Syntax
HysteresisArea(StressArray, StrainArray)
Parameters
StressArray
StrainArray
MeasInelasticStrainMax
Measured Inelastic Strain Maximum. The measured inelastic strain range is specific to materials fatigue
testing, especially Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF). The application calculates the mean stress from the stress
and strain data that represents one cycle. The two points where the mean intersects the curve determines
the strain values. The MeasInelStrainMax function returns the maximum of these two strain values. The
MeasInelStrainMin function returns the minimum of these two strain values.
Returns
Returns the maximum of the two strain values as described above.

and strain data that represents one cycle. The two points where the mean intersects the curve determines
the strain values. The MeasInelStrainMax function returns the maximum of these two strain values. The
