Property Investigations with an Automat Correlation Routine and Applications for a Set of Alloys

The present paper is focused on modeling of statistical data processing with applications in field of material science and engineering. A new method of data processing is presented and applied on a set of 10 Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic ordered shape memory alloys that are known to exhibit phonon softening and soft mode condensation into a premartensitic phase prior to the martensitic transformation itself. The method allows to identify the correlations between data sets and to exploit them later in statistical study of alloys. An algorithm for computing data was implemented in preprocessed hypertext language (PHP) and a hypertext markup language interface for them was also realized and putted onto comp.east.utcluj.ro educational web server and is accessible via http protocol at the address http://comp.east.utcluj.ro/~lori/research/ regression/linear/v1.3/. The program running for the set of alloys allow to identify groups of alloys properties and give qualitative measure of correlations between properties. Surfaces of property dependencies are also fitted.
