Abstract: In this paper, a new smallsized (twobar) specimen type, which is suitable for use in obtaining both uniaxial creep strain and creep rupture life data, is described. The specimen has a simple geometry and can be conveniently ...

Abstract: Full size creep test specimens, i.e., conventional uniaxial creep test specimen and Bridgman notch specimens are usually used to determine the full set of material constants for any creep model. However, in many situations, ...
