Sub-model---zoom the area of concern Local high stress is present because of 1. model singularity, such sharp corner; 2. Point load or restraints; 3. Cracks; 4. Change of geometry … Local refinement Sub-modelling • Sub-modeling is a way to “zoom in” on specific regions of a previously-analyzed model, create a fine mesh, include detail features, and obtain highly accurate results just for that region. • The process is based on St. Venant’s principle*. Therefore, it uses the displacement field (and temperature for cool-down) at the cut surfaces from the global model as a boundary condition. *Saint-Venant’s principle states that if two different load distributions are statically equivalent, the effects on a location a sufficient distance away will be the same. 1/17/2022 6
End shell sub-model The basic characteristics of sub-modeling: • The sub-model is a separate analysis from the global model. • The sub-model includes only the local region of interest. • The sub-model has its own geometry, so local features that may have been omitted in the global model can be included in the submodel. • Displacements at the cut surfaces from the global model were used as the cut boundary conditions for the sub-model The sub-model has its own mesh, so a much finer mesh and even different element types can be used to obtain more accurate results. Fillet and chamfer are modelled 1/17/2022 7

Stress Linearization • According to the ASME code, stresses are separated in 3 classes that are associated with different types of failure [ASME sec VIII]: 1. Primary stress--- generally due to internal or external pressure or produced by sustained external forces and moments. Ø It is associated with gross plastic deformation. 2. Secondary stress --- Relenting loads (self-limiting) produce secondary stresses (self-limiting) Ø They can be relieved by local yielding minor distortions; 3. Peak stress --- Peak stresses are additive to primary and secondary stresses present at the point of the stress concentration. Ø It is associated with fatigue failure. • Stress linearization is a way to convert the six stress components into those primary, secondary, and peak stresses. 1/17/2022 12
Stress Linearization at the SCL • ANSYS provides the major three linearized stresses along a SCL: 1. 2. 3. Membrane stress Bending stress Total stress (membrane + bending) - is associated with incremental plastic deformation. Ø If the primary membrane is less than the limit, but the total Ø exceeds, local yield may happen. The yield length should be less than the detection limit (1 mm), refine the design on the localized area may be needed. SCL (Stress Classification Line) 1/17/2022 13
Discussion Path 3 (through stress concentration) Path 1 (45°) Path 2 (Mid-plane) Von Mises stress on paths (elastic model) 1. The process of advance analysis (including sub-modelling, stress linearization, and elasto-plastic model) has been developed. 2. According to Eric’s analysis, cracks are substantially driven by the membrane stress, the plots show the stress concentration is very high at the localized area, and get into the structure relatively deep. 3. Further LEFM with the small flaw size (2 mm or smaller) and other flaw propagate directions will be performed.
