Abstract

The brittle and/or cleavage fracture behavior of 1008 carbon steel was characterized under dynamic spall loading conditions. The roles of grain size, carbide morphology, and high strain-rate plastic deformation on the spall-induced cleavage fracture were quantitatively estimated following the analysis of Linet al.
