Background Art

[0002] Key components in the aerospace field are usually subjected to complex multi-axial fatigue loads. With the gradual increase in the service life requirements of high-end equipment, there is an urgent need for a fatigue life prediction method under multi-axial variable amplitude loading suitable for the ultra-high cycle field.

[0003] At present, the low-cycle / high-cycle fatigue life prediction methods and the traditional infinite life design methods based on fatigue limit have shown serious shortcomings. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to study the equivalent evaluation method of multi-axial loads in the ultra-high cycle field, so as to form a life prediction method under multi-axial tension-torsion composite variable amplitude loads suitable for the ultra-high cycle field. This is of great strategic significance to the research and development of machinery in aerospace and other fields. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a life prediction method for ultra-high cycle multi-axis tension-torsion composite variable amplitude fatigue of titanium alloy.

[0005] For low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue, life prediction methods have become mature, but there are no research reports on multi-axial ultra-high cycle fatigue life prediction methods, especially for ultra-high cycle life prediction methods under multi-axial tension-torsion composite different shear / axial stress ratio loads. Therefore, the present invention mainly studies ultra-high cycle tension-torsion composite multi-axial variable amplitude fatigue life prediction methods. The present invention first obtains basic test data through fatigue tests under ultra-high cycle uniaxial, obtains experimental data under three stress ratios of -1, 0.06, and 0.5, establishes a stress ratio correction model in the ultra-high cycle field based on the Goodman equation, and then obtains test data by ultra-high cycle multi-axial fatigue tests under three different shear / axial stress ratios through an ultra-high cycle multi-axial tension-torsion composite testing machine. A new multiaxial parameter is introduced to replace the shear / axial stress ratio, and a modified Mises equivalent stress suitable for the field of ultra-high cycle multiaxial fatigue is proposed. By analyzing the relationship between the new multiaxial parameter and the shear stress influencing factor in the fatigue limit under different shear / axial stress ratios and the slope of the SN curve, i.e. the fatigue exponent in the Basquin equation, an equivalent multiaxial evaluation method for ultra-high cycle multiaxial tension-torsion combined fatigue is proposed. Finally, a nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation method considering the influence of multi-level loading is used to realize the prediction of ultra-high cycle variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue life.

[0006] The life prediction method proposed by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step (1): The specimen used in the ultra-high cycle uniaxial symmetrical fatigue test is an hourglass-shaped specimen. An ultra-high cycle fatigue test with a stress ratio of -1 is performed on an ultra-high cycle fatigue testing machine to obtain corresponding test data for subsequent analysis;

[0008] Step (2): By analyzing the ultra-high cycle fatigue test data under symmetrical cycles, the test data is fitted through a variant of the Basquin formula to express the ultra-high cycle fatigue life prediction model under symmetrical cycles. The formula is as follows:

[0009] σ a =σ' f (2N f ) b (1)

[0011] Among them, N f represents the predicted fatigue life, σ a represents the stress amplitude under symmetrical cyclic loading, σ, f represents fatigue strength coefficient, b represents fatigue strength index;

[0012] Step (3): conducting ultra-high cycle fatigue tests at two different stress ratios with a stress ratio greater than 0 on an ultra-high cycle hourglass-shaped specimen under asymmetric cycles to obtain experimental data in order to derive a stress ratio correction model under ultra-high cycles;

[0013] Step (4): After analyzing the data of the three stress ratios of -1, 0.06, and 0.5, the fatigue life of 10 7 , 10 8 , 10 9 The stress amplitude and average stress are calculated as follows:

[0014] σ a =σ, f (2N f ) b (3)

[0015] Among them, σ a represents the stress amplitude under this stress ratio, σ, f Indicates fatigue strength coefficient, N f represents the fatigue life under this stress ratio, and b represents the fatigue strength index;

[0016] Step (5): The fatigue life is fitted to 10 by using the modified Goodman equation as shown below: 7 , 10 8 , 10 9The stress amplitude and average stress are used to obtain the stress ratio correction model in the ultra-high cycle field;

[0017]

[0018] Among them, p and q are experimental fitting parameters, σ b is the tensile strength of the material;

[0019] Step (6): The fatigue life under p, q and stress ratio of -1 is 10 by fitting the following formula: 7 , 10 8 , 10 9 The relationship between the data is calculated as follows:

[0020] p=a+b·σ -1 (5)

[0021] q=m+n·σ -1 (6)

[0022] Among them, a, b, m and n are fitting parameters.

[0023] Step (7): Integrate formula (d), formula (e), and formula (f) to finally obtain the stress ratio correction model in the ultra-high cycle field, as shown in the following formula;

[0024]

[0025] Step (8): The ultra-high cycle multi-axial tension-torsion composite fatigue test needs to be carried out on an ultra-high cycle fatigue testing machine. Compared with the uniaxial test, a special multi-axial amplitude change rod with an inclined groove and a double-arc specimen are used to carry out fatigue tests with three different shear / axial stress ratio loads of 1.37 / 1.95 / 3.53 to obtain the corresponding test data;

[0026] Step (9): After analyzing the data of the above three stress ratios, the SN curves under the three shear / axial stress ratios of 1.37 / 1.95 / 3.53 are described by the Basquin formula respectively, and the 10 9 Fatigue strength and fatigue index for three shear / axial stress ratios under life.

[0027] σ a =σ, f (2N f ) b (8)

[0028] Among them, σ a represents the stress amplitude under uniaxial profit state, σ, f Indicates fatigue strength coefficient, N frepresents the fatigue life under this stress ratio, and b represents the fatigue strength index;

[0029] Step (10): A new multi-axial parameter ρ in the ultra-high frequency range is adopted, and the expression is as follows, which represents the effect of normal stress under tension-torsion combined loading conditions in the ultra-high frequency range.

[0031] Among them, σ represents the normal stress in tension-torsion combined loading, τ represents the shear stress in tension-torsion combined loading, and σ mises It indicates the magnitude of the mises equivalent stress in tension-torsion combined loading;

[0032] Step (11): Introduce the shear stress influence factor λ and modify the mises formula as follows, taking the case where the shear / axial stress ratio is 0 (i.e., under uniaxial tension and compression load) as 10 9 The fatigue limit σ0 of life is taken as the benchmark, and the fatigue limit under each shear / axial stress ratio is calculated to be applicable to the mises shear stress influence factor λ under ultra-high cyclic tension-torsion combined loading.

[0033]

[0034] Among them, σ ρ It represents the fatigue limit size under multiaxial parameter ρ load, that is, 10 9 Fatigue strength under life; σ represents the normal stress in tension-torsion combined loading, τ represents the shear stress in tension-torsion combined loading, and λ represents the mises shear stress influence factor applicable to ultra-high cycle tension-torsion combined loading. It is worth noting that in previous studies, the failure mechanism of Ti60 material under ultra-high cycle multi-axial loading was divided into two forms, and there is a threshold of shear / axial stress ratio. Here we can consider the shear / axial stress ratio to be 1, that is, the shear / axial stress is equivalent as the dividing point of the two failure forms. The shear stress influence coefficient λ of the load condition where the shear stress is greater than the tensile stress can be taken as a negative value to express the stress state dominated by shear stress.

[0035] Step (12): Fit the relationship between fatigue index b, shear stress influence coefficient λ and ultra-high cycle multiaxial parameter ρ under three shear / axial stress ratios by the following formula:

[0036] b=C1+C2ρ (11)

[0037] λ=P+Ae Sρ (12)

[0038] Among them, C1, C2, P, A, and S are fitting parameters.

[0039] Step (13): Integrate formula (8) with formula (9), formula (10), formula (11), and formula (12) to calculate the fatigue strength coefficient σ under a multi-axial parameter ρ working condition load: , f , the SN curve equation under arbitrary shear / axial stress ratio working load is further depicted as follows, and the fatigue life under ultra-high cycle multi-axial tension-torsion combined load is predicted.

[0042] Step (14): A high-cycle-ultra-high-cycle composite multi-axial variable amplitude fatigue test of Ti60 titanium alloy material with variable amplitude loading is carried out by using the developed high-cycle-ultra-high-cycle multi-axial fatigue testing machine. Since Miner's theorem is insensitive to the loading sequence of high-low or low-high loads, the life predicted by Miner will be too high, which is dangerous for engineering applications. Therefore, a classical nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation method that considers the interaction of multi-level loads is adopted, and a sequential load influence factor α is introduced, and the expression is shown in the following formula;

[0043]

[0044] The meaning of each parameter in the above formula:
