Abstract

The aim of this work is to develop and test a new method for identification of material properties of the steel. This work deals with application of the small punch test for evaluation of material degradation of power station in the ČEZ company (main Czech energetic company) within the project TE01020068 “Centre of research and experimental development of reliable energy production, work package 8: Research and development of new testing methods for evaluation of material properties”. The main effort is here an improvement of empirical correlation of selected steel materials used in power industry for manufacturing of the critical components (rotors, steam-pipes, etc.). The effort here is on the utilization of the finite element method (FEM) and the neural network (NN) for evaluation of mechanical properties (Young modulus of elasticity, yield stress, tensile strength) of the selected material, based on SPT results only.
