Example 1
Referring to fig. 1 to 2, the present embodiment provides a method for predicting fatigue endurance life of an automobile engine hood based on virtual simulation, including:
in step S1, a hood data model is established, and finite element mesh division is carried out on the hood data model to obtain a meshed hood model;
it should be noted that, the steps of the method in this embodiment are completed based on three-dimensional modeling software and finite element analysis software, and the process of describing the steps of the method is described based on three-dimensional modeling software and finite element analysis software interfaces and functions, and in this step, the engine hood data model may be exemplarily established through the Catia modeling software, and the engine hood Catia data model is imported into the Hypermesh Abaqus Explict module for finite element mesh model establishment, and it should be understood that, in this step, the engine hood model size is equivalent to the actual engine hood size, and meanwhile, the material attribute setting of the engine hood is the same as the actual vehicle engine hood material attribute;
in step S2, a welding joint is established between the gridding engine cover model sheet metal parts, and normalization treatment is carried out on the welding joint;
in this step, a welding joint is established between the meshed engine cover model sheet metal parts, the number of the welding joints can be set according to actual requirements, the welding joint is normalized at a Hypermesh Abaqus Explict module, the normalization process is that the welding joint adopts a surface contact method (ACM, area contact methods) before and after the welding joint normalization process, welding cores adopt hexahedral units C3D8I, and the diameter of the welding cores can be set to be 6mm; the welding cores are all connected with the joint sheet metal through the DCOUP3D unit.
Illustratively, before the normalization treatment of the welding joint, the sheet metal units of the welding joint are free and have insufficient consistency, so that the DCOUP3D units are connected in a scattered manner, and the node force and the torque of the welding joint DCOUP3D units are greatly influenced by the shape and the size of the sheet metal units of the joint. In order to solve the consistency of the sheet metal units of the welding joint, the welding joints are connected by adopting Bar or Beam units, and the sheet metal units connected by the Bar or Beam units are subjected to grid re-matching, so that the units of the upper sheet metal and the lower sheet metal at the welding joints are consistent. And finally, re-realizing the welding joint by adopting an ACM method, so as to obtain a normalized welding joint, wherein the normalizing treatment process of the welding joint is carried out in Hypermesh software, and the normalized welding joint is treated by a spot function under a connector panel.
The welding spot has a certain tenability, only one hexahedral unit C3D8I is utilized, the rigidity is overlarge, the welding core unit can not bear bending and shearing actions and can only bear stretching actions, three layers of hexahedral units are adopted, 36 welding cores are used for carrying out fine modeling, the upper and lower layers of connecting piece joint metal plates are connected by DCOUP3D units, the number of the DCOUP3D units after normalization processing is more than that before normalization processing, the uniformity is better, more force and torque information around the welding spot joint can be acquired more accurately, and the accuracy and reliability of durable fatigue of the welding spot are further improved.
It should be noted that, the weld core after normalization treatment has toughness, and can prevent the phenomenon of unit shearing locking in calculation, so that the weld core can bear stretching, bending and shearing actions, and meanwhile, the weld joint normalization treatment has the advantages that: the advantage that the Bar or Beam unit is used as a welding spot to enable the joint sheet metal unit to keep consistency is inherited; the contact effect of the metal plate surfaces of the joints is considered; the weld nugget has better toughness and can bear the functions of stretching, bending and shearing; the DCOUP3D unit obtains force and torque information around more welding joints, so that accuracy and reliability of durable fatigue of welding joints are improved.
In step S3, establishing a crushing type buffer block model grid-connected grid, endowing mechanical property attributes to the crushing type buffer block model, assembling the crushing type buffer block model to the surface of the grid type engine cover model inner plate to obtain an assembled engine cover model, and inputting mechanical property parameters meeting model constraint conditions to the assembled engine cover model;
in the step, as the model of the crushing type buffer block is complex, the equivalent modeling of mechanical properties is adopted for the crushing type buffer block model. The hood inner panel establishes an interaction with the crush boxes, the compression of which is determined by deformation of the Beam unit, and in order to prevent rotation of the Beam unit, rotational degrees of freedom are constrained to the nodes of the head and tail of the unit, preserving axial degrees of freedom.
As shown in fig. 2, the mechanical performance curve of the crushing type buffer block is given to the Beam unit by the attribute by using the compression displacement and force curve obtained by the test, and the crushing type buffer block gradually goes through the rubber compression stage, the action state stage of the crushing device, the crushing state stage of the crushing device and the complete failure state stage of the crushing device in the compression test process.
In some embodiments, after obtaining the results of the intensity analysis data of the dynamic analysis of the bonnet slamming display of the pedestrian protection system, it is necessary to extract the time course curve of the force and the compression amount when the crushing type buffer block interacts with the bonnet, and obtain the state stage that can be reached by the compression of the crushing type buffer block. And judging the rationality of the design of the engine cover according to the state stage which can be reached by compressing the crushing type buffer blocks. If the crushing type buffer block is compressed to enter a crushing state, the engine cover is unreasonable in design and is fed back and redesigned.
In step S4, establishing a truncated decorative vehicle body model grid-connected grid, and assembling the assembled engine cover model to the truncated decorative vehicle body model to obtain an analysis dynamics model;
in the step, after an engine cover analysis dynamics model is obtained, an engine cover opening and closing barycenter coordinate change value in the analysis dynamics model is obtained, and initial energy of engine cover closing and angular speed of engine cover initial rotation impact are obtained through calculation according to the barycenter coordinate change value; according to the initial energy of the engine cover closing and the angular speed of the engine cover initial rotation impact, endowing the engine cover with initial potential energy of the engine cover closing and the angular speed of the initial rotation impact;
the method includes the steps of (1) rotating a bonnet to a preset opening angle according to design specification requirements to obtain barycenter coordinates G1 (X1, Y1, Z1) of the bonnet in a preset opening angle state, rotating the bonnet to a closed state again to obtain barycenter G0 (X0, Y0, Z0) of the bonnet in the closed state, and calculating initial slamming energy and angular speed of initial rotational impact of the bonnet according to a formula; if the engine cover mounting hinge adopts a four-bar structure, the intersection point formed by the mutual intersection of the connecting lines of the rotation centers of the two connecting bars is the rotating shaft of the engine cover in a slightly opened state;
the calculation formula of the initial energy of the engine cover closing and the angular speed of the engine cover initial rotation impact is as follows:
in the method, in the process of the invention,the height of the engine cover from a preset opening angle to a closing state gravity center change according to design requirements; />The engine cover rotates at an angular speed in a slightly opened state; />Is the mass of the hood; />Is the gravitational field acceleration;is the rotational inertia of the bonnet about the bonnet axis of rotation; />Is the vertical distance between the center of gravity of the engine cover and the rotating shaft of the engine cover in the slightly opened state of the engine cover;
in step S5, setting and debugging the boundary conditions and mechanical parameters of the analysis dynamics model, performing intensity analysis calculation on the debugged analysis dynamics model, and obtaining an energy variation value and a longest oscillation period of the engine cover according to the intensity analysis calculation;
in the step, the engine cover in the analysis dynamics model is rotated to a slight-opening state, the lock mechanism is in an opening state, and initial acceleration is given to all nodes on the engine cover; the whole engine cover strong-closure analysis shows that the dynamic model applies a gravity field; adding all degree of freedom constraints at the cut-off position of the model, and establishing a hinge unit at the rotation connection position of the engine cover and the lock structure; the display calculation time can be preset to be 0.1s, and the setting of quality scaling and contact correlation is properly completed; finishing related boundary condition setting, and performing related output setting such as energy, stress, node force, displacement and the like; and debugging the model and submitting the model for calculation of intensity analysis.
Further, importing analysis result data into the hyperview, running a closing action animation and outputting an energy curve to obtain the longest oscillation period of the engine cover; the time history curve of the force and the compression amount when the crushing type buffer block interacts with the engine cover is required to be extracted. If the working state of the crushing type buffer block does not enter the stage of the crushing state, the crushing type engine cover is indicated to accord with the design expectation; if the working state of the crushing type buffer block enters the crushing state stage, the crushing type engine cover is not satisfied with the design expectation.
It should be noted that in this step, it is necessary to ensure whether the hood lock catch can be locked by the locking structure during the whole process of closing the impact rebound; second, it is also necessary to see the energy change to ensure that the internal energy is positive, the hourglass energy is less than 10% of the maximum peak of the internal energy, and the ratio of total energy to initial energy is close to 1. And finally, acquiring a Z-displacement curve of a plurality of points of front and rear corner points of the outer plate of the engine cover, acquiring the longest oscillation period of the engine cover, and defining the time of 3 times of the Z-displacement curve passing through the 0-axis bottom as the longest oscillation period, namely comprising one impact and rebound.
In step S6, determining a load data value according to all load steps in the longest oscillation period of the engine cover, and respectively performing sheet metal fatigue durability analysis and welding spot fatigue durability analysis on the analysis dynamics model according to the load data value to obtain the fatigue durability service life of the engine cover.
In the step, the correct analysis result data is imported into Ncode software to respectively carry out sheet metal fatigue durability analysis and welding spot fatigue durability analysis; fatigue durability load data is derived from all load steps during the longest hood oscillation period. The fatigue durability analysis of the metal plate needs to input all S-N fatigue life curves of the inspected metal plate, and the fatigue durability analysis of the welding spots needs to input the S-N fatigue life curves of the metal plate of the welding core welding spot joint; in addition, because the modeling mode of ACM is adopted, the actual size of the welding core is determined by the force and torque equivalent to the welding core of the DCOUP3D unit connected with the welding core, and the software calculates the difference between the size of the welding core and the size of the actual welding core. Therefore, the size of the welding core is normalized and unified.
Illustratively, an advanced edit operation interface is opened under the welding spot analysis module, the diameter of welds is modified to be 6mm, and the normalization of the size of the welding core is completed. And finally, respectively submitting analysis and calculation of the fatigue endurance life of the metal plate and the welding spot, and outputting the respective fatigue life. If the fatigue life of the metal plate and the welding spot meets the expected design requirement, data archiving treatment is carried out; if the fatigue life of the metal plate and the welding point is not satisfied, or one of the metal plate and the welding point does not satisfy the expected design requirement, an optimization scheme needs to be provided and fed back to the forward design.
In the method, a truncated decorative vehicle body model and a bonnet model are built in three-dimensional software, finite element gridding and assembling are carried out on the models, an analysis display dynamics model is obtained, connection of welding joints and endowment of relevant attributes are established between bonnet model sheet metal parts, normalization treatment is carried out on the welding joints, refined modeling is carried out on welding cores, meanwhile, the longest oscillation period time of a bonnet of an automobile pedestrian protection system is determined, and impact load can be accurately obtained for predicting fatigue endurance life; normalizing the sizes of the welding joint and the welding core, and carrying out fine modeling on the welding core, so that the contact effect of the metal plate surface of the joint is fully considered; the weld nugget has better toughness and can bear the functions of stretching, bending and shearing; and acquiring more force and torque information around the welding point joint, so as to improve the accuracy and reliability of the endurance fatigue of the welding point.
The modeling difficulty of the crushing type buffer blocks is simplified by the model processing of the crushing type buffer blocks of the engine hood of the pedestrian protection system of the automobile, and the modeling efficiency is improved. The equivalent treatment of the mechanical properties of the crushing type buffer blocks of the engine hood of the pedestrian protection system guarantees the mechanical properties of the crushing type buffer blocks when in action, and ensures the coincidence with the actual action; the method for predicting the endurance life of the engine cover of the pedestrian protection system of the automobile based on the virtual simulation digital technology in the design and research stage is provided, the endurance life of the accumulated opening and closing of the engine cover of the pedestrian protection system of the automobile is predicted on the premise of ensuring that the pedestrian protection system is not started, the damage of a physical test to a buffer structure can be reduced, and the aims of reducing cost and enhancing efficiency can be achieved.
