HANDLING OF FATIGUE DATA IN COMPUTER ANALYSIS
Robert Fischer, U Wendt · 1978
A program system called FATIMA, developed for the easy handling of fatigue data for later computer analysis, is described. The basic idea of its realization was to specify a standard format for data input and to use that standard also for file storage and data processing. The organization and the functions of FATIMA were explained with particular emphasis on six autonomous program routines designed for the input, the correction, the modification, the transfer, the retrieval and the selection of individual or grouped sets of data for processing. Each of these program routines is provided with extensive dialogue capabilities for easy application even by users less familiar with the details of the design philosophy of FATIMA.
