Abstract
Ductile fracture of circumferential through-wall cracked pipe under large-amplitude load-controlled cyclic loading with three different load ratios was simulated using a fracture strain energy damage model. Damage model parameters were determined from a tensile test and a pipe test under monotonic loading. Comparison of simulated and experimental data reveals that the simulation results depend on the cyclic hardening model. Further investigation confirmed that selection of an appropriate cyclic hardening model is more important under load-controlled cyclic loading then under displacement-controlled one.
