Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of welded structure reliability assessment, specifically relating to a method for calculating the stress intensity factor of a weld joint with gap defects under tensile-shear load. Background Technology

[0002] Resistance spot welding is a primary method of joining automotive body-in-white components. These welds are subjected to various complex load conditions during service, with weld fatigue failure being the most significant failure mode during the automotive body-in-white structure's service life. Weld fatigue strength is crucial to overall vehicle performance. The stress intensity factor at critical locations of the weld is often used to predict weld fatigue strength and is correlated with fatigue life under cyclic loading.

[0003] However, in practical applications, due to fluctuations in welding conditions and the cumulative deviations from various errors such as stamping deviations and clamping errors in automotive body-in-white sheet metal structural components, initial gaps may exist before welding of the sheet metal structural components, resulting in gap-defect weld points after welding. The presence of initial gaps alters the mechanical equilibrium of the stress intensity factor solution around the weld point, thereby affecting the fatigue strength of the weld point. Existing technologies only cover the assessment of fatigue crack life of steel structure welds by accurately calculating the stress intensity factor of cracks through the construction of finite element models, and the derivation and calculation of the average stress intensity of weld points by constructing modular weld point finite element models and using the stress and strain of each node of the weld point. These methods are all for solving the stress intensity factor of welds and weld points without gaps, and are not applicable to solving the stress intensity factor of weld points with initial gaps.
