Abstract

Determination of tensile properties is essential for the design and strength assessment of structures. In this study, a modified small punch test (SPT), known as the single-stress small punch test (SS-SPT), was proposed to investigate the tensile properties of five ductile homogeneous materials, namely P91, Q245R, 316SS, 1045 steel, and 2024Al. The SS-SPT specimen was subjected to a single stress state when subjected to a punch force, similar to that of a uniaxial tensile test (UTT) specimen. Additionally, UTT and standard SPT were carried out to investigate the tensile properties of these materials. The thickness of failed standard SPT and SS-SPT specimens was measured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the equivalent fracture strain was calculated. Correlation relationships between each type of SPT and UTT results were established. Experimental results indicated that both the SS-SPT and standard SPT demonstrated comparable accuracy in determining yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, and tensile elongation. However, the SS-SPT exhibited greater accuracy than the standard SPT in determining fracture strain due to direct measurement of the thinnest thickness from the fracture in failed SS-SPT specimens.

期刊介绍： Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind. The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
