Chce1y A A.9 PageNo.: 4 aeN. 1.0 PURPOSE The two purposes of this calculation are:
- Determine the acceleration that could cause a fatigue crack to initiate. Three cases are considered corresponding to the three design endurance limit stresses from the ASME Code (ASME Code Curves A, B, and C for different mean stress conditions).
- Determine the approximate number of cycles to propagate a crack through the wall thickness of the pipe. The three cases considered are for pipe accelerations that correspond to the results for crack initiation as discussed in the previous bullet.
2.0
SUMMARY
The acceleration that produces an alternating stress equal to the design value from the ASMEE Code at 101 l cycles is provided in the following table. The table provides the acceleration for crack initiation for the three fatigue design curves in the ASME Code (labeled A through C).
"ASME" "EnduranceLimitAlternatingStress" "Acceleration" "Curve" okra" f TI= "A" 23.8 0.72 "B" 165 0.5 "C" 13.7 0.41 The minimum acceleration that gives a stress intensity factor at the crack tip greater than the threshold stress intensity factor for crack growth at the pipe OD is amin = 0.29 g. This is based on a threshold stress intensity factor for crack growth assumed to be AKmin = S ksi If; and a defect initial depth of ad 1 =0.021 in. The defect size is based on the metalographic examination.
The crack growth rate at the threshold stress intensity factor for crack growth is
-8 in dadnmin = 3.73 x 10 -n-. At a frequency of fA' = 123 Hz , this crack growth rate will go through the cycle pipe wall thickness in tmax = 0.85 day.

The number of cycles to propagate a crack through the pipe wall (defined as 70% though the pipe wall) is provided in Table T2 below for each of the accelerations in Table Ti above. The approximate time for the crack to propagate through the pipe wall is based on a frequency of fn =123 Hz These are approximate results based on a simplified model for the crack growth. The results show the crack grows through the pipe wall in less than one day. This is consistent with the maximum time to grow the crack through the pipe wall discussed on the previous page.

The actual defect location is a subsurface elliptical flaw in the circumferential direction as described in Reference 2. The defect is near the pipe OD, so that after some initial crack growth, the defect becomes a surface defect similar to that shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Approximate Crack Configuration after Defect Grows to Pipe OD The growth of the defect from cyclic loads is predicted using the Paris equation.

AKl = M-Aa where ha effective stress range M magnification factor a crack depth The magnification factor is based on an edge crack in a semi-infinite plate. The crack configuration for the magnification factor is shown in Figure 2. The magnification factor is a constant that does not change with crack depth. This model for the crack in the pipe is approximate. At small crack depths, the flat plate model will give good results, but at larger crack depths the magnification factor will vary. The approach used in this calculation is sufficient for evaluating the propagation of shallow cracks as well as showing the crack propagation occurs in a short time as discussed in Section 2.0. Figure 2. Model for Crack Magnification Factor Section 4.1 below shows that stress varies significantly through the thickness of the pipe. The maximum stress occurs at the pipe OD and the minimum occurs at the pipe ID. The stress used to grow the crack at each cycle is the stress range at the crack depth. The initial defect size is based on the metalographic examination. The defect that was identified was a sub-surface elliptical defect with minor radius of a,., =0.021 in. For this calculation, it was assumed that a defect with this depth is at the surface. It is noted that this initial defect size is one-half the size of the sub-surface defect. Using this initial defect overestimates the number of cycles for the crack to grow through the pipe wall.

The parameters passed to the function are as follows: a = initial crack depth t = component thickness acc = accuracy criterion (see discussion below) accel = acceleration to apply to 1 g stress distribution At the start of the crack growth calculation, the membrane stress, bending stress, and magnification factors are updated after each transient, i.e., N=1. As the calculation progresses, N is increased to reduce the calculation time provided the accuracy criterion is met and N is less than the total cycles divided by 10. The accuracy criterion "min" is the total projected crack growth in the transient at the current value of N divided by the initial flaw size. The accuracy criterion used is: acc:= 0.01% The number of cycles per iteration, N, is allowed to increase if the total crack growth in the transient is projected to be less than acc =0.01 % of the initial crack size. Using values smaller than acc =0.01 % did not significantly change the answer.
