Ductile Crack Growth Modeling under Low Cycle Fatigue Loading Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a numerical method using FE damage analysis to simulate ductile tearing in CT specimen under low cycle fatigue loading conditions. To define a cyclic material properties, the nonlinear kinematic hardening model is adopted. The damage model is defined based on the ductility exhaustion concept using the multi-axial fracture strain energy concept. The proposed model is then applied to simulate two cyclic fracture toughness tests with different R-ratios. Simulated results show overall good agreement with experimental results.
