During aircraft design and development, detailed stress analysis is typically used to obtain the local stress at the edge of web perforations. However, this method is complex and requires significant computational and human resources, hindering rapid iteration in aircraft structural design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating local stress in the web openings of aircraft structures based on a global finite element model. This invention can quickly determine the local detailed stresses of various web openings in aircraft structures, facilitating structural strength design.

[0006] σ max =σ ref *K t *(1-β loss (1)

[0007] Where, σ max For the local stress at the edge of the hole, σ ref K represents the reference stress of the gross section. t β is the stress concentration factor. loss This is the reduction factor for the load on the opening.

[0008] The aforementioned method for calculating local stress in the web openings of aircraft structures based on a global finite element model includes the following steps:

[0010] S2. For the web hole mentioned in step S1, based on the hole geometry and web element stress state, and taking the stress concentration factor of a uniaxial infinitely wide plate hole as a benchmark, and considering finite width correction, hole shape correction, biaxial stress correction, and boss correction, calculate the stress concentration factor K. t ;

[0012] S4. Substitute the parameters determined in steps S1 to S3 into equation (1) to determine the local stress at the edge of the target web hole.

[0027] In the aforementioned method for calculating local stress in the web openings of aircraft structures based on the overall finite element model, β loss Calculate using the following formula:

[0028] If d / W < 0.45, then β loss =0;

It comprehensively considers the influence of factors such as the geometric dimensions of the web opening, the plane stress state, and the reduction of the opening load, ensuring the accuracy of the calculation results and avoiding the complex detailed stress analysis in the calculation process. This significantly improves the efficiency of fatigue strength analysis of web openings in aircraft structures, thereby enabling rapid iterative optimization design of aircraft structural details and durability analysis covering the entire load-bearing structure of the aircraft.

The principal stresses of the web elements are used as the reference stresses for the gross cross-section of the web hole. The maximum principal stress σ1 = 232 MPa, the minimum principal stress σ2 = -125 MPa, and the reference stress σ... ref =232MPa.

[0039] 2) Based on the web hole size parameters, calculate various correction factors and determine the stress concentration factor K. t ;

[0040] The web hole is a single hole, and the reference stress concentration factor K is... t0 =3.0;

[0041] The edge distance of the web hole is e = 70 mm, the hole diameter is d = 43 mm, and the finite width correction factor is β. w =1.1 (e / d<2);

[0042] The web hole is an oblong-elliptical hole. Based on the actual structural dimensions, the hole shape correction factor β was calculated by consulting a stress concentration factor handbook. elip =0.84;

[0043] The maximum principal stress of the web hole is σ1 = 232 MPa, the minimum principal stress is σ2 = -125 MPa, and the biaxial stress correction factor is β. bi =1 - (-125 / 232 / 3) = 1.18;

[0044] The web hole is a double-sided reinforced boss. Based on the actual structural dimensions, the boss correction factor β was calculated by consulting the stress concentration factor handbook. pad =0.62.

[0045] Stress concentration factor K t =0.62*(3.0*1.1*0.84*1.18-1)+1=2.41

[0046] 3) Calculate the opening load reduction factor based on the web hole size parameters;

[0047] The diameter of the web hole is d = 43 mm, the width of the web grid is W = 140 mm, and the opening load reduction factor is β. loss =0 (d / W<0.45);

[0049] σ max =σ ref *K t *(1-β loss )=232*2.41*(1-0)=559MPa.

[0050] Example 2. A method for calculating local stress in the web opening of an aircraft structure based on a global finite element model, see [link to example]. Figure 1 The present invention first extracts the reference stress of the gross section based on the stress analysis results of the overall finite element model; then determines the stress concentration factor according to the opening geometry and the stress state of the web elements; simultaneously, considering the actual loss of cross-sectional stiffness caused by the opening and the compensation of cross-sectional stiffness by the boss, an opening load reduction factor is introduced, thereby quickly determining the local stress at the edge of the web opening. The formula for calculating the local stress at the edge of the web opening is as follows:

[0051] σ max =σ ref *K t *(1-β loss )

[0052] Where, σmax For the local stress at the edge of the hole, σ ref K represents the reference stress of the gross section. t β is the stress concentration factor. loss The term "opening load reduction factor" refers to the local linear elastic stress mentioned in this invention.

[0053] The calculation steps are as follows:

[0055] In step S1, it is necessary to determine the maximum principal stress σ1 and minimum principal stress σ2 of the corresponding web element in the overall finite element model.

[0056] In step S1, if the opening is located in the middle region of the web, the principal stress of the web element is used as the reference stress of the web hole cross section.

[0057] In step S1, if the opening is located in the edge region of the web, the principal stress of the nearest node is used as the reference stress of the web opening section.

[0060] K t =β pad *(K t0 *β w *β elip *β bi -1)+1

[0061] K t0 K is the reference stress concentration factor for a uniaxial infinitely wide plate hole. If the target web hole is a single hole, then K t0 The value is 3.0; if the target web hole is porous, then K t0 The stress concentration is related to factors such as the number of holes, hole diameter, and relative position. You can consult relevant stress concentration manuals for more information.

[0062] β w This is a finite-width correction factor, representing the effect of a finite-width plate on local stress, which can be determined based on relevant engineering experience.

[0063] β w =1.0 (e / d>2)

[0064] β w =1.1 (e / d≤2)

[0065] Where e is the distance from the web hole to the frame / beam edge strip in the direction of maximum principal stress, and d is the diameter of the web hole.

[0066] β elip This is the hole shape correction factor, which represents the influence of the hole shape (which can be divided into round hole, elliptical hole, oblong hole and square hole) on local stress. It can be obtained from relevant stress concentration manuals.

[0067] β bi This is a biaxial stress correction factor, representing the influence of the stress state of the web element on the local stress. The calculation method is as follows:

[0068] β bi =1-σ2 / σ1 / 3

[0069] Wherein, σ1 and σ2 are the maximum principal stress and minimum principal stress in the plane as described in S1, respectively.

[0070] β pad β is the boss correction factor, representing the effect of the reinforcing boss of the web hole on local stress. It is related to the size of the boss and the system holes. If it is a single-sided boss, due to the additional bending effect, β pad The value is 1.1. If it is a double-sided boss, β pad The value can be obtained from relevant stress concentration manuals.

[0071] S3: For the web hole mentioned in S1, calculate the opening load reduction factor based on the actual web hole structure size;

[0072] In step S3, since the web elements of the overall finite element model typically do not represent openings, the opening load reduction factor β is used. loss To characterize the loss of cross-sectional stiffness caused by the opening and the compensation of cross-sectional stiffness by the boss, the calculation method is as follows:

[0073] (1) If d / W < 0.45, then β loss =0;

[0074] (2) If d / W ≥ 0.45, then β loss =0.6*d / W*β pad ;

[0075] Where d is the diameter of the web hole, W is the target web grid width perpendicular to the direction of maximum principal stress, and β pad This is the boss correction coefficient described in S2.

[0076] S4: Substitute the parameters determined in steps S1 to S3 into the following calculation formula to determine the local stress at the edge of the target web hole;

[0077] σ max =σ ref *K t *(1-β loss ).
