Methodology of mechanical testing for evaluation of thermal ageing processes

The aim of this task is to design methodology and experimental matrix in order to obtain the maximum amount of information from the available materials according to the existing standards and laboratory practice. To accomplish this goal, standard as well non-standard testing methods will be taken into account, such a subsized specimen tests and Small Punch Test. Sample preparation procedure and transport logistics is part of the task.The following actions will be undertaken:- description of experimental methodology for standard and/or non-standard testing (subsized specimen, SPT etc.) of mechanical property changes- description of the possibilities for the ILS- cutting plans and experimental matrix- material sample preparation and transports to all partners
