Efciently gain accurate and repeatable results with racture
testing application sotware
or use on the modular and easy-to-use MTS TestSuite platorm.
Solutions are available in six separate modules or atigue crack
growth and racture toughness
testing. You can incorporate clip gage, potential drop and crack
gage measurements with these
modular additions to MTS TestSuite Multipurpose Testing Sotware.
You also have the option
to add a powerul, stand-alone Fracture Analyzer to gain greater
insight into your test data.
All six modules allow you to:
Save test articles by using the Virtual
Specimen eature during demonstrations,
training and test planning.
Ensure correct setups prior to testing
with a test validation eature.
React to events as they occur with a
user-confgurable graphical runtime view.
Easily change parameters during test
execution or utmost exibility.
Create standard reports with plots, tables
and summaries in Microsot Excel ormat.
Minimize setup time by saving and storing
procedures or uture use with similar tests.
Use a variety o specimen geometries in both
tension and bending loading ormation.
Design and run tests with an intuitive,
graphical workow that makes it easy to test
to ASTM and other standards.
User-confgurable runtime views let you see the data in theormat
you preer.
FractureTesting Solutions
Fatigue Crack Growth Modules These convenient solutions package
the test and report templates andcalculations you need or atigue
crack growth assessment in ull compliance with current ASTM
standards.
Predefned test templates let you efciently test to the ASTM E647
test standard. Features online load-
displacement, crack length vs. cycles, and da/dN plotting, test
shutdown and test parameter changes
during the test execution.
Clip Gage Module uses a clip gage and compliance method or crack
length measurement.
Crack Gage Module employs a Krak-Gage oil with Fractomat
processor or crack length measurement.
Direct Current Potential Drop (DCPD) Module measures crack
length and provides a voltage proportional
to the crack length on an analog output. The program allows you
to enter your own DCPD calibrations or
non-standard lead placement or non-standard geometries. Requires
a constant current power supply.
Productivity you can build on.MTS TestSuiteTM
Best o all, the Virtual Specimen eature included in all MTS
TestSuite atigue and racture testing
modules allows you to see how your test article will perorm in a
test without actually having to breaka specimen. The modules
include Virtual Specimens or standard specimen geometries and
tests. You
defne the parameters or stiness, degradation, initial crack
length, crack growth rate, yield load and
ultimate load that determine the behavior o the Virtual
Specimen. Then, you conduct a virtual test to
receive physically meaningul eedback o specimen behavior without
damaging a real specimen. Ideal
or demonstrations, training and test design verifcation.

See numerical and graphical data displays o tests in real
time.
Fracture Analyzer provides numerical analysis, fltering
andgraphical display o results.
Fracture Toughness Modules Get the test and report templates,
andcalculations required to design and run racture toughness tests.
These
tests will comply with current ASTM standards.
Predefned test templates let you efciently test to ASTM
E399,
E1290 and E1820 test standards.
The KIC Module perorms atigue pre-cracking and uses the
compliancemethod as primary crack length measurement. It ramps in
load, crack
opening displacement or actuator displacement control.
The CTOD Module provides test methods or the determination o
critical
crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) values at one or more o
several
crack extension events. These CTOD values can be used as a
measure
o racture toughness.
The JIC-CTOD Module eatures online load-displacement plotting,
test
shutdown/restart and test parameter changes during test
execution.
Supported activities are atigue pre-cracking and use o the
compliance
method as primary crack length measurement. This template
calculates
J R curves, CTOD R curves, critical J and critical CTOD.
Fracture Analyzer This powerul, stand-alone package lets you
achievenew levels o insight by conducting custom, in-depth analyses
o test data
fles to produce inormative results. Over time, youll build an
extensive
analysis library that allows you to meet your specifc testing
requirements
with speed and accuracy. Required or standard report creation,
this robust
data tool also allows you to post-process test data or perorming
in-depth
analysis in a graphical and tabular manner.
It is the ideal solution or:
Analysis o completed tests (separate rom test system
computer)
Re-analysis o a data set requiring updated parameters
What i? analysis to evaluate hypothetical scenarios
By purchasing a license or the optional MTS TestSuite Reporter
Add-In
package, you can also generate custom analysis reports.
All these racture testing solutions are available on the MTS
TestSuite platorm a powerul amily o
modular sotware built on a common and easy-to-use interace. Its
your next must-have tool or attaining
peak testing productivity, now and well into the uture.
