Abstract

In piping components, for the stability assessment it is important to calculate the point of initiation of the crack and to monitor the subsequent crack propagation behaviour. The objective of this paper is to use the finite element method backed up with experimental results to determine the crack initiation stage and to subsequently predict the crack propagation behaviour under fatigue loading. With reference to full scale surface cracked carbon steel pipes tested data, the accuracy of the numerical procedure is judged. It is concluded that semi-elliptical SIFs solutions should not be used to assess the fatigue life when straight pipe is having constant depth crack profile
