[0044] The present application is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0045] An embodiment of the present application provides a D-shaped beam composite blade root section fatigue test method, which includes test piece patching and calibration, determination of test load, determination of test requirements, test implementation, test error analysis, and test effectiveness determination. Figure 1 The method specifically includes the following steps:
[0046] Step 1: Patching and calibration of the D-shaped beam blade root section test piece. Specifically includes:
[0047] 11. Patching is performed on multiple cross sections near the bushing hole of the test piece to obtain the flap bending moment and the vibration bending moment of the cross section at the center of the bushing hole. For example, as shown in the figure, patching is performed on the A, B, and C cross sections at the right end of the bushing hole, and patching is performed on the D cross section at the left end of the bushing hole. One set of flap strain gauges and one set of vibration strain gauges are used for each cross section. The flap bending moment and the vibration bending moment obtained by the flap strain gauges and the vibration strain gauges are interpolated and calculated to obtain the flap bending moment and the vibration bending moment of the cross section at the center of the bushing hole. Figure 2 12. Flap bending moment load calibration and vibration bending moment load calibration are performed on each cross section (A, B, C, and D cross sections) of the test piece. The calibration is performed using the overall calibration method. During calibration, the test piece root support joint is installed on a special calibration table. The standard load is applied to the test piece process joint end through the actuator. The influence of the blade weight is eliminated by vertically placing the test piece and clearing the zero point. The calibration is repeated three times. After calibration, the calibration results of each cross section are linearly verified to meet the fatigue test requirements.
[0048] Step 2: Determine the static load and dynamic load of the fatigue test.

[0053] The first condition is: the compressive load P of the bushing hole at the blade root under the test static load. S试验 The compressive load P generated by the theoretical calculation load S理论 1.1 times, that is, P S试验 =1.1Ps 理论 The compressive load P at the blade root bushing hole under static load was tested. S试验 Determined based on the magnitude of the fatigue test load parameters;
[0054] The second condition is: fatigue performance. P∞ Meets blade life requirements. Fatigue performance. P∞ Based on the compressive load P at the blade root bushing hole under experimental dynamic load. d试验 The calculated compressive load P at the blade root bushing hole under the experimental dynamic load was obtained. d试验 The fatigue performance is calculated based on the magnitude of the fatigue test load parameters.

[0061] 34. Perform fatigue test loading: if the test piece does not appear cracks, delamination, opening or dynamic load drop more than 10%, etc. after 500,000 cycles of the test, the test static load remains unchanged, the dynamic load increases by 10% to 20%, and the next level of load test is performed; if the stiffness of the test piece decreases by more than 10% during the current test, the original test load needs to be restored, and the test continues; until the test termination condition is reached: the test piece appears serious damage, or the test dynamic load drops more than 10% and the load cannot be restored.
