Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline damage calculation, and in particular to a method and device for calculating pipeline girth weld fracture damage. Background Art

[0002] The acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of energy demand have made high-grade steel, large-diameter, and high-pressure transmission the inevitable choice for natural gas pipeline projects. Some major national pipeline projects have gradually adopted X80 as the preferred steel grade for trunk pipelines. However, with the increase in the number of X80 steel grade pipelines and the rapid development of natural gas hydrogen blending technology, the risk of girth weld cracking has increased significantly and has become the main factor in pipeline failure.

[0003] In related technologies, the GTN model can be used to describe the ductile fracture process of materials. From a microscopic perspective, the plastic deformation and damage of materials under stress are linked to the nucleation, growth, and aggregation behaviors of micropores at the microscopic level. The deformation and damage process of materials under the macroscopic state can be simulated by controlling the evolution of micropores. It can also be achieved by establishing a peridynamics-finite element coupling model, applying load boundary conditions, and using user-defined subroutines to perform calculations to predict the ultimate strain capacity of high-grade steel pipeline girth welds.

[0004] However, in the related technologies, when solving discontinuity problems such as crack propagation, the singularity of the crack tip cannot be effectively resolved. Especially during high-speed crack propagation, it is difficult to accurately capture the dynamic behavior of the crack tip. The mesh distortion and singularity assumptions may lead to numerical instability, resulting in certain limitations in predicting the cracking behavior of circumferential welds. It fails to fully reflect the impact of material properties in different regions on crack propagation under actual working conditions, and urgently needs improvement. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The following describes a method and device for calculating pipeline girth weld fracture damage according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the fact that the singularity of the crack tip cannot be effectively solved as mentioned in the above background technology, especially in the process of high-speed crack propagation, it is difficult to accurately capture the dynamic behavior of the crack tip, resulting in certain limitations in predicting the cracking behavior of the girth weld, and failing to fully reflect the influence of material properties in different regions on crack propagation under actual working conditions. The present invention provides a method for calculating the fracture damage of a pipeline girth weld. In this method, the bond constant of a material point simplified from the girth weld of a target pipeline can be calculated, and then the single bond force and the total bond force can be calculated. According to the motion influence information of the total bond force on the material point, the elongation of the bonds of different material points is determined, and based on the elongation of the bonds and the corresponding critical elongation, the damage value of the girth weld of the target pipeline is calculated. By considering the geometric structure of the weld area and the material performance characteristics, a near-field dynamics method is adopted to construct a numerical model for the fracture failure of the girth weld of the target pipeline, which can accurately simulate the brittle fracture process caused by the dynamic propagation of the crack, and fully consider the influence of the parent material area, the weld area and the heat-affected zone, so as to provide an efficient and reliable analysis tool for pipeline safety assessment and life prediction. As a result, the problem in related technologies that the singularity of the crack tip cannot be effectively resolved, especially during high-speed crack propagation, it is difficult to accurately capture the dynamic behavior of the crack tip, resulting in certain limitations in predicting the cracking behavior of the circumferential weld and failure to fully reflect the impact of material properties in different regions on crack propagation under actual working conditions.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for calculating pipeline girth weld fracture damage according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the calculation method of the pipeline girth weld fracture damage includes the following steps: In step S101, at least one material point corresponding to the girth weld of the target pipeline is obtained, and the bond constants between different material points are calculated.

[0033] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present invention mainly calculates the fracture damage of the girth weld of high-strength steel. The girth weld is a crucial connection part in pipeline engineering, and its quality directly affects the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system. The embodiment of the present invention can determine the corresponding material point for the high-strength steel pipeline.

[0034] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention can perform material point discretization based on the target pipeline girth weld, such as the high-strength steel pipeline girth weld, to obtain at least one material point, and calculate the bond constants between different material points through the corresponding calculation formula.

[0035] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining at least one material point corresponding to the target pipeline girth weld includes: simplifying the target pipeline girth weld into a target two-dimensional tetrahedral model having at least one of a base material area, a heat-affected zone, and a weld area; performing material point discretization processing on the target two-dimensional tetrahedral model to obtain base material points located in the base material area, heat-affected material points located in the heat-affected zone, and weld material points located in the weld area in the near field; and obtaining at least one material point based on the base material points, the heat-affected material points, and the weld material points.

[0036] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present invention can approximate the target pipeline to a plane stress state according to the structural characteristics of the target pipeline with a large diameter and thin wall, so the target pipeline with a three-dimensional cylindrical structure is simplified into a target two-dimensional tetrahedron model, as shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 2 As shown, the length direction is the axial direction of the pipeline, and the width direction is the direction of the pipeline wall thickness. The model may include, but is not limited to, a parent material area 201, a heat-affected zone 202, a weld area 203, etc., and the present invention does not impose specific restrictions. Among them, the parent material area 201 can represent the X80 steel grade of the target pipeline main body material, which is distributed on both sides of the weld; the weld area 203 can represent the area filled with welding materials, which is usually located in the center of the model; the heat-affected zone 202 can represent the area between the weld area 203 and the parent material area 201 where the material properties change due to the influence of welding heating, and the width is generally determined according to experiments.

[0037] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention can discretize the material points of the target two-dimensional tetrahedron model, and then obtain the parent material points located in the parent material area 201, the heat-affected material points located in the heat-affected zone 202, and the weld material points located in the weld area 203 in the near field. Figure 3 shown.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention can determine the family domain members within the near field range of each material point and store their relationships in a correlation array. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 In the formula, i is the number of the material point, numfam is the number of family members, pointfam is the starting number of the material point family members in the family group, and nodefam is the material point family group number.

[0039] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, calculating the bond constant between different material points includes: when the different material points are located in the same area, using a first bond constant calculation formula to calculate the bond constant; when the different material points are located in different areas, using a second bond constant calculation formula to calculate the bond constant. The expression of the first bond constant calculation formula may be, but is not limited to,: , in, is the bond constant, E is the elastic modulus of the corresponding area, is the distance between material points, is the radius of the near field.

[0040] The expression of the second bond constant calculation formula can be, but is not limited to,: , in, is the elastic modulus of the current material point, is the elastic modulus of the material point of the family domain member, is the distance between material points, is the radius of the near field.

[0041] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present invention, the bond constant can be used to describe the parameter of the interaction strength between two material points. Since the weld zone, heat-affected zone and parent material zone have different material properties, the difference in bond constants can accurately reflect the mechanical differences in these zones. By calculating the bond constants in different zones, the propagation path of cracks in different material zones can be better simulated. Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a bond composed of material points in the same region and in different regions, wherein: and The bond between is the bond between the heat-affected zone 202 and the weld zone 203, which is a cross-region bond; and The keys between are keys of the same weld zone 203 and belong to the same area.

[0042] In some embodiments, when calculating the bond constants between different material points, the embodiment of the present invention can first obtain the crack information of the target pipeline girth weld, and its schematic diagram can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, initial cracks are set along angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°.

[0043] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the material points are located in the same area, the calculation formula of the bond constant is the first bond constant calculation formula, and its expression can be but is not limited to: , in, is the bond constant, E is the elastic modulus of the corresponding area, is the distance between material points, is the radius of the near field.

[0044] When the material points are located in different regions, the calculation formula of the bond constant is the second bond constant calculation formula, and its expression can be but is not limited to: , in, is the elastic modulus of the current material point, is the elastic modulus of the material point of the family domain member, is the distance between material points, is the radius of the near field.

[0045] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the material point and its neighborhood members are in different areas (for example, the weld area and the heat-affected zone), in order to better describe the interaction between two different materials, the average value of the elastic modulus of the two materials can be used, thereby better reflecting the mechanical transition between different materials and more accurately simulating the cracking behavior.

[0046] In step S102, the single bond forces of the bonds at different material points are calculated using the bond constants, and the total bond forces of all material points are calculated based on the single bond forces.

[0047] In some embodiments, when calculating the total bond force, the embodiments of the present invention first calculate the single bond force based on the bond constant, and the calculation formula can be but is not limited to: , in, represents the coordinates of the material point after deformation, represents the coordinates of the material point after deformation, represents the coordinates of the material point before deformation, represents the coordinates of the material point before deformation, represents the bond strain, i.e. the elongation of the bond. The denominator represents the bond length after deformation minus the initial length of the bond. represents the direction vector after the bond is deformed, Indicates the bond constant. When calculating the bond force, it is multiplied by the bond constant value corresponding to each bond. represents the corrected volume, Represents the surface correction factor.

[0048] Furthermore, after calculating the single bond force, the embodiment of the present invention can adopt integral summation to calculate the total bond force.

[0049] In step S103, the stretching rates of the bonds at different material points are determined according to the motion influence information of the total bond force on at least one material point.

[0050] It is understandable that the stretching rate of the bond is caused by the influence of the total bond force on the movement of the material point, which in turn causes the change in the displacement of the material point. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention determines the stretching rate of the bond of different material points based on the information of the movement influence of the total bond force on at least one material point. The calculation formula of the bond stretching rate can be but is not limited to: , in, represents the coordinates of the material point after deformation, represents the coordinates of the material point after deformation, represents the coordinates of the material point before deformation, Represents the coordinates of the material point before deformation.

[0051] In step S104, based on the material information of the target pipeline girth weld, the critical elongation rates corresponding to different material point bonds are calculated.

[0052] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the critical stretching rate is related to the material information of the target pipeline girth weld. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can calculate the corresponding critical stretching rate according to the material information of the target pipeline girth weld.

[0053] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, calculating the critical stretching rates corresponding to different material point keys includes: when the different material points are located in the same area, using a first critical stretching rate calculation formula to calculate the critical stretching rate; when the different material points are located in different areas, using a second critical stretching rate calculation formula to calculate the critical stretching rate. The first critical stretching rate calculation formula may be, but is not limited to: , in, is the tensile strength of the material, is the elastic modulus.

[0054] The second critical elongation calculation formula may be, but is not limited to,: , in, and are the elastic modulus and critical stretch rate of the current material point, and are the elastic modulus and critical elongation of the domain members, respectively.

[0055] In some embodiments, when calculating the critical stretch rate, for a material point and its neighborhood members in the same area, the critical stretch rate calculation formula is a first critical stretch rate calculation formula, and its expression may be, but is not limited to,: , in, is the tensile strength of the material, is the elastic modulus.

[0056] In some embodiments, when calculating the critical stretch rate in the embodiments of the present invention, for a material point and its neighborhood members in different regions, the calculation formula of the critical stretch rate is a second critical stretch rate calculation formula, and its expression may be but is not limited to: , in, and are the elastic modulus and critical stretch rate of the current material point, and are the elastic modulus and critical elongation of the domain members, respectively.

[0057] In order to reflect the mechanical properties of material points in different regions, the embodiment of the present invention can adopt a weighted average based on elastic modulus. The elastic modulus is a measure of the rigidity of the material. A larger elastic modulus corresponds to a larger deformation resistance. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention plays a weighting role in the calculation of the critical elongation rate of different regions.

[0058] In step S105, the damage value of the target pipeline girth weld is calculated based on the key elongation rate and the critical elongation rate.

[0059] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present invention can calculate the elongation rate of each key and compare it with the critical elongation rate corresponding to each key to determine whether the key is broken, thereby obtaining the damage value of the target pipeline girth weld.

[0060] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, based on the elongation rate and critical elongation rate of the key, the damage value of the girth weld of the target pipeline is calculated, including: judging whether the elongation rate of the key is greater than the critical elongation rate; if the elongation rate of the key is greater than the critical elongation rate, judging that the corresponding key is broken, and counting the first number of all broken keys; if the elongation rate of the key is less than or equal to the critical elongation rate, judging that the corresponding key is not broken, and counting the second number of all unbroken keys; based on the first number and the second number, calculating the damage value. The calculation formula of the damage value can be, but is not limited to, as follows: , in, Describe the extent of the injury, represents the number of broken bonds of a material point in the near field, Indicates the total number of keys.

[0061] In some embodiments, if the stretch rate of a bond is greater than a critical stretch rate, the corresponding bond is determined to be broken, and the bond state function is set to 0, and then the first number of all broken bonds is counted.

[0062] In some embodiments, if the stretch rate of a bond is less than or equal to the critical stretch rate, the corresponding bond is determined to be not broken, and the bond state function is set to 1, and then the second number of all broken bonds is counted.

[0063] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the damage value can be calculated according to the first quantity and the second quantity. The calculation formula of the damage value can be, but is not limited to,: , in, Describe the extent of the injury, represents the number of unbroken bonds of a material point in the near field, Indicates the total number of keys, Represents a key state function.

[0064] Among them, in the embodiment of the present invention, the key state function It is related to the point force between material points and the elongation between the material points. When the bond strain exceeds the critical strain, the bond will break, the direct point force of the material point disappears, and the material point is damaged. Its expression can be but is not limited to: .

[0065] The working principle of the method for calculating the fracture damage of a pipeline girth weld proposed in an embodiment of the present invention is introduced below in conjunction with a specific embodiment.

[0066] in, Figure 7 The present invention is a flowchart of the working principle of a method for calculating pipeline girth weld fracture damage according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] Step S701: Obtain material information corresponding to the pipeline girth weld.

[0068] Step S702: simplifying the pipeline girth weld into a two-dimensional tetrahedron model.

[0069] Step S703: discretizing the material points of the two-dimensional tetrahedral model to obtain material points corresponding to the base material area, the heat affected zone and the weld area in the near field.

[0070] Step S704: Calculate the bond constant.
