β¦ Synopsis
semicircular surface crack loaded in mode I tension with a material model similar to 316s~ at 600Β°C has been simulated using the finite element method. The behaviour of the crack upon initial loading, during the following creep transient and in the stationary state has been investigated. The distribution of the stationary state C* contour integral is used to predict the distribution of creep crack growth rates expected for this geometry and deformation mode. A second prediction which includes the influence of stress state upon the creep crack growth law is obtained. Methods of estimating the C* contour integral for a three dimensional geometry are assessed.

The finite element method is used to predict creep crack growth from an initially semi-elliptical surface crack. Empirical correlations are used in conjunction with calculated fracture parameters and predictions are compared with results from a parallel experimental program. The material investigate
