Overview

InField was designed with test and design engineers in mind.

Calculator and Filtering

We have compiled a suite of tools ranging from easy-to-use plotting capabilities to powerful engineering tools needed to make tough design decisions.

Statistics

Identify statistics such as Max and Min, Standard Deviation, RMS, Mean and more.

Calculator

Perform a wide range of mathematical functions on your data.

Filtering

Design your own digital filter to apply to your data. You can select Butterworth or a FIR filter and design a low pass, high pass, band stop or band pass filter.

DataModes™

DataModes™

DataModes™ allow you to reformat time history data into various other formats such as; Time at Level Histograms, Peak Valley Histograms, Burst Histories, Rainflow or just convert to another time history with different triggering or gating options.

Relative Damage Comparator (INFIELD-RDC)

This analysis module compares selected channels with regard to their potential for causing fatigue damage. The first channel selected will be a reference to which other selected channels are compared. Channels are compared in three different fatigue life regimes: fatigue crack propagation, long life and low cycle fatigue.

Fatigue Module (INFIELD-FATIGUE)

InField 2.0 calculates fatigue life employing a wide range of fatigue models using time series, rainflow cycles, sequential peak valley or user-defined amplitude loads. You can quickly calculate the time from crack initiation to final fracture for a wide range of structures, materials and loading situations. InField 2.0 features a wide range of fatigue analysis calculations and modules including:

Stress Life (S/N):

Used to perform fatigue analysis when empirical data is available for surface finish notch factors with easily obtained material properties from tensile tests.

FatigueStrain Life (ε - N):

Used for variable amplitude loading of components with stress concentrations because it allows for a more accurate accounting of cumulative damage and load sequence effects.

Welded Detail Analysis (BS 5400):

With the theoretical background in fracture mechanics, this module uses S/N curves for various welded joint details as the material data.

Load Life (P/N):

Used to perform fatigue analysis independent of material properties.

Crack Growth Analyzer:

Deals with growing fatigue cracks to assess the remaining life of a structure.

Rosette Analysis (INFIELD-ROSETTE)

Rosette Analysis converts the three strains from a rosette strain gage (rectangular or delta) into orthogonal axial strains and/or stresses. Optionally, these can be further resolved into principle strains, principle stresses, tensile or shear strains at arbitrary angles, Von Mises stress, etc. Rosette strain gages eliminate the problem of perfectly orienting single strain gages; strain at any angle can be later computed with Rosette Analysis.  

FrequencyAdvanced Frequency Module (INFIELD-FREQ)

This module allows a user to perform FFT, Inverse FFT, and FRF analysis on time domain data. This module also provides a frequency-based resampling tool. The desired sample rate does not need to be an integer multiple. For example, you can resample 204.8Hz to 200Hz.
