Corrosion Fatigue Crack Propagation of 6151-T6 Aluminum Alloy Based on Virtual Crack Closure Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), an interface element that can calculate stress intensity factors (SIFs) directly and simulate the crack propagation conveniently has been developed. Based on an accelerated corrosion experiment, the fatigue crack propagation behavior of the 6151-T6 aluminum alloys under different corrosion years and stress levels were simulated, and it was proved to be convenient to calculate strain energy release rate and SIFs of AA 6151-T6 under different stress levels and corrosion years. The proposed method is characterized by higher accuracy and less calculation elements, provides a new way for engineering fracture analysis of the structure.
