Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of structural health monitoring and relates to a method for calculating the theoretical damage degree of beam structures, specifically a method for calculating the damage degree of cracked T-beam elements using the stress diffusion angle method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the number of old bridges in my country has been increasing, and the problems they present have become increasingly prominent. Among various forms of bridge damage, cracking is a relatively common one, significantly impacting the load-bearing capacity and subsequent lifespan of bridges. Although numerous studies have been conducted on damage identification methods for beam structures based on static indices, theoretical damage calculation methods for transverse cracks are still limited. Furthermore, the spacing between measuring points is usually fixed during damage identification. When damage is detected in the structure, it is likely that localized damage occurs between two measuring points. In this case, what is the equivalent damage level between the two measuring points? This question is crucial for the reasonable interpretation of quantitative damage index results. Due to the significant difficulty in quantifying the degree of damage, there are currently few reports in the literature on experimental verification.

[0003] T-beams are commonly used in various bridges due to their good load-bearing capacity and relatively simple construction process. Currently, there is no systematic and accurate theoretical method for calculating the crack stress intensity factor of T-beams. Therefore, the theoretical damage degree of elements containing transverse cracks cannot be directly calculated based on the transverse crack stress intensity factor of T-beams. Furthermore, the results calculated using the formula for the damage degree of rectangular beam elements with cracks have a large relative error compared to the damage degree of T-beam crack elements, and are not applicable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of calculating the theoretical value of element damage in T-beam crack damage, this invention proposes a method for calculating the element damage of cracked T-beams using the stress diffusion angle method.

[0005] The method for calculating the damage degree of a cracked T-beam element using the stress diffusion angle method described in this invention comprises the following steps:

[0007] (2) Based on the crack height h cr Given the T-beam section height h, calculate the relative crack height ζ, ζ = h cr / h;

Each small segment has a T-shaped cross-section, and the height of the midpoint of the small segment is taken as the height of the small segment. The height h of the stress-free zone of the m-th small segment is... crm :

[0090] Where ζ is the relative height of the crack, ζ = h cr / h, where h is the height of the T-beam section. cr The crack height is α(ζ), and the unit is degrees.

[0092] Specifically, in steps (4), (6), (7), and (8), the number of beam segments N on one side of the stress diffusion section is not less than 100.

The damage degree of crack elements in the web and top plate of a T-beam is calculated according to the stress diffusion angle. Furthermore, the accuracy of the calculation of the damage degree of cracked T-beam elements is improved by correcting the crack height. The applicability of the method is verified through numerical examples, providing a theoretical basis for T-beam structural damage identification experiments. Attached Figure Description

[0129] The method for calculating the damage degree of a cracked T-beam element using the stress diffusion angle method described in this invention is as follows:

[0130] I. Damage Degree D of Cracked Rectangular Beam Element e Calculation method

[0131] 1) Degree of damage to element linear stiffness

[0132] Based on the model of a cracked element equivalent to a cracked spring, the location of the crack is considered as a series of lengthless, massless, and stiff torsional springs. The cracked spring beam element model is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 X in the figure n X n+1 Here, n and n+1 are the measurement point location numbers, δl is the measurement point unit length, and h is the measurement point location number. cr K represents the crack height. r Add spring stiffness to the crack, l x l is half the length of the undamaged portion of the measuring point unit. x =δl-l x .

[0133] The linear stiffness of the damage-free element is K:

[0134]

[0135] In the formula, E is the elastic modulus of the material, and I is the moment of inertia of the cross section.

[0136] By connecting the crack-added spring in series with the undamaged beam element, the equivalent linear stiffness of the element containing the crack damage is obtained as K. d :

[0137]

[0138] The formula for calculating the damage degree of cracked elements is D. e :

[0139]

[0140] 2) Additional spring for crack

[0141] The model diagram of the Type I cracked beam is shown below. Figure 4 In the figure, M is the bending moment at the beam end, L0 is the distance from the crack measuring point element to the left end of the beam, and L is the calculated span of the beam.

[0142] Chondros proposed a Type I crack calculation model, suggesting that when a beam structure develops a crack, an additional flexibility is generated at the crack location. This additional flexibility can be calculated based on the additional strain energy generated by the crack. According to Castigliano's theorem, the additional displacement θ generated by the crack in a structure under general loads is... * The load can be obtained by differentiating the additional strain energy generated by the structure:

[0143]

[0144] In the above formula: U F This is due to the additional strain energy generated by the cracks in the structure; M is the bending moment. Additional strain energy U F It can be obtained by integral calculation using J-integral:

[0145]

[0146] In the formula, b is the width of the beam section, h cr Let J be the crack height. The J integral can be calculated from the corresponding crack stress intensity factor. The specific formula for calculating the strain energy density J integral is as follows:

[0147]

[0148] In the formula, F(ζ) is a coefficient related to the stress intensity factor and the relative height of the crack, which can be selected from the stress intensity factor handbook according to the stress condition of the beam.

[0149] Additional angular displacement θ * for:

[0150]

[0151] Simplifying equation (7) yields:

[0152]

[0153] In the formula: ζ=h cr / h,

[0154] Differentiating equation (8) with respect to the bending moment M, we obtain the crack-additional spring flexibility c. * The expression is:

[0155]

[0156] Stiffness K of the spring with crackr The expression is:

[0157]

[0158] In the formula: ζ=h cr / h, It is the parameter calculation formula obtained by the transformation integral of the additional strain energy calculation formula; Φ(ζ) is the parameter calculation formula after the integration of the correction formula; And Φ(ζ) varies depending on the chosen F(ζ); I is the moment of inertia of the rectangular beam section.

[0159] 3) Formula for calculating the damage degree of transverse crack elements

[0160] For a transverse crack in a beam structure element, based on the crack stress intensity factor and the crack-added spring stiffness, combined with the crack series spring theory and the linear stiffness damage degree calculation method, the damage degree calculation formula for a rectangular beam element with a transverse crack is derived. From equations (1) to (3) and equation (10), the damage degree D of the rectangular beam element with a transverse crack is derived. e :

[0161]

[0162] In the above formula: E is the elastic modulus, I is the moment of inertia, ζ is the relative height of the crack, and ζ = h cr / h, where h is the beam height. cr Let δ be the crack height and δl be the element length at the measuring point. The element damage degree of a transverse crack on one side of a rectangular beam is denoted as D. er-c (D e The damage level is indicated by "Damage", where "r" represents a rectangular beam and "c" represents a crack.

[0163] Additional spring stiffness parameters for cracks Calculation method:

[0164] From the stress intensity factor handbook, the coefficient F(ζ) of the stress intensity factor for a single-sided crack in pure bending and The formula is as follows:

[0165] F(ζ) = 1.122 - 1.40ζ + 7.33ζ 2 -13.08ζ 3 +14.0ζ 4 (12)

[0166]

[0167] Equation (12) is used in a range and with an accuracy of ζ<0.6. The calculation error of the stress intensity factor is within 0.2%. The length of the measuring point unit δl is not less than the section height 2h. The case analysis shows that when δl is not less than the section height h, the effect is also good.

[0168] II. Crack Damage Equivalent Stress Diffusion Model

[0169] Due to the influence of cracks, a stress-free zone exists at and around the crack location. This leads to a significant discrepancy between the damage calculated directly based on the series stiffness of the beam segments for slotted or inclined damage and the actual damage. Taking this as a starting point, the stress diffusion effect of the crack can be considered as diffusion along a certain angle, called the stress diffusion angle of the crack. The stiffness of the portion outside the stress diffusion zone is neglected, thus causing damage. The stiffness of the stress diffusion portion is then calculated segment by segment, and then incorporated into the damage element for damage degree calculation, thereby obtaining the crack damage of other beam sections. Based on the common rectangular beam transverse crack series spring model, the location of the crack is treated as an added lengthless, massless, stiff spring for structural damage calculation.

[0170] The transverse crack stress propagation model is an equivalent model of beam structure damage calculation that removes the stress-free zone caused by the crack, replacing the crack-added spring model. It assumes the stress propagation mode is linear. Figure 5 In the figure, the gray area represents the assumed stress-free region, h cr α is the crack height, α is the stress diffusion angle on one side of the crack, δl is the length of the measuring point element, and according to the stress intensity factor handbook, δl = 2h; l1 is half the length of the undamaged part of the measuring point element, l2 is half the length of the stress diffusion region, 2l2 = δl - 2l1; h cr The formula relating l2 and α is: tanα=l2 / h cr The coordinate system in the figure has the crack tip as the origin, the beam length direction as the x-axis, and the beam height direction as the y-axis.

[0171] The stress diffusion angle of a linear crack is calculated using the equivalent crack element stiffness method, based on the crack element stiffness K calculated using a rectangular beam series spring model. d The crack element linear stiffness K is equivalent to the crack stress diffusion angle calculated. dSDA Therefore, the stress diffusion angle α can be calculated. The theoretical derivation is as follows:

[0172] The stress intensity factor, as a criterion for whether a crack will continue to propagate, is related to the local stress state. However, the degree of crack damage is a characterization of the regional impact of the crack on the beam. Without considering whether the crack will continue to propagate, the degree of element damage caused by the crack is independent of the stress state. The stiffness K of a crack-connected spring element...d Equations (1), (2), (10), and (13) are used for calculation. The linear stiffness K of the undamaged element is calculated using equation (1), and the linear stiffness K of the undamaged part on one side of the cracked element is... nd :

[0173]

[0174] The stress diffusion portion on one side can be considered as a beam segment of length l2 composed of N small segments of equal length but unequal height connected in series. In actual calculations, N = 100 indicates that the calculation has converged. Figure 6 .

[0175] Stress diffusion length l1 and h cr The relationship between the length of the lossless segment l2 and the length of the lossless segment is: l2 = h cr ·tanα, δl=2l1+2l2, the linear stiffness K of the m-th segment of the stress diffusion part on one side of the crack damage element. xm :

[0176]

[0177] The stiffness K of this part is calculated using the beam segment series stiffness calculation method. x :

[0178]

[0179] By connecting the four parts in series, the equivalent linear stiffness K of the element containing the crack stress diffusion angle is obtained. dSDA :

[0180]

[0181] The method of using the equivalent crack element linear stiffness, i.e., K d =K dSDA The crack stress diffusion angle α of the equivalent damage to the rectangular beam can be obtained, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0182]

[0183] Where h is the height of the rectangular beam section, h cr Where I is the crack height, and I0 is the moment of inertia of the rectangular beam section. b is the width of the rectangular beam section, N is the number of beam segments in the stress diffusion section, and I 0dm Let m be the moment of inertia corresponding to the rectangular beam section of segment m. h 0m The height of the m-th beam segment section; ζ is the relative height of the crack, ζ = h cr / h, The spring stiffness parameter for the crack is added and calculated according to formula (13).

[0184] Calculate the fitting formula for α according to the pure bending stress intensity factor calculation formula provided in the stress intensity factor manual. According to the stress intensity factor manual, equation (13) is applicable to the damage situation where ζ = h cr / h ≤ 0.6. Use the data of ζ = h cr / h ≤ 0.6 to fit the calculation formula for α. The fitting curve graph is as Figure 7 , where R 2 is the goodness of fit, and its value range is (0, 1). The closer R 2 is to 1, the better the fitting effect. The calculation formula for the relative relationship between the crack stress diffusion angle α and ζ is as follows:

[0185] α(ζ) = 74.5 - 28.895ζ (19)

[0186] II. Damage degree of crack T-beam element by stress diffusion angle method

[0187] 1) Simplified diagram of T-beam crack damage

[0188] The theoretical derivation takes the simplified model of a standard T-beam as an example, and the schematic diagram is as Figure 8 . The single transverse crack of the T-beam is divided into two types: the transverse crack of the top plate and the transverse crack of the web. The schematic diagram is as Figures 9-12 . In the figure, X n , X n+1 is the measurement point position number, h is the total beam height, h1 is the web height, h2 is the top plate height, b1 is the web width, b2 is the top plate width, h cr is the crack depth, and δl is the length of the measurement point unit; the shaded area in the figure is the part with crack damage. Only consider the web crack with a height less than the web height, that is, h cr <h1; only consider the top plate crack with a height less than the top plate height, that is, h cr <h2.

[0189] 2) Transverse crack of the web

[0190] The derivation of the calculation method for the damage degree of the web crack (web crack of T-beam) unit takes a web crack as an example. The model schematic diagram is Figure 13 .

[0254] 1) Correction of the formula for calculating the damage degree of transverse crack elements in the web

[0255] For the crack height h in equation (39) cr The damage assessment calculation was revised and optimized. First, multiple finite element models of cracked T-beams were created using Ansys to obtain multiple sets of damage assessment data. The T-beam models are shown below. Figure 19 As shown. The span is 500mm, with each element divided into 50mm sections, for a total of 10 elements and 11 nodes (the numbers in the top row of the model are the element numbers, and the numbers in the bottom row are the node numbers). The material's elastic modulus is 2.06 × 10⁻⁶. 5 MPa, density 7.9 g / cm³ 3 Poisson's ratio is 0.25; measuring point length δl = 50. The basic sample diagram of the damage model is as follows: Figure 20 , Figure 21 Ansys was used for modeling, and Solid186 was selected for calculation. The web crack modeling diagram is shown below. Figure 22 .

[0256] Model actual damage level D e0 The deflection curvature damage identification theory (54) is used for quantitative analysis. The deflection curvature damage identification theory for beam structures is a damage identification method based on the difference in deflection curvature before and after damage at each node of the beam structure, enabling damage localization and quantification. The deflection curvatures of node n before and after damage are as follows:

[0257]

[0258]

[0259] In the formula w n w represents the deflection at node n. n "" represents the curvature of node n, and the subscripts 'u' and 'd' represent the undamaged state and the damaged state, respectively.

[0262] The damage level data quantified by equation (54) is used as the theoretical damage level D. e0 Write an optimization function to calculate D using formula (39). eT-wc The correction was performed to obtain the corrected crack height H. cr Substituting into the original formula, the corrected form for the crack height is as follows:

[0263]

[0264] The correction function for web crack damage in T-beams is as follows: The corrected formula for calculating web crack damage in T-beams is:

[0266] In the formula, the subscript o denotes optimization, stress diffusion angle α, and moment of inertia I of the damaged section. wm still using h cr , ζ=h cr / h, h=h1+h2 are used for calculation. D e0 With D eT-wco The minimum sum of squared errors f is used as the criterion for evaluating the quality of the fitting correction method. f is calculated by equation (57).

The two-factor correction function is obtained through optimal fitting based on the two-factor correction results. The calculation formulas are divided into product type and exponential type, and the function is obtained by optimization fitting. See Tables 5 and 6.

[0319]

[0320]

[0321] To make the degree of unit damage D e To achieve high calculation accuracy, δl / h≥1 must be satisfied, and the number of measuring points must be no less than 4. Generally, equally spaced measuring points can be used.

[0322] The number of beam segments N on one side of the stress diffusion section shall not be less than 100.

[0323] Example 1: Calculation of web cracks in T-beams

[0324] T-beam model as follows Figure 19 Damage analysis was performed on the models in Tables 1 to 4. Since the beam segment on one side of the stress diffusion area needs to be divided into N segments for analysis, N = 200 was chosen in the example. Furthermore, due to the numerous working conditions, a programming method was used for calculation. The uncorrected D was obtained. eT-wc D eT-wco D of the rectangular beam er-c and the use of cross-sectional moment of inertia damage (I cr / I) 1 / 3 Convert the relative height of the crack ζ = h cr / h Substituted into equation (11) to calculate D er-ci Error plot with respect to sample damage level, such as Figures 26-29 .

[0325] A comparison of the four figures shows that D calculated directly using the crack stress diffusion method... eT-wc The relative error between the model sample damage degree and the actual damage degree is less than 6%, and the calculation effect is better than that of the rectangular beam formula; the crack stress diffusion element damage degree calculation formula after three-factor correction calculates D eT-wco The error between the damage degree and the sample damage degree is less than 2%, and the calculation effect after correction is very good; while the D obtained by using the damage degree calculation formula of rectangular beam crack element is much better. er-c and D er-ci The relative error with the sample is large, resulting in poor calculation performance.

[0326] Example 2: Case Study of Cracks in the Top Slab of a T-Beam

Therefore, it is necessary to revise the formula. The revised formula for calculating the damage level of the crack element in the T-beam top plate under the crack stress propagation mode yields a higher D. eT-fco The error between the measured damage level and the sample damage level is mostly less than 5%, which is a significant improvement over the calculation results before correction; while the D obtained by using the rectangular beam crack element damage level calculation formula is much better. er-c and D er-ci The relative error with the sample is large, resulting in poor computational performance.
