TY - CONF A1 - Schöne, Dieter A1 - Zerbst, Uwe A1 - Madia, Mauro T1 - Experimentelle Ermittlung des Schwellenwertes DeltaKth mittels unterschiedlicher Methoden und für verschiedene Spannungsverhältnisse N2 - ln den letzten Jahren hat sich gezeigt, dass die Ermittlung des Schwellenwertes DeltaKth nach den bestehenden Standardvorschriften für verschiedene Materialien zu nichtkonservativen Werten führt. 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. Dieses folgt im Wesentlichen der von Pippan et al. entwickelten Methode, ergänzt diese jedoch durch eine eigene Verfahrensvariante. T2 - 47.

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 principle is explained and demonstrated by a first application to a welded joint.

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. Der Beitrag stellt einen von den Autoren entwickelten bruchmechanischen Ansatz zur Ermittlung von Wöhlerkurven vor, der eine Reihe innovativer Merkmale wie die Anwendung der elastischplastischen Bruchmechanik auf kurze Risse, die Ermittlung der Ausgangsrissgröße aus Rissarrestbetrachtungen, die Beschreibung der transienten Entwicklung des Rissschließeffekts mit Hilfe zyklischer R-Kurven (Risslängenabhängigkeit des Schwellenwertes von der Risstiefe), die theoretische Erfassung von Mehrfachrisswachstum bei Lastniveaus oberhalb der Dauerfestigkeit und statistische Aspekte umfasst. Das diskutierte Beispiel ist eine Schweißverbindung (Stumpfnaht) und wurde im Rahmen des laufenden Cluster-Projektes IBESS (Integrale bruchmechanische Ermittlung der Schwingfestigkeit von Schweißverbindungen) generiert.

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.

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.

In a number of previous papers two of the present authors proposed the use of a reference load instead of the common limit load, which not only provided more exact fracture mechanics predictions, but showed also a wider and more general application range than the conventional parameter. Here the method has been extended to biaxial tensile loading and it has been successfully validated by a thorough comparison with finite element results and alternative solutions available in the literature.

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.

A1 - Klingbeil, Dietmar T1 - Review on fracture and crack propagation in weldments - A fracture mechanics perspective N2 - Welding is one of the most common methods in industrial practice for joining components. 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.

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.
