Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a simplified method for assessing the axial crack stress T under the weld overlay of a pressure vessel, belonging to the field of pressure vessel safety assessment. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure vessels can develop cracks during long-term service, affecting their structural integrity and service life. To ensure long-term, high-reliability service of pressure vessels, fracture toughness tests are currently conducted on small-sized specimens made of the same material as the vessel to assess the structural integrity of in-service pressure vessels. Existing research shows that different sized specimens exhibit varying levels of crack tip restraint, leading to significant differences in their fracture toughness. Therefore, assessing the structural integrity of actual pressure vessels based on the fracture toughness of small-sized specimens may result in unreasonable evaluations. To quantify the differences in restraint levels caused by different specimen sizes, the academic community has proposed a mechanical parameter, Tstress, to characterize the crack tip restraint effect, providing a methodological reference for predicting the fracture strength of cracked pressure vessels based on the fracture toughness of small-sized specimens.

[0003] To reasonably assess the structural integrity of in-service pressure vessels, a T-stress database for cracked pressure vessels needs to be constructed. However, the existing T-stress calculations for cracked structures are mainly obtained through the finite element method (FEM), a method with high theoretical and technical barriers, hindering its widespread application in practical engineering. In particular, FEM-based T-stress calculations require engineers to systematically build finite element models of the cracked structures and perform fracture mechanics simulations, finally obtaining the T-stress through numerical calculations. For cylindrical engineering structures like pressure vessels, FEM-based T-stress solutions suffer from complex modeling processes, difficulty in achieving convergence, and time-consuming calculations, making it impossible to quickly and accurately assess the structural integrity of in-service pressure vessels. Summary of the Invention

The method pre-constructs a reference fracture parameter database of axial cracks under the weld overlay of a pressure vessel under non-uniform stress conditions. Combined with the principle of fracture mechanics superposition, it can realize the T-stress evaluation of any axial crack under the weld overlay in a pressure vessel under actual operating conditions, effectively improving the accuracy and efficiency of the structural integrity assessment of in-service pressure vessels.
