DescriptionParameter

Specify the rate at which the system reloads

the specimen to the load value at the

JIC Reload Rate

beginning of the first unload segment in each

step increment. If the ramp rate is invalid for

the specimen being tested, the application

corrects the value of the ramp rate when you

click Run to start the test.

Specify the method for determining the

amount of force to apply in both the unload

and reload segments:

JIC Unload Method

• Absolute—Specify that the amount force

to apply is in absolute terms.

• Percentage—Specify that the amount of

force to apply is a percentage of the

increment peak load.

• Minimum of absolute and

percentage—Specify that the amount

force to apply is the smaller resulting

value of the two methods above.

Specify the rate at which the system unloads

the specimen in the unload segments in each

JIC Unload Rate

step increment. If the ramp rate is invalid for

the specimen being tested, the application

corrects the value of the ramp rate when you

click Run to start the test.

Displacement Mode Parameters

DescriptionParameter

Specify the amount of force, in force units,

to unload in both the unload and reload

segments.

JIC Absolute Unload

Specify the displacement increment added

to the current displacement level at the

JIC Displacement Increment

beginning of each ramp segment to

determine a maximum displacement for this

step. If the maximum displacement is

reached before the maximum COD or load

level is reached, it triggers the next segment

of the step.
