Documentation

Project Info

Overview#

Fishing Line Material Properties Analysis is a scientific computing tool designed to extract mechanical properties from tensile testing data of fishing line materials. The package provides automated analysis of stress-strain curves, calculation of material constants, and generation of publication-ready visualizations.

Key Features#

🔬 Material Properties Analysis#

Calculate modulus, yield stress, and maximum force from tensile test data with automated curve fitting and analysis.

âš¡ Kinetic Energy Estimation#

Compute kinetic energy and velocity from stress-strain curves using validated mechanical models.

📊 Publication-Ready Visualization#

Generate high-quality stress-strain plots with material property annotations suitable for scientific publications.

🚀 Batch Processing#

Process entire directory structures of test data automatically with parallel processing capabilities.

Quick Start#

Installation#

git clone https://github.com/nanosystemslab/Fishing_Line_Material_Properties_Analysis
cd Fishing_Line_Material_Properties_Analysis
poetry install

Basic Usage#

Analyze a single tensile test file:

poetry run Fishing_Line_Material_Properties_Analysis analyze -i data/test.csv

Process multiple samples with statistical analysis:

poetry run Fishing_Line_Material_Properties_Analysis analyze -i data/group_1/5in/*.csv --plot-type multi
