Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural fatigue reliability technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate in metallic materials. Background Technology
[0002] In modern engineering, mechanical structures are widely used in rail transportation, aerospace, and automobile manufacturing. These structures frequently endure random vibration loads during service, leading to structural failures due to fatigue fracture. Therefore, establishing a quantitative prediction method for the fatigue crack propagation life of mechanical structures under vibration loading conditions provides an important theoretical tool for damage tolerance design of defective mechanical structures. Existing methods for predicting structural fatigue crack propagation life are based on fracture mechanics theory, relying on solving the relationship between the stress intensity factor and defect size of the defective structure under service loading conditions, and establishing the correlation between the stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate at the material level—that is, the material's fatigue crack propagation rate curve. Therefore, establishing an efficient and accurate fatigue crack propagation rate curve testing method is crucial for achieving high-precision prediction of structural fatigue crack propagation life.
[0003] Existing methods for testing fatigue crack growth rate involve conducting fatigue crack growth tests under constant amplitude loading on standard fracture specimens (such as compact tensile specimens and central crack tensile specimens) specified by national standards. This establishes the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the fatigue crack growth rate da / dN. However, the fatigue crack growth rate data (ΔK ~ da / dN data) obtained by this method show significant changes with variations in the constant amplitude load stress ratio and specimen thickness, exhibiting stress ratio effect and thickness dependence. The fatigue crack growth rate curve, as a material parameter reflecting the fracture performance of metallic materials, does not change with variations in the load stress ratio or specimen thickness. Therefore, existing standard-specified fatigue crack growth rate testing methods cannot obtain a fatigue crack growth rate curve that reflects the fundamental properties of the material, i.e., a baseline fatigue crack growth rate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate in metallic materials, by establishing the traditional driving force ΔK and the effective driving force ΔK. CPD The mapping relationship between them is obtained by processing fatigue crack growth rate data (ΔK~da / dN data) obtained from standard test tests to obtain baseline fatigue crack growth rate data (ΔK) that does not have stress ratio effect and thickness dependence. CPD To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: (~da / dN data). In a first aspect, this application provides a method for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate in metallic materials, including: Standard fatigue crack propagation specimens were selected, and fatigue crack propagation tests were carried out under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios. Data processing was used to obtain the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and the crack propagation rate under different stress ratios. Based on the sample type, geometric dimensions and load conditions corresponding to the relational data, a three-dimensional finite element model is established. After setting the constitutive model of the elastoplastic material, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface is extracted through elastoplastic finite element analysis under different loads and crack lengths. The above displacements were iteratively calibrated using the strip yield model and a general analytical weight function to obtain the plastic constraint factor corresponding to different test loads and crack lengths. Combined with the specimen thickness and the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size of the crack body under the corresponding test load, an empirical relationship between the normalized specimen thickness and the plastic constraint factor was established through normalization and fitting analysis. An improved strip yield model for the specimen was constructed. This model was used to iteratively solve for the cyclic plastic damage initiation load at the crack tip, which reaches a stable state with crack length under different stress ratios and plastic constraint factors. This established the relationship between the stable cyclic plastic damage initiation load at the crack tip and the ratio of the maximum experimental load under different stress ratios and plastic constraint factors. Based on the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate under different stress ratios obtained from the experiment, the plastic constraint factor corresponding to each data point under different stress ratios was determined using the empirical relationship between normalized specimen thickness and plastic constraint factor. Based on the stress ratio and plastic constraint factor of each data pair, the mapping relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and the effective driving force was determined using the relationship between the cyclic plastic damage initiation load at the crack tip and the ratio of the maximum experimental load. Based on this relationship, the stress intensity factor amplitude in the data pair was replaced with the effective driving force to obtain baseline data on the fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials unaffected by stress ratio and specimen thickness. Preferably, the step involves selecting standard fatigue crack propagation specimens according to national standards, conducting fatigue crack propagation tests under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios, and processing the data to obtain the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate under different stress ratios, including: According to national standards, select a standard fatigue crack propagation specimen (such as a compact tensile specimen or a central crack tensile specimen), conduct fatigue crack propagation tests at multiple stress ratio levels under constant amplitude load, and record the crack length and cycle number data at each stress ratio. The experimental data were processed and analyzed to obtain a basic dataset containing the relationship between stress ratio, stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate.
[0005] Preferably, after establishing a three-dimensional finite element model based on the sample type, geometric dimensions, and load conditions corresponding to the relational data, and setting the constitutive model of the elastoplastic material, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface is extracted through elastoplastic finite element analysis under different loads and crack lengths, including: Based on the load and crack length covered by the original relational data, a three-dimensional elastoplastic finite element model of the corresponding specimen is established, simulation analysis is performed, and the elastoplastic opening displacement of the crack surface is extracted. For the same load and crack length, the elastic-plastic crack opening displacement is calculated based on the general analytical weight function and strip yield model corresponding to the specimen type. By adjusting the plastic constraint factor, the crack opening displacement calculated by the strip yield model is made to match the opening displacement extracted by the finite element analysis, thereby calibrating the plastic constraint factor for different crack lengths under this test condition and forming a plastic constraint factor dataset.
[0006] Preferably, the displacement is iteratively calibrated using a strip yield model and a general analytical weight function to obtain the plastic constraint factor corresponding to different test loads and crack lengths. Combining the specimen thickness and the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size of the crack body under the corresponding test load, an empirical relationship between the normalized specimen thickness and the plastic constraint factor is established through normalization and fitting analysis, including: For the standard fracture specimen type used, a general analytical weight function expression is determined. Based on the strip yield model and the weight function, the theoretical elastic-plastic crack opening displacement under different test loads and crack lengths is calculated. By adjusting the plastic constraint factor, the theoretical calculated value is made to match the value extracted by the finite element analysis, and the plastic constraint factor is calibrated. Based on the test load, crack length, and plastic constraint factor data obtained from the calibration, the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size corresponding to each data point is calculated. The normalized sample thickness is obtained by normalizing the sample thickness and establishing an empirical relationship between the normalized sample thickness and the plastic constraint factor through fitting analysis, which is used to describe the three-dimensional constraint state of the crack body.
[0007] Preferably, an improved strip yield model for the specimen is constructed. Fatigue crack propagation analysis is performed using this improved strip yield model, iteratively solving for the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point as the crack length enters a stable state. Based on the experimental load conditions and fatigue crack propagation analysis with different plastic constraint factors, fitting relationships are established between the stress ratio, plastic constraint factor, and the ratio of the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point load to the maximum load, including: An improved strip yield model for the cracked body used in the experiment was constructed based on a general analytical weight function. The elastic-plastic response of the cracked body under cyclic external loading was solved by conducting fatigue crack propagation analysis. Under the maximum cyclic external load, the crack opening displacement and stress distribution of the bar element in the crack body are calculated. When the maximum external load is unloaded to the minimum external load, the crack opening displacement, bar element stress and length are updated. Then, the minimum external load is reloaded to the next maximum external load. The load corresponding to the initiation point of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip is solved iteratively. The above steps are repeated until the fatigue crack extends to the termination crack length corresponding to the test conditions. Thus, the relationship between the external load and the fatigue crack length is obtained. The load at the initiation point of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip that enters a steady state as the crack length changes is extracted, and the ratio between this load and the maximum load is calculated. Based on the experimental load conditions, multiple fatigue crack propagation analyses were conducted by changing the plastic constraint factor in the improved strip yield model. Polynomial fitting relationships were obtained between the plastic constraint factor and the ratio of the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point to the maximum load under different stress ratios.
[0008] Preferably, the step involves calculating the conversion factor between the stress intensity factor amplitude and the effective driving force based on the relationship data between the stress intensity factor amplitude and the crack propagation rate, the plastic constraint factor, and the stress ratio. This process replaces the stress intensity factor amplitude in each experimental data pair with the effective driving force, ultimately obtaining baseline data on the fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials that is unaffected by the stress ratio and sample thickness. This includes: For each data pair in the basic data of fatigue crack propagation test, based on its stress intensity factor amplitude and specimen thickness, the corresponding plastic constraint factor is determined using the empirical relationship between normalized specimen thickness and plastic constraint factor. Combined with its stress ratio level, the conversion parameter is determined using the fitting relationship between the plastic constraint factor and the ratio of the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point to the maximum load. The conversion factor between stress intensity factor amplitude and effective driving force is calculated. The stress intensity factor amplitude in each data pair is converted into an effective driving force by the conversion factor, and finally a dataset consisting of the effective driving force and the crack propagation rate is formed, which is the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials that is not affected by stress ratio and specimen thickness.
[0009] Secondly, this application also provides a solution system for the baseline fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials, including: Test module: Used to select standard fatigue crack propagation specimens, conduct fatigue crack propagation tests under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios, and obtain data on the relationship between stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate under different stress ratios through data processing; Extraction module: It is used to establish a three-dimensional finite element model based on the sample type, geometric size and load conditions corresponding to the relational data. After setting the constitutive model of the elastoplastic material, it extracts the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface of the crack body through elastoplastic finite element analysis under different loads and crack lengths. Calibration module: Used to iteratively calibrate the opening displacement of elastoplastic cracks using a strip yield model and a general analytical weighting function, obtaining the plastic constraint factor λ corresponding to different test loads and crack lengths, combined with the specimen thickness B and the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size r of the crack body under the corresponding test load. p0 The normalized sample thickness B / r was established through normalization and fitting analysis. p0 Empirical relationship between the plastic constraint factor λ and the plastic constraint factor λ; The solver module is used to construct an improved strip yield model for the specimen. This improved strip yield model is used to iteratively solve for the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation load P, which is the load at the crack tip as the crack length reaches a steady state under different stress ratios R and plastic constraint factors λ. CPD This establishes the ratio P of the stable crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point load to the maximum experimental load under different stress ratios R and plastic constraint factors λ. CPD / P max The relationship between them; Conversion module: Used to convert the stress ratio R and plastic constraint factor λ of each data pair into the ratio P of the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point to the maximum experimental load. CPD / P max The relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the effective driving force ΔK is determined. CPD The mapping relationship between them; based on this relationship, the stress intensity factor magnitude ΔK in the data pair is replaced with the effective driving force ΔK. CPD We obtained baseline data on fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials that are unaffected by stress ratio R and specimen thickness B.
[0010] Thirdly, this application also provides an apparatus for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate in metallic materials, comprising: Memory, used to store computer programs; A processor, used to execute the computer program, implements the steps of a method for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate of the metallic material.
[0011] Fourthly, this application also provides a readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described method for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate based on metallic materials.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention establishes the relationship between normalized specimen thickness and plastic constraint factor through elastoplastic finite element analysis. It also establishes the relationship between stress ratio, plastic constraint factor, and the ratio of the load at the crack tip's plastic cyclic damage initiation point to the maximum load by improving the strip yield model. This allows for the establishment of a real-time mapping relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and the effective driving force for fatigue crack propagation. The baseline fatigue crack propagation rate of the material is indirectly obtained from fatigue crack propagation rate data obtained through national standard testing. Compared to existing testing methods, this method does not require additional measuring equipment and offers advantages such as ease of measurement, low cost, and high data processing efficiency, enabling accurate measurement of the fatigue crack propagation rate baseline.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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 some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0033] Example 1: The physical mechanism of fatigue crack propagation is the generation of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip. Therefore, the effective driving force for crack propagation, ΔK, which characterizes the cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip, is used. CPD Replacing the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK, the fatigue crack propagation rate curves under different stress ratios and specimen thicknesses can be well unified, thereby establishing a baseline for fatigue crack propagation rate (ΔK) characterizing the basic fracture properties of materials. CPD ~da / dN data). However, in obtaining the effective driving force ΔK for fatigue crack propagation. CPDDuring the experiment, it is necessary to monitor the local deformation and compliance changes at the crack tip in real time during crack propagation to obtain the variation law of the load of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip with crack length. Existing testing methods use digital image correlation technology or strain gauges to achieve accurate monitoring of local cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip, which has the disadvantages of complex measurement methods and cumbersome data processing. Furthermore, the effective driving force ΔK is limited. CPD It is susceptible to noise in digital signals.
[0034] Therefore, this invention proposes a fatigue crack propagation rate baseline (ΔK). CPD The method for testing (~da / dN data) establishes the relationship between normalized specimen thickness and plastic constraint factor through elastoplastic finite element analysis. It also establishes the relationship between stress ratio, plastic constraint factor, and the ratio of the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point to the maximum load by improving the strip yield model. This, in turn, establishes the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the effective driving force ΔK for fatigue crack propagation. CPD The real-time mapping relationship between them. The baseline of the fatigue crack propagation rate of the material is indirectly obtained through ΔK~da / dN obtained by conventional testing.
[0035] Compared to existing testing methods, this method does not require the introduction of additional measurement equipment and has the advantages of simple measurement, low measurement cost and high data processing efficiency, enabling accurate measurement of the baseline fatigue crack propagation rate.
[0036] This embodiment provides a method for solving the baseline of fatigue crack propagation rate in metallic materials.
[0037] See Figure 1 The figure shows that the method includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400 and S500.
[0038] S100. Select standard fatigue crack propagation specimens and conduct fatigue crack propagation tests with different stress ratios under constant amplitude load. After data processing, obtain the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate under different stress ratios.
[0039] It is understood that step S100 includes S101 and S102, wherein: S101. Select a standard fatigue crack propagation specimen according to the national standard requirements, and carry out fatigue crack propagation tests at multiple stress ratio levels under constant amplitude load, and record the crack length and cycle number data at each stress ratio. S102. Process and analyze the experimental data to obtain a basic dataset containing the relationship between stress ratio, stress intensity factor amplitude and crack propagation rate.
[0040] It should be noted that, based on national standards, a standard fatigue crack propagation specimen (such as a compact tensile specimen or a central crack tensile specimen) is selected to conduct fatigue crack propagation tests under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios. The test data is then processed to obtain the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the crack propagation rate da / dN of the metallic material under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios R (R~ΔK~da / dN data).
[0041] S200. Based on the sample type, geometric dimensions and load conditions corresponding to the relational data, a three-dimensional finite element model is established. After setting the constitutive model of the elastoplastic material, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface is extracted through elastoplastic finite element analysis under different loads and crack lengths.
[0042] It is understood that step S200 includes S201, S202, and S203, wherein: S201. Based on the load and crack length covered by the original relational data, establish a three-dimensional elastoplastic finite element model of the corresponding specimen, perform simulation analysis, and extract the elastoplastic opening displacement of the crack surface. S202. For the same load and crack length, based on the general analytical weight function corresponding to the specimen type and the strip yield model, calculate the elastic-plastic crack opening displacement. The calculation formula is as follows: In the formula, d is the virtual crack length of the crack body, that is, the physical crack length a and the crack tip plastic zone size r. p The sum of these values, E΄ being the effective elastic modulus of the material, W being the characteristic width of the crack, x being the distance along the crack line, m(d / W, x / d) being the universal analytical weight function of the crack, and K... ref (τ) is the stress intensity factor at the crack tip under the test load when the crack length is τ, which can be expressed as: In the formula, τ is the crack length, and σ is the crack length. ref (x) represents the stress distribution along the crack line of the cracked body used in the experiment when there is no crack, under the action of a reference external load, m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the cracked body, λ is the plastic constraint factor, x is the distance along the crack line, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength.
[0043] S203. By adjusting the plastic constraint factor, the crack opening displacement calculated by the strip yield model is made to match the opening displacement extracted by the finite element analysis, thereby calibrating the plastic constraint factor for different crack lengths under the test condition and forming a plastic constraint factor dataset.
[0044] It should be noted that the constitutive and geometric dimensions (planar dimensions and specimen thickness) of the elastoplastic material of the model are set, and elastoplastic finite element analysis is carried out on the specimen under different loads and crack lengths within the test range. Based on the elastoplastic finite element calculation results, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface of the crack body under different loads and crack lengths is extracted. The elastoplastic crack opening displacement consists of the real crack opening displacement and the virtual crack opening displacement. The real crack opening displacement is extracted by the nodal displacement (the component perpendicular to the crack surface) of the physical crack surface of the crack body. For the virtual crack opening displacement located on the virtual crack surface (the plastic region at the crack tip), it is obtained by integrating the plastic strain component perpendicular to the crack surface. In the formula, V(x) represents the virtual crack opening displacement at position x along the crack surface, σ0 is the flow stress, and E' is the effective elastic modulus of the material. Let a be the plastic strain component perpendicular to the crack plane, and r be the crack length. p This represents the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip.
[0045] S300. The opening displacement of the elastoplastic crack is iteratively calibrated using a strip yield model and a general analytical weighting function to obtain the plastic constraint factor λ corresponding to different test loads and crack lengths. This is combined with the specimen thickness B and the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size r of the crack body under the corresponding test load. p0 The normalized sample thickness B / r was established through normalization and fitting analysis. p0 The empirical relationship between the plastic constraint factor λ and the plastic constraint factor λ.
[0046] It is understood that step S300 includes S301 and S302, wherein: S301. Determine the general analytical weight function expression for the standard fracture specimen type used, calculate the theoretical elastic-plastic crack opening displacement under different test loads and crack lengths based on the strip yield model and the weight function, and adjust the plastic constraint factor to make the theoretical calculation value match the value extracted by the finite element analysis, thus completing the calibration of the plastic constraint factor. S302. Based on the calibrated test load, crack length, and plastic constraint factor data, calculate the plane stress crack tip plastic zone size corresponding to each data point. Normalize the sample thickness using the normalized sample thickness. Establish an empirical relationship between the normalized sample thickness and the plastic constraint factor through fitting analysis to describe the three-dimensional constraint state of the crack body. The empirical relationship between the normalized sample thickness and the plastic constraint factor is fitted using the following expression: In the formula, λ max For when B / r p0 → The lower limit of λ when it reaches 0 is 1.min For when B / r p0 The upper limit of λ as it approaches infinity is 1 / (1-2v), where v is the material's Poisson's ratio, B is the sample thickness, and r is the upper limit of λ as it approaches infinity. p0 , where is the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip of the plane stress corresponding to the current external load in the experiment, and k and b are coefficients determined by fitting.
[0047] It should be noted that, for the standard fracture specimen used in the test, the Wu-Carlson general analytical weight function m(a / W, x / a) is determined based on the specimen type and geometry. For a centrally cracked specimen (such as a centrally cracked tensile specimen), its general analytical weight function can be expressed as: For specimens with edge cracks (such as compact tensile specimens), the general analytical weighting function can be expressed as: In the formula, a is the crack length, W is the characteristic width of the crack body, x is the distance along the crack line, and β is the crack length. j These are the series coefficients of the weighting function, which are related to the specimen type and the normalized specimen thickness a / W.
[0048] Based on the strip yielding model, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement V(x) of the crack body under different test loads and crack lengths is calculated using the weighting function of the standard fracture specimen: In the formula, d is the virtual crack length of the crack body, that is, the physical crack length a and the crack tip plastic zone size r. p The sum of E' and W. E' is the effective elastic modulus of the material, W is the characteristic width of the crack, x is the distance along the crack line, m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the crack, and K is the sum of E' and W. ref (τ) is the stress intensity factor at the crack tip under the test load when the crack length is τ, which can be expressed as: In the formula, τ is the crack length, and σ is the crack length. ref (x) represents the stress distribution along the crack line of the cracked body used in the experiment under a reference external load when no crack exists. m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the cracked body, λ is the plastic constraint factor, x is the distance along the crack line, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength. When calculating the elastic-plastic crack opening displacement of the cracked body, the virtual crack length d can be solved iteratively based on the strip yield model using the following expression: In the formula, σ ref(x) represents the stress distribution along the crack line of the cracked body used in the experiment when there is no crack, under the action of a reference external load, m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the cracked body, λ is the plastic constraint factor, x is the distance along the crack line, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength.
[0049] Under different test loads and crack lengths, by adjusting the plastic constraint factor λ, the elastic-plastic opening displacement of the crack body predicted by the above formula is made to match the elastic-plastic crack opening displacement extracted based on the elastic-plastic finite element analysis results in the above steps, and the plastic constraint factor λ corresponding to the test load and crack length is obtained.
[0050] S400. Construct an improved strip yield model for the specimen. Iteratively solve the cyclic plastic damage initiation load P at the crack tip as the crack length reaches a steady state under different stress ratios R and plastic constraint factors λ. CPD This establishes the ratio P of the stable crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point load to the maximum experimental load under different stress ratios R and plastic constraint factors λ. CPD / P max The relationship between them;
[0051] It is understood that in this step, S400 includes S401, S402, and S403, wherein: S401. Based on the general analytical weight function, an improved strip yield model of the crack body used in the experiment is constructed. By carrying out fatigue crack propagation analysis, the elastic-plastic response of the crack body under cyclic external load is solved. S402. Calculate the crack opening displacement and stress distribution of the bar element in the crack body under the maximum external load of the cyclic load. When unloading from the maximum external load to the minimum external load, update the crack opening displacement, bar element stress and length. Then reload from the minimum external load to the next maximum external load. Iteratively solve the load corresponding to the initiation point of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip. Repeat the above steps until the fatigue crack extends to the termination crack length corresponding to the test conditions. This will obtain the relationship between the load at the initiation point of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip and the fatigue crack length. Extract the load at the initiation point of cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip that enters a stable state as the crack length changes, and calculate the ratio between this load and the maximum load. S403. Based on the experimental load conditions, multiple fatigue crack propagation analyses were conducted by changing the plastic constraint factor in the improved strip yield model to obtain the polynomial fitting relationship between the plastic constraint factor and the ratio of the load at the crack tip cyclic plastic damage initiation point to the maximum load under different stress ratios.
[0052] It should be noted that, based on the geometric dimensions of the specimen used in the experiment, the initial crack length corresponding to the experimental conditions was set. The crack surface and crack tip plastic zone of the crack body were discretized into several ideal elastoplastic rod elements.

CPD / P max The relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the effective driving force ΔK for fatigue crack propagation, which characterizes cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip, is established. CPD The relationship between these factors allows for the processing of fatigue crack propagation rate data to obtain the baseline fatigue crack propagation rate (ΔK) for the corresponding metallic material. CPD (~da / dN data). The specific solution process for the baseline fatigue crack propagation rate of metallic materials is as follows: Step S1: Based on national standards, select a standard fatigue crack propagation specimen (such as a compact tensile specimen or a central crack tensile specimen) to conduct fatigue crack propagation tests under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios, and process the test data to obtain the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the crack propagation rate da / dN of the metallic material under constant amplitude load with different stress ratios R (R~ΔK~da / dN data).

Figure 2 As shown, based on the results of elastoplastic finite element analysis, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement along the crack surface of the crack body under different loads and crack lengths is extracted. The elastoplastic crack opening displacement consists of the actual crack opening displacement and the virtual crack opening displacement. The actual crack opening displacement is extracted by the nodal displacement (the component perpendicular to the crack surface) of the physical crack surface of the crack body. For the virtual crack opening displacement located on the virtual crack surface (the plastic region at the crack tip), it is obtained by integrating the plastic strain component perpendicular to the crack surface: In the formula, V(x) represents the virtual crack opening displacement at position x along the crack surface, σ0 is the flow stress, and E' is the effective elastic modulus of the material. Let a be the plastic strain component perpendicular to the crack plane, and r be the crack length. p This represents the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip.

[0066] For the test load and crack length in step S2, based on the strip yielding model, the elastoplastic crack opening displacement V(x) of the crack body under different test loads and crack lengths is calculated using the weight function of the standard fracture specimen: In the formula, d is the virtual crack length of the crack body, that is, the physical crack length a and the crack tip plastic zone size r. p The sum of these values, E΄ being the effective elastic modulus of the material, W being the characteristic width of the crack, x being the distance along the crack line, m(d / W, x / d) being the universal analytical weight function of the crack, and K... ref (τ) is the stress intensity factor at the crack tip under the test load when the crack length is τ, which can be expressed as: In the formula, τ is the crack length, and σ is the crack length. ref (x) represents the stress distribution along the crack line of the cracked body used in the experiment under a reference external load when no crack exists. m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the cracked body, λ is the plastic constraint factor, x is the distance along the crack line, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength. When calculating the elastic-plastic crack opening displacement of the cracked body, the virtual crack length d can be solved iteratively based on the strip yield model using the following expression: In the formula, σ ref (x) represents the stress distribution along the crack line of the cracked body used in the experiment when there is no crack, under the action of a reference external load, m(d / W, x / d) is the general analytical weight function of the cracked body, λ is the plastic constraint factor, x is the distance along the crack line, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength.
[0067] Step S4: Based on the test load P-crack length a-plastic constraint factor λ data obtained through calibration in step S3, calculate the corresponding plane stress crack tip plastic zone size r. p0 : In the formula, K is the stress intensity factor of the cracked body under the test external load when the crack length is a, and σ0 is the flow stress of the cracked body material, which is the average of the yield strength and tensile strength.
[0068] Based on the specimen thickness B and the calculated plane stress crack tip plastic zone size r p0 The test load P-crack length a-plastic constraint factor λ data were converted into normalized specimen thickness B / r. p0 - Plastic constraint factor λ data. The normalized specimen thickness B / r is fitted using the expression shown below. p0 Relationship with plastic constraint factor λ: In the formula, λ maxFor when B / r p0 → The lower limit of λ when it reaches 0 is 1; min For when B / r p0 The upper limit of λ as it approaches infinity is 1 / (1-2v), where v is the material's Poisson's ratio, B is the sample thickness, and r is the upper limit of λ as it approaches infinity. p0 Let k and b be the dimensions of the plastic zone at the crack tip under the plane stress corresponding to the current experimental external load, and let b be the coefficients determined by fitting. By fitting, the values of parameters k and b can be determined, thereby establishing an empirical expression describing the three-dimensional constraint state of the cracked body used in the experiment.

[0100] In summary, traditional methods using the national standard (GB / T6398 Metallic Materials—Fatigue Testing—Fatigue Crack Propagation Methods) to conduct fatigue crack propagation rate tests on standard fracture specimens show significant stress ratio effects and specimen thickness dependence in the measured fatigue crack propagation rate data (ΔK~da / dN data). The effective driving force ΔK for crack propagation, which characterizes cyclic plastic damage at the crack tip, needs further analysis. CPD Established baseline for fatigue crack propagation rate (ΔK) CPD ~da / dN data can effectively unify fatigue crack propagation rate curves under different stress ratios and specimen thicknesses. However, existing testing methods rely on digital image correlation (DIC) technology or strain gauges to accurately monitor the plastic deformation and local compliance at the crack tip, thereby achieving effective driving force ΔK. CPD The measurement of this type of test method has the disadvantages of being complex in measurement and cumbersome in data processing, and the effective driving force of the measurement ΔK is limited. CPD It is susceptible to noise in digital signals.
[0101] This invention proposes a baseline test method for fatigue crack propagation rate. Based on elastoplastic finite element analysis combined with an improved strip yield model, the relationship between the normalized thickness of the specimen, stress ratio, and plastic constraint factor is established, thereby establishing the relationship between the stress intensity factor amplitude ΔK and the effective driving force ΔK for fatigue crack propagation. CPD The real-time mapping relationship between the two is obtained. The baseline of the fatigue crack propagation rate of the material is indirectly obtained through ΔK~da / dN obtained by national standard testing. Compared with existing testing methods, this method does not require the introduction of additional measurement equipment and has the advantages of simple measurement, low measurement cost and high data processing efficiency, and can achieve accurate measurement of the fatigue crack propagation rate baseline.
