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 and test parameters 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.

A. T1 - Robust Determination of Fatigue Crack Propagation Thresholds from Crack Growth Data N2 - To assess the ability of cracks to grow, a robust determination of the threshold against fatigue crack propagation ∆Kth is of paramount importance. The standards ASTM E647 and ISO 12108 introduce operational definitions of ∆Kth based on the crack propagation rate da/dN. For evaluating ∆Kth, both suggest fitting a linear function to a defined subset of the logarithmic ∆K – da/dN test data, where ∆Kth follows by evaluating the linear function at da/dN = 10-7 mm/cycle and da/dN = 10-8 mm/cycle, respectively. In general, this kind of fit suffers from a bad representation of the actual curvature of the crack propagation curve. Therefore, we propose a robust method for evaluating ∆Kth using a non-linear function that 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. The method is calibrated against a large set of S690QL crack growth data obtained from a total of 48 specimens, and validated against a set of S355NL and S960QL data (3 specimens each), obtained as a part the IBESS (integral fracture mechanics determination of the fatigue strength of welds) project.

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.

Cadmium stencils were placed around the samples to shield the scintillator from excessive neutron radiation and to investigate the influence of the backlight effect. The contribution of scattered neutrons to the total detected intensity was investigated by additionally varying the sample-detector distance and applying a functional correlation between distance and intensity. Furthermore, the influence of the surface roughness on the edge effect due to refraction was investigated.

Damage tolerant approaches based on the principles of Fracture Mechanics have been shown to play a key role in this framework, as the fatigue limit is defined by the non-propagating condition of multiple defects at the weld toe. The fatigue limit assessment can be performed using the cyclic R-curve analysis which consists in comparing the driving force of a crack propagating into a component, which depends on the geometry, material and external loads, with its resistance curve, i.e. the cyclic R-curve. The crack propagation occurs whenever the crack driving force is higher than the resistance to fatigue crack propagation, while the crack is arrested in the opposite case. Consequently, this suggests that the fatigue limit of a component is defined as that stress level at which the crack driving force curve is tangent to the crack resistance curve. In the present work, the cyclic R-curve analysis has been adopted for determining the fatigue limit of stress-relieved transverse non-load-carrying joints made of S355 structural steel and subjected to fatigue axial loadings. Experimental tests have been performed to evaluate the fatigue limit of the joints. The driving force, identified by the applied Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), has been evaluated by means of linear elastic finite element analysis taking advantage of the Peak Stress Method for its rapid estimation. Based on the experimental observations that the crack initiation and early crack growth phases in welded joints occur within the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) the cyclic R-curve has been experimentally derived for both the base metal and HAZ material.

The aim of this work is to present part of a fracture mechanics-based probabilistic assessment procedure under development which aims at calculating the critical rotational speed of the turbine disk based on the numerical-analytical solutions and regulations for the failure probability. In particular, the rim-peeling 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. 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. The analytical solutions to calculate the crack driving force for the lab representative specimen are used for the Monte Carlo simulations, the result of which has been assessed in the form of a Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD). The results of the probabilistic structural integrity assessment show good agreement between Monte Carlo simulations and certification values for the disk in terms of expected failure mode and value of the critical speed.

The number of input data depends essentially on the complexity of the models employed and on the level of accuracy of the analysis. It is common practice to use safety factors in design to account for the scatter of the input parameters. Nevertheless, overly-conservative factors lead often to unrealistic estimations of fatigue life. This work presents a fracture mechanics-based model for the structural integrity assessment of welded joints under constant amplitude fatigue loading, in which the local geometry at the weld toe and the fatigue crack growth properties are considered statistically distributed. The approach is validated against a large number of experimental data.

Mit Fokus auf das In-situ Kugelstrahlen, zur Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften, wurden quasi-statische Zugversuche und einachsige Zeitfestigkeitsversuche durchgeführt. Im Ergebnis zeigte sich die Verbesserung der Adhäsion zwischen Grundwerkstoff und aufgebrachten Material als entscheidendes Kriterium für eine erfolgreiche Anwendung.

Proben dieser Geometrie wurden vom Kooperationspartner im geschweißten bzw. geschweißten und spannungsarmgeglühten Zustand bereitgestellt. An der BAM wurden je Wärmebehandlungszustand mittels Senkerodieren zwei verschiedene künstliche Defektgeometrien im Schweißnahtübergang eingebracht. Anhand der Proben wurden experimentell für alle vier Probenzustände Wöhlerlinien für ein Spannungsverhältnis von R = 0,1 ermittelt. Zusätzlich wurde das u.a. an der BAM entwickelte IBESS-Verfahren angewandt, um die Wöhlerlinien analytisch zu bestimmen. Hierbei wurde eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung von Berechnung und Experiment erreicht, wobei die Berechnung zu einer leicht konservativen Lebensdauervorhersage führte. T2 - 56.
