1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
The geometry studied is that of a bi-metal tank slice, limited to 45 degrees in azimuth.

1.1.1. Defect considered#
In method \(K\beta\), the defect is not modeled in the mesh. The mesh makes it possible to calculate the stresses at the nodes. A post-processing is then applied to calculate the stress intensity factor by the \(\beta\) method from the stresses at the nodes (the method is detailed in [R7.02.10]).
For this test, the defect in question is elliptical and has a longitudinal orientation. Its dimensions are as follows (see figure below):
depth: \({\mathit{prof}}_{\text{def}}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{6mm}\)
width: \(\mathrm{2b}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{60mm}\)
offset in the coating: \(\mathit{deca}\mathrm{=}–\mathrm{0,2}\mathit{mm}\)
1.2. Material properties#
For thermal calculation:
Two properties are specified, they are:
LAMBDA: isotropic thermal conductivity as a function of temperature, expressed in \({\mathit{W.m}}^{\mathrm{-}1}\mathrm{.}{K}^{\mathrm{-}1}\),
BETA: volume enthalpy as a function of temperature, expressed in \({\mathit{J.m}}^{\mathrm{-}3}\).

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
The boundary conditions imposed are those of an axisymmetric system.
Two types of loads are applied:
heat exchange in the inner skin,
fluid pressure in the inner skin.
