An Experimental Approach to the Application of Digital Image Correlation to Small Punch Creep Testing

Deterioration assessment of materials is essential to the continued effective operation of critical components operating, at high temperatures and stresses, in thermal power plants. Within progressive inspection strategies, small punch creep testing (SPCT) presents an effective method for establishi...
