2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the determination of thermome-chanical fatigue(TMF)properties of materials under uniaxiallyloaded strain-controlled conditions
3、.A“thermomechanical”fatigue cycle is here defined as a condition where uniformtemperature and strain fields over the specimen gage sectionare simultaneously varied and independently controlled.Thispractice is intended to address TMF testing performed insupport of such activities as materials researc
4、h anddevelopment,mechanical design,process and quality control,product performance,and failure analysis.While this practiceis specific to strain-controlled testing,many sections willprovide useful information for force-controlled or stress-controlled TMF testing.1.2 This practice allows for any maxi
5、mum and minimumvalues of temperature and mechanical strain,and temperature-mechanical strain phasing,with the restriction being that suchparameters remain cyclically constant throughout the durationof the test.No restrictions are placed on environmental factorssuch as pressure,humidity,environmental
6、 medium,and others,provided that they are controlled throughout the test,do notcause loss of or change in specimen dimensions in time,andare detailed in the data report.1.3 The use of this practice is limited to specimens and doesnot cover testing of full-scale components,structures,orconsumer produ
