“…It can be used for testing irradiated materials to minimize the radiation dose, determining the local properties of weld zones or the remaining life of service exposed parts, the development of new materials available in limited amounts, etc. Different specimen geometries have been introduced in the past for tensile, fracture, and creep properties determination [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ], including the well-known small punch test (SPT) and small punch creep test (SPC) [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The typical shape of the small punch specimen is most often a disc of 8 mm diameter or a square 10 × 10 mm and 0.5 mm thickness.…”
