In this paper, the effect of creep-fatigue loading condition on crack tip deformation and stress fields of Grade 91 steel at 600 °C at crack initiation and growth is studied. By using finite element debond analysis method, creep-fatigue crack growth tests using C(T) specimens under various load ratios and hold times are simulated, and the effect of...

This work assesses the crack propagation at the most critical point of a second stage of a gas turbine blade by means of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The most critical zone where the crack may nucleate, due to a combination of thermo-mechanical loads, is detected with an uncracked finite element (FE) model pre-analysis. Then the sub-mo...

... The node release technique is the simplest approach to simulating the manner of creep crack growth when combined with other damage accumulation theories. For example, a strain-based damage model was proposed in which total damage was assumed to be the linear summation of creep damage, 5 while a node release method on the basis of the NSW ductility exhaustion damage model assists in modeling virtual cracking. 6 A coupled creep damage model to predict creep crack growth can be developed when the accumulated damage has reached a critical value and the elastic modulus of damaged elements drops to a very small value. ...
