MTS Fatigue Template - Manual (Page 102)

• Loading Unloading chart shows traces of the stress in relation to strain with markers to indicate the loading
and unloading start and end.
• Stress vs. Inelastic Strain chart shows traces of stress in relation to inelastic strain for the third cycle,
half-life cycle timed, and the last strain cycle.
• Inelastic Strain Min Max chart shows traces for minimum and maximum calculated values for the inelastic
strain.
• Failure Cycle chart shows the traces for the selected Y-axis variable with markers to indicate the failure
point and the half-life cycle peak valley. Drop-line markers indicate the slope of the trace.
• Modulus chart shows traces for the calculated loading and unloading modulus.
• Load vs. Time chart shows changes in the load during the test.
10.4.2.0 Analyze the Test Runs
Each test that you create from an MTS template contains a default analysis definition that can be used to
analyze the test run in either the Fatigue Analyzer or Fracture Analyzer application.
To analyze the test runs, use one of the following methods to open the test in one of the Analyzer applications:
• From either the Fatigue Analyzer or Fracture Analyzer application, click File > Open Test and select the
test that you want to analyze.
• Open the test in the Multipurpose Elite application and on the Tools menu, click Fatigue Analyzer or
Fracture Analyzer.
The selected Analyzer application opens the test.
For more information
See the Fatigue Analyzer User Guide for information on how to create an analysis run.
