Online News-ASTM International Announces Publication of Master Curve Method Manual
The manual introduces the concept of the master curve method so it can be understood and used by engineers who have had limited exposure to elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and/or advanced statistical methods. In addition, the work addresses the practical design-related problem of defining the ductile-to-brittle fracture transition temperature of structural steels directly in terms of fracture mechanics data.
