MTS MPT Elastomer Static Deflection
Release date = 2004-03-30. Resolved the endless-loop condition occuring in the subroutine index_window()
when applied to very short, strongly aliased *.dat
files.
perl gus_mpt_elast_static_def.pl
An ex-post-facto recalculator for static deflection stiffness data.
Reads in one or more MTS-default specimen.dat
files. From amongst any other formats therein, the script will seek out only static deflection records. It then re-calculates every test intelligently seeking the shallowest slope via lightly hanned, average chords of 6, 7, 8 and 9 points. It lastly reports loss-of-stiffness in percent as compared against a user-selected N-th test from the series.
This script requires the Tk
a graphical user interface toolkit module for Perl.
*.exe
attached. The script is free but burning stand-alone *.exe
's for Win32 is a service. My own time I value quite the same as you. Thus will I expect a half-hour's pay (at your own rate, whatever it be) to appear in my mailbox a week or so later.
specimen.dat
files by the Dynamic Characterization process in the Elastomer module of MultiPurpose TestWare by MTS. No matter that said file may also contain other data of unlike format there embeded by other MPT processes (such as Static Deflection, etc.).
specimen.dat
ASCII file format. If you have a specific need which I've yet to addres, feel free to write. Include an example of the specimen.dat
file and how you'd like to see it munged.
