Abstract

The device developed for material fatigue assessment is the core to help the development of related equipment fields such as aerospace, nuclear energy systems, and low-temperature storage and transportation. However, when the device encounters extreme temperature range (-100 °C to + 600 °C) and medium and high load amplitude (≥ 0.5 times the yield strength) at the same time, such devices often appear abnormal vibration and sound beyond the ISO 10816-3 standard, which greatly affects the measurement accuracy and shortens the service life. This paper systematically sorts out the common characteristics of the source of vibration generation in such work scenarios, digs into the underlying basic physical laws, evaluates the latest achievements of multi-physical field coupling simulation, and sorts out the current noise reduction methods. Based on the research of SCI / EI related literature content and ASTM / ISO related specifications in the past five years, it is concluded that the resonance frequency shift caused by ambient temperature fluctuation and the wide range frequency stimulation during high temperature operation are the main triggers of such problems. Noise reduction technology is gradually shifting from the traditional isolation method to the intelligent system that anchors the root cause of the problem. This study proposes three noise reduction implementation schemes that adapt to the standardized test framework, and also clarifies the core limitations of the current numerical simulation methods in thermal effects, force-frequency correlation coupling, and time-space field coordination. It is necessary to integrate multiple control strategies to improve. The goal of this paper is to establish a relevant theoretical framework for the design, production, capacity optimization and practical engineering use of devices that perform fatigue problem detection in complex working environments, and give practical guidance.
