Pit to crack transition in stress corrosion cracking of a steam turbine disc steel

Long term exposure tests have been carried out on a 3 NiCrMoV steam turbine disc steel in the form of cylindrical tensile test specimens self-loaded to 90% of σ_0.2 and exposed to three environmental conditions, viz. deaerated pure water, aerated pure water, and aerated water containing 1.5 ppm of chloride ion. Pitting occurred in all environments but the density and depth of pits in the chloride-containing medium was markedly greater. No cracking was observed in deaerated pure water but cracks initiated in aerated water between 13 and 19 months and in less than 7 months in aerated 1.5 ppm Cl⁻ solution. The probability of a crack initiating from a pit of specific depth in aerated solution could be described well by a Weibull function. Profiling of pits and cracks in the disc steel tested in aerated 1.5 ppm Cl⁻ solution showed that there while there were many cracks with a depth greater than that of the corresponding pit the depth of some cracks was smaller than that of the corresponding pit, suggesting that cracks do not necessarily initiate from the bottom of the pits. The growth rate of short cracks emerging from pits appeared greater than that of long cracks in fracture mechanics specimens.

Nonlinear Stress-Strain Relationship of Soil Reinforced with Flexible Geofibers

A nonlinear stress-strain relationship of soil reinforced with flexible geofibers under static loading is derived based on a nonlinear elastic stress-strain relationship of soil and a linear elastic stress-strain relationship of geofibers in the paper. This investigation includes the following aspects: First, the homogenization technique is introduced to find the volume average stress tensor and volume average strain tensor and further an elastic incremental stress-strain relation is introduced to describe deviatoric shear stress-axial strain relationship of equivalent homogeneous geofiber-reinforced soil. Second, the relation of geofiber numbers, content, mechanical behavior, distribution, and geometrical features to shear modulus of geofiber-reinforced soil is expressed and assessed by employing an elastic energy method. Third, the deviatoric shear stress and axial strain curves of geofiber-reinforced soil are calibrated by laboratory testing data of geofiber reinforced soil samples. Finally, the theoretical computational curves of geofiber reinforced soil are compared with the curves calibrated by testing data of geofiber reinforced soil. The model prediction has a good agreement with experimental results.     

A new numerical analysis for a semi-circular surface crack

This note is concerned with a surface semi-circular crack by using the fracture analysis software FRANC3D developed by a fracture mechanics investigation group of Cornell University. Attention is specifically paid to the effect of the boundaries parallel to the crack on the stress intensity factors (SIFs).     

Stress analysis of pin-loaded woven-glass fiber reinforced epoxy laminate conveying chain components

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of various loading conditions on the stress of a pin-loaded woven-glass fiber reinforced epoxy laminate conveying chain component. A numerical and experimental study was carried out to determine the stress distribution of composite conveying chain components used to convey loads. For the experimental study, an apparatus was developed to simulate chain components in real motion. Two different working conditions of the chain component were investigated. The first condition represents the movement of the chain components without loading. In the second condition, the chain component touches and moves the load. The commercial finite element package ANSYS was used to perform the numerical analysis using a three dimensional eight-noded layered structural solid elements. Chain tensile forces were loaded through pins and chosen as 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 N for the two conditions of chain components. Experimental and numerical studies were compared and discussed for two conditions and five different tensile forces. A good agreement between experimental results and numerical predictions is obtained.

Stress in photochromic and electrochromic effects on tungsten oxide film

Optical absorbance at 632.8 nm and the stress generated in tungsten oxide film due to photochromic and electrochromic effects were measured. WO₃ thin films were deposited by reactive sputtering and the absorbance was obtained by measuring the optical transmittance of a laser beam through the film. The stress was calculated by measuring the substrate curvature and using the Stoney equation for multilayered films, since two layers are deposited onto a substrate for the electrochromism studies. The optical absorbance and the stress in the tungsten oxide film, as a function of UV irradiation time in photochromism and of inserted charge in electrochromism, are showed and discussed. In both effects the stresses generated were rendered as due to cation insertions into the film: H⁺ protons in photochromism and Li⁺ ions in electrochromism. The accuracy of the Stoney equation used for the stress calculation was also discussed.     

Assessment of service exposed boiler tubes

Boiler tubes in power plants have finite life because of prolonged exposure to high temperature, stress and aggressive environment. Service-exposed platen superheater and reheater tubes (148,900 h) made of 2.25Cr-1 Mo steels in a 120 MW boiler of a thermal power plant were evaluated for remnant life. The investigation included hot tensile tests, hardness measurement, dimensional measurement, microscopy and creep tests. Experimentally determined yield and ultimate tensile strength, and estimated 10,000–100,000 h rupture strength in the temperature range 520–580 °C, exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing temperature. Microstructural study did not reveal any significant degradation in terms of creep cavities, cracks, graphitization, etc. Analysis of tensile and stress rupture data revealed that although there was degradation of the tubes due to prolonged service exposure in terms of the ultimate tensile strength values, stress rupture plots showed that the service exposed superheater and reheater tubes could remain in service for a length of more than 10 years at the operating hoop stress of 40 MPa/540 °C, provided no localised damage in the form of cracks or dents develop.
