Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a large-scale continuous wind tunnel balance design strain quantification method, belonging to the technical field of wind tunnel balance design. Background Art

[0002] In the development and modification of large transport aircraft, passenger aircraft and other equipment models, the solution of many aerodynamic phenomena and engineering problems needs to rely on the experimental research of large continuous wind tunnels. Large continuous wind tunnels have technical advantages such as a wide range of Mach numbers and good flow field quality. However, the quality and performance of wind tunnels only represent the ability to reproduce the flight environment. The wind tunnel test multi-component aerodynamic measurement device-wind tunnel balance is the key factor in determining the high-precision / high-efficiency test of aerodynamics of large aircraft. For example, in the modification process of large aircraft, the performance of different rounds of schemes tends to converge, and the drag coefficient of wind tunnel tests is often within 0.0003. Therefore, the accuracy of the repeatable drag coefficient of high-speed wind tunnel tests in the same period needs to reach 0.00005, and the accuracy of the repeatable drag coefficient of different periods needs to reach 0.0001. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-precision wind tunnel balance.

[0003] Design strain is an important indicator of wind tunnel balance, which directly determines the test accuracy of wind tunnel balance. In the prior art, considering the bonding strength of strain gauge and the maximum combined stress limit allowed by the balance body material, a guideline for design strain of wind tunnel balance is proposed, that is, the design strain value range of high-speed wind tunnel balance is 150 -500 , the design strain range of the low-speed wind tunnel balance is 300 -1000 However, the above guidance suggestions are mainly based on the distinction between high-speed wind tunnels and low-speed wind tunnels, and a recommended range of design strain for the balance is given. The operation modes of the wind tunnel, i.e., transient, pulsed and continuous, are not considered, and the actual needs of wind tunnel tests are not fully responded to, and the development of equipment models such as large transport aircraft and passenger aircraft cannot be effectively supported.

[0004] In summary, a strain quantification method for large-scale continuous wind tunnel balance design that meets the needs of wind tunnel testing is needed. Summary of the invention

Apply material mechanics and finite element analysis methods to design and determine the layout and size parameters of wind tunnel balance components to meet the design strain requirements of each component of the wind tunnel balance.

[0008] Furthermore, in S2, the Mach number M and the front chamber total pressure of the test section model area of ​​the model test are collected. The test requirements and test model parameters, namely the reference area s, the average aerodynamic chord length of the wing and the wing span L, the dynamic pressure q of the test section is calculated; The dynamic pressure q of the test section is expressed as: ; in, is the static pressure of the test section model area, .
