The dynamic yield stress for Charpy v-notch specimens of ferritic steels can be estimated from the following equation:

dynamic yield stress = 2.99PGYW/Bb2

where W=B=10 mm for full-size Charpy v-notch specimen and b0 is the initial ligament depth and PGY is the general yield load.

how can we calculate general yield load to calculate dynamic yield stress?
