Fracture in heat affected zone (HAZ) in welding has been a serious problem for the integrity of machines. Prediction of fracture behavior due to the residual stress field in HAZ is important. In this paper, S-Version FEM(S-FEM) is applied to simulate the crack growth under thermal and residual stress fields. For evaluation of stress intensity factor, virtual crack closure integral method (VCCM) is employed. In order to confirm the validity of this analysis, numerical results are compared with previously-reported analytical and experimental results. Then, crack growth analysis in piping structure with welding joint was conducted. The residual stress data was provided by JAEA, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, based on their numerical simulation. Using S-FEM, two- and three-dimensional analyses are conducted, and crack growth behavior under thermal stress field is studied and discussed.

This paper presents an investigation into the effects of an initial residual stress field on fracture parameters, calculated via an energy-type integral method, in two and three-dimensional simulations. A residual stress field was introduced into a modified single edge notched bend, SEN(B), specimen using an in-plane compression procedure, such that a crack introduced into the specimen experienced opening displacement, even in the absence of external loading. J integral calculation was undertaken using standard two-dimensional area formulations and pointwise three-dimensional formulations, as well as using modified two- and three-dimensional routines developed to provide path independence in the presence of initial strain fields and non-monotonic plastic loading. The paper will describe the application of these modified J-integral techniques and use the results to re-interpret experimental fracture test data obtained from a set of A533B ferritic steel SEN(B) specimens. The implications for structural integrity assessments in the presence of residual stress fields, as well as the calculation route chosen for determination of fracture parameters, were explored in the context of the R6 assessment procedure. In particular, the different levels of conservatism in the assessments resulting from two- and three-dimensional simulations will be highlighted.

In order to maximize the performance of modern gun barrels in terms of strength-to-weight ratio and total fatigue life, favorable compressive residual stresses are introduced to the inner portion of the barrel, commonly by the autofrettage process. There are two major autofrettage processes for overstraining the tube: the hydrostatic and the swage. There are several theoretical solutions for hydrostatic autofrettage based on Lamé’s solution and the von Mises or Tresca yield criteria. The residual stress field due to hydraulic autofrettage is treated as an axisymmetric two-dimensional problem solved in terms of the radial displacement solely. Once the Bauschinger effect was included in these models they yield very realistic results. Unlike in the case of hydraulic autofrettage, swage autofrettage needs to be modeled by a three-dimensional model. The present analysis suggests a new 3-D axisymmetric model for solving the residual stress field due to swage autofrettage in terms of both the radial and the axial displacements. The axisymmetric equilibrium equations are approximated by finite differences and solved then by Gauss–Seidel method. Using the new computer code the stresses, the strains, the displacements, and the forces are determined. A full-scale instrumented swage autofrettage test was conducted and the numerical results were validated against the experimental findings. The calculated strains, the permanent bore enlargement, and the mandrel pushing force were found to be in very good agreement with the measured values.
