Technique for Tensile Creep Testing of Ceramics †

Authors:

Abstract
An experimental technique for measuring tensile creep deformation in ceramic materials to temperatures of 1500°C is described. The technique uses simple flat dog‐bone‐shaped specimens and a hot‐grip design for the loading fixture, which provide good alignment at minimum cost. Creep deformation is measured using laser extensometry to monitor the relative displacement of flags that are attached to the gauge section of the specimen.
