High Temperature Miniature Specimen Test Methods focuses on a comprehensive and thorough introduction to a range of high temperature, miniaturized test methods at elevated temperatures which are used to obtain "bulk creep or fatigue properties from a small volume of material. The book will be of use to a wide range of audience of engineers (e.g., designers, manufacturers, metallurgists, stress analysts), researchers (e.g., materials scientists) and students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in the field of high-temperature material and structural integrity assessment. Specific novel features include 1] theoretical basis of each method; 2], data interpretation method of each test, and 3] specific applications.
- Provides the theoretical basis of each test method
- Includes the data interpretation method of each test method
- Presents specific applications and the limitations of each test method, along with opportunities for future developments
