摘要:
为提升航空发动机轮盘关键部位疲劳寿命评估精度,支撑长寿命高可靠性轮盘设计,聚焦轮盘偏心孔低周疲劳寿命精准预测,提出三参数临界距离模型,解决传统临界距离模型因应力梯度与寿命复杂关联导致拟合精度受限问题。核心创新在于:引入归一化应力梯度与高应力区尺寸,建立三参数临界距离表达式,揭示应力梯度与临界距离的强相关性,通过缺口件试验验证高/低应力梯度下临界距离随寿命的差异化演变规律,构建完整寿命评估流程,结合弹塑性有限元仿真与Smith-Watson-Topper疲劳寿命模型,实现临界距离的直接解算与寿命精准预测。轮盘偏心孔模拟件低周疲劳试验验证表明,所提出的三参数临界距离模型将寿命预测误差从传统方法的3倍分散带外精准至1.5倍分散带内,显著提升轮盘应力集中部位的寿命预测精度,为航空发动机轮盘强度设计、安全裕度优化及延寿决策提供直接支撑,具有重要工程实用价值。
Abstract:To enhance the fatigue life assessment accuracy for critical regions of aero-engine turbine disks and support high-reliability, long-life disk design, the challenge of accurate low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life prediction for disk eccentric bore structures was addressed. An innovative three-parameter critical distance (TCD) model was proposed to overcome the limitations of traditional TCD models, which suffered from restricted fitting accuracy due to the complex relationship between stress gradients and fatigue life. The core innovations lied in: introducing normalized maximum stress gradient and high-stress zone dimensions to characterize stress gradient effects, establishing the three-parameter critical distance expression; revealing a strong correlation between stress gradients and critical distance, and validating through notch specimen LCF tests demonstrating differential evolution of critical distance with life under contrasting high and low stress gradients; establishing a comprehensive life assessment framework integrating elastoplastic finite element simulation with the Smith-Watson-Topper fatigue life model, enabling direct critical distance calculation and accurate life prediction. Validation via LCF testing on simulated disk eccentric bore specimens demonstrated that the proposed model significantly reduced life prediction error, bringing results from outside the triple error dispersion band of traditional methods to within a 1.5-fold dispersion band. A substantial improvement in prediction accuracy for life-critical regions with stress concentrations was achieved, directly supporting the aero-engine turbine disk strength design, safety margin optimization, and life extension decision-making, and underscoring its significant practical engineering value.
