Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of monitoring the stress conditions of engineering tensile components and relates to a real-time tensile stress monitoring method using Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe-Cu ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the sudden destruction and collapse of engineering structures such as bridges at home and abroad have sounded the alarm for people. Structural safety has become a key issue of concern. Real-time monitoring of the stress state and usage of tension components is an extremely important step related to structural safety.

[0003] In existing technologies, the electromagnetic signals of materials can respond to structural changes relatively quickly. However, for non-conductive materials such as concrete, it is necessary to use the characteristics of other materials to output signals without causing damage to the structure.

[0004] Chinese patent CN105818822A discloses a device and method for real-time monitoring of rail temperature stress using laser ultrasonic technology. A pulsed laser emits pulsed laser light onto the rail, generating ultrasonic waves. A laser probe receives the ultrasonic signal and transmits the measured time value to a processor, enabling real-time and accurate monitoring of rail temperature stress. This provides a new approach for nondestructive testing of rails and is of great significance for ensuring safe rail operation. Ultrasonic signal monitoring is suitable for real-time tensile stress monitoring of conductive materials.

[0005] Chinese patent CN114414359A discloses a device for testing the full compressive stress-strain curve of ultra-high-strength concrete under uniaxial compressive conditions at high temperatures. It provides a device for testing the full compressive stress-strain curve of concrete specimens in an electro-hydraulic servo compression-shear testing machine, and is suitable for concrete specimens damaged by high temperatures.

[0006] Chinese patent CN111257113A discloses a concrete uniaxial tensile stress-strain curve testing method and testing device, which is only for concrete test blocks and cannot measure the tensile stress of different tensile components of concrete engineering structures such as domestic and foreign bridges in real time.

[0007] Chinese patent CN110197015A discloses a method for measuring the effective tensile stress of prestressed anchor cables at a dam foundation. The method calculates a monitoring value of the dam foundation horizontal displacement from a statistical model of the dam foundation horizontal displacement by modeling and analyzing observation data that causes deformation. The corresponding simulation value of the dam foundation horizontal displacement is calculated by establishing a three-dimensional finite element model of the dam. The tensile stress value is determined by mutually verifying the monitoring value of the dam foundation horizontal displacement with the simulation value of the dam foundation horizontal displacement. However, the method is not capable of performing real-time tensile stress measurement on different tensile components of concrete engineering structures such as domestic and foreign bridges.

[0008] In summary, based on the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned stress measurement methods, how to provide a tensile stress measurement method for engineering structures such as bridges at home and abroad, especially a real-time measurement method for tensile stress of concrete engineering structures, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.

[0078] Furthermore, Figures 3(a-d) show that the linear relationship described above exists at different temperatures, but with different slopes. Therefore, this parameter can operate within a wide temperature window. The martensite volume fraction can be obtained using the rate of change of the magnetoresistivity, and the corresponding stress value can be obtained from the martensite volume fraction. In other words, the stress value can be indirectly obtained through the rate of change of the magnetoresistivity.

[0079] The ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ②, having a diameter of 200 μm and a length of 30 mm, was applied to a slope protection wall (monitored component ①). The method involved bonding and securing the two ends of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② to the slope protection wall (monitored component ①) along the tensile direction. An external magnetic field ③ was applied to the microwire using an energized coil. Silver glue wires were used to connect the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② to an ammeter ⑤ and a voltmeter ④. A four-terminal test was performed under an external magnetic field of 0.3 T and an ambient operating temperature of 320 K. The slope of the magnetoresistance curve of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② was -0.69, indicating a volume fraction of the martensite phase of 0%. The corresponding stress value, obtained from the stress-strain curve, was 0 MPa, indicating zero force. At this temperature, the slope of the magnetoresistance curve is -0.72, corresponding to a volume fraction of the martensite phase of 10.9% at 292K. The stress value corresponding to the stress-strain curve is 95MPa, which can monitor the stress state of the structural component in real time.

[0081] The alloy microwires were prepared by glass coating method, and the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires with good surface roundness were obtained. Figure 1 (b) shown.

[0082] Alloy composition is Ni 50 Mn 24 Ga 22 Fe3Cu1, the diameter of the alloy microwire is selected to be 200μm and the length is 3mm.

[0083] The ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires were subjected to room temperature axial stress stretching cycles using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA Q800). The stretching process involved applying tensile stress to the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires until the martensitic phase transformation was complete, unloading the stress to 0 MPa, and then reloading and unloading the stress. This cycle was repeated 100 times and 1000 times. The resistance of the first 15 stretching processes was monitored to obtain the strain-resistance curve of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires. The stress-strain curve is shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown in (a), the recoverable strain is about 13%, and the cycle performance is good. Figure 1 As shown in (c) and (d).

[0084] After the tensile test of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwires was completed, temperature resistivity test and magnetoresistivity test were carried out respectively. Figure 2 and 3. According to Figure 2 The resistivity changes significantly before and after the phase transformation, that is, the volume fraction of the martensite phase at different temperatures can be characterized by the resistivity.

[0085] like Figure 4As shown in FIG, the magnetoresistance test of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microfilament requires the use of silver glue wires to connect the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microfilament and the ammeter and voltmeter. Under an external magnetic field, a four-terminal method is used for testing. According to the curve, it can be obtained that within the external magnetic field range of <0.5T, the magnetoresistance change rate of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microfilament presents a linear relationship with the external magnetic field, and this linear relationship remains consistent with the increase in the number of training times.

[0086] Furthermore, Figures 3(a-d) show that the linear relationship described above exists at different temperatures, but with different slopes. Therefore, this parameter can operate within a wide temperature window. The martensite volume fraction can be obtained using the rate of change of the magnetoresistivity, and the corresponding stress value can be obtained from the martensite volume fraction. In other words, the stress value can be indirectly obtained through the rate of change of the magnetoresistivity.

[0087] The ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ②, having a diameter of 200 μm and a length of 30 mm, was applied to the outer wall of the pressure vessel (the monitored component ①). The method involved bonding and affixing the two ends of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② to the outer wall of the pressure vessel (the monitored component ①) along the tensile direction, applying an external magnetic field ③ to the microwire using a permanent magnet, and connecting the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② to an ammeter ⑤ and a voltmeter ④ using silver glue wires. Under an applied magnetic field of 0.3 T and an ambient operating temperature of 292 K, a four-terminal test was performed. The slope of the magnetoresistance curve of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire ② was -0.72, indicating a volume fraction of the martensite phase of 10.9%. Corresponding to the stress-strain curve, a stress value of 95 MPa was obtained. When the slope of the magnetoresistance curve is -1.86 at this temperature, the volume fraction of the corresponding martensite phase is 100% of that at 200K, and the stress value corresponding to the stress-strain curve is 173MPa. The stress state of the outer wall of the pressure tank can be monitored in real time, and it can be recycled.

[0088] In the above scheme, the present invention uses the Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe-Cu ferromagnetic shape memory alloy microwire prepared by the glass coating method, and utilizes the linear response of its magnetoresistance change rate to the magnetic field, and the correspondence between the volume fraction of the martensite phase and stress to monitor the stress state of non-conductive, non-magnetic tensile components such as concrete in real time.

[0089] The present invention solves the problem of low measurement accuracy and great influence of ambient temperature in traditional methods of reflecting stress changes of conductive materials through resistivity, and can be applied to non-conductive and non-magnetic materials such as concrete.

[0090] In the present invention, the linear relationship between the magnetoresistance change rate and the external magnetic field remains stable as the number of stretching times increases.

[0091] The present invention utilizes an energized coil or a magnet to apply an external magnetic field to the alloy microwire.

[0092] The present invention works within a wide temperature window and a stable magnetic field. The wide temperature window is 200-320K, and the stable magnetic field is a magnetic field of <0.5T.

[0093] In the present invention, the resistivity changes significantly before and after the temperature-induced phase transformation, that is, the volume fraction of the martensite phase at different temperatures can be characterized by the resistivity.

[0094] The overall real-time tensile stress monitoring method of the present invention is simple, has high production efficiency, high product quality, can be miniaturized and reused, has a short process and low cost, can operate within a wide temperature window, and under certain operating ambient temperature and external magnetic field conditions, the magnetoresistance change rate, martensite phase volume fraction, and stress correspond in sequence through the microwire, which is conducive to large-scale industrial promotion and use.

[0095] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
