Detailed Implementation
[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0016] While related technologies address challenges such as high mold-making costs and severe springback cracking issues in the development stages of aviation, aerospace, and train manufacturing, as well as in small-batch, customized production, laser shock forming technology can effectively solve these problems. Furthermore, the proposed laser shock forming simulation method can effectively overcome the technical bottleneck of existing simulation technologies lagging significantly behind actual production applications in terms of efficiency.
[0017] To address the technical problem of high simulation costs and low efficiency in laser shock forming simulation, which fails to meet the requirements for simultaneous simulation during actual processing, this embodiment provides a finite element simulation method for laser shock forming based on equivalent internal bending moment. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 101: Obtain the impact pits and stress gradient distribution field on the surface of the part through a single-point laser shock test.
[0018] Among them, the laser process parameters of the single-point laser shock test may include, but are not limited to, laser energy, spot diameter, pulse width, sacrificial layer material and thickness, and constraint layer material and thickness; the parts may include, but are not limited to, metal plates and thin-walled structural parts, and the materials of the parts may include, but are not limited to, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and high-strength steel.
[0019] In some embodiments, an impact crater refers to a localized depression formed on the surface of a part after laser impact, and the stress gradient distribution field can be used to represent the stress variation law along the depth direction of the part's surface. During a single-point laser impact test, a sample made of the same material as the part is first prepared, fixed on the test bench, ensuring the impact area is flat, and the laser process parameters are set. The sample surface is then impacted at a single point, and the geometric parameters such as the diameter and depth of the impact crater are recorded after impact. An X-ray stress meter and a point-dissection delamination instrument are used to measure the stress values layer by layer along the depth direction of the crater center to obtain the stress gradient distribution field. Optionally, a single-row laser impact test can also be performed.
[0020] Step 102: Convert the stress gradient distribution field into an equivalent internal bending moment corresponding to the edge of the impact crater.
[0021] In some embodiments, the stress gradient distribution field is the stress variation along the depth direction of the surface layer of the part (high compressive stress on the surface and low stress in the deeper layers). This distribution causes a deformation difference between the surface and inner layers of the material, which can be equivalent to the internal moment that causes bending at the edge of the impact dent, i.e., the equivalent internal bending moment. Specifically, firstly, the stress gradient distribution field data can be extracted to obtain the stress value along the depth direction of the impact dent region. Then, the stress moment can be calculated by integrating the stress in the depth direction (stress × area moment) to obtain the resultant stress moment per unit length. Then, an equivalent transformation is performed to convert the stress moment into an internal bending moment concentrated at the edge of the dent according to the actual size (diameter, range) of the impact dent. This serves as the equivalent stress for subsequent simulations, thereby improving the computational efficiency and convergence of the laser forming simulation process. It is suitable for forming simulation under complex boundary conditions and multiple impact processes, and can accurately predict the deformation trend after forming of medium and thick plates, effectively improving the prediction accuracy of laser shock forming.
[0022] Step 103: Based on the actual material parameters of the part, establish the shell element finite element model corresponding to the part, and apply the equivalent stress and constraint conditions corresponding to the equivalent internal bending moment to the shell element finite element model.
[0023] In some embodiments, the shell element finite element model employs a mapping method for mesh generation. For example, firstly, the actual material parameters of the part, such as the elastic modulus, yield strength, and thickness of the aluminum alloy, can be obtained. Then, a self-developed finite element program is used to construct a shell element model of the same size as the part based on the actual material parameters. Mapping mesh generation is then performed, mapping the boundary shape of the geometric model onto the topology of a regular mesh. By strictly matching the distribution of boundary nodes, regularly shaped and orderly arranged elements (such as quadrilateral eight-node elements) are generated to ensure mesh quality and computational accuracy. For example, the impact region corresponding to the part can be divided into quadrilateral shell elements to ensure smooth mesh transition. Correspondingly, equivalent stress and constraints are applied to the shell element finite element model, such as converting the equivalent internal bending moment into the equivalent stress of the shell element edge nodes (allocated by shape function interpolation) to simulate impact driving; and applying fixed constraints (limiting displacement and rotation) to both ends of the plate to simulate actual clamping.
[0024] Step 104: By performing static solution on the shell element finite element model after applying equivalent internal bending moment and constraint conditions, the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts is obtained.
[0025] In some embodiments, in a self-compiled finite element program, equivalent internal bending moments can be applied sequentially at corresponding nodes according to the actual impact sequence (e.g., 200 impacts at 5mm intervals along the length of the plate). The plastic deformation of each impact is automatically accumulated. After obtaining the node deformation vector through static solution, the node coordinate matrix is updated to obtain the deformation state of the part after the current laser impact. Then, the position of the crater for the next laser impact can be updated, the mesh can be re-divided, and so on until all impact sequences are completed, the simulation process ends, and the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts is obtained to determine whether it meets the part design requirements. In this way, by using static equivalence to replace dynamics and performing cumulative calculations, the superimposed deformation of multiple impacts is efficiently simulated, which greatly improves the simulation efficiency of laser shock forming and provides a reliable theoretical basis for process optimization.
[0026] By applying the technical solution of this application, the measured stress gradient distribution field in a single-point laser shock test is transformed into an equivalent internal bending moment. Based on the actual material parameters of the part, a shell element finite element model corresponding to the part is established. The equivalent stress and constraint conditions corresponding to the equivalent internal bending moment are applied to the shell element finite element model. The shell element finite element model is meshed using the mapping method and combined with the local adaptive mapping meshing technology. Finally, static solution is performed to obtain the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts. This significantly improves the computational efficiency and convergence of the laser forming simulation process. It is suitable for forming simulation of complex boundary conditions and multiple impact processes. It can accurately predict the deformation trend after forming of medium and thick plates, effectively improve the prediction accuracy of laser shock forming. By replacing dynamics with static equivalence, the simulation efficiency of laser shock forming is greatly improved, providing a reliable theoretical basis for process optimization and meeting the synchronous simulation requirements in actual processing.
[0027] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, in order to fully illustrate the implementation of this embodiment, step 102 may optionally include: based on the stress gradient distribution field, taking the neutral layer of the plate corresponding to the part as the depth direction coordinate 0 point, integrating the stress along the depth direction, and using the obtained integration result as the equivalent internal bending moment distributed along the edge of the impact pit; the stress gradient distribution field is formed by measuring the surface residual stress distribution of the part by X-ray diffraction after the single-point laser shock experiment, and then eroding the plate layer by layer by electrolytic peeling method to form stress gradient data along the depth direction.
[0028] In some embodiments, the plate is subjected to single-point or single-row laser shock. A dynamic simulation model of laser shock is established using actual material parameters and laser shock process parameters. The stress values along the depth direction near the edge of the laser shock pit are extracted as known conditions for the equivalent internal bending moment to be determined. Taking the neutral layer of the plate as the 0 point of the depth direction coordinate, the measured stress gradient is integrated along the depth direction to obtain the stress moment.
[0029] Optionally, the equivalent internal bending moment is obtained by integrating the measured stress along the thickness direction, and its calculation formula can be expressed as: ; in, σ This represents the residual stress distribution along the plate thickness direction. z These are the coordinates in the thickness direction. dA Let the area be a microelement. h This refers to the thickness of the sheet material.
[0030] Optionally, a shell element finite element model corresponding to the part is established based on the actual material parameters of the part, including: determining the element type and element thickness of the shell element finite element model according to the actual material parameters of the part. The element type includes 8-node Mindlin-Reissner shell element, and the element thickness is determined according to the actual material thickness in the actual material parameters.
[0031] For example, the shell element finite element model can use an 8-node element based on the Mindlin-Reissner shell element. Since the thickness of the shell element does not participate in the finite element mesh generation, the number of meshes can be greatly reduced, improving computational efficiency. Based on the mapping method, the mesh generation of the shell element finite element model is based on the following formula: ; In the formula C i ( i = 1 to 4) are the four boundaries of the region. E i ( i = 1 to 4) are the four corner points of the quadrilateral. ξ and η These are the normalized mapped coordinates in two directions, respectively. X and Y These are the coordinates of all mapped nodes within the region.
[0032] This adaptive meshing method employs parameterized mapping meshing rules and drives the mesh re-meshing process based on the laser impact position, achieving dynamic refinement of local areas. When the impact position changes, the coordinates of the crater center are automatically identified, and the influence domain is expanded using this point as a reference. A preset mapping template is then used to generate a high-quality quadrilateral element mesh.
[0033] Optionally, apply equivalent stress and constraints corresponding to the equivalent internal bending moment to the shell element finite element model, including: applying the equivalent internal bending moment to the nodes near the edge of the impact crater in the shell element finite element model in the form of shape function interpolation, where the shape function interpolation includes linear shape function interpolation and higher-order shape function interpolation, and the nodes include discrete nodes on the contour line of the simulated crater edge; and applying constraints to the shell element finite element model according to the actual working conditions corresponding to the single-point laser shock test, where the constraints include fixed constraints, displacement constraints, or elastic support constraints, and the position and type of the constraints are consistent with the clamping state during the actual machining of the part.
[0034] In some embodiments, a shell element finite element model can be established based on the actual material parameters of the part, and the part can be meshed based on the mapping principle. The mesh at the location of the current impact crater corresponding to the laser shock test in the shell element finite element model is refined, and the overall stiffness matrix is generated according to the element mesh logic.K and the quality matrix M The measured stress moment is multiplied by the area of application and applied to the finite element pit node using shape function interpolation to realize the external force of the shell element finite element model. F External constraints are applied to the corresponding positions in the shell element finite element model according to the clamping method in the actual forming process, and the overall stiffness matrix is updated. K This facilitates the statics solution. For example, the solution matrix equation for the statics solution of a finite element model can be expressed as: U = F / K ,in U It can represent the node deformation vector.
[0035] Optionally, step 104 may specifically include: using a self-compiled finite element model to perform static solution on the shell element finite element model after cumulative loading of equivalent internal bending moment, to obtain the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts, and the self-compiled finite element model is used to determine the deformation state of the part corresponding to multiple impacts.
[0036] Optionally, the equivalent internal bending moment can be cyclically applied to the shell element finite element model, and the deformation can be calculated cumulatively.
[0037] Among them, statics can be solved by analyzing a self-developed finite element model. The self-developed finite element model can be a custom-developed finite element program, which is used to automatically identify the spot position of each laser impact, dynamically adapt the mesh (refine the impact zone and coarse the non-impact zone), and balance the calculation efficiency and accuracy. Multiple impacts are achieved by cyclically loading the equivalent internal bending moment and accumulating the deformation.
[0038] In some embodiments, equivalent internal bending moments (each corresponding to a spot position) can be repeatedly applied to the shell element finite element model according to the actual impact sequence to simulate the cumulative effect of multiple laser impacts. Then, the deformation is calculated cumulatively. After each loading, the deformation of the part is recorded, and the deformation result is used as the initial state for the next loading. The total deformation is obtained by superimposing the results.
[0039] Specifically, a shell element base model can be generated in a self-compiled finite element model. Material parameters, the location of the initial impact spot, and the equivalent internal bending moment are input. The mesh is automatically refined at the spot location, and the equivalent internal bending moment and constraints are applied. Static calculations are performed, and the deformation after the first impact is recorded. This process is repeated for cyclic loading and cumulative deformation. The self-compiled model automatically adjusts the mesh in the area by updating the spot location. Using the previous deformation result as the initial state, the equivalent internal bending moment is applied, and the deformation is solved and accumulated. This process is repeated until a preset number of impacts (e.g., 200) is completed, and the final deformation state is output, thus completing the deformation prediction after multiple impacts. By dynamically adapting the spot location and mesh to the self-compiled model, the calculation accuracy of the impact zone is ensured while avoiding the inefficiency caused by an excessive overall mesh, achieving accurate and efficient simulation of multiple impacts.
[0040] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the laser shock forming finite element simulation method based on equivalent internal bending moment provided in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the stress gradient distribution field, perform single-point or single-row laser shock on the plate, and extract the stress along the depth direction near the edge of the laser shock pit using an X-ray residual stress meter and an electrolytic stripping device as known conditions for the equivalent internal bending moment to be determined. Step 2: Equivalently transform the internal bending moment parameters. Taking the neutral layer of the plate as the zero point of the depth direction coordinate, integrate the measured stress gradient along the depth direction to obtain the stress moment. ; Step 3: Establish a shell element finite element model and mesh the part based on the mapping principle. Refine the mesh at the location of the current impact dent, and generate the overall stiffness matrix according to the element mesh logic. K and the quality matrix M ; Step 4: Apply the internal bending moment load, multiply the measured stress moment by the area of application, and apply it to the finite element pit node using shape function interpolation to realize the finite element external force. F The application; Step 5: Apply constraints. Apply external constraints to the corresponding positions in the finite element model according to the clamping method in the actual forming process, and update the overall stiffness matrix. K ; Step 6: Static solution of deformation state. Perform static solution on the finite element model, and the solution matrix equation is: U = F / K ; Obtain the node deformation vector U Then, updating the node coordinate matrix will give the deformation state of the part after the laser shock. Step 7: Update the position of the next laser impact crater, re-mesh, and repeat steps 3 to 6 until all impact sequences are completed, then end the simulation process.
[0041] Accordingly, taking a Q355 material sample as an example, a single-point laser shock test was first conducted on a 20mm×20mm×3mm sample. The laser energy was set to 15J, the pulse width to 15ns, the spot diameter to 4mm, and the wavelength to 1064nm. After the shock, the residual stress gradient data of the impact pit were obtained by X-ray diffraction and electrolytic stripping. The measured residual stress was integrated along the depth direction to obtain the equivalent torque value. ,like Figure 3 The diagram shows the original sample and the deformed sample, and the diagram of the deformation mechanism of the plate driven by the equivalent torque in laser shock forming. It shows the physical process from the local residual stress field to the macroscopic overall bending deformation. The dashed box can represent the original plate, the solid line can represent the plate after being impacted, and the stress gradient field can represent the non-uniform residual stress distribution generated in the laser shock area, which is the root cause of the bending moment.
[0042] Next, a 150mm×30mm×3mm sample can be subjected to laser shock. The laser shock parameters are set as follows: pulse energy 15J, pulse width 15ns, spot diameter 4mm, wavelength 1064nm. One end of the part is clamped, as shown in the image. Figure 4 The impact trajectory shown applies laser impacts to the specimen in three rows: row 1, row 2, and row 3. The distance from the clamping end to the starting point of the first laser impact can be set to 46 mm to obtain measured bending deformation data of the specimen in the length direction.
[0043] Furthermore, an equivalent internal bending moment shell element finite element model of the specimen can be established, such as... Figure 5 As shown. The equivalent torque is multiplied by the area of action and then applied to the corresponding nodes as an equivalent external force through shape function interpolation. The mesh accuracy of the pitted area is dynamically updated based on adaptive mapping mesh technology, and the static equations are solved in combination with the clamping boundary conditions to obtain the deformation morphology after each impact step. Finally, the deformations of each step are accumulated.
[0044] Correspondingly, the simulation results after laser shock with one, two, and three lines can be compared with the measured deformation profiles, such as... Figure 6As shown, the calculation error of the deformation amount is very small, verifying the effectiveness of the laser shock forming simulation method in predicting forming accuracy. The measured deformation data represents the actual deformation data of the specimen after laser shock obtained through physical experiments, which can be obtained using high-precision three-dimensional measuring equipment, such as a coordinate measuring machine or 3D scanner. Along the specimen length direction (x-axis), the scanned point cloud is fitted into a continuous z(x) curve. The simulation refers to the deformation result predicted by the shell element finite element model established using a self-developed finite element program.
[0045] Compared with related technologies, the embodiments of this application are based on the stress gradient distribution field. Taking the neutral layer of the plate corresponding to the part as the depth coordinate 0 point, the stress is integrated along the depth direction. The obtained integral result is used as the equivalent internal bending moment distributed along the edge of the impact crater. It is applied to the corresponding node as the equivalent external force through shape function interpolation. The mesh accuracy of the crater area is dynamically updated based on adaptive mapping mesh technology. Combined with the clamping boundary conditions, the static equation is solved to obtain the deformation mode after each impact. The shell element finite element model after the cumulative loading of the equivalent internal bending moment is statically solved using a self-developed finite element model to obtain the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts. The internal bending moment is used to equivalently replace the residual stress distribution, thereby reducing the non-uniform stress generated inside the material after laser impact. The field is transformed into an equivalent static load and applied to the finite element model. Through the equivalent transformation of stress gradient and internal bending moment and the loading of shape function interpolation, the model complexity of laser shock forming simulation is effectively simplified, and the simulation accuracy and computational efficiency are improved. It can efficiently and accurately simulate the deformation behavior of parts during multiple impacts, providing a reliable simulation basis for the optimization of laser shock forming process. It avoids the problems of high computational cost and convergence difficulty in traditional dynamic simulation, and effectively overcomes the problem of low forming prediction accuracy caused by the difficulty in accurately applying residual stress field. Combined with adaptive mapping mesh technology, the local mesh is dynamically reconstructed when the impact position changes each time, ensuring the geometric accuracy of the pit area and the solution resolution of the stress concentration area, and meeting the synchronous simulation requirements in the actual processing process.
[0046] Furthermore, embodiments of this application provide a finite element simulation device for laser shock forming based on equivalent internal bending moment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the device includes: an acquisition module 31 and a conversion module 32.

[0062] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that this application can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general-purpose hardware platform, or it can be implemented by hardware. This application is based on the stress gradient distribution field, taking the neutral layer of the plate corresponding to the part as the depth direction coordinate 0 point, integrating the stress along the depth direction, and using the obtained integral result as the equivalent internal bending moment distributed along the edge of the impact crater. After multiplying the equivalent moment by the area of action, it is applied to the corresponding node as the equivalent external force through shape function interpolation. The mesh accuracy of the crater area is dynamically updated based on adaptive mapping mesh technology, and the static equation is solved in combination with the clamping boundary conditions to obtain the deformation mode after each impact. The shell element finite element model after the cumulative loading of the equivalent internal bending moment is statically solved using a self-compiled finite element model to obtain the deformation state of the part after multiple impacts. By using the internal bending moment to equivalently replace the residual stress distribution, the material after laser impact is... The non-uniform stress field generated internally is transformed into an equivalent static load and applied to the finite element model. Through the equivalent transformation of stress gradient and internal bending moment and the loading of shape function interpolation, the model complexity of laser shock forming simulation is effectively simplified, and the simulation accuracy and computational efficiency are improved. It can efficiently and accurately simulate the deformation behavior of parts during multiple impacts, providing a reliable simulation basis for the optimization of laser shock forming process. It avoids the problems of high computational cost and convergence difficulty in traditional dynamic simulation, and effectively overcomes the problem of low forming prediction accuracy caused by the difficulty in accurately applying residual stress field. Combined with adaptive mapping mesh technology, the local mesh is dynamically reconstructed when the impact position changes each time, ensuring the geometric accuracy of the pit area and the solution resolution of the stress concentration area.
