Parameters

ForceArray – The array containing force data.

StrainArray – The array containing Strain data.

StartIndex – The start index of the modulus region.

EndIndex – The end index of the modulus region

Tolerance – The percentage of the peak force used to locate the transition point.

AfterPeakFlag – An optional flag to specify looking for transition point after the peak load.

Unit Class

Strain

Example

Tolerance = 98% (shown at blue oval)

The point is found where the load value is 98% of the peak load. Then a line parallel to the modulus line
is drawn from this point back to the x-axis. The Plastic strain is the difference in strain values as shown
on the graph.

Plastic Strain Value

pow(base, exponent)

A number (base) is raised to an exponential power (exponent).

Returns

Returns the value of the base raised to the power specified by the exponent.
