In pipe-laying and reeling operations, high levels of plastic deformation may occur in the pipe wall. The effect of plastic deformation should be investigated and quantified in order to qualify a steel material for a given pipe-laying process. This paper presents a numerical modeling approach for realistic simulation of ductile fracture, including results from FE welding simulations. A 3D model of a SENT specimen is adopted, where crack propagation is modelled using a Gurson model. An elastic-plastic hardening model is used to capture the global deformation of the specimen. Results compare well with experiments. This work is part of an effort to develop an experimental and numerical framework where the influence of welding (HAZ properties, residual stresses and hardening) in fracture assessment. Preliminary results show that there is no influence of residual stresses on fracture strength of an X65 ductile steel.
