Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a test device and a method suitable for non-standard multi-component composite fatigue fracture, belonging to the technical field of composite fatigue fracture testing. Background Art

[0002] Fatigue and fracture are common failure modes of mechanical parts, and are also one of the most serious forms of failure. Due to the asymmetry of loads borne by engineering structures, the randomness of crack generation, and the anisotropy of materials, cracks in actual engineering components are often not of a single type. The stress field near the crack tip contains stresses of type I, type II, and type III cracks at the same time, that is, cracks in the structure often present a composite state.

[0003] The crack tip field and fatigue fracture behavior of composite cracks are affected by uncertain factors such as sample material, geometric dimensions, stress state, and loading form. It is difficult to unify the existing experimental research conclusions. In addition, due to the complexity of composite fatigue fracture problems and the diversity of samples, a unified composite fatigue fracture test standard has not yet been formed. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate relevant composite crack fracture test standards to regulate composite fatigue fracture test research, among which the development of test equipment is the prerequisite for solving the problem of composite fatigue fracture test standardization.

[0004] Compound crack types include I-II, I-III and II-III compound cracks, etc. The experimental study of each compound crack requires a corresponding loading fixture, and the material cost and processing cost are relatively high. In addition, the size effect of fatigue fracture problems cannot be ignored. If the influence of the size effect is considered, several loading fixtures are required, which greatly increases the test cost. This patent develops a compound loading fixture that can achieve different compound crack tip states by replacing small fixture auxiliary parts; and by adding adaptive supports to adapt to tests of specimens of different thicknesses. It is simple to operate, easy to implement, and saves material and processing costs. Summary of the invention

[0035] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0036] 1) When the present invention is working, three different auxiliary clamps are assembled and fixed with the clamp 2 to form a clamp suitable for different composite cracks, and then the entire clamp 2 is connected to the sample by screws, and then the clamp 1 and the clamp 2 are connected by bolts and nuts, and the clamping end of the clamp 1 is connected to the fatigue tensile test and connected thereto, and the clamp 1 is driven by a common tension and compression testing machine, so that the load is transmitted to the sample through the clamp 2 and the auxiliary clamps, thereby meeting the requirements of fatigue fracture tests of type I, type II, type III and I-II, I-III, II-III composite cracks, and laying a foundation for realizing fatigue fracture failure assessment of key mechanical parts and engineering components under complex service conditions.

[0037] 2) When the present invention is working, the adaptive support device cooperates with the auxiliary fixture, and then is assembled and fixed with the second fixture to form a device suitable for samples of different thicknesses. The entire second fixture is connected to the sample by screws, and then the first fixture is connected to the second fixture by bolts and nuts, and the clamping end of the first fixture is connected to the fatigue tensile tester, and the first fixture is driven by a common tension and compression tester, so that the load is transmitted to the sample through the second fixture and the auxiliary fixture. Thus, the loading conditions of fatigue fracture samples of different sizes are met, providing conditions for the study of the size effect of composite cracks.

[0038] 3) The two sets of through holes designed on the fan-shaped plate of the second clamp in the present invention can transfer the applied load to the sample in the radial direction, and can fix the first clamp and the second clamp to avoid rotation that may affect the experimental results. The design of the two sets of through holes on the fan-shaped arc plate can save the fixing assembly of bolts and nuts, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

[0039] 4) The present invention realizes three different composite crack fatigue fracture tests and composite fatigue fracture test research of samples of different sizes and thicknesses by replacing auxiliary fixtures (without changing the entire set of loading fixtures and samples). Compared with the previous loading fixtures that require complex processing, the present invention reduces the difficulty and cost of operation by replacing auxiliary fixtures to adjust to meet the fatigue fracture test of different types of cracks. The three auxiliary fixtures and lifting devices are simple in overall shape, easy to process and easy to operate.

[0040] 5) The specimens in the present invention can simultaneously meet the requirements of type I, type II, type III and composite fatigue crack growth tests, so the specimens in the present invention are also called CTS (compact tension shear) torsion specimens and CTT (compact tension tear) specimens; the unique structure of the CTS and CTT specimens in the present invention not only has a sufficiently long effective crack growth area, but also is easy to preform type I fatigue cracks.
