Abstract

This paper describes general techniques for predicting multiaxial notch stresses and strains under elastic-plastic and creep conditions. The Neuber method, which is often used in elastic-plastic analysis, has been adapted and extended for predicting creep equivalent notch stresses and strains, based on a time-stepping integration scheme. A linear interpolation method, often used in creep analysis, is adapted and extended for predicting elastic-plastic equivalent stresses and strains. Then notch principal stresses and strains are obtained by applying plasticity theory in combination with assumptions concerning the ratios of the stress or strain components. The accuracy of the predicted equivalent and principal stress and strain values are assessed by comparing predictions based on them with results obtained from finite element analyses.
