Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of advanced aircraft, aircraft engines, the heart of aircraft, face significant challenges. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), with their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior ultra-high-temperature performance, offer significant potential for improving aircraft engine weight, temperature resistance, and performance, making them a key technology in the development of advanced aircraft engines.

[0003] Currently, there is an urgent need for the development and application of CMCs in typical aircraft engine components, such as turbine outer rings, turbine blades, flame tubes, and heat shields. Turbine blades, in particular, present challenges in their fabrication due to their complex structure and demanding loads. Chemical vapor deposition (CVI), one of the earliest CMC fabrication processes in China, offers greater adaptability to complex structures by allowing similar CMCs to be riveted together. However, this process also presents new challenges in the structural and strength design of CMC rivet connections.

[0004] In a high-temperature air oxidation environment, oxidizing gases diffuse through the pores of CMCs into the material, reacting with the interface, fibers, and matrix to form oxidation products, which in turn degrade the material's performance. The connection efficiency of CMC rivet joints is easily reduced in high-temperature oxidation environments due to the pores on the outer surface of the CMC rivets, the pores on the surface of the CMC double-joint structure, and the local pores at the connection interface. Currently, there is a lack of engineering modeling and analysis methods for the interface of CMC rivet joints after oxidation, which poses difficulties in determining the residual strength of CMC rivet joint structures after oxidation.

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for modeling the interface of a rivet connection unit of a ceramic matrix composite material after oxidation. The method takes into account engineering applicability and uses a parameter fitting method to obtain the relationship between the bonding strength, fracture energy and oxidation test of the CMCs rivet connection unit; the randomness of the interface bonding strength is considered using a Weibull distribution model; and finally, based on commercial finite element analysis software, a cohesive interface model of the CMCs rivet connection after oxidation is established considering the random strength, laying the foundation for the strength design and evaluation of complex CMCs structures. Specifically, see Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] S1. Oxidizing a plurality of CMCs rivet connection specimens at a plurality of oxidation times to obtain oxidized specimens, and performing a rivet ejection test on the oxidized specimens to obtain load-displacement curves;

[0038] S2. Obtaining cohesion model parameters under a designed oxidation time based on all the load-displacement curves, wherein the cohesion model parameters include initial ejection strength and initial fracture energy;

[0039] S3. Determine the ejection strength of the CMCs rivet connection interface unit using a Weibull distribution model based on the initial ejection strength;

[0040] S4. Establishing a cohesive interface model according to the ejection strength and the initial fracture energy.

[0041] Furthermore, when implementing step S1, at least three oxidation times are selected, and a corresponding oxidation temperature can be set for each oxidation time. By performing an ejection test on the oxidized specimen, a load-displacement curve of each oxidized specimen can be obtained, and then the variation pattern of the bonding performance of the CMCs rivet connection interface with the oxidation time can be obtained. The rivet ejection strength at other oxidation times can be obtained by interpolation based on existing test results.

[0057] S42, assigning the ejection strength and the initial fracture energy to the cohesion model, and applying boundary conditions and loads to complete interface modeling.
