Crack Growth Rates

In this work two approaches to the description of short fatigue crack growth rate under large-scale yielding condition were comprehensively tested: (i) plastic component of the J-integral and (ii) Polák model of crack propagation. The ability to predict residual fatigue life of bodies with short initial cracks was studied for stainless steels Sanicro 25 and 304L. Despite their coarse microstructure and very different cyclic stress–strain response, the employed continuum mechanics models were found to give satisfactory results. Finite element modeling was used to determine the J-integrals and to simulate the evolution of crack front shapes, which corresponded to the real cracks observed on the fracture surfaces of the specimens. Residual fatigue lives estimated by these models were in good agreement with the number of cycles to failure of individual test specimens strained at various total strain amplitudes. Moreover, the crack growth rates of both investigated materials fell onto the same curve that was previously obtained for other steels with different properties. Such a “master curve” was achieved using the plastic part of J-integral and it has the potential of being an advantageous tool to model the fatigue crack propagation under large-scale yielding regime without a need of any additional experimental data.

Although reference fatigue crack growth curves for austenitic stainless steels in air environments and boiling water reactor (BWR) environments were prescribed in JSME S NA1-2002, similar curves for pressurized water reactors (PWR) were not prescribed. In order to propose the reference curve in PWR environment, fatigue tests of austenitic stainless steels in simulated PWR primary water environment were carried out. According to the procedure to determine the reference fatigue crack growth curve of BWR, which of PWR is proposed. The reference fatigue crack growth curve in PWR environment have been determines as a function of stress intensity factor range, Temperature, load rising time and stress ratio.
