Abstract [en]
The load-bearing performance of train bodies under complex service conditions requires accurate evaluation, necessitating substantial analysis of the damage and fracture behavior of thin-walled structures with heterogeneous materials under complex stress states. To address this requirement, this study focuses on MIG-welded thin-walled 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy and proposes a parameter identification method based on the bilevel parallel optimization principle. The welding regions were characterized through metallographic and microhardness tests, and specimens were designed with pre-crack tips located in various welding regions. This enabled the calibration of material parameters from the elastic to the fracture stages for each welding region. By smoothing the material properties at the boundaries of the welding regions based on surface interpolation principles, the complex fracture behaviors, such as slant fractures and V-shaped fractures, were successfully represented. The predicted load–displacement curves closely matched the experimental results, with a relative error in peak force prediction within 8%. The proposed damage characterization method effectively captures material deformation behavior and accurately predicts fracture performance, offering potential refinements to current standards for welding crack propagation tests.
