Fatigue Life Prediction and Improvement of Supporting Structures under Cyclic Highpressure Impact

Under cyclic ultra-high-pressure impact loads, structures often experience local fractures due to insufficient initial fatigue life (low-cycle fatigue). This article focused on a certain ultra-high-pressure support structure and established a dynamic model based on load transfer characteristics to simulate the transient stress-strain response under impact loads. On this basis, a low-cycle fatigue life evaluation method was used to predict the fatigue life of the structure about 362 times, which was significantly different from the required indicators for structural fatigue life. In response to the problem of high loadbearing capacity on the structural support surface and significant stress concentration at the root, the structural load-bearing method has been optimized. Calculation analysis showed that after optimization, the structural stress was greatly improved, the bearing capacity of the support surface was reduced by 25 %, and the fatigue life of the structure was increased from 362 times to 4208 times, an increase of about 10 times. The optimized structure has been verified through 2000 tests without any fracture, meeting the requirements for the service life of the structure.
