Abstract The paper deals with a numerical model to investigate the influence of stress state on damage and failure in the ductile steel X5CrNi18-10. The numerical analysis is based on an anisotropic continuum damage model taking into account yield and damage criteria as well as evolution equations for plastic and damage strain rate tensors. Results of numerical simulations of biaxial experiments with the X0- and the H-specimen presented. In the experiments, formation of strain fields are monitored by digital image correlation which can be compared with numerically predicted ones to validate the numerical model. Based on the numerical analysis the strain and stress quantities in selected parts of the specimens are predicted. Analysis of damage strain variables enables prediction of fracture lines observed in the tests. Stress measures are used to explain different stress-state-dependent damage and failure mechanisms on the micro-level visualized on fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy.

Compressive Stresses

Thin cylindrical shells used in engineering applications are often susceptible to failure by elastic buckling. Most experimental and theoretical research on shell buckling relates only to simple and relatively uniform stress states, but many practical load cases involve stresses that vary significantly throughout the structure. The buckling strength of an imperfect shell under relatively uniform compressive stresses is often much lower than that under locally high stresses, so the lack of information and the need for conservatism have led standards and guides to indicate that the designer should use the buckling stress for a uniform stress state even when the peak stress is rather local. However, this concept leads to the use of much thicker walls than is necessary to resist buckling, so many knowledgeable designers use very simple ideas to produce safe but unverified designs. Unfortunately, very few scientific studies of shell buckling under locally elevated compressive stresses have ever been undertaken. The most critical case is that of the cylinder in which locally high axial compressive stresses develop extending over an area that may be comparable with the characteristic size of a buckle. This paper explores the buckling strength of an elastic cylinder in which a locally high axial membrane stress state is produced far from the boundaries (which can elevate the buckling strength further) and adjacent to a serious geometric imperfection. Care is taken to ensure that the stress state is as simple as possible, with local bending and the effects of internal pressurization eliminated. The study includes explorations of different geometries, different localizations of the loading, and different imperfection amplitudes. The results show an interesting distinction between narrower and wider zones of elevated stresses. The study is a necessary precursor to the development of a complete design rule for shell buckling strength under conditions of locally varying axial compressive stress.
