doi:10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2023.16.001

Abstract

Abstract: Aiming at the damage evolution problems of rolling bearings, fatigue crack propagation mechanism was studied via XFEM. The reliability of the XFEM was verified by an example. An XFEM model of rolling contact fatigue with subsurface initial crack was proposed through fracture mechanics theory. The influencing mechanism of initial crack angle, depth and length on the propagation life and growth path of cracks in subsurfaces were analysed. Crack propagation mechanism was studied through analyzed the variation of stress intensity factors. Results show that sliding mode is the main growth mode of initial cracks in subsurface. The crack angle has a great influence on the fatigue crack growth path. The initial cracks with angle in the 15~45 degree range are easy to change the grow direction to surface which lead to fatigue spall. The crack size and depth have little effects on the morphology of the crack propagation path, but will affect the difficulty of crack propagation.

Key words: extended finite element method(XFEM), crack propagation, rolling contact fatigue, mechanism

摘要： 针对滚动轴承的疲劳剥落损伤演化问题，采用扩展有限元方法研究疲劳裂纹扩展机理，通过算例验证了扩展有限元方法的可靠性。运用断裂力学理论建立了包含次表面初始裂纹的滚动接触疲劳扩展有限元模型，分析了初始裂纹倾斜角度、所处深度和初始裂纹长度对次表面裂纹生长到表面的扩展路径影响机制，通过分析应力强度因子变化研究了裂纹扩展机理。研究结果表明，次表面疲劳裂纹以滑开型裂纹扩展模式为主；初始裂纹角度对疲劳裂纹扩展路径影响较大，初始裂纹角度在15°~45°时裂纹会转向表面发展而形成疲劳剥落；初始裂纹尺寸和深度对裂纹扩展路径形貌的影响较小，但会影响裂纹扩展的难易程度。
