Aging Knowledge

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has been observed at some piping joints made by Austenitic stainless steel in BWR plants. In JAEA, we have been developing probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis methods for aged piping based on latest aging knowledge and an analytical code, PASCAL-SP. PASCAL-SP evaluates the failure probability of piping at aged welded joints under SCC by a Monte Carlo method. We proposes a simplified probabilistic model which can be applied to the failure probability analysis based on PFM for welded joint of piping considering the uncertainty of welding residual stress. And the probabilistic evaluation model is introduced to PASCAL-SP. A parametric PFM analysis concerning uncertainties of residual stress distribution using PASCAL-SP was performed. The PFM analysis showed that the uncertainties of residual stress distribution largely influenced break probability. The break probability increased with increasing the uncertainties of residual stress.

Peak Value

This paper used ANSYS finite element software to simulate the residual stress of the welded monosymmetric I-section and obtain residual stress distribution curves, analyzed the influence of flange width ratio on welding residual stress peak value and the stress distribution. The studies have shown that: with the flange width ratio decrease gradually, peak value of residual stress in flange and web is to increase; peak value of residual tensile stresses in both flange and web close to the steel yield strength fy, peak value of residual compressive stresses is 0.4fy in wide flange and the web near wide flange and in narrow flange and web near narrow flange is 0.3fy; the distribution of the residual tensile stress in the flange and web have growth trend.
