• fatigue crack growth based on Paris-Erdogan relation: crack size a stress range C and m material parameters
Limit state function for crack through failure: Elaboration for constant amplitude, m=3 & Y=1 :
Crack growth model da/dn = C (DK ) m K = U Y M S ( a) / Q a = crack size C = material parameter m = material parameter K = stress intensity factor S = stress, including SCF U = crack closure factor Y = crack geometry factor M = weld geometry factor Q = elliptic shape factor Paris, 1962
Crack growth model (C 1, m 1) and (C 2, m 2)
crack growth model
Crack growth model – 2 dimensional A semi-elliptical crack in a steel plate at/near the weld toe
Limit state formulations Fixed critical crack size ( plate thickness) Fatigue-fracture g (X, t) = min { R - (Kr 2 + Lr 2) } Kr = Ks (a) / Kmat Lr = S (a) / Sy
Fatigue fracture Dijkstra (1991)
Statistical properties
Statistical properties
Statistical properties • Random variable - average value - standard deviation - distribution type • Vectors/fields/processes 1. 0 - correlation in time - correlation in space x, t
relevant types of correlation • member to member (system reliability) • before and after inspection (updating)
Correlation in space C material property ai initial crack size d wall thickness S stress level Correlation in time cycle rate S stress level
Correlation from hotspot to hotspot • Paris Law parameter: V(C) = 0. 50 (global scatter) V(C) = 0. 20 (internal scatter) ρ = 1 – (0. 202 / 0. 502) = 0. 85 • initial crack size: same order of magnitude • wall thicknes: ρ = 0. 7 (JCSS Model Code, ch 2. 11) • stress (systematic part) ρ = 0. 6 (estimate)
Reliability index (one year period)
Reliability index (one year period) given crack found at tins = 10 yr Correlation is related to C and before and after inspection
spotlight on C
model • Ferry Borges Castanheta model • V(C) = 0. 2 d. C = 40 mm • V(C) = 0. 3 d. C = 5 mm • V(C) = 0. 4 d. C = 1 mm

• Calculation procedure PF(t) Fixed critical crack size: 1. P( a(t)>d ) Fatigue fracture approach: g = R – ( Kr 2 + Lr 2) 1. PF(t) = P(g(a(t), max S( )) < 0 ) 2. Add the annual probabilities 3. Outcrossing approach 4. Conditional failure rate approach
