Effect of Welded Mechanical Heterogeneity on Fracture Parameters at the Crack Tip

Article Preview

Abstract:

The welded joint is the critical area in the structure integrity investigation. To understand the influence of the mechanical heterogeneous on the fracture parameters in welded joint, the represented way of the welded mechanical heterogeneity and its effect on the mechanical parameters at the crack tip are analyzed by using an elastic-plastic finite element analysis software in this paper. The investigated results indicate that continuous change of material mechanical properties could express the effect of the actual welded mechanical heterogeneity on the fracture mechanical parameters change in the welded joint more accurately, which provide a new approach on the fracture problem investigation in welded joints.
