  • Patent number: 11598705
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for measuring a creep crack growth property using a small specimen with a micro groove are provided. The apparatus for measuring a creep crack growth property includes a lower die on which an edge of the specimen is mounted and which includes a lower die hole formed in the center thereof, an upper die coupled to an upper portion of the lower die so as to fix the specimen, and a punching unit inserted into an upper die hole formed in the center of the upper die so as to press an upper surface of the specimen, wherein a semielliptical micro groove is formed in a lower surface of the specimen to measure a creep crack growth property.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2023

  • Patent number: 8626470
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reversible permeability measuring device for measuring magnetic characteristics and magnetic flux change in a specimen, as one of a plurality of non-destructive methods for evaluating mechanical properties. The reversible permeability measuring device of the present invention directly measures a magnetic field change induced at the surface of the specimen through the use of a magnetic potentiometer and a flux meter, thereby accurately evaluating the deterioration of materials.
