AC-08-0012 TMF Application Software

AC-08-0012 TMF application is intended to perform Thermo Mechanic Fatigue test (as per ASTM E2368) under MTL32 environment with 2360 controller.The user interface includes specimen description, loading parameters, pump controls, test run/stop, graph display, numeric readouts of several relevant test parameters.Test descriptions and test settings are available as panels accessed by clicking on relevant tabs or pull down menu. 

 Standard features:                                                                               

 • Stepwise execution of TMF test.
 • Programmable phase angles for strain/temperature to generate in phase and 1800 out of phase waveforms.
 • Ability to generate sine, triangular, diamond-shaped and custom waveforms.
 • Online display of loading modulus, unloading modulus,K’, n’ yield stress,plastic strain, max-min stress and strain and temperature.
 • Auto stroke and strain limit settings ensuring safety.
 • Auto data acquisition settings.
 • Online graphs of stress vs strain and transients.
 • Offline post processing program to analyze the results in MS Excel.
 • Option to save the test profiles.
 • Option to remove residual strain.
 • Option to add strain to gage length.
 • Option to terminate the test at specified modulus drop, stress drop and/or increase in strain.
 • Independent cooling of heating and cooling segments.

 Online graphs display:

• Hysteresis loop (Load vs Strain).
• Load vs Temperature and Strain vs Time.
• Max./ Min. Load, Strain vs No. of Cycles, Temperature vs No. of Cycles 
• Temperature vs Strain and Load vs Strain 
• Plastic strain vs No. of Cycles, Modulus vs No. of Cycles.
• Max./Min. mechanical and temperature strain vs No. of Cycles.
