However, it is still not fully clear how the impact energy from sub-sized specimens can be used to evaluate the fracture resistance of the pipes and how this energy correlates to the one from the full-sized specimen. Although different empirical correlations between sub-sized and full-sized specimens exist in the literature their validity is questionable since they are based on the results for older generation of steels. In the recent years the application of damage mechanics models has been promoted to assess the fracture behavior and deformation capacity of pipelines. The main advantage of these models can be found in their capability to link the damage evolution and the underlying stress/strain condition.

Within the damage mechanics approach, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model is considered to be adequate for the simulation of ductile fracture. For brittle fracture, GTN model is extended by a propagation criterion which examines if the cleavage fracture stress is reached by the maximal principal stresses. The model parameters are calibrated and verified by means of load-displacement curves obtained from instrumented impact tests on different sized CVN specimens.

While the adjustment of process parameters allows for optimized design of microstructure, safe installation and operation of these pipes for long distance, gas transmission pipelines require a detailed knowledge and characterization of their deformation and fracture performance for specific application. Although the influence of texture on the material properties can be qualitatively estimated, a quantitative link between the microstructural constituents and mechanical behavior is still missing. This paper aims to present the procedure for the development of microstructure-based model to quantitatively describe the mechanical behavior of bainitic X80 pipeline steel. In the first step, the metallographic analysis is conducted to identify the microstructural characteristics, such as volume fractions of microstructure constituents (granular and lower bainite, M-A phase) and their distributions. The strength properties in terms of flow curves are determined by tensile tests on mini-flat and round bar specimens with different sizes. Subsequently, a 2D three-phase model is developed based on the results from the quantitative analyses of microstructure with each phase modeled using the von-Mises plasticity theory. The flow curves of single phases are estimated by considering experimental findings, the chemical composition and microstructural description of each phase. This 2D FE model is then applied to predict ielding and hardening behavior. In addition to the 2D three-phase model, a 3D two-phase model is developed for the purposes of exploring the viability of using a spectral solver to analyze X80 synthetic microstructures. Here, the FFT-based approach is compared against the crystal-plastic finite-element method.

The yet available crack arrest criterion, known as the Battelle Two-Curve Method (BTCM), leads to reliable predictions up to grade X70 line pipe steels for which it has been validated. This includes specific limits in terms of mechanical properties, pressure and geometry. The application of this criterion to modern pipeline steels, i.e. especially grades X80 and beyond in combination with larger diameters and high pressure, has led to mispredictions of the BTCM. Hence, in order to ensure safe design of pipelines, new methods are required based on in depth knowledge and appropriate characterization of material resistance. This paper presents a procedure for the assessment of dynamic ductile fracture resistance based on combined experimental and numerical investigations. The procedure involves quasi-static and dynamic drop- weight tear testing (DWTT) on modified specimens with pre-fatigued crack for grades X65, X80 and X100 materials, and the application of cohesive zone (CZ) and Gurson-Tveergard-Needleman (GTN) models to describe ductile material damage. The damage model parameters are calibrated on basis of DWTT results and subsequently used to simulate dynamic crack propagation in a pipeline. The influence of material properties (strain hardening, toughness), pipe geometry, usage factor and decompression behaviour on ductile fracture propagation behaviour is studied and evaluated.

A damage mechanics approach has found to be a very promising tool in supporting the experimental characterization of ductile fracture propagation. The major advantage of this approach lies in the consideration of the influence of local stress and strain variables on the damage evolution and thus its capability to describe the fracture resistance of the pipelines with different stress triaxiality level by using the same set of parameters. However, the wider application of this approach has been limited due to the issues such as reliable determination of input parameters and required material properties, mesh size dependence, etc.. The objective of this paper is to characterize dynamic ductile fracture resistance of X65 and X80 pipeline materials and to demonstrate the potential of damage mechanics approach for the simulation of dynamic fracture propagation by using two damage models: (1) Cohesive Zone (CZ) model and (2) Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model. In the first step, results from quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests are used to describe plasticity in terms of flow curves. The calibration of input parameters for both models is performed by using the load-deformation curves from quasi-static tests on non-standard drop-weight tear (DWT) specimens with pre-fatigued crack. b. In the next step, estimated damage model parameters are verified by means of the dynamic tests on the pressed and Chevron notch DWT specimens. Different amounts of crack growth are established by varying the drop height. The experimental fracture resistance is quantified in terms of J-integral at specific crack length. The numerical results are evaluated with respect to global load-deformation and fracture resistance behavior.

The mechanical behavior of these structures is typically different from those of flat laminated structures due to an alternating lay-up sequence, winding tension and manufacturing induced imperfections. However, design and analysis issues require the same engineering data as used for laminated structures in general. It has therefore become necessary to establish an accompanying quality assurance procedure following the production process to identify the material properties of the manufactured tubes especially for the single layer. Consequently, there are three different approaches of determining the elastic moduli and tensile strengths of a filament wound laminate. Either specimens are resected from a curved tube, from a tube with plane areas or standardized flat specimens are manufactured under deviating production conditions. All approaches entail disadvantages, whether in terms of manufacturing or testing parameters including geometry, lay-up sequence, porosity, fiber tension and load direction. This study presents the discrepancies in the determination of mechanical properties of a filament wound glass-fiber-reinforced polymer tube on curved or cylindrical specimens and flat specimens produced to meet the specifications of international standards. In order to obtain material properties not only in longitudinal but also in transverse direction of the tubes, the so-called split-disk tensile test modeled after ASTM Standard D 2290, is used with tube segments.The procedures of specimen production and preparation are described in detail. Material properties such as the fiber volume and void content of the composite specimens are conducted in order to consider quality and production differences.

It has been shown that toughness values of HAZ obtained from standard fracture mechanics tests lead to uneconomic linepipe design for two reasons. The first reason is that laboratory specimens with higher constraint level generally exhibit lower fracture resistance compared to flawed linepipes. The second one has to do with a higher probability of cleavage failure occurrence in the laboratory specimen than in the linepipes due to larger areas of lower toughness (so called local brittle zones (LBZ)) intersected by crack front. In recent years numerous studies have been initiated with the objective to quantify the constraint level and thus to allow for less conservative linepipe safety assessment by applying constraint corrected toughness values. However, the main focus of these studies has hitherto been on the homogeneous materials, failing to account for the possible effects of different microstructures within the heterogeneous HAZ. This paper seeks to close this gap by reporting on results from tests on fracture mechanics specimens of a high strength X80 steel, i.e. SENB and SENT specimens as well as results from ring expansion tests. Both, deep and shallow cracks are inserted in the fracture mechanics specimens and rings targeting the fusion line (FL). By varying the initial crack size and sample type, different constraint levels are achieved and subsequently quantified using numerical methods. Besides constraint observations, post metallographic analyses are performed to identify exact HAZ microstructure involved at the crack tip. Finally, the influence of HAZ properties, flaw size and geometry on the failure behaviour of the linepipes has been demonstrated and assessed. Based on the combination of the results from constraint studies and the post metallographic analyses, the methodology is proposed which enables simple quantitative prediction of toughness values for safe and economic design of linepipes with flaws located in HAZ.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KarbasianGrossWeegeNonnetal., author = {Karbasian, H. and Groß-Weege, J. and Nonn, Aida and Zimmermann, S. and Kalwa, Christoph}, title = {Assessment of collapse resistance of UOE pipes - comparison of full-scale and ring collapse tests}, series = {Proceedings of the 10th International Pipeline Conference 2014 (IPC 2014), September 29 - October 3, 2014, Calgary, Alberta, Canada}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 10th International Pipeline Conference 2014 (IPC 2014), September 29 - October 3, 2014, Calgary, Alberta, Canada}, language = {en} } @techreport{PutzerRasmussenEhrlichetal., author = {Putzer, Michael and Rasmussen, John and Ehrlich, Ingo and Gebbeken, Norbert and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Muskuloskelettale Simulation zur Untersuchung des Einflusses geometrischer Parameter der Wirbelk{\"o}rper auf die Belastung der Lendenwirbels{\"a}ule}, series = {Forschungsbericht 2013 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, journal = {Forschungsbericht 2013 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, address = {Regensburg}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, pages = {60 -- 61}, language = {de} } @techreport{PongratzEhrlich, author = {Pongratz, Christian and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {DampSIM: Lebensdauer{\"u}berwachung von faserverst{\"a}rkten Kunststoffen auf Basis der strukurdynamischen Werkstoffd{\"a}mpfung}, series = {Forschungsbericht 2017 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, journal = {Forschungsbericht 2017 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, isbn = {978-3-9818209-3-5}, pages = {62 -- 63}, language = {de} } @techreport{PongratzEhrlich, author = {Pongratz, Christian and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {High-End-Strukturen f{\"u}r den Leichtbau - mit faserverst{\"a}rktem 3D-Druck}, series = {Forschung 2018 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, journal = {Forschung 2018 / Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, isbn = {978-3-9818209-4-2}, pages = {64 -- 65}, language = {de} } @article{BohmannSchlampEhrlich, author = {Bohmann, T. and Schlamp, Matthias and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Acoustic emission of material damages in glass fibre-reinforced plastics}, series = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, volume = {155}, journal = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, number = {December}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.compositesb.2018.09.018}, pages = {444 -- 451}, abstract = {The aim of this study is to compare two different standardized testing procedures, tensile testing and Mode-I double cantilever beam (DCB) testing, to evaluate a possible correlation between the dominant failure in glass fibre-reinforced plastics and their according acoustic emissions (AE).

However, recent industry experience has revealed concerns related to the limitations and reliability of current test methods for brittle-to-ductile transition evaluation. Regarding the transition temperature evaluation, the critical issues involve Drop-Weight Tear Testing (DWTT) and full-scale West-Jefferson (WJ) test applied to the smaller pipes with diameter less than 500mm. The DWTT leads frequently to invalid results in terms of abnormal fracture appearance and inverse fracture occurrence. It is still not clear if this behavior is only owed to a testing effect, which material characteristics cause it and how far it reflects the full-scale behavior. Similar observations were made for the West-Jefferson tests, which could not be assessed in the standard manner either.

In the scope of the current European project "Plastotough", the main objective is to derive quantified toughness design rules in the upper shelf based on the strain requirements opposed to strain capacities.

The recent findings have shown difficulties in applying well established methods for determination of transition behavior or prediction of ductile crack arrest for the new generation of high-toughness steels. The irregular fracture performance (e.g. so-called "abnormal inverse fracture" appearance, significant scattering in ductile-to-brittle-transition-temperature region, etc.) suggests that the influence of pipe dimensions, loading parameters, crack initiation resistance as well as testing procedure on the fracture behavior has been neither understood nor properly described. This work aims to shed light on these questions regarding the applicability of conventional methods and to better illuminate most relevant parameters affecting fracture behavior of high toughness steels. To achieve this goal, experimental data basis for analysis of fracture behavior in transition and upper shelf regime has been established by conducting quasi-static fracture mechanics tests and dynamic tests on Battelle Drop Weight Tear (BDWT or DWT) specimens at different temperatures. The evaluation of obtained test results in upper shelf has been additionally complemented by numerical simulation of damage behavior.

Distinct limitations of this model were demonstrated for past and modern steels and gas mixtures. These can be related to the insufficient description of individual physical processes and interactions between the pipe material and transported mixture during the running ductile fracture. In the past, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models enabled a more sophisticated, coupled analysis of the failure scenario. To quantify their capability of describing the multi-physical processes, the FSI models need to be verified by experimental data from full-scale burst tests (FSBT). Therefore, this paper deals with the simulation of five FSBTs from the literature on API grade X65 pipes with different pipe geometries, mixtures and initial conditions. The FSI is modeled by the coupled Euler-Lagrange (CEL) method. The modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) model is implemented in the CEL framework to describe the deformation and ductile fracture in the X65/L450 pipes. 3D Euler equations are used to calculate the mixture decompression with the GERG-2008 equation of state defining the volumetric behavior of a CO2-rich mixture, CH4 and H2.

Furthermore, the model does not account for fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) effects during simultaneous running-ductile fracture (RDF) and mixture decompression. Numerical FSI models allow for a more sophisticated, coupled analysis of the driving forces for the failure of pipelines.

In consequence, research activities have been conducted recently aiming at developing modified or novel experimental methods for the characterization of the ductile fracture behavior. To quantify the effects of various parameters on fracture behavior and derive suitable correlations, it is necessary to accompany these activities by numerical simulations with appropriate ductile damage models.

It is especially important for the prevention of over-engineering and the reliable assessment of complex accidental loading, such as extreme bending due to loss of buoyancy of support, or abrupt ground movement. Currently, the focus of research in offshore deepwater installations and linepipes is towards pre-cracked structures with high triaxiality stress states and complex loading histories. At the same time, low triaxiality stress states must be correctly studied in order to represent shear dominated failure in pipes. A comprehensive experimental and numerical program was undertaken to determine the mechanical properties of the traditional API X70 grade of steel. The material was characterized for anisotropic plasticity, fracture initiation and uncracked ductility for various states of stress. The same material was also used for pre-cracked fracture toughness assessment. The experimental program included flat and round specimens. The first type of tests on flat butterfly-shaped, central hole, notched and circular disk specimens; were selected to address the low stress triaxiality range. Tests on round notched bar specimens and SENT fracture mechanics tests extended the characterization and verification process to higher stress triaxiality values. This program covered a wide range of stress conditions and demonstrated their effect on the material resistance to crack extension. Each test conducted was numerically simulated using solid finite element models, matching the exact geometric and loading history features. The numerical simulation provided information on the local stress and strain fields around the location of the potential or existing cracks. Based on the above hybrid experimental/numerical technique tailored for pipe applications, the MMC fracture model was calibrated. The model relates the material ductility not only to stress triaxiality but also to the Lode parameter. The predictive capabilities of the MMC were then evaluated in the case of SENT testing, used extensively in the pipeline industry.

The miniaturization of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology, which mainly finds its applications in pharmaceutical screening and biotechnology so far, is described. SPR spectroscopy is a label-free, non destructive and highly sensitive measurement principle which is capable of detecting changes in the refractive index in striking distance to a gold surface. A transfer of this technology to a miniaturized sensor will broaden the range of possible applications. A promising feature which is included in the miniaturized system is the angle-dependent recording of the SPR signals without moving parts.}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{GaidaWeiglRuecketal., author = {Gaida, Peter and Weigl, Stefan and R{\"u}ck, Thomas and Bierl, Rudolf}, title = {Portable photoakustische Messeinheit zur NO2 Detektion im Spurenbereich}, series = {7.

However, detection of highly diluted concentrations and small molecules is still challenging. It is shown here that in contrast to continuous gold films, gold nanohole arrays can significantly improve the performance of SPR devices in angle-dependent measurement mode, as a signal amplification arises from localized surface plasmons at the nanostructures. This leads consequently to an increased sensing capability of molecules bound to the nanohole array surface. Furthermore, a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sensor surface was layered over the nanohole array. Reduced graphene oxide is a 2D nanomaterial consisting of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms and is an attractive receptor surface for SPR as it omits any bulk phase and therefore allows fast response times. In fact, it was found that nanohole arrays demonstrated a higher shift in the resonance angle of 250-380\% compared to a continuous gold film. At the same time the nanohole array structure as characterized by its diameter-to-periodicity ratio had minimal influence on the binding capacity of the sensor surface. As a simple and environmentally highly relevant model, binding of the plasticizer diethyl phthalate (DEP) via π-stacking was monitored on the rGO gold nanohole array realizing a limit of detection of as low as 20 nM. The concentration-dependent signal change was studied with the best performing rGO-modified nanohole arrays. Compared to continuous gold films a diameter-to-periodicity ratio (D/P) of 0.43 lead to a 12-fold signal enhancement. Finally, the effect of environmental waters on the sensor was evaluated using samples from sea, lake and river waters spiked with analytically relevant amounts of DEP during which significant changes in the SPR signal are observed. It is expected that this concept can be successfully transferred to enhance the sensitivity in SPR sensors.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HollerHauslerRothetal., author = {Holler, Sven and Hausler, Peter and Roth, Carina and Bierl, Rudolf}, title = {Gestapelte Au-Al-Au und Au-Ag-Au Schichten als aktive Schichten f{\"u}r die Oberfl{\"a}chenplasmonenresonanzspektroskopie}, series = {5.
