Scripts usage and outputs

1. Run : Tissue_Data_Extraction.py -> Extracts pc-loads, preconditioning and stress-relaxation data and stores in separate text files. Needs at least one Mach1 data file.


Following can be used in any sequence

2. preconditioning_repeatability.py: plots pc peaks and picks peaks at 20 cycles and 1000 cycles and plots the output. All the outputs are also saved in a text file. Input needed : at least one pc data file, area of cross section


3. pc_loads_repeatability1.py: calculates moduli for ramps before and after preconditioning. input needed = csv file (pc_loads_repeatability.txt) with data file names, individual extracted information csv, thickness/length, area of cross section  
repeatability results are plotted and saved (.svg and .csv). Outputs are plotted and results are saved in text files.   

4. stress_relaxation_repeatability1.py: this script takes extracted stress relaxation data and, 1) finds zero force reference location, calculates various moduli and saves them to the output xml file. If multiple files provided, mean and SD for moduli and thickness values are also calculated and stored. data is plotted and saved.
# input needed =  stress_relaxation_repeatability.txt :  contains name of text file with extracted stress relaxation data, name of output csv file generated from data extraction file, sample thickness/length, area of cross section depending on the test (thickness * 1 for tension, 19.625 for compression (pi * r * r = 3.14 * 2.5 * 2.5)) : information for atleast one test is expected.
