Table 5 Description of the variables contained in the *Data.mat file for the tensile dog bones.
Variable | Description | Units | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
time | Elapsed time (time=0 marks the start of applied force) | s | [NumTime,1] |
strain | Engineering strain along the longitudinal direction (Y axis) calculated from the virtual extensometer according to Eqn. (2) | mm/mm | [NumTime,1] |
force | Force measured by the standard load cell along the Y axis | kN | [NumTime,1] |
IR_temperature_P* | Temperature measured by the IR camera at the two ends (P1 and P2) and the center (P0) of the virtual extensometer; two temperatures are provided, calculated with the bounds on the emissivity specified in Table 3 | oC | [NumTime,2] |
