In recent years BAM was involved in several licensing procedures of new spent fuel and HLW package designs, where the cask body was made of Ductile Cast Iron (DCI). According to IAEA regulations package designs have to fulfill requirements for specific conditions of transport. Type B(U) packages must withstand the defined accident conditions of transport. The temperature range from -40°C up to the operational temperature has to be considered. For the cask material DCI, it is necessary to determine the brittle fracture behavior. The German guideline BAM-GGR 007 defines requirements for the fracture mechanics of DCI. Due to complex structure of the cask body and the dynamic loading a fracture mechanical assessment in an analytical kind is not always possible. Experience of recent design approval procedures show that the application of numerical calculations are applicable to determine the fracture mechanical load in the cask body. At the first step a numerical analysis has to be done to identify the loading state at the whole cask body. Secondly an analysis of a detail of the cask body is made considering the displacement boundary conditions of the global model. An artificial flaw is considered in this detailed model to calculate the fracture mechanical loading state. The finite element mesh was strongly refined in the area of flaw. The size of the artificial flaw is characterized by the ultrasonic inspection used for the quality assurance of the package. The applicant developed additional analysis tools for calculation of stress intensity factor and/or J-Integral. The assessment approach by BAM led to the decision to develop own tools to the possibility for independent check of the results. The paper describes the authority assessment approach for the DCI fracture mechanics analysis. The validation procedure incl. the development of own tools is explained. BAM developed a post-processor called JINFEM to determine the fracture mechanical loads. The regulatory 1 m puncture bar drop test is used to give an example of the assessment procedure.

It describes failure scenarios due to fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Besides common aspects of design, specific features such as corrosion and impact damage from flying ballast are discussed which may reduce the fatigue strength of axles during service. Potential effects of non-metallic inclusions from the steel manufacturing process are addressed in the context of the very high number of loading cycles railway axles are designed for. With respect to damage tolerance general lines of fracture mechanics residual lifetime analyses are introduced. More specific discussion is provided on aspects such as the threshold value of fatigue crack propagation and reliability aspects of non-destructive inspection.

T1 - Safe life and damage tolerance concepts of railway axles N2 - On July 9, 2008 a high speed train derailed in Cologne main Station, Germany at a low speed because an axle was broken. Fortunately, the derailment happened at a low speed so that nobody was injured. The reason for the broken axle was investigated and it turned out that most likely large inclusions located shortly undemeath the surface in a T-transition were the origin of the final crack. Basing on that result, a systematic investigation on existing safety assessments of railway axles was performed. This results in an analysis of the production process of axles and in a critical review of existing of existing assessments. Improvements and future developments are outlined.

T1 - Reference load versus limit load in engineering flaw assessment: A proposal for a hybrid analysis option N2 - The net section limit load FY is a key input parameter for the accuracy of any elastic-plastic flaw assessment procedure of the R6 type. Unfortunately available limit load solutions are of variable quality since they have been obtained over decades by different methods. As a consequence the results of the fracture analyses such as the critical load or crack size are limited in their accuracy and are often significantly conservative. A further problem is that common limit load solutions based on ligament yielding are inadequate in a number of cases even for through crack configurations and should be replaced by some kind of local yielding solutions. In the present paper a simple and straightforward reference load definition is proposed instead of the limit load which strictly corresponds to a ligament yielding parameter Lr = 1 in the R6 Routine and similar approaches such as SINTAP and FITNET. This can be determined by finite element simulation for any geometry. In addition to a previous study on thin wall notched plates the method is applied to plates containing shallow semi-elliptical surface cracks. The results demonstrate that the approach provides a suitable extension and improvement of the existing methods.

Starting with a recent failure case, a broken axle of a German high speed train, a discussion is presented on issues of both safety levels. These include ideas for finite life design, the treatment of in-service effects on the fatigue strength due to flying ballast damage and corrosion pits, the effect of corrosion on fatigue crack initiation and propagation, potential effects of non-metallic inclusions in steels, the way to detect them by quality control measures and reliability aspects of non-destructive testing with respect to the detection of fatigue cracks.

A1 - Hilgenberg, Kai T1 - Design methodology of vessel produced by L PBF stainless steel using representative specimens N2 - This work presents the preliminary results of an ongoing project with a double objective: on the one hand, the characterisation of the mechanical properties against fatigue damage of an additively manufactured 316 stainless steel produced by laser powder bed-based (L-PBF) technology; on the other hand, the implementation of numerical simulation techniques able to predict the mechanical behaviour of the material in order to optimise and reduce the design costs of vessels used in the chemical sector. The current state of the work developed in this research framework allows showing the first batch of experimental results of crack propagation rate (FCGR) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests. The geometry of the vessels studied presents three clearly differentiated regions, either in terms of thickness (11-15 mm) or concerning the inclination of the walls to the direction of manufacturing (0º - 45º). The experimental campaign carried out so far allows identifying the differences in behaviour when comparing different extraction locations around the vessel. This is due to the variations in thermal cycles that the deposited material undergoes during the manufacturing process. Therefore, this causes variations in the microstructure which lead to changes in the response of the material. In this work, these differences are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively from the results of FCGR and HCF, thus allowing to locate the regions with the highest risk in terms of structural integrity against fatigue. This preliminary phase together with the numerical simulation of the additive manufacturing process are key to achieving a reliable description and modelling of the material. The latter will make it possible to address the priority aim of this project, involving the manufacture of independent samples whose properties are representative of the original material extracted from the reference vessels. It is, therefore, a comprehensive methodology for the design of additively manufactured components based on the localised fatigue mechanical properties of representative specimens.

T1 - Robust determination of fatigue crack propagation thresholds from crack growth data N2 - The robust determination of the threshold against fatigue crack propagation DKth is of paramount importance in fracture mechanics based fatigue assessment procedures. The standards ASTM E647 and ISO 12108 introduce operational definitions of DKth based on the crack propagation rate da/dN and suggest linear fits of logarithmic DK– da/dN test data to calculate DKth. Since these fits typically suffer from a poor representation of the actual curvature of the crack propagation curve, a method for evaluating DKth using a nonlinear function is proposed. It is shown that the proposed method reduces the artificial conservativeness induced by the evaluation method as well as the susceptibility to scatter in test data and the influence of test data density.

Gefordert wird, dass sich der Achsschenkel auch unter Akzeptanz begrenzten Risswachstums hinreichend elastisch-plastisch verformen kann, ohne dass es zum Bruch kommt. Der Fahrer soll anschließend anhand der bleibenden Verformungen bemerken können, dass mit seinem Fahrzeug etwas nicht in Ordnung ist. Eine Voraussetzung für dieses Bauteilverhalten ist eine hinreichende Bruchzähigkeit des Werkstoffs. Diese, wie auch die Rissspitzenbeanspruchung, müssen ermittelt werden, um den bruchmechanischen Sicherheitsnachweis führen zu können. Zur Ermittlung der mechanisch-technologischen und bruchmechanischen Werkstoffeigenschaften wurde ein Prüfkonzept entwickelt, bei dem die Proben an der potenziell kritischen Stelle direkt aus den geschmiedeten Achsschenkeln entnommen werden. Die experimentelle Werkstoffcharakterisierung bildet dann die Beanspruchungsbedingungen beim Überlastereignis ab. Im Rahmen der Produktion stehen jedoch nur Kerbschlagarbeitswerte zur Verfügung und aufwändige bruchmechanische Versuche sollen vermieden werden. Deshalb wurde eine Korrelation zur Abschätzung der vorhandenen Bruchzähigkeit aus der Kerbschlagarbeit herangezogen. Es ergibt sich eine Ergebnismatrix, die die Einflussgrößen Versagenswahrscheinlichkeit, Temperatur und Bruchzähigkeit verknüpft. Abschließend wird ein erster Vergleich der abgeschätzten mit den experimentell ermittelten Bruchzähigkeitswerten gezogen. Dieser weist aus, dass die abgeschätzten Werte geringfügig konservativ sind.

The present paper aims at comparing two advanced local approaches for the fatigue strength assessment of different welded joints made of steel. The first one is IBESS which is based on short crack fracture mechanics. The second one is the PSM which instead involves the strain energy density approach. Both methods will be briefly presented, and the fatigue life prediction results discussed. The results obtained for the joint geometries considered in this work show advantages and drawbacks of the approaches, which are thoroughly analysed as well.

An important issue is that several factors can influence ΔKth and, in general, the fatigue crack propagation behavior. In this work, the influence of the experimental procedure, air humidity, stress ratio and test frequency on da/dN-ΔK data has been investigated. Results are discussed with their potential causes and consequences on the calculations of the residual lifetime.

It can be determined empirically with great experimental effort. It can also be estimated by means of the El Haddad relationship if the endurance limit and the long fatigue crack propagation threshold are available in reasonable accuracy. A third option is the determination using the cyclic R-curve, which describes the dependency of the fatigue crack propagation threshold on the crack growth at the short crack propagation stage. This can be experimentally determined using a closure-free initial pre-crack. It can then be applied to the determination of crack arrest for a given applied load and a given defect or crack size. Compared to the other two methods mentioned above, this option has considerable advantages: It can be applied to any component and any stress ratio. It allows the treatment of multiple cracks and provides estimations of the S-N curve in the finite life regime as well as at the endurance limit. Compared to the empirical determination of the KT diagram, the experimental effort is significantly lower and compared to the El Haddad approach it avoids problems such as the use of non-conservative long fatigue crack propagation thresholds (when the conventional load reduction method is applied to materials prone to corrosion) and the mathematical predetermination of the curve shape. The work introduces the method and provides a critical discussion as well as quantitative comparison between the different methods.

Despite the promising potential, AM components are still far from being used in safety-relevant applications, mainly due to a lack of understanding of the feedstock-process-properties-performance relationship. This work aims at providing a full characterization of the fatigue behavior of the additively manufactured AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel and a direct comparison with the fatigue performance of the wrought steel. To this purpose, a set of specimens has been produced by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and subsequently heat treated at 900 °C for 1 hour for complete stress relief, whereas a second set of specimens has been machined out of hot-rolled plates. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests have been conducted for characterizing the fatigue behavior. The L-PBF material had a higher fatigue limit and better finite life performance compared to wrought material. Both, LCF and HCF-testing revealed an extensive cyclic softening.

Ihre Integrität wird in Bauteiltests unter Überdrehzahlbedingungen nachgewiesen. Kontext des Aufsatzes ist die Erarbeitung einer zusätzlichen Bewertungsebene auf der Grundlage von Versuchen unter monotoner Beanspruchung, die die Beanspruchung im Bauteil realistisch wiedergeben soll. Betrachtet wird ein halbelliptischer Riss, der bei der weiteren Ausbreitung als Umfangsriss wächst (rim peeling). Die Simulation dieser Stelle im Bauteil schließt die mechanische und thermische Beanspruchung sowie sie Dehnungsbehinderung ein. Letztere wird anhand zweier Parameter, der Spannungsmehrachsigkeit ℎ und des (allerdings modifizierten) Constraint-Parameters nach Newman, der die Spannungen über den plastisch verformten Bereich mittelt, bestimmt. Erwartungsgemäß zeigt sich, dass die höchste Dehnungsbehinderung weder an den Oberflächenpunkten, noch an den tiefsten Punkten, sondern an einer Stelle zwischen beiden auf der Rissfront auftritt. Als Versuchsgeometrie für die monotonen Tests soll eine Kreuzprobe mit wanddurchdringenden Rissen ausgehend von einer Innenbohrung dienen. Durch geeignete Wahl der Risstiefe sowie der in beiden Richtungen angreifenden Kräfte gelingt es, bauteiladäquate Zustände zu erzeugen. T2 - 54.

T1 - Aspekte der analytischen bruchmechanischen Bauteilbewertung N2 - Am Beispiel eines abgesetzten zylindrischen Bauteils (Achsschenkel) werden Probleme der analytischen bruchmechanischen Bauteilbewertung diskutiert. Als Basis-philosophie wird ein Fail Safe-Kriterium (kontrolliertes Versagen) angesetzt. Die Forderung ist, dass sich der Achsschenkel, bevor er bricht, in einem Ausmaß plastisch verformen kann, bei dem der Fahrer bemerkt, dass mit seinem Fahrzeug etwas nicht in Ordnung ist. Um das zu gewährleisten, muss der Werkstoff einen bestimmten Riss-widerstand aufweisen. Dazu werden im hier vorgestellten ersten Teil des Projektes mittels FEM Rissspitzenbeanspruchungen in Abhängigkeit von der Auslenkung des Zylinders und angenommener Rissgrößen ermittelt. Diese finden als Zielgrößen in der weiteren Analyse Anwendung. Da eine einfach umzusetzende Lösung angestrebt wird, werden zusätzlich analytische Rechnungen an Ersatzgeometrien (halbunendliche Platte und Vollzylinder), aber mit den realen Spannungen am Bauteil durchgeführt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Ergebnisse wegen des Steifigkeitsunterschieds zwischen Bauteil und Ersatzgeometrie unvertretbar konservativ sind. Alternativ wird ein hybrides Konzept vorgestellt, für das die Modellparameter mittels FEM bestimmt werden. Es liefert sehr genaue Ergebnisse. Im Rahmen der analytischen Rechenvorschrift können die Lösungen auf andere Werkstoffe übertragen werden, ohne dass zusätzliche FEM-Analysen notwendig sind. T2 - 54.

The aim is an investigation of the effect of the geometrical parameters toe radius, flank angle, reinforcement and secondary notches such as roughness or undercuts. The influence of these parameters is discussed both individually and in combination; however, excluding statistical distributions of them and the material data. The results, when compared with conventional FAT classes for butt welds, are encouraging with respect to a potential contribution of IBESS to the discussion of more advanced quality criteria for welds.

T1 - Structural integrity II: fatigue properties N2 - If a component is cyclically loaded, its load carrying capacity is considerably lower than in the monotonic loading case. This general observation applies in particular to L-PBF parts. The causes of this are mainly material defects such as pores and unwelded regions (Chapter 8) and a pronounced surface roughness in the as-built condition (Chapter 9). In addition, effects due to the anisotropy of the microstructure (Chapter 6) and a complex residual stress pattern (Chapter 7) play an important role. A consequence is that common strategies of fatigue assessment cannot be transferred to L-PBF applications without modifications. Due to the inhomogeneity of the material, the determination of representative material properties and the transfer to the component is a problem, and this is also the case with regard to the consideration of defects, surface roughness and residual stresses. The chapter gives a brief introduction to these problem areas.

This is primarily due to (a) a significant inhomogeneity of the material properties across the component; (b) defects such as porosity and lack of fusion as well as pronounced surface roughness of the asuilt components; and (c) residual stresses, which are very often present in the as‐built parts and need to be removed by post‐fabrication treatments. Such morphological and microstructural features are very different than in conventionally manufactured parts and play a much bigger role in determining the fatigue life. The above problems require specific solutions with respect to the identification of the critical (failure) sites in AM fabricated components. Moreover, the generation of representative test specimens characterized by similar temperature cycles needs to be guaranteed if one wants to reproducibly identify the critical sites and establish fatigue assessment methods taking into account the effect of defects on crack initiation and early propagation. The latter requires fracture mechanics‐based approaches which, unlike common methodologies, cover the specific characteristics of so‐called short fatigue cracks. This paper provides a discussion of all these aspects with special focus on components manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L‐PBF).

A1 - Zerbst, Uwe T1 - Fracture mechanics-based structural integrity assessment of aeroengine turbine disks under overspeed conditions N2 - Aero-engine turbine disks are safety-relevant components which are operated under high thermal and mechanical stress conditions. The actual part qualification and certification procedures make use of spin-tests conducted on productionsimilar disks. While these tests provide, on the one hand, a reliable definition of the critical conditions for real components, on the other hand they represent a relevant cost item for engine manufacturers. The aim of this work is to present part of a fracture mechanics-based procedure under development which aims at replacing the tests on production-similar disks with lab tests on fracture mechanics specimens. In particular, the rimpeeling failure mode is considered as case study. A semi-circular surface crack is modelled at the most stressed region at the diaphragm of a turbine disk, with the crack plane perpendicular to the radial direction. The crack is therefore subjected to a biaxial stress state and grows under increasing rotational speed until it triggers the rim-peeling failure. The finite element simulation of the cracked disk considers the real thermal and mechanical loading conditions. In order to design a lab representative specimen, beside the crack driving force, expressed in terms of � -integral, also the constraint to plastic deformation e.g., stress triaxiality, at the crack-tip must be similar for the same crack in the specimen and in the disk. This has been achieved and as expected, both the highest � -integral and constraint factor are calculated at the same location along the crack front for both disk and specimen. The results of the structural integrity assessment in the form of a Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) show good agreement between designed specimen and disk both in terms of expected failure mode and value of the critical speed. Probabilistic aspects are also considered in the calculations.

The problem arises when assessment procedures such as R6, BS 7910 or SINTAP/FITNET are applied in conjunction with substitute geometries for determining the model parameters K-factor and limit load (or a substitute for the latter), as it is common practice. In the example, the conservatism was so pronounced that this procedure was in fact unusable. A way out could be the finite element-based determination of the model parameters and their use in the analytical framework. This procedure is useful and effective if the finite element-based calculations are used in parameter sensitivity analyses.

T1 - A model for fracture mechanics based prediction of the fatigue strength: Further validation and limitations N2 - Recently two of the authors of the present paper proposed a model for a fracture mechanics based prediction of the S–N characteristics of metallic components with large microstructural defects and supported this by a validation exercise on tensile plates made of an aluminium alloy AL5380 H321. Here the authors extend the study using a number of further data sets from the literature for which data were available at different R ratios. These data include two aluminium alloys, Al 2024-T3 and Al 7075-T6, and a ductile cast iron, EN-GJS- 400-18-LT. Despite of necessary assumptions for the compensation of partially missing input information the results were fairly reasonable with the exception of one data set. The authors identify high applied stress levels in combination with potential multiple crack initiation as the probable root of the problem and propose a scheme how the model can be extended for taking into account crack initiation.

These cover Single-Vand Double-V joints subject to tensile and bending loading. Compared to the most widespread solutions in the literature, which have also been tested against the finite element data in this work, the application range is extended particularly with respect to the weld toe radius(0.1≤ρ≤4 mm)andangle(10 °≤α≤60 °). Furthermore, two values of excess weld metal are considered (h=0.75;2.5mm). The analyses are performed for a plate thickness of 10 mm.

Due to the brittleness of the weld material and HAZ and the scatter in its mechanical properties, a statistical approach is necessary. The paper deals with surface cracks at the foot base of aluminothermic welded rails, developing a probabilistic methodology for determining the day by day prospective failure probability. The investigations presented here comprise weld material characterization, simulation of fatigue crack propagation and finally the determination of the failure probability using the Monte Carlo method. The effect of various parameters, such as axle weight, Initial crack size, residual stresses, fatigue crack propagation threshold and date of inspection were analyzed. The results show that, independent of the date of the last inspection, almost any failure event happens in wintertime. This is in accordance with practical experience. However, from the proposed analysis it is evident that the main parameter controlling rail fracture is not only the minimum local temperature, but the temperature range over the whole year. Finally, the results are compared to the standard rail classification method.

A1 - Madia, Mauro A1 - Zerbst, Uwe T1 - Critical speed of flawed rotors: global vs local approach N2 - The burst of a disc in rotating machinery can cause catastrophic damage of the equipment and, more importantly, it can represent a mortal threat to anyone in the sphere of influence of the event. In order to minimize the danger associated to a rotating component failure, burst testing is required by the authorities in order to set safety margins to the normal operating speeds. Moreover more accurate predicting tools are required for designing the components. This paper presents the results of a numerical and analytical study on the assessment of the crack driving force for discs containing surface flaws. The aim is to provide a simple, though reliable, tool in order to be able to calculate the possible dangerous in-service speed for a rotating component and, therefore, to set burst margins above the normal operating conditions of the equipment. An R6-like flaw assessment procedure is adopted considering different assumptions in the definition of the critical speed and the analytical predictions are compared with the results of elastic-plastic finite element analysis of disc. In particular, the validity and potentiality of the method is proved for surface flaws in different positions in the disc.

Da man es im Bereich der Schwingfestigkeit mit kurzen Rissen zu tun hat, auf die die etablierten Methoden der Langrissbruchmechanik nicht anwendbar sind, werden Lösungen entwickelt, die es erlauben, sowohl die rissnahen Plastizitätsverhältnisse als auch die mit wachsendem Riss graduell zunehmenden Rissschließeffekte quantitativ zu beschreiben. Unter Einbeziehung der sogenannten "zyklischen R-Kurve", deren experimentelle Methodik ebenfalls im Rahmen des Projekts weiterentwickelt wird, ist es zudem möglich, Ausgangsrissgrößen vorherzusagen, die auf Dauerfestigkeitsniveau gerade so noch arretieren würden. Dies erlaubt umgekehrt eine Abschätzung der Dauerfestigkeit an realen Bauteilen wie eben Schweißnähten sowie die statistisch basierte, analytische Vorhersage des Zeitfestigkeitsastes der Wöhlerkurve. Die im Modell berücksichtigten Parameter bzw. deren statistische Verteilung schließen Werkstoffdaten und die lokale Nahtgeometrie (Nachtübergangsradius, Nahtanstiegswinkel, Einbrandkerben oder Oberflächenrauhigkeit) ein. Im Vortrag wird das analytische Modell vorgestellt und vor dem Hintergrund der im IBESS-Cluster bereitgestellten experimentellen Information diskutiert.

T1 - Imperfektionen für die schwingbruchmechanische Bewertung von Schweißverbindungen N2 - Bruchmechanischen Bewertungsmethoden liegt stets eine tatsachlich vorhandene oder fiktive Anfangsrisslange zu Grunde. Schweißverbindungen sind mit strukturellen Imperfektionen wie beispielsweise lnhomogenitaten in der Mikrostruktur und den Werkstoffeigenschaften behaftet, welche auf der Werkstoffseite berücksichtigt werden können. Imperfektionen wie der Kantenversatz und der Nahtübergangsradius, die als außere geometrische Imperfektionen aufgefasst werden können, haben vor allem Auswirkungen auf den Spannungszustand und werden daher auf der Lastseite erfasst. Innere geometrische Imperfektionen wie Einschlüsse oder Poren, von welchen Risse initiieren und sich ausbreiten, können als Ausgangsrissgröße aufgefasst werden. Im Teilprojekt A1 des Forschungsclusters IBESS wurden außere geometrische Imperfektionen an Schweißverbindungen ermittelt und statistisch ausgewertet. Des Weiteren wurden Schweißverbindungen fraktografisch im Rasterelektronenmikroskop (REM) bezüglich innerer geometrischer Imperfektionen untersucht, jedoch konnten aufgrund der hohen Schweißgütekeine schadigungsrelevanten inneren Imperfektionen (Ausgangsdefekte) detektiert werden. Um dennoch eine Ausgangsrisskonfiguration zu bestimmen, wurden "Heat-Tinting" Versuche eingesetzt, mit denen auf der Bruchflache verschiedene Anrissstadien markiert werden können. Mit dem .Heat-Tinting" Verfahren können sehr kleine Anrisse detektiert und in Abhangigkeit von der Beanspruchung frühe Anrisskonfigurationen ermittelt werden. Des Weiteren haben Zerbst und Madia im Teilprojekt A3 ein Modell entwickelt, mit dem für den Grundwerkstoff mittels zyklischer R-Kurven eine Ausgangsrissgröße rechnerisch ermittelt werden kann. Unter Verwendung der Ergebnisse aus den Versuchen zur Ermittlung der Anrissstadien soll dieses Modell validiert werden, um auch für Schweißverbindungen Anwendung zu finden.

T1 - IBESS: Integrale Bruchmechanische Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen - Eine Einführung N2 - Die Projektbezeichnung IBESS steht für .Integrale Bruchmechanische Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen". Ziel des von acht Partnern vorangetriebenen AiF-DFG-Forschungsclusters IBESS ist die Entwicklung eines Ansatzes zur bruchmechanischen Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen. Die Arbeiten umfassen grundlegende Untersuchungen zum Wachstum und Arrest kurzer Risse, zur Ausbildung und Beeinflussung von Schweißeigenspannungen unter zyklischer Last, zum Einfluss der lokalen Nahtgeometrie auf die Rissausbreitung, zum Mehrfachriss-Phänomen oberhalb des Dauerfestigkeitsniveaus sowie zum Koaleszenzverhalten benachbarter Risse. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse fließen in ein analytisches Modell zur Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit ein, das physikalisch begründete und mithin sehr viel individuellere Vorhersagen des Ermüdungsverhaltens von Schweißnähten ermöglichen soll, als das auf konventioneller Basis bislang möglich ist. Ein nicht geringer Teil der Aktivitäten des Clusters ist mit der Bereitstellung von Daten zur Validierung befasst. Diese wird auf verschiedenen Ebenen vorgenommen, von der Beschreibung des Wachstuns von Einzelrissen über ihr Zusammenwachsen bis hin zur kompletten Wöhlerkurve. Ziel dieses Vortrags ist ein kurzer Überblick über das IBESS-Gesamtprojekt, das dem Zuhörer eine Einordnung der im IBESS-Vortragsblock vorgestellten Einzelaktivitäten ermöglichen soll.

Its main advantages are high speed in manufacturing combined with low costs and, usually, a high degree of flexibility, integrity and reliability. Nevertheless, welding is a highly complex metallurgical process and, therefore, weldments are susceptible to material discontinuities, flaws and residual stresses which may lead to structural failure and life time reduction. As a consequence weldments are an important field of fracture mechanics methods although its application is more complex than for homogeneous or non-welded structures. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview on the current state of fracture mechanics application to weldments. It starts by discussing the specific features which any fracture mechanics analysis of weldments has to take into account. Then, the experimental determination of fracture toughness, fatigue crack propagation and tensile properties of weldments is addressed. Finally, the analytical determination of the crack driving force in components and structural integrity assessment approaches for weldments are presented.

These solutions were shown to provide more accurate crack driving force estimates than the conventional limit load solutions available in the literature, and the method behind them allowed for a wider application range. Within the present paper a methodology for the fracture analysis of thick-wall pressurized pipes using the R6 assessment method and considering both, biaxial and combined tension-bending loading is developed and validated. The analyses are carried out analytically, and the comparison between the predicted critical loads and experimental burst test failure loads shows satisfying agreement, this way demonstrating the potential of the proposed method.

Das ergibt sich im Vergleich mit Schwellenwerten, die man mit Anrissen erhält, die hinsichtlich der Ober- und der Unterlast komplett im Druckbereich erzeugt wurden. Dort, wo die Diskrepanz auftritt, verstärkt sie sich mit abnehmendem Spannungsverhältnis. ln der vorliegenden Studie wurden an einem mittel- und einem hochfesten Stahl bei unterschiedlichen Spannungsverhältnissen Schwellenwerte bestimmt. Anwendung fanden die konventionelle Lastabsenkungsmethode nach ASTM-Standard und ein Verfahren, bei dem der Langrissscbwellenwert als Endpunkt der sogenannten Zyklischen R-Kurve erhalten wird.

Here, an extension to materials that do not show large defects onto the fracture surfaces is provided. In such cases, an approach based on a so-called cyclic R-curve analysis is proposed for the determination of the initial flaw size, which has to be used in the calculation of fatigue crack propagation.

The approach includes (a) a concept for short crack propagation for which the common ΔK concept is not applicable and the crack closure effects are still being gradually build-up, (b) a method for determining fatigue life relevant initial crack sizes as they are needed in any fracture mechanics analysis and (c) multiple cracking and crack coalescence at load levels higher than the endurance limit. The analyses are stochastically performed. Both, the endurance limit and the finite life branch of the S-N curve are determined. Besides a brief introduction into the approach, validation examples are presented. These comprise different weldment types (butt welds, cross joints and longitudinal stiffened plates), two steels (S355NL and S960QL) of quite different strengths, different weld geometries due to different welding techniques (WIG, MAG), as-welded and stress relieved welds and different stress ratios varying from R = -1 to R = 0.5.

Some authors in the literature have shown that this issue can be solved by employing an approach based on critical distances, others used elastic fracture mechanics. In this paper the fatigue limit of notched specimens is given by the non-propagating condition of mechanically small surface cracks. According to the so-called cyclic R-curve method, the crack driving force of a growing small crack is compared to its resistance force, which incorporates the gradual build-up of crack closure. The fatigue limit is determined by that applied nominal stress, for which the tangency condition of crack driving and resistance force is satisfied. The approach has been modified to incorporate plasticity effects in the mechanically short crack Regime and it has been applied to a mild and a high-strength steel, in case of an infinite plate with circular hole under remote tensile stress. The method has been successfully applied to the evaluation of fatigue notch-sensitivity in case of surface roughness.

Werden in der Schwingfestigkeitsbewertung Gesamtlebensdauern ermittelt, so sind es in der Bruchmechanik Restlebensdauern bei Vorhandensein eines größeren, d.h., bereits zerstörungsfrei auffindbaren Risses. Daneben gibt es seit längerem Bestrebungen, bruchmechanische Ansätze auch für die Ermittlung der Gesamtlebensdauer fruchtbar zu machen. Der besondere Wert einer solchen Kombination besteht darin, dass die Bruchmechanik die explizite theoretische Behandlung von Eingangsparametern (Kerben, Oberflächenrauhigkeit, Mittelspannung, etc.) erlaubt, die in den konventionellen Ansätzen mit vergleichsweise hoher Ungenauigkeit halbempirisch einbezogen werden.

T1 - Fracture mechanics as a tool in failure analysis - Prospects and limitations N2 - Although fatigue crack propagation and fracture cause a large part of failure events in industrial practice, fracture mechanics in failure analysis seems to be still a side issue. Starting from an introduction into important basic questions of failure analysis and fracture mechanics, the authors specify what kind of questions in failure analysis can be effectively solved by fracture mechanics (and which can't). They illustrate their discussion with a number of 13 case studies from the literature. Much more pronounced than in the design stage the benefit of fracture mechanics in failure analysis depends on its accuracy. This is limited by both, intrinsic factors of the method and the availability and quality of the input information. The authors discuss the various aspects and provide the reader with some background information which, as they believe, will be helpful for better understanding the prospects and limitations of fracture mechanics in failure analysis and the conditions of its application.

The reference load is defined as that load at which the ligament yielding parameter Lr approaches one. F0, in general, varies along the crack front. It has to be obtained by finite element analyses but the results can be approximated by analytical expressions.

T1 - A model for the determination of the fatigue life in technical alloys containing large and small defects N2 - The determination of the fatigue life in technical alloys containing large and small defects must rely on a propagation model which accounts for short and long crack growth. Recently an analytical model which incorporates propagation in the short crack regime and plastic correction for the crack driving force has been presented by two of the authors. This work is intended to show further validation of the model, taking into account data sets for different materials with different testing conditions. Despite the assumptions about missing parameters, the value of which had to be taken from the literature, the predictions showed a fairly good approximation of the fatigue lives. A possible interpretation of the results in terms of multiple crack initiation and propagation at higher loads is proposed.

Dem vorliegenden Teilprojekt A3 kamen dabei zwei Aufgaben zu: die Entwicklung einer analytischen bruchmechanischen Methodik und die Koordinierung des insgesamt acht Partner umfassenden Clusters. Dieser Bericht fasst die Ergebnisse der erstgenannten Aufgabe zusammen. Die bruchmechanische Methode ist durch folgende Aspekte charakterisiert. (a) Sie beschreibt sowohl Kurz- als auch Langrisswachstum. Ersteres umfasst mechanisch und physikalisch kurze Risse. Mechanisch kurze Risse weisen Abmessungen in der Größenordnung der plastischen Zone auf, weshalb sie zwar bruchmechanisch, nicht jedoch auf der Basis des linear-elastischen K-Konzepts charakterisiert werden können. Im Projekt wurde entsprechend eine Methode zur Bestimmung eines „plastizitätskorrigierten“ zyklischen K-Faktors entwickelt, die auf dem zyklischen J-Integral beruht. Physikalisch kurz bedeutet, dass die Rissschließeffekte im Ausgangsstadium der Rissentwicklung zunächst noch nicht vorhanden sind, dann jedoch graduell aufgebaut werden, bis sie mit Erreichen des Langrissstadiums eine risstiefenunabhängig konstante Größe erreichen. Beschrieben wird dieser Effekt durch die Anwendung der sogenannten zyklischen R-Kurve, der Funktion des Schwellenwerts gegen Rissausbreitung von der Risstiefe. Mittels Rissarrestbetrachtungen des kurzen Risses werden (b) die Ausgangsrissgröße für die weitere Bruchmechanikanalyse und (c) die für N = 107 definierte Dauerfestigkeit der Bauteile bestimmt. Die Analyse erfolgt (d) statistisch, Schwankungen der lokalen Nahtgeometrie entlang des Nahtübergangs über ein Modell äquidistanter Abschnitte einbezogen werden. (e) Eigenspannungen werden sowohl im unbehandelten Schweißzustand als auch nach zyklischer Belastung berücksichtigt. Das Modell wird an insgesamt 33 Wöhlerkurven validiert, die an drei Schweißverbindungsformen (Stumpfstoß, Kreuzstoß, Längssteife) mit je zwei unterschiedlichen Ausführungen, zwei Werkstoffen (S355NL und S960QL), sowie im spannungsarmgeglühten und ungeglühten Zustand experimentell ermittelt wurden.

In the present second part, one focus is on welding residual stresses, their characteristics and stability under cyclic loading and their effect on structural integrity. Subsequently, features will be addressed which are essential for applying fracture mechanics to overall fatigue life and fatigue strength considerations of weldments.

This, of course, cannot be exhaustive but is limited to butt and fillet welds with crack initiation at weld toes. In the present first pari, the authors briefly focus on the susceptibility of welds to cracks and other defects. Following this, they discuss in more detail the consequences of material inhomogeneity across the weld for fracture mechanics. Inhomogeneity causes scatter in fracture toughness and strength mis-match effects which both have to be considered in fracture toughness testing, crack driving force determination and fracture assessment of welded components. Part 2 of the paper series will add a discussion of welding residual stresses and questions of applying fracture mechanics to residual as well as total lifetime estimation of welds under cyclic loading.

These comprise the determination of the cyclic crack driving force for all stages of fatigue crack propagation, in particular for the short crack stage where the crack driving force has to be determined for elastic-plastic deformation and the gradual build-up of the crack closure phenomenon. Special emphasis is put on a fatigue damage relevant specification of the initial crack size. Different approaches in the literature are discussed. Another important aspect is the adequate treatment of multiple crack propagation. Finally, the discussion is illustrated by an example of a butt weld made of a medium strength steel.

T1 - Damage tolerant design of additively manufactured metallic components subjected to cyclic loading: State of the art and challenges N2 - This article is an outcome of a workshop on Fatigue of Additive Manufactured Metallic Components jointly organized by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) Berlin, Germany and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder, CO, U.S.A. The aim of the workshop was a comprehensive discussion of the specific aspects of additively manufactured (AM) components in regard to failure under cyclic loading. Undoubtedly, a better understanding and the further development of approaches for damage tolerant component design of AM parts are among the most significant challenges currently facing the use of these new technologies. This article presents a thorough overview of the workshop discussions. It aims to provide a review of the parameters affecting the damage tolerance of AM parts with special emphasis on the process parameters intrinsic to the AM technologies, the resulting defects and residual stresses. Based on these aspects, concepts for damage tolerant component design for AM are reviewed and critically discussed.

The approach includes (a) a concept for short crack propagation for which the common K concept is not applicable and the crack closure effects are still being gradually build-up, (b) a method for determining fatigue life relevant initial crack sizes as they are needed in any fracture mechanics analysis and (c) multiple cracking and crack coalescence at load levels higher than the endurance limit. The analyses are stochastically performed. Both, the endurance limit as defined for 107 loading cycles and the finite life branch of the S-N curve are determined. Besides a brief introduction into the approach, a wide range of validation examples is presented. These comprise different weldment types (butt welds, cross joints and longitudinal stiffened plates), two steels of quite different strengths, different weld geometries due to different welding techniques (TIG, MAG), as-welded and stress relieved welds and different stress ratios varying from R = -1 to R = 0.5.

T1 - Fatigue strength and fracture mechanics N2 - If fracture mechanics shall be applied to the total lifetime respectively the fatigue limit of components (within the meaning of the S-N curve approach) it has to address four challenges: (a) It has to adequately describe so-called short crack propagation, which cannot be based on the common long crack concepts for principle reasons. Since the crack size is in the order of the plastic zone size, the modelling of short crack propagation cannot be based on the common linear elastic Delta K concept. Instead, an elastic-plastic parameter such as the cyclic J integral has to be applied. A second point is that the crack closure concept has to be modified in that the crack opening stress is not a constant, crack size- independent parameter but shows a transient behaviour with increasing short crack size. (b) It has to provide a meaningful definition of the initial crack dimensions as the starting point for an S-N curve relevant (residual) lifetime analysis. This can be based either on the (statistical) size of material defects which can be treated as cracks or by the size of the crack which would arrest subsequent to early crack propagation, whatever is larger. (c) It has to cope with the problem of multiple cracks for load levels higher than the fatigue limit such as it occurs in many applications in the absence of very large initial defects.

The J- or ΔJ-integral is calculated based on analytical solutions for stress intensity factors, estimated by means of well-known weight function solutions in the case of cracks under power-law stress distributions. A plasticity-correction function is applied to the stress intensity factors to obtain the final expression of the crack driving force. The comparison between analytical solutions and finite element calculations in case of cracks at the weld toe in welded joints shows good agreement.

T1 - The IBESS model – Elements, realisation and validation N2 - The work presents the procedure developed within the German research project IBESS, which allows for the fracture mechanics-based prediction of the fatigue strength of welded joints under constant amplitude loading. Based on the experimental observations of the crucial failure mechanisms, the approach focuses on the short crack propagation, where elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and the build-up of closure effects must be considered as well as the variability of the local geometry at the weld toe and the modelling of multiple crack interaction. Analytical solutions are provided for the approximation of the through-thickness stress profiles at the weld toe and for the determination of the crack driving force in the form of a plasticity-corrected stress intensity factor range ∆K_p. Proposals for the determination of the initial crack size and the crack closure factor are also included. The approach is validated against a large number of experimental data, which comprises fatigue tests on individual cracks monitored by heat tinting and beach-marking techniques, as well as stress life curves. Three kinds of welded joints, two steels of significant different strengths and three stress ratios are considered. The results show that the procedure provides good estimations of the statistical distribution of the fatigue strength of welded joints both for the finite and infinite life regime. Furthermore, the predictions are compared with available benchmark data for structural steels.

Material aspects N2 - Any fracture mechanics based determination of the fatigue strength of weldments requires different input information such as the local weld geometry and material data of the areas the crack is passing through during its propagation. The latter is so far not a trivial task as the fatigue crack is usually initiated at the weld toe at the transition from the weld metal to the heat affected zone and it subsequently propagates through the different microstructures of the latter to eventually grow into the base material and to cause final fracture. This paper describes how the material input information has gained particularly for heat affected zone material by thermo-mechanically simulated material specimens for two steels of quite different static strength. The data comprise the cyclic stress-strain curve, the crack closure effect-corrected crack growth characteristics, long crack fatigue crack propagation thresholds, the dependency of the parameter on the crack length and monotonic fracture resistance. The substantial experimental effort was necessary for the validation exercises of the IBESS approach, however, within the scope of practical application more easily applicable estimating methods are required. For that purpose the paper provides a number of appropriate proposals in line with its check against the reference data from the elaborate analyses.

Its adequate determination is of paramount importance. However, notwithstanding this relevance, no test guideline is available by now and only very few institutions have spent research effort on cyclic R curves so far. The aim of the present paper is to give an overview on the state-of-the-art.

T1 - Cyclic J-integral: Numerical and analytical investigations for surface cracks in weldments N2 - The cyclic J-integral (∆J-integral) is a crack tip parameter of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics which can be used as governing parameter for the description of fatigue crack growth (FCG) in metallic structures. In this contribution, it is applied for modelling FCG in weldments. The ∆J-integral is determined by means of analytical approximation formulas as well as numerical methods. An analytical solution, which takes into account effects of the local ligament plasticity, was derived. This solution is based on well established methods such as R6, BS7910 and SINTAP which were modified for cyclic loading. It incorporates methods for the description of short crack closure behaviour as well as the well known analytical (long) crack closure function of Newman. A specific code was written to evaluate the ∆J-integral numerically in the course of finite element based crack growth simulations. The code was first validated for an infinite plate with centre crack by applying elastic and elastic-plastic material behaviour. Next, the ∆J-integral was calculated for cracks in various butt and cruciform welded joints. The results were compared with the results of the derived analytical approximation formula. A good accordance was achieved between the results.

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 - Welding residual stresses as needed for the prediction of fatigue crack propagation and fatigue strength N2 - Welding residual stresses have an impact on the performance of welded structures, on their fracture resistance, their resistance against fatigue crack propagation and, most important, their fatigue strength and fatigue lifetime. The present paper provides an overview on the issue mainly from the point of view of the application of fracture mechanics to the determination of the fatigue strength as the topic of this Special issue. Besides own experimental and theoretical data a comprehensive discussion is provided in that context which includes the definition and interaction of short- and long-range (or reaction) residual stresses, the effect of cyclic mechanical loading and its treatment in fracture and fatigue analyses.

A1 - Beier, T. T1 - Fatigue strength and fracture mechanics - A general perspective N2 - Common fracture mechanics based fatigue considerations are usually limited to the residual lifetime determination of so-called long cracks. The extension of this concept to the total lifetime, as in the S-N curve approach, requires an adequate description of short crack propagation which cannot be based on the Delta K concept, and it must consider the crack closure phenomenon as well as its gradual build-up at the short crack stage. Further, it has to provide a meaningful definition of initial crack dimensions and a solution for the multiple crack problem at stress levels higher than the fatigue limit as it is specific for some configurations such as weldments. This paper aims at a discussion of all these points and offers possible solutions which are illustrated by examples taken from the German IBESS project on fracture mechanics based determination of the fatigue strength of weldments, the results of which will be discussed in more detail in this Special issue.

The authors present an analytical solution of a Delta J based crack driving force based on an R6 type approach but modified for cyclic loading. The gradual build-up of the crack closure effect is modelled by the so-called cyclic R curve which describes the crack size dependency of the fatigue crack propagation threshold in the short crack regime. It is explained how the cyclic R curve is experimentally determined and how it can be estimated by a modified Kitagawa-Takahashi approach.

Bei Spannungsverhältnissen R = omin/omax < ca. 0,7 erhöht sich der Schwellenwert AKltl ausgehend von einer intrinsischen, werkstoffspezifischen Untergrenze mit zunehmender Risstiefe, bis er einen risslängenunabhängigen Wert erreicht. Ursache ist der graduelle Aufbau unterschiedlicher Rissschließeffekte. Die besondere Bedeutung des Kurzrisswachtums allgemein und der zyklischen R-Kurve speziell besteht darin, dass sie ein physikalisches Bindeglied zwischen der konventionellen Schwingfestigkeit (Wöhlerkurve) und der Bruchmechanik repräsentieren. Der Beitrag befasst sich sowohl mit der experimentellen Ermittlung der zyklischen R-Kurve als auch mit ihrer Anwendung auf Rissarrest im Zusammenhang mit Schwingfestigkeitsbetrachtungen. Die experimentelle Ermittlung der zyklischen R-Kurve erfordert einen experimentellen Aufwand, der deutlich über den der Langrissbruchmechanik hinausgeht. Insbesondere im Anfangsbereich ist eine sehr genaue Messung der Risstiefe erforderlich, was eine Verbesserung etwa der konventionellen Potentialmethode erforderlich macht. Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist auch, dass der Ausgangsriss vor Beginn des eigentlichen Versuchs keine Rissschließeffekte gesehen haben darf. Realisiert wird das durch eine vorgeschaltete Phase von sog. „Compression Pre-cracking“, d.h. durch Anschwingen komplett im Druckbereich.

Als weiterer Faktor kommen Schweißeigenspannungen hinzu, bei denen für die bruchmechanische Analyse eine Fallunterscheidung in primäre und sekundäre Eigenspannungen vorgenommen werden muss.

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.

The actual part qualification and certification procedures make use of spin-tests conducted on production-similar disks. While these tests provide, on the one hand, a reliable definition of the critical conditions for real components, on the other hand they represent a relevant cost item for engine manufacturers. The aim of this work is to present two alternative burst speed assessment methods under development based on the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) and a global stability criterion, respectively. In the scope of the fracture mechanics assessment, the failure modes hoop-burst and rim-peeling are investigated with semicircular surface cracks modelled at the critical regions on the turbine disk. The comparison of the predicted critical rotational speed shows good agreement between the assessment methods.

T1 - Knowledge gaps in fitness-for-service assessment procedures; summary of the 2nd ‘mind the gap’ workshop N2 - In 2015, the University of Manchester hosted a workshop (‘Mind the Gap’) aimed at identifying gaps in a number of structural integrity fitness-for-service procedures, including R5, R6, BS 7910 and API/ASME. The findings were subsequently summarised in a journal paper and shared with the relevant stakeholders. A second workshop, this time hosted by the University of Bristol in 2017, was intended to build on the findings of the earlier event, identifying which gaps had been filled, which remain and whether new ones have been identified in the meantime. ‘Mind the Gap 2’ was wide-ranging, including consideration of failure by fracture, fatigue crack growth, hightemperature creep and environmentally assisted crack growth, along with the use of innovative techniques to follow the progress of crack growth from the atomic to the macroscopic scale. A summary of the whole event is thus outside the scope of a single paper, so here we concentrate mainly on advances in fracture assessment, on the interface between inspection and ECA, and on how developments are being incorporated into structural integrity procedures. There is a particular emphasis on the energy transition in the UK, where the planned energy mix will include both nuclear power and offshore wind.

To overcome issues related to the precise consideration of the crack-closure effects on experimental data obtained at small R ratios, closure-free data have been obtained at R ≈ 0.8 by different experimental procedures. The statistical analysis of the intrinsic fatigue crack propagation threshold obtained experimentally has shown a small data scatter and good agreement between procedures. When compared with effective values obtained from analytical corrections of closure-affected data, the data obtained at R ≈ 0.8 should lead to a conservative life estimation.

A. T1 - Ermittlung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts und dessen Validierung als Werkstoffparameter N2 - Die Anwendung bruchmechanischer Methoden zur schadenstoleranten Bauteilauslegung ist für zyklische Lasten im Bereich der Paris-Geraden Stand der Technik. Technisch relevant sind jedoch häufig geringere Lasten im Schwellenwertbereich der d𝑎/d𝑁-Δ𝐾-Kurve. Aufgrund des großen Einflusses von Rissschließeffekten ist dessen Bestimmung jedoch nicht nur aufwändig, sondern auch potenziell fehlerbehaftet. Die Bauteilauslegung erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise auf der Basis effektiver, d. h. rissschließkorrigierter Rissfortschrittsdaten. Von großer Bedeutung ist auch der intrinsische Schwellenwert, unterhalb dessen keine Risserweiterung mehr eintritt. In diesem Forschungsprojekt erfolgte eine Untersuchung des Einflusses verschiedener Prüfverfahren und Umgebungsbedingungen auf die Ermittlung des Schwellenwerts gegen Ermüdungsrissausbreitung Δ𝐾th. Es wurden statistisch abgesicherte Empfehlungen zur experimentellen Ermittlung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts Δ𝐾th,eff abgeleitet. Dieser dient auch als Eingangsparameter einer weiterentwickelten Prozedur zur Bauteilauslegung auf der Basis bei einem Lastverhältnis von 𝑅 ≈ 0,8 ermittelter, effektiver, Rissfortschrittsdaten. Es zeigte sich, dass die bei einem Lastverhältnis von 𝑅 ≈ 0,8 in Laborluft bei höherer Prüffrequenzen (≥90 Hz) ermittelten Schwellenwerte eine konservative Abschätzung des intrinsischen Schwellenwerts erlaubten. Bei Lastverhältnissen 𝑅 ≪ 0,8 wurde ein teilweise stark ausgeprägter Einfluss extrinsischer Effekte auf das Rissfortschrittsverhalten festgestellt. Eine Untersuchung der Bruchflächen ergab Oxidschichtdicken in der Größenordnung mehrerer hundert Nanometer. Bei Reduktion der Prüffrequenz auf ≈55 Hz und Prüfung in feuchter Luft (60 % r.F. und 80 % r.F.) konnte auch bei 𝑅 = 0,8 Rissschließen beobachtet werden. Die weiterentwickelte Prozedur zur Bauteilauslegung auf Basis effektiver Rissfortschrittsdaten lieferte aber stets konservative Ergebnisse in einem tolerierbaren Fehlerbereich und ist deshalb zur Anwendung geeignet. Die im Projekt gewonnenen Erkenntnisse tragen zu einer robusten Bauteilauslegung auf bruchmechanischer Basis bei. Der stark reduzierte Versuchsumfang bei Nutzung effektiver Rissfortschrittsdaten gegenüber der Ermittlung von spannungsverhältnisabhängigen Rissfortschrittskurven beschleunigt und vereinfacht die Bauteilauslegung auf Basis bruchmechanischer Methoden.

The actual part qualification and certification procedures make use of spin-tests conducted on production-similar disks. The aim of this work is to present part of a fracture mechanics-based procedure under development which aims at replacing the tests on production-similar disks with lab tests on fracture mechanics specimens. The finite element simulation of the cracked disk considers the real thermal and mechanical loading conditions. In order to design a lab representative specimen, beside the crack driving force, expressed in terms of 𝐽-integral, also the constraint to plastic deformation e.g., stress triaxiality, at the crack-tip must be similar for the same crack in the specimen and in the disk. This has been achieved and as expected, both the highest 𝐽 -integral and constraint factor are calculated at the same location along the crack front for both disk and specimen. The results of the structural integrity assessment in the form of a Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) show good agreement between designed specimen and disk both in terms of expected failure mode and value of the critical speed. In addition, probabilistic aspects are also considered in the calculations. T2 - 43rd Int.

T1 - Defects as a root cause of fatigue failure of metallic components. I: Basic aspects N2 - According to the definition of the ASM handbook [1,3], a defect is "an imperfection. that can be shown to cause failure by a quantitative analysis and that would not have occurred in the absence of the imperfection". The topic of the present three-part review is a discussion of defects which can cause failure in cyclically loaded structures. The features discussed comprise material defects such as non-metallic inclusions, pores or micro-shrinkages, etc. and geometric defects such as surface roughness and secondary notches which have their origin in manufacturing, and defects such as surface damage due to scratches, impact events or contact fatigue as well as corrosion pits which arise in service. In this first part, the discussion is prefaced by an introduction to basic aspects which are essential for a deeper understanding of the characteristics and mechanisms how the defects influence fatigue crack initiation and propagation. These include the life cycle of a fatigue crack from initiation up to fracture, crack arrest, multiple crack initiation and coalescence, and the material and geometrical properties affecting these.

Topics addressed are the different kinds of inclusions formed during the manufacturing process, various types of mis-match causing local stresses and, as a consequence, fatigue crack initiation, and effects of characteristics such as size, morphology, localization, spatial distribution and orientation of the defects on the fatigue behavior. Methods for inclusion counting and sizing are discussed along with statistical aspects necessary to be considered when evaluating structural components.
