Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material and industrial product fatigue performance testing, and particularly relates to a low-cycle fatigue test device for metal sheet of LNG membrane tank and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important material in the structure of LNG membrane tank, the performance of the metal sheet attracts extensive attention. Under actual working conditions, the metal sheet is subjected to continuous cyclic loading, and therefore, investigating the fatigue performance index, especially the low-cycle fatigue performance index, of the metal sheet has important guiding significance for the design of the LNG membrane tank structure. However, the thickness direction size of the metal sheet is small, has a large slenderness ratio, and has small stiffness, and when subjected to tensile-compressive cyclic loading, the metal sheet is prone to lateral buckling instability in the thickness direction. Therefore, in the strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue test of the metal sheet, preventing buckling instability to obtain reliable test data becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently.

[0003] In the prior art, the authorized announcement CN102735557B discloses a vehicle body sheet fatigue test device and test method, and the application number CN200620012080.3 discloses a metal sheet axial tensile-compressive fatigue test anti-buckling clamp. When the above prior art is used to install the sample, a gap exists between the anti-buckling device and the test machine clamp, that is, the clamped end of the sample has a part that is not constrained in any way. The unconstrained part of the sample is also in a plane stress state during the fatigue test, and therefore, the sample is prone to bending at this part, which leads to invalid test. The authorized announcement CN111766162B discloses an automobile sheet strain fatigue test device and method, and the publication CN115753382A discloses a method for fatigue test of plate-shaped material. When the above prior art is used to install the sample, the sample and the split anti-buckling device need to be fixed by screwing the bolts. If the torque of the bolts is not balanced when the bolts are tightened, a slight misalignment will occur between the anti-buckling device and the sample, which leads to a deviation in the coaxiality between the two, and thus affects the accuracy of the subsequent fatigue test results.

[0020] Step S1: first, unscrew the bolt I from the threaded hole I, so that the left upper clamp and the right upper clamp of the upper clamp are separated, then place one end surface of the sample in the inner surface of the left upper clamp, so that the end surface of the sample contacts the side surface of the B-shaped positioning anti-reverse structure of the left upper clamp, and move the anti-buckling plate at an angle parallel to the sample, so that the middle part of the sample enters the sample position gap of the anti-buckling plate, then connect the upper sliding block of the left upper clamp and the right upper clamp with the buckling sliding groove I arranged on the upper end surface of the anti-buckling plate, so that the anti-buckling plate can slide relative to the upper clamp under the action of the upper sliding block and the buckling sliding groove I, finally, align the inner surface of the right upper clamp with the inner surface of the left upper clamp, so that the other end surface of the sample contacts the side surface of the A-shaped positioning anti-reverse structure of the right upper clamp, and screw the bolt I into the threaded hole I to fasten the end of the sample in the clamping channel I, at this time, the tension spring connected with the connecting column I and the connecting column II can ensure that the upper clamp and the anti-buckling plate still maintain close contact when sliding relative to each other under the action of the elastic force of the tension spring;

[0021] Step S2: in step S1, unscrew the bolt II from the threaded hole II of the lower clamp, so that the left lower clamp and the right lower clamp of the lower clamp are separated, then place the side surface of the other end of the sample in the inner surface of the left lower clamp, so that the end surface of the sample contacts the side surface of the positioning anti-reverse structure II of the left lower clamp, then under the sliding cooperation of the rolling element and the lower sliding groove and the buckling sliding groove II, the top end surface of the left lower clamp and the right lower clamp can slide in contact with the plane of the anti-buckling plate provided with the buckling sliding groove II, so that the anti-buckling plate can slide relative to the lower clamp, finally, align the inner surface of the right lower clamp with the inner surface of the left lower clamp, so that the other end surface of the sample contacts the side surface of the positioning anti-reverse structure II of the right lower clamp, and screw the bolt II into the threaded hole II to fasten the end of the sample in the clamping channel II;

[0025] 2、The integral design of the anti-buckling plate in the application not only omits the step of alignment and installation in the test process, but also increases the rigidity of the anti-buckling plate, avoids the deformation of the middle part of the anti-buckling plate in the test process, guarantees the accuracy of the test, effectively prevents the induction of the fatigue crack source of the sample, increases the service life of the sample, and reduces the error of the test.

[0026] 3、The buckling sliding groove I and the buckling sliding groove II symmetrically arranged at the sample position gap in the application enable the anti-buckling plate to align and slide with the upper clamp and the lower clamp, guarantee the coaxiality of the anti-buckling plate and the sample, and prevent the anti-buckling plate from being misaligned with the sample, which affects the accuracy of the subsequent fatigue test result.

Then, place the side surface of one end of the sample on the inner surface of the upper left side clamp, so that the side surface of the end of the sample contacts the side surface of the B-type positioning anti-reverse structure of the upper left side clamp. At the same time, move the anti-buckling plate at an angle parallel to the sample so that the middle part of the sample enters the sample position gap of the anti-buckling plate. Subsequently, the upper sliders of the upper left side clamp and the upper right side clamp are respectively engaged with the buckling groove I provided on the upper end surface of the anti-buckling plate. The connection is made so that the anti-buckling plate can slide relative to the upper clamp under the action of the upper slider and the buckling slide groove I. Finally, the inner surface of the upper right clamp is aligned with the inner surface of the upper left clamp so that the other side surface of this end of the specimen contacts the side surface of the A-type positioning and anti-reverse structure of the upper right clamp.
