Abstract
Measurements and tests are the most important source of information about the behaviour of materials. This chapter summarises the principal methods of determining elastic and inelastic properties, strength and lifetime, and fracture mechanics parameters. Emphasis is placed on the tests that are important for the components with a treated or coated surface. For this reason, the methods for evaluation of residual stresses will be explained as well. The last part of the chapter summarises the principles of statistical treatment of the experimental data.
