Abstract
Based on the stress–strain field at the crack tip of Rice-Kujawski-Ellyin (RKE) and considering the stress gradient effect near the crack tip of type I, a fatigue crack growth rate prediction model L-SG (RKE) for type I is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the stress gradient change value of 1 % at the crack tip is considered as the characteristic distance (stress gradient influence range), and the ratio of the equivalent stress to the far-field stress in the stress gradient influence range is defined as the stress gradient influence coefficient ρ; Secondly, the new model L-SG (RKE) is proposed to quantitatively describe the fatigue crack growth behavior by using the stress–strain field at the crack tip of RKE, and the stress gradient influence coefficient ρ is introduced, and then the crack tip passivation radius rp is defined to eliminate the crack tip singularity, and the plastic strain energy failure criterion is combined.; Finally, the prediction effect of the L-SG (RKE) model is verified by 6 metal materials and the fatigue crack growth rate test results of 2 groups of 45 steel CT specimens, and compared with the SHI-CAI (RKE) model. At the same time, based on the R2 fitting effect and the different requirements of the three stages of fatigue crack propagation, the prediction effect of the two prediction models is analyzed, and comprehensive evaluation from two aspects of safety and accuracy. The results show that the L-SG (RKE) prediction model can better reflect the actual fatigue crack propagation behavior, and can meet the requirements of practical engineering for the accuracy and safety of the prediction model. Especially, the prediction results of physical cracks in 45 steel shaft parts by this model agrees well with the experimental data.
