Fracture-Fatigue Analysis of Experimental Diving Unit Complex 6.

Abstract

The Navy Experimental Diving Unit Complex 6 was analyzed for fracture and fatigue resistancc. The fracture analysis was performed using three different methods: (1) the Naval Research Laboratory FAD diagram, (2) linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) with KIC data derived from Charpy V tests, and with KID data derived from instrumented Charpy V-Notch tests of precracked specimens, and (3) the Pressure Vessel Research Committee (PVRC)-modified LEFM method with KID data. The fatigue analysis was performed using two methods: the LEFM crack growth model, and the ASME-approved stress-cycle (S-N) approach.
