Seventh: Analysis

Analyzing different parameters according to different standards, as following

picture:

(1)Plastic elongation, pressure, strength of bending

Position 1 and position 2 is collecting point for calculating Rp in software,

for example, position 1 is 0.2%, then it is Rp0.2.

ÿ Graphic method: calculating method if elastic segment is shown

obviously.

ÿ Gradual approaching method,hysteresis loop method: calculated

method if elastic segment is not shown obviously.
(2)Elastic section:

P1, P2(force-deformation curve) should be taken from elastic

segment(before yielding), adjusting percentage of 2 points properly according

curve, value of 2 points is related to value of Rp, elasticity modulus.

ÿLoad Peak: evaluating it according to percentage of

26

[Link](common method).

ÿStrain: evaluating it according to percentage of [Link](method for

plastic).
(3)Specified total elongation /pressure/bending
Software calculates percentage of evaluation about specified total
elongation/pressure/bending.
(4) Yield method
Start load: software judges until loading exceeds set value, it will not
judge yielding if set value is too large.
Inflection sensitivity: there must be slope change as elastic segment to
yielding segment, set range of value between 0.1 and 1, the larger the more
sensitivity.
Yielde sensitivity: it will take effect as exceeding starting point of judging
yield, set range of value between 2 and 20, the smaller the more sensitivity.
