3.4.6 Work Coefficient Work or sometimes referred to as Energy is used to determine the resilience of a material. Work is calculated as the area under the graph. The area may be calculated for the entire test range or to a scope range you specify. Work may be specified in Joules or Millijoules. Select the Work graph analysis tool. Next, select below the graph. Arrange the scope handles to the range you are interested. The area is displayed in blue. NOTE 1 joule equals 1000 newtons millimeter
Work is expressed in joules - 0.61. It does not display with a unit in the graph views. See the unit is Results or Data views.
The scope range was started from Lmin and moved backwards to the Start. Notice that “Start” identifies the Finish scope position.
