Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to fatigue damage accumulation technology under complex loads, and more particularly to a nonlinear damage accumulation prediction method that couples vibration and conventional fatigue loads. Background Technology

[0002] Engineering structures are subjected to multi-source composite loads during long-term service, among which the coupling effect of vibration loads and conventional fatigue loads has become a key cause of structural fatigue failure. Vibration loads induce local stress fluctuations through high-frequency dynamic excitation, while conventional fatigue loads lead to local plastic strain accumulation. The coupling effect of these two in the time and frequency domains significantly accelerates the initiation and propagation of microcracks. Under the combined action of vibration and conventional loads, structures are more prone to damage accumulation and fatigue problems.

[0003] Existing research has established partial prediction frameworks for coupled vibration and conventional load damage based on the Miner criterion or the local stress-strain method. However, these theoretical systems still rely on the assumption of independent load action and fail to deeply reveal the damage evolution path under the interaction of vibration and fatigue. Furthermore, traditional linear damage accumulation theories assume independent superposition of damage, neglecting the load order effect and the interaction between vibration and conventional loads. This results in linear damage accumulation theories being unable to accurately simulate the coupled damage effects of vibration and conventional fatigue. Nonlinear damage accumulation theories considering load order effects are mostly applied to single load types, such as conventional fatigue loads, and still cannot quantify the contribution of vibration damage under the coupled action of vibration and conventional fatigue. Therefore, there is currently no damage accumulation theory that can reveal the fatigue damage evolution process under the coupled action of vibration and conventional fatigue loads. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Step 2: Determine the probability density function of stress amplitude at the critical point under random vibration loading based on structural dynamics analysis.

[0049] Based on the three-dimensional finite element model of the engineering structure, random vibration loads were applied to the finite element model and structural dynamics analysis was performed. First, modal analysis was performed to obtain the first three natural frequencies of the specimen and the corresponding mode shapes. Then, a completely fixed boundary condition was applied to one side of the specimen to simulate the fixing effect of the clamp, while an acceleration excitation along the thickness direction of the specimen was applied to the other side.

[0050] The fatigue hazard points of the structure were determined by finite element analysis, and the stress power spectral density function G(f) at the hazard points was obtained. The stress contour plot of the analysis results determined the location of the fatigue hazard points, and the stress power spectral density function data of the fatigue hazard points was output through the ODB field variables.

[0051] The probability density function P(S) of the stress amplitude at the critical point is calculated based on the Dirlik model, as shown in the following formula:

[0073] The present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by at least one processor, implements the steps of the nonlinear damage accumulation prediction method coupled with vibration and conventional fatigue load as described above.

[0074] In this embodiment, 2A12 aluminum alloy was used as the material, and coupled tests of vibration and conventional fatigue loads were conducted. First, finite element analysis was performed on the test specimen to determine the critical point and obtain the peak stress at the critical point under fatigue load. Then, dynamic analysis was performed on the test specimen to obtain the stress amplitude probability density function P(S) at the critical point. Next, the vibration equivalent stress at the critical point was calculated based on the material fatigue life curve. Then, coupled damage parameters were established based on the ratio of the peak stress under conventional load to the vibration equivalent stress at the critical point and the coupled load spectrum order. Finally, a nonlinear damage accumulation model of the coupled vibration and conventional loads was established. The detailed process is as follows:

[0075] Fatigue loading was performed using an MTS809 fatigue testing machine, and random vibration loading was performed using a Suzhou Testing DC-200 machine. The coupled test spectrum consisted of a combination of random vibration and conventional fatigue loads, and the test loads are as follows: The coupled test schemes are listed in Table 1.

[0076] (a) Vibration load parameters: A broadband flat-spectrum random vibration excitation was applied, with a frequency range of 5-100Hz and a power spectral density (PSD) of 0.037g. 2 / Hz, total mean square root g RMS = 1.87g. Vibration failure time T 50 =76.3min.

[0077] (b) Conventional fatigue load: A constant amplitude fatigue load is applied, with a nominal peak stress of 189.8 MPa, a stress ratio of 0.1, and a loading frequency of 5 Hz, corresponding to a median fatigue life of N. 50 = 78512 Cycles.

[0079]

[0080] Establish a finite element model of the test specimen, and mesh it as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Static analysis yields the peak stress S at the critical point under conventional load. n,max =415.6MPa. A dynamic analysis was performed on the structure under random vibration load to obtain the power spectral density function at the critical point. The stress amplitude probability density function P(S) at the critical point was calculated using the Dirlik model. Figure 3 As shown. The fatigue life curve of the material is:

[0081] S 5.96 N = 10 18.87

[0082] The integral yields the equivalent stress of random vibration at the danger point as S. vib,eq =153.86MPa. Therefore, the expression for the coupling damage parameter k is obtained:

[0083]

[0084] Establish a nonlinear damage accumulation model for vibration and conventional loads:

[0085]

[0086] The cumulative damage calculated based on the model and the coupling of vibration and conventional load is listed in Table 2, where D... miner D represents the cumulative damage calculated based on the linear criterion. sumThe cumulative damage calculated using the nonlinear damage accumulation theory proposed in this invention is represented by "*", indicating outlier data points. To facilitate comparison of the accuracy of experimental results, the error factor *error*, calculated by the damage accumulation theory relative to the critical damage, is defined as follows:

[0087] error = (DD CR )×100%

[0088] In the formula, D represents the cumulative damage calculated based on the miner linear criterion or the cumulative damage calculated based on the proposed nonlinear damage accumulation theory. CR The critical damage is defined for the nonlinear damage accumulation model, with a value of 1.

[0090]

[0091] Using this invention to calculate the cumulative damage of vibration and conventional load coupling, compared with the miner criterion, the cumulative damage calculated by the proposed nonlinear cumulative theory is closer to the critical damage under two-level coupled spectrum loading conditions. Under four-level and ten-level coupled spectrum loading conditions, the cumulative damage calculation results of the two models are similar. Among the 17 valid data points in the coupled test, 82% of the data points have cumulative damage values ​​within ±20% of the critical damage value, demonstrating good prediction results for the cumulative damage of vibration and conventional load coupling.
