Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME), StatoilHydro and DNV established a common project to investigate the reason for the difference between calculated fatigue lives and the in-service experience and to assess the fatigue capacity of stiffener web connections subjected mainly to web frame shear stresses. The main objective of the work was to establish fatigue test data and perform numerical analysis of collar plate connections in order to provide improved confidence in analysis methodology for fatigue life assessment. Large scale fatigue tests of different types of connections were carried out to obtain fatigue test data of collar plate connections. Finite element analyses were carried out for comparison with fatigue test data and with measured stresses on the test model. Based on this work recommendations on fatigue design analysis of connections between stiffeners and web frames have been derived. The background for this is presented in this paper.

Very High

A program has recently concluded that generated fatigue test data for the influence of a rotorcraft main rotor blade root bending spectrum (Helix) on the crack nucleation mechanisms in 7075-T651 aluminum. High-frequency tests were performed that generated spectrum fatigue failures out to nearly 109 cycles. Fractographic examination showed a distinct change in crack nucleation from slip initiated to inclusion-initiated cracking as the spectrum peak stress level was increased. Spectrum life predictions were made using three different baseline constant-amplitude S-N curves, one using a traditional rotorcraft original equipment manufacturer fitting methodology, one using the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) portion of a strainlife curve, and one that was fitted to S-N data with test lives out to 3×108 cycles. The spectrum life prediction using the S-N curve that properly modeled material behavior in the very high cycle fatigue regime provided a good correlation to the spectrum fatigue test data. Predictions using the other S-N curves were highly conservative.

The paper distinguishes between FSRFs that are used for two different purposes. One is to serve as a guideline for an initial estimate of the fatigue strength of a welded joint. That is the purpose of the FSRFs that are given in the ASME B&PV Code and various accompanying documents. If that estimate renders the fatigue strength inadequate, an FSRF can be sought that is limited to the joint under consideration. The paper shows how such FSRFs can be determined from fatigue test data. In order to make it possible to read the allowable cycles from the same design fatigue curve as that used for the FSRFs of the guidelines, a Langer curve [defined by equation (2) in the paper] is used to curve fit the data. The appropriate FSRF is obtained by minimizing the standard deviation between this curve and the data. The procedure is illustrated for girth butt-welded pipes. The illustration shows that for the data used in the analysis, a constant FSRF is applicable to less than one million cycles but not to the high-cycle regime.
