The theoretical background for the J-Q-M approach for quantifying the constraint in weldments for fusion line cracks is presented. In this model, Q quantifies the geometry effects and M the material mismatch effects. Initially the approach was developed for a two-material modified boundary level (MBL) model, but later was extended to include three materials: weld metal, heat-affected zone and base material, and more realistic specimen geometries. The analysis with MBL models showed that the effect of mismatch was rather independent of the T-stress for both bi- and tri-material models, indicating that Q and M could be treated independently. However, analysis of fracture mechanics tension specimens made of three materials revealed that the mismatch effect in some cases could depend on the geometry effects. New calculations have demonstrated that the dependence/independence is related to load level, ratio of mismatch, and the local geometry.

The cumulative fatigue behavior of a cobalt-base superalloy, Haynes 188, was investigated at 760°C in air. Initially, strain-controlled tests were conducted on solid cylindrical gage section specimens of Haynes 188 under fully reversed, tensile and compressive mean strain-controlled fatigue tests. Fatigue data from these tests were used to establish the baseline fatigue behavior of the alloy with (1) a total strain range type fatigue life relation and (2) the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) parameter. Subsequently, two load-level multi-block fatigue tests were conducted on similar specimens of Haynes 188 at the same temperature. Fatigue lives of the multi-block tests were estimated with (1) the linear damage rule (LDR) and (2) the nonlinear damage curve approach (DCA) both with and without the consideration of mean stresses generated during the cumulative fatigue tests. Fatigue life predictions by the nonlinear DCA were much closer to the experimentally observed lives than those obtained by the LDR. In the presence of mean stresses, the SWT parameter estimated the fatigue lives more accurately under tensile conditions than under compressive conditions.

An overstress viscoplasticity model is proposed to describe the rate-dependent behavior of a polymeric composite during loading and unloading. In the model, a three-parameter function is used to describe viscoplastic strain rate. In the loading stage, the equilibrium stress is determined using a multi-step relaxation test performed during loading. During the initial unloading stage, owing to the fact that the viscoplastic strain rate is still positive, the material still experiences "loading," and the corresponding equilibrium stress is the equilibrium stress-strain curve for loading. In the second unloading stage, the viscoplastic strain rate becomes negative, and the material is in a true unloading mode for which the equilibrium stress is determined again using the multi-step "relaxation" test. The viscoplasticity model is found to be capable of capturing the characteristics of the rate-dependent loading and unloading behavior.

The main elements of implementation into a finite-element analysis (FEA) package of the earlier developed model for nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of plastics are described. The Henriksen scheme of discretization of the hereditary integral has been chosen for implementation. This scheme enables development of a fast procedure for modeling of viscoelastic behavior. As a result, the time necessary for calculation of problems of viscoelasticity is not much larger than the calculation time required for simulation of elasto-plastic behavior. Several discretization schemes have been analyzed, implemented in FEA software MARC and verified. The numerical algorithm, which is chosen as a result of comparison, allows us to reach a total deviation of less than 8% to 10% for the modeling of creep and recovery of PMMA and HDPE for the broad range of loading levels. The case study of a thick plate under distributed transversal loading is examined to compare the results achieved using the Schapery model with the newly proposed approach.

Stress intensity (K) predictions are presented using crack opening displacements with 1 / 4 points elements at the crack tip to simulate the crack tip singularity. These results are compared to available literature valuesunder remote applied tension for a 2D thru-crack and a 3D semi-elliptical surface crack geometry. Crack-opening displacements with ANSYS were found to calculate K for the 2D thru-crack geometry to within 1% of an available reference solution and were not strongly influenced by the crack tip mesh parameters evaluated. Predicted stress intensities with crack-opening displacements were then considered for the surface flaw geometry for a range of crack aspect ratios (0.2 ≤ a/c ≤ 2.0) and crack depths (0.01 ≤ a/T ≤ 0.8). K for the surface flaw geometry was also not significantly influenced by the crack tip mesh refinement and matched literature solutions to within ′5% of predicted K for the crack depth position. Predicted stress intensities at the surface position using crack-opening displacement approaches were: (a) not strictly valid given the nature of the crack tip singularity, (b) dependent on the stress state assumption, and (c) dependent on the degree of mesh refinement. These difficulties were avoided by selecting a 2° angular position below the surface with a plane strain assumption to calculate K from predicted crack-opening displacements. This approach produced a stress intensity that was reasonably assumed to be representative of K at the surface position and was not significantly influenced by the mesh refinement or stress state assumptions. K with this approach was somewhat higher than results using alternative approaches in the literature. The implication of these results compared to other finite element based results with respect to Raju-Newman interpolation equations are discussed with probability plots. Examples with crack opening models in specific aircraft engine components are also provided.

Barenblatt's idea of modeling the crack process zone by means of a cohesive zone has attracted considerable attention for predicting ductile crack growth. The model allows separation of the energy necessary for material separation from global plastic work. This has been a key problem in ductile fracture when searching for reasons for the geometry dependence of crack growth resistance curves. When using cohesive zone models, the correct determination of the cohesive zone material parameters is of eminent importance. In the past these parameters-the cohesive strength and the separation energy-were assumed to be material constants. However, micromechanical considerations show that this assumption is only an approximation in the case of ductile fracture. Here, the underlying mechanisms of void nucleation, growth, and coalescence are dependent on the stress triaxiality. This effect is accounted for in the new constitutive equation for cohesive zone models as presented here. In this new "triaxiality-dependent cohesive zone model," the cohesive material properties are taken to be dependent on the stress triaxiality in the solid element adjacent to the cohesive element. For low triaxiality, low values of cohesive strength and large values of the separation energy are observed; the opposite holds true for cases of high triaxiality. Ductile crack growth in a mild steel under quasistatic loading was investigated. The results from the use of the triaxiality-dependent cohesive zone model are compared to those of the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model as well as to the cohesive zone model with constant material parameters. The dissipation rate is shown to be a favorable measure for the characterization of the crack growth resistance. It allows the description of both the (global) plastic dissipation and the (local) work of fracture.

Accurate crack growth prediction methods are playing an increasing role in the design and evaluation of rotating gas turbine engine components. Fracture mechanics methods used to predict the cyclic lives (without time-dependent effects) are well established. As mission times and temperature increase, nickel base superalloys experience time-dependent crack growth where the crack growth response is a function of time under load (hold time) as well as overpeaks that occur prior to hold times. Linear elastic fracture mechanics methods have been developed that accurately predict the acceleration associated with hold times at elevated temperatures using a linear superposition of cyclic and static crack growth rates. The beneficial effects of retardation induced by overpeaks can be predicted using a modified Willenborg retardation model. Results of subcomponent validation tests for a variety of conditions and materials used to validate these methods are reported. Applicability of these model to predict complex missions and combinations of complex missions is also discussed.

Estimation of closure-corrected fatigue crack propagation (FCP) data in monolithic metal alloys was reported recently by the author, using a simple computational method. The quantity E√b, where E = the modulus of elasticity, and b, the dislocation Burgers vector, is used to define a stress intensity factor, corresponding to an FCP rate of b/cyc. The remainder of the FCP curve at higher FCP rates (where daldN > b) is found to follow a relation of the form: da/dN = (ΔK/E) 3 (1/√b). Good agreement is found between computed FCP data and recently reported experimental test results for various aluminum, titanium, and steel alloys. Such computations allow for a rapid and inexpensive way to estimate the FCP response of metals under both long and short crack growth conditions.

The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is revising the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA: WAC 173-340-7490 to 7494) to include terrestrial food pathways in an ecological risk evaluation and to set cleanup levels. One of the key provisions of the ecological risk assessment approach proposed by Ecology is a generic simplified "foodweb" model that would be used to set cleanup levels. The terrestrial model is based on four feeding guilds and default species are the earthworm, shrew, vole, and robin. The use of a foodweb model implies that the results should in some way be descriptive of the ecosystem being evaluated. Any decision criterion (e.g., a benchmark or cleanup level) should be site-specific, and based on species present at the site. The default species are not representative of the fauna in the native shrub-steppe ecosystem of the Hanford Site. Therefore, the use of species not present at the site to set soil cleanup levels seems flawed. Alternative species for the four feeding guilds have been selected. Species specific exposure parameters were developed from the literature.

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) is the name given to a body of fracture technology that includes parameters, test methods, and analysis techniques. EPFM began in the 1960s, soon after it was recognized that the linear elastic approach to fracture mechanics was too limited to cover many engineering applications. It began in response to real engineering problems and continues to develop in the same application-driven mode. The development of EPFM spans more than three decades. It involved many people and a multitude of good ideas. Some of the people have gone on to other pursuits, and many of the ideas have been set aside or discarded in the never-ending debate about which is the best approach. The development of EPFM is not complete, nor is the controversy ended. It is important to look back at the factors that influenced such a vast development of technology before trying to forge ahead. This paper takes a look at the area of fracture mechanics called EPFM. It considers the development of a technology that involved people, places, and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of technical ideas. It considers what happened in the past, what is going on in the present, and speculates about what will happen for the future. Its purpose is to stop for a moment and consider for EPFM: Where has it been? Where is it going?
