A Novel Approach to Small Punch Fatigue Testing

open access: yesKey Engineering Materials, 2017
Miniaturised mechanical test approaches are now widely recognised as an established means of obtaining useful mechanical property information from limited material quantities. To date these methods have largely been adopted to characterise the creep, tensile and fracture characteristics of numerous material systems from a range of industrial ...

Fracture Toughness by Small Punch Testing

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 1995
Abstract The small punch test, currently being used to empirically estimate the material fracture appearance transition temperature (FATT) of a range of components in fossil power plant service, has been further developed for direct estimation of KIc and JIc in a manner that is analytical, material-independent, and requires no prior ...

Small Punch Creep Test: An Overview

Metals and Materials International, 2020
Small punch creep (SPC) test has an important role in the remaining life calculation of in-service components functioning at high temperature and harsh ambience. Since the extraction of conventional full scale specimens from the components in service impairs its integrity, SPC test can be used as an alternative technique. This test method requires very

Computational Simulation of Small Punch Test

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
The paper deals with numerical simulation of Small Punch Test (SPT). SPT is a penetration test used to determine basic mechanical properties from a tiny piece of material. The testing procedure drew a great interest in the last decade, nevertheless there are no generally accepted standards for this type of testing until now.

The small ball punch test at FZJ

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2008
Abstract The next generation of nuclear power reactors and neutron sources, together with the test devices for the fusion program, will pose an unprecedented severity of the environment for structural components near the irradiation sources. Therefore there is a need for material development and testing in the anticipated conditions and a number of ...

Small Punch Testing in Creep Conditions

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2001
Abstract The creep behavior of low-alloy steel was studied using small punch tests under the action of constant force. Disks with a diameter of 8 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm were pushed against a die with a bore of 4 mm diameter using a ball of 2.5 mm diameter. The time dependence of the central deflection was registered.

Overview of Small Punch Test

Metals and Materials International, 2019
Small Punch Test (SPT) is an evolving small specimen test technique which has the potential to extract the mechanical properties from small volume specimens. This test method is used to determine the in situ mechanical properties of components in service for measuring the structural integrity and residual life.

Characterization of PEEK biomaterials using the small punch test

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2011
The small punch test is widely used to characterize the ductility and fracture resistance in metals and ceramics, when only a small volume of material is available. This study was conducted to investigate the suitability of the small punch test for characterizing polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymeric biomaterials for changes in material grade ...

On the Correlation of Fracture Quantities in Small Punch Test

Key Engineering Materials, 2013
Several possible routes are available for estimation of fracture behaviour from the results of small punch tests performed at constant rate of deflection. The routes include: (i) measurement of relevant dimensions directly on ruptured specimens, (ii) determination of critical deflections on the load vs.

Characterisation of Mechanical Properties by Small Punch Test

Key Engineering Materials, 2014
The specific desired properties for structures and components working in critical environments (e.g. different structure parts of power plants) require current information about degradation processes coming out in materials. Obtaining of this information by the help of the classical tests of mechanical properties (tensile test, Charpy test, fracture ...
