Abstract: Based on the theory of microscopic damage mechanics, a numerical simulation model of crack extension resistance of the girth welds with single edge notched tension and single edge notched bending was established using numerical simulation method. The fracture toughness of girth welds characterized by crack tip opening displacement under different in-plane and out-of-plane constraint condition was calculated based on the conditions corresponding to three types of weld strength:low strength matching, equal strength matching, and high strength matching. Furthermore, a comparison was performed on the rationality of different crack tip constraint parameters for describing the fracture toughness and constraints correlation. The results show that the correlation between constraints and fracture toughness established using the stress triaxiality is weak, while using the crack tip equivalent plastic zone area as the constraint parameter can better describe the effects of in-plane and out-of-plane constraints on the fracture toughness of the material. Therefore, a unified correlation between in-plane and out-of-plane constraints and girth weld fracture toughness was characterized using the area of the zone enclosed by the crack tip equivalent plastic strain contour as the constraint parameter; the robustness of the correlation established between constraints and ductility was further verified using the results of wide plate tensile tests and the finite element calculations of full-size pipe girth welds.

摘要: 基于细观损伤力学理论,采用数值仿真方法建立了单边缺口拉伸与单边缺口弯曲的环焊缝裂纹扩展阻力数值仿真计算模型,针对低强、等强以及高强3种焊缝强度匹配条件,分别计算了面内、面外耦合拘束条件下以裂纹尖端张开位移为表征的环焊缝断裂韧性,比较了不同裂尖拘束参数描述断裂韧性与拘束关联的合理性。结果表明,采用应力三轴度所建立的拘束—断裂韧性关联性较差,而采用裂尖等效塑性区面积作为拘束参数能够较好描述面内、面外拘束对材料断裂韧性的影响。因此,建立了以裂尖等效塑性应变等值线围成区域面积作为拘束参数,用以表征面内、面外拘束与环焊缝断裂韧性的统一关联;进一步采用宽板拉伸试验结果与全尺寸管道环焊缝的有限元计算结果验证了建立的拘束—韧性关联的稳健性。
