Defining Limiting Condition
Ductile components
• Primary pipe work is fabricated from Grade 304 stainless steel
• Typical yield stress250MPa
• Typical ductility60 - 70%
Aim
Define cases under which structural integrity of ductile components may be solely assessed on plastic collapse
criteria, whilst maintaining the integrity of the plant
Fracture above limit load
From SPECIMEN to STRUCTURE
Size effect!
Defining Fracture
• J-integral– Conventional methodology to
define critical crack tip stress field– Validity limits– Dependence on global plasticity

Limit Load
Ductile Fracture
• Local Approach– Rice & Tracey local approach– Defined for ductile behaviour, growth of a void to
a critical void volume fraction.– Proportional to stress, strain and triaxiality ahead
of the crack tip– Will account for constraint effects.
Fracture Toughness Specimens:
• a/W=0.55
• Unloading compliance methodology• Crack propagation proportional to elastic unload• Global J proportional to area under the load
displacement curve• Tracking of plasticity development using Digital Image
Correlation
Experiments
Aim Analyse fracture under a range of Plasticity conditions Compare methodologies defining fracture under large plasticity conditions

Conclusion
Fracture behaviour of small scale specimens can be defined using a modified Rice and Tracey
approach
Small scale specimen can be used to define fracture behaviour without over-conservatism
Plasticity is self similar in all specimens
