Abstract

Approach for numerical simulation of the process of the creep crack growth taking into account the hidden material damage is proposed. The approach is based on the application of finite element creep modeling, accompanied by damage. For calculations, the FEM Creep software package is used. Using the proposed algorithm for rebuilding the grid with the removal of the destroyed elements, the current picture of deformation and fracture is analyzed. This takes into account the growing level of damage during the crack motion in each element. Numerical fracture simulation data are used to determine the constants in the differential creep fracture propagation equation. As an example, the creep fracture of planar specimens with sharp notches in their plane is considered. The material of the specimens is a high-temperature nickel-based alloy EI 867 at a temperature of 950 °C. Calculations are carried out for different values of the load. For different times, finite element grids with remote elements are shown. Graphs of the dependence of crack length on time are built. Comparison of numerical and calculated data obtained with the motion equation of a crack shows their acceptable coincidence. The possibility of using the proposed approach for obtaining constants in the equation of crack motion as an alternative to the existing experimental one is discussed.
