      Abstract:Sonic boom suppression is a key technology that must be broken through in the development of a new generation of supersonic civil aircraft. The reasonable optimization of configuration parameters can make the aircraft have good sonic boom characteristics. In order to break through the bottleneck of evolutionary algorithm in optimizing large-scale design variables, a hierarchical optimization method based on data mining is proposed, the decesion tree algorithm in data mining is used to extract the design knowledge, obtain the hierarchical information of design variables, and guide the configuration optimization of low sonic boom aircraft. For a low boom supersonic aircraft, five configuration parameters, including sweep angle, aspect ratio, taper ratio, dihedral angle and fuselage slenderness ratio, are selected as design variables, carry out numerical experiments of hierarchical optimization, and compare with the integrated optimization. Because the optimization process of evolutionary algorithm is random, 100 numerical experiments are carried out to obtain statistical results.The results shows that the hierarchical optimization can obtain the optimal solution consistent with the integrated optimization, and the convergence speed of hierarchical optimization is significantly faster than that of integrated optimization, and the performance of different optimization processes is more robust.

      2023, 14(2):44-54. DOI: 10.16615/j.cnki.1674-8190.2023.02.05

      Abstract (446) HTML (433) PDF 5.09 M (728) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to avoid the problem that the support points selected by the traditional single absolute error criterion are not interpolated accurately when the heat flux is small when the radial basis function is used for hypersonic heat flux interpolation. In this paper, a radial basis function interpolation procedure with double error criterion is proposed. In this process, the absolute error criterion is used to select a certain number of support points, and then the relative error criterion is used to select another part of points. The numerical experiments show that the double error criterion can ensure the interpolation accuracy at both large and small heat flux and can avoid the problem of negative heat flux which is easy to appear in the interpolation results caused by the traditional single absolute error criterion.

      Abstract (610) HTML (185) PDF 1.68 M (629) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Tire stiffness is one of the important parameters of tire dynamics model. The influence of tire stiffness on the shimmy of large civil aircraft nose landing gear can provide reference for the anti-shimmy design of large civil aircraft nose landing gear from the perspective of tire design. The nonlinear mathematical model of the front landing gear shimmy was established, and the shimmy region diagram of different tire torsional stiffness and tire side bending stiffness was calculated by using Matlab/Matcont software. The influence law of tire torsional stiffness and tire side bending stiffness on the shimmy of the front landing gear was studied, and the sensitivity of the two on the shimmy of the front landing gear was compared. The results show that the sensitivity of tire torsional stiffness to the impact of nose landing gear shimmy is greater than that of tire lateral bending stiffness. When the positive torque coefficient decreases by 1%, the maximum critical damping of torsional shimmy decreases by 0.88%, and the minimum critical damping of lateral shimmy increases by 33.87%. Reducing the torsional stiffness of tire and increasing the lateral stiffness of tire are beneficial to restrain the yaw of large civil aircraft nose landing gear.

      Abstract:Temperature is one of the important characteristic parameters of civil aircraft hydraulic system performance. To effectively realize the temperature monitoring of hydraulic system, the method of Kriging model based on atomic search (ASOKM) is proposed based on Kriging model and atomic search algorithm (ASO). Firstly, the temperature fault causes of hydraulic system are analyzed, and fault logic diagram is established to clarify the characteristic parameters affecting the hydraulic system temperature. Then, combined with the quick access recorder (QAR) data, the modeling principle of ASOKM method is discussed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed ASOKM method is verified by the temperature monitoring analysis of domestic civil aircraft hydraulic systems. The results show that the training and monitoring average absolute errors of the ASOKM method are lower than the response surface method (RSM), Kriging, and back-propagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN) models, and have higher accuracy, efficiency, and robustness. The proposed ASOKM method can provide a reference for reliability analysis, fault diagnosis, and predictive maintenance of the hydraulic system.

      Abstract:During the forming of aramid paper honeycomb sandwich component of aircraft composites in the autoclave, the adhesive layer between honeycomb cells will crack or even be damaged, which will affect the mechanical properties of the parts. The tensile properties, compressive properties, shear properties and thermal properties of aramid paper honeycomb core were obtained by testing. Meanwhile, numerical simulation of thermo-mechanical sequential coupling of the whole honeycomb sandwich component and mechanical simulation of the local core area were carried out by combining the finite element analysis method and the inversion method. The results show that the thermal stress during the forming process will not cause the adhesive layer between honeycomb cells to crack; The difference of pressure difference between honeycomb cells required for adhesive layer’s slight destruction and complete destruction is positively related to the initial normal fracture stress of adhesive layer; When the number of loaded honeycomb cells is less than 20, the pressure difference required for the adhesive layer’s slightly destruction is independent of the number of honeycomb cells, but the pressure difference required for the the adhesive layer’s complete destruction decreases with the increase of the number of loaded cells.
