Abstract

The introduction of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and statistical methods into transition temperature characterization of ferritic steels has led to the Master Curve concept. Data scatter, specimen size effects, and a universal transition curve behavior have been identified and explained using a weakest-link statistical concept. This paper presents the experimental evidence to support these findings. However, the modeling that worlds successfully under most practical conditions does not apply under all scenarios. These limitations are currently being explored. The use of precracked Charpy specimens to produce viable fracture-mechanics data is one of the issues addressed.
