Crack Linkup by Stable Crack Growth
Experimentally determined T ε and CTOA resistance curves were used to simulate numerically, stable crack growth and the ensuing crack linkup in 0.8 mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum tension specimen with multiple site damage (MSD) subjected to monotonically/cyclically increasing loading. The T ε integral correctly predicted the crack growth and linkup history as well as the onset of rapid fracture in M...
متن کامل3d Analyses of Surface Flaws in Thick-walled Reactor Pressure-vessels Using Displacement-hybrid Finite Element Method *
Solutions of stress intensity factors for external and internal unpressurized and pressurized surface cracks in internally pressurized thick-walled reactor pressure vessels are determined directly by a three-dimensional displacement-hybrid finite element method. The finite element method is based on a rigorous modified variational principle of the total potential energy, with arbitrary element ...
متن کاملMultiple Surface Cracks in Pressure Vessels
Abstract-An alternating method, in conjunction with the finite element method and a solution for multiple coplanar elliptical cracks in an intinite solid, is used to determine stress intensity factors for semi-elliptical surface flaws in cylindrical pressure vessels. The solution technique for multiple cracks in an infinite body has recently been developed by the prese.nt authors which implemen...
متن کاملStable and Unstable Crack Growth in Viscoelastic Media
The problem of failure of load-bearing structures by fracture is generally important in all phases of our society. It may concern small household items as well as expensive structures of civil or space applications and accordingly may cause varying degrees of economic distress. While the state of failure is usually easily determined as either “not failed” or “completely failed,” the estimation ...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation on Stable Crack Growth in Plane Stress
Large deformation finite element analysis has been carried out to investigate the stress-strain fields ahead of a growing crack for compact tension (a/W=0.5) and three-point bend (a/W=0.1 and 0.5) specimens under plane stress condition. The crack growth is controlled by the experimental J-integral resistance curves measured by Sun et al. The results indicate that the distributions of opening st...
