Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The application relates to a creep load equivalent acceleration method, and in particular to an equivalent acceleration method of creep loads based on a consistent failure mode.


BACKGROUND

Aeroengines, gas turbines and other engineering structures work in high temperatures and high stress environment for a long time, power states of which change all the time, inevitably suffer from the creep load under variable temperatures and variable loads, and eventually lead to failure. However, the service life of engineering structures is often as long as thousands or even tens of thousands of hours. If the creep load under actual working conditions is used to test its service life and reliability, there are disadvantages such as long test time and high costs. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the equivalent acceleration of creep loads under the premise of the consistent failure mode to shorten the test time, which means accelerating small creep loads to large creep load states based on the principle of a consistent failure mode and damage equivalence. However, the current creep load equivalent acceleration method does not follow the principle of the consistent failure mode, and the adopted damage equivalent acceleration method has low accuracy, which makes the test results have a large deviation from the actual engineering application period.


SUMMARY

The objective of the present application is to provide an equivalent acceleration method of creep loads based on the consistent failure mode, so as to perform equivalent acceleration of creep loads more simply and accurately.


To achieve the above objective, the application adopts the following technical scheme:

    • an equivalent acceleration method of creep loads based on consistent failure mode, including the following steps:
    • S1, obtaining corresponding tensile strengths σbi at different temperatures Ti through high-temperature tensile tests of materials, wherein i=1, 2, 3 . . . , n;
    • S2, obtaining corresponding creep rupture time tf, rupture strain εf and a minimum creep rate {dot over (ε)}m at different stress temperatures (σi,Ti) through a high temperature creep test of materials;
    • S3, establishing a rupture time law, a minimum creep rate law and a rupture strain law, and then obtaining a creep damage tolerance factor under a corresponding stress-temperature (σi,Ti) combination;
    • S4, obtaining a creep duration ti of each grade of stress-temperature (σi,Ti) combination through a creep test of materials under variable temperatures and variable loads;
    • S5, calculating a value of parameter p in a creep damage accumulation model by combining the tensile strengths σbi at all grades of temperature obtained in S1, rupture time tfi at all grades of stress-temperature (σi,Ti) combination obtained in S2 and the creep duration ti at all grades obtained in S4 based on a multi-grade variable temperatures and variable loads creep nonlinear damage accumulation mode;
    • S6, calculating damage tolerance factor value λ corresponding to each grade of creep load according to the creep damage tolerance factor obtained in S3, and dividing failure mode consistency interval of the creep load with variable temperatures and variable loads according to the damage tolerance factor value λ; and
    • S7, calculating the damage caused by the creep load in the failure mode consistency interval respectively by using the multi-grade variable temperature and variable load creep nonlinear damage accumulation model, and accelerating the caused damage to the maximum creep load state in the failure mode consistency interval according to the principle of damage equivalence, and finally realizing the equivalent acceleration of creep load.


In S1, the high-temperature tensile test of materials is carried out on an electro-hydraulic servo fatigue tester.


In S2, the high-temperature creep test of materials is carried out on a creep tester, and a series of creep tests under different stress-temperature (σi,Ti) combinations are carried out.
