This invention relates to the technical field of materials
mechanics testing, and provides a
creep-
fatigue testing device and method for determining test parameters for thin-walled tube structures. The device includes: a clamping
assembly, a rigid inner plug, a split outer clamp, and a positioning pin; the rigid inner plug is connected to an external loading
system via a connecting structure; a
temperature control assembly, including a heating mechanism and a cooling mechanism; the heating and cooling mechanisms are arranged along the axial direction of the thin-walled
tube structure to form a gauge-length heating zone and a clamping cooling zone; and a measurement
assembly for acquiring the
axial deformation parameters and temperature parameters of the thin-walled
tube structure during the test. This invention balances clamping stability and specimen integrity, allowing direct
creep-
fatigue testing of thin-walled tube structures while fully preserving the inherent shape, size, and
stress distribution characteristics of the thin-walled
tube structure; it achieves precise zonal control of damage
modes, constructing a differentiated damage
system on a single thin-walled tube structure, and accurately controlling the damage evolution rate in each region.
