Using the method of complex analysis, the study investigates the circular orifice problem for 2k periodic radial cracks through constructing conformal mapping, and provides an analytical solution for the crack-tip stress intensity factor (SIF). From this we have simulated the circular orifice problems of cross-shaped cracks, symmetrical eight-cracks, single cracks, symmetrical double-cracks, and symmetrical four-cracks.

Radial Cracks

Abstract Cement is one of the primary barriers in a wellbore and critical to well integrity. Radial cracking is a pervasive failure mode in cement due to the temperature and pressure variation during drilling, completion, or production. This work presents a comprehensive analysis of radial cracking in cement under various loading events. The proposed model estimates the stress intensity factor and fracture surface displacement as indicators for crack propagation and opening, respectively, through a distributed dislocation technique. Three types of radial cracks, divided by their tips terminating at the casing-cement interface, inside cement, or at the cement-formation interface, are considered. Based on this model, we conduct a parametric study for radial cracking under typical loading events such as steam injection, CO2 injection, and high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) drilling. Results indicate that the crack near the casing-cement interface has an increased risk for steam injection and HPHT drilling, while all three types of radial cracks are destructive during CO2 injection. The thermal expansion coefficient of cement is a significant parameter for steam and CO2 injection wells. The fluid pressure and the cement's thickness are crucial to radial cracking under HPHT conditions. Stiffer cement could promote crack opening for steam injection but prohibit the crack deformation for CO2 injection or HPHT wells. Thicker cement would accelerate radial cracking under the three loading events. These findings are helpful in designing cement to maintain long-term integrity.

Good Agreement

Finite elements and two-dimensional photoelasticity have been used to analyze thick-walled cylinders which contain arrays of straight-fronted, longitudinal-radial cracks of unequal depth. The stress intensity factor K1 has been computed for the dominant crack and for some of the surrounding cracks. Cylinders with 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 36 and 40 cracks have been considered. Good agreement has been obtained between the experimental and the numerical results and, for cylinders with 2 or 4 cracks, with previously published predictions. The results for all of the foregoing cases are used to develop simple, approximate techniques for estimating K1 for the dominant crack, when the total number of cracks is different from those that have been considered herein. Estimates of K1 obtained by these techniques agree well with corresponding finite element results.

Radial Cracks

A simple analytical theory is proposed for estimating the number of radial cracks which will propagate in brittle materials subjected to axisymmetric transverse surface loads. First, an expression is obtained for the stress intensity factor of a traction-free star-shaped crack in an infinite elastic membrane subjected to axisymmetric transverse loads. Combining this relation with the critical stress intensity factor criterion for fracture, an implicit expression is obtained which defines the number of cracks as a function of the applied loading, initial flaw size, and fracture toughness. Based on the form of this expression, we argue that if the initial flaw size is sufficiently small compared to the length scale associated with the loading, then the number of cracks can be determined approximately in closed-form from the analysis of a traction-free star-shaped crack in a thin body subjected to uniform equibiaxial in-plane tension. In an attempt to validate the theory, comparisons are made with spherical micro-indentation experiments of silicon carbide (Wereszczak and Johanns, 2008, “Spherical Indentation of SiC,” Advances in Ceramic Armor II, Wiley, NY, Chap. 4) and good agreement is obtained for the number of radial cracks as a function of indentation load.

Deformation Response

A new destructive method for quantitative determination of the damage accumulation in the vicinity of a stress concentrator has been proposed and verified. Increase of damage degree in local area with a high level of the strain gradient was achieved through preliminary low-cycle pull-push loading of plane specimens with central open holes. The above procedure is performed for three programs at the same stress range (333.3 MPa) and different stress ratio values 0.33, – 0.66 and – 1.0, and vice versa for two programs at the same stress ratio – 0.33 and different stress range 333.3 and 233.3 MPa. This process offers a set of the objects to be considered with different degree of accumulated fatigue damages. The key point of the developed approach consists in the fact that plane specimens with open holes are tested under real operation conditions without a preliminary notching of the specimen initiating the fatigue crack growth. The measured parameters necessary for a quantitative description of the damage accumulation process were obtained by removing the local volume of the material in the form of a sequence of narrow notches at a constant level of external tensile stress. External load can be considered an amplifier enhancing a useful signal responsible for revealing the material damage. The notch is intended for assessing the level of fatigue damage, just as probe holes are used to release residual stress energy in the hole drilling method. Measurements of the deformation response caused by local removing of the material are carried out by electronic speckle-pattern interferometry at different stages of low-cycle fatigue. The transition from measured in-plane displacements to the values of the stress intensity factor (SIF) and the T-stress was carried out on the basis of the relations of linear fracture mechanics. It was shown that the normalized dependences of the stress intensity factor on the durability percentage for the first notch (constructed for four programs of cyclic loading with different parameters), reflect the effect of the stress ratio and stress range of the loading cycle on the rate of damage accumulation. The data were used to obtain the explicit form of the damage accumulation function that quantitatively describes damage accumulation process. The functions were constructed for different stress ratios and stress ranges.

New Type

The distinctions in the description of the conditions of cracking of materials are revealed. For Griffith–Irwin cracks, fracture is determined by the magnitude of the stress-intensity factor at the crack tip; in the case of the new type of cracks, fracture occurs due to an increase in the stress concentrations up to singular concentrations.
