In cyclic loading and when plastic flow occurs, discontinuities grow. In this research, interaction diagram of Bree has been developed when the spherical pressure vessel contains discontinuities such as voids and microcracks. Bree’s diagram is used for ratcheting assessment of pressurized equipment in ASME III NH. Nature of these defects leads to an anisotropic damage. Anisotropic Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) is considered to account effects of these discontinuities on the behavior of the structure. Shakedown – ratcheting response of a hollow sphere under constant internal pressure and cyclic thermal loadings are studied by using anisotropic CDM theory coupled with nonlinear kinematic hardening of Armstrong-Frederick m’s model (A-F). Return mapping method is used to solve numerically the developed relations. Elastic, elastic shakedown, plastic shakedown and ratcheting regions are illustrated in the modified Bree’s diagram. Influence of anisotropic damage due to the plastic deformation is studied and it was shown that the plastic shakedown region is diminished because of the developed damage.

Ratcheting and fatigue damage of thin-walled tube under cyclic bending and steady internal pressure is studied. Chaboche's nonlinear kinematic hardening model extended by considering the effect of continuum damage mechanics employed to predict ratcheting. Lemaitre damage model [Lemaitre, J. and Desmorat, R. [2005] Engineering Damage Mechanics (Springer-Verlag, Berlin)] which is appropriate for low cyclic loading is used. Also the evolution features of whole-life ratcheting behavior and low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage of the tube are discussed. A simplified method related to the thin-walled tube under bending and internal pressure is used and compared well with experimental results. Bree's interaction diagram with boundaries between shakedown and ratcheting zone is determined. Whole-life ratcheting of thin-walled tube reduces obviously with increase of internal pressure.

In this paper, a fatigue model formulated in the framework of the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is presented. The model is based on an explicit definition of fatigue damage and introduces a kinematic damage differential equation formulated directly as a function of the number of cycles and the stress cycle parameters. The model is initially presented for uniaxial problems, which facilitates the identification of its constants. An extension of the fatigue model to multiaxial problems is also proposed. This model was implemented in a nonlinear finite element code in conjunction with a constitutive model for cyclic plasticity. The cyclic plasticity model considered is based on a J2-plasticity theory with nonlinear isotropic and kinematic hardenings. In order to enhance the description of the cyclic elastoplastic behavior, the superposition of several nonlinear kinematic hardening variables is suggested. Both fatigue and plasticity models are identified for the P355NL1 (TStE355) steel. Finally, the numerical model is used to predict the fatigue crack initiation for a welded nozzle-to-plate connection, made of P355NL1 steel, and results are compared with experimental fatigue data.

The goal of this work is to study the influence of continuum damage mechanics on a functionally graded rotating disk subjected to cyclic temperature gradient loading through nonlinear kinematic hardening rule employed to model the back stress. The formulations have been developed on the basis of von Mises' yield criterion. The material properties are assumed to be independent of temperature and vary according to a power law volume fraction relation but Poisson's ratio is assumed to be constant. Return mapping algorithm (RMA), an incremental method, has been used in the numerical procedure. Material behaviors such as elastic shakedown, plastic shakedown and ratcheting were specified in the existence of continuum damage mechanics to obtain the Bree's interaction diagram for different temperatures and angular velocities.

In this paper, a fatigue model formulated in the framework of the Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) is presented. The model is based on an explicit definition of fatigue damage and introduces a kinematic damage differential equation formulated, directly, as a function of the number of cycles and the stress cycle parameters. The model is initially presented for uniaxial problems, which facilitates the identification of its constants. An extension of the fatigue model to multiaxial problems is also proposed. This model was implemented in a non-linear finite element code in conjunction with a constitutive model for cyclic plasticity. The cyclic plasticity model considered is based on a J2-plasticity theory with non-linear isotropic and kinematic hardenings. In order to enhance the description of the cyclic elastoplastic behaviour, is suggested the superposition of several non-linear kinematic hardening variables. Both fatigue and plasticity models are identified for the P355NL1 (TStE355) steel. Finally, the numerical model is used to predict the fatigue crack initiation for a welded nozzle-to-plate connection, made of P355NL1 steel, and results are compared with experimental fatigue data.

Normal oral food ingestion processes such as mastication would not have been possible without the teeth. The human teeth are subjected to many cyclic loadings per day. This, in turn, exerts forces on the teeth just like an engineering material undergoing the same cyclic loading. Over a period, there will be the creation of microcracks on the teeth that might not be visible ab initio. The constant formation of these microcracks weakens the teeth structure and foundation that result in its fracture. Therefore, the need to predict the fatigue life for human teeth is essential. In this paper, a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based model is employed to evaluate the fatigue life of the human teeth. The material characteristic of the teeth is captured within the framework of the elastoplastic model. By applying the damage evolution equivalence, a mathematical formula is developed that describes the fatigue life in terms of the stress amplitude. Existing experimental data served as a guide as to the completeness of the proposed model. Results as a function of age and tubule orientation are presented. The outcomes produced by the current study have substantial agreement with the experimental results when plotted on the same axes. There is a notable difference in the number of cycles to failure as the tubule orientation increases. It is also revealed that the developed model could forecast for any tubule orientation and be adopted for both young and old teeth.

Additively manufactured parts often comprise internal porosities due to the manufacturing process, which needs to be considered in modelling their mechanical behaviour. It was experimentally shown that additively manufactured parts’ tensile and compressive mechanical properties are different for various metallic alloys. In this study, isotropic continuum damage mechanics is used to model additively manufactured alloys’ tension and compression behaviours. Compressive stress components can shrink discontinuities present in additively manufactured alloys. Therefore, the crack closure effect was employed to describe different behaviours during uniaxial tension and compression tests. A finite element model embedded in an ABAQUS’s UMAT format was developed to account for the isotropic continuum damage mechanics model. The numerical results of tension and compression tests were compared with experimental observations for additively manufactured maraging steel, AlSi10Mg and Ti-6Al-4V. Stress–strain curves in tension and compression of these alloys were obtained using the continuum damage mechanics model and compared well with the experimental results.
