Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material life prediction, and in particular relates to a life prediction method based on total tensile strain energy density and taking stress relaxation effect into consideration. Background Art
[0002] Hot-end components, operating in high-temperature environments, are subject not only to fatigue damage but also to high-temperature creep damage. The specific damage type varies depending on the load waveform and hold time, with three main types occurring: fatigue-dominated, creep-dominated, and creep-fatigue interaction.
[0003] The hot-end components of aviation equipment often operate under high-temperature, cyclic, and complex loads. Unlike fatigue or creep damage caused by a single factor, they often fail due to low-cycle creep fatigue damage. Repeated starts and stops and operating mode changes often cause low-cycle fatigue damage to the material, while cruising under certain operating conditions can also cause creep damage. Due to harsh operating conditions, low-cycle creep fatigue damage has become one of the main causes of failure of hot-end components. When hot-end components fail, they often have serious consequences. Therefore, accurately estimating the low-cycle creep fatigue life of the materials used in hot-end components is of great significance to the safe service of aviation equipment.
[0004] Hundreds of life prediction models have been proposed by scholars for the life prediction of hot-end components. Most of these prediction models are simple combinations of stress, strain, or stress-strain. Models such as the critical plane method, Basquin method, Manson-Coffin method, and strain energy frequency separation (SEFS) method do not consider the impact of loading waveforms on component life. Models such as the ductility exhaustion approach (DE), the continuous damage mechanics Kachanov-Rabotnov method, and the Lemaitre method lack the consideration of important factors such as average stress and loading frequency on component life. At the same time, the nonlinear creep fatigue damage accumulation method (NDS), the strain range partitioning method (SRP), and the strain energy partitioning method (SEP) contain too many material constants, making the models too complex to be used in real scenarios. Therefore, the above-mentioned methods all have some limitations in actual engineering life prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0015] S4. Considering the restoration effect, determine the additional inelastic strain energy density generated by the mean stress and correct the influence of the mean stress on the lifespan;
[0016] Among them, the phenomenon that the average compressive stress makes it difficult for microscopic holes generated in the fatigue-creep process to form and connect is called the restoration effect.
[0017] S5. Based on the strain energy density-frequency separation method SEFS, a fatigue-creep life prediction model is established by combining the sum of the inelastic strain energy density described in step S3 and the additional inelastic strain energy density generated by the average stress in step S4 to achieve fatigue-creep life prediction.

The loading waveform is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes: pure fatigue pp type loading without holding time, fatigue-creep cp type loading with holding load in the tension stage, fatigue-creep pc type loading with holding load in the compression stage, and fatigue-creep cc type loading with holding load in both tension and compression stages.
[0082] Among them, the material specimens are subjected to the same total strain range Δε t = 1% and strain rate Loading, tension and compression holding time t for each test h Different, the holding time t in this embodiment h The mechanical response parameters of the specimens in each test group under the life and half-life cycles were obtained in a time range from 60s to 1800s.

[0088] In step S3 of this embodiment, a new inelastic strain energy density is proposed as a damage parameter. The area of the hysteresis loop under half-life cycle is used to describe the inelastic strain energy density generated by fatigue and fatigue creep loads. For different loading waveforms (pp, cp, pc, cc) and holding times, the hysteresis loop under half-life cycle will have different shapes and areas. The new inelastic strain energy density calculation method can calculate the area of the fatigue and creep corresponding hysteresis loop regions based on fatigue and creep characteristics, respectively, thereby considering the influence of loading waveform and holding time. This damage parameter modifies the plastic strain energy density (PSED) theory based on the tensile inelastic strain energy density that triggers crack growth, and considers stress relaxation during the tensile holding stage. The inelastic strain energy density generated during the compression holding stage is innovatively introduced to consider fatigue damage caused by the compression holding stage.
[0089] S31. Determine the plastic strain energy density resulting from changes in operating conditions;
