[0002] Welded structures bear a large number of different forms of cyclic loads in actual service environments, thereby causing performance degradation, i.e., fatigue. Data show that fatigue failure is one of the main failure modes of titanium alloy structural components. In the context of growing demand in modern society, it is required that service components have a longer safe life. High-cycle fatigue performance of welded structures is an important part of fatigue research.
[0003] To prevent structural failure and ensure normal and smooth operation of structural components, high-cycle fatigue life assessment of structural components is an important research direction of fatigue performance prediction. After decades of development, a large number of prediction methods and models have been proposed. Fatigue damage model based on damage mechanics research is one of the important research methods. The research approach can be divided into two categories: macroscopic constitutive theory and microscopic constitutive theory based on physical mechanism. At present, if the microscopic model is directly calculated, the calculation is complex and time-consuming, and the engineering universality is low. The macroscopic phenomenological model focuses on the macroscopic results of damage and cannot reflect the physical mechanism behind the damage. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a macro-micro parallel development high-cycle fatigue damage model suitable for welded joints.
[0004] The micro-crack initiation and propagation stage accounts for a large part of the total life of high-cycle fatigue. With the increase of fatigue load cycles, fatigue short cracks propagate and converge, and when the fatigue damage accumulates to a certain extent, the short cracks diffuse into long cracks and quickly fracture. Therefore, the critical condition of the transition of short cracks to long cracks is a key problem for fatigue failure prediction of short crack damage. SUMMARY

[0018] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, after step 101, it further includes: Step 201: Establish a calculation formula for fatigue damage variables based on the ratio of the cross-sectional area of each microcrack to the cross-sectional area of the REV cross section, where REV stands for Representative Volume Element (REV).
[0019] In this application, the scale of a single microcrack is set to characterization, Represents the cross-sectional area of the microcrack. For the convenience of calculation, microcracks of different geometric shapes are simplified to circles, and the fatigue damage variable of the i-th microcrack is It can be expressed as a radius of The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the microcracks to the cross-sectional area of the REV cross section S. Therefore, the fatigue damage variable D can be defined as the sum of the ratios of the cross-sectional areas of all microcracks to the cross-sectional area of the REV cross section S. The calculation formula of the fatigue damage variable is: .
[0020] in, is the fatigue damage variable, is the fatigue damage variable of the i-th microcrack, is the radius of the i-th microcrack, is the cross-sectional area of REV, is the number of load cycles, is the density distribution function of the i-th microcrack at the N-th cycle, .
[0021] Step 202 : determining a microcrack number density distribution function evolution equation, and solving the microcrack number density distribution function in the microcrack number density distribution function evolution equation based on a microcrack nucleation rate model and a microcrack extension model.
[0022] The process of determining the evolution equation of the microcrack number density distribution function is as follows: Assume that the load cycle is loaded from N to , the microcrack radius expands from r to , then the microcrack number density increment is: .in, For the The number density distribution function of the i-th microcrack at the cycle, For the The number density distribution function of the i-th microcrack at the cycle.
[0023] Because the evolution of microcracks is mainly determined by the nucleation and propagation processes, the first part of the increment comes from The number of newly nucleated microcracks is affected by the microcrack nucleation rate. First, define is the microcrack nucleation rate density distribution function at the Nth cycle. The rest of the increment is contributed by the microcrack propagation, which is affected by the microcrack propagation rate, defined as is the ith microcrack propagation rate function, then the following equation holds: .
[0024] where is the integral variable, is the ith microcrack nucleation rate density distribution function at the Nth cycle, is the microcrack number density distribution function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the ith microcrack propagation rate function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the microcrack number density distribution function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the ith microcrack propagation rate function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the microcrack number density distribution function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the ith microcrack propagation rate function at the Nth cycle with radius r. is the microcrack number density distribution function at the Nth cycle with radius r, is the ith microcrack propagation rate function at the Nth cycle with radius r.
[0025] Dividing both sides of the above equation by and , and letting , , the microcrack number density distribution function evolution equation is given by .
[0026] where is the microcrack number density distribution function, is the microcrack propagation rate function, is the radius of the microcrack, is the number of load cycles, is the microcrack nucleation rate density distribution function at the Nth cycle.
[0027] The microcrack nucleation rate model is given by .
[0028] The propagation model is given by .
[0029] .
[0030] .

[0032] The initial condition is assumed to be , the microcrack number density distribution function is: .

[0034] Step 203: Based on the microcrack number density distribution function and the calculation formula of the fatigue damage variable, a high cycle fatigue damage model is obtained. The high cycle fatigue damage model can be expressed as: .
[0035] in, is the fatigue damage variable, is the number of load cycles, is the applied stress amplitude, is the first parameter of the microcrack nucleation rate factor, is the second parameter of the microcrack nucleation rate factor, It is the first parameter of microcrack growth rate factor. 、 and All need to be fitted with different stress amplitudes ( ) under the fatigue damage evolution curve ( ) is obtained, and then the fitting data is established and relationship curve.
[0036] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, step 104 specifically includes the following steps 301 to 303. Among them: Step 301 : determining a damage rate of the finite element model in the cycle based on a fatigue damage variable of the finite element model in the cycle and the number of cycles of the load.
[0037] Step 302 : determining a jump value of the finite element model in the cycle based on a damage rate of the finite element model in the cycle.
[0038] Step 303 : determining a fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model in the cycle based on the jump value of the finite element model in the cycle, the damage rate of the finite element model in the cycle, and the fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model in the previous cycle.
[0039] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the damage rate of the finite element model at the Nth cycle is determined using the following formula: .
[0040] wherein, is the damage rate of the finite element model at the Nth cycle, is the fatigue damage variable, is the number of cycles of the load, is the applied stress amplitude, is the first parameter of the micro-crack nucleation rate factor, is the second parameter of the micro-crack nucleation rate factor, is the first parameter of the micro-crack propagation rate factor.
[0041] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the micro-cracks are multiple; the jump value of the finite element model at the Nth cycle is determined using the following formula: .
[0042] wherein, is the jump value of the finite element model at the Nth cycle, A is the jump value parameter, which can be adjusted according to the calculation accuracy, is the serial number of the micro-crack, is the maximum value of the damage rate of all the micro-cracks of the finite element model at the Nth cycle.
[0043] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model at the Nth cycle is determined using the following formula: .
[0044] wherein, is the fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model at the Nth cycle, is the fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model at the previous cycle, is the jump value of the finite element model at the Nth cycle, is the damage rate of the i-th micro-crack of the finite element model at the Nth cycle.
[0045] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the UMAT subroutine in ABAQUS is used to realize the simulation of the fatigue damage evolution process of the welded joint. The evolution process of the fatigue damage variable D is characterized by the decrease of the unit stiffness, and the elastic modulus of the unit is updated after each cycle of loading ( ), is the initial elastic modulus, and when the elastic modulus decreases to 0, it indicates that fatigue failure occurs. The specific program flow is as follows: 1. Finite element model is established according to the size of the welded joint, and the load mode and boundary conditions are the same as the actual high-cycle fatigue test in order to reflect the actual fatigue loading condition.
[0046] 2. After the mesh independence test, the maximum and minimum stresses at the weld in the Nth cycle are extracted , and the stress amplitude at the weld under cyclic loading is calculated according to . .
[0047] 3. The damage rate in the Nth cycle is calculated according to .
[0048] 4. For cyclic loading in fatigue, the step-by-step calculation in time becomes daunting when the cycle number increases. Therefore, the cycle skipping technique is adopted to shorten the calculation time. The larger the skip value , the smaller the required calculation time, but the larger the fatigue damage calculation error. Therefore, a reasonable calculation value can effectively improve the calculation efficiency and ensure the result accuracy. The skip value in each cycle is represented by the actual loading cycle number, and is used to calculate .
[0049] 5. After each skip, the fatigue damage prediction value is calculated using .
[0050] 6. The elastic modulus in the Nth cycle is calculated, the predicted value of the fatigue life of the finite element model is recorded, and it is determined whether fatigue failure occurs (D≥1). If D<1, the calculation result of is returned and updated, and the above process is repeated. If D≥1, the calculation is stopped, and the predicted value of the fatigue life of the finite element model is output.
[0051] Finally, based on the fatigue test data (the experimental data of the fatigue process is obtained from the room temperature high-cycle fatigue test), the fatigue life values of the finite element model corresponding to different maximum cyclic stresses are obtained, and then compared with the predicted values of the fatigue life simulated by the high-cycle fatigue damage model.
[0052] The application determines whether fatigue failure occurs through the fatigue damage threshold (D=1), and determines the fatigue life of the welded joint when fatigue failure occurs. The verification results show that the predicted value of the fatigue life obtained by the application is close to the fatigue life value obtained by the experiment, which indicates that the high-cycle fatigue damage model designed by the application is effective, and compared with the traditional high-cycle fatigue damage model, the micro-crack evolution framework is proved to be effective in characterizing the micro-scale fatigue damage progress, which is basically impossible to achieve by the traditional modeling method. And the design idea of the application is clear and logical, and each link is connected and complementary, which provides a better theoretical basis for the development and life evaluation of subsequent materials, and has high practical value.

[0057] The fatigue failure determination module 205 is configured to determine whether the welded joint has fatigue failure under the cycle according to the fatigue damage prediction value of the finite element model under the cycle.
[0058] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, first, TC4 titanium alloy plate in rolling state is selected as the experimental material for welding, and laser-MIG hybrid welding is used for butt welding. High cycle fatigue tests are performed on the welded joint at room temperature under different maximum initial cyclic stresses (450 MPa, 445 MPa, 440 MPa and 435 MPa). The specific experimental steps are as follows: a QBG-100 type high cycle fatigue testing machine is used to perform axial loading tensile-tensile high cycle fatigue test at room temperature. The clamping mode of the fatigue sample is fixed at the lower end and the cyclic load is applied at the upper end. The load loading mode is stress ratio , the average frequency is 80 Hz, and the remaining experimental parameters are shown in Table 1. Then, according to the obtained experimental data (Table 2), the values of the different maximum initial cyclic stresses and the fatigue life are obtained, and then the fatigue damage evolution curve of Figure 3 is fitted by using the high cycle fatigue damage model to obtain the values of , and . The fitting results and curves are shown in Figures 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c).
