Abstract

Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessments are quantitative engineering evaluations that perform to demonstrate the integrity of an in-service component that may contain a flaw or damage. It can be used to make run-repair-replace decisions to help determine if pressured equipment containing flaw that have been identified by inspection can continue to operate safety for some period of time. <br>This paper provides a FFS assessment method on carbon steel pipe which contained a LTA (Local Thin Area) against seismic load by FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis. Abaqus Ver. 6. 10, which provides the combined isotropic⁄kinematic hardening model, is used to simulate the LTA contained carbon steel pipe against seismic load. Material parameters in the hardening model are identified by a symmetric strain cycle experiment based on ASTM E606. Isotropic hardening component is introduced by specifying the equivalent stress defining the size of the yield surface, as a tabular function of the equivalent plastic strain. Kinematic hardening component is obtained from the stabilized cycle of a specimen that is subjected to symmetric stain cycles. <br>The authors introduced the way how to calibrate the material parameters of combined isotropic⁄kinematic hardening model. Then the authors calculated up to 200 cycles on carbon steel pipe which contained a Local Thin Area against seismic load at 300 degrees centigrade. The results comparison between FEM analysis and experiment shows that stress-strain hysteresis loop tendency and number of cycles to failure are predicted accurately. Safety margin of ratcheting assessment also was discussed in this paper.
