• Physical Stress Intensity
• Net Section Stress
• Validity
Channels by Time
The Channels by Time table lists all data points collected in arrays:
• KIC Time Array
• KIC Load Array
• KIC Crack Opening Displacement Inverted Array
• Displacement Inverted Array
Charts
The charts provide visual indicators of the data reported in the tables.
• The Load vs. Time chart indicates changes in the load during the test.
• The COD vs. Time chart indicates changes in the crack opening displacement during the test.
• The Displacement vs. Time chart indicates changes in the displacement during the test.
• The Load vs. COD chart indicates how the load changes as the load crack opening displacement gage
reading changes during the test. This chart shows pop-ins, if any occur in the test.
• The K-R Curve chart indicates the valid and invalid stress intensity data points.
