The impression creep test method has been used extensively to determine the in-service properties of power plant components from a small volume material. In standardisation test, determination maximum ‘allowable’ indentation depth is an important issue. This paper presents results finite element analyses obtained using simplified based on steady-state creep, for evaluating variation conversion ...

This paper addresses the identification of the parameters of a nonlinear constitutive law from indentation tests. The case of a standard generalized material without work hardening is extensively treated using the adjoint state method. This provides a general framework to perform optimization involving contact conditions and nonlinear material behaviour. A numerical identification is presented ...

When sea ice acts on vertical structures, there are much higher pressures in localized areas known as high-pressure zones (HPZs) than other areas. The damage failure mode of varies with the velocity and affects distribution HPZs. In this study, an indentation test that drives sheet interaction a rigid plate (indentor) was designed, pressure sensor (consisting 32 × small units 100 mm2) installed...

The abstract should be a single paragraph in block format (without paragraph indentation) and should not exceed 120 words. See section 1.07 of the APA manual (American Psychological Association [APA], 2001) for additional information. The abstract is simply a summary of the paper. One trick in writing the abstract is to write one summary sentence for each major part of the paper. Then you will ...
