The Master Curve approach an approved fracture mechanics test method for more than one decade
Viehrig, H.-W.
The paper gives an overview about the development of the Master Curve approach since the first version of the appropriate test standard ASTM E1921 was issued. The main focus is on the application of ASTM E1921 for the determination of fracture toughness values applied in the nuclear reactor pressure vessel integrity assessment. Test parameters influencing the reference temperature were assessed.
Keywords: fracture toughness; ductile-to-brittle transition; reactor pressure vessel steel
