Prediction of the Plastic Fracture Mechanical Properties on Metallurgical Composite Bimetallic Tube with Axial Crack

Abstract:

Based on the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the CT specimens of bimetallic material and the metallurgical composite bimetallic pressure tube with axial crack were simulated on the fracture mechanical properties, after that the crack growth residual strength and the plastic failure stress of the metallurgical composite bimetallic pressure tube model were obtained. The results indicate that the crack growth residual strength generates near the crack tip and the crack growth residual strength of the pressure tube model is smaller than the CT specimens. Meanwhile, the plastic failure stress values obtained from the CT specimens and the pressure tube model are basically consistent with the theoretical calculative values. With the crack depth a increasing, the plastic failure stress values will be reduced. For the same crack depth, the plastic failure stress values of the pressure tube model are slightly lower than the CT specimens and the theoretical calculative values.
