Abstract: Because mechanical properties of structural materials for high-temperature use, such as boiler tubing, degrade during long-term service, it is essential to detect toughness degradation by means ...

Abstract: The procedure of the determination of yield and ultimate strengths of irradiated 2 1/4 Cr-1 M0 steel using small punch specimen (10 mm by 10 mm by 0.5 mm) has been demonstrated. The result ...

Abstract: Diamond film produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is being used in the electronics industry because of their excellent properties. In order to measure the adhesive strength of CVD diamond, ...

Abstract: The role of mechanical factors, such as ΔK, R, and K̇ (loading rate), and its significance on corrosion fatigue crack growth acceleration were discussed in terms of crack tip strain rate ...

Abstract: Elastic-plastic toughness characterization of SA533B nuclear pressure vessel steel is described in terms of the J integral approach. A simple test procedure has been proposed from which the JIC ...
