T1 - Integrale bruchmechanische Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen: Validierung an Längsstreifen N2 - Zur Validierung der IBESS-Prozedur wurden Schwingfestigkeitsuntersuchungen an Längssteifen aus S355 NL durchführt. Neben dem Einfluss der Mittelspannung wurde der Einfluss der Eigenspannung und der Kerbschärfe experimentell untersucht. Die durchgeführten Schwingfestigkeitsversuche zeigen einen geringen Einfluss der Mittelspannung und der Eigenspannungen, wobei der Einfluss der Nahtgeometrie deutlich sichtbar ist. Proben mit geringerem Nahtanstiegswinkel zeigen eine höhere Schwingfestigkeit, was vor allem auf die längere Rissinitiierungsphase zurückzuführen ist. Die gemessenen und berechneten Schweißeigenspannungen ergeben Quereigenspannungen von bis zu 80% der Streckgrenze. Die zyklische Belastung der Probe zeigt, dass die Eigenspannungen sich beim ersten Lastzyklus signifikant durch Plastifizierung abbauen. Die Simulation des Rissschließens zeigt eine Abhängigkeit vom Lastniveau; von der Mittelspannung und von der Netzdichte. Das Rissschließen tritt an der Plattenoberfläche früher als am tiefsten Punkt des Risses auf.

T1 - The effect of the local and global weld geometry as well as material defects on crack initiation and fatigue strength N2 - The paper provides an application of the IBESS approach to the investigation of the influence of various parameters of the global and local weld geometry as well as material defects on the fatigue strength of weldments. For this purpose, the global weld parameters, such as the weld toe radius, the flank angle, the excess weld metal, local secondary notches (in the present study as a measure of surface imperfections) and inclusions sizes have been determined as statistical distributions for different joint types and geometries and two steels of different strengths. The results are in line with literature data and reveal the potential of the theoretical approach to predict the correct trends. The combination with an advanced weld quality system has been demonstrated to be possible.

T1 - Fatigue and fracture of weldments - The IBESS approach for the determination of the fatigue life and strength of weldments by fracture mechanics analysis N2 - The acronym IBESS stands for "Integrale Bruchmechanische Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen" which, translated from German, means "integral fracture mechanics determination of the fatigue strength of welds". the method introduced in this study is the outcome of a German Research cluster in which eight partners were involved. A list of them is found at the end this study. The IBESS method is characterized by a number of partially novel aspects and elements of fracture mechanics applied to the evaluation of fatigue stength of welds. The most important ones are: (a) Determination of fatigue crack propagation for mechanically/physically short and long cracks. (b) Determination of an elastic-plastic crack driving force for the treatment of mechanically short cracks. To that purpose an analytical expression for the cyclic J-integral was developed and validated against finite element results. (c) The gradual build-up of the crack closure phenomenon is determined by using cyclic R-curves which describe the crack size dependency of the fatigue crack propagation threshold in the physically short crack growth regime. (d) A physically meaningful initial crack size is defined for total life consideration. It is based on a two-criteria approach. Based on a cyclic R-curve analysis, the crack size at crack arrest is determined as a lower bound. If, however, a pre-existing crack-like defect is larger than this, its dimensions define the initial crack size. (e) Multiple crack propagation at the weld toe is considered. (f) In conjunction with this, the variation of the weld toe geometry is considered in a stochastic model. (g) As a result, both the fatigue limit (defined for 107 loading cycles) and the finite life (high cycle) fatigue S-N curve are obtained statistically. (h) At various analysis steps, parametric equations have been developed which allow for analytical calculations instead of complete stochastic analyses based on finite elements which are unrealistic even at present. (i) The method has been validated with a large number of S-N curves including two materials, three weldment types with two geometries, each referring to differnt manufacturing technologies and the as-welded and stressrelieved state. (j) Althrough not finally solved, an extended discussion is provided on the issue of welding residual stresses including their redistribution under cyclic loading. (k) A number of simplifications is proposed at lower analyses levels which, however, partly lack complete validation by now.

T1 - The IBESS approach for the determination of the fatigue life and strength of weldments by fracture mechanics analysis N2 - This book provides a comprehensive and thorough guide to those readers who are lost in the often-confusing context of weld fatigue. It presents straightforward information on the fracture mechanics and material background of weld fatigue, starting with fatigue crack initiation and short cracks, before moving on to long cracks, crack closure, crack growth and threshold, residual stress, stress concentration, the stress intensity factor, J-integral, multiple cracks, weld geometries and defects, microstructural parameters including HAZ, and cyclic stress-strain behavior. The book treats all of these essential and mutually interacting parameters using a unique form of analysis.
