[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve the technical effect of "being able to comprehensively consider factors such as the corrosion environment, loading sequence and load level to achieve the evaluation of cumulative damage", the steps and functions of a method for evaluating uniaxial fatigue cumulative damage under multi-stage loading in a corrosion environment are described in detail below;
[0029] The following takes the salt spray corrosion environment as an example and takes the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, a common material for automobile chassis components, as the research object to illustrate the specific implementation of the method of the present invention. The process of the patent method of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown;
[0030] First, according to the ASTM E466-15 fatigue test standard, the following Figure 2 The multi-stage loading uniaxial fatigue specimen shown has its long axis direction consistent with the rolling direction of the material. All specimens are selected from the same aluminum alloy plate, and each cross section of the specimen is polished to 2000 mesh before the test. This embodiment repeats the experiment for each group of specimens under the same conditions for many times, and the average value is taken as the result;
[0031] In this embodiment, two-stage (M=2) and three-stage (M=3) uniaxial fatigue tests were carried out, the load spectrum used was a sine wave, the stress ratio was 0.1, the loading frequency was 10 Hz, and the other test parameters were shown in Table 1. For the two-stage loading test, "LH" represents the maximum stress value σ max,1 =230MPa,σ max,2=250MPa, indicating a two-level load spectrum from low stress value to high stress value, "HL" is the opposite. For three-level loading, "LMH" indicates the maximum stress value σ max,1 =230MPa,σ max,2 =250MPa,σ max,3 =270MPa, "HML" is the opposite. "A" means the test environment is air, that is, there is no corrosion, "S" means the in-situ corrosion-fatigue test is carried out, and the corrosion condition is 3.5wt.% NaCl salt spray environment. For the two-stage loading fatigue test, n1 represents the number of loading cycles set by the first-level uniaxial load, and the number of fatigue cycles experienced by the second-level loading until the specimen breaks is recorded as n2. For the three-stage loading fatigue test, n3 represents the number of fatigue cycles experienced by the third-level load until the specimen breaks;

[0039]
[0040] The weight coefficient of corrosion influence of the i-th loading environment λ i Calculation: First, based on the relationship between normal stress amplitude and fatigue life, as shown in formula (1):
[0041] In formula (1), Δσ n is the uniaxial fatigue stress range, σa represents the uniaxial fatigue stress amplitude, σ f is the material single tension fatigue strength coefficient, b represents the material single tension fatigue strength index;
[0042] Combining the uniaxial fatigue test results of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy under multi-stage loading in Table 2 and Table 3, the parameter values of formula (1) under corrosive environment and non-corrosive environment are fitted, as shown in Table 4. fc Indicates the material single tension fatigue strength coefficient, b c Indicates the material single tension fatigue strength index;
[0043] Table 4. Basquin formula parameter fitting results
[0044]
[0045] Further, according to the following formulas (2) and (3), the environmental corrosion influence weight coefficient λ is calculated: i The results are shown in Table 5. In the formula, σ a,i represents the stress amplitude corresponding to the i-th level fatigue loading under corrosive environment, σ aeq,i Indicates σ under corrosive environment a,i When the fatigue life of the load acting alone is equal, the stress amplitude in the air environment is as shown in formula (3). i Indicates the fatigue stress amplitude σ in a non-corrosive environment when the fatigue life is the same aeq,i and fatigue stress amplitude σ in corrosive environment a,i ratio;
[0046] λ i =σ aeq,i / σ a,i (2)
[0047]

[0049]
[0050] Loading order influence factor μ i Calculation of μ i The calculation formula is shown in (4):
[0051]
[0052] in, It indicates the maximum axial stress amplitude when the fatigue load is applied to level i. For example, for the "HML" loading sequence, μ1=121.5 / 121.5=1, μ1=121.5 / 112.5=1.080, μ1=121.5 / 103.5=1.174.
[0053] By formula Calculate the cumulative damage value of uniaxial fatigue under multi-stage loading in a corrosive environment, where M represents the loading level of the fatigue test, n i Indicates the number of cycles of the i-th level fatigue load, N f,i represents the life when only the i-th level fatigue load acts; therefore, for the two-level and three-level loading described in this embodiment, the nonlinear damage accumulation model formulas are shown in (6) and (7), respectively:
[0054]
[0055] The model results are shown in the figure:
[0056] This embodiment selects three commonly used damage accumulation models, including Miner linear damage accumulation model, Manson model and Morrow plastic work model, for comparison with the model constructed by the present invention. For each damage accumulation model, the critical damage D CR The closer the model calculation result is to 1, the better the prediction effect is.
[0057] As a classic linear cumulative damage model, the Miner model can be used to predict life under variable amplitude fatigue loads. For multi-level load spectra, the total damage can be calculated according to formula (8):
[0058]
[0059] Manson proposed a model based on the damage curve method to calculate damage accumulation. The total damage under multi-level fatigue load spectrum is calculated by formula (9):
[0060]
[0061] Morrow proposed a plastic work interaction model by introducing the equivalent stress amplitude. The total damage under multi-level load spectrum can be calculated according to formula (10):
[0062]
[0063] In formula (10), σ a,i represents the vonMises equivalent stress during each level of loading, σ eq,maxIt is the maximum equivalent stress in the entire loading process, and d is the Morrow plastic work interaction index. According to the literature, for aluminum alloys, its value is -0.45.
[0064] In the above three commonly used models, n i and N f,i The meaning of is the same as described above. For secondary loading, M = 2, and for tertiary loading, M = 3. Table 6 lists the calculation results of three commonly used damage accumulation models and the model proposed in this paper under the multi-level load spectrum of this experiment.
[0065] Table 6. Damage accumulation calculation results of each model
[0066]
[0067] It can be seen from Table 6 that among the four damage accumulation models, the model established by the present invention has achieved the best calculation results, with the smallest average damage accumulation value, which is closest to the critical damage value of 1 among the four models. In particular, for the damage assessment under the salt spray environment, since the model introduces the environmental corrosion influence weight coefficient, the range of variation is the smallest compared with the other three models, and the mean value of the accumulated damage under the corrosive environment is also the smallest at 1.130.
[0068] The principles and implementation methods of the present invention are described in this article using specific examples. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
