| Popis: |
The fracture toughness of a material is of prime importance as input data to the assessment of defects within a structure. However, in many instances there are insufficient fracture toughness data available and little or no archive material available for testing. This has led to a drive towards testing smaller specimens that do not meet the minimum size requirements as given in current testing standards, or alternatively the development of re-constitution techniques. Furthermore, ‘boat’ or ‘scoop’ sampling techniques are available for removing small amounts of materials from operating plant and this again focuses attention on the desirability for testing smaller test pieces. |
