摘要
From a set of finite element (FE) simulations of creep crack growth in compact tension specimens, the critical value of the crack tip opening displacement, CTOD, for creep crack growth has been generated for a Ni-base superalloy (Waspaloy) at 700 degrees C. It was found that the critical value is independent of the initial crack length, amount of previous creep crack growth and the load level. Hence, the CTOD seems likely to be a viable criterion for use in creep crack growth rate analysis. Good agreement was also obtained between the experimental test results and FE predictions of the creep crack growth with time and between the crack growth rate, da/dt, versus the C* parameter based on load-line displacement rate.
