Prediction of Temperature Dependence of Fracture Toughness as a Function of Neutron Fluence for Pressure-Vessel Steels by Using the Unified Curve Method
Abstract:Using the Unified Curve method as proposed by the authors earlier and a probabilistic model based on the local approach and physical background of the influence of impurities and carbide size on the local strength of material, a method has been elaborated for predicting a variation of the temperature dependence of fracture toughness with neutron fluence. The results calculated by this method are compared to the available experimental data.Keywords: fracture toughness, Unified Curve method, Master Curve method,… Show more
