Abstract:This paper established a fatigue fracture phase-field model (PFM) to evaluate fatigue damage evolution and crack propagation in oil and gas pipeline. To address inaccuracies in damage evolution, a threshold of the elastic-plastic fracture energy was introduced in the proposed PFM. Using the finite element method, the PFM was applied to simulate fatigue crack growth. Results from compact tension (CT) specimen of the X56 gas pipeline steel demonstrated that the da/dN-ΔK curve from the current PFM, accounting for… Show more
