A System for the Axial Loading of Creep Specimens.

Abstract

The problem of eccentricity of loading is considered in relation to tensile creep testing. An alignment system has been developed to provide for the measurement and correction of the eccentricity of loading relative to the centre line of the test specimen. The repeatability of creep test data using this system over a period of several years is reviewed. Comparison with deliberately malaligned tests indicates that axiality of loading contributes significantly to the repeatability of creep testing. (Author)
