Growth Evaluation

In this paper, fatigue crack growth simulation of interacting subsurface cracks using the s-version finite element method (SFEM) is presented. In order to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the proximity rules published by the ASME, during the fatigue crack growth simulations, the subsurface cracks are approximated to either a single elliptical crack or semi-elliptical surface crack in accordance with the proximity rules. Then, the proximity rules are slightly modified for improving the accuracy and reliability. The results of crack depth evolution calculated by the SFEM with the use of the new proximity rules suggest that the approximation to deep cracks drastically improves the accuracy of the fatigue crack growth evaluation. Thus, the approximation to deep cracks must be a promising approach for having better evaluation of fatigue crack growth of subsurface cracks.

Element Method

Extended finite element method is widely used to simulate the discontinuity problems, e.g. fatigue crack growth. This paper mainly analyzes the fatigue crack propagation under elevated temperature in nickel-based super alloy with extended finite element method. Cohesive zone model is used to describe the mechanical behavior around the crack tip. A modified creep damage model is introduced. Fatigue damage and creep damage are accumulated in a linear relationship. And the results produced by computational code are presented and draw a comparison with experimental observation.
