Abstract

The biaxial accumulative plasticity and the biaxial non-proportional low-cycle fatigue crack growth behavior of a hull structure subjected to biaxial non-proportional low-cycle fatigue loading under phase differences of approximately 45°, 90°, and 180° were investigated in this study. Biaxial non-proportional low-cycle fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted on cruciform Q235 steel specimens containing an inclined crack to validate the analysis. The fracture morphologies and the crack propagation angles of the cruciform specimens containing an inclined crack under different phase differences were examined. Numerical simulations were conducted to simulate the stress–strain field and the accumulative plasticity. The effects of the different phase differences, biaxiality ratios, and stress ratios on the biaxial non-proportional low-cycle fatigue crack growth rates of the cruciform Q235 steel specimens with an inclined crack were analyzed. The obtained results provide a basis for the accurate evaluation of the biaxial non-proportional low-cycle fatigue crack growth fracture behavior of a hull’s cracked plate.
