Cold resistance of steels in static loading in conditions with high plastic strains

The authors propose and construct dependences of the cracking resistance characteristics (K_c^*/_B)² and (K_c^*/S_K)² on test temperature which can be used to determine critical temperatures in conditions with high plastic strains. Equations are derived for calculating the cold resistance of both laboratory specimens and components without time-consuming tests.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 1, pp. 21–25, January, 1990.
