Fracture Parameters for Cracked Cylincal Shells
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, 2D boundary element stress analysis is carried out to obtain the T-stress for multiple internal edge cracks in thick-walled cylinders for a wide range of cylinder radius ratios and relative crack depth. The T-stress, together with the stress intensity factor K, provides amore reliable two-parameter prediction of fracture in linear elastic fracture mechanics. T-stress weight functions are then derived from the T-stress solutions for two reference load conditions corresponding to the cases when the cracked cylinder is subject to a uniform and to a linear applied stress variation on the crack faces. The derived weight functions are then verified for several non-linear load conditions. Using the BEM results as reference T-stress solutions; the T-stress weight functions for thick-walled cylinder have also been derived. Excellent agreements between the BEM results and weight function predictions are obtained. The weight functions derived are suitable for obtaining T-stress solutions for the corresponding cracked thick-walled cylinder under any complex stress fields. Results of the study show that the two dimensional BEM analysis, together with weight function method, can be used to provide a quick and accurate estimate of T-stress for 2-D crack problems.

The feasibility of predicting the fracture behavior of surface cracks from shallow cracked bend specimens was investigated. The material studied was a high-strength steel stress relief embrittled to various levels of Charpy-V notch impact toughness. Material toughness was quantified in terms of the J-intergral at total specimen failure (-/„,,), using both deeply notched and shallow-notched bend...

The results of a numerical study of the nonlinear response of thin unstiffened aluminum cylindrical shells with a longitudinal crack are presented. The shells are analyzed with a nonlinear shell analysis code that accurately accounts for global and structural response phenomena. The effects of initial crack length on the prebuckling, buckling and postbuckling responses of a typical shell subjec...
full textBuckling of cracked cylindrical thin shells under combined internal pressure and axial compression
Linear eigenvalue analysis of cracked cylindrical shells under combined internal pressure and axial compression is carried out to study the effect of crack type, size and orientation on the buckling behavior of cylindrical thin shells. Two types of crack are considered; through crack and thumbnail crack. Our calculations indicate that depending on the crack type, length, orientation and the int...
