Abstract: | In the conceptual framework of fracture mechanics analyses, the study of cracked wires axially loaded has the highest interest since numerous structural elements (e.g. wires, cables, cordons or tendons) work under such a type of loading during their service lives. So, a method that allows the determination of stress states at the crack front should be welcome as a useful way for ensuring the structural integrity of those components for different environmental conditions (air, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement,…). To fill this gap, an engineering estimation of the critical stress intensity factor (SIF) is proposed in this paper for eutectoid steel cracked wires under axial loading. The critical SIF is calculated by considering, apart from the fatigue precrack, the subcritical crack propagation before final fracture. Such a subcritical crack propagation is the process zone (by micro-void coalescence MVC) in the case of fracture in air, the subcritical cracking by localized anodic dissolution (LAD) in stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and the tearing topography surface (TTS) in hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC). In addition, different SIF solutions are used in the analysis so as to have a more complete picture of the different phenomena leading to failure and to provide the designer with sound scientific tools. This method allows the engineer to design in the framework of structural integrity and damage tolerance. |
