Abstract

A unique quasi-static temperature dependent low strain rate constitutive finite element failure model is being developed at Sandia National Laboratories (Dempsey JF, Antoun B, Wellman G, Romero V, Scherzinger W (2010) Coupled thermal pressurization failure simulations with validation experiments. Presentation at ASME 2010 international mechanical engineering congress & exposition, Vancouver, British Columbia, 12–18 Nov 2010). The model is used to predict ductile tensile failure initiation using a tearing parameter methodology and assessed for accuracy against validation experiments. Experiments include temperature dependent tensile testing of 304L stainless steel and a variety of aluminum alloy round specimens to generate true-stress true-strain material property specifications. Two simple geometries including pressure loaded steel cylinders and thread shear mechanisms are modeled and assessed for accuracy by experiment using novel uncertainty quantification techniques.
