Abstract The method of statically indeterminate fracture mechanics (SIFM) is application of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics to statically indeterminate problems. Application of SIFM has been developed for axially cracked cylinder problems under axisymmetric pressurized thermal shock, PTS loading. This method allows us to evaluate the J-integral in an explicit form and is efficient in clarifying the mechanical characteristics of the PTS event. This paper describes a parametric study of the J-integral under PTS loading by using SIFM. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
1. Introduction The J-integral is valid for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis, especially in ductile fracture analysis. But the original J-integral proposed (Rice, 1968) is not used for fracture analysis under thermal loading, because the J-integral cannot keep its path independence in the case. Special path independent integrals have been proposed for the purpose (Kishimoto et al., 1980). The special path independent integrals can only be evaluated by using a numerical analysis method,

finite element method and so on. They are not generally familiar to engineers because of their difficulty and complexity. The author has proposed applying statically indeterminate fracture mechanics (SIFM) to a single-edge cracked specimen subjected to combined tension and bending, which is typical for structures in fracture mechanics analysis (Matsubara, 1990). SIFM enables us to evaluate the J-integral value of such a cracked member under displacement controlled condition. In previous works, SIFM was used for obtaining the J-integral for a cylinder containing a long axial crack under pressurized thermal shock, PTS (Matsubara, 1991; Matsubara and Soneda, 1992). This paper describes a parametric study of the J-integral under PTS based on the application of SIFM to a axially cracked cylinder problem.

2. Analysis model Fig. 1 shows the model of the cylinder of inner radius Ri, outer radius Ro and wall thickness W= Ro − Ri,. It is assumed that the cylinder had a uniform initial temperature equal to TW over thickness of the wall and that beginning of the cooling phase starts at t = 0 (the start of the thermal transient), with a medium temperature of TC. Temperature profiles are assumed to be sym-
metrical about the axis and independent of the axial coordinate, z. The cylinder is internally pressurized. The type of flaw is a two-dimensional inner-surface axial crack with depth a. The internal pressure p and coolant temperature TC are assumed to be constant through the transient. Table 1 shows the condition considered in the analysis. Parameters which are assumed to apply are thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and stress–strain relationship.
3. Thermal analysis In the cylindrical coordinate system, the dependent variable, temperature T, is related to independent variables, time t and distance r from the center in the conducting body, by means of a heat balance differential equation derived from Fourier’s law of heat conduction. The partial differential equation is

4. Statically indeterminate fracture mechanics
4.1. Application of SIFM
Fig. 2. The hoop stress through wall thickness under PTS.
The hoop stress in the model analyzed is induced by internal pressure and thermal shock. Prior to the application of SIFM, the hoop stress is divided into three components, membrane stress, bending stress and stress varying non-linearly through the wall thickness sn (r), as shown in Fig. 2. SIFM is applied to evaluation of the J-integral due to membrane stress and bending stress which vary linearly. A small axial strip containing the crack is conceptually separated from the cylindrical shell as shown in Fig. 3. The tensile load, P, and moment, M, per unit axial length of the cylinder are the changes in axial load and moment due to introduction of the crack. P0 and M0 are, respectively, the initial distributed axial force and moment per unit length of the cylinder on the ends of the slit cylinder. The displacement, u, and the rotation, u, are those at the ends of the slit cylinder. Du and Du are those arising from the presence of the crack. By continuity of displacement and rotation, u and u must, respectively, equal Du and Du. That is, u= Du u= Du

necessary for evaluation of the J-integral under PTS. Fig. 2 shows the hoop stress components at a particular time 400 s after start of thermal shock. The hoop stress under PTS has three components, membrane tensile stress, bending stress and stress varying non-linearly through the wall thickness. The non-linear stress component is balanced in the direction of the wall thickness. The bending stress by constraint has almost reached the maximum value after 400 s.

P and M can be obtained by solving the simultaneous equation (Eq. (6)), because u, u, Du and Du are considered to be functions of P and M. The P and M values obtained can provide the J-integral as described below. The displacement and rotation of the split cylinder due to P and M may be written as

Here CP is the extension compliance of a split cylinder due to the surface hoop forces on crack faces, CM the angular compliance of the cylinder due to the surface moments and CPM the extension compliance of the cylinder due to the moments or the angular compliance of the cylinder due to the hoop forces.

Here DC eP, DC ePM and DC eM are the extension and angular compliance increments due to the presence of crack of depth a, for a flat plate in plane strain tension and bending conditions.

Substitution of Eq. (7) and Eq. (10) into the continuity conditions (Eq. (6)) leads to the following simultaneous equations. To obtain P and M on crack faces, P and M must be combined with P0 and M0 on the ends of the split cylinder.

ductivity increase, heat transfer coefficient increase would make the J-integral slightly increase for each crack depth. The relations between J-integral and a/W of Figs. 4 and 5 are similar in configuration. Fig. 6 explains the change in J-integral — a/W relationship profile with variation in a and n of the Ramberg–Osgood’s law for the elapsed time of 400 s since the start of thermal shock. The Ramberg–Osgood’s law is an identical stress– strain characteristic for evaluating the J-integral and the compliances DC pP, DC ePM and DC eM. The contours of J-integral — a/W curve change with the constants a and n of the Ramberg–Osgood’s law. The contour would tend to be in the form of the parabola opening upwards with the increase in n.
The above methodology is essentially valid for a thin-walled cylinder structure. 6. Conclusion 5. Results and discussion J-integral values are calculated at 0.01 intervals of non-dimensional crack depth in Figs. 4–6. Fig. 4 shows the effect of thermal conductivity on the J-integral under PTS for the elapsed time of 400 s since the start of thermal transient. The J-integral would almost become largest for each crack depth, because the bending stress by constraint has almost reached the maximum value at that time. The thermal conductivity exerted only a minimal influence on the J-integral over three thermal conductivities considered. Thermal conductivity increase would increase slightly the J-integral for each crack depth. The J-integral shows the first peak at about a/W=0.25. The first peak arises from positive bending, membrane and nonlinear stresses (see Fig. 2). The interaction of bending and membrane stresses causes the second peak at about a/W = 0.5. The J-integral under PTS almost tends as crack grows except for crack depth of about a/W = 0.25 and 0.5. Fig. 5 shows the J-integral under PTS for the elapsed time of 400 s as a function of crack depth a/W under the three conditions of heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient has little effect on the J-integral. Like to the thermal con-
The study in this paper has demonstrated the parametric effect on the J-integral for the simplified model of an axially-cracked cylinder without cladding under PTS. The parameters considered are thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and stress-strain relation. Both the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient do not noticeably affect the J-integral. The profiles of J-integral — a/W curve depend on the constants a and n of the Ramberg–Osgood’s law.
