Vers la prévision de la rupture de disque de turbomachine : apport de la corrélation d'image numérique

摘要

This thesis addresses the amelioration of the burst prediction of turbo-engines rotating parts.The principal axis of this study was the identification of the material behaviour up fracture under multi-axial loading and the identification of the local condition at failure. To accomplish this, an integrated digital image correlation approach was employed.The other thematic axis of this thesis was the objective and robust prediction of rupture using the damage mechanics in the framework of explicit simulations and the study of the influence, on the prediction, of various scaling techniques used to decrease the computation time.Two materials were studied, the titanium alloy TA6V and the nickel alloy Udimet 500. The samples were defined to guarantee similar loading conditions as those in the disks in service and to allow the use of field measurement techniques.A commercial code (ABAQUS) is used in an integrated approach to Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The principle of this method is to optimize the correlation of the test directly with the model parameters without passing by an intermediate procedure requiring the reconstruction of the deformation field beforehand. This technique, which can be seen as highly regularising, grants a considerable robustness to the method, which allows obtaining information from degraded speckle patterns encountered at the end of the test. The entire set of constitutive parameters can be identified with only one heterogeneous test. Within this study, a particular accent was laid on the analysis of triaxiality fields by using thin and thick samples. The importance of these fields for the fracture conditions is suspected.Constitutive models were identified for plastic strains that were about three times higher than the ones achievable in uniaxial tensile test on smooth sample.The close integration of the experiments and simulations allowed the analysis of deformation and stresses of the elements near the failure surface at the instant just before failure. This allowed the testing of different criteria with a large amount of data.For the second axis of the thesis, preliminary studies examined the possibility to use limited damage rate models combined with scaling techniques. These latter allow performing explicit simulations in context of a centrifugal quasi-static loading. The results show that acceleration is possible. The errors of the rotational speeds, which lead to disk fracture, are relatively low. The simulation times are comparable to implicit quasi-static simulations, while the main advantage is the maintained robustness in explicit simulations.
