plotDefectAcc: Draw accumulation path damage areas

In simLife: Simulation of Fatigue Lifetimes

Description

Plot accumulation of damage projection areas

Usage

plotDefectAcc(CL, last.path = FALSE, log.axis = "x", use.col = TRUE,
  main = "", ...)

Arguments

CL	result of accumulation simulation, see simFracture
last.path	logical, last.path=FALSE (default), show the critical area accumulation path leading to the overall failure
log.axis	character, log.axis='x' (default), switch to logarithmic scale
use.col	optional, do colering or black and gray values
main	optional, main title of the plot
...	optional, graphical parameters, see par

Details

Simple plotting function to visualize the process of damage accumulation separately for interior objects and objects hitting the surface of the simulation box (specimen)

Value

the accumulation path of damage areas as a list containing the starting and end points of each horizontal line (the current convex hull area value) together with the starting point of the next convex hull of damage projections and whether the damage occured in the interior or at the surface of the simulation box
