Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of damage prediction technology, specifically to a PI equivalent damage prediction method based on accumulated energy. Background Technology

[0002] Measuring devices (such as accelerometers) demonstrate excellent performance in high-overload impact testing; however, their reliability faces significant challenges in real-world applications. Engineering practice and theoretical analysis indicate that two main factors contribute to structural failure: peak impact value and... and impact pulse width When designing measurement devices, using methods that are too simplistic or overly complex to consider structural damage limits is detrimental to the rapid selection of structural dimensions in the early stages and the accuracy of subsequent testing.

[0003] Under single overload impact conditions, it is far from enough to know that a device can withstand a certain peak instantaneous impact. The cumulative effect of energy transferred during the impact process must be comprehensively considered. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an equivalent damage relationship with strong applicability under the impact dynamics theory to quantify the relationship between impact parameters and structural failure, thereby realizing the prediction of damage under dynamic impact environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to construct an equivalent damage relationship for quantifying impact parameters and structural failure, namely, a PI equivalent damage prediction method based on cumulative energy.

[0005] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for predicting PI equivalent damage based on accumulated energy includes the following steps:

[0007] 1) Establish a theoretical analysis model for the measuring device under inertial shock;

[0008] 2) Based on the measured acceleration data from the overload impact test, determine the form of the external inertial load for the theoretical analysis model established in step 1).

[0009] 3) Establish the functional expression of the variational principle for the theoretical analysis model;

[0010] 4) Discretize the functional expression established in step 3) in the spatial domain using rectangular elements (REUNC elements);

[0011] 5) Discretize the time domain using the symplectic time subdomain method;

[0012] 6) Taking the first variation of the discretized functional expression from step 5) and setting it equal to zero, we can obtain the recursive relation for the dynamic response by rearranging:

[0013]

[0014] In the formula, The initial displacement vector of each node of the rectangular element within the initial time subdomain. With the initial momentum vector The state array formed From The extracted submatrix is ​​related to the initial conditions, where the 0 before the "_" in the subscript indicates the initial state of the initial time subdomain. This is a column vector consisting of displacement and momentum parameters at all interpolation points in the time subdomain. for A matrix consisting of a zero matrix;

[0015] 7) Array the initial state matrix Δ of the initial time subdomain. 0_2k×1 (Initial displacement vector within the initial time subdomain) With the initial momentum vector Substitute each element (if it is zero) into step 6 to solve. Extract and calculate this time subdomain terminal state As the initial state of the next time subdomain Repeatedly solve for each time subdomain. The terminal states are passed sequentially until all subdomains have been calculated, and the displacement coefficients of all time subdomains are arrayed. ( After splicing, the dynamic response of the recovered elastic cantilever thin plate throughout the entire time history is expressed as:

[0016]

[0017] 8) Using the dynamic response expression obtained in step 7), take the displacement-related parameters. ( Calculate the average difference between four adjacent time steps of each rectangular element as the displacement change of the rectangular element. The acceleration of each node is calculated using the second-order central difference method, and the average acceleration of the four nodes of the rectangular element is taken as the acceleration of the rectangular element.

[0018] Calculate the strain energy increment of each rectangular element. :

[0033] 12) Analyze the dynamic response process of the device structure under test. Assuming the area under load is approximately constant, what is the transient pressure on the surface of the rectangular thin plate and the triangular mass block structure? With impulse It can be obtained as follows:

[0034]

[0035] in , These are the surface areas of the upper surfaces of the rectangular thin plate and the triangular mass block, respectively.

[0036] 13) Based on steps 11) and 12), construct the equivalent relationship between pressure and impulse under the cumulative energy state:

[0038] The critical damage point extracted in step 10) is used to obtain the transient pressure in step 12). With impulse The result calculated in step 9) Substitute into step 13) Seeking Thus, the equivalent damage relationship of PI is obtained:

[0039]

[0040] in This is the equivalent damage threshold;

[0041] 14) During damage prediction, the structural parameters of the device under test and the impact load parameters (peak acceleration) are used as the basis for prediction. Pulse width ), obtained through step 9) Then, by substituting this into step 13), the equivalent damage threshold is obtained. The transient pressure on the surface of the device under test is obtained through step 12). With impulse and draw The value will eventually be the actual value calculated. Value and equivalent damage threshold The comparison is performed. If the damage is greater than or equal to the damage threshold, it means that the measuring device is predicted to be damaged under the load. If the damage is less than the damage threshold, it means that the measuring device is predicted not to be damaged under the load.
