API ReferenceΒΆ

Collection of submodules to identify Prony series parameters of linear viscoelastic materials from measurements in either the time (relaxation tests) or frequency domain (DMTA).

load

Collection of functions to load measurement data and prepare pandas dataframes for further processing.

master

Collection of functions to prepare the master curve for the identification of the Prony series parameters.

opt

Collection of functions to minimize the number of Prony series terms used in the Generalized Maxwell model.

out

Collection of functions to write pandas dataframes to files or buffer.

prony

Collection of function to pre-process the master curve and perform the Prony series parameter identification.

shift

Collection of functions to apply the time-temperature superposition principle to create a master curve from measurements performed at different temperatures.

styles

Collection of function to define figure style and html styles for Jupyter Notebooks.

verify

Collection of function to compare and verify the Python implementation within this module with the curve fitting routine of Ansys APDL 2021 R1.
