description: Thirty-one international peer-reviewed papers Fracture Toughness--explores the effects of specimen size and geometry on constraint, which affects the ability to extract meaningful fracture toughness from small specimens. Small Size Charpy V Notch Specimens--endeavors to develop correlations between full size specimens and a wide variety of subsized specimen geometries, down to some with cross sections of 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm. Mechanical Properties--describes techniques for extracting mechanical properties from a wide range of materials, including metals and composites. Small Punch Test--describes techniques to obtain mechanical and microstructural data. Reconstitution Techniques--describes various reconstitution techniques on subsized Charpy V-Notch (CVN) specimens, including a large multi-lab European effort (RESQUE-Reconstitution Techniques Qualification and Evaluation Study).
