The results indicate that the mechanical strength and ductility increase with increasing specimen thickness until a saturation value is reached from a specimen thickness of about 2 mm. Specimen orientation dependency is pronounced for thin specimens (<1.5 mm), whereas only small deviations in strength are observed for thicker specimens with orientations of 30°, 45° and 90° to build direction. The mechanical properties of the specimen orientation of 0° to build direction shows great deviation to the other orientations and the smallest overall strength. A reliable design of selective laser melted components should account for specimen thickness and orientation, e. g. by a correction factor. Furthermore, it is recommended to avoid loads vertical (90°) and parallel (0°) to build direction to guarantee higher ductility and strength.

However, the stresses to which fiber-reinforced plastic components are typically subjected in practice are not considered in the impact test methods recommended in guidelines or standards. In this paper, a test setup for investigating the impact behavior of composite specimens under plane uniaxial and biaxial preloading is presented. For this purpose, a special test setup consisting of a biaxial testing machine and a specially designed drop-weight tower was developed. The design decisions were derived from existing guidelines and standards with the aim of inducing barely visible impact damage in laminated carbon fiber-reinforced plastic specimens. Several measurement systems have been integrated into the setup to allow comprehensive observation of the impact event and specimen behavior. A feasibility test was performed with biaxially prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced plastic specimens in comparison with unstressed reference tests. The compressive-tensile prestressing resulted in lower maximum contact forces, higher maximum deflections, higher residual deflections and a different damage pattern, which was investigated by light microscopic analysis. Finally, the functionality of the experimental setup is discussed, and the results seem to indicate that the test setup and parameters were properly chosen to investigate the effect of prestresses on the impacts behavior of composite structures, in particular for barely visible subsequent damages.

However, this data has an inherent inaccuracy. This study evaluates the influence of defined geometrical parameters on lumbar spine loading utilising five parametrised musculoskeletal lumbar spine models for four different postures. The influence of the dimensions of vertebral body, disc, posterior parts of the vertebrae as well as the curvature of the lumbar spine was studied. Additionally, simulations with combinations of selected parameters were conducted. Changes in L4/L5 resultant joint force were used as outcome variable. Variations of the vertebral body height, disc height, transverse process width and the curvature of the lumbar spine were the most influential. These parameters can be easily acquired from X-rays and should be used to morph a musculoskeletal lumbar spine model for subject-specific approaches with respect to bone geometry. Furthermore, the model was very sensitive to uncommon configurations and therefore, it is advised that stiffness properties of discs and ligaments should be individualised.

This study investigates the effects of process-related irregularities, heat and surface treatment on the morphology, mechanical response, and expansion behavior of 316L stainless steel stents produced by laser powder bed fusion and provides a methodological approach for their numerical evaluation. A combined experimental and computational framework is used, based on both actual and computationally reconstructed laser powder bed fused stents. Process-related morphological deviations between the as-designed and actual laser powder bed fused stents were observed, resulting in a diameter increase by a factor of 2-2.6 for the stents without surface treatment and 1.3-2 for the electropolished stent compared to the as-designed stent. Thus, due to the increased geometrically induced stiffness, the laser powder bed fused stents in the as-built (7.11 ± 0.63 N) or the heat treated condition (5.87 ± 0.49 N) showed increased radial forces when compressed between two plates. After electropolishing, the heat treated stents exhibited radial forces (2.38 ± 0.23 N) comparable to conventional metallic stents. The laser powder bed fused stents were further affected by the size effect, resulting in a reduced yield strength by 41% in the as-built and by 59% in the heat treated condition compared to the bulk material obtained from tensile tests. The presented numerical approach was successful in predicting the macroscopic mechanical response of the stents under compression. During deformation, increased stiffness and local stress concentration were observed within the laser powder bed fused stents. Subsequent numerical expansion analysis of the derived stent models within a previously verified numerical model of stent expansion showed that electropolished and heat treated laser powder bed fused stents can exhibit comparable expansion behavior to conventional stents. The findings from this work motivate future experimental/numerical studies to quantify threshold values of critical geometric irregularities, which could be used to establish design guidelines for laser powder bed fused stents/lattice structures.

A modification of models to each subject is complex and the effects on lumbar loading are difficult to assess. The objective of this thesis is to create a validated musculoskeletal model of the human body, which facilitates a subject-specific modification of the geometry of the lumbar spine. Furthermore, important parameters are identified in sensitivity studies and a case study regarding multifidus muscle atrophy after a disc herniation is conducted. Therefore, a generic model is heavily modified and a semi-automatic process is implemented. This procedure remodels the geometry of the lumbar spine to a subject-specific one on basis of segmented medical images. The resulting five models are validated with regard to the lumbar loading at the L4/L5 level. The influence of lumbar ligament stiffness is determined by changing the stiffness values of all lumbar ligaments in eleven steps during a flexion motion. Sensitivities of lumbar loading to an altered geometry of the lumbar spine are identified by varying ten lumbar parameters in simulations with each model in four postures. The case study includes an analysis of the loading of the multifidus muscle and of the lumbar discs throughout various stages of disc herniation. This time each model performs four motions with two different motion rhythms. The results indicate that lumbar motion and loading is dependent on lumbar ligament stiffness. Furthermore, subject-specific modelling of the lumbar spine should include at least the vertebral height, disc height and lumbar lordosis. The results of the case study suggest that an overloading of the multifidus muscle could follow disc herniation. Additionally, a subsequent atrophy of the muscles could expose adjacent levels to an increased loading, but these findings are highly dependent on the individual.

Therefore, an improved and detailed comprehension of fracture mechanisms and development of failure prediction tools are required in order to derive new design criteria. In last decades the most successful failure prediction tools for steel structures subjected to various type of loading can be encountered in the field of damage mechanics. This paper aims to describe ductile fracture behavior of high-strength steel pipelines by applying three different damage models, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needelman (GTN), Fracture Locus Curve (FLC) and Cohesive Zone (CZ). These models are evaluated regarding their capability to estimate ductile crack propagation in laboratory specimens and linepipe components without adjusting the calibrated parameters. It can be shown that appropriate parameter sets can be identified to reproduce load-deformation and fracture resistance curves accurately. The strain rate effect on the fracture behavior is examined by dynamic tests on the BDWT specimens. Finally, the shortcomings of the applied models are pointed out with the reference to possible extensions and modifications.

The case study is the prediction of the yield strength of a 3D-printed 316L steel from morphological and crystallographic features. Three different artificial intelligence models including feed-forward (FNN), convolution (CNN), and graph (GNN) neural networks are employed to train the data-driven models and are compared in terms of performance and computational requirements. The dataset required for training is generated by performing crystal plasticity finite element simulations. The FNN model has the smallest input size and takes in some statistical parameters describing the material microstructure, but its accuracy is relatively low. The CNN approach inputs voxel-based realizations of the microstructure and is able to give accurate estimations; however, its training process is time-consuming and computationally expensive. In the GNN approach, the polycrystalline material is represented by a graph whose nodes and lines represent the grains and adjacency between grains. It is observed that GNN yields a better performance compared to the other two approaches and has the capability of handling complex tasks.

A1 - Nonn, Aida T1 - The third Sandia fracture challenge: predictions of ductile fracture in additively manufactured metal JF - International Journal of Fracture N2 - The Sandia Fracture Challenges provide a forum for the mechanics community to assess its ability to predict ductile fracture through a blind, round-robin format where mechanicians are challenged to predict the deformation and failure of an arbitrary geometry given experimental calibration data. The Third Challenge (SFC3) required participants to predict fracture in an additively manufactured (AM) 316L stainless steel bar containing through holes and internal cavities that could not have been conventionally machined. The volunteer participants were provided extensive data including tension and notched tensions tests of 316L specimens built on the same build-plate as the Challenge geometry, micro-CT scans of the Challenge specimens and geometric measurements of the feature based on the scans, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) information on grain texture, and post-test fractography of the calibration specimens. Surprisingly, the global behavior of the SFC3 geometry specimens had modest variability despite being made of AM metal, with all of the SFC3 geometry specimens failing under the same failure mode. This is attributed to the large stress concentrations from the holes overwhelming the stochastic local influence of the AM voids and surface roughness. The teams were asked to predict a number of quantities of interest in the response based on global and local measures that were compared to experimental data, based partly on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) measurements of surface displacements and strains, including predictions of variability in the resulting fracture response, as the basis for assessment of the predictive capabilities of the modeling and simulation strategies. Twenty-one teams submitted predictions obtained from a variety of methods: the finite element method (FEM) or the mesh-free, peridynamic method; solvers with explicit time integration, implicit time integration, or quasi-statics; fracture methods including element deletion, peridynamics with bond damage, XFEM, damage (stiffness degradation), and adaptive remeshing. These predictions utilized many different material models: plasticity models including J2 plasticity or Hill yield with isotropic hardening, mixed Swift-Voce hardening, kinematic hardening, or custom hardening curves; fracture criteria including GTN model, Hosford-Coulomb, triaxiality-dependent strain, critical fracture energy, damage-based model, critical void volume fraction, and Johnson-Cook model; and damage evolution models including damage accumulation and evolution, crack band model, fracture energy, displacement value threshold, incremental stress triaxiality, Cocks-Ashby void growth, and void nucleation, growth, and coalescence. Teams used various combinations of calibration data from tensile specimens, the notched tensile specimens, and literature data. A detailed comparison of results based of these different methods is presented in this paper to suggest a set of best practices for modeling ductile fracture in situations like the SFC3 AM-material problem. All blind predictions identified the nominal crack path and initiation location correctly. The SFC3 participants generally fared better in their global predictions of deformation and failure than the participants in the previous Challenges, suggesting the relative maturity of the models used and adoption of best practices from previous Challenges. This paper provides detailed analyses of the results, including discussion of the utility of the provided data, challenges of the experimental-numerical comparison, defects in the AM material, and human factors.

For modern linepipe steels and rich natural gases or CO2 mixtures, the BTCM might lead to incorrect predictions. On the one hand, it suffers from the insufficient description of the individual physical processes in the pipe material and fluid itself. 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. This paper deals with the development of an FSI model for the coupled prediction of 3D pressure profiles acting on the inner pipe wall during crack propagation. The coupled Euler-Lagrange (CEL) method is used to link the fluid and structure models. In a Lagrange formulation, the modified Bai-Wierzbicki (MBW) model describes the plastic deformation and ductile fracture as a function of the underlying stress/strain conditions. The fluid behavior is calculated in a 3D model space by Euler equations and the GERG-2008 reference equation of state (EOS). The coupled CEL model is used to predict the RDF in small-diameter pipe sections for different fluid mixtures. The calculated 3D pressure distributions ahead and behind the running crack tip (CT) significantly differ in axial and circumferential directions depending on the mixture composition. The predicted FSI between the pipe wall and fluid decompression in 3D CEL/FSI model provides reliable knowledge about the pressure loading of the pipeline during RDF.

The majority of current design standards still limit the application of modern high toughness linepipe steels due to the simple specification of material requirements in terms of energy levels from Charpy impact or Battelle Drop-Weight-Tear (BDWT) tests. 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. In this paper, the MBW model is applied to study the structural behavior of pipelines in ductile fracture regime. Due to its precise incorporation of the underlying load conditions, the damage model is successfully used to simulate the slant fracture behavior in Battelle Drop weight tear test specimens and pipe sections. In comparison to ductile damage models applied in former studies, namely the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman and Cohesive Zone model, the presented numerical methodology allows for a more detailed investigation of loading, material and geometry effects on fracture and crack arrest behavior of pipelines.

While these specimens were ductile and metallic, their additive character (i.e. porosity and surface roughness) could have had potential to activate multiple life-limiting failure paths, thus obfuscating failure prediction. Herein, two damage models are considered and compared: the micromechanical Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman model and a Crack Band model of the strain-based, phenomenological genre. Simulations used to calibrate elastic and plastic material properties and predict damage in a novel, non-standard specimen were quasi-static, explicit. Both damage models proved capable in resolving the experimentally-observed failure path and associated loading conditions. The analyses described herein were made as part of the Third Sandia Fracture Challenge.

The mesomechanic kinematic can be observed in both the analytic model and the FE-analyses.

Especially in seismic design the utilization of material reserves and the formation of plastic hinges play an important role. In devastating earthquakes in Northridge (USA) and Kobe (Japan) brittle fracture of welded connections in steel moment frames occurred prior to formation of plastic hinges and utilization of plastic material reserves. The subsequent research works resulted in improved design rules and recommendations for these kinds of failure. But to guarantee sufficient ductile performance of these connections also in the upper shelf region, plastic and earthquake resistant design rules should take into account degradation of strain capacity and toughness properties due to quasi static and especially seismic loading. 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. This paper gives an overview over the research work in performance and shows recent results from experimental and numerical analyses performed within this project for monotonic and cyclic loading.

T1 - Specimen Preparation and Material Characterization of Filament Wound GFRP Composite Tubes JF - Athens Journal of Technology & Engineering N2 - Filament wound composite structures are widely used in the field of pressure vessels, tubes, pipelines or rocket cases. 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. Finally tensile tests are performed and the results are compared and discussed.

LS-DYNA Forum, 9. - 10. Oktober 2012, Ulm N2 - Structural mechanic properties of fiber reinforced plastics depend on the single components’ properties, namely matrix and fiber [5]. Simple micromechanic homogenization theories reach a limit when a laminate consists of fabric reinforced layers instead of unidirectional layers. The ondulations of warp and fill yarn caused by the textile semi-finished product are the reason why the mesoscopic scale, which is in between the microscopic and the macroscopic scale, has to be taken into account when mechanically characterizing fabric reinforced composites [3]. In this scale a mesomechanic kinematic can be derived analytically. Especially, when considering free damped vibrations of structures the repeated acting of the kinematic correlation significantly affects the damping behaviour to higher values compared to theoretically predicted damping ratios. The model is investigated using Finite-Element-Analyses and basically validated experimentally.

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. It was shown that the present fracture model calibration can describe fracture behavior of SENT experiments.

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. The extended model considers the effect of soil backfill on the pipe deformation and inertia. The numerical predictions agree well with the experimental findings in terms of the crack propagation speed and arrest length underlining the capability of the developed numerical tool.

The simulation of crack initiation and crack extension in hybrid welds is performed by applying GTN damage model. The identification of damage parameters requires combined numerical and experimental analyses. The tendency to crack path deviation during crack growth depends strongly on the constraint development at the interface between base and weld metal. In order to quantify the influence of local stress state on the crack path deviation, the initial crack location is varied. Finally, the results from fracture mechanics tests are compared to real component, beam-column-connection, with respect to fracture resistance.

T1 - Microstructure-based modeling of high-strength linepipe steels T2 - 6th Pipeline Technology Conference 2013, 6-9 October, Ostend, Belgium N2 - HE MODERN LONGITUDINALLY WELDED pipes with new generation of steel materials exhibit excellent mechanical properties due to the continuous improvements in thermomechanical controlled processing of plates (TMCP) and pipe (UOE) production processes. 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 results contribute to a better understanding of the mechanical behavior and allow a more precise microstructure design of the bainitic steels.

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. Furthermore, damage simulations are applied for quantification of local stress conditions in order to identify the major factors controlling the crack propagation. The results reported here serve as a basis for better understanding of fracture performance in dependences of geometry and material properties.

The ductile fracture has been analyzed using tests on round notched bar specimens and standard fracture mechanics tests performed at room temperature. In previous publications the damage model Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) has been applied and verified by existing experimental data to describe ductile fracture behavior. The brittle fracture and the fracture in temperature transition region have been studied by means of deep and shallow notched SENB specimens at two different temperatures T=- 80°C and -40°C. Besides elastic-plastic analyses to quantify constraint levels for different initial crack configurations at the onset of cleavage fracture, the brittle failure has been described using modified Beremin model. The influence of the stable crack growth on the cleavage failure probability in temperature transition region has been captured by coupling the ductile fracture model (GTN) with the modified Beremin model. Finally, examples have been presented for the practical application of the numerical results on the fracture assessment of the flawed high-strength pipelines.

One of the most important prerequisites for safe installation and operation of long distance gas transmission pipelines is the detailed knowledge and characterization of their fracture performance for specific applications. 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. Again, the question was towards testing effects and the behavior of the pipeline transporting gaseous media remains unanswered. Therefore, this paper aims at identifying open questions on basis of a literature study and own experimental results and showing possible ways forward in demonstrating safety in design against propagating fracture.

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. The results highlight the influence of stress conditions on fracture behavior with reference to pipe dimensions and loading conditions and, subsequently, may be used as a basis for revision of existing design methods.

For pipes with wall thickness less than 10mm different Charpy standards allow for the application of sub-sized specimens. 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. In this paper damage mechanics approach is applied to describe fracture behavior of X65 pipeline material. 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. This damage model is subsequently employed to simulate ductile-brittle transition behavior.

However, a reliable quantification of the influence of material plasticity on the fracture resistance is still missing. Therefore, more accurate description of the material plasticity on the ductile fracture propagation is required based on a suitable numerical methodology. In this study, different plasticity and fracture models are compared regarding the ductile fracture propagation in X100 pipeline steel with the objective to quantify the influence of plasticity parameters on the fracture resistance. The plastic behavior of the investigated material is considered by the quadratic yield surface in conjunction with a non-associated quadratic plastic flow potential. The strain hardening can be appropriately described by the mixed Swift-Voce law. The simulations of ductile fracture are conducted by an uncoupled, modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) and the micromechanically based Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) models. In contract to the original GTN model, the MMC model is capable of describing ductile failure over wide range of stress states. Thus, ductile fracture resistance can be estimated for various load and fracture scenarios. Both models are used for the simulation of fracture propagation in DWTT and 3D pressurized pipe sections. The results from the present work can serve as a basis for establishing the correlation between plasticity parameters and ductile fracture propagation.

T2 - Proceedings of the 2014 10th International Pipeline Conference (IPC2014), Volume 3: Operations, Monitoring, and Maintenance, Materials and Joining, September 29-October 3, 2014, Calgary, Canada N2 - Fracture propagation control in gas transmission gas pipelines belongs to the major design requirements for safe operation at high internal pressures. However, the current tests such as Drop-Weight-Tear Test (DWTT) and full-scale West-Jefferson (WJ) test reach the limits of their applicability with respect to transition temperature evaluation for seamless quenched and tempered small diameter pipes reflecting nowadays alloying concepts related to mechanical properties. Hereby, different geometry and material effects are evident which might lead to misinterpretation and unreliability of testing results. This paper aims to discuss open issues addressed in the literature and in own experimental findings with respect to reliability and transferability of testing methods, fracture parameters and their representativeness of seamless quenched and tempered pipeline behavior. By applying damage mechanics approach, it is possible to quantify the prevailing stress state and thus to understand the mechanisms controlling specific fracture appearance (ductile or brittle). Furthermore, studies were performed with objective to quantify the effect of different parameters (geometry, material and loading) on the fracture performance of the pipeline. The results from these investigations will serve as a basis for a safe pipeline design against propagating fracture.

AE is processed by using a burst collection of all recorded transient signals and is further analysed with the k-means clustering algorithm. To generate damage related AE, a series of experiments for tensile testing and Mode-I DCB testing is performed on 16-layer glass fibre/epoxy specimens with a cross-ply lay-up for tensile and an unidirectional lay-up for Mode-I DCB testing. Three sensors at tensile testing and one sensor at Mode-I DCB testing gather AE data. The results of clustered burst signals show a good accordance between both testing procedures, with a similar weighted peak frequency (WPF) range in each classified cluster. In total, three different clusters are determined. An assignment of these three clusters to the three dominant damage mechanisms, visually observed by microscopy, is suggested.

October 2014 N2 - Purpose: A route to manufacture porous carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for study purposes is described. Design/methodology/approach: The porous CFRP is characterized using standard techniques such as matrix digestion as well as the more sophisticated method of high resolution Microfocus X-Ray Tomography (μCT). A comparison of the results of those methods is presented. The mass gains of specimens with a wide range of porosity have been measured both in constant humidity and in alternating environments. Findings: It could be shown that severe temperature changes can temporarily increase the moisture content of porous CFRP. However, after the return to a constant environment, the moisture content returns back to saturation levels. Furthermore, it could be shown by X-Ray Tomography that even under severe climatic conditions no permanent liquid water condensates inside the pores. Research limitations/implications: Using Microfocus Computed Tomography it could be shown that even after nearly a year under hot-wet conditions and more than 150 severe temperature cycles there is no liquid water detectable inside the pores. Originality/value: In this paper the effects of severe temperature changes and high humidity on porous CFRP.

The specimens were subjected to low-velocity impacts (LVI) to produce barely visible impact damages (BVID). To compare the dependency of the matrix system and the laminate lay-up on the impact damage, four test series were set up. Therefore, laminates with an epoxy (EP) and a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) matrix in a quasi-isotropic (QI) [+45/0/-45/90]2s and an orthotropic (OT) fiber lay-up [0/90]4s were manufactured. To eliminate the influence of variant fiber systems, the thermoplastic tape and the thermoset prepreg contain similar carbon fibers (CF). After impact testing with three different impact energies, inner damages were investigated by using ultrasonic analyses. To get a deeper understanding of the interior damage mechanisms, cross sections of the damaged areas were examined via reflected light microscopy. By using these destructive and non-destructive test methods, significant differences in the damage behavior of composites with thermoplastic and thermoset matrix systems were identified for both laminate lay-ups.

In technical applications, thermoplastic materials are oftenaffected by aging and a related deterioration of the mechanical properties. Therefore, it is necessary to identifythe aging behavior of thermoplastic materials. For this,experiments were performed for three thermoplasticmaterials, namely polypropylene (PP), ultra high mole -cular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high impactstrength polystyrene (HIPS). For these experiments, a UV chamber was constructed according to the internationalstandard EN ISO 4892-3 for simulation of exposurebehind window glass. The results are evaluated by testing the flexural strength and the dynamic mechanicalresponse after a selected period of time under UV lightand then compared to untreated test specimens.

As fabric reinforcements show repeating ondulations of warp and fill yarn, simple mixtures laws reach their limits. That is the reason why the mesoscopic dimension, lying between the microscopic and the macroscopic dimension, has to be taken into account when a mechanical characterization of fabric reinforced composites is carried out. The aim of this work is to determine the stiffness of a fabric reinforced composite in warp and fill direction with numerical investigations. The simulations are based on FE-calculation with two different RVEs. The tensile tests and the FE-calculations have been carried out for two different types of basalt fabrics, namely twill 2/2 and twill 1/3. The comparison between the experimental data and the results of the FE-calculations are provided in order to support the validity of the proposed model.

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.

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. The results will contribute to an enhanced understanding of major parameters controlling ductile fracture propagation and will help to establish a reliable procedure for safe design of new high-capacity pipelines with regard to crack arrest.

The material was characterized for anisotropic plasticity, fracture initiation for various states of stress, (pre-cracked) fracture toughness and uncracked ductility. The experimental program included tests on flat butterfly-shaped, central hole, notched and circular disk specimens for low stress triaxiality levels; as well as tests on round notched bar specimens and SENT fracture mechanics tests, for high values of stress triaxiality. This program covered a wide range of stress conditions and demonstrated its effect on the material resistance. Parallel to the experimental study, detailed numerical investigations were carried out to simulate all different experimental tests. Using an inverse method, a 3-parameter calibration was performed on the Modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) fracture model. Subsequently, the predictive capabilities of the MMC were evaluated by the comparison to the fracture toughness tests results, used extensively in the pipeline industry. The capabilities of the MIT fracture model have been demonstrated on an example of high strength offshore steel, X100. The outcome of this study was not only to provide, the overall characterization of the fracture behavior of this material as an example, but also to present the methodology on how to use the MMC model as a practical tool in pipeline design.

Design/methodology/approach: The porous CFRP is characterized using standard techniques such as matrix digestion as well as the more sophisticated method of high resolution Microfocus X-Ray Tomography (μCT). A comparison of the results of those methods is presented. The mass gains of specimens with a wide range of porosity have been measured both in constant humidity and in alternating environments. Findings: It could be shown that severe temperature changes can temporarily increase the moisture content of porous CFRP. However, after the return to a constant environment, the moisture content returns back to saturation levels. Furthermore, it could be shown by X-Ray Tomography that even under severe climatic conditions no permanent liquid water condensates inside the pores. Research limitations/implications: Using Microfocus Computed Tomography it could be shown that even after nearly a year under hot-wet conditions and more than 150 severe temperature cycles there is no liquid water detectable inside the pores.

The investigated kinds of fibres are carbon, glass and basalt. Design/methodology/approach: The test panels have been impregnated with thermoset resin. Curing was done by autoclave processing. In order to obtain comparable fibre volume contents of approx. 60 % in the different layups (monolithic and hybrid without and with separating layer), curing cycles adapted to the type of layup have been identified. The resulting fibre volume content of the test panels has been determined both by weighing and experimentally by chemical extraction and calcination. The impact load was applied by an instrumented experimental setup. Thereby both commercially available bullets and bearing balls accelerated with weighted propellant in a sabot have been used as impactors. The measured values are the velocities of the bearing balls as the impactor before and after penetration of the test panels. Findings: In both cases the results show the energy dissipation capacity of each single kind of fibre in case of the monolithic layups as well as the enhanced properties of the hybrid stacked layups without and with the separating layer as a core material. Typical failure modes on the impact surface and on the outlet areas are identified. Research limitations/implications: The influence of the respective kind of impactors, namely bullets and bearing balls, on the evaluated results is identified. Thereby the bearing balls exhibited a higher degree of reproducibility due to several reasons. Originality/value: Fibre reinforced plastics with hybrid stacking sequences can be used as load-bearing structures and at the same time as safety structures for passengers in automotive or aerospace applications. Moreover, with the hybrid stacked composites lightweight concepts can efficiently be realized regarding energy saving issues.

The tubes are frequently subjected to bending loads, depending on the application. In order that the dimensioning of the tubes can be ensured, analytical bending models are used to calculate the resulting stresses, strains and displacements in the individual layers of the laminate. This enables the making of a statement about the failure of the fiber-reinforced tube by choosing an appropriate failure criterion. For the use of these bending models, it is necessary to understand the respective underlying theory. The theory provides the basis for the mathematical description of the mechanical properties for a single-layered tube and using the relationships between the stresses and strains that occur in the Cylindrical coordinate system for this calculation step. For this reason, a redefinition of the compliance matrix from the transformation about the winding angle to the Cylindrical coordinate system and a modification of the stress and strain vectors is necessary, because the defined Cartesian coordinate system of the model cannot be used for wounded FRP tubes. The transformation causes an exchange of entries in the compliance matrix, which remain in the correct relationship between the particular stress and strains. This step is not specified and may lead to incorrect results due to the incorrect entry of compliances. The present publication refers to sketch on this issue and represent a simplification of the changeover to the level required by the bending models notation of vectors in the form of a permutation. In addition, a new name for the pre-acquisition of the redefined compliances is given to prevent confusion when entering the material law of a bending model. Finally, the permuted and redefined compliances are proved in an example to determine their accuracy.

Design/methodology/approach: Due to the definition of plain representative sequences of balanced plain-weave and twill-weave 2/2 fabric reinforced single layers based on sines the variable geometric parameters are the amplitude and the length of the ondulation. Findings: The mesomechanic kinematic can be observed in the FE analyses for both kinds of fabric constructions. Research limitations/implications: The FE analyses consider elasticity and contraction due to Poisson effects, respectively, of the model under selected longitudinal strains. Practical implications: The results are evaluated at relevant positions on the centre-line of the ondulated warp-yarn of the plain representative model. A direct and linear coupling in case of the transversal kinematic behaviour, and thereby a corresponding definite reduction of the evaluated longitudinal strains in terms of the difference of the applied and determined longitudinal strains is identified. Originality/value: Both characteristic purely kinematic reactions due to geometric constraints directly depend on the introduced degree of ondulation. This non-dimensional parameter relates amplitude and length of one complete ondulation, and thus represents the intensity of the ondulation of the respective fabric construction.

Design/methodology/approach: Mechanical acting principles identified by different investigations are considered. Aspects of the determination and calculation of structural mechanical material properties of fabric reinforced composites are described. Approaches intending the description and classification of ondulations in fabrics reinforced single layers are demonstrated. Findings: The mesomechanic geometry of fabrics is not considered sufficiently by relatively simple homogenization approaches. Yet, it significantly affects its structural dynamic material properties, especially the dynamic ones. Research limitations/implications: In each case the different damping mechanisms act coupled and occur at the same time. Therefore a separation procedure is required in any case. Practical implications: Against the background of the comparison and remarks of the presented papers a reasonable further procedure is recommended. Thereby, FE-calculations with a parametrical variation of the mesomechanic geometry in order to identify kinematic correlations due to geometric constraints are suggested. Originality/value: The idea of the representation of the geometric conditions in terms of a degree of ondulation is described. Such a non-dimensional specific value representing the intensity of the ondulation would enable the comparability of the results of different kinds of investigations.

However, geometric irregularities inherent for L-PBF stents are expected to influence not only their mechanical behavior but also their interaction with the artery. In this study, the influence of geometrical irregularities on stent-artery interaction is evaluated within a numerical framework. Thus, computed arterial stresses induced by a reconstructed L-PBF stent model are compared to those induced by the intended stent model (also representing a stent geometry obtained from conventional manufacturing processes) and a modified CAD stent model that accounts for the increased strut thickness inherent for L-PBF stents. It was found that, similar to conventionally manufactured stents, arterial stresses are initially related to the basic stent design/topology, with the highest stresses occurring at the indentations of the stent struts. Compared to the stent CAD model, the L-PBF stent induces distinctly higher and more maximum volume stresses within the plaque and the arterial wall. In return, the modified CAD model overestimates the arterial stresses induced by the L-PBF stent due to its homogeneously increased strut thickness and thus its homogeneously increased geometric stiffness compared with the L-PBF stent. Therefore, the L-PBF-induced geometric irregularities must be explicitly considered when evaluating the L-PBF stent-induced stresses because the intended stent CAD model underestimates the arterial stresses, whereas the modified CAD model overestimates them. The arterial stresses induced by the L-PBF stent were still within the range of values reported for conventional stents in literature, suggesting that the use of L-PBF stents is conceivable in principle. However, because geometric irregularities, such as protruding features from the stent surface, could potentially damage the artery or lead to premature stent failure, further improvement of L-PBF stents is essential.

Previous studies have shown that residual stresses and distortion of benchmark L-PBF components may be predicted by sequential thermo-mechanical analyses. However, the reliability of these analyses for more complex structures must be critically questioned, as comprehensive validation and sensitivity analyses are scarce. In this paper, we present a calibrated and validated low-fidelity sequential thermo-mechanical finite element analysis (FEA) of a tubular L-PBF lattice structure, i.e., an aortic stent, where pronounced local deformation is expected. As a first step, the finite element model was extensively calibrated using experimental data to ensure reproducibility of the simulation results. Thereupon, geometric features critical to the distortion of L-PBF lattice structures and measures to compensate for the distortion, such as inversion of the distorted L-PBF structure, were investigated. It was found that the distortion of the L-PBF lattice structures can be reduced, but not completely prevented, by increasing the strut angles, increasing the strut thickness, and decreasing the transition radius in the area of merging struts. FEA-based inversion of the numerically predicted deformed structure minimized distortion, resulting in the L-PBF aortic stent approximating the intended CAD geometry even with a small strut thickness. This work shows that low-fidelity sequential thermo-mechanical FEA can be used not only for the analysis and deformation compensation of reference structures, but also for the analysis of more complex filigree structures with pronounced local deformation.

This global challenge has led to accelerated development of highly effective vaccines tied to their ability to elicit a sustained immune response. While numerous studies have focused primarily on the spike (S) protein, less is known about the interior of the virus. Here we propose a methodology that combines several experimental and simulation techniques to elucidate the internal structure and mechanical properties of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The mechanical response of the virus was analyzed by nanoindentation tests using a novel flat indenter and evaluated in comparison to a conventional sharp tip indentation. The elastic properties of the viral membrane were estimated by analytical solutions, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on a membrane patch and by a 3D Finite Element (FE)-beam model of the virion's spike protein and membrane molecular structure. The FE-based inverse engineering approach provided a reasonable reproduction of the mechanical response of the virus from the sharp tip indentation and was successfully verified against the flat tip indentation results. The elastic modulus of the viral membrane was estimated in the range of 7-20 MPa. MD simulations showed that the presence of proteins significantly reduces the fracture strength of the membrane patch. However, FE simulations revealed an overall high fracture strength of the virus, with a mechanical behavior similar to the highly ductile behavior of engineering metallic materials. The failure mechanics of the membrane during sharp tip indentation includes progressive damage combined with localized collapse of the membrane due to severe bending. Furthermore, the results support the hypothesis of a close association of the long membrane proteins (M) with membrane-bound hexagonally packed ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). Beyond improved understanding of coronavirus structure, the present findings offer a knowledge base for the development of novel prevention and treatment methods that are independent of the immune system.

T1 - Predicting failure of the Second Sandia Fracture Challenge geometry with a real-world, time constrained, over-the-counter methodology JF - International Journal of Fracture N2 - An over-the-counter methodology to predict fracture initiation and propagation in the challenge specimen of the Second Sandia Fracture Challenge is detailed herein. This pragmatic approach mimics that of an engineer subjected to real-world time constraints and unquantified uncertainty. First, during the blind prediction phase of the challenge, flow and failure locus curves were calibrated for Ti–6Al–4V with provided tensile and shear test data for slow (0.0254 mm/s) and fast (25.4 mm/s) loading rates. Thereafter, these models were applied to a 3D finite-element mesh of the non-standardized challenge geometry with nominal dimensions to predict, among other items, crack path and specimen response. After the blind predictions were submitted to Sandia National Labs, they were improved upon by addressing anisotropic yielding, damage initiation under shear dominance, and boundary condition selection.

The miniaturized dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators (PA) were fabricated by means of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We elucidate how to make the actuator samples scalable and applicable to any desired shape by the use of flexible inorganic zirconia substrates. For this purpose, we applied our developed embedding method to integrate the micro actuators in modern carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP/GFRP) materials. Next, the embedded actuator samples were mounted on a mechanical air profile-like fixture and placed in the icing wind tunnel iCORE. The samples were tested in rime ice conditions at temperatures of -15 to -20° C and air speeds up to 30 m/s. Unlike other groups we used a thin film zirconia substrate as dielectric for the plasma actuator. Due to the low substrate thickness of just 150 µm, an operating voltage of 2 kVRMS is already sufficient enough for a stable plasma formation. The experiments show that the operated actuator was able to prevent the ice formation and first indications of a De-icing function were also found. Hence, we show that it is feasible to realize an anti-icing system with zirconia-based plasma actuators operated at lower voltages compared to conventional ones.

October 2022, 16. November 2022, 30 November 2022, Munich/Neubiberg/Garching N2 - Additive Fertigung hat sich in zahlreichen industriellen Anwendungen etabliert und bildet eine wichtige Schlüsseltechnologie. Im Gegensatz zu metallischen Werkstoffen, haben additiv gefertigte Bauteile aus Kunststoffen geringere Festigkeit und Steifigkeit, sodass sich ihre Verwendung als lasttragende Strukturen schwierig gestaltet. Insbesondere der Einsatz von endlosen Verstärkungsfasern kann die mechanischen Eigenschaften additiv gefertigter Strukturen signifikant verbessern und die Fertigung hochbelastbarer Faserverbundstrukturen im 3D-Druckverfahren ermöglichen. Daher gilt es aktuell notwendige Anlagen und Prozessketten für den Fertigungsprozess aber auch Vorgehensweisen für die belastungsoptimierte Auslegung der Faserverläufe innerhalb des Bauteils zu entwickeln, um so das Themengebiet „Endlosfaserverstärkter 3D-Druck“ weiter voranzutreiben. Für mehr räumliche Freiheit bei der Positionierung der Druckbahnen können industrieroboterbasierte Systeme eingesetzt werden, um so das Potenzial gerichteter Bauweise von Faserverbundstrukturen auch im additiven Fertigungsprozess vollumfänglich ausschöpfen zu können. Dabei ermöglicht ihr Einsatz auch eine räumliche Ablage der Faserverstärkung, wobei für die Materialablage ein geeigneter 3D-Druckkopf erforderlich ist. Für die Implementierung der Faserverstärkung ist zudem eine dem Lastfall entsprechende Auslegung des Bauteils sowie die Ermittlung einer sinnvollen Faserpositionierung innerhalb des Bauteils erforderlich, wobei unterschiedliche Variablen aus den Bereichen Material, Struktur und Fertigungsprozess berücksichtigt werden müssen. Im Rahmen des Vortrages werden die Herausforderungen der Technologieentwicklung des endlosfaserverstärkten 3D-Drucks aufgegriffen sowie auf eine belastungsorientierte Faserpositionierung näher eingegangen. Aktuelle Erkenntnisse werden diskutiert sowie eine Entwurfsmethodik für die Prozesspfadgenerierung vorgeschlagen.

It considers the differing mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced material by excluding overlapping regions perpendicular to the fiber direction of the particular layer. A mechanical and numerical comparison of tensile strength of stepped joints with continuous step lengths per ply and stepped joints with reduced step lengths in plies with fiber orientation differing from load direction is performed. Finite element simulations show similar shear stresses. Mechanical tests of CFRP laminates with stepped joints show no significant deviation in tensile strength, in spite of a joint length reduction of nearly 40%. This leads to the possibility of a significant reduction of repair area.

Mechanical anisotropy is commonly available in pipe products as a result of the manufacturing process, especially, those subjected to hot/cold-worked deformation. The outcomes of the present analyses show that its effect on the behavior of running ductile fracture in cracked pipes undergoing depressurization is meaningful. For instance, the Crack-Tip Opening Angle (CTOA) not only exhibits a strong dependence to the pipe's diameter size, but also to the material's anisotropy nature when compared to a hypothetical isotropic material. Moreover, laboratory scale tests such as those performed on Battelle Drop Weight Tear (BDWT) samples provide useful information about initiation of ductile crack propagation when the anisotropy features are taken into account in the material description.

T1 - Validated Multiphysics Modeling For Advanced Pipeline Integrity Management T2 - ADIPEC, November 4–7, 2024, Abu Dhabi, UAE N2 - The aim of this paper is to present practical steps for utilizing a validated multiphysics approach for fracture control in CO2 pipelines within the framework of Carbon Capture Transport and Storage (CCTS). Ensuring the arrest of running ductile fracture (RDF) is a crucial safety requirement for the transportation of dense-phase CO2. However, current standards rely on outdated and restrictive methods, imposing severe limitations on pipeline material and structural design. As a result, projects that fall outside these standards face the need for extremely costly tests, often leading to delays or cancellations of CCTS initiatives. This study introduces an advanced, validated, fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model designed to accurately predict fracture propagation in CO2 pipelines. A key advantage of this approach is its use of robust and reproducible calibration and validation procedures combined with high-quality material characterization data. The full coupling of structural, fluid, and backfill models is essential for obtaining precise results, not only in determining arrest occurrence but also in analyzing properties such as fracture velocity history, 3D pressure distributions behind the propagating crack, wall thinning, and crack tip opening angle. The FSI model has demonstrated its value as a cost-effective tool for safety assessments, enabling the development of fracture control plans that specify minimum required material properties and fluid compositions for optimized pipeline design, both onshore and offshore. Additionally, performing virtual studies with the parameterized FSI model enables the generation of synthetic data for training and validating a machine learning surrogate model. This surrogate model can be integrated into industrial practices, facilitating the application of multiphysics modeling without the need for extensive expertise.
