14.6.3 How to obtain waviness motifs
1. Determine the peak and valley of a waviness motif.
Assuming the peak data in a roughness motif as a data sample (point), do the following
from the first point.
Search for a point with a height that is heigher than the next point, and set this point as a
peak.
Search for a point with a height that is lower than the next point, and set this point as a
valley.
2. Compose a waviness motif.
Perform operations similar to those described in 4) and 5) of 14.6.1 How to obtain rough-
ness motifs.
Note that, LR should be replaced by LW (upper limit of waviness motif length).
3. Calculate the waviness motif parameters.
While selecting motifs with a width that is greater than LW, obtain the parameters of the
waviness motif.
