An Evaluation of the Reliability of Instrumented Charpy Test Records.

Abstract

The shortcomings of various experimental techniques associated with the production of reliable instrumented Charpy test records are examined for the case of materials which show substantial ductility prior to fracture. A simple procedure for calibration and testing which avoids these problems and has direct relevance to fracture toughness properties is discussed.
