High Temperature Miniature Specimen Test Methods

High Temperature Miniature Specimen Test Methods, for the first time in book format, 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. Complicated mathematics and modelling are not involved. It is intended to 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 of the book include 1] theoretical basis of each test method; 2], data interpretation method of each test method; and 3] specific application of each test method.

• 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
