In this study, a method to predict J-R curve of SUS316 material using FE damage analysis is proposed. As experimental data, tensile and fracture toughness test results of cold worked SUS316 are used. The damage model used in this study is multi-axial fracture strain model and the model is determined by simulating the tensile and fracture toughness test according to the procedure in R6 code [1]. A pre-strain constant is newly introduced to consider pre-strain damage caused by the pre-strain, and the damage for various degrees of pre-strain are calculated. As a result, the predicted J-R curves using FE damage model show good agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract In this study, the finite element (FE) damage analysis based on the multi-axial fracture strain model was applied to investigate the effect of the material ductility on fracture resistance of notched defect. (The fracture toughness is used only for a cracked specimen and the fracture resistance is used for notched specimens throughout the paper.) To obtain the material property with different ductility, the tensile and fracture toughness tests of the cold-worked SUS316 were used. The damage model was determined from comparing the experimental data with simulated FE analysis results. Then the FE analysis was applied to calculate the fracture resistance according to the notch radius in each material. It shows that the slope of initiation resistance according to the notch radius was related to the material ductility. To quantify this effect of ductility, the relationship between notch fracture resistance and material tensile properties was confirmed.

In this study, a method to predict fracture toughness of aged cast austenitic stainless steels (CASSs) using small punch (SP) test and finite element (FE) analysis is proposed. Grade CF8M is considered and thermally aged up to 5,000 hours at 400°C. SP tests and fracture toughness test using compact tension (C(T)) specimen are conducted with virgin (unaged) and aged CF8M. FE analyses performed in this study use ductile fracture simulation technique with ‘the multi-axial fracture strain model’. The multi-axial fracture strain model for each aged CF8M are determined from SP test data and FE analyses. Fracture toughness of aged CF8M are predicted by conducting fracture toughness test simulations using FE damage analyses. Predicted fracture toughness results are compared with C(T) data to validate the method suggested in this study. The predicted initiation toughness values are predicted well and fracture toughness values are slightly conservative compared to test data.

This article presents an energy-based method to simulate ductile tearing under dynamic loading conditions. The strain rate–dependent material properties are characterized by the Johnson–Cook-type model. The damage model is defined based on the multi-axial fracture strain energy concept. The proposed damage model is applied to simulate the fracture toughness test of SA508 Gr. 1a under four different test speeds. Simulated results show a good overall agreement with the experimental results.

The wedge splitting test specimens with three series of different relative crack length were used to study the influences of relative crack length on the fracture toughness of common concrete. The suitable formulation for fracture toughness of concrete with different relative crack length was gotten on comparing between fracture toughness test results and computation results of the model developed from Hu formula.
