    Turbine Housing Also called turbine scroll contains the radial turbine wheel and directs gas

    into it. Mostly made of cast iron alloys for turbocharger applications. During operation these components experience severe thermo

    mechanical (TM) load. Severe TM loading can lead to cracks initiating and propagating with

    accumulation of cycles. Presence of a crack is not necessarily a failure unless it leads to loss of

    functionality (gas leakage, wheel rub etc) or is externally visible. Knowledge of how cracks grow (path) and how fast they grow (growth

    rate) is important. Methods/tools that can help predict path and growth rate of cracks:

    Help design products quantitatively as opposed to a better than approach.

    Increase confidence during testing phase. Lead to more reliable products.

    Challenges

    Several LEFM based, Mode I (planar) crack growth modeling codes and methods are popular and commercially available.

    However, due to the nature of loading and complexity of geometry above assumptions are not applicable to our case

    Large scale and even cross sectional yielding can occur in certain locations. Cracks have been observed to exhibit mixed mode growth behavior (turning and

    kinking) Thermal loads can only be accounted for via an indirect approach in the above case.

    A conventional displacement (K) based approach is also an implementation challenge in 3D To capture the singularity in strain at the crack tip a focused/collapsed mesh is

    needed. Creating such a mesh at the crack front at each crack increment is near impossible

    in an automated manner.

    Developing an automated 3-d mixed mode crack growth code capable of dealing with elastic-plastic condition is a technical challenge !

    Background of J-integral Approach

    J-integral is a path independent fracture mechanics parameter which predicts energy release rate and intensity of deformation at crack front (CF) for linear and nonlinear material behavior.

    W is strain energy and it is a point function. It varies from point to point within body of the component [13]

    ANSYS calculates J values using volume integral in terms of rings of elements at the crack front.

    The highest energy release rate is calculated for virtual crack extension angle for all the CF nodes and new crack front is extended in the direction of max energy value.

    Evaluation of Crack growth vs Cycles : Constant Amplitude Approach

    - During fatigue crack growth under LEFM assumptions, the relation between incremental crack growth and load cycles can be represented by Paris law.

    - C and m are material properties and need to be evaluated (ASTM D647) .- However, under large scale yielding condition, J-integral approach needs to be directly implemented. This also involves non standard testing for estimating fcg material properties.

    1. Differences in NASGRO and FE approaches are due to location of crack increment size.

    2. NASGRO calculates next crack increment by considering only a from free surface whereas ANSYS takes highest a value from the crack front. This leads to more conservative results.

    Conclusion:

    The J integral (energy) approach to fcg modeling was effectively used to develop a 3-d mixed mode capable process/methodology.

    J integral approach has several benefits over K based approach: Ease of implementation as meshing requirments at cf are much

    more relaxed. Capable of dealing with large scale yielding problems. Directly account for thermal loading.

    Automation via scripts make the process feasible in a production environment. ( ~ 500 designs analyzed/year)

    Some baseline validation runs show good promise for the methodology. Qualitative validation using fcg material test data will pose its own

    challenges. (non isothermal Vs isothermal, LEFM vs NLFM, closure effects etc)
