AbstractLow cycle fatigue life of high-strength reinforcing steel bars (ASTM A706 Grade 80), using photogrammetry by RGB methodology is evaluated. Fatigue tests are performed on specimens under constant axial displacement with total strain amplitudes ranging from 0.01 to 0.05. The experimental observations indicate that buckling of high-strength reinforcing bars results in a damaging degradation of their fatigue life performance as the slenderness ratio increases, including an early rebar failure as the total strain amplitude increases since it achieves the plastic range faster. In addition to this, the results show that the ratio of the ultimate tensile strength to yield strength satisfies the minimum of 1.25 specified in ASTM A706 for reinforcement. On the other hand, the RGB methodology indicates that the axial strains measured by photogrammetry provide more accurate data since the registered results by the traditional experimental setup do not detect second-order effects, such as slippage or lengthening of the specimens within the clamps. Moreover, the RGB filter is faster than digital image correlation (DIC) because the RGB methodology requires a fewer computational cost than DIC algorithms. The RGB methodology allows to reduce the total strain amplitude up to 45% compared to the results obtained by the traditional setup. Finally, models relating total strain amplitude with half-cycles to failure and total strain amplitude with total energy dissipated for multiple slenderness ratios (L/d of 5, 10, and 15) are obtained.

Buried pipelines may be deformed due to earthquakes and also corrode despite corrosion control measures such as protective coatings and cathodic protection. In such cases, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the corroded pipelines against earthquakes. This study developed a method to evaluate the earthquake resistance of corroded pipelines subjected to seismic ground motions. Axial cyclic loading experiments were carried out on line pipes subjected to seismic motion to clarify the cyclic deformation behavior until buckling occurs. The test pipes were machined so that each one would have a different degree of local metal loss. As the cyclic loading progressed, displacement shifted to the compression side due to the formation of a bulge. The pipe buckled after several cycles. To evaluate the earthquake resistance of different pipelines, with varying degrees of local metal loss, a finite-element analysis method was developed that simulates the cyclic deformation behavior. A combination of kinematic and isotropic hardening components was used to model the material properties. These components were obtained from small specimen tests that consisted of a monotonic tensile test and a low cycle fatigue test under a specific strain amplitude. This method enabled the successful prediction of the cyclic deformation behavior, including the number of cycles required for the buckling of pipes with varying degrees of metal loss. In addition, the effect of each dimension (depth, longitudinal length and circumferential width) of local metal loss on the cyclic buckling was studied. Furthermore, the kinematic hardening component was investigated for the different materials by the low cycle fatigue tests. The kinematic hardening components could be regarded as the same for all the materials when using this component as the material property for the finite-element analyses simulating the cyclic deformation behavior. This indicates that the cyclic deformation behavior of various line pipes can be evaluated only based on their respective tensile properties and common kinematic hardening component.

Motivated by the response of industrial piping under seismic loading conditions, the present study examines the behavior of steel process piping elbows, subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. A set of experiments is conducted on elbow specimens subjected to constant amplitude in-plane cyclic bending, resulting into failure in the low-cycle-fatigue range. The experimental results are used to develop a low-cycle-fatigue curve within the strain-based fatigue design framework. The experimental work is supported by finite element analyses, which account for geometrical and material nonlinearities. Using advanced plasticity models to describe the behavior of elbow material, the analysis focuses on localized deformations at the critical positions where cracking occurs. Finally, the relevant provisions of design codes (ASME B31.3 and EN 13480) for elbow design are discussed and assessed, with respect to the experimental and numerical findings.

An improved model based on the Chaboche constitutive model is proposed for cyclic plastic behavior of metal and low cycle fatigue of notched specimens under cyclic loading, considering the effect of strain gradient on nonlinear kinematic hardening and hysteresis behavior. The new model is imported into the user material subroutine (UMAT) of the finite element computing software ABAQUS, and the strain gradient parameters required for model calculation are obtained by calling the user element subroutine (UEL). The effectiveness of the new model is tested by the torsion test of thin copper wire. Furthermore, the calibration method of strain gradient influence parameters of constitutive model is discussed by taking the notch specimen of Q235 steel as an example. The hysteresis behavior, strain distribution and fatigue failure of notched specimens under cyclic loading were simulated and analyzed with the new model. The results prove the rationality of the new model.
