Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of fatigue performance evaluation, and in particular relates to a fatigue reliability evaluation method and system based on a numerical analysis adjustment coefficient. Background Art

[0002] A key step in fatigue analysis of engineering structures is determining the fatigue stress spectrum. The stress history obtained from field tests can effectively assess the reliability of fatigue details. However, this method can only be used to test completed structures, i.e., with specific structural parameters, and cannot assess fatigue reliability under designs with other structural parameters.

[0003] Although the analysis of structural parameters can be assisted by numerical analysis or model tests, it is difficult to obtain the stress history under operational traffic conditions. Only force analysis or fatigue assessment based on deterministic methods can be carried out, but fatigue reliability assessment cannot be performed.

[0004] In recent years, some scholars have proposed using random sampling methods to extract load spectra, and then combining them with numerical analysis to obtain stress history. Although this method can carry out fatigue reliability assessment under different structural parameters, its stress data cannot objectively reflect the effects of operational traffic flow. At the same time, the load spectrum type also has limitations. A load spectrum that may be suitable for a certain project may not be used for another project. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] In one example, in order to improve the evaluation efficiency of the fatigue reliability of engineering structures, the fatigue reliability evaluation method based on numerical analysis adjustment coefficient proposed in the present invention mainly proposes a method for obtaining the stress history of fatigue details with different structural parameters under operating conditions. Based on the stress history of fatigue details under specific structural parameters obtained by existing field measurements, numerical analysis is carried out to obtain the stress response adjustment coefficients of fatigue details with different structural parameters, and the field-measured stress history of fatigue details under the structural parameters to be studied is calculated. According to the stress history, the load spectrum is extracted, the fatigue reliability index is calculated, and the numerical model is corrected accordingly.

[0033] The method can evaluate fatigue reliability under various structural parameters, improving the reliability and efficiency of engineering design. The invention has important guiding significance for the structural design of bridge engineering, industrial plant, shipbuilding engineering, mechanical engineering and other projects.

[0034] Specifically, the fatigue reliability assessment method based on numerical analysis adjustment coefficient includes the following implementation steps:

[0035] S1: Obtain the measured stress spectra of at least test point 1 and test point 2.

[0036] Specifically, two strain test points are selected at the fatigue details of the engineering structure and named as test point 1 and test point 2. It should be noted that test point 1 and test point 2 should represent key stress points that may appear on the engineering structure, such as connectors, cantilevered parts or other stress concentration areas. Strain measuring instruments are used to perform stress tests on test points 1 and test points 2, and real-time data collection is performed to record the strain time history of test points 1 and test points 2 under the action of structural operating loads. Data processing, including data smoothing, noise removal and other operations, is performed to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data.

[0037] It can be understood that the rain flow counting method is used to convert complex stress or strain time history data into equivalent stress or strain cycle numbers, which is convenient for fatigue life prediction and reliability analysis. The rain flow counting method is usually used to deal with the complex load history of actual engineering structures, making it applicable to the standard method of fatigue life prediction.

[0038] The measured stress time history data are converted into corresponding stress cycle sequences using the rainflow counting method. The amplitude range and number of each cycle are identified and recorded, and a stress spectrum is established, which includes the number of cycles and amplitude range at each stress level.

[0039] S2: Analyze the fatigue reliability of test points 1 and 2.

[0040] Specifically, based on the measured stress spectra of test points 1 and 2, as well as the material properties and geometric parameters of the engineering structure, a fatigue limit state equation is established. This equation is used to describe the boundary state of failure of the engineering structure under fatigue load.

[0041] Using the probabilistic unified method, the effects of test points 1 and 2 at different service times are calculated based on the measured stress spectra and loading frequencies of test points 1 and 2 to understand the fatigue load effects borne by the structure at different working times, calculate the corresponding fatigue resistance, and determine the probabilistic statistical information of the effects and fatigue resistance based on reliability theory. The relationship curve of the fatigue reliability index of test points 1 and 2 as the service time of the engineering structure is plotted to understand the changing trend of the fatigue reliability of the engineering structure over time.

[0042] S3: Calculate the stress response adjustment coefficients of test point 1 and test point 2.

[0043] Specifically, a numerical model of the structure is established based on the actual engineering structure and known load conditions.

[0044] The positions of test points 1 and 2 are specified in the numerical model, and the corresponding stress analysis is performed. The stress response data of test points 1 and 2 under the same load are extracted and recorded as σ1 and σ2 respectively. The stress response adjustment coefficient k0 of test point 2 relative to test point 1 is calculated. The stress response adjustment coefficient k0 is expressed as: k0 = σ2 / σ1, which is used to quantify the stress response difference between test points 1 and 2.

[0045] S4: Obtain the stress spectrum of test point 2 based on the numerical analysis adjustment coefficient.

[0046] Specifically, test point 1 is selected as the reference point, and according to the previously calculated stress corresponding adjustment coefficient k0, the measured stress history of test point 1 is multiplied by the proportional factor k0 to obtain the converted stress history of test point 2. The converted stress history of test point 2 is named numerical analysis point 2, and the conversion and comparative analysis of the stress history data from test point 1 to test point 2 are realized. The converted stress history data of test point 2 are processed by the rain flow counting method, which helps to convert complex stress history data into equivalent fatigue cycles.

[0047] Based on the data processed by the rain flow counting method, the stress spectrum of the numerical analysis point 2 is generated, which reflects the stress change of the test point 2 under actual working conditions.

[0048] S5: Check and modify the numerical model.

[0049] Specifically, based on the stress spectrum data of numerical analysis point 2 obtained previously, the fatigue reliability index curve under the stress spectrum of numerical analysis point 2 is drawn. The stress spectrum data of numerical analysis point 2 is used, combined with the fatigue life prediction method and the reliability analysis model, to calculate the fatigue reliability index of numerical analysis point 2. The fatigue reliability index curve of numerical analysis point 2 is compared with the fatigue reliability index curve of test point 2, and the reliability change trends of the two under the same working conditions are compared, and the difference in structural fatigue performance represented by the difference is analyzed.

[0050] Based on the importance and safety requirements of the engineering structure, the target reliability index is determined. It is conceivable that the reliability index that meets the actual needs of the project is specified considering the special properties and practical environment of the engineering structure.

[0051] Based on the measured fatigue life L2 and numerical analysis fatigue life Calculate the fatigue life error e between the two. The expression of fatigue life error e is: Based on the calculated fatigue life error e, the numerical model is modified so that its fatigue life prediction error e is lower than the acceptable value of 5% for engineering applications. The parameters and assumptions of the numerical model are adjusted to reduce the error of fatigue life prediction and improve the accuracy and reliability of the model.

[0052] Verify whether the revised numerical model meets the reliability requirements of engineering applications, and analyze the difference between the revised fatigue life prediction results and the measured fatigue life.

[0053] S6: Calculate the adjustment coefficient of fatigue details under the structural parameters to be studied.

[0054] Specifically, according to the different value ranges of the structural parameters to be studied, the corresponding fatigue detail parameters are set, such as material strength, structural geometry, loading frequency, etc.

[0055] Using the revised numerical model, the stress response analysis of fatigue details under the structural parameters to be studied is carried out to obtain new stress history data. Based on the new stress history data, the corresponding adjustment coefficients are calculated. These adjustment coefficients will reflect the degree of influence of different structural parameters on the stress response.

[0056] Based on the revised numerical model and the obtained adjustment coefficient, they were applied to the previous S4 to obtain the corresponding adjusted stress time history data. The adjusted stress time history data were processed by the rain flow counting method to obtain the corresponding stress spectrum.

[0057] S7: Analyze the fatigue reliability of fatigue details under the structural parameters to be studied.

[0058] Specifically, based on the adjustment coefficient obtained in the numerical analysis, the stress spectrum data of the test point 2 is obtained, and the stress spectrum of the test point 2 is calculated and extracted using the adjusted numerical analysis results.

[0059] According to the fatigue limit state equation established previously, the stress spectrum data of test point 2 is substituted into the equation for analysis. Based on the fatigue limit state equation, the fatigue performance of the structure under actual working conditions is evaluated and the fatigue life is predicted.

[0060] Based on the results of applying the fatigue limit state equation, the fatigue reliability index of test point 2 is solved using the corresponding reliability analysis method.

[0061] According to the solution of fatigue reliability index, the fatigue life of test point 2 under actual working conditions is predicted.

[0062] This example examines an orthotropic steel bridge structure, conducting an on-site strain test of the notch details under actual traffic loads. Two test points, designated as test points 1-12 and 2-12, correspond to 10 mm and 12 mm thick diaphragms, respectively.

[0063] The stress history of test points 1-12 and test points 2-12 is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, they are recorded as test points 1-12 and test points 2-12 respectively. A refined finite element analysis model is established through ANSYS. The stress cloud diagrams of test points 1-12 and test points 2-12 are obtained by numerical analysis as shown below. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, the nominal stresses used for fatigue assessment under load are 70.1 MPa and 63.3 MPa respectively (6 mm away from the stress concentration point of the structural details).

[0064] Furthermore, taking the test point 1-12 as the benchmark, the adjustment coefficient k0=0.90, and multiplying the measured stress time history of the test point 1-12 by the adjustment coefficient k0, the stress time history of the test point 2-12 after numerical analysis conversion can be obtained, which is recorded as the numerical analysis point 2-12, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the stress spectrum can be obtained by using the rain flow counting method.

[0065] By conducting fatigue reliability analysis based on reliability theory, the fatigue reliability indicators under the above three stress time histories can be obtained. Figure 7 The relationship between the fatigue reliability index of test points 1-12, test points 2-12 and numerical analysis points 2-12 and service time is given.

[0066] Furthermore, according to the importance of the project, the fatigue reliability index is taken as 3.72, and the failure probability is 10 -4 It can be seen that compared with the fatigue evaluation life of test point 2-12, the fatigue life error of numerical analysis point 2-12 is 3.75%, which is less than 5% and meets the requirements.

[0067] It should be pointed out that if the fatigue life prediction error is greater than 5%, the finite element model needs to be adjusted, such as the mesh unit size, load application method, and boundary conditions, until the fatigue life prediction error is finally reduced to less than 5%. The numerical model is accurate enough to meet the requirements of engineering applications.

[0068] It is conceivable that in this example, the numerical analysis model can be used to further solve the stress response under other structural details or different structural parameters, obtain the adjustment coefficient, extract the stress spectrum, calculate the fatigue reliability index, and predict the fatigue life.

[0069] In summary, the technical solution proposed in this invention can efficiently perform fatigue reliability analysis of structural parameters by deriving adjustment coefficients based on numerical analysis and combining them with field measurements. In reliability analysis of engineering structures, numerical analysis can be used to determine various effects such as internal forces, deformations, and stresses. The proposed method can be used to conduct reliability assessments under different structural parameters, improving the efficiency of fatigue reliability assessments and saving costs.
