Standard servo-controlled hydraulic mechanical test systems have been modified to conduct elevated temperature, strain controlled creep-fatigue tests. These modifications include the design of special grips, the use of quartz rod extensometry, and the use of induction heating. In addition, digital computer control and data acquisition allow greater test flexibility and more precise data analysis and interpretation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
