Mass and performance optimization of an airplane wing leading edge structure against bird strike using Taguchi-based grey relational analysis

Collisions between birds and aircraft are one of the most dangerous threats to flight safety. In this study, smoothed particles hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used for simulating the bird strike to an airplane wing leading edge structure. In order to verify the model, first, experiment of bird strike to a flat aluminum plate is simulated, and then bird impact on an airplane wing lead-ing edge structure is investigated. After that, considering dimensions of wing internal structural components like ribs, skin and spar as design variables, we try to minimize structural mass and wing skin deformation simultaneously. To do this, bird strike simulations to 18 different wing structures are made based on Taguchi’s L18 factorial design of experiment. Then grey relational analysis is used to minimize structural mass and wing skin deformation due to the bird strike. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is also applied and it is concluded that the most significant parameter for the performance of wing structure against impact is the skin thickness. Finally, a validation simu-lation is conducted under the optimal condition to show the improvement of performance of the wing structure.

指形罩结构位于吊挂前缘,作为动力装置整流罩体的一部分,为吊挂及发动机提供气动外形,并为燃油、液压、电气、环控等系统管路提供保护和通路。指形罩的位置及功能决定了其结构必须满足鸟撞要求,承受鸟体撞击后不能影响飞机安全。通常采用鸟撞试验对指形罩结构抗鸟撞性能进行适航验证。为了降低适航验证周期和成本,一般通过鸟撞分析来降低取证试验的撞击点数量。介绍了一种吊挂指形罩鸟撞分析过程和方法,并对分析方法进行了工程试验验证,得到一种可靠的指形罩鸟撞分析方法,为类似的飞机整流结构的鸟撞分析提供了参考。     

Numerical simulation of a UAV impacting engine fan blades

A 3D digital model of a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is obtained by using the method of scanning reverse modeling and joint mapping. A numerical simulation of a small UAV strikes on rotary engine blades, presented in this paper, was performed with a Transient Nonlinear Finite Element code PAM-CRASH software. A test of motor strike on plate was developed and the dynamic response of the plate were obtained to validate the numerical simulation method of a UAV strike on blades. Based on this, dynamic damage response caused by UAV on the engine blades were studied. It is indicated that the impact process between the UAV and a single blade can be divided into two typical stages: cutting and impact. Cutting mainly leads to the failure of the leading edge material, and impact mainly leads to the plastic deformation of the blade. At the same time, it is compared with the damage impacted by bird with the same mass. For the same mass of bird and UAV, the damage caused by UAV striking fan blade is more serious, and 1.345 kg UAV striking fan blade of typical civil aviation engine is enough to cause damage to flight safety.

根据航空发动机结构特征和鸟撞后的风扇叶片损伤特征,提出风扇第一级转子叶片是发动机抗鸟撞关键零件,叶片前缘为抗鸟撞设计关键部位。建立一种风扇叶片鸟撞理论分析方法,研究撞击工况、结构参数与鸟撞过程、损伤模式、损伤程度的关系,提出前缘角度是抗鸟撞能力关键结构参数。当撞击工况确定后,前缘角度决定了撞击形式和叶片损伤模式,影响损伤程度。采用显示动力学仿真分析方法,设计了一种带前缘特征的模型,对前缘角度的影响规律进行了验证,并开展了实际风扇叶片改进设计,改进后的叶片被鸟撞击后变形减小最少33%,抗鸟撞击能力明显提升。     

多欧拉域耦合法在平尾鸟撞中的应用

鸟撞是威胁航空安全的重要因素之一。目前的研究多是对单一试件或结构的一次性鸟撞，而对鸟体穿透撞击部位后，对其他结构造成二次冲击的研究较少。为了研究这种问题，基于流固耦合算法，建立了多欧拉域耦合的某直升机平尾全尺寸模型。在考虑空气影响的前提下，详细分析了鸟撞平尾过程、前缘和前梁的损伤形式、平尾的位移响应、鸟撞载荷规律以及冲击载荷对平尾根部结构的影响，并与试验结果进行了对比。研究表明：鸟体在穿透前缘时未发生解体，其对前梁的二次冲击载荷同样很高，平尾结构设计需要考虑鸟撞是否会造成平尾根部断裂，鸟撞载荷具有阶跃函数的特点；结构响应时间对比冲击载荷有明显的滞后效应。

涡襟翼振动对三角翼涡的影响

 <正> 1.引言 许多实验表明,用主动干扰的方式是控制分离的一个有效方法,而且可以把分离区从一死水区(或紊乱的区域)变成一个有序流动区域。二维流动实验还表明非定常机动可以较大地改变流动结构。三维流态显示表明强迫振动对集中涡的形成过程等有显著影响,并影响涡和物面之间的距离。目前对三维非定常流动特性,以及非定常干扰对机翼绕流中涡破裂等的作用尚未充分了解。 影响集中涡破裂的关键因素是沿涡轴方向的压力梯度。涡环量对破裂的影响是双向的,涡强过大易使涡破裂;涡强过小时涡结构松散,也易于破裂,甚至迅速耗散掉。从二维结果看,非定常强迫扰动可使涡的结构更紧凑、清晰,而且扰动可以改

Numerical simulation of a rotary engine primary compressor impacted by bird

In order to examine the process of a rotary engine primary compressor impacted by bird, a finite element model of a bird impacted on plate is developed with the explicit code PAM-CRASH. The smooth particles hydrodynamic (SPH) method is used to simulate the bird because of the SPH method showing no signs of instability and correctly modeling the breaking-up of the bird into particles. Good agreement between the simulation results and experimental results indicates that the numerical method of bird strike used in the present paper is reasonable. Then a rotary engine primary compressor impacted by three different configurations bird named straight-ended cylinder bird, quadrangular bird, hemispherical-ended bird are investigated using the numerical simulation method. It is found that the whole process of bird strike sustained about 3.5 ms and the bird is slashed by blade during the strike. The geometry configuration of bird affected the displacement and von Mises stress of some blades severely, just because the breaking bird’s mass is affected by the bird’s configuration. In the event of bird striking on the site of"up"some blades may develop plastic deformation and it is very adverse for the safety work of the engine.     

横流不稳定性转捩预测模型

由于Langtry和Menter提出的γ-Re_θt边界层转捩模型只能预测流向的边界层转捩现象,因此继续改进该转捩模型使其具有横流不稳定性转捩的预测能力显得非常必要。通过对经典Falkner-Skan-Cooke (FSC)三维边界层相似解的理论分析和数值求解,结合Thwaites压力梯度因子与当地后掠角构建的函数关系来求解复杂构型的当地Hartree压力梯度因子β_H以及形状因子H₁₂,采用由试验数据标定的C1准则关系式获得横流转捩位移厚度雷诺数,从而建立能够对复杂构型进行横流不稳定性转捩预测的转捩判据。应用所建模型对30°前缘后掠角的ONERA-M6机翼和变前缘后掠角的DLR-F5机翼以及标准6:1椭球标模进行了横流不稳定转捩数值模拟,计算结果显示转捩位置均与试验数据吻合较好,证明了该模型的合理性和实用性。     

Topology optimization of compliant adaptive wing leading edge with composite materials

An approach for designing the compliant adaptive wing leading edge with composite material is proposed based on the topology optimization. Firstly, an equivalent constitutive relationship of laminated glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite plates has been built based on the symmetric laminated plate theory. Then, an optimization objective function of compliant adaptive wing leading edge was used to minimize the least square error（LSE） between deformed curve and desired aerodynamics shape. After that, the topology structures of wing leading edge of different glass fiber ply-orientations were obtained by using the solid isotropic material with penalization（SIMP） model and sensitivity filtering technique. The desired aerodynamics shape of compliant adaptive wing leading edge was obtained based on the proposed approach. The topology structures of wing leading edge depend on the glass fiber ply-orientation. Finally, the corresponding morphing experiment of compliant wing leading edge with composite materials was implemented, which verified the morphing capability of topology structure and illustrated the feasibility for designing compliant wing leading edge. The present paper lays the basis of ply-orientation optimization for compliant adaptive wing leading edge in unmanned aerial vehicle（UAV） field.
