Using frequency and time domain on identification of bedload transport

River erosion is a serious and worrying problem. River erosion can lead to disasters such as landslides and damage to water structures. The material that is often carried away from the erosion process is bedload, a large sedimentary material that moves on the riverbed. The process of moving the bedload is called bedload transport. To anticipate erosion problems, steps are taken to examine the characteristics and properties of vibrations on the bedload. The research was conducted in a laboratory using an open channel cross-sectional model, namely the multi-purpose teaching flume. The research was conducted using the frequency and time domain method. In this study, the bedload vibration signal was recorded with the accelerometer sensor. The data recorded by the accelerometer was extracted and analyzed. From the results of the accelerometer data extract, it can be concluded that the diameter and discharge of the bedload affect the properties and characteristics of the vibration of the bedload which varies at each frequency and time parameter. © 2024 AIP Publishing LLC.
