Influence of Surface Crack Propagation on Ring-Shell Structure

Abstract

In this paper, the surface cracks of deep-sea ring-shell structures are studied. In this paper, the geometric and physical parameters of 1000m underwater titanium alloy ring shell structure were analyzed. Firstly, the mathematical model of its relevant contour curve was obtained by combining with the parameter equation. Based on the mathematical model, the finite element model was established and the force analysis under static equilibrium condition was carried out. Secondly, the stress maximum point was solved by finite element analysis, and the initial crack was added at the stress maximum point. The stress intensity factor method was used to analyze the stress intensity factor and crack propagation. Finally, according to the physical parameter load, stress ratio, morphology coefficient and different Angle analysis, the influence factors that interfere with crack growth and the dynamic trend of crack morphology were evaluated. Aiming at the study of dynamic performance of cracked ring-shell structure, the crack characteristic curves under different complex working conditions were analyzed to deepen the research in related fields and provide some scientific reference for the study of related ring-shell structure.
