MTS Fatigue Template - Manual (Page 52)

Description Chart Type
Shows traces of the stress in relation to strain with markers to indicate
the loading and unloading start and end. Loading Unloading
Shows traces of stress in relation to inelastic strain for the third cycle,
half-life cycle timed, and the last strain cycle. Stress vs. Inelastic Strain
Shows traces for minimum and maximum calculated values for the
inelastic strain. Inelastic Strain
Minimum-Maximum
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. Failure Cycle
Shows traces for the calculated loading and unloading modulus. Modulus
Shows changes in the load during the test Load vs. Time

6.5.2.0 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.
