摘要: Abstract This paper presents a method for the identification of hardening parameters and W eibull -parameters in brittle brittle–ductile transition region. A small-punch-test device is developed hot cells, where miniaturised disk-like specimen manufactured deformed by spherical punch until failure. Its load–displacement-curve analysed regarding its information about material behaviour. Using neural networks, an routine developed, which avoids time-consuming calculations with FEM during optimisation algorithm. Identified properties are compared data from tensile tests. identified parameters, calculated temperatures at cleavage fracture occurs.
