Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of uniaxial mechanical property testing of materials, and particularly to a spherical indenter penetration testing method for uniaxial mechanical properties under adaptive working conditions. Background Art

[0002] Conventional uniaxial mechanical property testing methods (such as uniaxial tensile testing, uniaxial compressive testing, and uniaxial shear testing) all require large-volume destructive sampling and cannot be applied to in-service equipment and occasions where the volume of the test material is limited (such as welded joints). As a mechanical property testing method that requires no sampling and is almost non-destructive, spherical indenter penetration testing can be used as an alternative to conventional uniaxial mechanical property testing.

[0003] In 1997, T. Byun et al. published a paper titled "Measurement of through-the-thickness variations of mechanical properties in SA508Gr.3 pressure vessel steels using ball indentation test technique" in the 3rd issue of the journal International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, proposing a uniaxial stress-uniaxial strain indentation prediction method based on empirical formulas.

[0004] In 2010, J. Lee et al. published a paper titled "A study on robust indentation techniques to evaluate elastic–plastic properties of metals" in the 47th issue of the journal International Journal of Solids and Structures, proposing to conduct a systematic finite element analysis for power-law hardening materials, thereby establishing a phenomenological correlation between indentation load-indentation displacement and uniaxial stress-uniaxial strain.

[0005] In 2019, H. Chen et al. published a paper titled "Equivalent-energy indentation method to predict the tensile properties of light alloys" in Volume 162 of the journal Materials and Design, proposing a method that combines the analytical derivation based on the dilatant cavity model with finite element calibration to establish the relationship between the indentation load-indentation displacement and the power hardening material parameters.

[0006] In the prior art, usually a single indentation characteristic parameter (such as the indentation load-displacement curve, the radius of the indentation plastic zone, etc.) and test methods (such as monotonic loading method, multiple loading-unloading method) are adopted in an attempt to establish a correlation with the mechanical property parameters of the material to be tested, which cannot cope with the changing actual test conditions. The key to accurately inversing the uniaxial mechanical properties of the material to be tested through spherical indenter indentation testing lies in obtaining a sufficient number of indentation characteristic parameters. Usually, adopting the multiple loading-unloading method and obtaining as many indentation characteristic parameters as possible helps to improve the inversion accuracy of the uniaxial mechanical properties. However, when the flexibility of the indentation detection system increases due to the change of the clamping method, or when the surface strain distribution of the indentation specimen cannot be measured due to test condition limitations, the existing indentation detection methods cannot meet the relatively complex and changeable on-site indentation detection requirements.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to design a spherical indenter indentation detection method for uniaxial mechanical properties that can be applied to different working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a spherical indenter indentation detection method for uniaxial mechanical properties under adaptive working conditions in view of the defects of the existing spherical indenter indentation test method for uniaxial mechanical properties being restricted by the acquisition of indentation characteristic parameters and test methods.

Among them, the Young's modulus E in formula (6) is replaced by the Young's modulus E0 = 211.89 GPa of SA508 steel calculated by formula (1).
