Brunner TC11: High Temperature Mechanical Testing TC11: High Temperature Mechanical Testing Committee (HTMTC) Status and activities since 2022 Chairpersons: Dr Hellmuth Klingelhöffer and Dr Pete Barnard Secretary: Dr Malcolm Loveday Objectives of TC11 The HTMTC aims to improve the techniques and procedures used for the high temperature testing of materials, and to disseminate this information to the materials community as a whole. It achieves these aims by: - Providing a Forum for Discussion; - Organizing Conferences and Laboratory Visits; - Publishing Conference Proceedings and Codes of Practice; - Initiating Research Activities. Meeting held The 84th HTMTC AGM meeting was held at the Kimpton Hotel in Edinburgh and by using Teams at 24th of May 2023 following the close of the Technical Sessions ECCC2023 Creep & Fracture Conference. The agenda covered administrative matters, i.e. accounts, election of members and officers, scheduling next meeting and planning of future activities. Malcolm Loveday stood down
