Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of crack propagation technology, and more particularly to crack representation methods, apparatus, devices, storage media, and products. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of crack propagation, the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is a commonly used method for simulating fatigue crack propagation. Based on the unit decomposition method, it strengthens the displacement function of conventional finite element elements to reflect the discontinuities and singularities of the displacement and strain fields. The XFEM mesh is independent of the crack, eliminating the need for re-meshing during crack propagation analysis. Since its inception, XFEM has received widespread attention, particularly in crack propagation simulation. BLKarihaloo proved that by introducing appropriate strengthening functions into the conventional finite element displacement function, XFEM can simulate various discontinuous fields, such as steps, junctions, and singularities. Amir R. Khoei and Yu Tiantang comprehensively summarized the research results, basic theories, and application methods of XFEM in recent years, detailing how to use XFEM to calculate fracture mechanics problems. Because the XFEM element mesh is independent of the crack, this method is increasingly being adopted in fatigue crack propagation research. Many commercial software programs, such as Abaqus 6.14, Ansys 18.0, HyperWorks 14.0, and Alof 3.0.1, etc.

[0003] The level set method is used to describe cracks in both research and commercial software. The level set method is a numerical technique used for interface tracing and shape modeling. It achieves the evolution of the zero level set by embedding the evolving curve or surface as a zero level set into a higher-dimensional level set function, thus evolving the zero level set through the evolution of the function in the higher dimension. This method can be numerically computed on a Cartesian mesh without parameterizing the curves and surfaces, making it convenient for tracking topological changes in objects, such as splitting and merging. Therefore, it is widely used in XFEM to describe crack evolution. However, handling high-dimensional level set functions is often not simple, especially considering the complexity of its implementation in the programming. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0048] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] The main solution of this application embodiment is: to establish a finite element mesh based on the crack; to determine the spatial location description points in the crack according to each finite element in the finite element mesh; to construct crack point vectors based on the spatial location description points in the finite element; to select reference points in the finite element, and to construct reference vectors based on the reference points and the spatial location description points; and to represent the crack based on the crack point vectors and the reference vectors.

[0050] Current technologies use the level set method to describe cracks. When describing three-dimensional cracks, the level set method requires calculating the signed distance function from the element nodes and integration points to the crack surface, which is a relatively complex process.

[0051] Based on the characteristics of shell elements, this application proposes a crack representation method for shell elements suitable for extended finite element elements. This method involves determining the spatial location description points of the crack within each finite element, and constructing crack point vectors and reference vectors based on these spatial description points and selected reference points. Crack representation is then achieved by calculating based on these crack point vectors and reference vectors. Compared to existing crack description methods, this application's embodiments employ a relatively simple vector product approach for crack description, greatly simplifying the crack tracing programming process.

[0052] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or virtual device capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a crack representation device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0053] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a crack representation method, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the crack representation method of this application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the crack representation method includes steps S10 to S50:

[0055] Step S10: Establish a finite element mesh based on the crack;

[0056] Step S20: Determine the spatial location description points in the crack based on each finite element in the finite element mesh.

[0057] As is understandable, finite element meshes are a fundamental component of finite element analysis. It refers to dividing a complex ensemble model into multiple smaller, simpler regions or elements, which are called finite elements in finite element analysis. Each finite element can be interconnected through nodes to form a complete mesh structure.

[0058] It should be noted that each finite element in a finite element mesh can have four boundaries, and the boundaries of two adjacent finite elements can overlap. The boundaries of each finite element in the finite element network can intersect with cracks, and this intersection point can be used as a spatial location descriptor.

[0059] Additionally, it should be noted that a crack can usually have an inflection point, which can also be used as a spatial location descriptor.

[0060] Step S30: Construct a crack point vector based on the spatial location description points within the finite element.

[0061] It should be noted that a finite element can include several spatial location description points, and for each spatial location description point, a corresponding crack point vector can be constructed. For example... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the spatial location description point in one implementation of an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 In the diagram, there are five spatial location description points corresponding to the crack. These spatial location description points can be sorted using the right-hand rule, and numbered as a, b, c, d, and e (according to the crack growth direction). Within each finite element, a crack point vector can be constructed. The direction of crack growth can be described by the crack point vector.

[0062] It should be explained that, in the embodiments of this application and the following embodiments, the description of "within a finite element" may include points on the boundary of the finite element.

[0063] It is understandable that the crack growth direction is the direction in which the crack propagates within the material. By understanding the crack growth direction, material damage or failure can be predicted, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the material. Specifically, the step of constructing a crack point vector based on the spatial location description points within the finite element includes: determining the crack growth direction; and constructing vectors for the spatial location description points within each finite element based on the growth direction to obtain the crack point vector.

[0064] Step S40: Select a reference point within the finite element, and construct a reference vector based on the reference point and the spatial location description point;

[0065] Step S50: Represent the crack based on the crack point vector and the reference vector.

[0066] It should be noted that the aforementioned reference point can be any point within a finite element. Based on the spatial location of the reference point and the spatial description point, a reference vector can be constructed. Calculations based on this reference vector and the aforementioned crack point vector can represent the crack without requiring complex high-dimensional level set function processing, thus reducing the difficulty of crack growth simulation.

[0067] This application's embodiments establish a finite element mesh based on the crack; determine the spatial location description points in the crack based on each finite element in the mesh; construct crack point vectors based on the spatial location description points within the finite elements; select reference points within the finite elements, and construct reference vectors based on the reference points and spatial location description points; and represent the crack based on the crack point vectors and reference vectors. Since the crack is represented by determining the crack point vectors and reference vectors, the level set method is not required, resulting in a simpler description of the crack.

[0068] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 3 The step of constructing a crack point vector based on the spatial location description points within the finite element includes:

[0069] The step of selecting a reference point within the finite element and constructing a reference vector based on the reference point and the spatial location description point includes:

[0070] Step S321: Determine the first crack point and the second crack point of the crack point vector based on the growth direction; the second crack point is the termination point of the crack point vector, and the first crack point is the starting point of the crack point vector.

[0071] Step S322: Select a reference point within the finite element, and construct a reference vector based on the reference point and the first crack point.

[0072] It should be noted that, along the direction of crack growth, the upstream and downstream points of each spatial location description point can be determined sequentially. For example... Figure 2 The spatial locations shown are points a, b, c, d, and e. Here, a, b, c, and e are the intersections of the crack and the boundary of the finite element, and d is the inflection point of the crack. For point a, its corresponding downstream points are b, c, d, and e; for point b, its corresponding upstream point is a, and its corresponding downstream points are c, d, and e; the upstream and downstream points of other points can be referred to the above, and will not be elaborated further in this embodiment.

[0073] It is understandable that, based on the spatial location description points on the crack in each finite element, the crack can be divided into several crack elements, such as crack segment ab, crack segment bc, and crack segment cde.

[0074] It should be noted that within a finite element containing the crack segment ab, a crack point vector can be constructed. Specifically, it can be expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, X b and X a These represent the coordinates of spatial location description point b and spatial location description point a, respectively.

[0077] It should be noted that, within this finite element, any point i can be chosen as the reference point. A vector from point i to point a (i.e., the first crack point) is then constructed. Among them, X i This indicates the coordinate position of the reference point i.

[0078] Further, the step of representing the crack based on the crack point vector and the reference vector includes:

[0079] Determine the coordinate system vector of the reference point;

[0080] The components and the unit step function value are determined based on the coordinate system vector, the crack point vector, and the reference vector.

[0081] The crack is represented by the component and the unit step function value.

[0082] It should be noted that once the crack point vector and reference vector are determined, the component values ​​and the unit step function value can be calculated based on these vectors. Specifically, the component values ​​can be calculated as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, V i3 V3 is the coordinate system vector of the node at reference point i.

[0085] The value of the unit step function can be calculated as follows:

[0086]

[0087] It is understandable that when the component is less than 0, the unit step function value is -1; when the component is greater than 0, the unit step function value can be +1.

[0088] In one implementation of this application, for cases where a finite element includes multiple spatial location description points, such as a finite element containing crack segments cde, a crack point vector can be constructed. and Specifically:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, X c X d X e These represent the coordinates of points c, d, and e, respectively, describing their spatial locations.

[0091] In one implementation of this application, an integration point among the spatial location description points can be determined within a finite element, and a reference vector can be constructed based on the reference point and the integration point. Specifically, the step of selecting a reference point within the finite element and constructing a reference vector based on the reference point and the spatial location description point includes:

[0092] Select a reference point within the finite element;

[0093] The integration point is determined based on the spatial location description point;

[0094] A reference vector is constructed based on the reference point and the integration point.

[0095] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not impose specific restrictions on the selection method of integration points.

[0096] In one implementation of this application, the selection of the integration point can be based on a reference point. Specifically, the positional relationship between the reference point and each spatial location description point can be determined. If a spatial location description point is located upstream of the reference point, then that spatial location description point can be used as the integration point. The aforementioned upstream direction is also the opposite direction of the crack growth direction. For example, when the crack growth direction is to the right, the upstream direction of the reference point can include the upper left, the left side, and the lower left.

[0097] For the reference point i within this finite element, the vectors to the integration points c and d are:

[0098]

[0099] Furthermore, the corresponding components can be calculated:

[0100]

[0101] Furthermore, its unit step function value can be as follows:

[0102]

[0103] In this embodiment, when the first condition is met (the first condition is: the first component) Less than zero, second component (less than zero) or the second condition (the second condition is: the first component) Second component With the third component When the product of the first and second components is greater than zero, the unit step function value can be -1; when the third condition is met (the third condition is: the first component...), the value of the unit step function can be -1; Greater than zero, second component (greater than zero) or the fourth condition (the fourth condition is: the first component) Second component With the third component When the product of and is less than zero, the value of the unit step function can be +1.

[0104] Further, the step of determining the spatial location description point in the crack based on each finite element in the finite element mesh includes:

[0105] Step S21: Determine the inflection point of the crack and the intersection point of the crack with the boundary of each finite element;

[0106] Step S22: The intersection of the inflection point and the boundary is used as the spatial location description point of the crack.

[0107] It should be noted that the aforementioned boundary intersection point is also the intersection point between the crack and the boundary of the finite element. This boundary intersection point can also be regarded as a point within the finite element.

[0108] It is understandable that during the crack growth process, the direction may change due to various factors such as the internal microstructure of the material, stress distribution, and loading conditions. This sudden change or turning point in direction is the inflection point of the crack.

[0109] This application simplifies crack representation by determining the first and second crack points based on the growth direction of the crack point vector; selecting a reference point within the finite element; and constructing a reference vector based on the reference point and the first crack point. This application simplifies crack representation by constructing the crack point vector and the reference vector, and calculating the components and unit step function values. Furthermore, the above calculation process is required during the integration of the unit stiffness matrix, eliminating the need for additional calculation steps.

[0110] This application also provides a crack indication device, please refer to... Figure 4 The crack indication device includes:
