ABSTRACT |
ndicular to the welding bead subjected to the residual stress was carried out using a stress function.At first,the conditions which should be satisfied for the residual stress by welding were examined.Then the simulation function satisfying these conditions was proposed.Next,the stress intensity factors of an arbitrary crack perpendicular to the butt weld,which subjected to the effect of residual stress most severely,were derived by using the proposed function.The redistribution form of the residual stress near the crack was also eveluated and compared with the testing results obtained by Kanazawa,et al.Finally,the following effective stress intensity factor range ΔKeff,instead of conventional ΔK,was proposed to evaluate the effect of residual stress on the fatigue crack propagation of a crack.ΔKeff=ΔK(1+Kres/ΔK) where,Kres is the stress intensity factor induced by residual stress by welding.The effectiveness of ΔKeff was proved by examining the experimental fatigue crack propagation data obtained by G |
