Numerical Investigation of the Damage Behavior of S355 EBW by Cohesive Zone Modeling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the cohesive zone model is used to study the fracture behavior of an electron beam welded (EBW) steel joint. Mechanical properties of different weld regions are derived from the tensile test results of flat specimens, which are obtained from the respective weld regions. Based on the tensile test of notched round specimens, the cohesive strength T0 can be fixed. With the fixed T0 value, the cohesive model is applied to compact tension (C(T)) specimens with the initial crack located at different positions of weldment with different cohesive energy values Γ0. Numerical simulations are compared with the experimental results in the form of force vs. Crack Opening Displacement (COD) curves as well as fracture resistance (JR) curves.
