Modelling plastic zones and the brittle-ductile transition

Many crystalline solids fail by cleavage at low temperatures and by plastic processes at high temperatures. In the transition region, cleavage failure occurs at stresses increasing with increasing temperature, reflecting a decrease in yield stress and a consequent increase of plasticity around the c...
