MTS Fatigue Template - Manual (Page 100)

10.4.0 Analyze Data
10.4.1.0 Strain View
The template is preconfigured with an analysis definition that conforms to the analysis portion of the ASTM
standard. The analysis definition can be used to analyze the test run in either the Fatigue Analyzer or Fracture
Analyzer application and contains the following tables and charts.
Inelastic Strain Min Max Table
The Inelastic Strain Min Max table contains the measured and calculated minimum and maximum inelastic
strain values. The table also contains the measured plastic strain range.
Modulus by Cycles Table
The Modulus by Cycles table contains these values:
• Calculated cycle modulus
• Calculated loading modulus
• Calculated unloading modulus
• Hysteresis area
• Calculated first cycle modulus
Peak Valley Data by Cycles Table
The Peak Valley Data by Cycles table contains the peak and valley values of each cycle:
• Load
• Stress
• Strain
• Displacement
Cycle Variables Table
The Cycle Variables table contains information about cycle variables. If the value is modified during analysis,
a check mark appears in the Modified column and the value in the Value column differs from the value in the
Original Value column. Modified values do not replace, change, or remove original test results data.
Variable Table
The Variable table contains information about test variables. If the value is modified during analysis, a check
mark appears in the Modified column and the value in the Value column differs from the value in the Original
Value column. The table includes:
• Category
• Display Name
• Value
