Fatigue crack growth (FCG) rates have traditionally been formulated from fracture mechanics, whereas fatigue crack initiation has been empirically described using stress-life or strain-life methods. More recently, there has been efforts towards the use of the local stress-strain and similitude concepts to formulate fatigue crack growth rates. A new model has been developed which derives stress-life, strain-life and fatigue crack growth rates from strain energy density concepts. This new model has the advantage to predict an intrinsic stress ratio effect of the form σar=(σamp)γ·(σmax )(1-γ), which is Citation: Huffman, P.J., Ferreira, J., Correia, J.A.F.O., De Jesus, A.M.J., Lesiuk, G., Berto, F., Glinka, G., Fernández-Canteli, A., Fatigue crack propagation prediction of a pressure vessel mild steel based on a strain energy density model, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 42 (2017) 74-84.

INTRODUCTION atigue crack initiation, usually modelled by strain-life or stress-life, has traditionally been considered to be a separate physical phenomenon from fatigue crack propagation. However, some more recent models of fatigue crack growth have been based on the assumption that each crack growth increment is physically similar to the initiation process. That is, the individual crack growth increments are successive initiations of the crack locally at the crack tip [1-4]. Such models consider fatigue crack initiation and propagation to be physically similar, and they can be used in a unified approach to calculate total fatigue life as the sum of initiation and propagation [5-7]. Some authors, as Glinka [2], Peeker and Niemi [3], Noroozi et al. [4,6,7], Hurley and Evans [5] developed approaches to represent fatigue crack propagation using local fatigue models based on strain parameters. Glinka was one of the precursors to describe the fatigue crack propagation modelling using a strain-based fatigue relation [2]. Similarly, the model proposed by Peeker and Niemi [3] allowed the near threshold fatigue crack propagation data and the stable crack growth to be described. For the near threshold fatigue crack propagation, the authors derived analytical relations which are functions of the strain-life relation constants. Hurley and Evans [5] proposed the use of an elastoplastic finite element analysis to compute the process zone and using the Walker-like strain correlated directly with the fatigue life from experimental data thru a power relation to correlate with the fatigue crack increment. Other authors, such as, Correia et al. [8-14] and Hafezi et al. [15] used the strain and SWT fatigue local relations [16], based on UniGrow model [4,6,7] to predict the fatigue crack propagation using the numerical analysis to obtain residual stresses distribution. Correia et al. [9,17,18] proposed a procedure to derive probabilistic S–N–R fields for notched structural details or mechanical components, which is based on the UniGrow model and numerical analysis aiming at computing the elastoplastic stresses and strains at process zone ahead the crack tip. Alternatively, analytical methods such as the ones proposed by Neuber [19] and Moftakhar et al. [20] may be applied to perform the elastoplastic analysis taking into account the elastic stress/strain fields computed around the crack tip, using available Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics solutions [4,20,21]. Recently, Huffman [1] suggested new developments related with the fatigue crack propagation modelling using strain energy density-based model. Fatigue evaluation of notched details based on unified local probabilistic approaches was also proposed by Huffman [22] considering the Walker-like strain-life relation in conjunction with the probabilistic model proposed by Castillo and Fernández-Canteli [23]. In present research, the Huffman crack propagation model is applied to the P355NL1 pressure vessel steel and a comparison with experimental results is made. OVERVIEW OF LOCAL STRESS/STRAIN APPROACHES atigue crack growth modelling like the Paris law relation, uses Linear-Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) to describe cracking driving forces. Local approaches, however, explicitly consider stresses and strains near the crack tip, and associate those with the stress intensity factors. Using the assumption that the stresses or strains near the crack tip are related to fatigue crack growth in the same way that global stresses and strains are related to stress-life and strain-life, an association can be made between damage parameters, such as the SWT damage parameter [16] or the damage parameter introduced by Huffman [1] and the fatigue crack growth. F F P. J. Huffman et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 42 (2017) 74-84; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.42.09 76 The latter approach assumes that stress-life, strain-life, and fatigue crack growth are all different expressions of the same phenomenon which is directly associated with the cyclic stress-strain behaviour. According to that work, the stress life, strain life, and fatigue crack growth rate can all be expressed in terms of material parameters.

The mechanical properties of this steel was collected from the references [9,12,25,26]. In this sub-section the monotonic strength data, the cyclic elastoplastic fatigue data and the fatigue crack growth data obtained for the P355NL1 steel [9,12,25,26] are presented. The elastic and monotonic tensile properties for this steel under investigation, such as the Young modulus, E, Poisson ratio, ν, the ultimate tensile strength, fu, upper yield stress, fy, monotonic strain hardening coefficient, K, and monotonic strain hardening exponent, n, are shown in Tab. 1. Also, in Tab. 1, the Ramberg-Osgood parameters are presented including the cyclic strain hardening coefficient, K’, and the cyclic strain exponent, n’. The strain-life behaviour of the P355NL1 steel was evaluated through fatigue tests of smooth specimens, carried out under strain-controlled conditions, according to the ASTM E606 standard [27]. Two series of specimens are tested under distinct strain ratios, Rε=0 and -1, 19 and 24 specimens, respectively. The cyclic Ramberg-Osgood [24] and Morrow [28- 30] strain-life parameters of the P355NL1 steel are summarized in Tab. 2, for the conjunction of both strain ratios. The Morrow strain-life parameters, such as, the fatigue ductility coefficient, εf', the fatigue ductility exponent, c, the fatigue strength coefficient, σf', and the fatigue strength exponent, b, were collected in references [9,12,25,26].

The experimental results of the fatigue crack growth rates of the investigated material are also evaluated for several stress R-ratios, using CT specimens, following the recommendations of the ASTM E647 standard [31]. The CT specimens of P355NL1 steel are defined with a width, W=40mm and a thickness, B=4.5mm [9,12,25,26]. The tests were performed in air, at room temperature, under a sinusoidal waveform at a maximum frequency of 20 Hz. In Fig. 1, the crack growth data derived for the P355NL1 steel, for three tested stress ratios, Rσ=0.0, Rσ=0.5 and Rσ=0.7, are shown. The crack propagation rates are only slightly influenced by the stress ratio. Higher stress ratios provide higher crack growth rates [9,12,25,26]. a) b) Figure 1: Fatigue crack growth data of the P355NL1 steel: a) Experimental data; b) Paris correlations for each stress R-ratio. K [N.mm‐3/2] d a /d N  [ m m /c yc le ] MB02(R=0.0) MB04(R=0.0) MB03(R=0.5) MB05(R=0.5) MB06(R=0.7) 1.0E‐6 1.0E‐3 1.0E‐2 250 1000 1.0E‐4 1.0E‐5 1500500 K [N.mm‐3/2] d a /d N  [ m m /c yc le ] R=0 R=0.5 R=0.7 1.0E‐6 1.0E‐3 1.0E‐2 1.0E‐4 1.0E‐5 250 1000 1500500 da/dN=7.195E‐15×K3.499 R 2 =0.9960 da/dN=6.281E‐15×K3.555 R 2 =0.9840 da/dN=2.037E‐13×K3.003 R 2 =0.9850 P. J. Huffman et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 42 (2017) 74-84; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.42.09 79 Brief description of the numerical analysis In this sub-section, a brief description of the numerical analysis of the CT specimens performed by Correia et al. [9,10,13] is presented. This author developed two dimensional numerical models of the CT specimens using non-linear elastoplastic finite element analysis. Fig. 2 illustrates the finite element mesh of the CT specimen along with the respective boundary conditions. One half of the geometry is modelled, taking advantage of the existing symmetry. 2D plane stress elements are used since the specimens’ thickness is relatively small (B=4.5mm). Quadratic triangular elements (6-noded elements) are selected and applied with a full integration formulation. The pin loading applied to the CT specimens is simulated with a rigid-to-flexible frictionless contact, the pin being modelled as a rigid circle controlled by a pilot node. All numerical simulations are carried out using the ANSYS® 12.0 code [32]. The 6-noded plane element adopted in the FE (finites elements) analyses is the PLANE181 element available in the ANSYS® 12.0 code library. The contact and target elements used in the pin-loading simulation are, respectively, the CONTA172 and TARGE169 elements available in ANSYS® 12.0 code [32]. A parametric model is built using the APDL language. The surface of the holes is modelled as flexible, using CONTA172 elements. The Augmented Lagrange contact algorithm is used. The associative Von Mises (J2) yield criterion with multilinear kinematic hardening is used to model the plastic behaviour. The multilinear kinematic hardening uses the Besseling model, also called the sublayer or overlay model, so that the Bauschinger effect is included. The plasticity model was fitted to the stabilized or half-life pseudo stabilized cyclic curve of the materials. The plasticity model is fitted to the cyclic curve of the material using the cyclic Ramberg-Osgood properties of the Tab. 1. The finite element model is applied to perform elastic and elastoplastic stress analyses. One important assumption of the Huffman fatigue crack propagation model consists in applying the compressive residual stresses that are computed ahead of the crack tip, in the crack faces, in a symmetric way with respect to the normal to crack face that passes thru the crack tip. The residual stresses distribution was estimated using the numerical simulation proposed by Correia et al. [9]. The resulting residual stress intensity factor, Kr, was computed using the weight function method [33], for each of the stress ratios covered by the testing program. Fig. 3 presents the residual stress intensity factor range [12] as a function of the applied stress intensity factor range, obtained with the numerical analysis, which is consistent with the analytical analysis followed in the UniGrow model published in the literature. A very high linear correlation between the residual stress intensity factor and the applied stress range is verified, for each stress R-ratio. This linear relation agrees with the proposition by Noroozi et al. [4], based on analytical analysis. The numerical solution, for the residual stresses, is adopted in the crack propagation prediction using Huffman fatigue crack propagation model [1]. Figure 2. Finite element mesh of the CT specimen [9]. Application and results This sub-section presents the application of the strain energy density approach to fatigue crack propagation data of the P355NL1 pressure vessel steel. From the application of this model, the Morrow and fatigue crack growth constants, as well as, the strain-life and stress-life curves are evaluated. The fatigue crack propagation model based on the strain energy density approach requires the calibration of model parameters, such as, the critical dislocation density, ρc, crack increment, Δa, and distance from the crack tip, x.

Residual stress intensity factor as a function of the Kapplied for the CT geometry. The Morrow constants resulting from Eqs. (4)-(7) can be seen in Tab. 3. These constants, estimated using the strain energy density approach, are similar to those obtained by fitting the Coffin-Manson and Morrow relation. In this way, it is demonstrated that the Huffman fatigue crack propagation model leads to good results. The fatigue crack growth rate constants are shown in Tab. 4, as well as the critical dislocation density for the material. These FCG rate constants were estimated using the strain energy density approach related to the stress intensity factor used by Noroozi et al. [4] and considering the residual stresses distribution obtained numerically (proposed by Correia et al. [9]).

The stress-life and strain-life curves, and fatigue crack growth rates calculated from the strain energy based damage model are presented, respectively, in the Figs. 4, 5 and 6. A good agreement between the experimental strain-life test results and stress- and strain-life curves estimated using the strain energy density approach is verified. A good agreement can be considered between the experimental FCG results and the results obtained on the basis of the Huffman fatigue crack propagation model for the stress R-ratio equal to 0 and the set of experimental FCG results for all stress R-ratios. This model shows to be very conservative for the stress R-ratios equal to 0.5 and 0.7, describing a possible mean stress effect that is not verified for this material. The critical dislocation density and basic fatigue crack growth rates constants (Tab. 4) for the P355NL1 steel are similar when compared with others materials of identical mechanical properties.

J. Huffman et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 42 (2017) 74-84; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.42.09 83 CONCLUSIONS he Huffman fatigue crack initiation and propagation model based on a strain energy based damage model can be used to predict the stress-life and strain-life curves, as well as the fatigue crack propagation rates in Paris’ law regime, along with the corresponding stress ratio effect. A good agreement between the experimental strain-life results and Huffman analytical stress- and strain-life curves is verified. The model is able to obtain fatigue local relations for other fatigue damage parameters, such as SWT fatigue damage parameter. The application of the Huffman model to the fatigue crack propagation data of the P355NL1 steel proved to be promising. Some aspects related with the mean stresses and stress R-ratios effects have to be improved in order to correctly describe the fatigue crack growth behaviour of the material under consideration. A comparison with other models of fatigue crack propagation based on fatigue local approaches should be made, such as UniGrow model using Neuber analytical approaches or numerical modelling to obtain the residual stresses distribution. A unified two-stage fatigue approach using the Huffman fatigue crack initiation and propagation model applied to the structural details can be suggested.
