Abstract

A Small Punch Test is a non-destructive technique for evaluating mechanical behaviour. The main advantage of this testing technique is the fact that material can be extraxted from a component in service due to the small dimensions of the speciments.Typical test specimens cut from components are similar in size to a normal human fingernail.
