The influence of residual stresses on the polymer pipe lifetime
Luky, R. ; Zouhar, Michal ; Hutař, Pavel
The aim of this article is study the influence of residual stresses on the pipe lifetime. The two dimensional numerical model of the pipe with inner crack was created and the creep crack growth in the pipe with and without residual stress is modelled. The results of K-kalibration curves are presented. After that the Paris law is used for solving the lifetime. The results of time to failure in dependency on the hoop stress for pipe with and without residual stress were compared. The existence of residual stresses decrease the lifetime of the pipe. Combination of the creep crack growth tests and numerical simulations can be a very powerful tool for lifetime estimation of plastic pipes under different loading conditions.
