Stress intensity factor solution for pressurized vessel nozzle corner crack subjected to an arbitrary stress distribution using the influence coefficient method
The nozzle of pressurized vessel in nuclear power plants exhibits geometrical discontinuities, complex and harsh loads, and stress concentration, leading to a high stress level and complex stress distribution in the nozzle corner, it is a crucial region for structural fracture mechanical evaluation. The aim of this study is to present an engineering calculation method for the stress intensity factor (SIF) of the nozzle corner cracks under arbitrary stress distribution. Firstly, based on the principle of the influence coefficient method (IFM) and the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics, the calculation method of the influence coefficients in IFM is provided considering the stress distribution characteristics of the nozzle corner region. Subsequently, a large number of finite element models of nozzles with and without crack are analyzed, and then the influence coefficient tables covering a certain range of geometric and crack size are obtained and used for calculation the SIFs of the nozzle corner cracks. Finally, the applicability and conservativeness of the SIFs calculated by using the influence coefficient tables obtained in this paper are verified considering the actual service loads of the nuclear pressurized vessel. The influence coefficient tables established in the paper can be extended by using the influence coefficient calculation method, and then can be applied to the SIF calculation in a wider range of nozzles with nozzle corner cracks.
