Abstract:
      Objective To study dynamic response and fatigue life of thin-walled conical shell structures in a thermal-acoustic complex environment. Methods The coupled finite element/boundary element (FEM/BEM) method was used to calculate the vibration stress under different thermal-acoustic loads. Based on the improved rain flow counting method, the fatigue life of the dangerous points and typical locations under different thermal-acoustic loads were estimated. Results The fundamental frequency of the thin-walled conical shell structure decreased firstly with the increase of the temperature before bending and then increased in certain temperature range after bending. The stress concentration of the thin-walled conical shell structure mainly occurred at the edge of the hole. The fundamental frequency played a dominant role in the thermal-acoustic excitation response. There were large peaks at the low-order natural frequencies and small peaks in the high-order frequency band with high modal density. Conclusion In thermal environment from 800 ℃ to 1000 ℃, the fatigue life can only be reached for a few hours, when the structures bear the strong acoustic loads. Hence, in the anti-acoustic fatigue structural design, the frequency distribution of the response spectrum should be considered, and it is important to pay more attention to design of structural hole edge.
