Thermographic evaluation of metal crack propagation during cyclic loading B. Hajshirmohammadi and M. M. Khonsari1 Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Louisiana State University 3283 Patrick Taylor Hall Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA Abstract

An analytical relationship between the stress intensity factor and temperature rise for a moving crack tip is proposed. Comparison of the predictions with experimental results shows good agreement in both trend and magnitude. The results reveal the potential of applying theromographical technique for assessing the behavior of crack growth.

1. Introduction Prediction of fatigue failure has long been an area of interest in the design of mechanical components that experience cyclic loading with rich volumes of research papers from various fronts. In particular, fatigue crack growth (FCG), as an inextricable part of fatigue failure, has captured the attention of many investigators since the end of the 20th century in an attempt to determine a relationship between the applied load and the propagation rate. While models are available that relate these parameters, the problem remains untouched when the loading of components under fatigue changes unpredictably during the operation. To this end, thermographic technology, as a non-destructive approach, can provide insight into the physical processes that take place during FCG. In the present study, a method is presented to predict a relationship between the crack propagation and the temperature rise near a moving crack tip by utilizing an infrared (IR) camera. Many research papers have provided models for quantifying crack propagation rate during the cyclic loading. Paris and Erdogan [1] were the first researchers who used the stress intensity factor to determine a relationship between the loading condition, crack length and the propagation speed. Their method was later modified by Walker [2] who considered the effect of mean stress. When a cracks start to propagate, a cyclic plastic zone is formed ahead of its tip. Due to the presence of the cyclic plastic strain in this area, heat generation is concentrated on the crack tip with a noticeable temperature rise in its vicinity. A part of the plastic dissipation, which is the source of this heat generation, is converted to heat. According to Zehnder et al [3], the ratio of the dissipated plastic energy which transforms to heat depends on a number of factors such as the yield strain, plastic strain, and the strain hardening of the material. According to Kallivayalil [4] and Wong and Kirby [5], the ratio of plastic dissipation to that converted to heat is in the range of 0.8 to 0.95. More recently, thermal imaging techniques have been used to attain more clear insight into the propagation mechanism. For example, Meneghetti et al. [6-9] have studied energy dissipation around the crack and found a relationship between energy dissipation and propagation rate in a specimen made of stainless steel. Studies pertaining to other materials such as Titanium alloys are reported by Vshivkov et al. [10, 11]. Another noteworthy example is the work of Zhang et al. [12] who investigated the cyclic plastic zone and found four different stages of propagation in 4003 ferritic stainless steel. Plastic dissipation mechanism was first proposed by Rice [13] as a method to formulate FCG and was solved using FEM by Klingbeil [14]. Later, Smith [15] studied the tensile overload in stainless steel 304 by applying the dissipated energy criterion to predict the crack propagation rate. The application of thermography for fatigue study is becoming widespread [16-23]. Recently, Huang et al. [24] proposed new methods for rapid determination of fatigue limit using thermal analysis. Manquin et al.[25] studied the initial stage of fatigue loading thermally and showed that in small stress levels, the heat generated was almost constant with cycle number. Yang et al. [26] used thermography for rapid evaluation of the reliability of high-cycle fatigue. Haung et al. [27] showed the usefulness of infrared measurements in life prediction of CFRP composites. Jรผrgen et al.[28] found thermoelastic effect to be useful in determination of dissipated energy of fatigue. 2|Page

In the present paper, the method introduced by Pandy et al. [29] is used to derive a formula between FCG and the temperature rise at the crack tip during cyclic loading. This approach is based on the classic work of HRR (Hutchinson-Rice-Rosengren) [30, 31] on the singularity solution for stressstrain angular distribution around the crack tip. The predictions of the present model are experimentally verified using stainless steel SS304 and SS316.

2. Theory and formulation According to the Ramberg-Osgood [32], the stress and strain behavior of metals can be described by the following relationship (1)

To determine the temperature rise around the crack, a double integration on the plastic zone area needs to be performed. This is a time-consuming process in addition to having a singularity issue when the value of ๐‘  in Eq. 14 approaches zero. Typically, the integration is divided into two regions with the singular point on the border of the two. This approach has been long practiced, yet it still

5|Page

has numerical difficulties. In order to solve these problems, an attempt is made to simplify the integration to a form that is more convenient to apply. The temperature rise on the crack tip can be determined by considering ๐ด = 0 and ๐‘… = 0 in Eq. 15. Since the zero order Bessel function of the second kind can be replaced with natural logarithm function ( ๐พ0 (๐‘ฅ)โ‰… โ€• ๐‘™๐‘›(x)) for ๐‘ฅ values close to zero and exp (๐‘ฅ)โ‰…1 + x for small values of argument ๐‘ฅโ‰ช1

Numerical procedure

To evaluate the accuracy of Eq. 20, its predictions are compared with the numerical solutions of the original complete integration of Eq. 15. The double integration of Eq. 15 is performed using the two-dimensional Simpsonโ€™s integration rule. The values for ๐œŽ๐‘’๐‘ž(๐‘›โ€ฒ,๐›น) and ๐œ–๐‘’๐‘ž(๐‘›โ€ฒ,๐›น) are determined using the approach suggested by Nikishkov [34] (see Appendix A).The propagation speed ๐‘ฃ in Eq. 20 is a function of stress the intensity factor range (โˆ†๐พ). Therefore, an iterative approach is needed to solve Eq. 20. The Paris law is used to determine ๐‘ฃ. Convergence is achieved normally after several trials. The temperature rise given by Eq. 20 and Eq. 15 are compared for different values of stress intensity factor in Fig. 2. The material properties used for the simulation is found in Table. 2 for SS 304 when frequency is 20 Hz. 80 Eq. 15 Eq. 20

It can be observed that the error is small in low-stress intensities and increases as it reaches the high values. Note that according to [35], โˆ†๐พ๐ผ = 100 ๐‘€๐‘ƒ๐‘Ž ๐‘š is above the region where crack propagation can be found by applying Paris law for SS304. Thus, the maximum error happens using Eq. 20 instead of double integration of Eq. 15; within the region where the Paris law is applicable, the error is less than 2%.

Specimen preparation

Flat specimens are used with a pre-crack notch of length 5 mm as depicted in Fig. 3. All the specimens are cut from steel strips and coated with a thin layer of black paint sprayed on the surface to increase thermal emissivity to the known value of 0.98 for the particular color. The tests are done in ambient temperature of 298 ๐พ. 5mm 5mm

3.3 Experimental procedure

8|Page

Experimental data are collected using a servo-hydraulic test machine with the maximum capacity of 50 kN in tension-compression loading. The machine can apply cyclic load with frequency as large as 75 Hz. The surface temperature is detected by means of an infrared (IR) camera (FLAIR A615) capable of capturing 640 ร— 480 pixel microbolometer (Fig. 4). The sensitivity is 50 mK and 100 frames per second can be recorded in the 640 ร— 480 pixel mode and as high as 200 frames per second can be captured for 640 ร— 120 resolution. Crack tip temperature is measured by mounting a Close-Up IR Lens, (16mm ร— 12mm) 1.5X (25ฮผm). A digital 40-1000X microscope is used to see the crack tip. The IR camera records the temperature from the front of the specimen and a microscope is placed behind the specimen where a set of LED lights make the surface clearer for the detection of the crack tip. As the crack moves during the test, the IR camera and microscope are moved using two separate sliding stages with electrical motors that makes it possible for both cameras to travel with variable speeds to track the movement of the crack. In order to accurately relate the crack length and propagation rate to stress intensity factor at any time during the test, each IR image has to be attributed to a specific microscope picture. This means that pictures have to be recorded and saved at the same rate. To perform this, a LabVIEW code is prepared that captures and saves images simultaneously from the two sources.

4. Results and discussion The value of the stress intensity factor is found by a 2D finite element simulation using the ABAQUS software. The results of FE analysis are validated by a process of mesh refinement to ensure that results are independent of the mesh size. The J integral method is applied in this regards with second-order elements. For each crack length, the stress intensity factor is calculated in 10 contours for J integral computation. MPC Beam constraint is used on the top surface of the specimen to account for rotation restriction there. To compensate for the motion of specimen, for each thermal image, the maximum temperature location is flagged and the images are made stable by removing the vertical motion of maximum temperature location. Furthermore, each image is processed to reduce any unexpected temperature jumps coming from noises. For this purpose, a smoothening algorithm is used which is based on local regression using linear least squares and a second-degree polynomial. The captured image of the crack tip in cyclic loading using a close-up lens shows the temperature rise around the tip in Fig. 5. Also shown the temperature evolution in three stages. At the beginning of the crack propagation, a temperature rise is seen until the crackโ€™s heat dissipation reaches a thermal equilibrium in the second region where the temperature is nearly steady. The third stage begins when the specimen reaches the time that around 90 percent of the total life (๐‘๐‘“) is passed.

Fig. 7 shows the predicted crack propagation speed as a function of a range of stress intensity factor for SS304 and SS316. It is seen that the region where Paris law is applicable for these two materials falls within 40 to 70 (๐‘€๐‘ƒ๐‘Ž ๐‘š) range. There is a resemblance between different stages of FCG in Fig. 7 and temperature evolution stages of Fig. 5. It is seen that the temperature rise at the end of the test corresponds to the 3rd stage of propagation in Figure 7. Physically, the final temperature rise is due to the fast accumulation of dissipated energy which makes the temperature unstable in this region. It is inferred from this figure that in a short period of time, the crack speed grows by 10-fold and this growth continues until the final fracture. After the fracture, the temperature drops rapidly (not shown in Fig. 5). The first stage of rapid growth after passing the threshold with a small amount of microplastic deformation is the reason for temperature rise. In the second stage, the inelastic effect and heat conduction reach an equilibrium and most of the life is spent there [36].

Figure. 7. Crack propagation speed in different stress intensity factors for SS304 and SS316

The Paris law constants of the two steel specimens used in the study are found according to Fig. 7. The values of these constants are close to each other in the ambient temperature. In Fig. 8 the temperature distribution ahead of the crack tip as predicted by Eq. 15 is compared with the test results. The experimental crack propagation speed is used to solve the temperature rise relation. It is seen that maximum temperature occurs in a small distance ahead of the tip and its value is very close to the crack tip temperature. This indicates that without knowing the location of the crack tip on the thermal image, the maximum temperature value can be used instead in Eq. 20. These plots show good agreement between the test results and the numerical solution of the model. It can be observed that the temperature drop from the crack tip is higher in elevated โˆ†๐พ๐ผ values. For example, for SS304 temperature drop at ๐‘Ÿ=8 mm when is around 1 degree when โˆ†๐พ๐ผ =40 while this number is 25 degrees for โˆ†๐พ๐ผ=100. This shows the concentration of heat generation is concentrated in a small area ahead of the crack tip, which is the cyclic plastic zone.

Fig. 9 compares the experimental measurement of stress intensity factor (SIF), โˆ†๐พ, obtained thermographically with the value given by Eq. 20 for the two materials used in this study. In this figure, โˆ†๐พ is plotted against the temperature rise at the crack tip. This is seen that temperature rise is a powerful parameter for effective prediction of the stress intensity. The temperature rise is small in the zone where the stress intensity factor is small. In Fig. 9 the simulation results are shown for two cases. For the first case, Eq. 20 is solved by using the crack speed (๐‘ฃ) predicted from the Paris law and in the second case the experimentally measured speed is applied in Eq. 20. It is seen that in when range is low, the Paris law gives reasonable results but in high speeds and that the thermography predicted SIF deviates from the experimental results. By using the experimentally measured speed in Eq. 20, the values predicted for stress intensity factor becomes close to the calculated SIF.

5. Conclusions A thermal imaging method applied in conjunction with the analysis of Pandy et al. [29] is proposed to determine the stress intensity factor of a moving crack in the first mode cyclic fatigue crack loading. The relation provides the stress intensity factor based on the temperature rise on tip of the crack. Experimental tests results show good agreement between the model and the empirical results. It is also shown that a simplified analytical model presented is capable of determining the stress intensity factor by measuring the temperature rise at the tip of the crack. In the proposed equation relating temperature rise and SIF, the crack speed could be plugged in from experimental results; however, implementing the Paris law for propagation speed yields reasonable results even for the range of SIF that are out of region where Paris law is applicable.

Substitution of ๐œ–๐‘Ÿ and ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ from Eqs. A.36 and A.37 into Eq.A.6 yields: (๐‘ ๐‘› + 1)๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘›๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ,๐‘Ÿ โ€• ๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘›๐œ–๐‘Ÿ = 0

(A.38)

which simplified to Eq. A.39. (๐‘ ๐‘› + 1)๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ โ€• ๐œ–๐‘Ÿ = 0

(A.39)

Rewriting Eq. A.4 for plain strain condition (๐œŽ๐‘ง๐œƒ = 0 and ๐œŽ๐‘ง๐œƒ,๐‘ง = 0) regarding Eq. A.12 yields: 1 ๐‘  2 ๐‘Ÿ ๐œŽ + ๐‘ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘  โ€• 1๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ + ๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ = 0 ๐‘Ÿ ๐œƒ,๐œƒ ๐‘Ÿ

(A.40)

Therefore, ๐œŽ๐œƒ,๐œƒ + ๐‘ ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ + 2๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ = 0

(A.41)

or, ๐œŽ๐œƒ,๐œƒ + (๐‘  + 2)๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ = 0

(A.42)

The same procedure is followed for Eq.A.3. ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ โ€• ๐œŽ๐œƒ 1 ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ,๐‘Ÿ + ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ,๐œƒ + =0 ๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ÿ

Putting back values using Eq.A.12 ๐‘ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘  โ€• 1๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ,๐‘Ÿ + ๐‘Ÿ๐‘  โ€• 1๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ,๐œƒ + ๐‘Ÿ๐‘  โ€• 1(๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ โ€• ๐œŽ๐œƒ) = 0

(A.44)

Thus, (๐‘  + 1)๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ + ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ,๐œƒ โ€• ๐œŽ๐œƒ = 0 ๐œ–๐œƒ

Finally, we arrive at the following set of differential equations using Eqs. A.35, A.39, A.42, A.45 and A.46.

๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ,๐œƒ + ๐‘ ๐‘›๐‘ข๐œƒ โ€• 2๐œ–๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ = 0 (๐‘ ๐‘› + 1)๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ โ€• ๐œ–๐‘Ÿ = 0 ๐œŽ๐œƒ,๐œƒ + (๐‘  + 2)๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ = 0 (๐‘  + 1)๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ + ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ,๐œƒ โ€• ๐œŽ๐œƒ = 0 ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ + ๐‘ข๐œƒ,๐œƒ โ€• ๐œ–๐œƒ = 0

(A.47)

The second relation in Eq. A.47 is differentiated in respect with ๐œƒ: (A.48)

(๐‘ ๐‘› + 1)๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ,๐œƒ โ€• ๐œ–๐‘Ÿ,๐œƒ = 0

Combining last equation with the first relation of the system of equations and applying Eq. A.50 yields Eq. A.51.

To find initial values of ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ and ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ at ๐œƒ = 0 there needs to be an initial guess for ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ|๐œƒ = 0 and ๐œŽ๐‘Ÿ๐œƒ|๐œƒ = 0 to start with. The following values are helpful in this regard for different ๐‘› values given in (A.73) ๐‘› = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20]

Highlights ๏‚ท ๏‚ท ๏‚ท

An analytical relationship between the stress intensity factor and temperature rise for a moving crack tip is proposed. The model is capable of determining the stress intensity factor by measuring the temperature rise at the tip of the crack. Experimental tests for crack speed for SS304 and SS316 are in good agreement with the model predictions.
