[en] FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN ARBITRARY 2D GEOMETRIES UNDER COMPLEX LOADING. / [pt] PROPAGAÇÃO DE TRINCAS POR FADIGA EM GEOMETRIAS 2D COMPLEXAS SOB CARGAS CÍCLICAS VARIÁVEIS

ANTONIO CARLOS DE OLIVEIRA MIRANDA 13 May 2003 (has links)
[pt] Uma metodologia eficiente e segura é proposta para prever a propagação de trincas de fadiga sob carregamento complexo em estruturas bidimensionais com geometria genérica. Primeiro, o caminho da trinca (em geral curvo) e os fatores de intensidade de tensão KI(a) e KII(a) ao longo do comprimento da trinca a são calculados num programa de elementos finitos especialmente desenvolvido para este fim, o Quebra2D. Estes cálculos são feitos usando pequenos incrementos especificáveis no tamanho da trinca e técnicas de remalhamento automatizadas. Os valores de KI(a) são usados como dados de entrada num programa de previsão de vida à fadiga, o ViDa. Esse programa foi desenvolvido para prever a iniciação e a propagação de trincas 1D e 2D sob carregamento complexo por todos os métodos clássicos, incluindo SN, eN e IIW (estruturas soldadas) para a iniciação da trinca, e o método da/dN para a propagação. Em particular, o módulo que propaga a trinca aceita qualquer expressão de KI(a) e qualquer regra da/dN, e usa o método DKrms ou CCC (crescimento ciclo-a-ciclo) para prever a propagação de trincas uni e bidimensionais sob carregamento complexo. A análise numérica proposta foi verificada através de vários experimentos representativos, cuja metodologia experimental é discutida em detalhes. / [en] A reliable and cost effective two-phase methodology is proposed to predict fatigue crack propagation in generic two-dimensional structural components under complex loading. First, the fatigue crack path and its stress intensity factor are calculated in a specialized finite- element software, using small crack increments. Numerical methods are used to calculate the crack propagation path, based on the computation of the crack incremental direction, and the stress-intensity factors KI, from the finite element response. Then, an analytical expression is adjusted to the calculated KI(a) values, where a is the length along the crack path. This KI(a) expression is used as an input to a powerful general purpose fatigue design software based on the local approach, developed to predict both initiation and propagation fatigue lives under complex loading by all classical design methods, including the SN, the eN and the IIW (for welded structures) to deal with crack initiation, and the da/dN to treat propagation problems. In particular, its crack propagation module accepts any KI expression and any da/dN rule, using the DKrms or the cycle-by-cycle propagation methods to deal with one and twodimensional crack propagation under complex loading. If requested, this latter method may include overload-induced crack retardation effects. This two-phase methodology is experimentally validated by fatigue tests on compact tension and bending single edge notch specimens, modified with holes positioned to attract or to deflect the cracks.
