1.2 Fundamentals of the Linear Matching Method2
• belongs to the group of modified elastic modulus methods;• has the character of a non-linear programming method;• with each step involves the solution of a linear problem;• each solution satisfies the condition of force equilibrium;• non-linear constitutive assumptions are imposed sequentially;• strain rate histories give rise to equilibrium residual stress fields;• solution is the minimum of a functional of the strain rate history;• generates inelastic solutions for the stabilized cyclic state;• compatible with standard finite element codes, e.g. ABAQUS.
• Life Assessment Methods and Design Codes – R5 Procedure, ASME N47 and RCC-MR(1980's – today) based on Neuber's Rule
• Conventional incremental (transient) FEA• Direct Cyclic Analysis (DCA) incorporated into ABAQUS• Direct Methods using Static or Kinematic Bounding Theorem (Koiter, 1960)
Alternatives to the LMM:
• Modified Modulus Method (MMM) for limit load analysis (Ponter, early 1990’s)• MMM modified for elastic shakedown analysis (Ponter & Carter, 1997)• MEM implemented as ABAQUS UMATs (Ponter & Engelhardt, 2000)• Linear Matching Method (LMM) implemented in ABAQUS for reverse plasticity
(global shakedown) & ratchet boundary evaluation (Ponter & Chen, 2001)• LMM further developed to evaluate R5 related parameters (Ponter & Chen, 2005)

The series of have been implemented with LMM using:and corresponding constants to describe plastic strains under
saturated cyclic conditions;and corresponding constants to describe creep strains
during primary creep stage.The amount of damage per cycle caused by is estimated using:
experimentally defined dependent on numericallydefined total strain range for the fatigue damage ( );experimentally defined dependent on the average stress duringdwell period for the creep damage ;the during dwell period is defined as a mean value of analytical function for stressduring relaxation dependent on elastic follow-up factor ( ), initial stress and time.
A non-linear is used to define the caused by both creep andfatigue, which can’t exceed one ( + 1). Basing upon this interaction, the number of cycles tocreep-fatigue failure ( � ) is defined.Comparison of the observed and predicted cycles to failure with creep-fatigue FEA/LMM for 3 typesof experiments shows, that simulation of 9 of total available 11 is very close to .Simulation of other 2 produces results with factor of difference equal to ,which is even better than the factor acceptable for engineering analysis equal to .Sets of creep-fatigue FEA/LMM results analysis corresponding to 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 hours arefitted by and used for of cycles to failure ( *) depending on dwellperiod and normalized moment intended for design application.Further research will be devoted to parametric studies of the influence of variation of weldmentgeometrical parameters on the number of cycles to failure ( *) and formulation of a
to describe the corresponding dependence.
