Modification of the Mohr–Coulomb Criterion and Its Application in the Cracking of Ring-Stiffened Cylinders Made of Titanium Alloy

Résumé fourni par la source

TC4 ELI alloy is widely used in the marine, medicine, and aviation fields. The failure performance of TC4 ELI alloy is significantly different from that of other metal materials, such as steels. In this paper, a modified Mohr–Coulomb criterion is calibrated based on several kinds of specimens under different stress states and a 3D geometric representation of a modified Mohr–Coulomb fracture locus for TC4 ELI is obtained based on these parameters. The effectiveness of the modified M-C criterion is studied by a ring-stiffened cylinder made of TC4 ELI. The ultimate strength of the cylinder obtained in the simulation with the modified M-C criterion is close to that obtained in an external pressure experiment, which shows that the modified M-C criterion is suitable for predicting failure in pressure hulls made of titanium alloy used in the deep-sea field.
