This work deals with the fatigue behaviour of S355NL steel welded joints classically used in naval structures. The approach suggested here, in order to estimate the fatigue crack initiation life, can be split into two stages. First, stabilized stress-strain cycles are obtained in all points of the welded joint by a finite element. This paper presents a refined analysis for evaluating low-cycle fatigue crack initiation life of welded beam-to-column connections of steel frame structures. prior to fracture by using the Manson-Coffin equation and seismic inelastic response and then predicted fatigue damage life of the welded connection. Existing fatigue strain–vs.–life (e–N) data illustrate potentially significant effects of LWR coolant environments on the fatigue resistance of pressure vessel and piping steels.

This paper describes the application of “high temperature structural integrity assessment procedures" developed in the UK and Japan to creep-fatigue crack initiation in welded Type 316 features tests. The components were subjected to both fatigue and creep-fatigue loading at 630oC. The loadings are representative of. Both the experiments and calculations based on fracture mechanics suggested that the fatigue lives of the toe ground joints in this life regime were dominated by the crack propagation process. However, in the long life regime (>106 cycles), crack initiation became significant. Reasonable estimates of the crack initiation. REFERENCE Yung, J. Y. and Lawrence, F.

Many accidents are caused by fatigue in welded built-up steel structures, and so it is important to estimate the fatigue lives of such structures quantitatively for safety reasons. By assuming that fatigue cracks cannot grow without an accumulation of alternating tensile/compressional plastic strain, one of the authors identified. This work deals with the fatigue behaviour of S355NL steel welded joints classically used in naval structures. The approach suggested here, in order to estimate the fatigue crack initiation life, can be split into two stages. First, stabilized stress-strain cycles are obtained in all points of the welded joint by a finite element. Eventually a crack will reach a critical size, the crack will propagate suddenly, and the structure will fracture. The shape of the structure will significantly affect the fatigue life; square holes or sharp corners will lead to elevated local stresses where fatigue cracks can initiate. Round holes and smooth transitions or fillets will. the crack tip. Fatigue crack growth life was estimated using the Walker equation. Finally, the total fatigue life of spot welded joint was obtained from the summation of fatigue crack initiation and propagation phases. To have a confirmation, the numerical predictions of total fatigue life of spot welded joints have been compared. weld class.

The crack initiation life was estimated using cumulative damage concepts Actual weld material. This study investigates, through a quantitative analysis of weld-pore size and depth, the crack-initiation location and the effect of weld pores on the fatigue life of TA15 alloy weldments made with the GTAW process.

At the same time, manual fitting of the bracket is avoided, which can ease the application of welding.

This paper puts forward a kind of calculation method of estimating fatigue crack initiation life by considering welding residual stresses as initial stresses. The numerical method could be used to quantitatively analyze the influence of residual stresses on the cumulative fatigue damage. In order to gain the.

The I-P model predicts the total fatigue life of a weldment (Nj) by making separate estimates of the fatigue crack initiation life (Ni) and the fatigue crack propagation life (Np2) and summing them. The fatigue crack initiation life (Ni) is thought of as the life period spent in crack nucleation and the growth of small cracks through. In the case of structural weldments, the procedure for estimating fatigue life requires information concerning geometry of the object, loads and material. Detailed knowledge of stress fields in the critical regions of weldments is used to determine the fatigue life. The main theme of the research discussed in. Abstract: Welded joints are often susceptible to fatigue cracks initiation due to the highly concentrated stress at certain locations. The stress distribution of the welded structure is primarily influenced by the weld geometry that can be considered as a governing factor in calculating the fatigue life. In this paper, the recent. FEM simulations critical positions for crack initiation and failure were identified. The method of critical distance was used to analyse and estimate the fatigue life. It was shown that the failure location and fatigue limit could be predicted for both base metal and weld location.

Four stages of the life of indented specimens shown. local approaches in the fatigue assessment of the welded connections. They concluded that all local concepts in predicting the fatigue life may possibly involve an unlimited number of variants in the modelling and estimation procedure. The local concepts do not separate the fatigue life into the crack initiation and the crack. Traditionally, the fatigue assessment of welded joints, including those made of aluminium alloys, is based on the so-called. The present research seeks to understand the significance of the fatigue crack initiation, evaluated using a local strain-life approach, on the total fatigue life estimation for four types. fatigue life prognosis procedure. Both the LEFM based fatigue crack growth model and the empirical failure model are studied for fatigue life prognosis application. Prognosis results show that the prognosis procedure is able to provide good estimate of the fatigue crack growth curve of welded tubular joints in signal support. In this study, the effects of these parameters on the fatigue life of spot-weld joints have. fatigue fracture. Fatigue failure prevention then becomes the foremost design requirement for these parts. In know- ing that fatigue crack initiation is very sensitive to stress. results were used to estimate fatigue lives of spot-weld joints. Multiple and independent fatigue crack initiation sites were found along the length of the weld. These eventually coalesced and formed a dominant fatigue crack, which led to the eventual failure of the specimens. Fatigue life estimates using local notch strain and fracture mechanics approaches were obtained. Fatigue crack. Crack growth through the width of the sheet is not included in this definition. In a recent work, Sheppard and Strange made estimates of the portion of fatigue life that is spent initiating and growing a fatigue crack 0.25 mm in length in a resistance spot welded specimen of HSLA steel [7]. They used the idea of structural stress. III. CRACK INITIATION AND PROPAGATION. The fatigue life of a welded joint is calculated on basis of initiation of a crack followed by crack propagation. In the perspective of fracture mechanics, fatigue failure is a sequential process of fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Usually, initiation is a perplexing procedure that. co-influence effect of weld toe-undercut with other butt- weld geometry parameters is very significant. In particular, fatigue crack growth behavior of welded joints depends on the geometric configurations of the weld and plate thick- ness [9]. Many studies [10,11] estimated the fatigue crack propa- gation life of the weldment. The effect of crack growth on fatigue life of unstiffened and stiffened structures is considered by using the numerical method based on finite elements - extended Finite Element Method. (XFEM). ABAQUS software and Morfeo are used to display the results of the growth of cracks in welded T joint plates of FSW in all regions.

To appreciate the statistical nature of fatigue and its importance in data analysis, evaluation and use. − To estimate fatigue life under service conditions of time-dependent, variable amplitude loading. − To estimate stresses acting in notches and welds with conceptual approaches other than nominal stress. − To provide. Moreover, a special semicircular zone could be characterized around the crack initiation site, of which the stress intensity factor approximately equaled the threshold of fatigue crack propagation rate. Finally, a simplified model was proposed to estimate the fatigue life by correlating the welding defect size and applied stress. Although some data do seem to indicate an “infinite" life by extrapolation, particularly for Class 1, this is somewhat open to interpretation for Class 2 because there tends to be a substantial number of microscopic flaws (where fatigue cracks initiate) in and around welded joints.

Figure 6 shows the crack growth curves. When the stop-hole and crack arrester were not applied, the crack grew faster and the fatigue life Nf was lower than 1×105.
