Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of launch vehicle technology, and in particular relates to a method for designing longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for launch vehicle instruments and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The longitudinal sinusoidal vibration environment experienced by individual components on a launch vehicle during the launch phase mainly involves thrust changes and stage separation during engine ignition and shutdown, which excite transient low-frequency vibration responses in the rocket structure and onboard instruments. Damage or failure of these individual components is closely related to the low-frequency sinusoidal vibration environment they endure. The accuracy of test conditions directly affects the product design level and the effectiveness of ground tests, thus influencing the quality of individual components. This is one of the key factors determining the success or failure of rocket flight.

[0003] Current methods for designing sinusoidal vibration test conditions primarily rely on measured environmental data. With a large amount of available measured environmental data, statistical methods are used to analyze this data and apply appropriate envelopes to formulate corresponding test conditions. However, a large amount of measured environmental data can only be obtained after the rocket has been manufactured and undergone multiple flight tests. Test conditions, on the other hand, are always required before rocket design to verify the environmental adaptability of individual components. Therefore, to meet the needs of new rocket design, test conditions must be completed under conditions lacking measured environmental data for the new rocket; the required environment can only be determined through simulation. Finite element analysis is commonly used for simulation, but the analysis model needs thorough verification to ensure the validity of the calculations. Furthermore, simulation simulation requires significant time and effort, causing considerable inconvenience for the rapid demonstration of new rocket designs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for designing longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for launch vehicle instruments and equipment. This method can quickly provide longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for individual equipment on each section of the launch vehicle in the early stages of launch vehicle demonstration and design, so as to facilitate the selection of individual equipment and the design of the scheme.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention discloses a method for designing longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for launch vehicle instruments and equipment, comprising:

[0006] Step 1: Obtain the time-domain vibration response curves of the engine's normal mounting base or the docking point between the engine frame and the compartment during ground testing.

[0007] Step 2: Preprocess the vibration response time-domain curve obtained in Step 1 to obtain the equivalent sinusoidal data of the impact response spectrum;

[0008] Step 3: Envelope the equivalent sinusoidal data of the impact response spectrum obtained in Step 2, and determine the envelope result as the acceptance level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test level for instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle.

[0009] Step 4: Based on the longitudinal transmission characteristics, and using the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle determined in Step 3, combined with the attenuation coefficient of the longitudinal transmission characteristics, obtain the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle.

[0018] In the above-mentioned design method for longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions of launch vehicle instruments and equipment, the scanning rate of the evaluation stage longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test is 2 oct / min.

[0019] In the above-mentioned design method for longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions of launch vehicle instruments and equipment, the longitudinal transmission characteristic attenuation coefficient includes: the attenuation coefficient λ1 from the first stage inter-stage section to the launch vehicle tail section, the attenuation coefficient λ2 from the first and second stage inter-stage section to the first stage inter-stage section, the attenuation coefficient λ3 from the second stage inter-stage section to the first and second stage inter-stage section, and the attenuation coefficient λ4 from the instrument compartment section to the second stage inter-stage section.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Environmental prediction is a gradual approximation process. During the design phase, it relies on measured data and statistical patterns from past successful models, combined with the specific conditions of the new rocket, to conduct preliminary and rapid environmental design. The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for designing longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for launch vehicle instruments and equipment. According to this method, longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for individual equipment in each section of the rocket can be quickly formulated.

[0031] like Figure 1 In this embodiment, the method for designing longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for the launch vehicle instruments and equipment includes:

[0032] Step 1: Obtain the time-domain vibration response curves of the engine's normal mounting base or the docking point between the engine frame and the compartment during ground testing.

[0033] In this embodiment, during engine ground testing, vibration sensors can be placed at locations such as the engine's horizontal strut mount or the junction between the engine frame and the engine compartment. A sampling rate higher than 5120Hz is required to obtain the vibration response time-domain curves at the corresponding locations. The vibration response time-domain curve at the engine's horizontal strut mount during ground testing is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0034] Step 2: Preprocess the vibration response time-domain curve obtained in Step 1 to obtain the equivalent sinusoidal data of the impact response spectrum.

[0035] In this embodiment, the preprocessing process is as follows:

[0036] 21) Extract the time-domain data of the vibration response time-domain curve obtained in step 1 for the start-up and shutdown periods and perform f Hz bandpass filtering.

[0037] For example, it can be intercepted Figure 1 The vibration response time-domain curve shown contains a segment of time-domain data exhibiting clear start-up characteristics (0–3s), representing the start-up period. This 0–3s segment of time-domain data is then subjected to an fHz bandpass filter. Figure 2 The vibration response time-domain curve shown contains a segment of time-domain data exhibiting clear shutdown characteristics (time-domain data from 199 to 202 seconds), representing the shutdown period. This segment of time-domain data from 199 to 202 seconds was subjected to an fHz bandpass filter. The value of f ranges from 2 to 100.

[0038] 22) Perform impulse response spectrum calculation and equivalent sine processing on the bandpass filtered data to obtain the equivalent sine data of the impulse response spectrum during the start-up and shutdown periods.

[0039] When calculating the impulse response spectrum, the improved digital filtering method in Appendix K of "GJB 2238A-2004 Telemetry Data Processing" can be used. The equivalent sine processing involves dividing the calculated impulse response spectrum by a constant Q at each frequency point, resulting in equivalent sine data for the impulse response spectrum, as shown below. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown. Where Q = 10.

[0040] Step 3: Envelope the equivalent sinusoidal data of the impact response spectrum obtained in Step 2, and determine the envelope result as the acceptance level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test level for instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle.

[0041] In this embodiment, the equivalent sinusoidal data of the impact response spectrum during the startup and shutdown periods are enveloped, and considering a certain engineering margin, the resulting envelope is determined as the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude for instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle. Figure 5 As shown. Among them, the scanning rate of the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test is 4 oct / min.

[0042] Preferably, the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle are shown in Table 1 below:

[0043]

[0044] Table 1. Acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for instruments and equipment on the tail section.

[0045] Step 4: Based on the longitudinal transmission characteristics, and using the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle determined in Step 3, combined with the attenuation coefficient of the longitudinal transmission characteristics, obtain the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle.

[0046] In this embodiment, the longitudinal transfer characteristic attenuation coefficient includes: the attenuation coefficient λ1 from the first stage inter-stage section to the tail section of the launch vehicle, the attenuation coefficient λ2 from the first and second stage inter-stage section to the first stage inter-stage section, the attenuation coefficient λ3 from the second stage inter-stage section to the first and second stage inter-stage section, and the attenuation coefficient λ4 from the instrument compartment section to the second stage inter-stage section.

[0047] Preferably, based on the longitudinal transmission characteristics, and based on the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle determined in step 3, combined with the longitudinal transmission characteristic attenuation coefficient, the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle is obtained. Specifically, the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle determined in step 3 is multiplied by the corresponding longitudinal transmission characteristic attenuation coefficient (λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4) to obtain the longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle.

[0048] Preferably, λ1=λ2=λ3=λ4=0.9.

[0049] For example, based on Table 1, the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle are shown in Table 2 below:

[0050]

[0051] Table 2. Acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for instruments and equipment in other modules.

[0052] Step 5: Multiply the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on the tail section of the launch vehicle determined in Step 3 and the acceptance-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude of the instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle obtained in Step 4 by the safety factor T, and use the results as the evaluation-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test magnitude.

[0053] In this embodiment, the value of T ranges from 1.5 to 2. For example, T = 1.5 is chosen, meaning that the acceptance-level test magnitudes in Tables 1 and 2 are multiplied by 1.5 to obtain the qualification-level test magnitude. The scanning rate for the qualification-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test is also specified as 2 oct / min. Thus, the qualification-level longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test conditions for instruments and equipment on other sections of the launch vehicle are obtained, as shown in Table 3.

This method has been successfully applied to the development of a new generation of liquid and solid-liquid coupled rockets, ensuring the sufficiency and accuracy of longitudinal sinusoidal vibration test assessments for individual onboard equipment.
