Prediction on fatigue life prolongation of cracked steel plate repaired with prestressed CFRP
To investigate the effect of prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer ( CFRP) on the fatigue life prolongation of cracked steel plates utilized on offshore oil and gas E&P platforms,a simulation analysis model for calculating the stress inten-sity factor ( SIF) of cracked steel plate repaired with prestressed CFRP was established based on the contour integral method.The accuracy of the model was verified combining with the linear elastic fracture mechanics,and a simplified and efficient method for calculating SIF was proposed.Based on the extended finite element method ( XFEM),a simulation analysis model for predicting the fatigue life of cracked steel plate repaired with prestressed CFRP was constructed and validated by the fa-tigue test results,and the effect of prestress on the fatigue life prolongation of cracked steel plate was studied.The results show that CFRP repair has a good effect on the cracked steel plate and can prolong its fatigue life more obviously,with the increase of prestress,its prolongation effect will be further enhanced.The research results can provide reference for the safety assess-ment of offshore platforms.
