[0043] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for determining landing collision stiffness, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art of relying on the experience of technicians to determine the collision stiffness in the early stages of design, resulting in low accuracy of the landing load of reusable rockets in the early stages of design.

[0044] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0045] A method for determining landing collision stiffness is disclosed for designing a reusable rocket. The method comprises: constructing a landing model based on design parameters of the reusable rocket; constructing a ground model based on preset parameters of a target recovery site for the reusable rocket; simulating the landing impact of the reusable rocket using the landing model and the ground model to obtain deformation parameters of the target model during the simulated landing impact, wherein the target model includes the landing model and the ground model; and determining the target collision stiffness of the reusable rocket based on the deformation parameters.

[0046] This embodiment constructs a landing model based on the design parameters of the reusable rocket, and constructs a ground model based on the preset parameters of the target recovery site. Then, through the landing model and the ground model, the landing impact of the reusable rocket is simulated, and the deformation parameters of the landing model and the ground model during the target process can be obtained. Based on the deformation parameters, the target collision stiffness of the reusable rocket is determined, and the landing load can be calculated in the early design stage of the reusable rocket to provide clear input for the reusable rocket and improve the accuracy of the landing load of the reusable rocket in the early design stage.

[0047] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] First, the term "and / or" as used herein simply describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A alone, A and B together, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0049] In the early stages of reusable rocket design, before relevant testing is conducted, the landing loads are typically calculated using multibody dynamics models. The impact stiffness between the rocket and the ground directly determines the landing load, which is related to the landing mechanism and the physical properties of the ground. Related technologies rely primarily on the experience of technicians to determine this initial design impact stiffness, resulting in low accuracy in reusable rocket landing loads during this initial design phase.

[0050] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment provides Figure 1 A method for determining landing impact stiffness is shown for designing a reusable rocket, and the method includes:

[0051] Step S11: construct a landing model according to the design parameters of the reusable rocket.

[0052] Specifically, a landing model is constructed based on the design parameters of the landing touchdown component of the reusable rocket, wherein the design parameters include the outer dimensions of the landing touchdown component.

[0053] More specifically, a landing model is constructed based on the design parameters and first physical parameters of the reusable rocket. The first physical parameters include a first elastic modulus and a first Poisson's ratio. An initial model can be constructed based on the design parameters of the reusable rocket, and then the first physical parameters are input into the initial model to obtain the landing model. Among them, the elastic modulus refers to the stress under a uniaxial stress state divided by the strain in that direction. The Poisson's ratio refers to the ratio of the absolute value of the lateral normal strain to the axial normal strain when the material is subjected to uniaxial tension or compression. The Poisson's ratio is also called the lateral deformation coefficient. It is an elastic constant that reflects the lateral deformation of the material.

[0054] For example, the landing contact member may be a square foot pad with an elastic modulus of E = 2.01 × 10 11 Pa, Poisson's ratio is σ = 0.3.

[0055] Step S12: constructing a ground model according to preset parameters of the target recovery site for the reusable rocket.

[0056] Specifically, a ground model is constructed according to preset parameters and second physical property parameters of the target recovery site, where the second physical property parameters include a second elastic modulus and a second Poisson's ratio.

[0057] For example, the target recovery site can be based on the design of the reusable rocket recovery site. When the target recovery site cannot be determined, the concrete floor can be used as the target recovery site. The concrete floor has a large ground stiffness and can cover most different ground materials. The elastic modulus of the concrete floor can be E = 3.08 × 10 10 Pa, Poisson's ratio is σ = 0.2.

[0058] After constructing the landing and ground models, the target mesh can be used to perform finite element meshing on them. The same meshing method must be used for both models to facilitate force and deformation analysis.

[0059] For example, if the landing contact component is a steel foot pad with dimensions of 0.26m in length, 0.2m in width, and 0.02m in thickness, the corresponding finite element models of the landing model and the ground model are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the top portion is the footpad model, and the remaining portion is the ground model. Considering the square shape of the footpad, the finite element meshes for the footpad model and the ground model can be hexahedral to better simulate the deformation of the footpad and ground.

[0060] Step S13: Simulate the landing impact of the reusable rocket using the landing model and the ground model to obtain deformation parameters of the target model during the simulated landing impact process, where the target model includes the landing model and the ground model.

[0061] Specifically, target loads are applied to the landing model and displacement constraints are applied to the ground model to simulate the landing impact of a reusable rocket.

[0062] The target load primarily refers to the unit load, or force per unit area of the landing model. When the ground model collides with the landing model, some areas of the ground model will deform, while others will not. The boundary between the deformed and non-deformed areas can be considered to have zero displacement. Displacement constraints limit the deformation (or displacement) of the ground model.

[0063] For example, a unit load of 1 N (unit: Newton) is applied to the upper end surface of the landing model (i.e. Figure 2 The top of the model corresponds to the landing model), while the displacement constraint is applied to the bottom of the ground model (i.e. Figure 2 The bottom end of the figure is used to constrain the six degrees of freedom of the landing model and the ground model, and to simulate the deformation process of the landing touchdown components and the ground under unit load and displacement constraints.

[0064] During the simulation of the reusable rocket landing impact using the landing model and the ground model, both the landing model and the ground model will deform. Statics methods can be used to determine the deformation of the landing model and the ground model under unit load. The sum of the deformations of the landing model and the ground model is then used as the deformation parameter in step S13 of this embodiment.

[0065] Step S14: determining the target collision stiffness of the reusable rocket based on the deformation parameters.

[0066] Specifically, in the process of simulating the landing impact of a reusable rocket using the landing model and the ground model, the following can be obtained: Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the deformation of the finite element model under unit load is shown, and the maximum deformation parameters of the landing model and the ground model during the target process (the sum of the maximum deformation of the landing model and the maximum deformation of the ground model) can be obtained. Figure 3 The maximum deformation shown in the figure is 9.32×10 -11 m. According to the maximum deformation parameter, the target collision stiffness is determined, which can be seen in formula (1).

[0067]

[0068] Where, K: landing impact stiffness; l max : Maximum deformation parameter. According to the above formula, it can be calculated that under the current foot pad and concrete material, the landing collision stiffness is 1.07×10 10 N / m.

[0069] In summary, this embodiment constructs a landing model based on the design parameters of the reusable rocket, and constructs a ground model based on the preset parameters of the target recovery site. Then, through the landing model and the ground model, the landing impact of the reusable rocket is simulated, and the deformation parameters of the landing model and the ground model during the target process can be obtained. Based on the deformation parameters, the target collision stiffness of the reusable rocket is determined, and the landing load can be calculated in the early design stage of the reusable rocket.

[0070] In engineering, especially in the early stages of design when there are no tests or empirical data, the calculation model for reusable rocket landing loads can be described by a simple spring-proton model, where collision stiffness and collision damping represent the magnitude of the restoring force and damping force, respectively, and thus the load. Collision damping is generally much smaller than collision stiffness, meaning that the damping force accounts for a relatively small proportion of the landing load. Therefore, the landing load is primarily determined by the restoring force, which is the product of collision stiffness and deformation.

[0071] The above method provides clear input for the calculation of reusable rocket landing payload. The payload calculation is relatively conservative, which improves the accuracy of the reusable rocket landing payload in the early stage of design and reduces the risk of repeated design.
