    Abstract: A method of predicting low-cycle fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviors under a multi-scale framework includes the following steps: S1, providing a calculation method for low-cycle fatigue crack initiation and propagation damages under a multi-scale framework; S2, determining a slip system where a maximum damage is located and an accumulated damage of all slip systems by calculation using the calculation method in S1; S3, a crack initiating and propagating in a direction towards the slip system where the maximum damage is located when the accumulated damage reaches a critical value; and S4, conducting calculation repeatedly until a predicted crack length reaches a fracture length of a low-cycle fatigue specimen under test conditions.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a quantitative evaluation method for sensitivity of welding transverse cold cracks in a typical joint of a jacket, including following steps: S1, performing macroscopic analysis, metallographic analysis, fracture analysis and hardness analysis on cracks of a failed component to obtain main causes of cold crack failure; and S2, designing and processing a dedicated sample, and performing rigid restraint crack tests on the dedicated sample at different preheating temperatures to obtain a cracking/non-cracking critical restraint stress σ1cr of the sample. According to the method, a rigid restraint crack test is applied to evaluation of sensitivity of welding transverse cracks, so that external restraint conditions borne by a welding joint can be accurately simulated, a stress state of the welding joint in an actual working condition can be truly reflected, the overall evaluation precision is greatly improved, and a foundation is laid for accurately evaluating sensitivity of welding cold cracks in a tube joint. Furthermore, a welding technology (base material, welding material, welding process and restraint level) is designed to restrain cold cracks from cracking, and the method has important theoretical significance and engineering value.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a deepwater platform welded joint testing system. The testing system comprises a host unit, a hydraulic unit and a control unit, wherein the control unit is connected with the host unit and the hydraulic unit respectively; the host unit comprises a bearing frame placed on a bearing base, biaxial tension/compression loading oil cylinders mounted on the bearing frame, a lateral force resistant mechanism connected to the front ends of the biaxial tension/compression loading oil cylinders, counter-force supports fixed to the top end of the bearing frame and biaxial bending loading oil cylinders mounted on the counter-force supports. According to the deepwater platform welded joint testing system, through the independent or synergistic effect of the six loading oil cylinders, stretching and fatigue performance tests of a large complex structure under uniaxial tension/compression, uniaxial bending, biaxial tension/compression, biaxial bending and uniaxial/biaxial tension/compression and bending composite loads can be achieved.
