Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider the development of engineering ways of preventing the further development of through cracks in the sheet elements of the complex technical structures. The latest individual approach to the assessment and assurance of performance of structures with cracks, which is to take into account the features of their operation, has been applied in this work. Preference is given to methods that reduce the concentration in the danger zone. Studies have shown that the most appropriate and effective ways to prevent the further development of a through crack are the structural methods and combinations of the structural and technological methods. The effectiveness of these methods was determined on the basis of the strength uniformity approach of structural elements with a crack. The criterion of strength uniformity from the position of fatigue and brittle strength with an error on the safe side is the value of theoretical stress concentration factor [K]. The[K] value was made on the basis of generalization and analysis of cases of crack formation, the results of tests of typical components of hull structures and welded joints. The safe concentration of stresses near the holes of various purposes in the members of the machine-building structures is in the range from 2 to 4. Taking into account the relevant requirements for the ratio of the radius of curvature and the width of the cutout, we obtain 3.5. The value of the criterion К1 is determined by the ratio of the calculated crack length to the diameter of the hole drilled at its ends and the location of the crack.

Highlights

  • The use of fracture mechanics to assess the performance of machine-building structures made it possible to proceed to the normalization of various parameters characterizing the crack resistance of the material [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

  • Studies have shown [2, 4, 10] that the most appropriate and effective ways to prevent the further development of a through crack situated in a flat structural element during operation and repair are the structural methods and combinations of the structural and technological methods

  • The cracking is explained in most cases not by the high level of stress macroconcentration as much as by the combination of macroconcentration with microconcentration and such adverse factors as poor quality steel, low temperature, dynamic loads, etc. [1, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]

Summary

Introduction

The use of fracture mechanics to assess the performance of machine-building structures made it possible to proceed to the normalization of various parameters characterizing the crack resistance of the material [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. An individual approach to assessing and ensuring the performance of nodes and parts with cracks remains relevant It takes into account the features of operation in machine drives [2,3,4]. It allows to assess the need to repair or replace a part of the metal
