Software Packages

GLUON Software packages for the 4890 Controller
The software uses notched specimens (CT specimens) to evaluate the material elasto-plastic fracture toughness value (JIC). The test is conducted at constant loading rate under test-force control or CTOD control and the load is removed to calculate the crack length. The software plots graphs of the crack length increase (Δa) and crack growth resistance (J value) from the acquired data, calculates the JIC value, and evaluates its validity.

Evaluation of Cycle Fatigue
This software applies cycle load to specimens and evaluates cycle fatigue. It supports all testing from low- through to high-cycle fatigue testing... -
Evaluation of Static Strength
This package supports all tensile, compression and bending static testing. Two or more control modes (e.g. stress/strain) and load speeds can be selected... -
Evaluation of Relationship between Crack Growth Rate and ΔK Value
Logical operation functions smoothly control the ΔK value to enable the evaluation of crack growth properties. This package can also be used for introducing pre-cracking of specimens in compliance with KIC and JIC fracture toughness standards... -
Calculation of KIC/COD Values
This package can conduct tests compliant with standards to calculate the KIC value and judge its validity. It can also evaluate the COD value... -
Calculation of JIC Value
This package enables JIC tests that involve difficult procedures to be conducted simply. After the test ends, a J-Δa graph is created, the JIC value is calculated, and judgment as to the validity of its value is made... -

Cellulose nanofibers
Given that cellulose nanofibers(CNFs)offer attractive physical characteristics, such as light weight, strength, and hardness, they not only enable materials with advanced functionality, but are expected to be used as a reinforcing material that can reduce the weight of composite materials.

Hydrogen Energy Analysis Solutions for Quality Control of Hydrogen
Impurities in hydrogen production affect subsequent industrial processes. Strict purity standards have been defined for hydrogen used in fuel cells (ISO 14687-2019). This is because if hydrogen contains carbon monoxide, sulfur components, etc., the catalyst of the fuel cell will be damaged. The hydrogen fuel standard for FCVs (ISO 14687 TypeII GradeD) defines many items to be controlled, and Shimadzu analytical instruments can play a role in analyzing these items.
