In this paper a miniaturized mechanical testing system designed for multiple testing modes is described. The main testing modes include (1) constant displacement rate testing in uniaxial tensile, compressive, and cyclic loading; (2) load relaxation testing; and (3) indentation hardness testing with a controlled displacement rate or displacement (load relaxation) with an indentation probe size as small as a few micrometers in diameter. The system, originally developed for testing materials and interconnecting structures for microelectronic components, is designed so that tests in different modes can be performed with only minor modifications. For room temperature testing, the temperature stability of the system is better than 0.1°C. The maximum loading capacity and displacement range are ~ 100 N and 5 cm, respectively, and the smallest displacements that can be controlled are ~ 0.01 μm.

This book is a comprehensive overview of methods of characterizing the mechanical properties of engineering materials using specimen sizes in the micro-scale regime (0.3-5.0 mm). A range of issues associated with miniature specimen testing like correlation methodologies for data transferability between different specimen sizes, use of numerical simulation/analysis for data inversion, application to actual structures using scooped out samples or by in-situ testing, and more importantly developing a common code of practice are discussed and presented in a concise manner.

High Temperature Miniature Specimen Test Methods, for the first time in book format, focuses on a comprehensive and thorough introduction to a range of high temperature, miniaturized test methods at elevated temperatures which are used to obtain “bulk creep or fatigue properties from a small volume of material. Complicated mathematics and modelling are not involved. It is intended to be of use to a wide range of audience of engineers (e.g. designers, manufacturers, metallurgists, stress analysts), researchers (e.g. materials scientists) and students (undergraduate and postgraduate) in the field of high-temperature material and structural integrity assessment. Specific novel features of the book include 1] theoretical basis of each test method; 2], data interpretation method of each test method; and 3] specific application of each test method. Provides the theoretical basis of each test method Includes the data interpretation method of each test method Presents specific applications and the limitations of each test method, along with opportunities for future developments

Small specimen test techniques become ever more popular as the need increases to characterize mechanical properties by use of the smallest possible amount of material, due to various restrictions on material availability, irradiation, testing space, and other factors. NIST is currently developing reference miniaturized Charpy V-notch (MCVN) specimens for the indirect verification of small-scale impact testing machines. The same materials used for NIST standard verification specimens are being evaluated at three energy levels (low, high and super-high). Two specimen types are being investigated, denominated KLST (from the German Kleinstprobe, or "small specimen") and RHS (reduced half-size). Several instrumented impact tests on miniaturized KLST and RHS specimens of low, high and super-high energy have been performed and analyzed. The variability of MCVN data has been compared to that of full-size Charpy data from the same lot of test specimens. Although this can be considered just the preliminary phase of this project, the results indicate that MCVN verification specimens can be used for the indirect verification of small-scale instrumented impact testers, both in terms of absorbed energy and maximum force. Additional aspects have also been investigated, such as the influence of shear lip symmetry and specimen fracture on absorbed energy and the correlation between miniaturized and full-size Charpy data.
