[0047] The method for calculating the critical value of thermal buckling of composite metal connection structures provided in this application corrects the thermal expansion coefficient α2 of the metal in the composite metal connection structure and calculates the critical temperature difference for buckling instability of the composite metal connection structure, as follows:

[0048] Step 1: Based on the stiffness ratio of the connection parts of the composite metal connection structure, obtain the deformation relationship of the composite metal connection structure:

[0049] Force balance equation: A x1 σ x1 =A x2 σ x2 A y1 σ y1 =A y2 σ y2 ;

[0050] in,

[0051] A x1 The area of ​​the composite material connection part in the x-direction in the composite metal connection structure is numerically equal to the length along the x-direction multiplied by its thickness.

[0052] σ x1 This represents the stress in the x-direction at the composite material connection point in a composite metal connection structure.

[0053] A x2 The area of ​​the metal connection part in the composite metal connection structure in the x direction is numerically equal to the length along the x direction multiplied by its thickness.

[0054] σ x2 This represents the stress in the x-direction at the metal connection portion of a composite metal connection structure.

[0055] A y1 The area of ​​the composite material connection part in the y direction in the composite metal connection structure is numerically equal to the length along the y direction multiplied by its thickness.

[0056] σ y1 This represents the stress in the y-direction at the composite material connection point in a composite metal connection structure.

[0057] A y2 The area of ​​the metal connection part in the composite metal connection structure in the y direction is numerically equal to the length along the y direction multiplied by its thickness.

[0058] σ y2This represents the stress in the y-direction at the metal connection portion of a composite metal connection structure.

[0059] Stress-strain constitutive equations:

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] in,

[0063] E1 is the elastic modulus of the composite material in the composite metal connection structure;

[0064] ε x1 The strain of the composite material in the x-direction in the composite metal connection structure;

[0065] ε y1 The strain of the composite material in the y-direction in the composite metal connection structure;

[0066] μ1 is the Poisson's ratio of the composite material in the composite metal connection structure;

[0067] α1 is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite material in the composite metal connection structure;

[0068] T represents temperature;

[0069] E2 is the elastic modulus of the metal in the composite metal connection structure;

[0070] ε x2 The strain of the metal in the x-direction in the composite metal connection structure;

[0071] ε y2 The strain of the metal in the y-direction in the composite metal connection structure;

[0072] Deformation compatibility equations:

[0073] Step 2: Obtain the corrected coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal in the composite metal connection structure:

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] in,

[0077] The modified coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal in the α′2 composite metal connection structure;

[0078] t1 represents the thickness of the composite material in the composite metal connection structure;

[0079] t2 represents the thickness of the metal in the composite metal connection structure.

[0080] Step 3: Substitute the corrected coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal in the composite metal connection structure into the calculation of the critical temperature difference for buckling instability of the composite metal connection structure:

[0081]

[0082] In one specific embodiment, the 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy flat plate is constrained and supported on all four sides using a composite material with a coefficient of thermal expansion much lower than its own. Figure 2 As shown, strain gauges A7 and B7, A8 and B8, and A9 and B9 are bonded to each other on both sides of an aluminum alloy plate. When the ambient temperature rises from 20℃ to 70℃, the thermal deformation of the aluminum alloy plate is constrained, and thermal stress is generated in the structure. The accumulation of thermal stress leads to thermal buckling. The thermal strain curves measured by strain gauges A7 and B7, A8 and B8, and A9 and B9 are shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown.

[0083] since Figure 3 As can be seen, the critical temperature difference for thermal buckling is: ΔT = 66.1 - 20 = 46.1℃;

[0084] Using the original coefficient of thermal expansion of the aluminum alloy plate, the critical temperature difference for thermal buckling instability is calculated as follows:

[0085]

[0086] Correction for the coefficient of thermal expansion of aluminum alloy flat plates:

[0087] Using the corrected coefficient of thermal expansion of the aluminum alloy plate, the critical temperature difference for thermal buckling instability is calculated as follows:

[0088]

[0089] As can be seen from the above, the calculation of the critical temperature difference for thermal buckling instability using the original thermal expansion coefficient of the aluminum alloy plate deviates significantly from the actual value. However, the calculation of the critical temperature difference for thermal buckling instability using the corrected thermal expansion coefficient of the aluminum alloy plate is closer to the actual value and can meet the needs of engineering design.

[0090] The technical solution of this application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
