Ductile Crack Growth

Abstract The aim of this study is to propose the damage model on the basis of the mechanism for ductile fracture related to void growth and applicable to ductile fracture assessment for steels. In order to determine damage evolution law, void growth behavior in the material was investigated by elasto-plastic finite element analyses using unit cell model with an initial void. From the results of the unit cell analyses, it was evident that a void in unit cell grew nonlinearly with increasing applied macroscopic strain. Moreover, the relationships between normalized void volume fraction and normalized strain by each critical value corresponding to crack initiation were independent of stress-strain relationship of material and stress triaxiality state. Based on this characteristic associated with void growth, damage evolution law representing nonlinear damage accumulation was derived. Then, using the damage evolution law, ductile damage model reflecting void growth behavior and ductility of material was proposed. For validation and application of the proposed damage model, ductile crack growth tests using bend specimens with a machined notch or a fatigue pre-crack were conducted for low carbon steel. The proposed damage model was implemented in finite element analyses and ductile crack growth simulations were performed for each bending test. Then, it was shown that the proposed model could accurately predict ductile crack growth resistance from machined notch root and fatigue pre-crack tip (R-curves) and the validity and applicability of proposed damage model to cracked components could be confirmed.

Ductile Crack Growth

Abstract The aim of this study is to propose damage model on the basis of the mechanism for ductile fracture related to void growth and to confirm the applicability of the proposed model to ductile crack growth simulation for steel. To figure out void growth behavior, elasto-plastic finite element analyses using unit cell model with an initial void were methodically performed. From the results of those analyses, it was evident that the relationships between normalized void volume fraction and normalized strain by each critical value corresponding to crack initiation were independent of stress-strain relationship of material and stress triaxiality state. Based on this characteristic associated with void growth, damage evolution law was derived. Then, using the damage evolution law, simple and phenomenological ductile damage model reflecting void growth behavior and ductility of material was proposed. To confirm the validation and application of proposed damage model, the damage model was implemented in finite element models and ductile crack growth resistance was simulated for cracked components were performed. Then, the simulated results were compared with experimental ones and it was found that the proposed damage model could accurately predict ductile crack growth resistance and was applicable to ductile crack growth simulation.

This paper presents experimental and analytical results focusing on the strain limit of X80 linepipe. Ductile crack growth behavior from a girth weld notch is simulated by FE analysis based on a proposed damage model and is compared with the experimental results. The simulation model for ductile crack growth accompanied by penetration through the wall thickness consists of two criteria. One is a criterion for ductile crack initiation from the notch-tip, which is described by the plastic strain at the notch tip, because the onset of ductile cracking can be expressed by constant plastic strain independent of the shape and size of the components and the loading mode. The other is a damage-based criterion for simulating ductile crack extension associated with damage evolution influenced by plastic strain in accordance with the stress triaxiality ahead of the extending crack tip. The proposed simulation model is applicable to prediction of ductile crack growth behaviors from a circumferentially-notched girth welded pipe with high internal pressure, which is subjected to tensile loading or bending (post-buckling) deformation.

Welding residual stress is one of the main concerns in the process of fabrication and operation because of failures in welded steel joints due to its potential effect on structural integrity. This work focuses on the effect of welding residual stress on the ductile crack growth behavior in AISI 316LN welded CT specimens. Two-dimensional plane strain model has been used to simulate the CT specimen. X-ray diffraction technique is used to obtain residual stress value at the SS 316LN weld joint. The GTN model has been employed to estimate the ductile crack growth behavior in the CT-specimen. Results show that residual stresses influence the ductile crack growth behavior. The effect of residual stress has also been investigated for cases with different initial void volume fraction, crack lengths.

Abstract Fitness for service rules and a calculation method for ductile crack growth under large scale plastic cyclic loading have not been established even for Mode I. In a paper presented at the PVP2018 conference the authors presented methods to establish how to determine the parameters of the combined hardening plasticity rule and applied it to simulate the ductile crack growth behavior of 1TCT specimens of the different load levels. Also, ΔJ calculations using the reference stress method, and a ΔJ-basis fatigue crack growth rate derived from that on ΔK-basis according to JSME rules for FFS were applied to estimate the crack growth under cyclic loading in excess of yield. Since in the 2018 paper identified some gaps were found between experiments and the predicted crack growth behavior, several equations of the reference stress method are evaluated in the present paper. Additionally, the prediction procedure using the ΔJ calculation by the reference stress method and the da/dN−ΔJ curve based on the JSME rules for FFS are applied to pipe fracture tests under cyclic loading. Their applicability is discussed for the case of an example piping system.

This study pays attention to reveal the material properties that control resistance curve for ductile crack growth (CTOD-R curve) on the basis of the mechanism for ductile crack growth, so that the R-curve could be numerically predicted only from those properties. The crack growth tests using 3-point bend specimens with fatigue pre-crack were conducted for two steels that have different ductile crack growth resistance with almost the same CTOD level for crack initiation, whereas both steels have the same “Mechanical properties” in terms of strength and work hardenability. The observation of crack growth behaviors provided that different mechanisms between ductile crack initiations from fatigue pre-crack and subsequent growth process could be applied. It was found that two “Mechanical properties” associated with ductile damage of steel could mainly influence CTOD-R curve; one is a resistance of ductile crack initiation estimated with critical local strain for ductile cracking from the surface of notched specimen, and the other one is a dependence of stress triaxiality on ductility obtained with circumferentially notched round-bar specimens. The damage model for numerically simulating the R-curve was proposed taking the two “ductile properties” into account, where ductile crack initiation from crack-tip was in accordance with critical local strain based criterion, and subsequent crack growth GTN (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman) based triaxiality dependent damage criterion. The proposed model accurately predicted the measured R-curve for the two steels used with the same “strength properties” through ductile crack initiation to growth.
