AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for predicting the life of steel cables fail to effectively consider the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue, leading to inaccurate prediction results. This is especially true for steel cables in long-span bridges, where the microscopic mechanisms of corrosion are not revealed, fatigue parameters are empirically derived, and the impact of corrosion on the performance degradation of steel wires is ignored.
The relationship between pit depth and diffusion gradient was established based on Fick's diffusion law. Paris parameters were inverted using actual fatigue data. Combined with a series-parallel fiber bundle model, the effects of corrosion were considered to dynamically determine cable failure. The entire lifespan of the cable was simulated using the Monte Carlo method.
It achieves more accurate prediction of the entire lifespan of steel cables, breaks through the limitations of constant current assumptions and empirical parameters, dynamically determines steel cable failure, conforms to actual service scenarios, and improves the accuracy of prediction.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The embodiment of the present application relates to the technical field of steel cable life prediction, and particularly relates to a steel cable whole-process life prediction method considering corrosion-fatigue coupling. BACKGROUND
[0002] Large-span bridges are important infrastructures in modern transportation networks. Long-span structures such as cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges achieve kilometer-level span through high-strength steel cable systems, breaking the bottleneck of traditional bridges limited by span and geological conditions. However, the steel cable system faces performance degradation challenges during the whole life cycle. As the key load transmission component connecting the bridge deck and the supporting structure, the steel cable continuously bears the dual effects of dynamic traffic load and environmental erosion during service.
[0003] The corrosion-fatigue damage caused by this environmental-mechanical coupling has significant characteristics of complex damage mechanism and concealed damage evolution. The damage process usually goes through three stages: local electrochemical corrosion caused by the failure of the initial protection system, micron-scale corrosion pits developing into crack sources under alternating stress (referred to as the corrosion stage); the wedge effect of corrosion products further accelerates the fracture process during crack propagation, eventually leading to sudden failure (referred to as the crack propagation stage); and the steel cable system failure stage, with the increase in the number of broken steel wires, stress redistribution increases the load of the remaining steel wires, and when the number of broken wires reaches a critical value, the whole steel cable fails.
[0004] For the above three stages, there are some life prediction methods in the prior art, but all have some limitations. Among them,
[0005] In the corrosion stage, Kondo et al. consider that the pit depth is proportional to the cube root of time t:
[0006] a = Bt 1 / 3 (1)
[0007] In the formula, a is the pit depth, and B is a coefficient related to the environment and the material. Formula (1) is a fitting result based on experimental data, reflecting the macroscopic pitting propagation behavior, but it does not reflect the micro-mechanism of corrosion. Harlow et al. simplified the shape of the pit as a hemisphere and derived a pit propagation model based on Faraday's law:
[0008]
[0009] In the formula, m c is the mass of the corroded metal in the steel wire, I is the corrosion current, Q is the charge quantity, M r is the molar mass of the metal, z is the valence, F is the Faraday constant, t is the time, and V is the pit volume (hemisphere), i.e. the volume of the corroded metal.
[0010] Thus, we can get:
[0011]
[0012] The specific expression of the coefficient B is obtained by combining formula (4) with Faraday's law, which reflects the micro-corrosion mechanism, but the assumption that the current I is a constant in the corrosion process does not conform to the actual situation.
[0013] In the crack propagation stage, the calculation is mainly based on the Paris formula, and the related research method is relatively mature. The material parameters C and m in the Paris formula have a great influence on the fatigue life and are related to the actual material. Many fatigue studies use empirical values, which are not accurate enough. For example, Ye et al. derived a fatigue strength prediction formula considering the influence of pit depth and stress ratio based on the Paris law. The method shows that the pit depth is the most critical parameter for representing the degree of corrosion and dominates the decrease of fatigue strength, and its influence is significantly greater than that of the pit shape. However, in the calculation process, the parameters C and m use the values from the European standard.
[0014] For steel cords, most of the current research methods for steel cords are based on the fiber bundle theory, which discretizes the steel cord into a series-parallel model for research. Stallings et al. based on the fiber bundle theory, discretized the steel cord into a parallel system of multiple steel wires, and each steel wire was further divided into a series of sub-unit chains; based on the Miner damage criterion, the life distribution of a single steel wire was established, and a steel cord life model was established by combining the stress redistribution mechanism of broken wires, and was verified by the Monte Carlo model. However, this model needs to know the life distribution of the steel wire, and does not consider the influence of corrosion.
[0015] In summary, the current steel cord fatigue life prediction methods have the following limitations:
[0016] The pitting model machine assumes too ideal: Kondo model is only a macroscopic empirical formula, which does not reveal the micro-electrochemical mechanism of corrosion; Harlow model is based on Faraday's law, but assumes that the corrosion current is constant, which does not conform to the actual dynamic diffusion process; fatigue parameters are empirical: the crack propagation stage relies on the Paris formula, but the key parameters C and m are mostly empirical values (such as European standards), which are not calibrated for actual material properties, resulting in life prediction deviation; corrosion-fatigue decoupling: existing fiber bundle models only consider mechanical fatigue wire breaking, ignoring the influence of corrosion on the performance degradation of steel wires, and need to preset the life distribution of steel wires, which limits the applicability. SUMMARY
[0017] The embodiments of the present application provide a steel cord whole process life prediction method considering corrosion-fatigue coupling to solve at least one of the above problems.
[0018] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a steel cord whole process life prediction method considering corrosion-fatigue coupling, comprising:
[0019] Obtain the initial stress of the cable to be predicted and distribute it to each segment of each wire in the cable;
[0020] Randomly generate the stress intensity factor threshold ΔK for each segment. th and the fracture toughness K of steel wire C This allows for the calculation of the initial crack depth x0 and critical crack depth x0 for each segment. c ;

[0022] From t c Starting with the shortest segment, the following operations are executed sequentially at each time step:
[0023] S1-1. Determine the target segment in the crack propagation stage within the current time step; apply stress cycles with a set step size based on x0 of each target segment, and calculate the crack propagation depth x of each target segment after loading;
[0024] S1-2, Determine whether x of each target segment has reached x of each target segment. c If the target is reached, determine the breakage of the steel wire in each target segment and record the cumulative lifespan N of the steel cable. sum,t If N sum,t The increase in cumulative cable life compared to the last recorded value and N sum,t If the ratio is less than the threshold E, the steel cable is considered to have failed, and N is set to... sum,t As the lifespan of the steel cable; if the ratio ≥ E, the stress of the broken wire is distributed to each segment of the unbroken wire, and each segment of the unbroken wire is placed at N. sum,t The crack depth is taken as the new x0, and the cycle continues into the next time step until the cable fails.
[0025] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
[0026] One or more processors;
[0027] Memory, used to store one or more programs.
[0028] When the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the steel cable full-process life prediction method considering corrosion-fatigue coupling as described in any embodiment.
[0029] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method for predicting the life of steel cables throughout the entire process, taking into account corrosion-fatigue coupling, as described in any embodiment.
[0030] In summary, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the entire lifespan of steel cables considering corrosion-fatigue coupling. This method can:
[0031] 1. Based on Fick's diffusion law, an explicit relationship between pit depth a(t) and diffusion gradient is established; the diffusion effect of ions is considered. As the pit deepens, the path of metal ions diffusing into the solution becomes longer, which leads to the decay of corrosion current density j with increasing depth, breaking the constant current assumption.
[0032] 2. The SN curve is obtained based on the fatigue data of actual specimens. The Paris parameter C,m is inverted through the logarithmic linear mapping relationship, which can truly reflect the material properties and break through the limitations of empirical values in the failure criteria of the cable system.
[0033] 3. Combining the series-parallel fiber bundle model, a full-process simulation of steel cables that can consider the effects of corrosion is proposed, which is more in line with the service scenarios of steel cables. In the simulation prediction, the influence of steel wire corrosion is considered and the corrosion stage life is calculated. Stress distribution and cumulative damage phenomena are considered. When the life added by a single wire break is less than a certain threshold of the cumulative life (such as 5%), the steel cable is judged to be in failure. The dynamic determination of whether the steel cable is in failure overcomes the empirical defects of the traditional critical wire breakage number. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for predicting the entire lifespan of a steel cable considering corrosion-fatigue coupling, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This method is executed by electronic equipment. Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes:
[0044] S110. Construct a pitting rate model for steel wire.
[0045] Based on Faraday's law, we can obtain:
[0046] Q = nzF (5)
[0047] Where n is the amount of reactant, and in this embodiment, the reactant is steel wire metal.
[0048] Differentiating both sides of the transformed equation (5):
[0049]
[0050] The differential of the amount of reactant with respect to time is the chemical reaction rate, v, with units of mol / s. The differential of charge with respect to time is the current, I, with units of C·s. -1 Therefore, equation (6) can be rewritten as:
[0051]
[0052] Normalizing the electrode area yields:
[0053]
[0054] Where j is the current density, with units of C·s. -1 ·m -2 The unit of chemical reaction rate at this point is mol·m⁻². -2 ·s -1 This is the reaction rate corresponding to the current density, expressed in v. j express.
[0055] As the pit deepens, the path for metal ions to diffuse into the solution becomes longer, causing the corrosion current density j to decrease with increasing depth, obeying Fick's diffusion law. The expression for Fick's first law is:
[0056]
[0057] Where J is the ion flux, with units of mol·m -2 ·s -1 D is the diffusion coefficient, with units of m³. 2 ·s -1 C is the ion concentration, with units of mol·m⁻¹. -3 h is the distance perpendicular to the diffusion direction. The negative sign in equation (9) indicates the direction. In this embodiment, only scalars are calculated, so the negative sign is ignored in the subsequent derivation.
[0058] Let the ion concentration in the erosion pit be C. s The concentration of the bulk solution (i.e., the corrosion solution) is C. b And make the following assumptions:
[0059] (1) Metal dissolution within the corrosion pit generates high concentrations of ions (such as Fe). 2+ Al 3+ ), concentration C s When it is close to saturation, it is considered as saturation concentration.
[0060] (2) The bulk solution is located in a region far from the corrosion pit and can be considered an open system. The volume of the bulk solution is much larger than the volume of the corrosion pit, and the ions combine to form corrosion products, thus maintaining a low concentration relative to C. s As far as C is concerned, b ≈0.
[0061] Therefore, we get:
[0062]
[0063] Where a(t) represents the function of the pit depth a during the corrosion stage as a function of time t. Note that v j J and J have the same dimensions and are mathematically equivalent, therefore:
[0064]
[0065] During service, steel wire is not only affected by corrosion but also subjected to cyclic stress, which further exacerbates the corrosion process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the effect of stress on corrosion is equated to the effect of stress on current:
[0066] j σ =jc Δσ (12)
[0067] Where, j σ Δσ represents the current density as a function of stress, Δσ represents the stress range of the steel wire, and c represents an empirical coefficient related to the stress range, calculated based on experimental data, which can be taken as 1.0002.
[0068] The surface area A(t) of the hemispherical pit is:
[0069] A(t) = 2πa(t) 2 (13)
[0070] The total current I(t) is:
[0071]
[0072] The mass of dissolved metal m can be obtained from equation (3). c (t) is:
[0073]
[0074] From equation (2), we can obtain:
[0075]
[0076] In equation (16), I(t) is temporarily written as I(τ) to distinguish it from the upper and lower limits of integration.
[0077] Combined equations (15) and (16):
[0078]
[0079] Simplify equation (17) and differentiate both sides of the equation:
[0080]
[0081] Simplifying equation (18) yields:
[0082]
[0083] The deep time-varying laws were finally obtained:
[0084]
[0085] As the pit depth increases, the stress intensity factor at the bottom of the pit approaches the critical value for the pit-crack transition, and microcracks appear at the bottom of the pit. The stress intensity factor ΔK at the bottom of the pit... pit Calculate according to formula (21):
[0086]
[0087] Among them, K t This is the stress concentration factor generated by the circular rivet hole.
[0088] ΔK pit The stress intensity factor increases with increasing pit depth, and gradually increases to the stress intensity factor threshold ΔK. th At this point, cracks appear in the pit, and the depth is the critical pit depth a. c (Further steps will lead to cracks). Therefore, let ΔK pit =ΔK th The critical pit depth 'a' can be calculated by back-calculation. c :
[0089]
[0090] Combining equations (20) and (22), the service life of the corrosion stage can be obtained as follows:
[0091]
[0092] Among them, t c This indicates the time it takes for the pit to reach the critical pit depth, which is the lifespan of the corrosion stage.
[0093] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, D and C s It can be measured in the following ways:
[0094] The Stokes-Einstein equations indicate that:
[0095]
[0096] Where, k B η is the Boltzmann constant, with a value of 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J / K, T is the temperature (K), η is the solution viscosity (Pa·s), and r is the radius of the hydrated ion (determined by referring to a table).
[0097] The viscosity of the solution is measured using a capillary viscometer. The time t it takes for the solution to flow through the capillary is compared with that of a reference liquid with a known viscosity (such as water, determined by referring to a table).
[0098]
[0099] That is, the test solution and water are passed through capillary tubes of the same length, and the time taken for each is t and t', respectively. 水 The density ρ of the solution to be tested and the density ρ of water are... 水 , and η 水 Since it is known, η can be measured.
[0100] In a saturated solution, due to the dissolution-precipitation equilibrium, the ion concentration at the electrode surface no longer changes netly with time. Therefore, the open circuit potential (OCP) of the electrode reaches a stable value that does not drift over time. This stable OCP value directly corresponds to the saturation concentration C. s .
[0101] Prepare a series of metal ion solutions with known concentrations (below the saturation concentration). For each concentration solution, measure the OCP value of the working electrode after it reaches stability, and obtain the relationship between the OCP value and the corresponding log(ion concentration).
[0102] Measuring the stable OCP in this saturated solution sat (It contains an excess of solid phase, ensuring a saturated state), substituting this into the previously established relationship, yields the corresponding C. s .
[0103] S120. Construct a model for the crack propagation rate of steel wire.
[0104] When the pitting reaches a critical size, cracks will initiate. Crack propagation follows the Paris equation.
[0105]
[0106] Where ΔK cra Y represents the stress intensity factor of the crack, Y represents the shape factor, and N represents the number of stress cycles.
[0107] Integrating equation (26) yields the fatigue life:
[0108]
[0109] To calculate fatigue life, determine the initial crack depth x0 and the critical crack depth x during the crack propagation stage. c , C, m.
[0110] Since cracks initiate at the critical pitting point, the critical pitting depth a c It can be considered as the initial crack x0.
[0111] And ΔK th Since x0 follows a normal distribution, the probability distribution F(X0) can be derived. However, its analytical expression is too complex; therefore, in this embodiment, the Monte Carlo method will be used to determine ΔK. th and x0.
[0112] steel wire fracture toughness K c Also following a normal distribution, the critical crack depth x c According to K c Iterative calculations yielded the following results:
[0113]
[0114] Where, σ max This represents the maximum stress during the loading process. The parameters C and m can be calculated by testing the SN curve. First, the Paris formula is simplified to:
[0115]
[0116] Separate variables and integrate:
[0117]
[0118] Simplifying, we get:
[0119]
[0120] set up:
[0121]
[0122] but:
[0123]
[0124] Take the logarithmic form:
[0125] logN=logH-mlogΔσ (36) The general form of the SN curve is:
[0126] Δσ m' ·N=C SN (37)
[0127] Or in logarithmic form:
[0128] logN = logC SN -m'logΔσ (38)
[0129] Among them, C SN denoted as fatigue strength coefficient, and m′ is the slope parameter in the SN curve.
[0130] Comparing the two equations, we can obtain:
[0131] m=m' (39)
[0132]
[0133] By subjecting steel wire to fatigue loading at different stress levels and plotting the data on a double logarithmic coordinate system, a linear relationship can be fitted. The parameters C and m can then be obtained from the slope and intercept of the relationship.
[0134] S130, Predict the life of steel cables.
[0135] After obtaining the wire failure model, the failure of the steel cable can be simulated and calculated based on fiber bundle theory. This embodiment uses a series-parallel model of the steel cable to progressively simulate and predict the failure of the wires in the cable until the cable's failure criteria are met. Specifically, the steel cable to be predicted is modeled as follows: Figure 2 The series-parallel model shown consists of n units of length l0 connected in series to form a single steel wire, and K steel wires of length L connected in parallel to form the entire steel cable.
[0136] Crack propagation is a high-cyclic fatigue problem, and stepwise cyclic analysis of high-cyclic fatigue requires significant computation time. Therefore, the skip-cycle method is used to simulate crack propagation.
[0137] First, determine the number of steel wires K, the number of elements n, and the initial load S. Then, based on the known parameter distribution, use the Monte Carlo method to randomly generate a set of data (including K×n ΔK values). th and K c The values are combined and assigned to each wire unit (or segment). Finally, the pitting and crack propagation formulas in S110 and S120 are used to calculate and determine whether the wire has broken, and the corresponding fatigue life is recorded. When the additional fatigue life after the wire breaks is less than the set threshold E of the cumulative life (e.g., 5%, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions), it is considered that the remaining wires in the cable are breaking rapidly, and the cable is considered to have failed (continued use may cause the entire cable to break instantly).
[0138] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 ΔK for each segment th and K cOnce determined, ΔK is used for each segment. th and K C Calculate the initial crack depth x0 and critical crack depth x for each segment. c The specific method is shown in equations (22) and (30). In this case, Δσ in equation (22) is the stress distributed by the initial load S to each segment.
[0139] Then, based on the diffusion coefficient D of steel wire metal ions into the corrosive solution during the corrosion stage, the saturated ion concentration C of the metal solution in the pit... s and ΔK for each segment th And stress distribution (i.e. stress range), calculate the time t for each segment of the pit to reach the critical pit depth. c The specific calculation method is shown in equation (23).
[0140] Next, from t c Starting with the shortest segment, the following operations are executed sequentially at each time step:
[0141] S1-1. Determine the target segment in the crack propagation stage within the current time step; apply stress cycles with a set step size based on x0 of each target segment, and calculate the crack propagation depth x of each target segment after loading. Specifically, for each segment, t... c The timing of each segment entering the crack propagation stage is not necessarily the same, therefore the timing also differs. c The smallest segment enters the crack propagation stage first. Stress cycles are applied based on the x0 value of this segment, and x is calculated. Segments that have not yet entered the crack propagation stage remain in the corrosion stage, and crack propagation does not need to be calculated. Therefore, this embodiment first determines which segments have entered the crack propagation stage within the current time step.
[0142] Optionally, select the shortest t among the segments. c The simulation begins at time t0, which is the first time step. The duration of the stress cycle with a set step length applied in each time step is taken as the simulation duration Δt for each time step. Based on the simulated start time and simulation duration, the simulation start time t0 + uΔt for the current time step can be calculated, where u represents the number of time steps calculated before the current time step. If the current time step is the first time step, then u = 1. Then, for each segment that has not yet entered the crack propagation stage, the following judgment is made: if the t0 of this segment... c If the time interval is less than or equal to the start time of the simulation at the current time step, then the segment has entered the crack propagation stage at the current time step. For ease of distinction and description, each segment that enters the crack propagation stage within each time step is referred to as the target segment.
[0143] Then, for each target segment, the crack propagation depth of each segment at the end of the simulated duration in the current time step is calculated. The calculation method is as follows:
[0144] x = x0 + ∑C(ΔK) cra ) m ΔN (41)
[0145] Where ΔN represents the stress cyclic loading step size for each time step, that is, ΔN stress cycles are applied for each time step.
[0146] S1-2, Determine whether x of each target segment reaches x of each target segment. c Specifically, for each target segment:
[0147] If x <x c This indicates that the current target segment is not broken.
[0148] If x≥x c This indicates that the current target segment and the steel wire it belongs to have broken. At this point, the minimum fatigue life of all segments within that steel wire is taken as the fatigue life of the steel wire. Simultaneously, the cumulative fatigue life N of the cable at the time of wire breakage is recorded. sum,t And calculate the cumulative life N of the steel cable recorded in this instance. sum,t Compared to the previous record, the cumulative lifespan of the steel cable N sum,t-1 The percentage R of the increase in the cumulative lifespan of the steel cable recorded in this study is:
[0149]
[0150] If R is less than the set threshold E (e.g., 5%), it is determined that the steel wire will break rapidly in a short time, and the steel cable will fail. In this case, N... sum,t That is, the final lifespan of the steel cable.
[0151] If R is greater than or equal to the set threshold E, the cable is determined not to have failed. The stress originally borne by the broken wire is then distributed to the segments of the unbroken wire; and the stress is then determined based on the stress on each segment of the unbroken wire at N. sum,t The crack depth at time step (i.e., x at that time) is used as the new x0, and the cycle continues into the next time step. This cycle repeats until the cable fails, yielding the final wire life.
[0152] The entire process described above is also a simulation of cable failure, and it can be combined with... Figure 4 This is understandable, among which, Figure 4 N in wire N refers to the cumulative lifespan of the steel wire after each breakage. wire / N sum This is equivalent to the R mentioned above.
[0153] In summary, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the entire lifespan of steel cables considering corrosion-fatigue coupling. This method can:
[0154] 1. Based on Fick's diffusion law, an explicit relationship between pit depth a(t) and diffusion gradient is established; the diffusion effect of ions is considered. As the pit deepens, the path of metal ions diffusing into the solution becomes longer, which leads to the decay of corrosion current density j with increasing depth, breaking the constant current assumption.
[0155] 2. The SN curve is obtained based on the fatigue data of actual specimens. The Paris parameter C,m is inverted through the log-linear mapping relationship (Equation 38-40), which can truly reflect the material properties and break through the limitations of empirical values in the failure criteria of the cable system.
[0156] 3. Combining the series-parallel fiber bundle model, a full-process simulation of steel cables that can consider the effects of corrosion is proposed, which is more in line with the service scenarios of steel cables. In the simulation prediction, the influence of steel wire corrosion is considered and the corrosion stage life is calculated. Stress distribution and cumulative damage phenomena are considered. When the life added by a single wire break is less than a certain threshold of the cumulative life (such as 5%), the steel cable is judged to be in failure. The dynamic determination of whether the steel cable is in failure overcomes the empirical defects of the traditional critical wire breakage number.
[0157] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as...

The processor 60 executes various functional applications and data processing of the device by running the software programs, instructions, and modules stored in the memory 61, thereby realizing the aforementioned corrosion-fatigue coupling-considered steel cable life prediction method.
