An Enhanced Method to Evaluate Tensile Yield Stress by Small Punch Tests Using Deflection Curves

While force–displacement curves are often preferred in Small Punch (SP) tests due to the ease of the experimental set-up, they encompass significant uncertainties arising from frame compliance. In this work, a methodology is presented to predict yield stresses from the force vs. deflection curves. T...
