Buried pipelines may be deformed due to earthquakes and also corrode despite corrosion control measures such as protective coatings and cathodic protection. In such cases, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the corroded pipelines against earthquakes. This study developed a method to evaluate the earthquake resistance of corroded pipelines subjected to seismic ground motions. Axial cyclic loading experiments were carried out on line pipes subjected to seismic motion to clarify the cyclic deformation behavior until buckling occurs. The test pipes were machined so that each one would have a different degree of local metal loss. As the cyclic loading progressed, displacement shifted to the compression side due to the formation of a bulge. The pipe buckled after several cycles. To evaluate the earthquake resistance of different pipelines, with varying degrees of local metal loss, a finite-element analysis method was developed that simulates the cyclic deformation behavior. A combination of kinematic and isotropic hardening components was used to model the material properties. These components were obtained from small specimen tests that consisted of a monotonic tensile test and a low cycle fatigue test under a specific strain amplitude. This method enabled the successful prediction of the cyclic deformation behavior, including the number of cycles required for the buckling of pipes with varying degrees of metal loss. In addition, the effect of each dimension (depth, longitudinal length and circumferential width) of local metal loss on the cyclic buckling was studied. Furthermore, the kinematic hardening component was investigated for the different materials by the low cycle fatigue tests. The kinematic hardening components could be regarded as the same for all the materials when using this component as the material property for the finite-element analyses simulating the cyclic deformation behavior. This indicates that the cyclic deformation behavior of various line pipes can be evaluated only based on their respective tensile properties and common kinematic hardening component.

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, used in a wide variety of applications as structural components are subjected to cyclic loading during their service lives. Understanding the cyclic deformation behavior of HSLA steels is of importance, since it affects the fatigue life of components. This paper combines experiments with finite element based simulations to develop a crystal plasticity model for prediction of the cyclic deformation behavior of HSLA-50 steels. The experiments involve orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) for microstructural characterization and mechanical testing under uniaxial and stress–strain controlled cyclic loading. The computational models incorporate crystallographic orientation distributions from the OIM data. The crystal plasticity model for bcc materials uses a thermally activated energy theory for plastic flow, self and latent hardening, kinematic hardening, as well as yield point phenomena. Material parameters are calibrated from experiments using a genetic algorithm based minimization process. The computational model is validated with experiments on stress and strain controlled cyclic loading. The effect of grain orientation distributions and overall loading conditions on the evolution of microstructural stresses and strains are investigated.

The cyclic deformation behavior of 6061Al-T6 alloy was studied by uniaxial cyclic straining or stressing tests at room and high temperatures. The cyclic softening/hardening feature of the material and its effect on the uniaxial ratcheting occurred under asymmetrical cyclic stressing were discussed. The cyclic deformation behaviors of the material presented at various loading rates and with certain peak and/or valley strain or stress holds were addressed. It is concluded from the experimental results that 6061Al-T6 alloy presents slightly cyclic softening feature, and its cyclic deformation is time-dependent even at room temperature. The ratcheting strain produced at lower stressing rate and with longer hold-time is apparently larger than that at higher stressing rate and with fewer hold-time. Some significant conclusions useful to construct the constitutive model to describe such cyclic deformation behaviors are obtained.

Cycle Loading

In comparison with the state-of-the-art Ni-based superalloys, refractory multiprincipal element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit considerably higher strengths at temperatures above 1600[Formula: see text]C, which can be a significant potential required in the high demand for aerospace applications. However, the atomic-scale work-hardening behavior of such important materials during low-cycle loading remain unknown. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the low-cycle fatigue of nanocrystalline refractory multiprincipal element alloy with different grain sizes, to reveal the cyclic deformation, work hardening and damage mechanism. As a result, an extensive grain growth is observed during the cyclic deformation, thus driving the dynamic Hall–Petch strengthening mechanism. For the model with large grain size, the glide of partial dislocations with screw structure can be responsible for the deformation behavior under cyclic loading, and at small grain size the grain growth-coordinated deformation twinning can control the plastic process. The deformation twin boundaries generated during the cyclic loading show high stability, while the remaining high-angle grain boundaries are highly unstable. The initial softening followed by hardening depends upon the dislocation density and grain size. In particular, atomic-scale element segregation occurs after cyclic loading. This study gives a cyclic deformation micromechanism, and thus accelerates the design and development of superior fatigue-resistant refractory multiprincipal element alloy over a wide temperature range.

In the present paper, the relation between fatigue crack growth threshold and material’s cyclic saturation behavior is investigated. The dislocation-free zone (DFZ) model is used to determine the dislocation distribution ahead of the crack tip. A cohesive zone model is developed to determine the stress field of the DFZ under cyclic loading. The effect of cyclic loading makes the plastic zone hardening (or softening), which raises the stress level in DFZ, and may lead to fracture. It is found that the near threshold characteristics are mostly determined by the cyclic deformation behavior of the material, and might be theoretically determinable from the standard cyclic loading test.

Buried Pipelines

Buried pipelines may be corroded, despite the use of corrosion control measures such as protective coatings and cathodic protection, and buried pipelines may be deformed due to earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the integrity of such corroded pipelines against earthquakes. This study has developed a method to evaluate earthquake resistance of corroded pipelines subjected to seismic motions. Pipes were subjected to artificial local metal loss and axial cyclic loading tests to clarify their cyclic deformation behavior until buckling occurred under seismic motion. As the cyclic loading progressed, displacement shifted to the compression side due to the formation of a bulge. The pipe buckled after several cycles. To evaluate the earthquake resistance of different pipelines with varying degrees of local metal loss, a finite-element analysis method was developed that simulates cyclic deformation behavior. A combination of kinematic and isotropic hardening was used to model the material properties. The associated material parameters were obtained by small specimen tests that consisted of a monotonic tensile test and a low-cycle fatigue test under a specific strain amplitude. This method enabled the successful prediction of cyclic deformation behavior, including the number of cycles required for the buckling of pipes with varying degrees of metal loss.
