Nuclear-grade pipelines are essential for nuclear safety, and their failure can lead to severe accidents. Traditional deterministic methods tend to be overly conservative, overlook uncertainties in key factors, and struggle to accurately assess reliability under complex conditions. This paper aims to present a probabilistic fracture mechanics methodology to evaluate the reliability of circumferential cracks in primary piping welds under transient loads. A dedicated software tool, developed based on this method, calculates rupture and leakage probabilities by incorporating parameter uncertainties alongside deterministic fracture models. Furthermore, the influence of various in-service inspection schedules on weld reliability is examined through case studies. The results indicate that excessively long inspection intervals result in actual failure probabilities at 60 years that exceed the safety goal of 10-6 failures per year. In accordance with current ASME Code, Section XI, the first inspection should occur by the 10th year, while subsequent intervals may be optimized to every 20 years. Sensitivity analyses reveal that the initial crack depth and crack half-angle have the greatest impact on probabilities, followed by the tensile strength, the safety factor, the yield strength, and the probability of detection model.
In this study, the applicability of the notched plate tension (NPT) specimen for establishing the multiaxial stress rupture criterion (MSRC) of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Cr-2Mo is systematically evaluated using direct, indirect, and empirical determination methods. The investigation considers four widely adopted MSRCs: the Sdobyrev-Hayhurst-Leckie (SHL), Cane, and Nix criteria-collectively referred to as Type-1 MSRC with an adjustable factor-and the Huddleston criterion, referred to as Type-2 MSRC without such a factor. Results demonstrate that the suitability of the NPT specimen depends on the specific MSRC considered, the stress-state factor, the notch acuity, and the location from which stresses are extracted. The three Type-1 MSRCs yield essentially equivalent predictions of multiaxial creep life; however, unlike circumferentially notched tension (CNT) specimens, NPT specimens are unsuitable for direct calibration of Type-1 MSRCs, as the determined adjustable factor exhibits high sensitivity to both stress-state factor and notch acuity, and often falls well below zero-outside its physically admissible range. For the Type-2 MSRC, close agreement between predicted and experimental creep lives is obtained only when stress components at the notch center center, rather than at the skeletal point, are used. The intrinsic equivalence of the three Type-1 MSRCs is also examined. To address the limitations of NPT specimens in Type-1 MSRC calibration, two NPT-based approaches are proposed and validated, enabling a more reliable determination of MSRC for creeping material.
Fracture toughness at different temperatures is important in engineering for the integrity assessment of reactor pressure vessels. However, the large dependence on temperature and scatter in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature region, along with the application of different indexing parameters, results in mass uncertainties in fracture toughness. In this paper, these uncertainties were quantified and characterized based on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory KIc database. The reference nil-ductility transition temperature RTNDT and reference temperature T0 were used as indices for the epistemic uncertainties. The quantity RTNDT - T0 was characterized by a three-parameter Weibull distribution using the commonly used parameter estimation methods. Combining the Master Curve method, a Weibull statistical model of the plain strain fracture toughness KIc was established to account for the aleatory uncertainties. A procedure was proposed for treating the epistemic and aleatory uncertainties for probabilistic fracture mechanics analysis. The effects of fracture toughness uncertainties on the crack initiation probability were evaluated for a cracked pressure vessel. The results show that considering both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties can reduce over-conservatism, and epistemic uncertainties strongly affect the crack initiation probability.

The characterization of residual stress in complicated components is a tough issue. The method of Rayleigh surface wave-based V(z) curve is adopted in this work to evaluate the distribution of residual stresses in aeroengine blades. First, the velocity of Rayleigh surface wave in aeroengine blade was measured by the V(z) curve technique, which can be used to calculate the local residual stress because the change of velocity is thought to be correlated with the contribution from residual stress. Two kinds of plastic-deformed Ti-6Al-4V samples were fabricated by ball-gun shooting to artificially induce distribution of residual stress and then measured by the proposed method. The results indicate that the distribution of the residual stress in both of the samples displays a predictable symmetry. The error of the measured stress is much less than 10% of the yielding stress in Ti-6Al-4V (i.e., about 800 MPa). Finally, the measured residual stresses were verified by X-ray diffraction method, whose results correlate reasonably well with each other. The proposed V(z) curve method and its experimental set-up appear to be a potential in characterizing residual stress at a point-like region, such as in complicated components.
AA7075-T651 super-hard aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 6.35 mm were welded by using the double pulsed MIG welding-mechanical vibration combined process, and the process parameters were optimized by means of orthogonal experiment. The tensile properties test, microstructure observation and XRD analysis of the welded joint under optimized parameters were tested by universal tensile testing machine, metallographic microscope and X-ray diffractometer.The results show, that when the vibration frequency is 40 Hz, the vibration amplitude is 0.08 mm, the welding current is 190 A, the welding speed is 0.78 cm/s the joint has the highest tensile strength of 352.6 MPa. The grain size of the welded joint with vibration is smaller than that without vibration under the optimum parameters.
A micro-mechanism based void growth model involving the void shape change during the creep deformation is proposed, referring to the traditional Cocks-Ashby (C-A) model framework, for multiaxial power-law creep rupture prediction. Accordingly, an improved prediction for creep lifetime and multiaxial creep ductility are derived. Results indicate that the creep life and creep ductility are significantly affected by the void shape evolution in the low stress triaxiality range. By contrast, such an effect could be neglected under the situation of high stress triaxiality. In addition, a large fraction of creep ductility is consumed during the tertiary creep stage. A good agreement has been achieved between the proposed model and the collected experimental data.

The high strength aluminum alloy 7075-T651 with thickness of 6.35 mm was welded by double-pulse MIG welding. The effects of heat input on microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joint were investigated by means of macromorphology and microstructure observation, scanning electron microscope observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, tensile test and microhardness measurement. The results show that with the increase of welding heat input, the microstructure of the weld zone appears grain coarsening, the main strengthening element Zn evaporates and burns, the precipitation of strengthening phase decreases and the mechanical properties significantly decrease. The fracture mode of welded joint appears mixed fracture of intergranular fracture and transgranular fracture, and there are more second phase particles in fracture of welded joint under smaller heat input. There is a significant relationship between the softening degree of the welded joint and the welding heat input.
