Analysis of biaxial proportional low-cycle fatigue and biaxial accumulative plasticity of hull inclined-crack plate
Fracture induced failure of plates in hull structures subjected to in-plane biaxial low-cycle fatigue loading are generally a combination of accumulative plasticity and biaxial low-cycle fatigue damage.

| Summary: | Fracture induced failure of plates in hull structures subjected to in-plane biaxial low-cycle fatigue loading are generally a combination of accumulative plasticity and biaxial low-cycle fatigue damage. A biaxial low-cycle fatigue crack growth analysis of a hull structure that accounts for the accumulative plasticity effect can be suitable for the actual evaluation of the overall fracture induced failure of the hull structure in severe sea conditions. An analytical model of biaxial low-cycle fatigue crack propagation with a control parameter for the J integral was presented for hull inclined-crack plate. The test was conducted for cruciform specimens made of Q235 steel with an inclined crack to validate the presented analysis. The biaxial accumulative plasticity behaviour and the effects of the biaxiality and stress ratios were investigated by numerical analysis. The results of this study reveal a strong dependence of biaxial low-cycle fatigue crack propagation on biaxial accumulated plasticity. |
