What Does DBTS Stand For?

DBTS stands for Ductile To Brittle Transition Strain

DBTS, or Ductile To Brittle Transition Strain, refers to the critical strain level at which a material transitions from displaying ductile behavior, characterized by significant plastic deformation, to brittle behavior, where the material fractures with little to no deformation. This transition is crucial in understanding the performance and reliability of materials under varying temperature and loading conditions, particularly in structural applications and failure analysis.
