[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Fatigue loads often need to be taken into account in structural design calculations. In the actual service process of the structure, fatigue loads are often non-uniform, non-uniform, and change over time. Sometimes, in order to evaluate the fatigue performance of the structure, a large number of multiple load step analysis and calculations are required, which is time-consuming and inefficient. At present, the solution to engineering problems usually requires efficient solutions first, although the accuracy of one step may be sacrificed. In view of the low efficiency of the evaluation calculation under the current engineering fatigue load, based on theoretical derivation and analysis, the analysis method proposed in this application can be calculated through the equivalent conversion calculation idea, and it is proposed to achieve simplified and efficient evaluation of structural fatigue evaluation through one calculation, based on the fatigue damage life equivalence and linear accumulation principles.

[0036] The disadvantage of the prior art is that it is inefficient. To address the low efficiency, this application proposes an equivalent calculation method to replace the multiple calculation method of the prior art.

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, 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.

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 load history data and geometric structure data to be processed to the server 104. After receiving the load history data and geometric structure data to be processed, the server 104 performs rain flow analysis on the load history data to obtain rain flow result data; the rain flow result data includes: load change amplitude and the corresponding number of changes; based on the fatigue damage linear superposition method, the load fluctuation range is calculated according to the rain flow result data; according to the load fluctuation range and the geometric structure data, the maximum equivalent stress change amplitude of the structure to be evaluated is obtained; according to the maximum equivalent stress change amplitude, based on the general fatigue life evaluation method, the fatigue life of the structure to be evaluated is determined. The server 104 can feedback the obtained fatigue life to the terminal 102. In addition, in some embodiments, the simplified evaluation method of structural fatigue damage can also be implemented independently by the server 104 or the terminal 102. For example, the terminal 102 can directly process the load history data and geometric structure data to be processed, or the server 104 can obtain the load history data and geometric structure data to be processed from the data storage system for processing.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a simplified evaluation method for structural fatigue damage is provided. The method is executed by a computer device, and can be executed by a computer device such as a terminal or a server alone, or 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 method, which includes the following steps S1 to S5. Among them:

[0041] S1. Obtain load history data and geometric structure data of the structure to be evaluated.

[0042] The data and information collected in this embodiment include detailed geometric dimensions of the structure to be evaluated (geometric structure data of the structure to be analyzed can be repeatedly generated on a computer), typical time history data of the load fluctuation range (data on the change of loads such as pressure and temperature over time).

[0043] The structures to be evaluated include all types of situations that may be encountered in engineering and may be subjected to changing loads during their service life.

[0044] For example, for a pressure vessel that is subjected to changes in pressure and temperature during use, load history data refers to the real-time specific data of pressure or temperature within a certain time range.

[0045] S2. Perform rain flow analysis on the load history data to obtain rain flow result data; the rain flow result data includes: load change amplitude and corresponding change times.

[0046] In this embodiment, the load history data is analyzed by rain flow analysis with the help of relevant software (MATLAB or other special software) or self-programming program to determine the load change amplitude Δp i And the corresponding number of changes N i Among them, these loads may be specific parameters such as operating internal pressure and operating temperature; loads that change on the structure to be evaluated can also be called important loads. After the rainflow analysis, subsequent steps can also be performed only on important loads.

[0047] S3. Based on the fatigue damage linear superposition method, the load fluctuation range is calculated according to the rain flow result data.

[0048] In this embodiment, based on the principle of equal fatigue service coefficient and the principle of linear superposition of fatigue damage, the load fluctuation range is calculated in combination with the rain flow result data. The calculation formula is:

[0049]

[0050] Where n is the number of changes, m is the exponential constant, Δp equ is the load fluctuation range (equivalent load fluctuation range), N i is the fluctuation number of the i-th load, △P i is the fluctuation range of the i-th load, where, due to multiple calculations, the final Δp equ It is a fluctuation range.

[0051] The specific process of calculating the load fluctuation range is as follows:

[0052] Step (1): Consider load fluctuation Δp i Elastic relationship with the amplitude of structural stress changes.

[0053] Step (2): Consider the relationship between the amplitude of structural stress variation and the allowable fluctuation range.

[0054] Step (3): Based on steps (1) and (2), determine the relationship between the allowable fluctuation range and the load fluctuation range.

[0055] Step (4): Based on step (3), according to the principle of linear superposition of fatigue cumulative coefficient, determine the cumulative service factor of the structure under the action of repeated load fluctuations and the load fluctuation Δp i and the fluctuation frequency N i The relationship between .

[0056] Step (5): Based on step (4), according to the principle of equal fatigue cumulative coefficients, determine the relationship between the fatigue service coefficient under the equivalent load and the cumulative service coefficient of the structure under the cumulative load fluctuation.

[0057] Step (6): Based on step (5), the fluctuation frequency corresponding to the equivalent load fluctuation range is taken as 1, and the relationship between the equivalent load and the previous load fluctuations and the fluctuation frequency is determined, that is:

[0058]

[0059] S4. Obtaining a maximum equivalent stress variation amplitude of the structure to be evaluated according to the load fluctuation range and the geometric structure data.

[0060] In this embodiment, the maximum equivalent stress variation amplitude of the structure to be evaluated under the load fluctuation range is calculated with the help of relevant software. According to mature finite element analysis structural software, such as Ansys, through finite element modeling, the calculation input conditions include the realization of the geometric model and the application of the equivalent load fluctuation range, and the calculation output result is the equivalent stress fluctuation range on the structure.

[0061] S5. Determine the fatigue life of the structure to be evaluated according to the maximum equivalent stress variation amplitude and based on a general fatigue life evaluation method.

[0062] Specifically, it includes: obtaining the fatigue design curve of the structure to be evaluated; calculating the allowable number of use cycles of the structure to be evaluated according to the maximum equivalent stress variation amplitude and the fatigue design curve; and calculating the fatigue use coefficient of the structure to be evaluated according to the allowable number of use cycles. The reciprocal of the allowable number of use cycles is the fatigue use coefficient of the structure to be evaluated.

[0063] In this embodiment, the fatigue design curve or calculation formula in the relevant standard is used to calculate the allowable number of cycles of the structure according to different selections of the material of the structure to be evaluated. The calculation can be performed by looking up a table, an illustration, or by a given relationship between the stress amplitude and the allowable number of cycles. The selection of the curve can be combined with the type of structural material selected in the design analysis standard. The horizontal axis of the curve is the allowable number of cycles, and the vertical axis is half of the equivalent stress fluctuation range obtained by the analysis software in the previous step.

[0064] Finally, a simplified structural fatigue evaluation report is compiled based on the calculation results.
