Computational modeling of the small punch test using FEM

Abstract

This work uses the material characterization technique known in the bibliography as the “Small Punch Test” (SPT), considered non-destructive and low-cost, due to the fact that, for its application, small samples of material are used, compared with others. sizes of samples used in other trials, both the technique and the computational model are presented together due to their interrelationship. The simulation results are highly correlated with the published ones. After the point and calibration of the model, optimized results of the characterization of the API 5L-X70 steel used in gas pipelines are presented, the main objective of this work.
