Abstract
In the final evaluation for the application of the Master Curve in the IAEA Coordinated Research Project Phase 5 (CRP-5), one of the areas which was identified as needing further work concerned the effects of loading rate on the reference temperature To up to impact loading conditions. This subject represents one of the three topic areas within the current CRP-8.
The effect of loading rate can be broken down into two distinct aspects: 1) the effect of loading rate on the Master Curve To values for loading rates within the specified in ASTM E1921-05 for quasi-static loading (0.1 – 2 MPaVm/s); 2) the effect of loading rate on To values for higher loading rates, including impact conditions using instrumented precracked Charpy (PCC) specimens. The new CRP includes both aspects, but primarily focuses on the second element of loading rate effects, i.e. loading rates above 2 MPaVm/s. These issues are investigated within the topic area #2 of CRP-8 (Loading Rate Effect).
