Damage Summation

In this work a method to simulate failure due to creep is proposed using finite element damage analysis. The creep damage model is based on the creep ductility exhaustion concept. Incremental damage is defined by the ratio of incremental inelastic (plastic & creep) strain and multi-axial ductility. A simple linear damage summation rule is applied. When accumulated damage becomes unity, element stresses are reduced to almost zero to simulate progressive crack growth. The model is validated through comparison with experimental data on various sized compact tension, C(T), specimens of 316H stainless steel at 550 °C. The influence of the inelastic strain rate on the uniaxial ductility is considered. Good agreement is found between the simulated results and the experimental data.

Creep Damage Model

The experimental results show that the creep properties of the rocks are affected by the initial damage, and the damage evolution also has a significant impact on the time-dependent properties of the rocks during the creep. However, the effects of the initial damage and the damage evolution are seldom considered in the current study of the rocks' creep models. In this paper, a new nonlinear creep damage model is proposed based on the multistage creep test results of the sandstones with different damage degrees. The new nonlinear creep damage model is improved based on the Nishihara model. The influences of the initial damage and the damage evolution on the components in the Nishihara model are considered. The creep damage model can not only describe the changes in three creep stages, namely, the primary creep, the secondary creep, and the tertiary creep, but also reflect the influence of the initial damage and the damage evolution on creep failure. The nonlinear least squares method is used to determine the parameters in the nonlinear creep damage model. The consistency between the experimental data and the predicted results indicates the applicability of the nonlinear damage model to accurately predict the creep deformation of the rocks with initial damage.

Damage Prediction

A preliminary sensitivity examination of the ductility exhaustion based creep damage prediction model, currently used in the R5 high temperature assessment procedure, showed that material property inputs had significant effects on damage prediction. In the present work, the link between the microstructural factors and the susceptibility to inter-granular high temperature creep failure is considered. The latter was judged to be associated with the low creep ductility. Here, the longitudinal section of a creep specimen and the fracture surface were examined. Auger electron spectroscopy was used to investigate the grain boundary composition in this specimen, which failed after a creep test of 1038h at 550°C under a triaxial stress state. The present results demonstrate that there is a possibility to correlate the susceptibility to high temperature inter-granular fracture from the low temperature fracture investigations. Finally, the susceptibility of the pre-treated 316H stainless steel to inter-granular high temperature failure and the contribution to the creep damage model are briefly discussed.

Creep Crack

This paper introduce theoretical creep crack growth prediction model and provides experimental validation of the approach for simulating creep crack growth using finite element analysis method, recently proposed by the authors. The FE creep damage model is based on the creep ductility exhaustion concept, and incremental damage is defined by the ratio of incremental creep strain and multi-axial creep ductility. A simple linear damage summation rule is applied. When accumulated damage becomes unity, element stresses are reduced to zero to simulate progressive crack growth. For validation, simulated results are compared with experimental data for a compact tension specimen of modified 9Cr-1Mo at 600°C under various loading levels. The simulated results agree well with experimental C*-da/dt data. The test data are also compared with theoretical CCG prediction model.

Creep Damage Model

Reheat cracking in the heat affected zones (HAZ) of Type 316H welds has been observed in the UK’s Advanced Gas cooled Reactors after 15–50k hours service at 490 to 520°C. These cracks are caused by creep damage from the relaxation of a triaxial residual stress. To validate a model for multiaxial creep damage under triaxial states of stress, notch bar specimens have been tested under displacement control. The test programme included the effects of different notch geometries, test temperatures (475 to 550°C) and both Type 316H parent and HAZ materials. Finite element analysis was used to develop a simplified method to calculate creep damage in the test specimens and this simplified method was then used to analyse the results of the notched bar stress relaxation tests. It was found that the multiaxial creep damage model gave a good prediction of failure in the tests particularly for the levels of triaxiality relevant to welds and at temperatures relevant to service.

Creep Damage Model

The use of salt rock for underground radioactive waste disposal facilities requires a comprehensive analysis of the creep-damage process in salt rock. A computer-controlled creep setup was employed to carry out a creep test of salt rock that lasted as long as 359 days under a constant uniaxial stress. The acoustic emission (AE) space-time evolution and energy-releasing characteristics during the creep test were studied in the meantime. A new creep-damage model is proposed on the basis of a fractional derivative by combining the AE statistical regularity. It indicates that the AE data in the non-decay creep process of salt rock can be divided into three stages. Furthermore, the authors propose a new creep-damage model of salt rock based on a fractional derivative. The parameters in the model were determined by the Quasi-Newton method. The fitting analysis suggests that the new creep-damage model provides a precise description of full creep regions in salt rock.

Actual Stress

In the creep tests, stress is no longer a constant and increases gradually under the influence of damage occurring during accelerating creep, which is a slow-loading process rather than a conventional creep. With the accumulation of the damage over time, the actual stress increases greatly. The increased actual stress not only generates loading strain but also causes the steady creep rate to rise. This coupling possibly explains why salt rock presents nonlinear accelerating characteristics at the accelerating creep stage. In this work, the constraint of the present creep concept was overcome by assuming that the acceleration creep phase is a coupling process of loading and creeping. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the total strain in this phase is equal to the sum of loading strain and creeping strain. A new nonlinear constitutive equation for creep was then derived, and the mechanisms underlying the nonlinear accelerating characteristics emerging at the stage of accelerating creep are further explained. A step-loading experiment on salt rock was performed for a period of six months. The characteristics of accelerating creep appeared in the last step of loading. This new nonlinear creep damage constitutive model was used to fit and analyze the test data. Obtained results show that this model fits well to these test data and also favorably represents the nonlinear characteristics of accelerating creep, thus supporting the model’s validity.
