Abstract
The first part considers the main physical and mechanical processes occurring under tension of round bars. The procedure is presented that allows one to describe the plastic strain effect on the critical brittle fracture stress in probabilistic statement. The main statements of Prometey model for prediction of fracture stress are also presented. The investigations are carried out for two materials: 2Cr–Ni–Mo–V steel used for WWER-1000 RPV in the thermally-embrittled state and low-alloyed low-strength steel of St3 grade taken as model material ruptured by cleavage up to plastic strain up to 50%.
