Manufacturing of large scale steel pipes in a nuclear power plant, offshore structures and a petroleum chemical plant, etc., a spiral welding method is mainly used. Such a welding part generally has several types of defect such as an undercut, a pit and a crack and in many cases, it finally reaches the failure by crack growth from these. The linear elastic fracture mechanics has been applied to a study on fatigue crack growth of welding parts, that is, as the weld, the heat affected zone (HAZ) and the base metal part in a large scale steel pipe by several reachers. However, since such studies are mainly the results by a standard specimen under uniaxial tensile load, they are different from the fatigue crack growth of a real large scale steel pipe under multiaxial load. In this study, we performed the evaluation for the characteristics of the mixed mode fatigue crack growth behavior of a spiral welding part in a real large scale steel pipe under bending load.

This paper presents computational modeling of a crack growth path under mixed-mode loadings in linear elastic materials and investigates the influence of a hole on both fatigue crack propagation and fatigue life when subjected to constant amplitude loading conditions. Though the crack propagation is inevitable, the simulation specified the crack propagation path such that the critical structure domain was not exceeded. ANSYS Mechanical APDL 19.2 was introduced with the aid of a new feature in ANSYS: Smart Crack growth technology. It predicts the propagation direction and subsequent fatigue life for structural components using the extended finite element method (XFEM). The Paris law model was used to evaluate the mixed-mode fatigue life for both a modified four-point bending beam and a cracked plate with three holes under the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) assumption. Precise estimates of the stress intensity factors (SIFs), the trajectory of crack growth, and the fatigue life by an incremental crack propagation analysis were recorded. The findings of this analysis are confirmed in published works in terms of crack propagation trajectories under mixed-mode loading conditions.

In the current study, polymer-based composites, consisting of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Bismuth Antimony Telluride (BixSb2−xTe3), were produced using mechanical mixing and hot pressing. These composites were investigated regarding their electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient, with respect to Bi doping and BixSb2-xTe3 loading into the composite. Experimental results showed that their thermoelectric performance is comparable—or even superior, in some cases—to reported thermoelectric polymer composites that have been produced using other complex techniques. Consequently, mechanically mixed polymer-based thermoelectric materials could be an efficient method for low-cost and large-scale production of polymer composites for potential thermoelectric applications.
