Abstract

The object of research is the process of dynamic interaction of a complex system of cyclically symmetric parts of the support joint, taking into account the presence of stationary cracks. A significant number of structural elements and parts operated under dynamic loads are characterized by the occurrence and propagation of cracks in areas of significant plastic deformation. In particular, for the supporting device, it is a cyclically symmetric body with a limiting case of heterogeneity, under the action of pulsed loads, plastic flow zones arise at the boundaries of the joints of the cylindrical part with projections. If there are cracks in these areas, it becomes necessary to reliably determine the fracture parameters and predict the crack growth over time.To build models of this class of objects, one of the most universal and reliable numerical methods is the semi-analytical finite element method.In this paper, the results of calculating of the parameters of fracture mechanics on the basis of the semi-analytical method of finite elements are presented for an object with inhomogeneous physical and mechanical properties in the presence of stationary cracks under conditions of pulsed loading and plastic deformations. The numerical study is performed in two stages. At the first stage, the laws of the elastic-plastic dynamic deformation of the system are established. The most probable zones of damage accumulation and cracking are determined, which is the reason for the failure of structural elements. At the second stage, a model with a crack located in the zone of plastic deformations is considered, the calculated values of the dynamic stress intensity factors are studied, and their evolution over time is investigated.The obtained research results can be used in numerous calculations of inhomogeneous bodies with damage such as cracks in the conditions of elastic-plastic dynamic deformations.

Highlights

  • The desire to increase the life of critical objects of mo­ dern technology leads to the use of structural elements and parts in the presence of cracks

  • Analysis of known publications [1,2,3] shows that twodimensional bodies remain the main objects of study of fracture mechanics under dynamic loading

  • Taking into account the presence of cracks in the zones of plastic deformations is ensured by introducing into the design scheme specially developed dynamics problems for finite elements (FEs) with cracks

Summary

Introduction

The desire to increase the life of critical objects of mo­ dern technology leads to the use of structural elements and parts in the presence of cracks. Despite the technical difficulties and the high cost of conducting full-scale tests, solving the problems of calculating the dynamic parameters of the destruction of a specified class of objects using experimental methods is almost impossible In this connection, the need arises for a more in-depth theoretical study of the behavior of such structures and the creation of numerous corresponding means for determining the dynamic parameters of fracture mechanics. The problem of calculating the parameters of fracture mechanics on the SAFEM basis for bodies with inhomogeneous physicomechanical properties in the presence of cracks under conditions of pulsed loading is insufficiently covered in the literature This confirms the relevance of theoretical research. The aim of research is determination of the crack resistance parameters for parts of the above locking connection
