[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

"And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0047] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the embodiments of this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a technical feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0048] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0049] The execution subject of the fatigue life assessment method for welded joints of hull after shot peening in this application embodiment can be the fatigue life assessment device for welded joints of hull after shot peening provided in this application embodiment, or different types of electronic devices such as server equipment, physical host, or user equipment (UE) that integrate the fatigue life assessment device for welded joints of hull after shot peening. The fatigue life assessment device for welded joints of hull after shot peening can be implemented in hardware or software. The UE can be a terminal device such as a smartphone, tablet computer, laptop computer, handheld computer, desktop computer, or personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0050] This invention provides a method and related equipment for assessing the fatigue life of welded joints in a ship hull after shot peening, which will be described below.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the fatigue life assessment method for welded joints in a ship hull after shot peening provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the fatigue life assessment method for welded joints in a ship hull after shot peening includes:

[0052] S101. Obtain the initial SN curve of the target hull welding node before shot peening.

[0053] The target hull welding node refers to the hull welding node that requires fatigue life assessment after shot peening. For example, it could be the longitudinal girder penetration node of a certain type of aluminum alloy hull. Figure 2 The image shown is a schematic diagram of a longitudinal rib through-cabin node model for a certain type of aluminum alloy ship hull.

[0054] The S&P / SN curve is used to describe the fatigue life of a material or structure under different stress levels. In the fatigue assessment of welded joints in ship hulls, the initial S&P / SN curve is used to describe the stress variation range of a target ship hull welded joint that has not undergone shot peening under cyclic loading. ΔS s The relationship between the number of failure cycles N and the number of failure cycles is usually expressed in power law form:

[0055]

[0056] in, C d and h These are material constants, obtained by fitting standard fatigue test data.

[0057] Specifically, for welded joints, based on fracture mechanics theory and through numerous fatigue test results of welded joints, SN curves applicable to different types of welded joints under the same material have been summarized. The initial SN curve before shot peening can be obtained according to the material and shape of the target hull welded node, providing a "zero-treatment" baseline for fatigue life of the hull welded node, which can be used to compare the performance improvement after shot peening.

[0058] S102. By analyzing the fatigue performance data of the sample welded nodes before and after shot peening through experiments, the fatigue performance influence coefficient introduced after shot peening is determined. The sample welded nodes are welded nodes with the same material and shape as the target hull welded nodes.

[0059] Among them, the sample welding nodes are welding nodes with the same material and shape as the target ship hull welding nodes, and can be divided into two groups of samples: samples that have not been shot peened and samples that have been shot peened.

[0060] Fatigue performance data includes fatigue performance data before and after shot peening. This data can be obtained by conducting constant amplitude fatigue tests on two sets of samples. The fatigue performance data characterizes data related to fatigue testing, such as the number of cycles N, residual stress data, hardness data, and surface roughness data for different stress variation ranges ΔS.

[0061] The fatigue performance influence coefficient characterizes the amplification factor of fatigue strength after shot peening relative to that without shot peening.

[0062] Specifically, by conducting group fatigue tests on sample welded joints before and after shot peening, recording stress-life (SN) fatigue performance data, and comparing and analyzing the fatigue performance data, a fatigue performance influence coefficient is derived. This coefficient allows for the quantification of the specific improvement in the fatigue life of the hull structure caused by shot peening, enabling the correction of the initial SN curve. Understandably, this embodiment eliminates systematic errors caused by material / geometric differences by experimentally analyzing the fatigue performance data of sample welded joints before and after shot peening, thus enabling precise quantification of the contribution of shot peening to fatigue life.

[0063] S103. The initial SN curve is corrected according to the fatigue performance influence coefficient to obtain the corrected SN curve.

[0064] Specifically, parameters in the initial SN curve, such as the range of equivalent structural stress variation, can be corrected based on the fatigue performance influence coefficient. This allows for the generation of a corrected SN curve after dimensionless conversion of the equivalent structural stress variation range in the initial SN curve. Understandably, since the fatigue performance influence coefficient quantifies the specific improvement in the fatigue life of the hull structure after shot peening, correcting the initial SN curve based on the fatigue performance influence coefficient enables the corrected SN curve to directly reflect the fatigue strength gain brought about by shot peening. Furthermore, by utilizing the dimensionless nature of the fatigue performance influence coefficient, while maintaining the compatibility of the SN curve correction specifications, the fatigue life prediction error is controlled within the allowable engineering range, significantly improving the quantitative evaluation accuracy of the shot peening effect on hull weld joints.

[0065] In one specific implementation, the fatigue performance influence coefficient includes the residual stress influence coefficient. k r Surface hardening influence coefficient k h Surface roughness influence coefficient k s Let's take an example to illustrate:

[0066] To more intuitively illustrate the relationship between the fatigue performance influence coefficient and the initial SN curve, the initial SN curve expression is first transformed into a double logarithmic form, as follows:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] Furthermore, let's assume the modified SN curve expression for shot peening is as follows:

[0070]

[0071] Based on extensive SN curve data provided by industry associations such as AMSE, IIW, and DNV, it is shown that for nodes of the same material and similar structural form, the slope is usually a fixed value. Based on the principle of equal slopes, assuming m1=m2=m, when both the modified SN curve and the initial SN curve are at their fatigue limits, then:

[0072]

[0073] The fatigue strength relationship between the welded joints of the sample before and after shot peening can be expressed by the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] Therefore:

[0076] In the formula: σ sp The fatigue strength after shot peening; σ 0 represents the fatigue strength before shot peening.

[0077] In summary, the expression for the corrected SN curve after shot peening is as follows:

[0078]

[0079] Therefore, the modified SN curve is a parallel line with a constant slope and an overall leftward shift, which intuitively reflects the fatigue strength gain brought about by shot peening.

[0080] S104. Based on the range of equivalent structural stress change of the target hull weld joint after shot peening and the modified SN curve, evaluate the fatigue life of the target hull weld joint after shot peening.

[0081] The equivalent structural stress variation range is the range by which the stress at a certain point or region in the structure changes from the minimum value to the maximum value under fatigue load.

[0082] Specifically, by substituting the equivalent structural stress variation range into the modified SN curve, the fatigue life can be calculated. Understandably, since the modified SN curve utilizes dimensionless coefficients for correction and can accurately quantify the specific improvement in fatigue life of the hull structure caused by shot peening, the fatigue life can be calculated directly by substituting the equivalent structural stress variation range into the modified SN curve. This assessment method is simple and accurate, improving the precision of fatigue life assessment.

[0083] In summary, the fatigue life assessment method for ship hull weld nodes after shot peening provided in this embodiment of the invention obtains the initial SN curve of the target ship hull weld node before shot peening, providing a "zero-treatment" baseline for the fatigue life of the weld node, which is used to compare the performance improvement after shot peening. By experimentally analyzing the fatigue performance data of the sample weld node before and after shot peening, the fatigue performance influence coefficient introduced after shot peening is determined. The sample weld node is a weld node with the same material and shape as the target ship hull weld node, eliminating systematic errors caused by material and geometric differences, thereby accurately quantifying the contribution of shot peening to fatigue life. Based on the fatigue performance influence coefficient, the initial... The initial SN curve is corrected to obtain a modified SN curve, which can intuitively reflect the fatigue strength gain brought about by shot peening. Furthermore, by combining the fatigue performance influence coefficient, which is dimensionless, the fatigue life prediction error is controlled within the allowable engineering range while maintaining the compatibility of the SN curve correction specifications. This significantly improves the quantitative evaluation accuracy of the shot peening effect on hull weld nodes. Based on the equivalent structural stress change range of the target hull weld node after shot peening and the modified SN curve, the fatigue life of the target hull weld node after shot peening is evaluated, improving the accuracy of fatigue life assessment of hull weld nodes after shot peening.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fatigue performance data includes residual pressure, and the fatigue performance influence coefficient includes residual stress influence coefficient; step S102 includes:

[0085] S201. The residual stress distribution of the sample weld joints before and after shot peening is measured experimentally.

[0086] S202. Based on fracture mechanics theory and fatigue material theory, calculate the residual stress influence coefficient in conjunction with the residual stress distribution.

[0087] The residual stress distribution includes the residual stress distribution before and after shot peening. The residual stress influence coefficient reflects the effect of the residual compressive stress introduced by shot peening on fatigue life.

[0088] Fracture mechanics theory focuses on the formation and propagation of cracks within materials. Residual compressive stress can inhibit crack propagation, thereby improving the fatigue life of materials. Materials fatigue theory describes the performance degradation and eventual failure of materials under cyclic loading, and residual compressive stress has a significant impact on the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks. Therefore, based on fracture mechanics and materials fatigue theories, this paper determines the residual stress influence coefficient and considers the impact of the physical mechanism by which residual stress inhibits crack propagation on the fatigue life of materials.

[0089] Specifically, based on fracture mechanics theory and fatigue material theory, the residual stress distribution before and after shot peening is compared and analyzed, and the residual stress influence coefficient is calculated. By accurately determining the residual stress influence coefficient, the fatigue life of the material after shot peening can be predicted more accurately, thereby optimizing the design and improving the reliability of the structure.

[0090] In one specific implementation, the residual stress influence coefficient k r The specific quantitative analysis methods are as follows:

[0091] For the SN curve, the improvement in fatigue life can be regarded as a scaling effect on the stress range. Based on this premise, a mean stress correction curve with similar function is derived. Referring to the Dietmann curve, it can be expressed as:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula: σ a The stress amplitude before correction; σ -1 The fatigue limit is when the stress ratio R = -1; σ m The average stress before correction; σ u This represents the tensile strength of the material, i.e., the residual stress distribution before shot peening.

[0094] If the peak value of the residual compressive stress after relaxation and stabilization is... σ rr Consider it as the average stress under shot peening, that is, the residual stress distribution after shot peening, and assume... σ a This is the fatigue limit at this point, and its relationship with σ -1 The ratio is the residual stress influence coefficient. k r Under this premise, we can obtain:

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Substituting the residual stress distribution before and after shot peening into the above formula, the residual stress influence coefficient is calculated. k r The residual stress influence coefficient was achieved. k r Precise quantitative calculations.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fatigue performance data includes hardness, and the fatigue performance influence coefficient includes a surface hardening influence coefficient; step S102 includes:

[0099] S301. The surface hardness of the sample weld joints before and after shot peening is measured experimentally.

[0100] S302. Based on the material hardening theory and fatigue material theory, calculate the surface hardening influence coefficient in conjunction with the surface hardness.

[0101] Surface hardness includes the surface hardness before and after shot peening. The surface hardening influence coefficient reflects the impact of shot peening-induced surface hardening on fatigue life.

[0102] Hardening theories, including work hardening (cold work hardening) and phase transformation hardening, explain the mechanism of increased surface hardness in materials. Fatigue material theory, particularly regarding the influence of surface treatment on fatigue crack initiation and propagation, provides the theoretical basis. Therefore, based on material hardening theory and fatigue material theory, the surface hardening influence coefficient is determined, considering the physical mechanism by which surface hardness increases the yield threshold and its impact on material fatigue life.

[0103] Specifically, based on the theories of material hardening and fatigue materials, the surface hardness before and after shot peening is compared and analyzed, and the surface hardness influence coefficient is calculated. By accurately determining the surface hardening influence coefficient, the fatigue life of the material after shot peening can be predicted more accurately, thereby optimizing the design and improving the reliability of the structure.

[0104] In one specific implementation, the surface hardening influence coefficient k h The specific quantitative analysis methods are as follows:

[0105] When considering the actual effect of hardness on a specimen, similar to the calculation principle of the residual stress influence coefficient, it is necessary to base it on a stable value after a certain number of cycles to avoid overestimating its strengthening effect. The modified Goodman formula proposed by Arakawa et al. demonstrates that the hardness of a material exhibits an approximately linear relationship with its yield strength, tensile strength, and other mechanical parameters, as shown in the following formula:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] In the formula: HV SP To determine the surface hardness after shot peening. HV virgin The surface hardness is before shot peening.

[0109] Substituting the surface hardness before and after shot peening into the above formula, the surface hardening influence coefficient is calculated. k h The surface hardening influence coefficient was achieved. k h Precise quantitative calculations.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fatigue performance data includes roughness, and the fatigue performance influence coefficient includes a surface roughness influence coefficient; step S102 includes:

[0111] S401. The surface roughness of the sample weld joints before and after shot peening is measured experimentally.

[0112] S402. Based on the relationship between the surface coefficient and the fatigue limit, calculate the surface roughness influence coefficient in conjunction with the surface roughness.

[0113] Surface roughness includes the surface roughness before and after shot peening. The surface roughness influence coefficient reflects the impact of surface roughness changes caused by shot peening on fatigue life.

[0114] The relationship between surface coefficient and fatigue limit, proposed by Buch, characterizes the impact of variations in surface roughness on the fatigue performance of a sample. Therefore, based on this relationship, a surface roughness influence coefficient is determined, considering the physical mechanism of stress concentration effects caused by surface roughness on the material's fatigue life.

[0115] Specifically, based on the relationship between surface coefficient and fatigue limit, the surface roughness before and after shot peening is compared and analyzed, and the surface roughness influence coefficient is calculated. By accurately determining the surface roughness influence coefficient, the fatigue life of the material after shot peening can be predicted more accurately, thereby optimizing the design and improving the reliability of the structure.

[0116] In one specific implementation, the surface roughness influence coefficient k s The specific quantitative analysis methods are as follows:

[0117] The relationship between the surface coefficient and fatigue limit proposed by Buch can be used to characterize the effect of changes in sample surface roughness on its fatigue performance. The surface coefficient can be expressed by the following formula:

[0118]

[0119] In the formula: C S For surface coefficient, σ dsThe fatigue strength is defined as the fatigue strength of any surface condition without surface polishing. σ d The fatigue strength is the result of fine polishing.

[0120] Due to surface coefficient C S With the surface roughness parameter maximum profile height R z Relatedly, as surface roughness increases, both the surface coefficient and fatigue limit decrease. According to... C S With R z The relationship and its negative correlation are determined using the surface roughness influence coefficient. k s The formula for assessing local fatigue strength is as follows:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula: R ZSP The surface roughness after shot peening. R ZNP This represents the surface roughness before shot peening.

[0123] Substituting the surface roughness before and after shot peening into the above formula, the surface roughness influence coefficient is calculated. k s The surface roughness influence coefficient was achieved. k s Precise quantitative calculations.

[0124] It is worth noting that, after determining the residual stress influence coefficient... k r Surface hardening influence coefficient k h Surface roughness influence coefficient k s Then, the quantified value of the influence coefficient is returned to the initial SN curve to correct the initial SN curve.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, step S402 includes:

[0126] S501. Determine the ratio between the first surface roughness of the sample weld node before shot peening and the second surface roughness after shot peening.

[0127] S502. Based on the relationship between the surface coefficient and the fatigue limit, the ratio is calculated to obtain the surface roughness influence coefficient.

[0128] Specifically, based on the relationship between the surface coefficient and the fatigue limit, the ratio between the first surface roughness and the corresponding second surface roughness after shot peening is calculated by taking the square root of a preset number of times to obtain the surface roughness influence coefficient. Since the calculation method is based on the relationship between the surface coefficient and the fatigue limit to determine the ratio, the accuracy of the surface roughness influence coefficient calculation is improved.

[0129] In one specific implementation, the cube root of the ratio of the first surface roughness to the second surface roughness can be used as the surface roughness influence coefficient.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of determining the range of equivalent structural stress change of the target hull weld joint after shot peening includes:

[0131] S601. The maximum equivalent stress and minimum equivalent stress of the target hull weld node after shot peening are determined by measurement, wherein the maximum equivalent stress and minimum equivalent stress are the equivalent stresses of the first region and the second region of the target hull weld node, respectively. The first region is the region that maximizes the sum of membrane stress and bending stress, and the second region is the region that minimizes the sum of membrane stress and bending stress.

[0132] S602. Determine the range of stress variation of the equivalent structure based on the maximum equivalent stress and the minimum equivalent stress.

[0133] Based on the results of membrane stress, bending stress, and structural stress, the range of structural stress variation can be calculated using the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] =

[0136]

[0137]

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] In the formula: ∆Ss is the equivalent structural stress variation range, in MPa; For structural stress, These are the maximum equivalent stress and the minimum equivalent stress, respectively; For membrane stress; σ b is the bending stress; fy is the force per unit length on the welding line; m xt is the torque per unit length on the welding line; t is the plate thickness in mm; n is the crack propagation index; r is the ratio of bending stress to structural stress.

[0141] Specifically, the difference between the maximum and minimum equivalent stress is determined as the range of equivalent structural stress variation.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, step S103 includes:

[0143] S701. Based on the fatigue performance influence coefficient, the target parameters in the initial SN curve are corrected, and the target parameters include the stress structure variation range.

[0144] Specifically, by correcting the stress structure variation range in the initial SN curve based on the fatigue performance influence coefficient, fatigue performance influence parameters such as the residual stress influence coefficient can be improved. k r Surface hardening influence coefficient k h Surface roughness influence coefficient k s Perform the product calculation to obtain k r 》 k h k s Then divide the range of stress structure variation in the initial SN curve by k r 》 k h k s This allows for the correction of the initial SN curve.

[0145] In one specific embodiment, the process of evaluating the fatigue life of longitudinal girder penetration nodes of 5083 aluminum alloy hulls using the evaluation method of this application is as follows:

[0146] Referring to the average master signal-to-noise ratio (SN) curve for aluminum alloy welded joints provided by ASME, it can be expressed by the following formula:

[0147]

[0148]

[0149] In the formula: C d and h The values ​​are 3495.13 and 0.27712, respectively.

[0150] like Figure 3As shown, the residual stress distribution curves along the depth direction of the heat-affected zone of the sample after shot peening with an intensity of 0.175 mmA under different cycle periods are presented. N in the figure represents the cycle period corresponding to the curve. Figure 3 As can be seen, significant residual stress relaxation occurred in the first 5000 cycles; however, after more than 5000 cycles, the residual stress relaxation behavior became less pronounced. The peak residual compressive stress after relaxation stabilization... σ rr Considering the average stress under shot peening, the influence coefficient of residual compressive stress can be obtained under this premise:

[0151]

[0152] like Figure 4 The figure shows the hardness distribution curves along the depth direction of the heat-affected zone of the sample after shot peening with an intensity of 0.175 mmA under different cycle cycles. It can be seen that the hardness exhibits relaxation behavior similar to residual stress. In the first 5000 cycles, the surface hardness of the sample showed a relatively obvious relaxation phenomenon. After more than 5000 cycles, the relaxation behavior became less obvious. Therefore, the surface hardening influence coefficient is:

[0153]

[0154] like Figure 5 The figure shows the surface roughness results of 5083 aluminum alloy before and after shot peening with an intensity of 0.175 mmA. The surface roughness remains largely unchanged with fatigue loading, but shot peening significantly increases it. Furthermore, the surface roughness influence coefficient decreases with increasing surface roughness. Under shot peening with an intensity of 0.175 mmA, the surface roughness influence coefficient is:

[0155]

[0156] According to the modified SN curve:

[0157]

[0158]

[0159]

[0160]

[0161]

[0162]

[0163] The main SN curve expression after shot peening is corrected as follows:

[0164]

[0165] Based on the results of membrane stress, bending stress, and structural stress, the range of structural stress variation can be calculated using the following formula:

[0166]

[0167] =

[0168]

[0169]

[0170]

[0171]

[0172] In this embodiment, the plate thickness t = 4 mm; the crack propagation index n = 3.6.

[0173] Using the modified SN curve after shot peening, the fatigue life of a 5083 aluminum alloy longitudinal rib through-barrel joint model under shot peening with a shot peening intensity of 0.175 mmA and a maximum cyclic load of 126 MPa was predicted, and the prediction was compared with the fatigue life results obtained from experiments. Table 1 shows the fatigue life prediction results of the modified SN curve after shot peening. s Compared with fatigue life test results N ex and its relative error result δs:

[0174] Table 1 Fatigue life prediction and test results

[0175]

[0176] As can be seen from Table 1, the fatigue life prediction results evaluated using the modified SN curve in this embodiment are close to the test average life, verifying the reliability of the method. At the same time, the predicted life of this method is smaller than the test average life. This more conservative prediction result can improve the survival rate of the evaluated target and provide a scientific basis for ship structure design and maintenance.
