      Abstract (663) HTML (0) PDF 2.56 M (801) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:This paper uses longitudinal-lateral-torsional integrated beam model and coupled mass method to simulate load-bearing structure of rocket and liquid propellant, and also uses RBE2 element to simulate the joints between the core and the booster of launch vehicle. Different payload’s base frequency can be obtained by modifying the finite element model of payload. The author chooses four typical second states in the process of flying, and obtains the first ten natural frequency of the rocket in three different payload’s base frequency. Analysis shows that the integrated beam model is very simple and practical in analyzing the dynamic characteristics of rocket, and the results can meet the requirements. The model can be used for modal analysis at the early stage of design. At the same time, the effects of payload’s base frequency reduction on dynamic characteristics of rocket can be obtained by analyzing the natural frequency data. These conclusions can provide some basis to the designer of satellite.

    • Numerical study of clearance effects of a high-turning tandem cascade

      2013, 4(4):443-449.

      Abstract (813) HTML (0) PDF 6.96 M (705) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to capture the rear stages’ clearance effects of high pressure compressor with tandem stator, a redesign of a high-turning tandem cascade was studied in the manner of linear cascade with different clearance sizes. The cascade performances, tip loading and the development trajectory of leakage vortex were compared with collateral inlet boundary layer and skewed inlet boundary layer. The results show that the tip region blockage is burdened and total pressure loss is sharpened with the clearance increasing. With the skewed inlet boundary layer, the pressure loss is decreased to some extent, and with small clearance the blockage of low span is relieved dramatically. Two leakage vortexes are captured near the tip region with 2% span clearance, and the front blade’s leakage vortex will vanish in the passage. The effect of skewed inlet boundary layer prolongs the trajectory of front blade leakage vortex. With the clearance increasing, the roll-up point moves downstream.

      Abstract (127) HTML (0) PDF 2.98 M (305) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The relations of the cascade aerodynamic state and the openings of the valves in short duration wind tunnel are studied, and the method to control the stabilization of the experiment state is discussed in detail. Using the calculated valves’ openings according to the valves’ discharge characteristic data, the required state can be reached with 1-2 debugging states. By combining the pressure regulating valve’s discharge characteristic data with the traditional PID, an effective method maintaining the cascade aerodynamic state during the experiment is given, which can automatically compute the control parameters and precisely control the cascade aerodynamic state. With the new method, small calculation time is needed, and stable pressure state can be achieved rapidly and monotonously. The method can be used for reference by other short duration wind tunnel.

      Abstract:[Abstrac] In order to obtain the aerodynamic characteristic of the stratospheric airship for large attack angle , Aerodynamic numerical simulation Analysis with condition of large attack angle of a stratospheric airship is accomplished in this paper based on N-S equations andκ-ωsst model. It has been found that there are big differences between the stratospheric airship and aircraft on large attack-angle stall characteristic and torque characteristic. The stall angle of the airship is higher (around 45°)and torque character presents entirely different trends before stall. It indicates that the airship is instability within small angle range, but stability when the angle increases to some extentand will keep the state until stall. The study result has some important reference value to large attack angle controllability and stability design as well as flight control design of stratospheric airship.

      Abstract:Bird strikes cause hundred million dollars in damage to civilian and military aviation each year. In order to reduce the cost of validation tests and improve the efficiency of aircraft design, CAE technique is introduced to perform bird-strike analysis. A reliable FEM model is built up to simulate the bird-strike process on vertical tail LE structure of a certain type of aircraft in HyperMesh environment. SPH algorithm is employed since it is more efficient tracking of material deformations and history dependent behavior than Euler bird model. And a beam type spring element with failure model material is employed to simulate the riveted joints. The numerical result based on finite element coupling and SPH algorithm using LS-DYNA software indicates that the structure meets the requirement of the civil aviation regulation and that the method and the calculation model are reliable.

    • Evaluation of characteristic life’s estimation methods for small sample fatigue test data

      2013, 4(4):515-521.

      Abstract (794) HTML (0) PDF 2.97 M (501) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The number of fatigue test data is generally small, thus under the assumption of weibull distribution, the statistical confidence of characteristic life should be taken into consideration. In this paper, probability estimation methods of characteristic life are summarized, such as Bayesian method and Bootstrap method of virtually expanded sample. Then seven groups of fatigue test data for straight lugs are applied for comparison of these methods. Because EDF fitting methods can’t offer substantial guidance to the rationality of characteristic life’s estimations, a new method is proposed that all the test data should fall into (1- a) percentile interval of the life distribution. Through comparison and analysis, it can be concluded that estimations by Bayesian method are smaller than that of Bootstrap method, and the proposed judgment method is effective.
