Study the influence of anchoring parameters on asteroid drilling anchoring with discrete element simulation

Asteroid exploration has become a research hotspot, and anchoring probes to asteroids is essential for in situ scientific detections. The influence of ultrasonic drilling force-closure anchoring parameters on the anchoring performance and its influence mechanism are studied based on discrete element simulation. An anchoring simulation model is established after calibrating virtual asteroid soil, and its validity is verified by anchoring experiments. Discrete element simulations are performed to study the effect of cross-sectional shape and longitudinal cross-sectional shape of anchoring rods on anchoring force. The internal influence mechanism of anchor configurations on the anchoring force is analyzed by extracting the number of stressed particles in the simulation area. The anchoring force has a positive correlation with the cross-sectional area. The rotation of non-circular anchors causes fluctuations in the anchoring force. The effect of the anchored material strength on the anchoring force is studied with the calibrated virtual asteroid soil. The relationship between anchoring force and anchoring parameters is studied, and the optimal anchoring angle is 54° for anchored material strength of 100 kPa. Finally, the variation of the anchoring force with the direction of external force is studied. This work can guide the anchor configuration design and the anchoring condition parameter optimization.     

一种基于归一化参数的蠕变模型

针对传统蠕变模型(如Norton律)不能模拟蠕变第3阶段的不足,提出了一种基于归一化参数的蠕变模型,该模型以归一化时间为变量,以归一化应力和归一化温度为参数,可完整描述蠕变曲线的所有3个阶段.在该模型的基础上提出了能更好地描述蠕变曲线第1阶段的改进形式.利用所发展的模型对直接时效GH4169G材料的蠕变试验曲线3个阶段进行了较好地模拟,验证了该模型的描述蠕变变形的能力；同时确立了所发展模型中各参数与归一化温度和归一化应力之间的函数关系,取得了较好的效果；并且能与有限元软件结合,表明所发展的模型可应用于实际结构的蠕变分析.
