Abstract

This paper proposes a method to determine the elastic follow-up factors for the $C(t)$-integral under secondary stress. The rate of creep crack growth for transient creep is correlated with the $C(t)$-integral. Elastic follow-up behavior, which occurs in structures under secondary loading, prevents a relaxation of stress during transient creep. Thus, both the values of $C(t)$ and creep crack growth increase as increasing elastic follow-up. An estimation solution for $C(t)$ was proposed by Ainsworth and Dean based on the reference stress method. To predict the value of $C(t)$ using this solution, an independent method to determine the elastic follow-up factors for cracked bodies is needed. This paper proposed that the elastic follow-up factors for $C(t)$ can be determined by elastic-plastic analyses using the plastic-creep analogy. Finite element analyses were performed to verify this method.

본 논문은 이차하중을 받는 고온 구조물의 $C(t)$-적분 예측을 위한 탄성추종 계수를 결정하는 기법을 제시한다. 이차하중을 받는 구조물의 과도 크리프 상태의 크리프 균열 진전률은 $C(t)$를 이용하여 정량화할 수 있다. 이차하중을 받는 구조물에서 발생할 수 있는 탄성추종 현상은 응력 완화를 방해하므로, 탄성추종 현상이 증가하면 $C(t)$와 크리프 균열 진전률이 증가한다. Ainsworth 와 Dean 은 참조응력법에 기반하여 $C(t)$ 예측식을 제시하였는데, 이 식을 계산하기 위해서는 탄성추종 계수가 필요하다. 본 연구에서 고온 균열 구조물의 크리프에 의한 탄성추종 계수를 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 소성-크리프 유사성을 이용하여 탄소성 유한요소해석으로 크리프 탄성추종 계수를 결정할 수 있다. 유한요소해석을 이용하여 이 탄성추종 계수 결정법을 검증하였다.
