Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fatigue simulation method for local stress ratio change caused by nonlinear deformation, and belongs to the technical field of composite material fatigue performance research. Background Art

[0002] Composite material fatigue is a process in which the internal structure of a material is gradually damaged under cyclic stress or strain, resulting in a degradation of its performance and eventual destruction. Fatigue failure usually does not have obvious macroscopic plastic deformation, and there is no obvious sign before fracture, but it is a sudden failure. The fatigue performance of composite materials is crucial to the safety and reliability of engineering structures. Fatigue failure is the most common form of failure in engineering, and usually occurs when the stress level is lower than the strength of the material. Therefore, understanding the fatigue performance of materials is of great significance for preventing structural failure and ensuring the structural safety and use of aircraft.

[0003] Traditional composite fatigue simulation methods mainly perform fatigue simulation calculations based on fatigue stress peak values, fatigue equal life models, stiffness degradation and strength degradation, and fatigue failure criteria. During the calculation process, the stress ratio of the peak-to-valley value of the fatigue load on the unit remains unchanged by default. However, in the real fatigue process, due to the failure of some units first, the local stress is redistributed, causing the stress ratio of the fatigue load on the unit to change. At this time, if the stress ratio change is not considered, the accuracy of the fatigue simulation calculation will be seriously reduced. Therefore, it is particularly important to propose a fatigue simulation method that changes the local stress ratio due to nonlinear deformation, which can solve the problem of decreased calculation accuracy due to the change of the unit stress ratio and make the fatigue simulation calculation results more accurate. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides a fatigue simulation method for local stress ratio change caused by nonlinear deformation.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fatigue simulation method for local stress ratio change caused by nonlinear deformation, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: Determination of fatigue load peak σ based on load input from composite fatigue tests max and fatigue load valley value σ min , and calculate the fatigue stress ratio R = σ min / σ max ;

[0007] S2: The entire fatigue loading process is divided into two stages. The first stage is the quasi-static loading stage, that is, the load is loaded from 0 to the fatigue load peak σ max ;The second stage is the stage of continuous load application;

[0008] S3: Incremental time Δt based on the current simulation i Calculate the equivalent fatigue life under the current fatigue cycle loading;

[0009] The calculation process of the equivalent fatigue life under the current fatigue cycle loading described in S3 is as follows:

[0010] ΔN i =Dn×Δt i / Δt scale (1)

[0011] In formula (1):

[0012] Dn represents the cycle parameter of fatigue life, which is a fixed constant;

[0013] Δt scale represents the dimensionless time scale parameter;

[0014] i represents the current fatigue cycle.

[0015] S4: Calculate the stress ratio R under the current fatigue cycle loading i ;

[0016] S401: numerically compare the absolute values ​​of stress of the elements under a fatigue cycle loading;

[0017] S402: Filter and save the current fatigue load peak stress point and the current fatigue load valley stress point

[0018] S403: Calculate the stress ratio R under the current fatigue cycle loading i :

[0019]

[0020] S5: Calculate the equivalent fatigue life of the current element;

[0021]

[0022] In formula (3):

[0023]

[0024] c=S c / S t , where: S c Indicates the compressive strength, S t Indicates tensile strength;

[0025] f represents a constant value;

[0026] N fIndicates the equivalent fatigue life of the unit under the current stress direction;

[0027] A and B represent constants related to the material.

[0028] S6: Based on the equivalent fatigue life of the current unit and the real-time stress-strain data of the traditional uniaxial fatigue test, the uniaxial fatigue stiffness degradation model and uniaxial fatigue strength degradation model of the composite material are established;

[0029] The uniaxial fatigue stiffness degradation model described in S6 is as follows:

[0030]

[0031] In formula (4):

[0032] E f represents the initial fatigue stiffness of the element;

[0033] ε f represents the failure strain of the element;

[0034] λ,γ are the fitting parameters related to the material.

[0035] The uniaxial fatigue strength degradation model described in S6 is as follows:

[0036]

[0037] In formula (5):

[0038] S f Represents the initial fatigue strength of the element;

[0039] α, β are the fitting parameters related to the material in the model.

[0040] S7: During the fatigue simulation calculation process, the stiffness and strength of the unit degrade with the number of fatigue cycles. At the same time, the stress ratio of the unit needs to be recalculated in each cycle. When the current stress of the unit triggers the fatigue failure criterion, the unit fails, and the stiffness and strength no longer degrade with the number of fatigue cycles. When all the units in the model fail, the fatigue simulation ends, and the equivalent life under each fatigue cycle is accumulated to calculate the fatigue life of the entire model.

[0041] The fatigue life calculation formula of the whole model described in S7 is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] The present invention considers the influence of local stress ratio changes on the fatigue life of composite materials during the fatigue process, and establishes a more accurate composite material fatigue simulation analysis method based on the equal life model, stiffness degradation model, strength degradation model and fatigue failure criterion, optimizes the prediction accuracy of the traditional model, obtains more accurate fatigue simulation calculation results, fills the gap in the field of composite material fatigue simulation calculation, provides an important reference for the reliability and safety design of composite material structures, and improves the calculation efficiency and accuracy of fatigue life.
