Investigation of small punch creep testing [PDF]
Assessing the damage level of in-service components and obtaining material properties for welded structures exposed to creep is essential for the safe operating of power generation industry. Standard creep testing techniques require relatively large volumes of material for the machining of testing samples.

Material plastic properties characterization by coupling experimental and numerical analysis of small punch beam tests [PDF]
A novel small punch beam testing (SPBT) system consisting of a top die, a bottom die and a flat punch with semi-circular cross-section head has been designed and tested. The specimen is a small beam with rectangular cross-section.

Characterisation of deformation process and fracture mechanisms of P91 steel at 600°C in small punch tensile testing [PDF]
This paper investigates the microstructural evolution and fracture mechanism of the P91 steel during small punch tensile tests. Disc specimens, 8 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness, were tested in a small punch test rig at 600 °C using a constant ...

Modeling a Small Punch Testing Device
A small punch test of a sample in miniature is implemented in order to estimate the ultimate load of CrMoV ductile steel. The objective of this study is to model the ultimate tensile strength and ultimate load indentation according to the geometrical parameters of the SPT using experimental data.

Material plastic properties characterization using a generic algorithm and finite element method modelling of the plane-strain small punch test [PDF]
In this paper, a novel plane strain small punch test (SPT) method is proposed for material plastic properties characterization. The plane strain SPT is different from the standard SPT in the two ways: (a) a long thin rectangular specimen (with dimensions

An Improved Correlation for the Estimation of the Yield Strength from Small Punch Testing
This study aims at improving the empirical correlation for estimating the yield strength from small punch tests. The currently used procedure in the European standard EN 10371 to determine the elastic–plastic transition force—based on bi-linear fitting ...
