I have an array of data which is linear initially and then changes to a curve (e.g. a stress-strain curve for a material). I created a tangent to the linear part and I want to detect when the slope of the "real" curve, i.e. data array, changes more than 10% from the slope of the fitted tangent line. I know that the curve will always have a slope that is smaller than the fitted line.
thanks in advance.
