The application discloses a thermal-mechanical
fatigue crack propagation rate testing method based on rigidity and crack tip strain field, comprising the following steps: firstly, a relationship function between normalized crack length and normalized rigidity is established through finite element calculation; secondly, DIC speckle preparation is carried out for observing crack propagation and strain
field analysis; then, a thermal-mechanical fatigue test is carried out, crack length is calculated based on rigidity change results of the test, an a-N relationship curve is drawn combined with DIC synchronous observation results, and comparative analysis is carried out; finally, crack
propagation rate is calculated through a three-point
moving average secant method, and the size of a plastic zone at a crack tip is determined according to DIC strain
field analysis, so that the accurate test of the crack
propagation rate is realized. The application can effectively test the
fatigue crack propagation behavior under the thermal-mechanical
coupling effect, and accurately obtain the thermal-mechanical
fatigue crack propagation rate combined with the crack tip strain field measurement method, so as to provide
test data support for
damage tolerance design and structure integrity evaluation of high-temperature pressure-bearing equipment.
