Ws. Lei et al., DUCTILE BRITTLE TRANSITION CONDITION IN CHARPY V-NOTCH IMPACT TEST INSTRUCTURAL-STEEL/, Engineering fracture mechanics, 46(4), 1993, pp. 601-605
Instrumented impact tests of standard Charpy V-notch specimens of stru
ctural steel were carried out over a temperature range from 223 to 353
K. The results show that as in slow notch-bend, the cleavage-characte
ristic stress S(co) also plays a controlling role in the critical cond
ition for the ductile/brittle transition in the Charpy V-notch impact
test in structural steel.
