Many research works have been performed on the J-T approach for elastic-plastic crack-tip stress fields in a variety of plane strain specimens. To generalize the validity of J-T method, further investigations are however needed fur more practical 3D structures than the idealized plane strain specimens. The present study deals mainly with 3D finite element (FE) modeling of welded plate and straight pipe, and accompanying elastic, elastic-plastic FE analyses. Manual 3D modeling is almost prohibitive, since the models contain semi-elliptical interfacial cracks which require singular elements. To overcome this kind of barrier, we develop a program generating the meshes fur semi-elliptical interfacial cracks. We then compare the detailed 3D FE stress fields to those predicted with J-T two parameters. The validity of J-T approach is thereby extended to 3D yield-strength-mismatched weld joints, and useful information is inferred fur the design or assessment of pipe welds.

In this work, we perform 3D finite element (FE) modeling of welded plate and straight pipe, and accompanying elastic, elastic-plastic FE analyses.

To overcome this kind of barrier, we develop a program generating the meshes for semi-elliptical interfacial cracks. We then compare the detailed 3D FE stress fields to those predicted with J-T two parameters. Thereby we extend the validity of J-T application to 3D structures and infer some useful informations for the design or assessment of pipe welds.

다양한 평면변형률 시편들의 균열선단 탄·소성 응력상태들에 대한 경우, 여러 연구들을 동해, J-T접근방법의 유효 타당성이 충분히 검증되어졌다. 그러나 J-T 두 변수에 의한 균열선단 응력장 예측의 타당성을 보편화시키기 위해서는, 평면변형률 시편들과 같이 이상화된 구조가 아닌 실제적인 3차원 구조형상에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 배경으로 본 연구에서는 평판과 직관에 대해 완전 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하여 얻어진 응력장과 계산된 J-T두 변수로 예측되는 응력장을 비교함으로써, J-T 접근방법의 유효성 내지 한계성을 규명하였다.
