Ameen Ahmed Nassar

Pages: 112-122

PDF Full Text
Abstract

New illustration for mixed mode fracture mechanics analysis of central cracked plates using crack extension technique and Matlab Environment is presented. The technique of crack extension is applied to the computation of mixed mode stress intensity factors in linear elastic fracture mechanics for these plates for different loads. The technique uses the Brown approximate solutions for stress intensity factors and the Westergaard analytical solutions for stress and displacement near a crack tip in finite plate to calculate crack extension during each load step using an proved to be a good tool for computation and results illustration for mixed mode stress intensity factors. The results were illustrated in a new form which is convenient for engineers and fracture mechanics analyst. The developed procedure reduced the need for sophisticated numerical analyses, which require more time and effort, to calculate the same parameters tackled in this research.

Investigation of Stress Intensity Factor Reduction using Steel and GFRP Patches for Repairing Edge Cracks in Steel Plates

Zainab Najih Jassam, Rafil M. Laftah

Pages: 12-19

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The ultimate objective of this study was to compare the performance of repaired edge cracks in steel plates before and after repair with patches made of steel patch and glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite patches (GFRP) in different shapes: circular, rectangular, and trapezoidal, under two conditions: unsymmetric patch (one patch) and symmetric patch (two patches). A three-dimensional finite element model of the one-sided and two-sided repaired examples is used to study how the steel and composite patch affect the stress intensity factor (SIF). Under uniaxial tensile loads, the use of steel patches and GFRP composite patches to repair cracks was studied. The results showed that the steel patch performs better than the GFRP patch because it significantly lowers the stress intensity factor (SIF). The symmetric patch arrangement (two patches) is better than the un-symmetric patch arrangement (one patch) because it significantly reduces the stress intensity factor (SIF).

Experimental Study of the Effect of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining on Crack tip Opening Displacement for Compact Tension Specimens of Low Carbon Steel

Sara A. Khudair, Atheed H. Taha, Ameen A. Nassar

Pages: 58-71

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Fracture mechanics approach is important for all mechanical and civil projects that might involve cracks in metallic materials the purpose of this paper is to determine a crack tip opening displacement fracture toughness experimentally, also study the effect of thickness on CTOD fracture toughness of low carbon steel and study the effect of Wire Electrical Discharge Machine (WEDM) to have a pre-crack, instead of fatigue pre-crack by using a CT specimen of low carbon steel with a thickness of (8,10, and15 mm), a width of 30mm, crack length of 15mm, and pre-crack of 1.3mm for all samples, this dimension according to ASTM-E399-13, by pulling the specimen in a 100 KN universal testing machine at a slow speed rate of 0.5 mm/min, the load applied on the specimen is generally a tension load. The crack tip plastically deforms until a critical point P C at this moment a crack is initiated. The computer-controlled universal testing machine gives the value of the load and the displacement transducer gives a crack mouth opening displacement. Critical crack tip opening displacement CTOD is found with the plastic hinge model (PHM) method. The result showed the stress intensity factor K I increases with increased loading in the elastic region and t he thickness effect refers to the effect of the plastic zone at the crack tip on the stress intensity factor, In a thin specimen, a plastic zone is large at the fracture tip leads to a high-stress intensity factor at the fracture tip but in the thick specimen, on the other hand, has a small a plastic zone and a low-stress intensity factor around the crack tip. The fracture toughness is found to increase with an increase in the thickness of specimens.

A. K. F. Hassan, Ossama Abdul Aziz

Pages: 126-149

PDF Full Text
Abstract

This paper deals with the computer simulation of stress distribution in a plane model of mild steel under biaxial tensile loading. The goal is to visualize the crack behavior under deferent ratios of biaxial loading through linear elastic fracture mechanics theory. A finite element method is considered in calculating the mixed mode of stress intensity factor that governing the influence of stresses distribution around the crack. Aspects of crack propagation are considered. It is found that the mw.imum ci..-cumfcrcnce .stress is not of the plane of crack but that inclined by an angle (68) from it.
