Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aero-engine component testing, specifically relating to a reference specimen, a marking specimen, and a method for marking vibration fatigue limit testing. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, aircraft engine components are marked with unique serial numbers for traceability. These serial numbers are generated by leaving permanent marks on the surface of the components using mechanical, pneumatic, laser, or electrochemical methods, known as marking. Marking can cause defects on the material surface and lead to stress concentration. In particular, the high temperature generated by laser marking can cause a remelted layer to form on the material surface, greatly reducing the material's fatigue resistance.
[0003] Aero-engine rotor components such as gears and bladed disks are subjected to large alternating vibration loads. If there is a certain vibration stress at the marking location, it may lead to high-cycle fatigue failure of the components. Such failure modes have already occurred in aero-engines. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the impact of markings on the fatigue performance of materials and provide a reference for the setting of markings on aero-engine rotor components.
[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN119560073A discloses a method for designing rapid vibration fatigue test specimens. The method designs a reference specimen for vibration fatigue testing. The reference specimen includes a clamping section, a narrow waist section, and a counterweight section. By adjusting the structural dimensions of the counterweight section and the narrow waist section, the maximum point of the first-order bending vibration stress of the specimen is made to fall at the narrow neck of the narrow waist section, which is the vibration fatigue initiation crack position. During the test, the specimen is fixed on the vibration table by the clamping section.
[0005] This application uses a dynamic similarity method to enlarge or reduce the reference specimen, and designs a vibration fatigue specimen that matches the size of existing parts. The counterweight section is enlarged or reduced proportionally. That is, the counterweight of the counterweight section of the reference specimen in this application can only be changed by setting different reference specimens. This not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also reduces the test efficiency.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of the invention. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of the invention and are merely examples, not intended to limit the invention.
[0027] 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 embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Different excitation tables have different excitation frequencies, and the reference specimen with the same counterweight cannot meet the needs of different excitation tables. The reference specimen that needs to be excited by the excitation table at 3000 Hz cannot meet the needs of the excitation table below 3000 Hz. In the existing technology, different reference specimens are used to adapt to the use of different excitation tables. This method requires the manufacture of a sufficient number of reference specimens to meet the test requirements, resulting in high test costs and low test efficiency.
[0029] The first aspect of this embodiment provides a reference specimen for marking vibration fatigue limit tests, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, the reference specimen is an integral structure, comprising: The clamping section 10, the narrow waist section 20, and the counterweight section 30 are connected in sequence; The clamping section 10 is used to connect to the vibration test bench; the narrow waist section 20 and the counterweight section 30 are in a cantilever state during the test; the counterweight section 30 has a counterweight hole 31, which is used to connect counterweight structures of different weights.
[0030] The aforementioned reference specimen can be used with different excitation tables and meet various test requirements simply by changing the weight of the counterweight structure; it has the advantages of reducing costs and improving test efficiency.

[0032] In some embodiments, the counterweight hole 31 is a threaded hole. Since the counterweight hole 31 is a threaded hole, the corresponding counterweight structure can be screws of different weights. By replacing screws of different weights, different counterweights can be achieved, thereby adjusting the frequency of the sample to meet different testing requirements.
[0033] The second aspect of this embodiment provides a marking specimen for marking vibration fatigue limit testing, which is prepared based on the aforementioned reference specimen, combined with...

The distance between the mark 60 and the front of the clamping section 10 is L, and it is centered (the width of the clamping section 10 is B, and the center of the mark 60 is located at B / 2). The height H of the mark 60 is set according to the sample size.
[0036] The third aspect of this embodiment provides a method for determining the marking area of a sample, including the following steps: Get Figure 1 The reference sample mentioned above; Finite element analysis was performed on the reference specimen to obtain the stress distribution of the first-order bending vibration mode; combined with Figure 4 As shown, according to the finite element analysis, the stress gradient of the reference specimen is uniform, and the stress gradient direction is a plane that increases from front to back and then decreases; the maximum stress of the first-order bending vibration mode of the reference specimen is... Maximum vibration modal stress Located at the edge of the plane of the narrow waist section 20, it is the location of vibration fatigue crack initiation of the reference specimen. There is no stress concentration phenomenon in the narrow waist section 20, which greatly improves the success rate of the test. Combination Figure 5 As shown, the maximum stress of the first-order bending vibration mode is... The area covered by 90% or more of the stress is defined as the marking area 40.
[0037] The fourth aspect of this embodiment provides a method for preparing a stamped sample, including the following steps: The marking area 40 is determined according to the method described above; A mark 60 is designed and processed within the mark area 40 to obtain a mark sample; for example, the mark sample may be as follows: Figure 2 The structure shown.
[0038] In this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the process and type of processing mark 60. All mark types and processes in the prior art should be within the scope of protection of this invention. For example, the mark type can be mechanical mark, pneumatic mark, laser mark, or laser-enhanced mark; the mark process can be at least one of laser power, scanning speed, and pulse frequency.
[0039] The fifth aspect of this embodiment provides a method for marking vibration fatigue limit test, including the following steps: Obtain the marking sample described above; The clamping section 10 of the marked sample is installed on the vibration test bench; Start the vibration test bench and conduct a vibration fatigue test on the marked specimen at its first-order bending vibration frequency; Record the stress level at which the marked specimen fails due to fatigue in order to evaluate the vibration fatigue performance of the marked 60, i.e., obtain the fatigue limit.
[0040] For example, the stress level is obtained as According to stress level and sensitivity The analysis yields the fatigue limit, specifically: Fatigue limit = / .in: ; To mark the first-order modal stress at the patch point of the specimen, The maximum stress in the first-order bending vibration mode at the marked location.
[0041] For example, in the Mark 60 vibration fatigue limit test, the structure used to obtain stress can be a strain gauge 50, combined with... Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the bonding position of strain gauge 50 is indicated.
[0042] The sixth aspect of this embodiment provides a method for evaluating a marking method, including the following steps: Multiple labeled samples were prepared using different labeling types and / or different labeling processes; Fatigue limit tests were performed on multiple marked specimens according to the method described above. Compare the test results to evaluate the impact of different marking types and / or different marking processes on vibration fatigue performance.
[0043] Based on the fatigue limit results of different marking types, the influence of marking on the fatigue limit can be obtained, thereby distinguishing the application scenarios of marking.
[0044] Furthermore, the marking process includes at least one of laser power, scanning speed, and pulse frequency.
[0045] Furthermore, the marking method includes mechanical marking, pneumatic marking, laser marking, or laser-enhanced marking.
