Load Data from txt Text Files and Automatically Generate Hysteresis Loop Plots with Color-Coded Cycling Periods

Detailed Documentation

After importing data from txt text files, the program will automatically generate hysteresis loop plots. The algorithm identifies different loading cycles and represents them using distinct colors for visual differentiation. Through customizable plotting functions (typically implemented via matplotlib in Python or plot in MATLAB), users can clearly observe curve evolution over time, including peak and valley positions. Key implementation steps include data parsing using file I/O operations (e.g., Python's open() or MATLAB's textread), cycle detection through threshold-based segmentation algorithms, and color mapping with cycling indices. These visualizations enable comprehensive analysis of data trends and patterns, facilitating deeper insights for data processing and structural behavior analysis.
