报告摘要：
Engineering design and integrity assessment of mechanical structures subjected to cyclic thermal and mechanical loads is an important technological challenge, with long-term research and industrial implications. In order to improve industrial practice in structural design and life assessment, and advance the internationally-leading role of the UK in the assessment of industrial and commercial mechanical structures, in particular, in underpinning moves to the high temperature structures required for emissions reduction targets, novel direct methods, encapsulated in state-of-the art software, for the design and life assessment of mechanical structures, have been developed to enhance both UK’s R5 procedure for the high temperature response of structures and R6 procedure for defect assessment below the creep range. These novel direct methods, based upon the Linear Matching Method (LMM) framework, can be applied to the entire sequence of procedures required for high-integrity structural life assessment, and have been successfully developed and transferred by the speaker and his colleagues into the UK engineering industry including the EDF Energy and Rolls-Royce, where they are now in extensive use to improve and optimize structural life assessment procedures. In this talk, the development and application of novel direct methods for the design and life assessment of mechanical structures will be introduced for various problems encountered in current structural integrity assessment methodologies, including shakedown and limit analysis, ratchet analysis, low cycle fatigue, creep damage, creep and fatigue interaction for a wide range of key practical problems including an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) superheater header component, defective pipelines, and welded structures. Being part of R5 code, the LMMs transform current integrity assessment practice by requiring less specialized user input, reducing cost and time, and improving quality.
为了改善结构设计与寿命评估的现有方法，并推进英国在机械结构完整性评估领域的国际领先地位，尤其是在支持减排目标所需的更多高温结构应用，报告人和他的研究团队建立了一系列新颖的数值直接方法并开发了相应的用于机械结构设计与寿命评估的工程软件，进一步完善了用于高温结构安全评估的英国R5规范以及用于常温含缺陷结构完整性评估的 R6规范。基于线性匹配法（LMM）框架发展起来的这些新颖的数值直接方法，可以解决结构设计与寿命评估的一系列问题，并已成功的应用到英国工程行业，包括英国 EDF 能源公司和劳斯莱斯公司等。他们资助并使用这些数值方法，用于改善和优化现有的结构完整性评估程序。本报告详细介绍了这些用于机械结构设计和完整性评估的新型直接方法在理论上，数值方法上和软件开发上的进展，以及在解决结构完整性评估中遇到的不同问题的具体应用，包括极限与安定分析，棘轮破坏分析，交变塑性，低周疲劳分析，蠕变断裂分析，蠕变应力松弛，以及蠕变疲劳交互作用分析。通过对一系列不同结构的实际应用，包括过热器热交换器组件，带凹坑缺陷的管道，含裂纹结构和焊接结构的完整性评估等。作为 R5 最新规范的一部分，线性匹配法及其相应的软件进一步简化了用户输入要求，降低了完整性评估成本和时间，提高了结构寿命评估质量和精度，从而极大改善了结构完整性评估的现有方法。
主讲人简介：
Professor Haofeng Chen is a Reader and PhD supervisor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Strathclyde, UK, and a Chair Professor of East China University of Science and Technology. He has also been appointed or awarded as the Royal Academy of Engineering Senior Research Fellow, Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, Fellow of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Chartered Engineer. He earned two Bachelor degrees in engineering mechanics and economic management from Tsinghua University in 1994, and his MEng and PhD in solid mechanics from Tsinghua University in 1995 and 1998, respectively. He was then a research fellow in the School of Mechanical and Production Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, and subsequently a research fellow in the Department of Engineering at the University of Leicester. From 2006 to 2008, he was a chartered senior engineer at ALSTOM Power Technology Centre (Rugby, UK), working in the Mechanical Integrity Group of the Technology and Design Department. In 2008, he joined the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde as a Lecturer. In recognition of his research achievements, he was promoted to Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in 2010, and then Reader in 2015. Since joining Strathclyde University in 2008, he has established and leads the Structural Integrity and Life Assessment Research group. He has built a major and sustainable research portfolio in structural integrity engineering, particularly in the field of fracture mechanics, shakedown, ratchetting, high temperature creep and fatigue analysis. As a pioneering developer of the Linear Matching Method (LMM), which can be applied to the entire sequence of procedures required for high-integrity structural life assessment, he has successfully transferred the LMM from research into the engineering industry where it is being used to improve and optimize structural life assessment procedures. He holds up to two million pounds in research funding as the principal investigator from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, EPSRC Nuclear EngD Centre, and many industrial partners including EDF Energy, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens UK.
