TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data processing, in particular to a method for predicting the bearing performance of a vanadium-added steel cylinder segment considering uneven creep degradation. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the key equipment for upgrading in the petroleum and coal chemical industry, hydrogenation reactors are widely used in clean energy projects such as oil improvement, heavy oil cracking, coal-to-synthetic natural gas, and coal direct liquefaction. The vanadium-added steel cylinder segment is the core bearing part of the forged and welded hydrogenation reactor, which can withstand thermal load for a long time in actual service conditions, and the creep damage is the main failure mode. Moreover, the material properties of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment inevitably deteriorate with the extension of service time, which adversely affects its structural bearing capacity. With the rapid development of science and technology, the suitability evaluation technology is an important way to extend the service life of the hydrogenation reactor, and accurately predicting the residual bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment after creep degradation is the core of the suitability evaluation technology of the hydrogenation reactor.
[0003] Currently, the existing method for predicting the bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment has the following two limitations:
[0004] 1. In the current engineering practice, vanadium-added steel cylinder segments are often placed with parent material and weld hanging blocks inside the hydrogenation reactor to evaluate the degradation of materials in different regions of the cylinder segment under harsh environments. However, the internal hanging blocks do not bear the working stress, which cannot reflect the damage of creep to the vanadium-added steel, affecting the prediction effect of the bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment.
[0005] 2. The wall thickness of the forged and welded vanadium-added steel cylinder segment is generally more than 150 mm, and the working pressure is generally more than 20 MPa. Under internal pressure, the stress distribution along the wall thickness direction is uneven, leading to different creep behaviors of materials at different wall thickness positions. At the same time, the forged and welded vanadium-added steel cylinder segment has parent material zone, weld zone and heat affected zone, and the creep properties of materials in different regions are also greatly different, resulting in low accuracy of the existing prediction results of the bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment, which cannot be used for suitability evaluation of the hydrogenation reactor serving beyond the period, affecting the prediction accuracy of the bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment.
[0006] Therefore, a new method for predicting the bearing performance of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment considering uneven creep degradation is proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0007] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a method for predicting the bearing performance of a vanadium-added steel cylinder segment considering uneven creep degradation, to solve the problem that the existing method cannot be used for suitability evaluation of the hydrogenation reactor serving beyond the period because it does not consider the uneven creep behavior of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment, resulting in inaccurate prediction results.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a vanadium-added steel cylinder segment bearing performance prediction method considering uneven creep degradation, the method comprising the following implementation steps:
[0009] Step 1: Constructing a creep performance data set of materials in different regions of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment;

[0014] Step 6: A finite element model of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment is established, and the stress distribution of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment under service conditions is calculated;
[0015] Step 7: According to the creep performance prediction model, the creep damage distribution is obtained;
[0016] Step 8: The creep damage distribution and the stress distribution are input into the residual strength prediction model to obtain the residual strength distribution of the material of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment after creep degradation;
[0017] Step 9: The material residual strength distribution is included in the plastic limit analysis to realize the bearing performance prediction of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment considering uneven creep degradation.

By adopting a solution approach combining data-driven, numerical simulation and plastic limit analysis, complex factors such as physical mechanisms and load history are avoided, providing a reliable method for accurate prediction of the in-service bearing performance of vanadium-added steel cylinder segments serving in creep conditions for a long time. A set of applicability evaluation techniques considering creep degradation is formed for over-service hydrogen reactors, making the bearing performance prediction of vanadium-added steel cylinder segments more accurate. A creep damage evaluation index is constructed using the time fraction method.

A residual strength prediction model of materials in different regions of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment after creep degradation is established using a data-driven method. A finite element model of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment including the weld zone, heat-affected zone and base material zone is established, and the stress distribution under service conditions is calculated. Based on the stress distribution of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment and the creep performance prediction model of materials in different regions, the creep fracture life distribution of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment is obtained, and the creep damage distribution is calculated using the time fraction method. The creep damage distribution and stress distribution of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment are input into the residual strength prediction model of the corresponding region materials of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment, and the residual strength distribution of the materials of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment after creep degradation is calculated. By incorporating the complex uneven creep degradation caused by material welding and structural bearing into the bearing performance prediction of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment, technical support is provided for the applicability evaluation of over-service hydrogen reactors. The residual strength distribution of the materials of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment after creep degradation is incorporated into plastic limit analysis to realize the bearing performance prediction of the vanadium-added steel cylinder segment considering uneven creep degradation. By using the generative adversarial neural network model to supplement the measured creep dataset, not only the demand for creep test samples of the creep empirical model is reduced, but also the creep performance prediction accuracy is improved, thus the present application has certain cost advantages.
