Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fatigue simulation method for local stress ratio changes caused by nonlinear deformation, belonging to the technical field of fatigue performance research of composite materials. Background Technology
[0002] Composite material fatigue is the process by which the internal structure of a material gradually deteriorates under cyclic stress or strain, leading to performance degradation and eventual failure. Fatigue failure typically involves no obvious macroscopic plastic deformation and occurs suddenly without warning. The fatigue properties of composite materials are crucial for the safety and reliability of engineering structures. Fatigue failure is one of the most common failure modes in engineering, usually occurring when the stress level is below the material's strength. Therefore, understanding the fatigue properties of materials is of great significance for preventing structural failures and ensuring the structural safety and operational safety of aircraft.
[0003] Traditional composite material fatigue simulation methods primarily rely on peak fatigue stress, employing fatigue life models, stiffness and strength degradation, and fatigue failure criteria for calculation. During these calculations, the stress ratio between the peak and trough values of the fatigue load on each element is assumed to remain constant. However, in real fatigue processes, the failure of some elements leads to local stress redistribution, causing changes in the stress ratio of the fatigue load on each element. Ignoring these stress ratio changes results in a significant decrease in the accuracy of the fatigue simulation. Therefore, proposing a fatigue simulation method that addresses the local stress ratio changes caused by nonlinear deformation is crucial. This method can resolve the accuracy degradation due to variations in element stress ratios, leading to more accurate fatigue simulation results. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides a fatigue simulation method for local stress ratio changes caused by nonlinear deformation.

[0028] S6: Based on the equivalent fatigue life of the current unit and the real-time stress-strain data of traditional uniaxial fatigue tests, establish a uniaxial fatigue stiffness degradation model and a uniaxial fatigue strength degradation model for composite materials.
[0029] The uniaxial fatigue stiffness degradation model described in S6 is as follows:

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