Project: An R-package for estimating Young's Modulus from Texture Profile Analysis Data Author: Arun S. Moorthy Version: 0.1 Date: 2016-07-21 Licence: GPL v3 or newer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage Instructions: 1) Place R-package in working directory. Place TPA data csv in working directory. 2) Install package: > install.packages("mrlTPAYoungsMod_0.1.0.tar.gz") 3) Load library: > library(mrlTPAYoungsMod) 4) Estimate Youngs Modulus from TPA data: > Em = asm_TPA_YM(L,CA,SMax,"datafile", bounds) where L is the length/height of the sample, CA is the cross-sectional area of the sample, SMax is the maximum strain set during compression, “datafile” is the csv (which must be in the working directory), and bounds is an optional input array indicating the strains in which a linear fit should be taken to approximate Young’s Modulus. The resulting modulus is stored in variable Em. For help, contact: Dr. Arun S.
