Fatigue Process
About the Fatigue Process
The Fatigue process accumulates cycles in a histogram and calculates a damage
number (in the form of a statistical value) based on the histogram content.
Note The MPT Fatigue process calculates damage numbers using the same
algorithms as the Advanced Editing and Analysis feature of the MTS
RPC III™ product.
Periodically, the histogram and damage numbers are saved to disk, and sent to the
Fatigue Monitoring application via a proprietary data exchange protocol.
With the Fatigue Monitoring application, you can monitor the fatigue data in a
real-time, graphical format.
