GRANTA MI:Lab Analysis

MI:Lab Analysis provides a range of specialist materials analysis capabilities that can be applied to test data in a GRANTA MI database, creating valuable information on properties such as creep, fatigue, fracture, and tensile behavior.

MI:Lab Analysis is a set of 'calculation modules' that operate on materials test data. They work as plug-ins to the MI:Toolbox product. The user selects the relevant materials records from the database using the MI:Toolbox user interface, chooses a calculation module, is prompted to fill in required input parameters, and then launches the calculation. This typically opens an Excel spreadsheet (as illustrated below) which reports results and allows them to be refined and manipulated. Finally, MI:Toolbox can be used to import results into the database.

• Compression
  
  
• Creep
  
  
• Stress Relaxation
  
  
• LCF / Cyclic Deformation
  
  
• Fatigue Crack Growth
  
  
• Fracture modules
  
  
• E399 Fracture Toughness
