The stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for subsurface flaws in flat plates are provided in Appendix A of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI. A part of the SIF solutions was initially provided in the 2015 edition. The solutions were obtained for the fourth order polynomial stress distribution base on the influence function method. The solutions were expanded in the 2021 edition for subsurface flaws near the surface of the plate. The additional solutions were obtained based on the J-integral from the elastic finite element analyses. However, recent investigations have found that there is a minor discrepancy in trend between the two sets of SIF solutions because they were obtained by using different numerical methods. Although the discrepancy is very small, the change in trend causes some difficulties in engineering applications. In this work, the SIF solutions are recalculated using the same numerical method based on the J-integral from elastic finite element analyses. The results are compared with the solutions in the current Section XI, RSE-M, and are finally cross-checked with the results obtained from an independent numerical model. The results are useful to eliminate the discrepancy in trend in the SIF solutions for subsurface flaws in flat plates in the current edition of Section XI.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：42.09(Engineering, Mechanical)The stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for subsurface flaws near the free surfaces of components, which are known to be important in engineering applications, have not been provided yet. Thus, in this paper, SIF solutions for subsurface flaws near the free surfaces in flat plates were numerically investigated based on finite element analyses. The flaws with aspect ratios a/l = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, the normalized ratios a/d = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8, and d/t = 0.01 and 0.10 were taken into account, where a is the half flaw depth, l is the flaw length, d is the distance from the center of the subsurface flaw to the nearest free surface and t is the wall thickness. Fourth-order polynomial stress distribution in the thickness direction was considered. In addition, the developed SIF solutions were incorporated into a Japanese probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) code, and PFM analyses were performed for a Japanese reactor pressure vessel containing a subsurface flaw near the inner surface. The PFM analysis results indicate that the obtained SIF solutions are effective in engineering applications.
