title = "Evolution of the Charpy-V test from a quality control test to a materials evaluation tool for structural integrity assessment",
abstract = "Originally, the Charpy-V test was used mainly as a quality control test. However, after World War II, with the development of the transition temperature philosophy, the Charpy-V test evolved into a tool for material selection and toughness evaluation. With the development of fracture mechanics, further evolution of the interpretation of the Charpy-V test has made it a quantitative materials evaluation tool for fracture mechanics based structural integrity assessment. This presentation will give an outline of the evolution of the Charpy-V test, focusing on the latest developments regarding its use in structural integrity assessment.
