Research Abstract

1. A survey of the crack damages of offshore structures was made. It was shown that the crack damages were most likely to take place at the tubular joints and that the dented damages caused by collisions or object fallings acted as a crack initiator because of a large strain concentration at the bottom of the dent.
2. A series of pure tensile and pure bending tests of a tubular member having a circumferential through-thickness crack was carried out. The rigidity and load carrying capacity of the cracked tubular members were investigated considering the effects of ductile crack growth.
3. Based on the experimental results, the generation phase analysis was performed with the finite element method. It was found that CTOD and CTOA were the fracture parameters effective for the crack growth initiation and continuation, respectively.
4. The theoretical formula for the estimation of CTOD and CTOA were derived based on the semi-membrane shell theory and the assumption of Dugdale model.
5. The idealized structural unit method for a circumferentially through-thickness cracked tubular member was newly developed considering the ductile crack growth. A crack spring element was inserted between two intact beam-column elements in elastic analysis, while a plastic hinge was inserted in elastoplastic analysis based on the plastic node method.
6. Several numerical examples including a statically indeterminate portal frame with a crack damage showed the accurate and efficient capability of the proposed method.
