Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aero-engine structural strength technology, specifically to a method for analyzing creep deformation of metallic materials considering complex temperature fields. Background Technology
[0002] In engineering, creep deformation cannot be ignored when the absolute temperature exceeds half the melting point. In aero-engine gas turbines, many components, such as the turbine disk and turbine blades, operate at high temperatures and are prone to creep deformation. Taking the turbine disk rim as an example, excessive creep can cause blades to rub against the casing, affect disk / blade assembly, and even lead to disk tenon fracture. This problem becomes even more pronounced as turbine inlet temperatures increase further. Therefore, aero-engine design must analyze the creep of hot-end components and provide corresponding criteria to ensure operational safety throughout the engine's lifespan.
[0003] Commercial software integrates various creep models, and some finite element software has a relatively rich variety of creep models. However, the creep models in commercial software can only calculate and analyze the creep deformation in the first two stages, and cannot characterize the third stage of creep deformation. Furthermore, they are difficult to use in the case of a wide range of temperature fields under real engine operating conditions.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a creep analysis method that can be used over a wide temperature range to analyze the creep deformation of hot-end components of aero-engines under real operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In the above-described method for analyzing the creep deformation of metallic materials considering complex temperature fields, the first parameter optionally includes the initial creep rate and the steady-state creep rate.

[0044] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0045] In existing technologies, models are typically classified according to their ability to describe creep deformation curves.
[0046] (1) For the first stage of creep, there are several basic model forms that describe the hardening behavior in which the creep rate gradually decreases over time:
[0047] 1) Time-hardening model form:
[0048] ε=βt α (1)
[0049] 2) Strain hardening model form
[0050] ε=βε α t (2)
[0051] 3) Exponential model form
[0052] ε=β(1-e -αt (3)
[0053] 4) Logarithmic model form
[0054] ε=βln(αt+1) (4)
[0055] Where β and α are model constants, ε is creep deformation, and t is time.
[0056] (2) For the second stage of creep, most tests show that the steady-state creep strain rate at a given temperature is related to stress:
[0057]
[0058]
[0059] Where A and n are constants related to material properties and temperature, and σ is stress.
[0060] (3) For the third stage of creep, there are usually two model forms to represent it: one is to introduce the damage formula into the creep model, such as the Kachanov-Rabotnov damage model; the other is an exponential formula, such as the second formula in the θ parameter method.
[0061]
[0062] The models listed in commercial software can all be seen as evolutions of the above basic model forms.
[0063] In engineering, since components are usually exposed to complex temperature fields, the above model establishes a relationship with temperature in the form of apparent activation energy:
[0064]
[0065] Where Q, R, and T represent the apparent activation energy, the gas state constant, and the absolute temperature, respectively. However, the above model cannot achieve good creep deformation calculation accuracy over a wide range of temperature and stress conditions.
[0066] To calculate the creep deformation of components under temperature conditions using the above model, linear interpolation of temperature is typically used to solve for the creep model parameters. However, because the model parameter values obtained by fitting creep test data at typical temperature points may differ by a large order of magnitude, the interpolated model may not converge in the creep finite element calculation, resulting in ineffective creep deformation calculation results. Therefore, for creep calculation problems caused by temperature fields, stress and temperature are also used as control factors, and the formula is constructed using parameter fitting to establish the influence of creep deformation on temperature. A common fitting formula is:
[0067] parameter=a+bσ+cT+dσT (9)
[0068] The above formula actually assumes that the creep model parameters are linearly related to stress at the same temperature. This assumption is not appropriate for a wider temperature and stress range or for certain materials, and may lead to deviations in creep calculations.
[0069] Therefore, the present invention proposes the following embodiments.
[0070] Example 1
[0071] For a typical three-stage creep curve, the creep initiation stage has a relatively high initial creep rate. During the first stage of creep, its creep rate Gradually decrease until at the first transition time t of creep. P / S Reduce to steady-state creep rate In the second stage, the creep rate will continue to be maintained, and then at the second creep transition time t S / T The creep rate will gradually increase until it fractures and fails.
[0072] This embodiment provides a three-stage creep deformation analysis and calculation method for hot-end components of an aero-engine under complex temperature field conditions. The overall scheme is as follows:
[0073] This study addresses the first, second, and third stages of creep deformation; the first stage is the initial stage, and the second stage is the steady-state stage. Model formulas are established to simulate the initial stage where the deformation rate gradually decreases over time, the steady-state stage where the creep rate remains constant, and the third stage where the creep rate gradually increases. Corresponding models are established to characterize the duration of each creep stage, and the total creep deformation is obtained by summing the creep deformation of each stage. The relationships between the creep model formula parameters and temperature and stress for each stage are established in the form of apparent activation energy to characterize the influence of the temperature field.
[0074] The specific technical solution of this method is as follows:
[0075] (1) Segmented characterization of creep deformation curve
[0076] 1) For the first stage of creep, the deformation is characterized using a logarithmic time model, i.e.:
[0077] ε P =βln(αt+1) t≤t P / S (10)
[0078]
[0079] At time t=0, the initial creep rate The value of is equal to αβ; where, where, ε P The creep deformation represents the first stage, and β and α are the model parameters for the first stage. Let t be the creep rate, and t be the time. P / S This is the first transition moment.
[0080] 2) During the steady-state creep stage, the creep rate remains constant, and the total creep deformation is:
[0081]
[0082] Where, ε S ε represents the creep deformation that has occurred at the current moment when the second stage is in progress. P / S This refers to the creep deformation that occurs in the first stage. Let t be the steady-state creep rate, and t be time. P / S For the first transition time, t S / T This is the second transition moment.
[0083] 3) For the third stage of creep, the creep deformation in this stage is characterized by an exponential function of time.
[0084] ε T =θ(exp[ω(tt) S / T )]-1) t>t S / T (13)
[0085] At t=t S / T At any given moment, the steady-state creep rate and the initial creep rate in the third stage must satisfy the continuity condition, which yields: Therefore, the creep rate in the third stage is:
[0086]
[0087] Where, ε T The creep deformation occurs at the current moment in the third stage, where θ and ω are both parameters of the third stage model; t is time. S / T This is the second transition time. The creep deformation rate of the third-stage model. The steady-state creep rate.
[0088] (2) Determination of the timing of creep stage transition
[0089] 1) The transition time t between the first and second stages of creep P / S for:
[0090]
[0091] Among them, t P / S This is the first transition moment. The initial creep rate, Let α be the steady-state creep rate, and α be the model parameter for the first stage.
[0092] 2) The second transition time t in the creep steady-state stage and the third stage S / T From the first transition time t P / S The duration of the second stage is obtained by superimposing the duration of the second stage, which can be obtained by fitting an nth-order polynomial with respect to the steady-state creep rate, depending on the material. In specific implementation, n is a positive integer not less than 3.
[0093] (3) Expression of the temperature-stress correlation of creep model parameters
[0094] For creep model parameters in the first stage of creep α; Creep rate in the second stage of creep And the model parameter ω for the third stage of creep, each parameter is expressed by a combination of formulas (16), and the corresponding expression relationship is selected according to the regular characteristics of the creep parameters of specific materials. For example, term a2 indicates that the temperature-corrected parameters have an exponential relationship with the stress after the elastic modulus is normalized; term a3 indicates that the temperature-corrected model parameters have a two-segment linear relationship with the stress after the elastic modulus is normalized; term a4 indicates that the temperature-corrected model parameters have a hyperbolic sine relationship with the stress after the elastic modulus is normalized.
[0095]
[0096] in, The initial creep rate, α is the steady-state creep rate, ω is the first-stage model parameter, a0 and a1 are both second parameters, T is the temperature, σ is the creep stress, E is the elastic modulus of the metallic material, a2, a3, a4 and a5 are all third parameters, and τ is the bilinear inflection point.
[0097] In summary, a complete creep curve has been established to express the creep load conditions that can be adapted to a wide range of temperature and stress fields.

In specific implementation, the first formula is formula (16); the second parameter includes the apparent energy parameter.
[0103] S3. Based on the first parameter, the second parameter, and the creep test curve, the third parameter of the first formula is obtained by fitting; specifically, the third parameter is the parameter of the first formula.
[0104] S4. Substitute the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter, first transition time, and second transition time back into the preset model to calculate creep deformation under arbitrary temperature and stress conditions. By substituting the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter, first transition time, and second transition time back into the preset model, the final model that can be used for calculation can be obtained, enabling the calculation of creep deformation under arbitrary temperature and stress conditions.
[0105] By following the steps above, the parameters of the preset model can be determined to obtain the final model that can be used to calculate creep deformation under arbitrary temperature and stress conditions.
