Effect of Creep on Stress and Strain at the Tip of Stress Corrosion Cracking in High Temperature Water Environments

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stress and strain at the crack tip are main mechanical parameters which estimate the stress corrosion cracking rate in metals, and the creep of metals in high temperature and high pressure environment will lead to the redistribution of stress and strain nearby the crack tip. The effects of creep on stress and strain nearby the crack tip are discussed by using 1T-CT specimen and finite element method in this study. The investigated results indicate that both increasing of temperature and stress intensity factor would induce the equivalent creep strain increases at the crack tip.
