Structural optimization of elliptical-tip star propellant grain using sub-problem approximation

A method is presented here for structural optimization of elliptical-tip star grain.The grain structural integrity was improved by minimizing the most critical area of inner bore hoop strain during cool down.Optimization was done by sub-problem approximation method in conjunction with finite element analysis.Both radii of the ellipse were varied during optimization to find the optimal ellipse.The optimization resulted in grain geometry having minimum level of Inner bore hoop strain without violating the preset limits of burning perimeter.The von mises strain at grain inner bore was also reduced in resultant grain.      

Particle size effect on ammonium perchlorate decomposition kinetics

The decomposition kinetic parameters of ammonium perchlorate (AP) having different grain size (10-390μm) were investigated through simultaneous DSC/TGA (differential scanning calorimetry/thermal gravimetric analysis) analyzer in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere under heating rate of 40K/min.The kinetic parameters such as activation energy and pre-exponential factor were determined by the modified isoconversional method.The Brurzauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)-method was applied to measure AP specific surface areas.The results show that the higher the AP particle size the lower the determined kinetic parameters and are matched with some important literatures.

Nb-40Ti-15Al合金中硼的微合金化细晶作用

利用金相显微镜(OM)、X衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱(EDS)等测试设备分析了微量硼元素对Nb-40Ti-15Al合金的晶粒细化作用以及硼在晶粒内和晶界的分布情况。结果表明,当合金中硼含量高于0.5%(质量分数)时,晶粒细化开始变得显著,预期对合金的低温脆性有一定程度的改善效果。背散射电子像(BSE)显示硼元素大量富集在晶界上,从而得出硼的细晶作用主要缘于其在合金的B2/β相基体中固溶度甚小,从而导致凝固前沿成分过冷。

利用辉光离子渗的方法,在TC4钛合金表面沉积Mo耐磨涂层。利用XRD、SEM、EDS、显微硬度仪和摩擦磨损试验机研究了沉积温度(850℃,950℃和1050℃)对Mo涂层的组织结构、耐磨性能及磨损机制的影响。结果表明:涂层由Mo外层和互扩散区组成,互扩散区主要为Mo-Ti固溶体相;随着沉积温度的升高,Mo涂层的生长速率增加,但平均晶粒尺寸增大,因而硬度、耐磨性能降低;纯滑动干摩擦载荷为98N时,950℃/5h沉积所形成Mo涂层的磨损速率约为TC4钛合金的1/45。

复杂装药固体火箭发动机工作过程中阻尼特性分析

为了获得复杂装药发动机工作过程中阻尼特性的变化规律,首先利用有限元分析方法对不同工作时刻时的燃烧室声腔结构进行了数值仿真计算,得到复杂装药发动机工作过程中的声模态及其变化规律;基于此,计算并分析了复杂装药发动机装药燃烧过程中常见阻尼因素的变化规律,结果表明,喷管阻尼系数与壁面阻尼系数占总阻尼系数百分比逐渐减小,相反微粒阻尼系数占总阻尼系数的百分比逐渐增大,在发动机工作后期,发动机阻尼系数最小,从而导致发动机后期的工作稳定性较差,小扰动易被扩大为大扰动; 在发动机的所有阻尼中,喷管阻尼在发动机工作初期起主导作用,而微粒阻尼在工作后期起主导作用。

针对现有基于序贯验后加权检验的测试性验证方案对测试性设计指标之间的模糊参数空间考虑不足,以及未能充分运用测试性多源先验信息的问题,提出一种优化序贯验后加权检验和D-S证据理论相结合的测试性验证方案。首先,考虑测试性设计指标之间的模糊参数空间,构建三参数空间复杂假设,并基于Bayes理论研究序贯决策规则,同时确定决策因子以及决策阈值;其次,以测试性指标构成的参数空间为辨识框架,分别构造基于专家信息以及测试性试验数据等先验信息的基本信任分配函数,建立融合多源先验信息的优化序贯验证方案;最后,结合实例进行研究,并与经典验证方案、传统Bayes验证方案、序贯概率比检验方案以及序贯验后加权检验方案进行了对比分析。结果表明,该方案由于考虑了模糊参数空间以及充分融合了多源先验信息,有效解决了模糊参数空间的处理问题,同时所确定的平均故障样本量在决策支持的参数空间均优于其他方法。     

A Lamb wave quantification model for inclined cracks with experimental validation

This paper investigates the influence of crack orientation on damage quantification using Lamb wave in plate structures. Finite element simulation is performed to acquire Lamb wave signal responses for different configurations of crack orientations and crack lengths. Two Lamb wave features, namely the normalized amplitude and the phase change, are used as damage sensitive features to develop a crack size quantification model. A hypothesis based on the geometrical influence on signal features is proposed, and the crack size quantification model incorporating the orientation angle is established using the hypothesis. An index of Probability of Reliable Quantification (PRQ) is proposed to evaluate the performance of the model. The index can be used to determine the sizing risk in terms of probabilities. A realistic aluminum plate is used to obtain the experimental data using piezoelectric (PZT) wafer-type sensors around a center through crack. The experimental data are used to validate the overall method. Results indicate that the proposed model can yield reliable results for size quantification of inclined cracks.
