The duty cycle of a perfect triangular wave is 50%. This means that the waveform spends an equal amount of time in the high and low states during each complete cycle. Specifically, the waveform rises linearly to its peak value and then falls back to zero, with both the rising and falling segments taking the same duration. Therefore, the time spent at the peak is balanced by the time spent returning to the baseline.
The code below can generate triangular wave in Matlab. A=2; t = 0:0.0005:1; x=A*sawtooth(2*pi*5*t,0.25); %5 Hertz wave with duty cycle 25% plot(t,x); grid axis([0 1 -3 3]);
The Fourier series of a triangular wave is a sum of sine terms that converge to the triangular shape. It can be expressed as ( f(x) = \frac{8A}{\pi^2} \sum_{n=1,3,5,...} \frac{(-1)^{(n-1)/2}}{n^2} \sin(nx) ), where ( A ) is the amplitude of the wave, and the summation runs over odd integers ( n ). The coefficients decrease with the square of ( n ), leading to a rapid convergence of the series. This representation captures the essential harmonic content of the triangular wave.

For waves the unit of one wave cycle per second is Hertz

RMS is an average. If you have a 50% duty square wave, the average will be 1/2 the peak. for a 33.3% duty cycle, the average will be 1/3 the peak, etc. VRMS = Vpeak x duty cycle
Duty cycle is a measure used to describe the symmetry of a square wave and refers to the percentage of the time that it spends at high level. For example if you have a 1 Mhz square wave the period will be 1us and if it is at high logic level for 0.5us and low for 0.5us, that will have a duty cycle of 50%.

Triangular wave generator is a device (for eg NE555 timer) that generates a triangular wave by integrating a square wave. In applications an ICL8038 IC can be used to generate all types of waves.
The duty cycle is (positive time) divided by (total cycle time) = 2/6 = 1/3 or 33.3 %

The monostable provides a square wave, which can be converted into a triangular wave by putting it through an integrator.
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
The fifth harmonic of a 500 Hz triangular wave would be at a frequency of 2500 Hz. This means that the fifth harmonic would have a frequency that is five times the fundamental frequency of the triangular wave.
