Two of the authors of the present paper proposed a definition of a reference load F0 which can be used as an alternative option to the common limit load for cases where the definition of the latter might be problematic in the frame of flaw assessment procedures such as R6, BS 7910, SINTAP or FITNET. 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. In a previous study of the authors such a solution was presented for tension loaded plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks. In the present paper it is extended to pure bending and to combined bending and tension.
An analytical fracture mechanics model for predicting the finite life fatigue strength of components is
presented which combines a number of well established and newly developed approaches such as
Murakami's and McEvily's approach for describing the transient behaviour of crack closure of short
cracks, the analytical (long) crack closure function of Newman which became part of the widely used
NASGRO approach, the R6 procedure, a method for improving the ligament yielding correction f(Lr ) of
R6 proposed by the authors of the present paper and other elements. Basic assumption is the preexistence
of initial flaws such that the crack initiation or nucleation stage is small and can be neglected.
The application of the model is demonstrated for small tension plates of aluminium Al 5380 H321 with
artificial initial defects generated by FIB technology, the size of which was fixed on the basis of
fractographic investigations on broken, smooth specimens.
The net section limit load FY necessary for assessment at static loading is a key input for the accuracy of any elasticplastic 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. Further, 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 the European SINTAP and FITNET methods. 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.
In the approval procedure of transport packages for radioactive materials, the mechanical and thermal safety assessment is carried out in Germany by competent authority BAM. 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.
