Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials science and engineering application technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus and related equipment for predicting fatigue crack propagation life of metallic materials. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering, on the one hand, typical welding processes often introduce residual stress into metallic materials; on the other hand, due to surface integrity requirements, surface strengthening is often applied to stress concentration areas or life-sensitive zones to improve fatigue life. Both welding and surface strengthening methods introduce residual stress, altering surface integrity characteristics such as material morphology and microstructure, thus affecting the fatigue performance of the wheel. Furthermore, due to the introduction of residual stress, traditional fatigue life prediction methods are no longer applicable. Currently, a commonly used method is to conduct extensive experiments and perform statistical analysis of fatigue life, providing a fatigue life prediction based on statistical theory. Alternatively, finite element simulation can be used to establish a life model for simple specimens, but this is limited to the research stage. The first method requires repeated experiments, and predicting life based on existing data has significant limitations if experimental conditions change. The second method, from the perspective of finite element models, requires simplification of complex situations, and before establishing a simulation model, the importance of simplification factors needs to be determined, requiring a more comprehensive and systematic analysis.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the method for predicting fatigue crack propagation life of metallic materials provided in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method for predicting the fatigue crack propagation life of this metallic material includes the following steps:

[0044] S10, determine the optimal residual stress distribution function of the metal material to be tested, and the coefficient values ​​of the optimal residual stress distribution function.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, considering the residual stress fields introduced by different processes and surface treatments, the residual stress distribution of the tested metallic material is analyzed to obtain its optimal residual stress distribution function. Specifically, a surface strengthening method can be introduced first, using either destructive methods (such as blind hole method) or non-destructive methods (such as X-ray diffraction, synchrotron radiation method) to characterize and measure the residual stress of the tested metallic material, and to give the best fitting function equation for the residual stress field, i.e., the optimal residual stress distribution function.

[0046] The residual stress field distribution of the tested metallic material is obtained through residual stress measurement methods (such as the blind hole method, X-ray diffraction, or synchrotron radiation method), and the optimal residual stress σ distribution function relationship is obtained. First, based on the form in which the residual stress is introduced, the obtained residual stress values ​​are substituted into several commonly used residual stress distribution functions for calculation, and the best-fit distribution is selected as the optimal residual stress distribution function:

[0047]

[0048] Formula (1) is applicable to the residual stress field generated by welding and is widely used in the calculation of residual stress distribution near the center weld of a finite width plate. Where σ is the nominal stress, i.e., the residual stress at x = 0; c is the half width of the residual stress zone, where the residual stress is zero at x = c; and C is a constant.

[0049]

[0050] Formula (2) is applicable to the residual stress field generated by surface strengthening, mainly considering the periodic residual stress distribution in an infinitely long plate. It usually takes into account the surface strengthening treatment at the welding or rivet locations of the long plate, where periodic collinear cracks exist in the residual stress field. Wherein, σ is the nominal stress, i.e., the residual stress at x = 0; W is the periodic repeating collinear crack interval of the infinitely long plate or the width of the finite-length plate; the value of n determines the wave number in W, and the optimal residual stress distribution function is obtained by adjusting its value.

[0051] In practical applications, the choice between using formula (1) or formula (2) above can be made based on the initially selected surface treatment method.

[0052] In the specific implementation process, step S10, "determining the optimal residual stress distribution function of the metal material to be tested, and the coefficient values ​​of the optimal residual stress distribution function," can be performed using the following steps:

[0053] Obtain the residual stress introduction method and the actual thickness of the metal material under test;

[0054] Multiple residual stress distribution functions are determined based on the method of introducing residual stress;

[0055] Multiple residual stress distribution functions were tested using residual stress test information that matched the actual thickness.

[0056] Based on the test results, the optimal residual stress distribution function is selected from multiple residual stress distribution functions, and the coefficient values ​​of the optimal residual stress distribution function are determined.

[0057] To facilitate understanding of this invention, the AA2024-T351 alloy is used as an example in the embodiments of this invention:

[0058] First, it is necessary to determine the method of introducing residual stress into the material, which is confirmed to be the deep surface rolling method. Then, based on the actual thickness of the AA2024-T351 alloy, residual stress test information (this residual stress test information is the residual stress test scheme) should be selected. For example, neutron diffraction method can be selected to measure the residual stress in the width and depth directions.

[0059] The optimal residual stress distribution function and its coefficient values ​​are determined from the three residual stress distribution functions shown in Table 1 below. (See also...) Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of three residual stress distribution curves provided in the embodiments of the present invention. It can represent the comparison of three residual stress distribution functions. The horizontal axis is the width of the plate, the gray rectangular bar is the surface treatment range, and the vertical axis is the residual stress distribution.

[0062] The three residual stress distribution functions were tested using the selected residual stress testing scheme. After comparing the test results of the three residual stress distribution functions, cos6πx was selected as the optimal residual stress distribution function, and σ0 = 125 and C = 75 were determined. The function's range of use is -40 to 40.

[0063] S20, based on the optimal residual stress distribution function and the coefficient value of the optimal residual stress distribution function, calculate the residual stress intensity factor of the metal material to be tested.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the optimal residual stress distribution function and its coefficient values, the residual stress intensity factor K of the metal material to be tested can be calculated using the following formula (3). I :

[0065]

[0066] Where a is the initial or pre-set crack length; σ(x) is the optimal residual stress distribution function; K I Let K be the residual stress intensity factor at x. Substituting equations (1) and (2) into equation (3) respectively, the residual stress intensity factor K is calculated by integration. res The following formulas (4) and (5) are respectively:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] In formula (5) above, J0 is an integer-order Bessel function with a value of 0, which can be calculated using programs such as Matlab. C is a constant.

[0070] To facilitate understanding of this invention, we will continue to use AA2024-T351 alloy as an example for illustration:

[0071] The residual stress intensity factor K is calculated according to the above formula (3). I When the optimal residual stress distribution function cos6πx is determined, it can be substituted into formula (3), and the residual stress intensity factor can be obtained after integration using K. resThis is represented as shown in the following formula (6):

[0072]

[0073] In formula (5) above, J0 is an integer-order Bessel function with a value of 0, which can be calculated using programs such as Matlab.
