Abstract
This paper describes ductile fracture simulation for Battelle fracture toughness and full-scale pipe tests (1). Materials in this research are low carbon steel and TP304 stainless steel. Tensile and Compact tension (CT) specimens are simulated to determine the fracture criteria with finite element (FE) method. Then, pipes containing through wall crack and surface crack are predicted by proposed damage method. The results from simulations are compared with test data for verification of proposed method and to check the applicability on industrial field. It is shown that predicted simulation results are compared with experimentally measured values, showing overall good agreements.
