AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing viscoplastic phase field models cannot effectively describe the viscoplastic response of materials under temperature gradients and the thermal-damage multi-field coupling under high temperature gradients, and it is difficult to accurately predict the damage initiation and crack propagation behavior under non-uniform temperature distribution environments.

Method used

A direct coupling mechanism between the temperature field and phase field damage variables is introduced to construct a fully coupled solution system for the stress-strain field, temperature field, and fracture phase field. The synchronous update and iteration of the three-field information are achieved through the built-in solver and subroutines of ABAQUS, and the material parameters are modified to simulate the influence of temperature on the inelastic response and damage evolution of the material.

Benefits of technology

It achieves accurate prediction of material damage initiation and crack propagation behavior under non-uniform temperature distribution environment, is suitable for damage analysis of complex structures, improves prediction accuracy, and provides life assessment and safety design tools for aviation components under high-temperature service conditions.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for predicting fatigue fracture of a high-temperature discontinuous structure based on a phase field method under a variable-temperature working condition, and belongs to the technical field of fracture behavior prediction. Acquiring a stress-strain field of a coupling temperature field of the viscous-plastic material under any cyclic load; based on a stress strain field of a coupling temperature field, a phase field residual error and a phase field stiffness matrix are obtained by obtaining a fracture phase field of a viscous-plastic material under any cyclic load, a phase field variable is obtained through iterative solution, and a corresponding UEL subprogram is compiled; and correcting and updating a stress-strain field, a temperature field and a phase field by adopting a data interaction process of a UMAT subprogram, a UMATHT subprogram and a UEL subprogram, and predicting the fracture behavior of the viscous-plastic material under the temperature gradient by identifying a phase field variable and an evolution path thereof under a cyclic load.
