A rainflow counting matrix visualizes the results of rainflow cycle counting from a load or stress time history. The matrix displays cycle counts as a 2D heatmap where one axis represents cycle amplitude (half-range), the other represents cycle mean value, and color intensity represents the frequency of each cycle combination. This is a fundamental tool in fatigue analysis and durability engineering, used to characterize variable-amplitude loading for fatigue life prediction.
