the creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (bfre) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (gfre) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. to study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (mgp) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in bfre composites. the initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

A high temperature measurement system for creep deformation based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique is described. The new system is applied to study the behaviour of a multi-pass welded joint in a high temperature tensile test and a load controlled creep test at 545°C. Spatially resolved tensile properties and time dependent creep deformation properties across a thick section typ...
