Number Of Cycles

There are situations where a marine structure is subjected to stress cycles of such large magnitude that small, but significant, parts of the structural component in question experiences cyclic plasticity. Welded joints are particularly vulnerable because of high local stress concentrations. Fatigue caused by oscillating strain in the plastic range is called “low cycle fatigue”. Cycles to failure are typically below 104. Traditional welded joint S-N curves do not describe the fatigue strength in the low cycle region (< 104 number of cycles). Typical Class Society Rules do not directly address the low cycle fatigue problem. It is therefore the objective of this paper to present a credible fatigue damage prediction method of welded joints in the low cycle fatigue regime.

Strain Data

The results of inelastic finite element analyses of several uniaxial specimens used for low-cycle fatigue and cyclic plasticity testing are presented. The test specimens studied include both hourglass and uniform gage-type geometries. These results indicate that normally used hourglass specimens may significantly underestimate the strain for a given stress. Uniform gage specimens with commonly used length-to-diameter ratios are shown to provide adequate stress-strain data. Two extensively strain-gaged uniform gage specimens were tested to provide data to confirm the acceptability of the inelastic analysis methods.

Creep Fatigue

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) and Creep-fatigue interaction (CFI) behavior of 316LN austenitic stainless steel alloyed with 0.07, 0.11, 0.14, .22 wt.% nitrogen is briefly discussed in this paper. The strain-life fatigue behavior of these steels is found to be dictated by not only cyclic plasticity but also by dynamic strain aging (DSA) and secondary cyclic hardening (SCH). The influence of the above phenomenon on cyclic stress response and fatigue life is evaluated in the present study. The above mentioned steels exhibited both single-and dual-slope strain-life fatigue behavior depending on the test temperatures. Concomitant dislocation substructural evolution has revealed transition in substructures from planar to cell structures justifying the change in slope. The beneficial effect of nitrogen on LCF life is observed to be maximum for 316LN with nitrogen in the range 0.11 - 0.14 wt.%, for the tests conducted over a range of temperatures (773-873 K) and at ±0.4 and 0.6 % strain amplitudes at a strain rate of 3*10-3 s-1. A decrease in the applied strain rate from 3*10-3 s-1 to 3*10-5 s-1 or increase in the test temperature from 773 to 873 K led to a peak in the LCF life at a nitrogen content of 0.07 wt.%. Similar results are obtained in CFI tests conducted with tensile hold periods of 13 and 30 minutes. Fractography studies of low strain rate and hold time tested specimens revealed extensive intergranular cracking.

Fatigue Evaluation

This paper establishes limits on piping material strains for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Level D loadings that ensure a limitation of deformation and provide suitable safety margins. In establishing the strain limits, potential piping failure modes due to compressive wrinkling and low-cycle fatigue are considered. A stress-strain correlation methodology to convert linear, elastically calculated Code Class 2 and 3 equation (9)-Level D stresses to strains is established. This correlation is based on the fatigue evaluation procedure of the Code and is verified by comparison with test results. A detailed discussion of test results compared with the stress-strain correlation methodology is also presented.
