Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of comprehensive strength design and relates to a method for determining stress distribution rules in a contact area of ​​a fastener. Background Art

[0002] The fastener connection area is a key region for static and fatigue strength analysis of helicopter structures. As a key parameter characterizing these strengths, the analysis of the stress around the hole has always been of great importance. Determining the stress distribution pattern in the fastener connection hole contact area is crucial. This is achieved by performing theoretical analysis to determine the maximum stress in the contact area, and then applying finite element analysis to the hole edge extrusion stress to determine the maximum principal stress around the hole edge. This allows for subsequent static and fatigue strength analysis.

[0003] Defects of background technology:

[0004] At present, the average contact stress (extrusion stress) is used to characterize the contact stress in the fastener connection area. The above method is used to calculate the average contact stress for both single shear nails and double shear nails. The influence of the additional bending moment of the single shear nail on the average contact stress is not considered. Therefore, this method has limitations. The maximum principal stress at the hole edge is generally obtained by consulting relevant data to obtain the stress concentration factor. For more complex hole edge structures, since there is no appropriate stress concentration factor, only an approximate method can be used to obtain the stress concentration factor for analysis, which has a large error. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: To provide a method for determining the stress distribution law of the contact area of ​​a fastener, determine the contact stress distribution law of the fastener, and then obtain the maximum stress in the contact area and the maximum principal stress at the hole edge with higher accuracy.

[0006] Technical solution:

[0007] A method for determining stress distribution law in a fastener contact area is provided, characterized by comprising:

[0008] When the fastener connection is lap joint, the fastener load is simple shear, and the additional bending moment borne by the fastener is determined;

[0009] When the fastener connection is butt connection, the fastener load form is double shear, and it is determined that the fastener does not bear additional bending moment;

[0010] When the loading form is simple shear, the contact stress distribution pattern of the fastener is analyzed as follows: the circumferential direction around the hole follows a sinusoidal distribution pattern, and the thickness direction follows a linear distribution pattern. The location where the fastener is subjected to the maximum stress is the midpoint of the upper boundary of the fastener contact area, and the tangent of this midpoint is perpendicular to the stress direction. The contact stress distribution pattern of the fastener is analyzed as follows: the circumferential direction around the hole follows a sinusoidal distribution pattern, and the thickness direction follows a linear distribution pattern. When the loading form is double shear, the contact stress distribution pattern of the fastener is analyzed as follows: the circumferential direction around the hole follows a sinusoidal distribution pattern, and the thickness direction stress remains unchanged. The location where the fastener is subjected to the maximum stress is the midline of the fastener contact area along the thickness direction.

[0011] Maximum stress at the midpoint for:

[0012] ;

[0013] Where F is the shear load borne by the fastener; h is the thickness of the single-side plate; r is the radius of the fastener hole; and D is the diameter of the fastener hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the maximum stress on the center line for:

[0015] ;

[0016] Where F is the shear load borne by the fastener; h is the thickness of the single-side plate; r is the radius of the fastener hole; and D is the diameter of the fastener hole.

[0017] Furthermore, the maximum stress in the fastener contact area under the single shear condition is four times the maximum stress in the fastener contact area under the double shear condition.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] The stress distribution law and maximum stress calculation method of the fastener contact area in the present invention have been applied to the design of critical fatigue areas of the structure, effectively solving the problem of difficult determination of the complex stress state of the hole edge, and correcting the average extrusion stress in different situations such as single and double shear, resulting in extremely high economic benefits.

[0026] The present invention provides a method for determining stress distribution law in a fastener contact area, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0027] a) According to the different connection forms of fasteners, they are divided into lap connection and butt connection. For specific connection forms, please see the attached Figure 1-2 shown.

[0028] b) In the lap joint form, the fasteners are loaded in single shear mode; in the butt joint form, the fasteners are loaded in double shear mode.

Figure 3-4 shown.

[0031] e) Under simple shear conditions, the maximum stress calculation formula for the fastener contact area is as follows:

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] In the above formula: F is the shear load borne by the fastener; h is the thickness of the single-side plate; r is the radius of the fastener hole; is the half-hole annular angle of the fastener; D is the fastener hole diameter, and x is the thickness variable from 0 to h.

[0043] k) Taking a fastener subjected to a 1000N shear load as an example, the maximum stress at the hole edge under single shear and double shear loading conditions is explained respectively.

[0044] l) For the simple shear case, the plate thickness is 5mm, that is, the height h is 5mm, the fastener diameter is 5mm, the plate width meets the fastener edge distance requirements, that is, 4D+2=22mm, and the end distance meets the requirements of 2D+1=11mm. In this case, the maximum stress at the hole edge for:

[0047]

[0048] According to the algorithm of the present invention, the maximum stress at the hole edge is 4 times that of the previous algorithm. The average extrusion stress used in the previous algorithm is obviously too small, which poses a great risk when performing fatigue strength calculations.
