Axial Surface

The limit loads for pipelines with axial surface flaws have been evaluated by using a strip yield model at levels of ligament yield and ligament collapse. The former was defined as that at which the plastic zone first reaches the back surface, and the later is that at which the plastic zone spreads over the entire ligament. The evaluated collapse load has been used to estimate the failure stress of pipelines containing axial surface flaws. Predictions have been compared with existing experimental data.

Application of the Strip Yield Model to Crack Growth Predictions for Structural SteelA strip yield model implementation by the present authors is applied to predict fatigue crack growth observed in structural steel specimens under various constant and variable amplitude loading conditions. Attention is paid to the model calibration using the constraint factors in view of the dependence of both the crack closure mechanism and the material stress-strain response on the load history. Prediction capabilities of the model are considered in the context of the incompatibility between the crack growth resistance for constant and variable amplitude loading.

An elasto-plastic analysis is conducted based upon a strip yield model for analyzing multiple cracks in a sheet reinforced with riveted stiffeners. Using the basic solution of a single crack and taking unknown fictitious surface tractions and fastener forces, Fredholm integral equations are formulated from the equilibrium condition along multiple cracks in the sheet. In addition compatibility equations of displacements are formulated among the sheet, fasteners and stiffeners. Based upon no stress singularity at the fictitious crack tips, these equations are iteratively solved as a single system of equations. Then the unknown fictitious surface tractions, fastener forces, and plastic zone sizes ahead of the crack tips are determined. The crack tip opening displacements for a multiple cracked sheet with riveted stiffeners are determined from the derived fictitious surface tractions and plastic zone sizes. Four example calculations and predictions are presented.

Analytical Expressions

The paper presents a complicated case of coalescence of yield zones between two internal cracks out of four collinear straight cracks weakened an infinite isotropic plate. Two solutions are presented for the case of opening and closing of multiple cracks under general yielding conditions. Using these two solutions and the principle of superposition, we found the analytical expressions for load-bearing capacity of the plate using complex variable method. A numerical study has been carried out to investigate the behavior of yield zone length concerning remotely applied stresses at the boundary of the plate and the impact of two outer cracks on the propagation of inner cracks due to coalesced yield zones. Results obtained are reported graphically.

Stress And Deformation

The strip yield model is widely used to describe crack tip plasticity in front of a crack. In the strip yield model the stress in the plastic zone is considered as known, and stress and deformation fields can be obtained from elastic solutions using the condition that the crack tip stress singularity vanishes. The strip yield model is generally regarded to be valid to describe small scale plasticity at a crack tip. The present paper examines the behavior of the strip yield model at the transition to large-scale plasticity and its relationship to net section plasticity descriptions. A bar in bending with a single edge crack is used as an illustrative example to derive solutions and compare with one-sided and two-sided plasticity solutions.
