Use the Rainflow Counting Technique $($half cycle or the full cycle method$)$ to assess the effective cycles from the repeating loading cycle shown below.

a$)$ Label all peaks & valleys with letters and values

b$)$ Identify all effective cycles by the half cycle or full cycle method $($whichever is convenient$)$

c$)$ If using the half cycle method, separate the peak$-$valley & valley$-$peak segments

d$)$ Use the table below to tabulate the effective cycles:
