Dealing with the Fracture Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Zone of Ferritic Steels Containing Notches: On the Applicability of the Master Curve

Characterizing the fracture resistance of ferritic steels operating within their Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Zone (DBTZ) has been successfully addressed through the development of the well-known Master Curve (MC). This tool assumes that fracture, in the presence of crack-like defects, is controlle...
