The small punch test (SPT) is useful to calculate changes in the tensile and fracture properties of structural materials during the service life of the materials of plant components. This book compiles advances in the development of correlations to calculate mechanical properties of the materials using SPT data. New correlations have been developed using hybrid methodology involving analytical and experimental data. The newly developed correlations have been tested conducting case studies on SPT and pre- cracked/ notched SPT (p- SPT) specimens. The eventual applications of all the new correlations have been demonstrated by conducting a real- life case study involving degradation of structural material from ductile to semi- brittle state due to aging.
