Abstract
Life integrity assessment of industrial components often requires investigations of the cyclic inelastic response at a range of operating temperatures. Some high strength steels exhibit a well-known ambient temperature creep behaviour, which can also impact the cyclic behaviour, especially under long-term operation. In this study, a direct method known as the Linear Matching Method has been used to predict the cyclic shakedown and ratchet limits of high-strength steel (AISI 1144). The numerical predictions are compared with a recent testing campaign that was completed at room temperature to characterise the multiaxial behaviour of AISI 1144. Due to creep of the material, inelastic strain accumulation is also observed for loading conditions within the shakedown limit. The extended Direct Steady Cyclic Analysis (eDSCA) approach has been used to predict the cyclic behaviour in the presence of creep. In addition, for specific load cases of interest, a newly revised creep-ratcheting limit has been derived and compared with the experimental tests.
