Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material fatigue life prediction, and in particular to a metal fatigue life prediction method under laser shock strengthening. Background Art
[0002] The roughness of the metal surface is related to the forming method used. For example, the metal specimen obtained by additive manufacturing has a higher surface roughness than the metal specimen obtained by forging, but this will introduce many sharp micro-notches on the material surface and significantly reduce the fatigue strength of the metal specimen. At the same time, laser shock peening (LSP), as a material surface treatment technology, can improve the fatigue strength of metal specimens and extend their fatigue life. However, when using high-energy laser pulses to irradiate the material surface, it will induce severe plastic deformation on the metal surface, causing the roughness of the material surface to change, causing an extremely complex fatigue failure mechanism, and affecting the fatigue life prediction accuracy of the metal after laser shock peening. Therefore, when predicting the fatigue life of metal after laser shock peening (LSP), accurately simulating the evolution of the metal surface roughness after laser shock peening and incorporating its microscopic characteristics into the numerical prediction model is the key to improving the fatigue life prediction accuracy.
[0003] Based on the above situation, the present invention proposes a metal fatigue life prediction method under laser shock strengthening with high prediction accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage that in the existing numerical simulation of laser shock peening, the surface of the sample is usually set to an ideal smooth surface without considering the initial roughness of the sample, and the differences in the uneven shock wave acting on the peaks and valleys of the micro-asperities and the roots of the micro-asperities in laser shock peening are ignored, resulting in a large error between the presented surface and the actual material surface after impact, which in turn leads to the low prediction accuracy of the model for metal fatigue life. The present invention proposes a metal fatigue life prediction method under laser shock peening with high prediction accuracy.

[0007] Roughness evolution simulation: numerical simulation of laser shock peening of the rough surface of a two-dimensional round rod model. The uneven impact pressure causes plastic deformation between the peaks and valleys of the rough surface and reshapes the surface roughness. Then, displacement data of the sampling nodes on the surface of the two-dimensional round rod model is obtained. The displacement data is added to the initial coordinates of the corresponding nodes to obtain new profile data that can directly reflect the change in surface roughness of the sample after laser shock peening.

The stress-strain curve of the specimen was fitted using the Ramberg-Osgood equation. The material properties of the two-dimensional tensile fatigue specimen model were assigned using the fitted stress-strain curve of the specimen. The Ramberg-Osgood equation is specifically as follows:

[0101] The above steps predict fatigue life based on the surface roughness evolution results after laser shock peening by combining the Basquin-Manson-Coffin formula with continuum damage mechanics. This not only fully considers the nonlinear characteristics of the material such as cyclic hardening and softening with the help of the Basquin-Manson-Coffin formula, but also uses the maximum strain of each unit to reflect the local complex stress-strain state of the sample under the consideration of the microstructural evolution of the roughness surface. It truly simulates the progressive fatigue damage process of the sample after comprehensive consideration of laser shock peening, which can effectively improve the fatigue life prediction accuracy of the metal after laser shock peening.
