Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of crane fatigue life estimation, specifically relating to a fatigue life prediction method for a K-shaped boom structure with flattened web members based on response surface modeling and S-N curves. The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A finite element model of the truss boom is established and the axial force of each member is calculated; a combination of geometric parameters characterizing the three-dimensional geometry of the K-shaped boom structure is proposed; a three-dimensional finite element model of the K-shaped structure with flattened web members is established to determine the most likely failure hotspots; based on the response surface model, a mathematical relationship is established between the stress concentration factor of the hotspots and the geometric parameters of the K-shaped structure; and combined with the hotspot stress and fatigue life S-N curves, a surrogate model of chord axial force-geometric parameters-fatigue life is established to achieve rapid assessment of the fatigue life of the K-shaped structure. The fatigue life prediction method for a K-shaped boom structure with flattened web members based on response surface modeling and S-N curves provided by this invention can quickly and efficiently predict the fatigue life of a truss crane boom K-shaped structure.
