[0031] The technical solution of the method for determining the breakage safety high-cycle fatigue life of the stacked metal torsion strip provided by the present invention is explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 The present invention proposes a method for determining the damage safety high cycle fatigue life of a laminated metal torsion strip, comprising the following steps:

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determining the damage safety high cycle fatigue life of a laminated metal torsion strip, comprising:

[0039] S1. Determination of torsional stiffness of the tension and torsion strip before the test. Before the fatigue test, the torsional stiffness of the tension and torsion strip with a complete structure is first measured. The measurement method is: apply the centrifugal static load required by the test to the fatigue test piece, and then calibrate the torsion angle step by step according to 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 degrees (and so on), determine the relationship between torque and torsion angle, and thus obtain the torsional stiffness E1 of the tension and torsion strip.

[0040] S2. Fatigue test of the tension-torsion strip with complete structure. The tension-torsion strip test piece with complete structure is installed on the test bench to simulate the actual installation state, and the centrifugal static load Fc and the first initial alternating torsion angle θ are applied to the tension-torsion strip. If the tension-torsion strip is not damaged after every 500,000 load cycles, the alternating torsion angle is increased by 3° and the test is continued until the tension-torsion strip breaks, and the test is stopped.

[0041] S3. Determination of torsional stiffness after failure of some of the torsion strips. Determination of torsional stiffness of the torsion strips after the torsion strips are broken is performed according to the method in step S1, and the torsional stiffness E at this time is recorded.

[0042] S4, fatigue test of the torsion bar after some torsion plates fail. The torsion bar test piece after some torsion plates fail is installed on the test bench to simulate the actual installation state, and the centrifugal static load Fc and the second initial alternating torsion angle θ are applied to the torsion bar according to the method in step S2.

[0043] S5. Torsional stiffness measurement during the test. After every 500,000 load cycles, the torsional stiffness of the tension and torsion strip test piece is measured, and the torsional stiffness value E' is recorded each time. When (EE') / E>10%, the test is stopped and the number of tests is recorded. Otherwise, the alternating torsion angle is increased by 3° and the test is continued until the test stop condition is met.

[0044] S6. Calculation of fatigue performance of torsion strips. According to the fatigue test of torsion strips after some torsion strips fail, the alternating torsion angles θ at different levels are calculated. i (i=1,2,3……) and the number of load cycles n experienced by the corresponding torsion angle i (i=1,2,3……) Calculate fatigue performance S ∞ .

[0045] S7, fatigue performance reduction of the torsion bar. According to the number of test pieces, a certain confidence level γ and survival rate p are used to take the fatigue strength reduction factor Jp, and the calculated fatigue performance in S6 is reduced to obtain the safety fatigue limit S of the torsion bar. ∞ ', the formula is as follows:

[0046] S ∞ ' = S ∞ / Jp

[0047] S8, damage safety high cycle fatigue life calculation. According to the load spectrum calculated by the tension and torsion bar or the measured load spectrum, combined with the safety fatigue limit S obtained in S7 ∞ ', the safe high-cycle fatigue life of the tension-torsion strip can be obtained.

[0048] For example, a plurality of torsion strips are usually provided on the same helicopter. For a damaged torsion strip, only one of them needs to be selected and the method provided by the present invention is adopted to obtain the damage safe high-cycle fatigue life, which can be used as the damage safe high-cycle fatigue life of the torsion strip of the same helicopter / helicopter of the same model / with the same service time / and the same degree of damage.
