Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of fatigue strength testing of metal materials, in particular to a clamping device suitable for testing the tensile fatigue performance of linear materials. Background Art

[0002] In the field of material science research and engineering applications, fatigue performance testing of linear materials (such as metal wire, plastic wire, glass fiber, etc.) is crucial. Fatigue performance testing can reflect the performance changes of materials under cyclic loads, providing an important basis for material selection, design, optimization and service life prediction. However, traditional fatigue performance testing methods for linear materials have many shortcomings, such as unstable clamping, low test accuracy, and complex operation, which limit the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0003] There are already some clamping devices on the market for testing the tensile fatigue performance of linear materials, but these clamping devices are either for linear materials with thicker diameters (more than 1mm), or most of them have the disadvantage of unreasonable design leading to failure of the linear materials at the connection, which makes it difficult to meet the effective and accurate testing needs; there are no clamping devices and testing methods for testing the tensile fatigue performance of linear materials with a diameter of less than 300 microns. At present, the fatigue performance test of linear materials with a diameter of less than 300 microns generally adopts a rotating bending type clamping device and testing method; under this testing method, the bending stress borne by the linear material is often inconsistent with the tensile fatigue load actually borne by the linear material, and the fatigue performance of the material under different load forms is often inconsistent, and cannot be directly compared.

[0004] Therefore, developing a clamping device for testing the tensile fatigue performance of linear materials with simple structure, convenient operation, stable clamping and high test accuracy is of great significance for improving the accuracy and reliability of fatigue performance testing of linear materials. At the same time, the promotion and application of this device will help promote the development of material science research and engineering applications, and provide strong support for innovation in related fields.

[0029] The elastic coefficient of the spring 2 in this embodiment is less than 5 N / mm, which is convenient for maintaining the preload of the spring 2 during the fatigue test; the smaller the spring elastic coefficient, the smaller the change in the preload.

[0030] The sample upper fixture 3 of this embodiment is provided with a center hole A19, and long-rod bolt through holes A18 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the center hole A19. After the long-rod bolt 1 passes through the long-rod bolt through hole A18, it is tightened and positioned by a nut. The sample upper fixture 3 is provided with a slit 9 for installing the linear material 10 after tensioning, and the slit 9 is connected to the center hole A19.

[0037] The testing method of the utility model comprises the following steps:

[0045] Step H, unloading until the linear material 10 bends, clearing the load, and then starting the fatigue test.

[0046] Experimental example

[0047] The utility model is further explained by taking the ultra-high strength steel cord monofilament as an example. The ultra-high strength steel cord refers to ST225 with a strength of 3000-3500 MPa.

[0048] In this experimental example, a 150mm long M5 screw rod is used as the long rod bolt 1, a spring 2 with an elastic coefficient of 5N / mm is used, the sample upper fixture 3 is made of 5mm thick aluminum alloy, the sample lower fixture 5 is made of 3mm thick aluminum alloy, and the fatigue machine connecting piece 6 is made of 2.5mm thick aluminum alloy. In the horizontal fixing device: the adjustable length range of the tensioner 7 is the shortest 120mm and the longest 200mm, and the diameter of the U-bolt 8 is M6.

[0049] In the experimental example, the maximum fatigue load of the ultra-high strength steel cord monofilament is between 70N and 85N, and the stress ratio of the fatigue load is 0.1. Therefore, the combined preload force of the two springs 2 is between 31.5N and 38.3N. Each time the fatigue load is adjusted, the preload of the spring 2 needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0050] Fix the fatigue machine connecting piece 6 to the fatigue machine; assemble the long rod bolt 1, spring 2, sample upper clamp 3 and nut A4 so that the resultant force of the pre-stress of the two springs 2 is the amplitude of the fatigue load, and the pre-stress of the spring 2 is retained by limiting with the double nut A4; fix the two ends of the linear material 10 with a winding clamp and load to the average value of the fatigue load; mount the assembled long rod bolt 1, spring 2, sample upper clamp 3 and nut A4 on the sample, and connect them to the fatigue machine connecting piece 6, and fix them with the double nut C15; load to the maximum value of the fatigue load; mount the sample lower clamp 5 on the sample and fix it with the double nut B14; measure the distance between the linear material 10 and the fatigue machine column 12, install the tensioner 7 and the U-bolt baffle assembly, and ensure that the distance between the linear material 10 and the fatigue machine column 12 does not change; unload until the wire is slightly bent, clear the load, and then start the fatigue test.

[0051] The stability of the fatigue test process is mainly reflected in the stability of the load cycle and the stability of the sample. Stable cyclic load is a necessary condition to ensure the accuracy of the test results. The stability of the sample is reflected in the fact that its strain response under cyclic load remains stable, which can be characterized by displacement. The load and displacement during the loading process are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the load and displacement can remain stable.

[0052] The relationship between stress and life obtained from fatigue testing is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it can be used to evaluate the fatigue strength of the material. In this experimental example, the fatigue strength of the material is about 1990MPa.

[0053] The above description is only an implementation method of the utility model and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, expansion, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model are included in the protection scope of the utility model.
