Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention provides a method for quickly calculating structural quality characteristics in the conceptual design stage of a high-speed aircraft, and belongs to the field of aircraft design. Background Art

[0002] Hypersonic vehicles refer to aircraft with a flight speed exceeding 5 Ma. They can not only greatly reduce the time of transcontinental transportation of personnel and cargo, but also can be used as hypersonic weapons to quickly strike long-range targets. They are a current and future research hotspot in the aerospace field. Hypersonic vehicle geometry, aerodynamics, structural quality and other disciplines are tightly coupled with each other, and there are complex nonlinear relationships. The linear design method of traditional aerospace aircraft is difficult to meet the design requirements. Therefore, a multidisciplinary optimization design method for aircraft is proposed. In the conceptual design stage of hypersonic aircraft, the overall performance of many disciplines such as aircraft geometry, aerodynamics, and structural quality is considered as much as possible.

[0003] The structural mass characteristics of a high-speed aircraft are an important part of the total takeoff mass of the aircraft. The calculation of the structural mass characteristics of a high-speed aircraft depends on the geometric layout and needs to be considered at the beginning of the geometric layout design.

[0004] When calculating the structural quality characteristics of high-speed aircraft, the reference geometric layout must be determined first, and then the structural quality estimation adopts the component method. According to the empirical formula, the geometric shape parameters of the fuselage, wing, and tail are input to calculate the structural quality of the aircraft fuselage, wing, and tail, thereby obtaining the structural quality characteristics of the high-speed aircraft. However, during the aircraft design process, parameters such as the density of the aircraft structure material and the thickness of the structure will affect the structural quality characteristics of the aircraft. The current calculation method of the structural quality characteristics of the aircraft cannot reflect the relationship between the structural quality characteristics of the aircraft and the density of the structural material and the thickness of the structure, which will have an adverse effect on the aircraft optimization design. Summary of the invention

[0045] Figure 2 This is the basic structure diagram of the high-speed aircraft during the conceptual design phase of this application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can implement the application by referring to the description.

[0047] The present invention discloses a method for quickly calculating the structural quality characteristics of an aircraft in the conceptual design stage. Figure 1 As shown, the method at least includes:

[0048] Step 1: clarify the basic structure of the high-speed aircraft. The basic structure of the high-speed aircraft is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the aircraft structure is divided into three parts: fuselage, wings and tail. The fuselage is mainly composed of insulation layer, skin, bulkhead and truss, and the wings and tail are mainly composed of insulation layer, skin, wing ribs and wing spars.

[0049] Step 2: Given the geometric shape of a high-speed aircraft. The geometric shape of the aircraft is generally generated by 3D modeling software, such as CATIA, etc. The aircraft reference point is set as the head vertex, the X-axis is in the longitudinal symmetry plane of the aircraft, pointing to the tail, the Y-axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal symmetry plane of the aircraft, pointing to the right, and the Z-axis satisfies the right-hand rule and points upward.

[0050] Step 3, generate the surface grid of the high-speed aircraft. The surface grid is a quadrilateral structure grid, which can be generated by grid division software such as Pointwise. When dividing the surface grid, due to the complexity of the aircraft shape, it is often difficult to divide the aircraft surface grid into a single N×M grid. Generally, the aircraft grid is divided into blocks according to the composition of the aircraft to form a multi-block grid consisting of a fuselage grid block, a wing grid block, and a tail grid block. The three-dimensional grid point coordinates of each grid block of the aircraft are defined in a Cartesian coordinate system. The coordinates of each grid point are in the form of [x, y, z]. The three-dimensional point grid data is sorted in rows and columns, corresponding to the position of the grid points on the surface of the aircraft. There are n points in each row and m points in each column. The number of grid points is n×m, and the number of grid units is (n-1)×(m-1); the grid point data is stored one by one and row by row in a file format such as .data, and finally it can be seen that there are three data in each row, with a total of (n×m) rows.

[0051] Step 4: Import the grid and identify the fuselage, wing, and tail grids. The grid identification method is as follows: the wing has the largest span-wise size, the wing block grid point has the largest Y coordinate average value, the tail is close to the tail of the fuselage, and the tail block grid point has the largest X coordinate average value. The fuselage, wing, and tail grids can be identified by comparing the average coordinate values ​​of the grid points of each grid block.
