To use fracture mechanics in design the basic equation

is required.
Therefore the material toughness KIC must be known.
This material property is measured by laboratory testing.

These dimensions insure that:
1. The test specimen is large enough so that the elastic field is much larger than the plastic zone
Therefore the plastic zone ahead of the crack can be neglected
2 There is a tri-axial stress field
Therefore the shear stress can be neglected and Mode I plane strain opening mode is expected

(0 162 in) wall thickness and 103 mm (4
(4.07

diameter.
They are made from a Zirconium alloy with 2.5% niobium Zr-Nb.
The pressure tubes are joined to end fittings which are made of stainless steel.

Chapter 5 - Fracture Mechanics in

43

Department of Mechanical &


Aerospace Engineering

Leak Before Break - Example

The stainless steel end fitting was


cut away and 3 cracks were
revealed in the tube

When rolling the tubes into the end


fittings the rolls extended beyond
the parallel part of the end fittings
to produce an over-extended joint

This introduced large residual


stresses

The cause of the cracking was


attributed to Delayed Hydride
Cracking (DHC)

Chapter 5 - Fracture Mechanics in


Design

44

Department of Mechanical &


Aerospace Engineering

Delayed Hydride Cracking

The stainless steel end fitting was


cut away and 3 cracks were found
in the area of high residual stress
Hydrogen, normally in the pressure
tubes had migrated to the area of
high
g residual stress and a small
crack initiated
Propagation was by fracture of the
hydrides which are brittle when
cold
Once initiated the crack proceed to
grow through the wall thickness by
repeated formation and fracture of
the hydrides when the system was
cold
When the system was hot the
hydrogen was in solution and crack
growth did no proceed
Chapter 3 - Fracture Mechanics in
Design

45

Department of Mechanical &


Aerospace Engineering

Cracking of CANDU Pressure Tubes

The cause of the rolling problem was


badly worn rolls which rolled the tubes
into the tapered section of the end fitting
The residual stress reached levels of 700
MPa
Properly rolled joints had levels of 150
MPa
Fuel channel safety was not significantly
effected because of the leak-before-break
criterion
Cracks were about 15-20 mm (0.6-0.8
in.) in surface length and were confined to
a very small region
The crack lengths were significantly less
than the critical crack length of about 3 in.
The leak-before-break criterion was well
demonstrated
