DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn order to apply the damage tolerance design philosophy to design marine structures, accurate prediction of fatigue crack growth under service conditions is required. Now, more and more people have realized that only a fatigue life prediction method based on fatigue crack propagation (FCP) theory has the potential to explain various fatigue phenomena observed. In this book, the issues leading towards the development of a unified fatigue life prediction (UFLP) method based on FCP theory are addressed. Based on the philosophy of the UFLP method, the current inconsistency between fatigue design and inspection of marine structures could be resolved. This book presents the state-of-the-art and recent advances, including those by the authors, in fatigue studies. It is designed to lead the future directions and to provide a useful tool in many practical applications. It is intended to address to engineers, naval architects, research staff, professionals and graduates engaged in fatigue prevention design and survey of marine structures, in fatigue studies of materials and structures, in experimental laboratory research, in planning the repair and maintenance of existing structures, and in rule development. The book is also an effective educational aid in naval architecture, marine, civil and mechanical engineering. Prof. Weicheng Cui is the Dean of Hadal Science and Technology Research Center of Shanghai Ocean University, China. Dr. Xiaoping Huang is an associate professor of School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Ship Structure Committee (SSC) identified a lack of information required for structural integrity and damage tolerance analyses of aluminum marine structures. The development of such data is vital in light of the increased use of aluminum alloys in marine construction. Under SSC project SR-1447, Fracture Technology Associates was contracted to characterize, through experimental fracture mechanics, the fatigue crack growth (FCG) resistance and fracture toughness of three aluminum alloys (5083, 5086, 5383) used in marine structural applications. Fatigue crack growth testing was performed following ASTM Standard E 647-00 in laboratory air at room temperature and in simulated ocean water per ASTM Standard D 1141. Non-linear fracture toughness testing was performed in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1820-01 in laboratory air at room temperature. For the three different grades of material, the difference in fatigue crack growth rate in laboratory air was negligible. In simulated seawater environment, AA5086 showed a slightly superior performance. In addition, all samples showed the same ranking of toughness with the 5086 showing the highest toughness, followed by 5083 and then 5383.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCastastrophic failure of Liberty Ships and T-2 tankers during Word War II and many ships' failures thereafter instigated extensive research into the problem of brittle fracture. Later, the failure of missiles and aircraft gave a new boost to fracture research in the late 50's and 60's. New concepts of fatigue analysis and fracture are being continuously established and refined.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLocal approaches to fatigue assessment are used to predict the structural durability of welded joints, to optimise their design and to evaluate unforeseen joint failures. This standard work provides a systematic survey of the principles and practical applications of the various methods. It covers the hot spot structural stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch stress and notch strain approach to crack initiation and the fracture mechanics approach to crack propagation. Seam-welded and spot-welded joints in structural steels and aluminium alloys are also considered.This completely reworked second edition takes into account the tremendous progress in understanding and applying local approaches which has been achieved in the last decade. It is a standard reference for designers, structural analysts and testing engineers who are responsible for the fatigue-resistant in-service behaviour of welded structures. Completely reworked second edition of a standard work providing a systematic survey of the principles and practical applications of the various methods Covers the hot spot structural stress approach to fatigue in general, the notch stress and notch strain approach to crack initiation and the fracture mechanics approach to crack propagation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMajority of industrial components fail due to the conjoint actions of fatigue and corrosion. All fatigue failures including one in air can be categorized as corrosion fatigue. Absolute fatigue can take place only in vacuum or inert environment. The effect of corrosion on fatigue has been extensively studied by determining the stress vs. number of cycles (S-N) curve. S-N curve depicts the final fracture, it does not separate the crack initiation and crack propagation. The defect tolerant design based on fracture mechanics concepts assumes that some forms of defects are already present in the materials and a considerable life in spent in crack propagation before the final fracture. Measure of resistance of a material to crack growth (fracture toughness) then becomes extremely important. It is now possible to describe material property of fracture toughness in terms of applied intensity of stress near the crack tip (K). Fracture mechanics based on elastic material behavior (absence of significant yielding) , referred to as the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) is well suited to materials which have limited ductility. The stress intensity factor (K ) is used both for conditions of static loading (Stress Corrosion Cracking) and for the moving cracks during fatigue loading . In this book the results of corrosion fatigue crack growth on 7075 - Alclad alloy are presented. This alloy is widely used in aircraft and automobile industries. Corrosion resistance is obtained by cladding with a more corrosion resistant aluminum alloy. However, the corrosion protection system may undergo rupture especially during crack growth in the underlying metal. Environment will then play a dominant role in the crack growth process. The design of reliable aircraft structures requires provision that cracks do not propagate under cyclic loading to reach a critical size resulting in fracture. The understanding of crack propagation under the conjoint action of corrosion and fatigue is thus of great technological and economic significance. Conflicting observations have been reported in literature regarding the influence of microstructure and environmental variables on the corrosion crack propagation rates.
