J integral solution for semi-elliptical surface crack in high density poly-ethylene pipe under bending
چکیده انگلیسی

The goal of this work is to analyse the severity of semi-elliptical crack defects and to study the degree of damage in the poly-ethylene pipe in bending during the crack propagation. The semi-elliptical cracks are considered in this work located in different position in the wall of the pipe. The three finite element method based on the computation of the J integral was used to analyse the fracture behaviour of these structures. The effect of the position, shape and size of the crack on the J integral values was highlighted. The effects of strain rate and the temperature on the J integral values were also examined. The obtained results show that the strain rates have a strong influence on the J integral values especially for circumferential crack at higher bending moment. However, the energy for circumferential crack is more important compared to axial crack. The effect of the depth of the crack becomes important when the ratio (a/t) reaches a critical value of 0.6 (a/t = 0.6), especially when the ratio a/c is weak (semi-elliptical crack, a/c = 0.2) where the J integral values becomes independently of the crack depth, this conclusion is opposite to the above for the poly-ethylene pipe subjected to internal pressure. We recall finally, that the temperature effect on circumferential cracks behaviour is more important compared to the axial cracks at critical crack size (a/c = 0.2 and a/t = 0.6). It is also shown that in the wall of pipe, the internal cracks are more dangerous than the external cracks.

Research highlights
► The circumferential crack is more dangerous than the axial cracks with respect the cracks sizes.
► The effect of the strain rate on the J integral values is weak for axial cracks.
► The temperature has a significant effect on the J integral variation along the crack front.
