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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The statistical analysis of the intrinsic fatigue crack propagation threshold obtained experimentally has shown a small data scatter and good agreement between procedures.

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.

Chapetti’s and IBESS models were implemented in combination with Murakami’s √area parameter, considering recently published data on laser powder bed fusion processed AISI 316L stainless steels. Estimated S-N curves and Kitagawa-Takahashi diagrams predict fairly well the experimental data, especially the origin of the failure from internal or surface defects. These results provide an indication that the methods based on the cyclic R-curve constitute suitable tools for fatigue behavior assessment of AM materials.

T1 - Determination of fatigue crack propagation thresholds for steel in presence of environmental effects N2 - The experimental determination of the resistance to fatigue crack propagation in steel, particularly in the socalled near-threshold regime, is a crucial issue for safety-relevant components which are designed to operate for a large number of loading cycles before undergoing periodic inspections. This work summarizes the most relevant results of extensive experimental campaigns conducted at BAM and IPM over the last years, which have been devoted to the determination of fatigue crack propagation characteristics on medium and high strength steels. The influence of environment, oxide-induced crack closure and test methodologies in the near-threshold regime are discussed.
