Investigation on Validity of J-Integral of Edge Crack under Cold Rolling Condition

Abstract:

In this paper the characterization of the edge crack in the strip steel are studied by using numerical simulation method. The developments of the stress and strain near the crack tip are obtained and the value of the J-integral of edge crack under the rolling process is then examined. FE simulation result shows that the J-integral is not always path independent in the whole rolling process. When the crack is far away from the roller, the J-integral is path independent. When the crack enters the cold rolling region, the unload phenomena will occur near the crack tip which cause the incremental theory of plasticity failed and the conservation of the J-integral is not valid any more. The J-integral failure region is then determined by a series of FE simulations.
