STRESS INTENSITY THICK WALLED

FACTORS FOR RADIAL CRACKS CYLINDERS-III. ASYMMETRICAL CRACKS

IN

H. M. SHU, J. PETIT and G. BEZINE Laboratoire de Mecanique et Physique des Matdriaux URA CNRS 863-ENSMA, BP 109, 86960 Futuroscope, CEDEX, France Abstract-For many years, a great amount of work has been done on the problems of symmetrical multiple radial cracks in the thick walled cylinder. But, up to now, nothing has been done on asymmetrical multiple radial cracks in thick walled cylinders. This paper deals with two and three asymmetrical radial cracks, and the stress intensity factors (SIF) due to two kinds of internal pressures and full autofrettage process has been calculated using finite element method and the influence of crack configurations on SIF is discussed.

1. INTRODUCTION I of this study [I] deals with the multiple radial cracks in thick walled cylinders and the stress intensity factors (SIF) have been calculated using finite element method for a wide range of crack configuration parameters. However, in real situations, cracks are not always symmetrical. This third part studies two and three asymmetrical inner radial cracks in the thick walled cylinders undergoing two kinds of internal pressures and full autofrettage and the SIF for a wide range of parameter configuration has been calculated using finite element method. The influence of crack configurations on the SIF is discussed. PART

ANALYSIS

Figure 1 shows the crack configurations, where r, and r2 are the inner and outer radius, respectively, with rl = 52.5 mm and r2 = 135 mm, which is the real dimension of a barrel; a is the length of cracks, w (= r2 - rl ) the width of wall thick, with 0.05 < a/w < 0.8. The cylinders undergo three kinds of loading, namely (1) the internal pressure pi on inner surface (no crack face pressure); (2) external tension p0 on outer surface and (3) full autofrettage which is simulated by a thermal loading [2-51. The finite element code ABAQUS was used with eight nodes quadrilateral and six nodes trilateral isoparametric elements. Only the upper half of the cylinder is considered. For the situation of three cracks in a cylinder undergoing internal pressure and external tension, when cracks are longer and the angle 0 between cracks 1 and 2 is smaller, the faces of crack 1 could present some overlapping. Therefore, to prevent this situation, GAP elements between the opposite nodes on both faces of crack 1 are added. We first calculate the J-integral around the cracks tip in a cylinder due to internal pressure, external tension and full autofrettage, respectively, and the SIF can be obtained by relation K: = EJ/(I - v2) (for plane strain) The SIF K, is expressed as K, = K~F(u/~,

(1) For two cracks Figures 2 and 3 show that when the angle between two cracks is smaller, the SIF (negative SIF for autofrettage) for two cracks is smaller than that of a single crack. As the angle 8 increases, the SIF increases monotonically. When angle 8 reaches 45”, the SIF is near to that of a single crack, and when 8 = 90”, the SIF reaches the largest magnitude. That means that when angle between two cracks is smaller, the interaction of two cracks results in a relaxation of stress field at the crack tips; and when angle between two cracks is larger the interaction of two cracks results in enhancement of stress field at the crack tips. (2) For three cracks Figure 4 shows that for three cracks, when 8 is smaller, the SIF of crack 1 due to external tension is very little and is less than that of a single crack.

cracks, the SIF of crack 1 increases. When 6 is larger, the SIF of crack 1 is larger than that of a single crack, and when the angle 8 tends to 180”, the SIF of crack 1 tends to the largest magnitude which is nearly equal to that of two symmetrical cracks. In our calculation, by computing the displacement of crack faces, it has been found that, generally, when a/w > 0.5 and 20” < 0 < 75”, the two faces of crack 1 come into contact partially due to internal pressure and external tension, and thus the SIF of crack 1 becomes very small.

Figures 5 and 7 show that when B c 90”, the SIF of crack 2 (negative SIF for autofr~ttage) increase as the angle increases; when 8 > 90”, the SIF decreases as the angle 8 increases; and when 0 = 90”, the SIF reaches the largest magnitude which is nearly equal to that of two symmetrical cracks. When 0 comes close to 180”, changing the angle has little influence on the SIF for crack 2. Figure 6 presents the SIF for crack 1 due to full autofrettage. It can be observed that at some values of crack configuration parameters, the SIF of crack 1 can become positive; that means that the crack 1 is partially open near to the crack tip. From Figs 2-7, we can also conclude that when angle 0 is small (< 30”) and cracks are short (a/w < 0.2), the increase of 8 leads to an obvious increase of SIF; but when cracks are longer, the increase of 0 leads to a little changing of SIF. The SIF for external tension (internal pressure on inner surface and on crack faces) is much larger than that for internal pressure (no crack face pressure). When a cylinder undergoes internal or external pressure, the SIF increases as the length of the cracks increases; but when a cylinder undergoes an autofrettage process, when the cracks are shorter, the negative SIF increases as the length of cracks increases, when the cracks are little longer, the negative SIF decreases obviously as the length of cracks increases.

4. CONCLuSIONS (1) The SIF for two and three asymmetrical radial inner cracks in thick walled cylinders undergoing two kinds of internal pressure and full autofrettage has been calculated respectively. (2) For two asymmetrical cracks, the SIF (negative SIF for an autofrettaged cylinder) increases as the angle B between two cracks increases; and when 0 = 90”, i.e. when the cracks become the symmetrical, the SIF reaches the largest magnitude. (3) For crack 1 of three asymmetrical cracks, the SIF (negative SIF for a autofrettaged cylinder) increases as the angle 8 between cracks 1 and 2 increases; when 0 tends to 180” the SIF of crack 1 tends to the largest magnitude. For crack 2, when 0 > 90”, the SIF decreases as the angle 0 increases; when 8 c 90”, the SIF increases as the angle increases; and when 8 is about 90”, the SIF reaches the largest magnitude. The largest SIF of cracks 1 and 2 are nearly equal to that of two symmetrical cracks. (4) For three cracks, the two faces of crack 1 will contact partially at some values of crack parameters due to internal pressure and external tension; and they will open partially near to the crack tip due to autofrettage.
