Abstract
In order to analyze the stress relaxation behavior under repeated loadings for 1Cr-0.5Mo-0.25V steel, a stress relaxation model based on creep equations has been developed. The model was implemented into the ANSYS finite element program in terms of user define material model. The calculated results were compared to the observed results of uniaxial reloading stress relaxation testing, which were performed by the National Research Institute for Metals of Japan (NRIM) for 1Cr-0.5Mo-0.25V stainless steel bolting material at 500°C. It was shown that the proposed model could be applied for the present data. The calculated residual stresses versus time curves were in good agreement with the observed for initial stress level of 297.1MPa at 500°C and for specific reloading time intervals of 24, 72, 240, and 720 hours.
