Abstract
Engineering solutions for crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) and J-integral estimations for pipelines with a surface crack are proposed based on parametric finite element (FE) analyses for various geometries, material properties, and internal pressure conditions. Two kinds of CTOD definitions are considered in relation to strain-based estimation solutions for dealing with confusion regarding the definition of CTOD and to extend the applicability of tensile strain capacity (TSC) assessment. Moreover, influence functions of internal pressure are also suggested to take account of the effect of internal pressure on TSC. Using the proposed solutions, TSCs for cracked X65 and X70 pipes were assessed based on initiation and ductile instability. Curved wide plate tests were performed to obtain experimental TSCs, which were compared with those from the proposed solutions. Moreover, TSCs from the proposed solutions were also compared with those from other TSC-predicted models in order to assess their validity.
