Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of stress analysis in the branch of elasticity in solid mechanics, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for analyzing thermo-mechanical coupling effects based on elastic connection. Background Art

[0002] Temperature changes can cause deformation. A thermal environment with alternating high and low temperatures will cause thermal deformation and thermal stress in mechanical components, thereby introducing mechanical vibration.

[0003] As Figure 1 shown, if the temperature changes at each point in the object are uniform and both ends are free, its deformation is not restricted, that is, it can expand or contract freely, and only thermal deformation exists inside the object, and no thermal stress is generated on both end faces. As Figure 2 shown, if the expansion of the object is restricted, that is, the end faces are restricted. At this time, the deformation of the object due to heat expansion or cooling contraction is restricted, the object does not undergo thermal deformation, and thermal stress exists on both end faces of the object. The above are two extreme cases. In actual situations, the end faces of the object are connected to the outside. There is no corresponding technology publicly available on how to calculate the influence of the object's temperature effect on the outside, especially the thermo-mechanical coupling effect. For the above reasons, when designing and using mechanical structures, it is necessary to consider the temperature differences caused by factors such as thermal control and heat conduction, and take corresponding measures to control the temperature and reduce the deformation and vibration of the corresponding structures.

[0047] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, the present invention provides an analysis method for thermo-mechanical coupling effect based on elastic connection, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0049] Step 1: According to the measured environmental temperature T, obtain the boundary conditions of the heat balance equation for the elastic body constraint model at one end of the object:

[0050]

[0051] where C is the thermal conductivity; ρ is the material density; t is the time;

[0052] Step 2: Through the boundary conditions of the heat balance equation for the elastic body constraint model at one end of the object, obtain the dynamic temperature field in other regions of the model; more specifically:

[0053] The heat exchange between the elastic body and its surrounding medium satisfies Newton's cooling law;

[0054]

[0055] where λ is the thermal conductivity; β is the heat exchange coefficient; T(x, y, z, t) is the temperature inside the object; T a is the temperature of the surrounding environmental medium; n is the temperature gradient direction vector;

[0056] There is no heat exchange on the surface of the elastic body, that is, the surface temperature of the object is the surface temperature of the contact body and is a function of time t;

[0057] T(x, y, z, t)| s = T s (t)

[0058] where T s (t) is the surface temperature of the object;

[0059] The heat balance on the surface of the elastic body, that is, the heat flux density at any point is equal to the product of the thermal conductivity and the temperature gradient at that point;

[0060]

[0061] where w is the heat work exchanged with the outside world, that is, the normal heat flux at any point on the surface of the object is equal to the exchange of work at this point with the outside world;

[0062] Step 3: Solve the stress field at each part in the elastic body constraint model at one end of the object according to each temperature field;

[0063] Step 4: According to the stress field at each part in the elastic body constraint model at one end of the object, and combining the thermal stress model and the elastic body model, obtain the kinematic equations of each part of the mechanical structure, and then analyze the thermo-mechanical coupling effect.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the constraint at one end of the object is regarded as an elastic body, and the dynamic and thermodynamic equations are coupled;

[0065] by Figure 4 Based on the assumption that one end of the object shown is an elastic body constraint model, the stress distribution of thermal stress in each part of the mechanical structure is determined. Combined with the analysis of the elastic body model, the kinematic equations of each part of the mechanical structure can be obtained;

[0066] (-ω 2 M+K)x=0

[0067] Among them, ω is the vibration frequency; M is the mass matrix of the mechanical structure; K is the stiffness matrix of the mechanical structure; x is the displacement of the non-fixed free end of the mechanical structure.

[0068] σ=E(ε-ε T )

[0069] Among them, σ is the normal stress; ε is the original strain of the material; ε T is the normal strain of the material at temperature T;

[0070] In the above equations, since the deformation displacement of the object includes the thermal deformation of the object, and the resultant force includes temperature stress, that is, the thermodynamic conduction equation includes related kinematic variables such as the thermal deformation and vibration of the object, and the dynamic equation includes thermodynamic parameters such as the temperature at various locations of the object, it is necessary to solve the equations simultaneously, which constitutes a complete system equation of thermal-mechanical coupling effect.

[0078] Where C is the thermal conductivity; ρ is the material density; t is the time; T is the measured temperature.

[0079] Further preferably, the dynamic temperature field equation is:

[0080]

[0081] Where λ is the thermal conductivity; β is the heat exchange coefficient; T(x, y, z, t) is the temperature inside the object; T a is the temperature of the surrounding environmental medium; n is the temperature gradient direction vector; formula (1) indicates that the heat exchange between the elastic body and its surrounding medium satisfies Newton's cooling law;

[0082] T(x, y, z, t)| s = T s (t) (2)

[0083] Where T s (t) is the surface temperature of the object; formula (2) indicates that there is no heat exchange on the surface of the elastic body;

[0084]

[0085] Where w is the heat work exchanged with the outside; formula (3) indicates the heat balance on the surface of the elastic body.

[0086] Further preferably, the dynamic method of the mechanical structure is:

[0087] (-ω 2 M + K)x = 0

[0088] Where ω is the vibration frequency; M is the mass matrix of the mechanical structure; K is the stiffness matrix of the mechanical structure; x is the displacement of the non-fixed free end of the mechanical structure.
