paramaterial 0.1.3

Software toolkit for parameterising materials test data. Easily batch process experimental measurements to determine mechanical properties and material model parameters.

About

A Python package for parameterizing materials test data. Given a set of experimental measurements, Paramaterial can be used to determine material properties and constitutive model parameters.

• Source Code: https://github.com/dan-slater/paramaterial

• Documentation: https://dan-slater.github.io/paramaterial/

• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/paramaterial/

• Examples: https://github.com/dan-slater/paramaterial-examples

The package was designed to help improve the quality and quantity of data available for materials modeling and simulation. It is hoped that using Paramaterial will help improve repeatability and reproducibility of materials test data analyses, and help to reduce the time and effort required to perform such analyses.

Installation

pip install paramaterial

Overview

Paramaterial is an open-source Python package for parameterising materials test data. Paramaterial provides functionality for the repeatable processing of mechanical test results, such as stress-strain data from a tensile test. An example of various stages of data processing that might be performed using the toolkit is shown in the figure below.

Paramaterial is also useful for generating a table of parameters from raw data, as illustrated below. Various data analysis techniques can then be applied to this table of parameters.
