Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of crack detection, and in particular to a method, equipment, medium and product for predicting the propagation direction of thermal cracks in a single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of aero-engine technology, the performance requirements for turbine blade materials are becoming increasingly stringent. Turbine blades operate in high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-stress environments. To extend blade life and improve engine efficiency, film pore structures are typically designed on the blade surface to reduce blade surface temperature through film cooling. However, under long-term high-temperature cycles and complex stresses, film pore structures are prone to thermal fatigue cracking, posing a serious threat to blade safety and stability.
[0003] Predicting the propagation direction of thermal fatigue cracks in film pore structures can effectively prevent turbine blade failure, extend blade service life, and ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft engines. This prediction can help engineers optimize designs and select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes, thereby improving engine performance and efficiency and reducing maintenance costs and risks. Accurate predictions can also guide repair and maintenance work, enabling timely detection and treatment of potential cracks and preventing catastrophic accidents.
[0004] Currently, methods for predicting the thermal fatigue crack propagation direction of film hole structures in aircraft engine turbine blades rely primarily on extensive experiments and empirical formulas. However, the accuracy of these methods decreases significantly when environmental and material conditions vary. Thermal fatigue crack propagation is a key failure mode in engineering materials and structures, particularly under high temperatures and cyclic stress environments, where it can significantly impact the lifespan and safety of materials and structures. Predicting crack propagation direction is crucial for preventing structural failure and optimizing design.
[0005] The existing prediction of thermal crack propagation direction is mainly carried out by conducting thermal fatigue tests at different temperatures and different shapes. This method requires a large number of tests and data collection under different conditions. This traditional experimental method is time-consuming and costly.
[0006] Moreover, experimental data and empirical formulas are usually only accurate and reliable under similar conditions. Once new materials, structural shapes or extreme working conditions (such as higher temperatures or more complex loads) appear, these data and experience may no longer be applicable, and the prediction accuracy will be greatly reduced.

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0055] The J-integral, a key parameter in fracture mechanics, effectively describes the stress and strain state near the crack tip and is used to predict crack propagation behavior. Finite element analysis (FEA) reduces the need for extensive experimental data, saving time and costs. Furthermore, FEA simulations allow for rapid evaluation of various operating conditions and materials, significantly shortening design cycles.
[0056] Based on the above description, numerical simulation and finite element analysis can be used to calculate the J-integral of the crack tip to provide priority information on the direction of crack propagation. When the J-integral of the crack tip reaches a certain critical value (usually denoted as JIC), the crack will propagate along the direction of maximum stress intensity. By analyzing the J-integral distribution on different crack propagation paths, the direction in which the crack is most likely to propagate can be determined. This method can not only be applied to conventional materials, but is also particularly suitable for engineering practices such as complex air film pore structures. By simulating the J-integral of the crack tip, the propagation direction of thermal fatigue cracks can be effectively predicted, thereby guiding structural design and life assessment.
[0057] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0058] The method for predicting the thermal crack propagation direction of the single crystal high temperature alloy air film pore structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. Among them, the terminal 102 communicates with the server 104 through the network. The data storage system can store the data that the server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be set up separately, integrated on the server 104, or placed on the cloud or other servers. The terminal 102 can send the structural parameters of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted to the server 104. After the server 104 receives the structural parameters of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted, it constructs a finite element model of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted. Based on the finite element model, the stress field of the crack tip in the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted is obtained. Based on the stress field of the crack tip, the maximum J integral of the crack tip in the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted is determined. Based on the maximum J integral of the crack tip in the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted, the thermal crack propagation direction of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure is determined. The server 104 can feed back the obtained thermal crack propagation direction prediction result to the terminal 102. In addition, in some embodiments, the method for predicting the thermal crack propagation direction of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure provided in the present application can also be implemented independently by the server 104 or the terminal 102. For example, the terminal 102 can directly predict the thermal crack propagation direction based on the structural parameters of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted, or the server 104 can obtain the structural parameters of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted from the data storage system, and predict the thermal crack propagation direction based on the structural parameters of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted.
[0059] Terminal 102 may include, but is not limited to, various desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablet computers, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices may include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, and smart car devices. Portable wearable devices may include smart watches, smart bracelets, and head-mounted devices. Server 104 may be implemented as a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or may be a cloud server.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for predicting the thermal crack propagation direction of a single crystal high temperature alloy film pore structure is provided. The method is executed by a computer device, specifically, it can be executed by a computer device such as a terminal or a server alone, or it can be executed by a terminal and a server together. In the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to Figure 1 The server 104 in the example is used as an example to illustrate the process, including the following steps 200 to 203.
[0061] Step 200: Construct a finite element model of the single crystal high temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted.
[0062] Step 201: Obtaining the stress field at the crack tip in the air film pore structure of the single crystal high-temperature alloy to be predicted based on the finite element model.
[0063] Step 202: Determine the maximum J-integral at the crack tip in the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted based on the stress field at the crack tip.
[0064] Step 203: Determine the thermal crack propagation direction of the single crystal high temperature alloy air film pore structure based on the maximum J-integral of the crack tip in the single crystal high temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted.
[0065] Implementing the above steps 200 to 203 can improve prediction accuracy while saving time and cost, thereby guiding structural design and life assessment.
[0066] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, in order to accurately predict the crack propagation path and overcome the prediction inaccuracy problem in traditional methods, the present application determines the maximum J integral of the crack tip based on the stress field of the crack tip through the contour integration method.
[0067] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, in order to significantly reduce the cost and time consumption of actual experiments, the present application constructs a finite element model of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted in Abaqus software.
[0068] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 3The V-notch thermal fatigue specimen (hereinafter referred to as the specimen) shown in FIG3 is used as an example to illustrate the visual process of the prediction method provided above. The thickness of the specimen and the diameter of the air film holes can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not limited to those shown in FIG3. Compared to a traditional V-notch, the specimen's air film hole structure better simulates thermal fatigue under actual use conditions.
[0069] The sequential thermal-mechanical coupling method is used to first calculate the specimen's temperature field, followed by the specimen's stress field. The maximum J-integral at the crack tip near the film hole is calculated using the contour integral method, denoted as Jmax. The Jmax value typically represents the driving force for crack propagation and can be used to predict the propagation direction of thermal fatigue cracks in film holes.
[0070] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 Taking the plate V-notch thermal fatigue specimen (hereinafter referred to as the specimen) as an example, referring to the above thermal fatigue test method, and using Abaqus software as the implementation object, the process of constructing the finite element model in the above step 200 is described.
[0071] (1) Create components: In the component module of Abaqus software, draw Figure 4 Model example shown.
[0072] (2) Property definition: Create a new material in the property module of Abaqus software. Taking the second-generation Ni-based single crystal high-temperature alloy IC21 as an example, define the properties of the alloy at different temperatures in the material properties, such as conductivity λ, elastic modulus E, shear modulus G, yield strength σ 0.2 , thermal expansion coefficient α and specific heat C. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1. Since single crystal high temperature alloys have significant mechanical anisotropy, anisotropy needs to be considered when defining their elastic behavior. The orthogonal elastic module is used to define their elastic behavior through the elastic coefficient matrix.
[0073] This step essentially defines the alloy properties and elastic behavior of the single crystal superalloy film pore structure to be predicted at different temperatures. Alloy properties include one or more of conductivity, elastic modulus, shear modulus, yield strength, thermal expansion coefficient, and specific heat.

[0076] The mechanical properties of single crystal superalloys show obvious anisotropy, and their elastic coefficient matrix can be expressed as:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, C represents the elastic coefficient matrix, and the elastic constant C 11 、C 12 、C 44 According to the elastic modulus E, Poisson's ratio υ and shear modulus G of the alloy, we have:
[0079]
[0080]
[0081] C 44 =G.
[0082] (3) Assemble components: Click “Create Instance” in the assembly module of Abaqus software. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can be assembled directly. Figure 5 shown.
[0083] This step is mainly to create a model instance of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted based on the defined alloy properties and elastic behavior.
[0084] (4) With reference to the thermal fatigue test method, an analysis step is created, and the thermal fatigue test parameters are loaded into the model instance of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted using the analysis step to obtain the initial thermal fatigue temperature field model.
[0085] For example, in the Abaqus software, click "Create Analysis Step" to create two analysis steps, Step-1 and Step-2. Referring to the thermal fatigue test method, Step-1 is the heating phase, with a duration set to t1. Step-2 is the cooling phase, with a duration set to t2, corresponding to the thermal fatigue heating phase and thermal fatigue cooling phase, respectively.
[0086] To set up the interaction, in the Abaqus interaction module, click "Create Interaction Properties" to define the surface heat exchange conditions between the model and the environment. For the heating phase of Step-1, the heat transfer coefficient can be set to a fixed value of 0.2. For the cooling phase of Step-2, due to the complex heat exchange between the model and water, the heat transfer coefficient should be set as a temperature-dependent function as shown in Table 2. Finally, click "Create Interaction" and select "Surface Heat Exchange Conditions." Define the ambient temperature of Step-1 to 1000 and the heat transfer coefficient to 0.2. Define the ambient temperature of Step-2 to 25 and the heat transfer coefficient to the function shown in Table 2.

[0089]
[0090] (5) The initial thermal fatigue temperature field model is meshed to obtain the thermal fatigue temperature field model.
[0091] For example, in the mesh module of Abaqus software, the initial thermal fatigue temperature field model is meshed. The sequential thermal-mechanical coupling needs to simulate the temperature field of the initial thermal fatigue temperature field model first. Therefore, the unit type selected is the DC3D8R hexahedron unit of the heat transfer type, and the mesh at the film hole is refined, such as Figure 6 shown.
[0092] (6) The temperature field results of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted are obtained by using the sequential thermomechanical coupling method based on the thermal fatigue temperature field model.
[0093] For example, calculate the thermal fatigue temperature field model. In the job module of Abaqus software, select the thermal fatigue temperature field model just established, create a job and click "Submit", run the thermal fatigue temperature field model, and obtain the temperature field results (the software will automatically output the result file). The effect is as follows Figure 7 shown.
[0094] (7) The stress time length is defined, and a crack is created in the model instance of the single crystal high temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted to obtain a crack model.
[0095] For example, in the component module of Abaqus software, a crack plane is created on the edge of the air film hole by cutting and splitting the original component (i.e., model instance), such as Figure 8 As shown, the length of the crack is 100 μm.
[0096] Set the analysis step. In the analysis step module of the Abaqus software, set the time lengths of the original Step-1 and Step-2 to 1. This is because the temperature field at each moment has been output during the temperature field simulation, so the time length can be set to 1 when simulating stress. Select "J integral" to output in the history output.
[0097] Define the crack. In the interaction module of Abaqus software, create a plane (such as Figure 8 The red dotted box in the middle is assigned as a crack, and the crack type is selected as cloud integral. This behavior lets the software know that the newly created plane exists in the form of a crack. The crack assignment method is as follows Figure 9 shown.
[0098] (8) The temperature field results of the single crystal high-temperature alloy air film pore structure to be predicted are imported into the crack model to complete the temperature field definition of the crack model.
[0099] For example, in the load module of Abaqus software, the temperature field results calculated by the corresponding temperature field model are imported, wherein the temperature field results are imported into the "Load" module of the crack model. Click "Create Predefined Field", select the predefined temperature, read from the result or output database file, and then select the previously output temperature field result file to complete the temperature field definition of the crack model. Among them, the interface for creating a predefined field is as follows Figure 10 shown.
[0100] (9) The crack model with the temperature field definition is meshed to obtain a thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks, and the thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks is used as a finite element model.
[0101] For example, in the mesh module of Abaqus software, the crack model is re-meshed to obtain the thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks. The thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks is as follows: Figure 11 As shown in the figure, since the J-integral at the crack tip requires the contour integration method, the mesh around the crack tip is specially divided, with numerous circles (i.e., contours) drawn around the thermal fatigue crack tip. The element properties are defined as C3D8R under the 3D stress type for stress field calculations and crack tip J-integral calculations.
[0102] Based on the above description, the J integral at the crack tip can be calculated by running the thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks. For example, in the job module of Abaqus software, select the thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks just established, create a job and click "Submit", run the thermal fatigue stress field model with cracks, and get the following Figure 12 The stress field results shown are Figure 13 The J-integral data shown here. The first 55 seconds represent the thermal fatigue heating phase, while the last 5 seconds represent the thermal fatigue cooling phase. The maximum J-integral (i.e., the maximum J-integral) occurs at the beginning of the cooling phase, with a value of 0.30.
[0103] Furthermore, the J integral of the crack tip is calculated when the thermal crack is at different positions. For example, the position of the thermal crack is changed, and the meshing and the J integral of the crack tip are re-calculated. Figure 14 As shown, the crack is defined at different locations along the edge of the film hole. Since the dimensions of the thermal fatigue stress field model with the crack remain unchanged, the stress field and J-integral can be recalculated using the same temperature field results. Since the thermal fatigue stress field model with the crack is symmetrical from top to bottom, only the upper half of the film hole needs to be calculated. Ultimately, the Jmax at the crack tip can be determined for different locations of the thermal fatigue crack.
[0104] Based on the above description, by comparing the Jmax values at the thermal crack tip at different locations, the preferred direction of thermal crack propagation can be determined. Specifically, by comparing the Jmax values at the crack tip when the thermal fatigue crack is at different locations, the thermal fatigue crack tends to propagate along the direction with the maximum Jmax value.
[0105] In summary, this application introduces an air-film pore structure in the design of thermal fatigue specimens, which can more accurately simulate the thermal fatigue conditions experienced in actual use compared to traditional V-notch specimens. Using finite element simulation technology, combined with the sequential thermal-mechanical coupling method and the contour integration method, the J-integral at the crack tip is calculated, providing a novel method for predicting the direction of thermal crack growth, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of thermal crack growth prediction.
[0106] Furthermore, compared to traditional methods, this application can more realistically reflect the fatigue behavior of materials in high-temperature environments, and significantly reduces the cost and time of actual experiments through finite element simulation. Furthermore, the contour integral method accurately predicts the crack propagation path, overcoming the inaccurate predictions in traditional methods and significantly improving experimental efficiency, providing a more efficient and economical solution for related research fields.
[0107] Furthermore, in the aerospace field, this application can be used to evaluate and improve the thermal fatigue performance of high-temperature components such as aircraft engine turbine blades. By simulating the high-temperature and high-pressure environments of actual flight conditions, fatigue crack propagation paths in components can be predicted, assisting in targeted design of the preferred directions and areas of thermal crack propagation, thereby improving component safety and reliability.
