Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of aeroengines, and more particularly to a method for predicting the remaining life of a hot end component of an aeroengine. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft engine hot end components, such as aircraft engine turbine disks, operate under extreme conditions and often face structural integrity problems caused by cracks. These cracks not only directly threaten the strength and durability of the components, but may also pose a major risk to the safe operation of the entire equipment. Traditional remaining life prediction methods have obvious limitations when facing cracked aircraft engine hot end components.
[0003] At present, the research on the prediction of the remaining fatigue life of the hot end components of aircraft engines based on the allowable crack size has a mature method flow, mainly including empirical methods, finite element methods and fracture mechanics methods. Although the empirical method is simple to operate, the results are too conservative and rely on a large amount of experimental data and engineering experience, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision prediction of the hot end components of modern aircraft engines. Although the finite element method can provide detailed stress distribution information, the calculation cost is high, professional software and complex constitutive models are required, and the required parameters are difficult to obtain. Although the fracture mechanics method is simple to operate, it is usually based on the assumptions of quasi-static fracture and plane strain state, which is inconsistent with the actual crack extension under fatigue load, resulting in poor prediction results.
[0004] In addition, the traditional failure assessment diagram (FAD) method is mainly used to evaluate the crack propagation behavior of materials, but when dealing with cracked structures, it often ignores the influence of factors such as crack size, structural geometry, and material nonlinear behavior, resulting in overly conservative or inaccurate prediction results. For example, the traditional FAD method is usually based on the plane strain state of the crack tip of the standard specimen, while the actual stress state of the crack tip of the hot end component of the aircraft engine is more complex, which further affects the accuracy of the prediction.
[0005] Therefore, how to design a remaining life prediction method for aircraft engine hot end components that can comprehensively consider crack size effects, load conditions and material properties, and improve the remaining life prediction accuracy and reliability of aircraft engine hot end components is an urgent problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve.

[0077] Powder high temperature alloy FGH96 material is often used as the constituent material of the hot end components of aircraft engines. The following takes a semicircular artificial crack specimen made of powder high temperature alloy FGH96 material as an example to further explain in detail the various steps and related technical features in the above-mentioned remaining life prediction method:
[0078] The material parameters of powder high temperature alloy FGH96 are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below:
[0079] Table 1
[0080]
[0081] Table 2
[0082]
[0083] The fatigue test data of powder high temperature alloy FGH96 material under stress ratio of 0.05 are shown in Table 3 below:
[0084] Table 3
[0085]
[0086]
[0087] In this embodiment S1, a finite element analysis is performed on a hot end component of an aircraft engine with cracks to determine the J integral and stress triaxiality of multiple nodes at the crack front under different loads;
[0088] Specifically include:
[0089] Obtain the material parameters of the material constituting the hot end component of the aircraft engine; the material parameters here are the parameters in Table 1 above; based on the finite element model, set the singularity of the grid near the crack front, and apply different external loads; input the material parameters into the finite element model, obtain the J integral of the crack front, and extract the principal stress to obtain the stress triaxiality of the crack front;
[0090] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the J integral is a parameter that measures the energy release rate at the crack tip. It is obtained through the J integral distribution diagram at different angles between the crack front node and the crack width, including the elastic J integral and the elastic-plastic J integral. The elastic J integral mainly reflects the elastic deformation energy at the crack tip, while the elastic-plastic J integral takes into account the influence of plastic deformation.
[0091] In this figure, the horizontal axis represents the angle between the crack front node and the crack width. The ordinate represents the J-integral. There are four curves, each representing a typical combination of crack length (a) and stress level (b). Specifically, they include: blue solid line: a=1200μm, b=900MPa; blue dashed line: a=1200μm, b=1200MPa; red solid line: a=1800μm, b=900MPa; red dashed line: a=1800μm, b=1000MPa; In addition, each curve is marked with the corresponding maximum value of the J-integral (max), as well as the J-integral value when the angle between the crack front node and the crack width is the largest;
[0092] The specific values are as follows: The blue solid line, that is, when a = 1200μm and b = 900MPa, the maximum value of J integral is 12.8N / mm. The maximum J integral is 10.5N / mm; the blue dotted line, that is, when a=1200μm and b=1200MPa, the maximum J integral is 109.4N / mm. The maximum J integral is 109.0N / mm; the red solid line, that is, when a=1800μm, b=900MPa, the maximum J integral is 38.2N / mm. The maximum J integral is 33.0N / mm; the red dotted line, that is, when a=1800μm and b=1000MPa, the maximum J integral is 76.3N / mm. The J integral at maximum is 74.4N / mm;
[0093] From this figure, when the crack length is the same, a higher stress level will result in a higher J-integral value. When the stress level is the same, a longer crack length will also result in a higher J-integral value. As the value of increases, the J integral value gradually rises to a maximum value, and then tends to be stable or slightly decreases. This shows that there is an optimal angle that makes the J integral reach its maximum value.
[0094] In addition, in finite element analysis, it is also necessary to extract the principal stress values of multiple nodes at the crack front. According to the principal stress values, the stress triaxiality of each node is calculated using the definition and calculation formula of stress triaxiality. Stress triaxiality is an important parameter that reflects the tendency of material failure under multiaxial stress state.
[0095] Stress triaxiality calculation formula:
[0096]
[0097] Among them, σ h is the hydrostatic stress, σ Mises is the von Mises stress, σ1, σ2, and σ3 are principal stresses, representing the maximum tensile stress, intermediate stress, and minimum compressive stress, respectively.
[0098] In this embodiment S2, the stress triaxiality of the crack front node is extrapolated to obtain the stress triaxiality extrapolation result of the crack front node;
[0099] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the stress triaxiality of the crack front node is The stress triaxiality distribution diagram under the ratio is obtained; where r represents the distance from the node to the crack front, σ Y represents yield stress, and J represents J-integral.
[0100] In this figure, the horizontal axis represents ratio, r represents the distance from the node to the crack front, σ Y represents yield stress, J represents J integral; the ordinate represents stress triaxiality The black dots in the figure represent the data points actually measured or calculated, and the red oblique line is a fitting curve obtained by extrapolating these data points, which clarifies the stress triaxiality h with Increasing and gradually decreasing trend.
[0101] And when When it approaches zero, the stress triaxiality The initial value of is about 2.78, which is the maximum stress triaxiality; as the distance r from the node to the crack front or As the ratio increases, the stress triaxiality h will show a downward trend, and the stress state of the material becomes more uniform or closer to the uniaxial tension state at a position far away from the crack tip.
[0102] When performing the extrapolation of stress triaxiality, the actual stress triaxiality of several nodes at the crack front is first obtained by finite element analysis. Then, several typical nodes near the crack front are selected, and a straight line is constructed through these known points based on the trend of their stress triaxiality changing with distance. This straight line can assist in predicting the stress triaxiality of nodes beyond the known range. That is, the linear relationship between the existing data points is used to estimate the stress triaxiality of the unknown position, so as to achieve effective extrapolation of the stress triaxiality of the external nodes.
[0103] In this embodiment S3, based on the J-integral of the crack front node and the stress triaxiality extrapolation processing result, the representative position of the crack front is determined in combination with a preset threshold;
[0104] Specifically, in the finite element analysis, the J integral and stress triaxiality extrapolation results of the crack front nodes have been calculated. In order to determine the representative position of the crack front, it is first necessary to find the maximum value of the J integral and the maximum value of the stress triaxiality extrapolation results in the node. Then, the nodes whose J integral is within the range of 0.8 to 1 times the maximum J integral and the stress triaxiality extrapolation results are within the range of 0.9 to 1 times the maximum value are selected. These nodes can better reflect the crack propagation driving force of the crack front and reflect the local stress state of the crack front.
[0105] Furthermore, the above-selected nodes are cross-screened, and the nodes that meet the representative conditions of both the J integral and the stress triaxiality extrapolation results are selected as the final representative positions, and the nodes with the deepest cracks are selected as representative positions. Finally, the selected representative positions are data verified to ensure the rationality and consistency of their J integral and stress triaxiality extrapolation results, and the selection of representative positions is verified to be reasonable by comparing with the data of other nodes.
[0106] In this embodiment S4, a conventional failure assessment diagram is generated by J-integral of a representative position of the crack front;
[0107] The traditional failure assessment diagram is expressed as:
[0108]
[0109] Among them, f(L r ) represents the crack driving force and is the ordinate of the failure assessment curve; L r is the ligament yield parameter, is the abscissa of the failure assessment curve; J e represents the elastic J integral, J ecrepresents the elastic-plastic J integral, σ ref represents the reference stress, σ 0.2 represents the material yield strength, σ app represents the remote applied stress, σ0 represents the reference yield stress, represents the critical ligament yield parameter, σ u Indicates the tensile strength of the material;

[0111]
[0112] Where E represents Young's modulus, ε ref represents the reference strain, J e (σ app ), J ec(σapp) are the far-end applied stress σ app Elastic J integral and elastoplastic J integral under .

[0117] Among them, f(L r (a)) represents the crack driving force related to the crack size, and P, M, N, and H represent the fitting parameters;
[0118] Based on the correlation between the reference yield stress σ0 and the crack size a and J integral, the ligament yield parameter Lr is expressed by the crack size a:
[0119]
[0120] σ0(a)=P'+M'a+N'a 2
[0121] And when there is no crack in the component, σ0(a=0)=σ 0.2 ,satisfy:

[0123] Among them, L r (a) represents the ligament yield parameter related to the crack size, σ0(a) represents the reference yield stress related to the crack size, and P′, M′, and N′ represent the fitting parameters.
[0124] Furthermore, through the correlation function between the crack driving force and the ligament yield parameter under different crack sizes and loads, a failure assessment diagram combining the crack size effect is generated;
[0125] In the failure assessment diagram combining the crack size effect, the vertical coordinate of the failure assessment curve is the crack driving force f(L) related to the crack size. r (a)), the abscissa of the failure curve is the ligament yield parameter L related to the crack size r (a);
[0126] Critical ligament yield parameter It is expressed as:
[0127]
[0128] Among them, the critical ligament yield parameter represents the critical ligament yield parameter enlarge times.
[0129] like Figure 4 As shown, a damage tolerance failure assessment diagram is generated based on the failure assessment diagram combined with the crack size effect;
[0130] The damage tolerance failure assessment diagram includes: meaningless area, no crack extension area, safe area and dangerous area.
[0131] Specifically, the meaningless area is Area; The area without crack extension is Area, where K th is the fatigue crack extension threshold; the safety zone is and The enclosed area; the danger zone is or f(L r (a))>K r area.
