Specifically for the AMPT Figures updated for the AMPT Sample preparation and test setup
information updated to be clearer for AMPT users
Removed Appendix X7 (strain selection to target specific Nf) from 2014 version to alleviate confusion on strain selection o Specific Nf is not as important as range of Nf
for this process
Example of Updated Figures
New Version 2014 Version
New Strain Selection Appendix
Family of curves method Allows simpler estimation of AMPT input “target
on-specimen strain” Run initial test at a strain specified by fingerprint
dynamic modulus Use included table to reach an approximate Nf
for subsequent specimens
