Test Analysis Test analysis is a strength of L3 Series software. Rather than requiring you to specify the results you need prior to performing your test (which you can do in L3 Plus if you’d like), you can also analyze your test using special graphical analysis tools using your graph trace that was created. You can select points on the trace and get stress, strain, load, distance or time measurements. You can specify a point by requesting the stress measurement at 100mS after the maximum stress was measured. You can specify any point, using any method you desire for your complete test or for a segment or segments within your test. You can find the elastic modulus with a single press on your stress- strain curve. You can use tangent slope or chord slope to determine the stress-strain values anywhere on your curve. You can determine the rate of change and determine the spring rate for a spring using the curve.
If you are performing a peel test, you can specify the criteria of a peak and find the first peak that meets that criterion; you can count peaks; you can average peaks; you can measure the delta load from one peak to another peak. Test analysis is easy to perform and your measurements can be displayed in the Results view, on your graph or in your detailed Data view. You can apply tolerances on your results and your results will display differently showing you were a result is “out of tolerance”.
