Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to fatigue damage accumulation technology under complex loads, and in particular to a nonlinear damage accumulation prediction method coupled with vibration and conventional fatigue loads. Background Art
[0002] Engineering structures are subjected to multiple, combined loads throughout their service life. The coupling of vibration and conventional fatigue loads has become a key driver of structural fatigue failure. Vibration loads induce local stress fluctuations through high-frequency dynamic excitation, while conventional fatigue loads lead to local plastic strain accumulation. The coupled effects of these two in the time and frequency domains significantly accelerate the initiation and propagation of microcracks. Under the combined effects of vibration and conventional loads, structures are more susceptible to damage accumulation and fatigue problems.
[0003] Existing research has established partial prediction frameworks for damage caused by the coupling of vibration and conventional loads based on the Miner criterion or the local stress-strain method. However, these theoretical systems are still based on the assumption of independent loads and fail to fully reveal the damage evolution path under the interaction of vibration and fatigue. Furthermore, traditional linear damage accumulation theories assume independent damage superposition and do not consider load sequence effects or the interaction between vibration and conventional loads. This results in the inability of linear damage accumulation theories to accurately simulate the coupled damage effects of vibration and conventional fatigue. Nonlinear damage accumulation theories that consider load sequence effects are mostly targeted at a single load type, such as conventional fatigue loads, and are still unable to quantify the contribution of vibration damage to the coupled effects of vibration and conventional fatigue. Therefore, there is currently no damage accumulation theory that can reveal the fatigue damage evolution process under the coupled effects of vibration and conventional fatigue loads. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Step 1: Determine the peak stress at the critical point under conventional fatigue load based on the finite element model analysis of the engineering component.

A total of 315,774 units were generated in the final model.

[0049] Based on the three-dimensional finite element model of the engineering structure, random vibration loads were applied to the finite element model and structural dynamics analysis was performed. First, a modal analysis was performed to obtain the first three natural frequencies of the specimen and the corresponding mode shape characteristics. Then, a fully fixed boundary condition was applied to one side of the specimen to simulate the fixture's fixing effect, while an acceleration excitation along the specimen's thickness was applied to the other side.
[0050] Finite element analysis results are used to identify structural fatigue risk points and obtain the stress power spectrum density function G(f) at these risk points. The stress cloud diagram of the analysis results determines the location of the structural fatigue risk point, and the stress power spectrum density function data of the structural fatigue risk point is output through ODB field variables.
[0051] The probability density function P(S) of the stress amplitude at the dangerous point is calculated according to the Dirlik model, as follows:

[0062] The equivalent stress expression at the dangerous point of the structure under random vibration loading is:
[0063]
[0064] Step 5: Calculate the ratio of the peak stress of conventional fatigue load to the equivalent stress of random vibration at the critical point, and establish the coupling damage parameter based on the coupling series of vibration and conventional fatigue load, including:
[0065] The coupling damage parameter expression is:
[0066]
[0067] Where m is the coupling order of vibration and conventional fatigue loads.
[0068] Step 6: Establish a nonlinear damage accumulation model for coupling vibration and conventional fatigue loads, including:
[0069] The theoretical model expression of nonlinear damage accumulation under vibration and conventional fatigue coupling load is:
[0070]
[0071] Where D i is the damage caused by the i-th level load, D CR is the critical damage value, m is the coupling level of vibration and conventional fatigue load, k i is the coupling damage parameter, n i is the number of loading cycles for level i, N fi is the fatigue life under the i-th load level.
[0072] The present invention also provides an apparatus comprising a memory and a processor, wherein: the memory is used to store a computer program that can be run on the processor; the processor is used to execute the steps of the nonlinear damage accumulation prediction method for coupling vibration and conventional fatigue loads as described above when running the computer program.
[0073] The present invention also provides a storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by at least one processor, implements the steps of the above-mentioned method for predicting nonlinear damage accumulation due to coupling of vibration and conventional fatigue loads.
[0074] The material used in this embodiment is 2A12 aluminum alloy, and a coupling test of vibration and conventional fatigue loads was carried out. First, a finite element analysis was performed on the test piece to determine the dangerous point and obtain the peak stress at the dangerous point when the fatigue load was applied; then a dynamic analysis was performed on the test piece to obtain the stress amplitude probability density function P(S) at the dangerous point, and then the vibration equivalent stress at the dangerous point was calculated based on the material fatigue life curve. Then, the coupling damage parameter was established based on the ratio of the conventional load peak stress to the vibration equivalent stress at the dangerous point and the coupled load spectrum series. Finally, a nonlinear damage accumulation model for the coupling of vibration and conventional loads was established. The detailed process is as follows:
[0075] Fatigue loading was performed using an MTS809 fatigue testing machine, and random vibration loading was performed using a Sushi DC-200. The coupled test spectrum consisted of a combination of random vibration and conventional fatigue loading. The test loads were as follows: The coupled test scheme is listed in Table 1.

Under four- and ten-level coupled spectrum loading conditions, the cumulative damage calculation results of the two models were similar. Of the 17 valid data points in the coupled test, 82% had cumulative damage values within ±20% of the critical damage value, demonstrating excellent prediction results for the cumulative damage of coupled vibration and conventional loads.
