Fracture toughness of ferritic steel in the ductile-to-brittle transition zone is scattered and probabilistic owing to embrittlement. Use of master curve along with the reference temperature ( T0) adopted in ASTM E-1921 is widely accepted for characterization of this embrittlement. Reference temperature is a measure of embrittlement in the temperature scale. Factors affecting fracture toughness like geometry and loading rate are expected to influence the reference temperature. In the present study, the role of the loading rate on the reference temperature for 20MnMoNi55 steel is assessed experimentally using compact tension C(T) and three-point bend (TPB) specimens. Finite element simulation of tests at different loading rates and cryogenic temperature are carried out using a suitable viscoplastic material model that incorporates flow characteristics of the material for varying displacement rates and cryogenic temperatures. Results from simulation studies are compared with experimental ones.

During the sterilization process of a typical food can, the geometric non-linear and elastic-plastic state is confronted. A derived procedure of updated lagrangian incremental formulation is proposed to simulate the deformation behaviour of the food can. The process is illustrated with a real example. Some interesting results can be noted wherein.
