Application of a new cleavage fracture framework to ferritic steels
Abstract A new Cleavage Fracture Framework (CFF) is developed, within which each model finds a rational location, allowing one to classify models and to know what each model is implicitly assuming or neglecting. This CFF is demonstrated to be a...
