In order to study the fatigue characteristics of FRC/steel embedded T-joint, the vacuum forming process (VARTM) and stitching technology were used to make T-joint, and the tension-tension fatigue test was carried out on the joint using the Letry fatigue testing machine. According to the fatigue test results, the initial damage characteristics and damage evolution of T-joints under tension-tension fatigue load were studied; based on the two-parameter Weibull distribution model, fatigue reliability analysis of T-joint connection joints was carried out, and the distribution law of fatigue life of joints under different stress levels was fitted. The fatigue reliability function of joints under different stress levels was given, as well as the stress/life double logarithmic curve relationship (R-lnS-lnN curve) of joints under specified reliability levels. The results show that ln ln[1/R(N)] has a good linear relationship with lnN, and the fatigue life of T-joints follows Weibull distribution; the double logarithmic equation of fatigue life reliability establishes the relationship between reliability, fatigue life and fatigue stress, which can guide the fatigue reliability design and engineering application of joints.

Objective

In order to analyze the bending characteristics of a hyperbolic rotating thin shell, the complex two-dimensional mechanical problem is simplified into a one-dimensional bending problem based on Euler's Bernoulli beam theory.

Method

By analyzing the force and deformation characteristics of shells and belt beams, a structural mechanical model is established, and a double curvature rotating thin shell bending differential equation is obtained by combining the physical equation of plate and shell theory with the bending differential equation of a single-span beam. An empirical formula for typical stress is proposed and its accuracy verified by an ANSYS-based simulation.

Results

The results show that the error between the simulation and the formula is about 2.3%, which demonstrates the high accuracy of the formula in predicting typical stress and verifies the correctness of the theoretical calculation method.

Conclusion

The proposed method can provide useful references for the design and optimization of similar structure.
