This paper describes the results of test on elastic-plastic-creep behavior of a 12-in. Sch. 20 type 304 stainless steel elbow-pipe assembly subjected to in-plane moment loading at 600°C (1112°F). During the test, loads at seven different levels were applied to the specimen. In each stage of the test, the load, deflection, strains at specific locations, and ovalization of the cross section were measured. The results were compared with Spence’s theoretical predictions on the stationary creep behavior of smooth curved pipes and the inelastic solutions obtained by the MARC finite element analysis program.

This paper proposes simplified methods to evaluate fatigue damage in a component subjected to cyclic thermal loading, in order to visualize the distribution of usage factor using a graphical user interface (GUI) incorporated in a widely-used commercial CAE. The objective is to perform the evaluation and visualization using a standard desktop PC. In the previous paper, three simplified methods based on elastic finite-element analysis (FEA) were proposed in place of the method in the procedures employed in ASME Section III Subsection NH. In this paper, the methods have been improved for elastic-plastic FEA. A previously performed thermal fatigue test with a type 304 stainless steel cylinder was simulated. Heat transfer, elastic, and inelastic analyses were conducted. Simultaneously with the analyses performed, the equivalent total strain ranges and fatigue usage factor distributions were calculated using user subroutines developed in this study including three newly proposed simplified and ASME NH-based methods. These distributions can be visualized on a GUI incorporated in a commercial FEA code. The calculation results were consistent with the distribution of cracks observed. In addition, by using these, the analysts can visualize these distributions using their familiar CAE system.

In order to evaluate the validity and limitations of the creep-hardening surface model proposed by the present authors, a series of creep tests for type 304 stainless steel were performed at 600°C under various non-steady multiaxial loadings. The test time and the interval of stress change were 960 hr and 48 or 96 hr, respectively, and five kinds of stress histories consisting of randomly varying stress magnitude, stress direction and interval of stress change were employed. It was found that the creep-hardening surface model describes sufficiently well the creep behavior observed in this work.

This paper proposes simplified methods to evaluate fatigue damage in a component subjected to cyclic thermal loads to visualize damage distribution by using typical computer-aided engineering systems. The objective is to perform the evaluations on a standard desktop PC within a reasonably short computation time. Three simplified methods for defining elastic stress ranges are proposed in place of the method in the ASME Subsection NH procedures. A thermal fatigue test that was previously performed using a type-304 stainless steel (304SS) cylinder is simulated to validate the proposed methods. Heat transfer and elastic analyses are conducted. Simultaneously with the analyses, fatigue usage factors are calculated using user subroutines formulated in this study, including the three simplified methods and the ASME NH-based method. The calculated values of the fatigue usage factor are visualized using a graphical user interface (GUI) incorporated into a commercial finite-element analysis (FEA) code. The fatigue usage factor distribution obtained using the simplified methods could be calculated without requiring large amounts of memory and long computation time. In addition, the distribution of the fatigue usage factor was consistent with the distribution of cracks observed in the test.

Predictions obtained from a simplified finite element analysis are compared with experimental results on the plastic in-plane bending and buckling of a 16-in-dia Type 304 stainless steel piping structure which consists of a 90-deg elbow and two straight tangent pipes. The large displacement analysis is based on the widely used MARC pipe-bend element 17, and on a stress-strain curve obtained from coupon specimens taken from the tested elbow. The simplified analysis predictions are found to be in reasonably good agreement with the experimental results. The analysis underestimates the experimental buckling load by 10 percent and overestimates the deformation at a given load, particularly at the higher load levels.
