The invention discloses a pressure pipeline inner surface crack
risk assessment method based on extended finite elements and stress triaxality, and aims to solve the problems that an existing method is insufficient in precision and ignores a
coupling effect, and comparison files are limited to extreme working conditions. The method comprises the following steps: establishing and verifying an XFEM basic model, constructing a pipeline XFEM model containing inner surface cracks, revealing a
crack size-angle
coupling rule and identifying a critical angle of 8-12 degrees, predicting crack propagation based on stress triaxial degree, and carrying out risk grading and detection priority
ranking in combination with the
coupling rule. According to the method, the size-angle
coupling effect is innovatively quantified, the stress three-axis degree is upgraded into an independent extension prediction tool, a complete
engineering closed loop is formed, the evaluation error is smaller than or equal to 10%, the method is suitable for conventional operation and maintenance of 09MnNiDR low-temperature steel pipelines and the like, an RBI plan can be directly optimized, and the practicability and the universality are remarkably superior to those of a
simulation technology optimization guiding scheme of a comparison file.
