Measurement Of Power-Law Creep Parameters By Instrumented Indentation Methods, Caijun Su
Measurement Of Power-Law Creep Parameters By Instrumented Indentation Methods, Caijun Su
Doctoral Dissertations
New experimental methods have been developed to measure the uniaxial power-law creep parameters α [alpha] and n in the relation έ[epsilon dot]=α[alpha]σn[sigma] (έ [epsilon dot] is the creep strain rate and σ [sigma] is the creep stress) from the load, time, displacement and stiffness data recorded during an instrumented indentation experiment performed with a conical or pyramidal indenter. The methods are based on an analysis of Bower et al., which relates the indentation creep rate to the uniaxial creep parameters based on simple assumptions about the constitutive behavior (Bower et al., 1993 …
Reduced Leak Calibration Uncertainties By The Outgassing Quantification Method, Philip Mason Carper
Reduced Leak Calibration Uncertainties By The Outgassing Quantification Method, Philip Mason Carper
Masters Theses
Standard leaks are used throughout industry for various applications, such as gas transfer, calibration of mass spectrometers, and calibration of leak detectors. The ability to provide a controlled delivery of gases at relatively low flow rates makes standard leaks a popular choice for calibration standards. This ability also allows for precise quantities of gas to accumulate over time. The accumulation of gas from standard leaks is used as a “transfer standard” for making in-process adjustments to measurement instrumentation. With the advent of tighter quality control constraints, the quantification and control of leak rates is becoming an increasingly important matter, placing …
