An Interpretation between Small Punch Creep and Uniaxial Tensile Creep Test: Computational and Empirical Approach

Abstract

The relationship between Small Punch (SP) creep testing and uniaxial tensile creep testing is crucial for translating findings from the innovative SP methodology to more conventional testing paradigms. This study involves both computational and empirical approaches to correlate the two testing methods effectively. The computational approach primarily utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) to model and simulate the stress states and deformation behaviors in SP creep tests. The empirical approach involves developing empirical relationships based on experimental data from both SP and uniaxial tensile creep tests. By integrating computational and empirical approaches, researchers can achieve a robust and reliable interpretation of SP creep test data in terms of conventional tensile creep test results.
