The present invention relates to a method for analyzing the online cycle of a
continuous casting machine sector guide roller based on finite
element analysis, which comprises the following steps: establishing a finite element
mathematical model for a group of down rollers of the
continuous casting machine sector guide roller, collecting relevant data of the down rollers of the
continuous casting machine sector, simulating the dynamic behavior of the material during high temperature deformation by using bilinear materials, and generating material constitutive curves; using augmented Lagrangian to perform theoretical analysis on the nonlinear contact between the roller surface and the slab surface, and by artificially introducing the penetration amount and the initial contact
stiffness coefficient, performing iterative calculations, completing the
estimation of the external fatigue cycle of the down roller, generating a life cloud map and a damage cloud map, and finding the lowest life point for
estimation. Sub-model calculations are used to further verify the results. The method is simple and reliable, and the
estimation of the external fatigue cycle of the down roller is completed within the
finite element software, which is fast and efficient. The present invention can be widely used in the estimation and analysis of the online cycle of the sector guide roller of the continuous
casting machine.
