XFA3D Toolkit for Fatigue Damage Assessment of Welded Aluminum Structures under Variable Amplitude Loading
This paper presents an overview of our recent enhanced 3D extended finite element toolkit for Abaqus (XFA3D) for fatigue damage assessment of welded aluminum structures under block loading. To alleviate the computational burden associated with the insertion and propagation of arbitrary cracks in the presence of a welding induced residual stress field, a nodal enriched displacement field coupled...
متن کاملStrip yield modelling of fatigue crack under variable amplitude loading
The results from ‘strip yield’ approach of the FASTRAN type models of plasticity induced crack closure effects of fatigue cracks subjected to variable amplitude loadings are presented. The strip yield results are compared with authors’ finite element (FE) and experimental results. It has been observed that the strip yield model is seen to be fundamentally limited by choice of α (constraint fact...
متن کاملStochastic fatigue damage modeling under variable amplitude loading
A general methodology for stochastic fatigue life prediction under variable amplitude loading is proposed in this paper. The methodology combines a nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation rule and a stochastic S–N curve representation technique to achieve this objective. The nonlinear damage accumulation rule proposed in this paper improves the deficiencies inherent in the linear damage accumulat...
متن کاملPrediction of Crack Growth under Variable-Amplitude Loading in Thin-Sheet 2024-T3 Aluminum Alloys
The present paper is concerned with the application of a “plasticity-induced” crack closure model to study fatigue crack growth under various load histories. The model was based on the Dugdale model but modified to leave plastically deformed material in the wake of the advancing crack. The model was used to correlate crack growth rates under constant-amplitude loading and then used to predict c...
متن کاملAnalyses of Fatigue and Fatigue-crack Growth under Constant- and Variable-amplitude Loading
Studies on the growth of small cracks have led to the observation that fatigue life of many engineering materials is primarily “crack growth” from micro-structural features, such as inclusion particles, voids, slip-bands or from manufacturing defects. This paper reviews the capabilities of a plasticity-induced crack-closure model to predict fatigue lives of metallic materials using “small-crack...
