Abstract:The work presented in this paper forms part of the research related to the development of small specimen creep testing techniques, which can be used when only small volumes of materials are available. Commonly used small creep test specimen types such as the impression and small ring creep tests can be only used to determine the minimum creep strain rate data. In this paper, two novel small-sized creep test specimens are described: (i) the recently developed small two-bar specimen, which is suitable for use in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
