Abstract | Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) and Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) are applicable tools to evaluate growth rate of existing fatigue cracks in offshore tubular joints. This is because the plastic zone around the fatigue crack tips is satisfactorily small. Several approaches based on LEFM have been proposed in this regard. Each of them uses different methods for estimating Stress Intensity Modification Factor (Y). In this research two types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are trained for predicting the Y factor: Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) networks. These networks are capable of estimating the Y factor at deepest point of a fatigue crack, located in tubular T joints under axial loading, when the crack depth is more than 20% of chord wall thickness. The required input data consist of the crack shape and the percent of the crack growth through thickness. Experimental data from NDE center in University College London are used for training and testing the networks. This data has been gathered by applying constant amplitude axial load to the brace of six full-scaled T joints. The results of this research are compared with different empirical and semi-empirical solutions, used in previous research works. The Y factors obtained from networks show better agreement with actual ones when compared to those obtained from previously established methods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
