Abstract

Since it is difficult to study the influence of different defect characteristics on the stress intensity factor of B-type sleeve fillet welds via experiments, this paper adopts ABAQUS finite element analysis software(Version 2019) to model the B-type sleeve fillet welds and studies the stress and stress intensity factor under different crack lengths, heights, and angles. The simulation results showed that with the increase in crack length and depth, the maximum stress intensity factor gradually increased, and with the increase in the crack inclination angle, the maximum stress intensity factor first increased and then decreased.
