| Summary: | This project evaluated Stress intensity factor and weld toe magnification
factor of a semi – elliptical crack in a single fillet T-joint plate by using
ABAQUS XFEM. The effects of crack depth ratio and crack aspect ratio are
also investigated.
Both stress intensity factor of a plain plate and a plate with welded
attachment will be assess using a XFEM method. The magnification factor
will be obtained by taking the ratio of the stress intensity factor of a plain
plate to a single fillet T-joint plate. The simulation results will be compared
with result obtained from BS7910 stress intensity factor equations and weld
toe magnification factor equations. Furthermore, several sets of a/c & a/T
ratios are used for a better understanding of how the crack geometry will
affect the stress intensity factor of the plates. |
