Fatigue crack growth model has been developed for dissimilar metal weld joints of a piping component under cyclic loading, where in the crack is located at the center of the weld in the circumferential direction. The fracture parameter, Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) has been computed by using principle of superposition as K_H + K_M. K_H is evaluated by assuming that, the complete specimen is made of the material containing the notch location. In second stage, the stress field ahead of the crack tip, accounting for the strength mismatch, the applied load and geometry has been characterized to evaluate SIF (K_M). For each incremental crack depth, stress field ahead of the crack tip has been quantified by using J-integral (elastic), mismatch ratio, plastic interaction factor and stress parallel to the crack surface. The associated constants for evaluation of K_M have been computed by using the quantified stress field with respect to the distance from the crack tip. Net SIF (K_H + K_M) computed, has been used for the crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction by Paris crack growth model. To validate the model, SIF and remaining life has been predicted for a pipe made up of (i) SA312 Type 304LN austenitic stainless steel and SA508 Gr. 3 Cl. 1. Low alloy carbon steel (ii) welded SA312 Type 304LN austenitic stainless-steel pipe. From the studies, it is observed that the model could predict the remaining life of DMWJ piping components with a maximum difference of 15% compared to experimental observations.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a type of ultra-high strength concrete that has a relatively high brittleness. However, its ductility can be improved by confinement, and the use of RPC in composite RPC filled steel tube columns has become an important subject of research in recent years. This paper aims to present an experimental study of axial capacity calculation of RPC filled circular steel tube columns. Twenty short columns under axial compression were tested and information on their failure patterns, deformation performance, confinement mechanism and load capacity were presented. The effects of load conditions, diameter-thickness ratio and compressive strength of RPC on the axial behavior were further discussed. The experimental results show that: (1) specimens display drum-shaped failure or shear failure respectively with different confinement coefficients, and the load capacity of most specimens increases after the peak load; (2) the steel tube only provides lateral confinement in the elastic-plastic stage for fully loaded specimens, while the confinement effect from steel tube initials at the set of loading for partially loaded specimens; (3) confinement increases the load capacity of specimens by 3% to 38%, and this increase is more pronounced as the confinement coefficient becomes larger; (4) the residual capacity-to-ultimate capacity ratio is larger than 0.75 for test specimens, thus identifying the composite columns have good ductility. The working mechanism and force model of the composite columns were analyzed, and based on the twin-shear unified strength theory, calculation methods of axial capacity for columns with two load conditions were established.

본 체결부는 필라멘트 와인딩으로 제작된 연소관, 복합재 쐐기 그리고 알루미늄 내부 링으로 구성된다. 여기서 연소관은 헬리컬 층과 후프 층으로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 복합재 연소관의 성능 향상을 위해 체결부의 설계 변수에 따른 유한 요소 응력 해석이 수행되었다. 이때 접착 층을 난-소성 거동 재질로, 쐐기부와 알루미늄 링간의 접촉 상태는 ABAQUS의 접촉 표면 요소로 모사 되었다. 또한 해석 결과의 정확성을 입증하기 위해 내압에 의한 체결부 밀림 변위와 연소관 몸체의 원주 방향 변형도를 수압 시험과 비교하였다. 쐐기와 알루미늄 링간의 완벽 접착은 쐐기와 연소관간의 접착 층에 높은 전단 변형을 발생시켜 체결부 조기 파괴의 원인이 된다. 쐐기와 알루미늄 링간의 미 접착은 쐐기와 연소관사이의 접착 층 전단 응력을 감소시키는 반면 내부 알루미늄 링의 미끄러짐 거동으로 체결부 복합재의 반경 방향 변형을 증가시켜 파괴를 유발하였다. 그러나 쐐기부와 알루미늄 링간의 미접착 상태에서, 원주 방향 와인딩으로 체결부 지점을 보강한 경우, 알루미늄 링의 미끌어짐이 억제되어 체결부 지점의 복합재 원주 방향 변형값이 감소했다.
