Abstract In this study, based on the rod tensile model, a conversion relationship between three-point bending specimen with fixed constraints (TPBSF) and uniaxial creep data in the large deformation stage is defined by the reference stress method. Using finite element method, conversion coefficients are determined. Then it is verified by the creep test data of A7N01 at 350 °C (Zhuang, F. K., 2014, “Research on Creep Test Method of Small Specimen Based on Beam Bending Theory,” Ph.D. thesis, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China). The results show that creep stress exponent n is the same, but creep constant B obtained by rod tensile model is much closer to uniaxial creep than beam bending model. Finally, effects of geometric parameters and friction on conversion coefficients are investigated. On this basis, the specimen cross section aspect ratio greater than 1 and the indenter radius larger than 1 mm are recommended to minimize the influence of TPBSF geometric parameters on conversion coefficients. The influence of friction on conversion coefficients can be negligible.

Uniaxial Creep

The small punch testing (SPT) technique has been proposed for use in determining the creep properties of materials for which only a very small volume of material is available. A draft code of practice on SPT has been produced. However it is not, as yet, generally accepted that the data obtained from small punch tests can be directly related to those which would be obtained from conventional uniaxial creep tests. For this reason, the development of techniques suitable for the interpretation of SPT data has become very important. In this paper, a set of uniaxial creep test data has been characterised in such a way as to gain an improved understanding of the correlation between the data from small punch tests and corresponding uniaxial creep tests. Finite element (FE) analyses of small punch creep tests, using a damage mechanics based creep model, have been performed. The effect of large deformation on the determination of material properties for a creep damage model, has been investigated to take into account the large deformation nature of small punch tests. An equivalent stress, σeq, proposed by the draft code, was used to relate the SPT results to the corresponding uniaxial creep test results. A preliminary assessment of the use of small punch test results, in determining creep properties, has been presented, which includes comparisons of the failure life and equivalent minimum strain rate results obtained from SPTs with the corresponding uniaxial creep test data. Future work related to the interpretation of SPT is briefly addressed.

The Relationship

The small punch creep (SPC) test is possible to predict residual creep life at a high accuracy. But, the results of SPC tests cannot be compared with uniaxial creep or internal pressure creep results directly. In this report, the relationship between SPC test results and uniaxial creep test results in ASME A335 P11 (1.25Cr-0.5Mo Steel) was studied. The obtained relationship between SPC load and equivalent uniaxial creep stress formed a simple linear equation under the wide range of test temperature and test period. Then, the SPC results can be compared with uniaxial results by converting SPC loads to the equivalent uniaxial creep stresses. The relationship between SPC test results and internal pressure creep tests results was also studied. The internal creep life of as-received P11 pipe was almost same as SPC result when the hoop stress was converted to the SPC load. The creep lives of internal pressure creep influenced materials also showed good correspondence with SPC results. Therefore SPC can estimate the residual life of internal pressure creep influenced materials.

Constant load creep experiments were conducted using a depth-sensing indentation instrument with indentation depths in the submicron range. Experiments were conducted on polycrystalline Sn and sputtered Al films on Si substrates. The results show that the plastic depth versus time curves and the strain rate versus stress plots from these experiments are analogous to those obtained from conventional creep experiments using bulk specimens. The value of the stress exponent for Sn is close to the reported values from uniaxial creep tests. Tests on Al films showed that the stress exponent is dependent on the indentation depth and is governed by the proximity to the film/substrate interface. Load change experiments were also performed and the data from these tests were analyzed. It is concluded that indentation creep experiments may be useful in elucidating the deformation properties of materials and in identifying deformation mechanisms.

Term Creep

The hydraulic loading device commonly used for creep test necessitates continuous recharge of the hydraulic pressure with time and is accompanied by slight variation of the permanent load at each recharge. Therefore, accurate test results cannot be obtained for long-term creep tests requiring time-dependent behavioral analysis during more than 6 months. This study conducts creep test as part of the analysis of the long-term characteristics of fiber-reinforced lean concrete sub-base of pavement. The creep test is executed using the new load-amplifier device not a conventional loading device. Since the results of the preliminary verification test on the new creep test device show that constant permanent load is applied without significant variation, it can be expected that more accurate measurement of the creep will be possible in a long-term compared to the conventional hydraulic device. In addition, the creep test results of sub-base specimens reveal the occurrence of large instantaneous elastic strain, differently from the strain curve observed in ordinary concrete, as well as the occurrence of small creep strain leading to low creep coefficient.

Uniaxial Creep

The small punch (SP) creep test was carried out at the temperatures of 823∼923 K by using a further miniaturized specimen, namely, TEM disk-type specimen (φ 3.0×t0.25 mm). The tests were applied to the fine grain heat affected zone (FGHAZ), tempered HAZ (THAZ) and base metal (BM), respectively, which were removed from the joint of the reduced activation ferritic steel welded by an electron beam welding, in order to investigate the creep properties of such local regimes. The results obtained from the SP creep test were correlated with those of uniaxial creep tests using the base metal (BM) and welded joint (WJ). Experimental results revealed that there were no large differences between the SP creep rupture strengths of the FGHAZ and THAZ and that of the BM at the relatively high load levels. This result was in good agreement with the fact that the uniaxial creep strength of the WJ was almost coincident with that of the BM at the relatively high stress levels. In addition, the ratio of load (P) to stress (σ), which gave same rupture time, was calculated by using the creep rupture data of the BMs. As a result, the ratio was determined to be 0.43, resulting in the following equation; P = 0.43 σ.
