Mechanical dents often occur in transmission pipelines, and are recognized as one of major threats to pipeline integrity because of the potential fatigue failure due to cyclic pressures. With matured in-line-inspection (ILI) technology, mechanical dents can be identified from the ILI runs. Based on ILI measured dent profiles, finite element analysis (FEA) is commonly used to simulate stresses and strains in a dent, and to predict fatigue life of the dented pipeline. However, the dent profile defined by ILI data is a purely geometric shape without residual stresses nor plastic deformation history, and is different from its actual dent that contains residual stresses/strains due to dent creation and re-rounding. As a result, the FEA results of an ILI dent may not represent those of the actual dent, and may lead to inaccurate or incorrect results. To investigate the effect of residual stress or plastic deformation history on mechanics responses and fatigue life of an actual dent, three dent models are considered in this paper: (a) a true dent with residual stresses and dent formation history, (b) a purely geometric dent having the true dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it, and (c) a purely geometric dent having an ILI defined dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it. Using a three-dimensional FEA model, those three dents are simulated in the elastic-plastic conditions. The FEA results showed that the two geometric dents determine significantly different stresses and strains in comparison to those in the true dent, and overpredict the fatigue life or burst pressure of the true dent. On this basis, suggestions are made on how to use the ILI data to predict the dent fatigue life.

Strain Evolution

One of the most important components in the hydraulic fracturing is a type of positive-displacement-reciprocating-pumps known as a fracture pump. The fluid end module of the pump is prone to failure due to unconventional drilling impacts of the fracking. The basis of the fluid end module can be attributed to cross bores. Stress concentration locations appear at the bores intersections and as a result of cyclic pressures failures occur. Autofrettage is one of the common technologies to enhance the fatigue resistance of the fluid end module through imposing the compressive residual stresses. However, evaluating the stress–strain evolution during the autofrettage and approximating the residual stresses are vital factors. Fluid end module geometry is complex and there is no straightforward analytical solution for prediction of the residual stresses induced by autofrettage. Finite element analysis (FEA) can be applied to simulate the autofrettage and investigate the stress–strain evolution and residual stress fields. Therefore, a nonlinear kinematic hardening material model was developed and calibrated to simulate the autofrettage process on a typical commercial triplex fluid end module. Moreover, the results were compared to a linear kinematic hardening model and a 6–12% difference between two models was observed for compressive residual hoop stress at different cross bore corners. However, implementing nonlinear FEA for solving the complicated problems is computationally expensive and time-consuming. Thus, the comparison between nonlinear FEA and a proposed analytical formula based on the notch strain analysis for a cross bore was performed and the accuracy of the analytical model was evaluated.

Independent research studies have shown notable dissimilarity in the machining behaviour of aluminum alloys AA6061−T6 and AA7075−T651 commonly used in automotive and aeronautical applications. The present work attempts to investigate this dissimilarity based on experimental and numerical data with a focus on chip formation and generated residual stresses under similar high−speed machining (HSM) conditions. The numerical data were calculated by a finite element modeling (FEM) developed using DeformTM 2D software. The results showed that both studied alloys exhibit different chip formation mechanisms and residual stress states at the machined surfaces. On one hand, the AA6061−T6 alloy generates continuous chips and tensile residual stresses whereas the AA7075−T651 alloy produces segmented chips and compressive residual stresses. FEM results showed that the AA6061−T6 alloy generates lower cutting temperature at the tool−chip interface along with higher equivalent total strains at the machined surface as compared to the AA7075−T651 alloy. Based on the experimental and numerical results, it was pointed out that the differences in terms of thermal conductivity and initial yield stress are the main reasons explaining the dissimilarity observed.

Compressive Residual Stresses

The effects of ultrasonic deep rolling (UDR) on the fatigue behavior of pre-corroded 7A52 aluminum alloys were investigated. By means of X-Ray diffraction stress measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), residual stress and fractograph of 7A52 aluminum alloys with and without UDR treatment were analyzed. The results indicated that the UDR produced compressive residual stresses with depth approaching 1mm. UDR treatment can extend the fatigue life of the pre-corroded 7A52 specimens to a large extent, depending on the level of corrosion and UDR parameter. For the slightly corrode specimens, the UDR treatment changed the fatigue crack nucleation site from surface to the transition zone between the compressive residual stresses and tensile stresses, resulted in a much longer fatigue life. For the severely corrode specimens, the crack still nucleated by intergranular cracking, however, due to the compressive residual stresses introduced and the closure of the corrosion pits and corrosion micro-crocks, UDR treatment still improved fatigue performance of the pre-corroded 7A52 aluminum alloy substantially.

We suggest the phenomenological method of reconstructing the fields of residual stresses and plastic deformations in thin-walled cylindrical tubes made of Х18N10Т steel in the delivery state and after a simultaneous bilateral surface plastic hardening by the vibration-shot blasting of the surface with beads on a special vibrating stand. A cylindrical container filled with three-millimeter beads was attached to it. The tubes were 50 % filled with one-millimeter beads, and they were placed inside the container. The axis of the tube and the container coincided. The space between the tube and the container was 80 % filled with beads. The vibrational frequency of the stand was 18.5 KHz, the hardening time was 20 minutes. The tube in the container was rotated to ensure uniform hardening. We determined the experimental values of residual stresses σθ and σ z in the surface layers using the method of rings and strips with the procedure of the layer-by-layer electrochemical picking of the hardened layers. For this purpose, the experimentally measured values of the beam-strip deflection and the angular opening of the cut ring (changing the diameter) were used. The hardening anisotropy parameter which relates the axial and circumferential components of plastic deformation was introduced into the mathematical model. In solving the stated problems the hypotheses of plastic incompressibility of the material, the absence of secondary plastic deformations of the material in the compression region of the surface layer, as well as the hypothesis of flat sections and straight radii were used. We described the method aimed at solving this type of boundary value problems of reconstructing stress-strain states, which makes it possible to determine the missing component σ r and all the components of the tensor of residual plastic deformations (off-diagonal components of the tensors of stresses and deformations were not considered). The method of reconstructing the stress-strain state is universal, because it has shown its operability both in determining the technological fields of residual stresses, as well as the irreversible strains in the samples in the delivered state after mechanical operations, and after bilateral surface plastic deformation. The adequacy of the calculated data was verified, which was obtained using the phenomenological method of reconstructing the stress and strain fields of the experimental data for the samples in the delivery state and after hardening. The correspondence of the calculated and experimental data was matched. The numerical values are given for the anisotropy parameter connecting the circumferential and axial irreversible strains, for samples, in the delivery state, its numerical value is 0.1, and, for the hardened samples, it is 4.2. This indicates a significant anisotropy of the distribution of the axial and circumferential components of the residual strain tensor. It has been established that the compressive residual stresses are observed in the delivery state in the region adjacent to the inner surface, and the tensile stresses are observed in the layer on the outer surface. Only compressive stresses are observed in both regions after hardening, which significantly exceed in module similar stresses for the samples in the delivery state. The main results are illustrated by the tabular data and the corresponding diagrams of the distribution of residual stresses along the depth of the hardened layer.
