Corporate primary technical glossary. Precise locator: Calculating Different Types of Modulus, Chord Modulus, defines a start strain point and an end strain point with the slope joining their curve points. Adjacent Secant Modulus and Segment Modulus subsections distinguish an origin-based slope from a regression using intermediate observations. No publication date or individual author is inferred.
Primary manufacturer technical note, pp1–3. Page1 explains deformation of the frame, load cell, grips and specimen; pp2–3 describe a stiff dummy specimen in the same load string and subtraction of its displacement at matching forces. Used for measurement-path context and the assumptions of a compliance correction, not adopted software recommendations or accuracy specifications.
