Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering and test technology, and in particular to a dynamic failure simulation method for a composite material-metal connection structure test piece. Background Art

[0002] Due to the superior properties of composite materials such as high specific strength, high specific stiffness and strong designability, the proportion of composite materials used in military and civilian aircraft structures has been greatly increased in recent years, and their application sites have gradually transitioned from secondary load-bearing structures such as active surfaces to primary load-bearing structures such as fuselages and wings; although aircraft composite structures are developing in the direction of integrated design and manufacturing, due to the requirements of structural design, manufacturing, use and maintenance, necessary process separation surfaces and maintenance covers must be designed, so connection structures are still inevitable; composite material connection structures usually appear in the transition area of ​​components, which are manifested as structural shape discontinuities and material discontinuities in the connection area, which easily lead to high stress concentration in the local structure, so the connection structure becomes a key link in the overall structural design of the aircraft, and its connection design is one of the most challenging tasks in aircraft structural design;

[0003] The factors that affect the strength of composite material connection structures are more complex than those of metals, and some of these factors are essentially different. For example, metals are plastic isotropic materials, while composites are brittle anisotropic materials. The failure of metal materials is independent of the coordinate direction, while the failure of composite materials is related to the coordinate system, and the stiffness and strength degrade layer by layer. Therefore, fiber-reinforced composite materials often have more and more complex failure modes than traditional metal materials. Therefore, the ideas and methods of metal structure connection design cannot continue to be used, otherwise, large errors will occur, or even serious design accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct extensive research on fiber-reinforced composite connection structures, study the influence of connection methods on connection strength and failure modes, and provide useful references for the optimal design of corresponding composite connectors.

[0004] However, the main load-bearing components in the current aircraft structures are still mainly made of metal materials, which inevitably requires the connection of composite structural parts and metal structural parts. Due to the anisotropy and multi-mode damage of composite materials, the connection between them and metal becomes the weak point of the entire structure. More than 70% of the damage of aircraft composite-metal structural parts occurs at the connection. Therefore, the study of composite-metal connection performance is of great engineering significance. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a dynamic failure simulation method for a composite material-metal connection structure test piece. This method studies the influence of load action mode and different loading rates on its failure mode, reveals its failure mechanism and failure criterion under the action of crash load, so as to further study its numerical simulation method, break through its modeling technology, and carry out application research in the finite element model of the cargo hold floor substructure, which has academic significance and scientific value for guiding engineering practice.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0013] S101. Using the typical titanium alloy high-lock bolt fastener CFBL1001 used in aircraft fuselage structure, and using a high-speed hydraulic servo material testing machine as the test platform, load failure experiments were carried out under 30° tension-shear coupling, 45° tension-shear coupling, 60° tension-shear coupling, pure tension, pure shear and other loading modes and different loading rates;

[0014] S102. In the dynamic composite loading test, the actual load on the high-lock bolt fastener during the tensile process can be decomposed into a component along the tensile direction and a component along the shear direction:

[0015] T(α)=Fcosα (1)

[0016] N(α)=Fsinα (2)

[0017] In equations (1) and (2), F is the actual load of the high-lock bolt fastener during the tensile process, α is the loading angle, that is, the angle between the tensile direction and the nail rod, T(α) and N(α) are the components along the tensile direction and the components along the shear direction, respectively;

[0018] S103. According to the results of pure tension, 30° compound loading, 45° compound loading, 60° compound loading and pure shear test, the failure surface of the high-lock bolt fastener is obtained. When the tensile component and shear component of the load borne by the high-lock bolt fastener are located inside the failure surface, the high-lock bolt fastener does not fail. Otherwise, the high-lock bolt fastener fails. Then the failure equation of the high-lock bolt fastener is obtained:

[0019]

[0020] In formula (3), Tu and Nu are the maximum tensile load and the maximum shear load, respectively. The values ​​of a and b can be obtained by numerical fitting based on the test data of 30° composite loading, 45° composite loading, and 60° composite loading.

[0024] S203. At the same time, digital imaging technology is used to record the entire test process of the dynamic failure test, and the dynamic strain field on the surface of the test piece is obtained. The deformation of the two motherboards is observed, and the dynamic failure load and failure deformation information of the connection structure under different working conditions are analyzed in combination with the speckle situation to reveal its destructive failure mechanism.

[0025] Preferably, the research process of the dynamic failure numerical simulation and modeling method of the composite material-metal connection structure test piece described in step S3 includes:

[0027] S302. The metal motherboard adopts the JC failure model or the GISSMO damage model, and the composite motherboard adopts the Chang-Chang failure criterion. Two interlayer modeling methods, adhesive unit and interlayer contact, are used respectively. By identifying key parameters, the parameter values ​​are determined; the hexahedral cluster entity unit is used to simulate the fastener.

[0049] T(α)=Fcosα (1)

[0050] N(α)=Fsinα (2)

[0051] In equations (1) and (2), F is the actual load of the high-lock bolt fastener during the tensile process, α is the loading angle, that is, the angle between the tensile direction and the nail rod, T(α) and N(α) are the components along the tensile direction and the components along the shear direction, respectively;

[0052] S103.
