Structural member strain measurement method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of structural stress measurement, in particular to a structural member strain measurement method and system.
Background
The local relative deformation of the object under the action of factors such as external force or non-uniform temperature field is directly related to the stress condition of the mechanical structure and is used as a main evaluation standard for structural damage and failure.
The strain measurement technology is mostly a resistance strain gage method: and adhering a resistance strain gauge on the surface of the measured structural member, wherein the resistance value of the strain gauge is linearly related to the strain of the surface of the structure, and the strain of the surface of the structure can be obtained by measuring the resistance change of the strain gauge. However, the method can only measure the surface strain of the structure one point by one point, and the strain gauge is easy to be debonded under the conditions of high-speed impact/large deformation, and a lead is required to be connected with the strain gauge.
In order to solve the above problems, the prior art provides an optical fiber method, which uses an optical fiber to replace the conventional strain gauge to measure the strain distribution of the structure. When the structure is deformed, the optical fiber is deformed and the refractive index is changed, and the deformation condition of each part of the optical fiber can be obtained by processing the optical signal measured by the receiving end. But as the stations increase, the quality of the measurement decreases.

Thereby ensuring the stability of the product quality of the spacecraft structural part.
Which comprises the following steps:
s1: and preparing the structural part to be tested by using the stress color-changing material. The structural part to be tested is prepared and molded by using the stress color-changing material, and the characteristic that the stress color-changing material generates color change when stressed is utilized, so that the strain position of the structural part to be tested and the strain degree of the strain position can be conveniently researched or observed by a designer.
Specifically, the stress color-changing material in this embodiment is a color-changing resin. As shown in fig. 2, the preparation of the structural member to be tested with the stress color change material includes the following implementation steps:
s101: and creating model data of the structural part to be tested. The model data in this embodiment is a 3D physical model diagram of the structural member to be measured, and may be a 2D coordinate parameter or a 2D design drawing of the structural member to be measured, or a combination of the three model data in some embodiments. The 3D physical model diagram in this embodiment may be imported from an existing file, or drawn by drawing software such as solidedge, solidworks, UG, and pro during the design process.

The material increase manufacturing system in this embodiment is 3D printing system, and the printing consumables in the printing system is regarded as to the resin that discolours, heaies up to semi-solid state in 3D printing system, extrudees out from the shower nozzle then, and the solidification of cooling in the external environment forms the structure that awaits measuring. In the printing process, a host computer in the 3D printing system controls the extrusion position and the extrusion amount of the spray head, and the structural part to be tested is printed layer by layer according to the slicing result so as to ensure the forming precision of the final structural part to be tested.
