Crack in A Bracket With Bolt Pretension: BITS Pilani

BITS Pilani is an educational institution with campuses in Pilani, Dubai, Goa, and Hyderabad. The document provides details about using sub-modeling and semi-elliptical crack analysis in Franc3D software to determine the number of load cycles for a crack to propagate in a steel bracket subjected to a bolt pretension of 500 N. It outlines the learning outcomes, steps, and interpretation of the crack propagation analysis.

Crack in a bracket with bolt pretension


P r ob l e m S t at e m e nt
A crack of 2a = 4 mm and c = 1 mm is identified near the bolt head in a steel
bracket which is subjected to a bolt pretension of 500 N. determine the number of
cycles on crack propagation. Use sub-modelling approach to reduce solving time.
ΔKth = 60 MPa√mm, KC = 900 MPa√mm, C = 1.65E-10, m = 3.4
L e a rn i ng Ou tc o m es

• From the above tutorial we have learned


– To perform sub-modelling approach
– Use of semi elliptical crack
S t e ps
• Importing the CDB file into Franc3D software
• Incorporating the crack at critical location
• Perform Static Crack analysis – to determine the SIF of initial crack
• Perform Growth crack analysis – to set crack parameters
• Perform Crack propagation analysis till it becomes critical
• Review results
I n te r p re ta t io n
• Interpretation of SIF value with fracture toughness value.
