| Abstract: | A statistical model for cleavage fracture in notched specimens of C-Mn steel has been proposed. This model is based on a recently suggested physical model. This statistical model satisfactorily describes the distributions of the cumulative failure probability and failure probability density of 36 notched specimens fractured at various loads at test temperature of −196 °C. The minimum notch toughness has also been discussed. |
