Dynamic analysis of C/C composite finger seal

A seal device as an important component of aeroengines has decisive influence on per- formance, reliability, and working life of aeroengines. With the development of aeroengines, demands on the performance characteristics of seal devices are made strictly. Finger seal as a novel kind of sealing device, recently attracts more and more attentions in academic circles and engineer- ing fields at home and abroad. Research on finger seals has been extensively developed, especially on leakage and wear performances under dynamic conditions. However, it is a pity that the work on finger seals has been limited with a single approach that is improving the performance by structural optimization; in addition, the technology of dynamic analysis on finger seals is weak. Aiming at the problems mentioned above, a distributed mass equivalent dynamic model of finger seals considering the coupling effect of overlaid laminates is established in the present paper, the dynamic perfor- mance of 2.5 dimension C/C composite finger seal is analyzed with the model, and then the effects of fiber bundle density and fiber bundle preparation direction on finger seal＇s dynamic performance are discussed, as well as compared with those of Co-based alloy finger seal. The current work is about dynamic analysis of finger seals and application of C/C composite in this paper may have much academic significance and many engineering values for improving research level of finger seal dynamics and exploring feasibility of C/C composite being used for finger seals.     

多重纳米结构轻质高强铝基复合材料的制备和组织性能

为了研究多重纳米结构对块体材料强化和变形能力的影响机制,采用粉末冶金法制备了多重纳米结构的B4C颗粒增强铝基复合材料,并对复合材料的强化和形变破坏机制进行了定量和定性的讨论。由100%球磨复合粉末制备的块体复合材料的室温压缩强度为670MPa;当加入10vol%气雾化态的Al2024粉末后,复合材料的室温压缩强度升高到1.115GPa;之后随着气雾化态Al2024粉末含量的增加,复合材料的强度逐渐下降,但是没有产生明显的塑性变形;当气雾化态Al2024粉末的含量增加到50vol%时,复合材料的压缩强度下降到580MPa,断裂前变形率达到了10%。扫描电镜(SEM)和透射电镜(TEM)的分析结果显示,亚微米级的B4C颗粒、位错以及纳米晶基体分别通过Orowan强化、位错强化和细晶强化机制对复合材料进行强化;粗晶Al2024区域与复合结构区域的比例显著影响复合材料的形变及破坏机制。     

基于径向基函数改进的Delaunay图映射动网格方法

为了提高大变形下动网格生成的效率和质量,基于径向基函数插值技术对原始Delaunay图映射动网格方法进行了改进。首先通过带多项式的径向基函数插值方法计算出背景网格远场边界点的位移;然后将背景网格位移插值到计算网格;最后利用衰减函数将计算网格远场位移衰减为零。基于矩形旋转网格变形实例比较了改进方法与原始Delaunay图映射动网格方法之间的差别,并研究了径向基基点数目和衰减函数类型对变形网格质量的影响。矩形旋转网格变形实例说明该方法能够精确恢复出Delaunay背景网格的旋转特性。NACA 0012翼型、NLR 7301两段翼和M6机翼网格变形算例进一步证明,通过添加控制点,该方法能够不重构背景网格实现大变形下高质量动网格的生成。

为扩充航空复合材料结构稳定性设计手段,基于Levy形式级数和有限差分法,提出了面内纯弯曲载荷作用下两边简支两边固支（SSCC）复合材料层合板临界屈曲载荷的数值解法。首先,应用有限差分法将挠度函数进行离散化处理;然后利用边界条件扩充方程组,最后将临界屈曲载荷的求解转化为广义特征值问题。通过数值算例分别在各向同性板和复合材料层合板上验证了本文方法,并与有限元方法（FEM）进行了比较。结果表明,本文方法具有很高的精度,为复合材料层合板的屈曲分析开辟了新的途径。     

压辊材料及形状对纤维铺放压紧效果的影响

近年来纤维铺放（AFP）技术被广泛用于大型复杂飞机复合材料构件成型。为了保证纤维铺放过程的一致性,纤维铺放压辊必须在适应芯模型面的同时具有较好的压紧力分布均匀性。鉴于此,对不同弹性模量的压辊材料进行了试验分析,薄膜压力传感器及超声显微镜测试结果表明,低弹性模量的压辊材料变形较大,较好地适应了芯模表面,压力分布相对均匀且可以减少铺层的层间孔隙数量,硅橡胶压辊比聚乙烯压辊压紧力分布均匀性提高了50%~60%,铺层孔隙率降低了92.1%。针对孔隙分布主要集中在压辊两端及压紧力在压辊两端下降幅度较大的问题,采用ANSYS Workbench对压辊端部进行斜端面优化,得到最优倾斜角度为20°;测试结果表明斜端面压辊压力分布均匀性比直断面压辊提高了42.9%,铺层孔隙率下降了51.6%。     

Determination of thermal expansion coefficients for unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites

In the present work, the coefficients of thermal expansion（CTEs） of unidirectional（UD）fiber-reinforced composites are studied. First, an attempt is made to propose a model to predict both longitudinal and transverse CTEs of UD composites by means of thermo-elastic mechanics analysis. The proposed model is supposed to be a concentric cylinder with a transversely isotropic fiber embedded in an isotropic matrix, and it is subjected to a uniform temperature change. Then a concise and explicit formula is offered for each CTE. Finally, some finite element（FE） models are created by a finite element program MSC. Patran according to different material systems and fiber volume fractions. In addition, the available experimental data and results of other analytical solutions of CTEs are presented. Comparisons are made among the results of the cylinder model,the finite element method（FEM）, experiments, and other solutions, which show that the predicted CTEs by the new model are in good agreement with the experimental data. In particular, transverse CTEs generally offer better agreements than those predicted by most of other solutions.     

高温长期时效对一种镍基单晶合金拉伸和持久性能的影响

研究了高温长期时效对一种镍基单晶合金在室温条件下瞬时拉伸强度和在950℃/240MPa条件下持久性能的影响。结果表明:1000℃短期时效100h,合金室温拉伸强度σb与屈服强度σ0.2与时效前相比没有明显变化,时效超过500h后σb和σ0.2开始显著下降,时效超过1000h后,σb和σ0.2随时效时间延长下降幅度减小;短期时效100h和500h样品在950℃/240MPa条件下的持久寿命大幅度降低,延伸率快速上升,时效时间超过1000h后,持久寿命的下降幅度减小,合金的持久寿命与延伸率均趋于稳定。长期时效后γ'相形貌改变及γ/γ'相界面高密度位错网的破坏是时效后合金室温及高温持久性能持续降低的主要原因。     

苎麻纤维增强酚醛树脂基复合材料的湿热性能研究

通过模压工艺制备了苎麻纤维织物增强酚醛树脂基复合材料层合板,研究了模压层合板在不同湿热环境下的水吸收与扩散及力学性能。研究表明:在20℃,40℃和60℃三种温度下,相对湿度的上升使层合板瞬时吸湿速率增大很明显,而在50%相对湿度下,温度对层合板的饱和吸水率的影响不大。当吸湿份数在0.5以下时,层合板在50%的相对湿度和20℃,40℃和60℃三种温度下,水扩散系数分别为2.16×10-6cm2/s,2.94×10-6cm2/s和6.61×10-6cm2/s。层合板的力学性能随吸水率的增加而下降。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察,层合板力学性能下降的主要原因是水分破坏了纤维和树脂的界面,同时进入纤维的空隙中,影响了复合材料中的应力传递,使复合材料力学性能下降。
