Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fatigue life prediction of helicopter composite materials, and relates to a composite material fatigue temperature rise prediction method and device combined with a machine learning algorithm. Background Art

[0002] Bearingless rotor technology is one of the most advanced core rotor technologies currently. Fiber-reinforced composite structures have higher specific strength and specific stiffness, making them more advantageous when applied to bearingless rotors. However, due to the helicopter's unique hovering, side flight and other flight modes, the flexible beam structure is exposed to a complex service environment of vibration and alternating loads. At the same time, due to its relatively low thermal conductivity, the composite flexible beam structure will experience a significant temperature rise when subjected to fatigue or vibration loads. The thermal stress caused by the temperature increase of the structure, the degradation of the composite material's stiffness / strength, and the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients of adjacent structures will accelerate the damage and degradation of the structure, seriously endangering the safety of the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0074] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to examples.

[0075] [1] proposed a fatigue temperature rise prediction model

[0076] Taking composite laminates as the research object and composite tension-tension fatigue tests under different stress levels and loading frequencies as the model object, a composite surface fatigue temperature rise model is proposed. The temperature rise of the composite test piece within one loading cycle is as follows:

[0083] The temperature rise of the composite material specimen during one loading cycle is:

[0084]

[0085] where ΔT is the fatigue temperature rise during one loading cycle, ρ is the density of the material, V is the volume of the composite structure, and c is the specific heat capacity of the material.

[0086] Under a certain number of cycles of loading, the fatigue temperature rise of the composite material test piece is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where T is the fatigue temperature rise and n is the number of cyclic loading.

[0089] [2] Random Forest Algorithm

[0090] In order to further efficiently and accurately predict the temperature changes on the surface of composite laminates, machine learning is combined with the random forest algorithm to achieve accurate prediction of the surface temperature rise of composite materials under tension-tension fatigue at different stress levels and loading frequencies.

[0091] The training set is constructed using the composite material tension-tension fatigue surface temperature rise data obtained from the experiment, in which the loading frequency, stress level and current fatigue cycle number are used as the training set input, and the surface temperature rise is used as the training set output.

[0092] [3] Conduct fatigue tests

[0093] Conduct tension-tension fatigue tests on composite materials at different stress levels and loading frequencies, obtain the tension-tension fatigue surface temperature rise curve of the composite materials, and record the normalized fatigue cycle number n / N f , stress level, loading frequency, and surface temperature rise.

[0094] Taking 3232A / S4C10-800 glass fiber composite laminate as an example, a fiber direction tension-tension fatigue temperature rise test was carried out, with a stress ratio of R = 0.1, fatigue stress levels of 75%, 70%, 65%, 60%, and 55% of the maximum load level, and loading frequencies of 10Hz and 27Hz. The scatter plot of surface temperature rise versus cycle number at different stress levels is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 The scatter plot of surface temperature rise versus cycle number under different loading frequencies is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 .

[0095] [4] Fatigue temperature rise prediction combined with fatigue temperature rise prediction model

[0096] Based on the fatigue temperature rise prediction model and test data, more surface fatigue temperature rise curves of test specimens at different stress levels and loading frequencies were predicted.

The loading frequency, stress level, and current number of fatigue cycles are used as input variables, and the surface temperature rise is used as the output.

[0100] The correlation between the prediction results and the test results was analyzed. The Pearson correlation coefficients at different stress levels and loading frequencies were 0.99 and 1.00 respectively. The trained random forest model can accurately predict the real-time temperature of the test piece surface. The correlation analysis diagram of fatigue temperature rise of the test piece at different stress levels predicted by the random forest algorithm is shown in the figure below. Figure 6The correlation analysis diagram of fatigue temperature rise of test pieces under different loading frequencies predicted by random forest algorithm is shown in the figure below. Figure 7 .
