In this paper, the weight function method is used to calculate the stress intensity factor K and constraint parameter T-stress at the crack front of pressure pipeline with a axial semi-elliptical surface crack. Based on the R6 procedure and considering the influence of stress constraint on fracture toughness, a modified failure assessment curve(FAC) and a computational formula are proposed to predict the fracture probability. In the end, a typical numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed methodology and analyze the influences of crack geometry and axial stress on the failure probability of pipeline,where the crack size, material property parameter and load follow certain probability distribution.Read More
