[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0043] To facilitate understanding of the solutions and effects of the embodiments of the present invention, three specific application examples are given below. Those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are only for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and any specific details thereof are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Figure 1 A flow chart showing the steps of a composite material truss UAV fuselage structure design method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the composite truss UAV fuselage structure design method includes:

[0047] Step 101, determining the bending moment distributed along the fuselage, and then determining the initial geometric parameters of the truss structure;

[0048] Step 102, calculating the moment of inertia and the member strain according to the initial geometric parameters of the truss structure;

[0049] Step 103, calculating equivalent material parameters, and then establishing a finite element model of the truss structure;

[0050] Step 104, establishing a full-scale fuselage truss structure model and calculating the stability of a single strut;

[0051] Step 105, calculating the overall stability of the truss according to the finite element model, and completing the truss fuselage design.

[0052] In one example, the initial geometric parameters of the truss structure include truss height, truss width, longitudinal member outer diameter, and longitudinal member inner diameter.

[0053] In one example, the moment of inertia is:

[0054]

[0055] Among them, I x is the x-direction moment of inertia, I y is the moment of inertia in the y direction.

[0056] In one example, the member strains become:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, ε zx Calculate the strain in the x direction, ε zy is the calculated strain in the y direction, and E is the equivalent elastic modulus of the composite material.

[0059] In one example, the equivalent material parameters are:

[0060]

[0061] in, A 66 =G LT , E L 、E T is the elastic modulus in the single layer direction, G LT is the shear modulus in the single layer direction, E x 、E y is the equivalent material parameter, A is the stiffness matrix parameter, h is the rod wall thickness, μ LT , μ TL is the Poisson’s ratio of a single layer in different directions.

[0062] In one example, the beam elements and shell elements at the nodes of the full-scale fuselage truss structure model are connected using MPC elements, and the truss nodes and main load-bearing members are established through the shell elements.

[0063] In an example, the stability of a single strut is calculated using Euler's formula:

[0064]

[0065] In one example, the overall stability of the truss is calculated based on the finite element model. The truss fuselage design includes:

[0066] If the overall stability of the truss meets the design requirements, the truss fuselage design is completed. If not, the finite element model is re-established for iteration.

[0067] Specifically, according to the load (horizontal tail and vertical tail load) and stiffness design requirements, the bending moment M distributed along the fuselage is calculated: x 、M y .

[0068] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an end surface of a truss fuselage structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0069] According to the bending moment distribution of the fuselage, the initial geometric parameters of the truss structure are determined by engineering calculation methods, including the truss height H, truss width L, longitudinal bar outer diameter D, and longitudinal bar inner diameter d, such as Figure 2shown.

[0070] Calculate the moment of inertia in different directions as:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, I x is the x-direction moment of inertia, I y is the moment of inertia in the y direction.

[0073] The calculated member strain is:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, ε zx Calculate the strain in the x direction, ε zy is the calculated strain in the y direction, and E is the equivalent elastic modulus of the composite material. Since the allowable strain values ​​used are equal,

[0076] ε zy =ε zx =[ε]

[0077] Wherein, [ε] is the allowable strain value of the member, which is obtained based on the test of different material systems or the strength design requirements of engineering projects.

[0078] Truss nodes are generally nodes with a certain degree of rigidity. Due to the influence of node rigidity, rod bending and axial additional force occur. The additional force needs to take into account the axial deformation of the rod. The finite element model of the truss structure is established based on the preliminary obtained rod geometric dimensions and layup.

[0079] Composite rods are simulated using beam elements (bar elements), and equivalent material parameters are calculated based on material and ply information. The equivalent material parameters are:

[0080]

[0081] in, A 66 =G LT , E L 、E T is the elastic modulus in the single layer direction, G LT is the shear modulus in the single layer direction, E x 、E y is the equivalent material parameter, A is the stiffness matrix parameter, h is the rod wall thickness, μ LT , μ TL is the Poisson’s ratio of a single layer in different directions.

[0082] The equivalent shear modulus is

[0083] G xy =A 66 / h

[0084] The equivalent Poisson's ratio is

[0085]

[0086] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of selecting two spans of a fuselage truss according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0087] A full-scale fuselage truss structure model was established, and the static and stability analysis of the model was performed. The beam element (bar element) and the shell element (shell element) at the truss node were connected using MPC (RBE2) elements. Two typical truss structures were selected, such as Figure 3 As shown, shell elements are used to establish truss nodes and main load-bearing members.

[0088] Extract the beam element (bar element) force (FORCE) and calculate the stress and strain of the bar:

[0089]

[0090] The bar strain and critical pressure are calculated by beam unit force, composite material equivalent elastic modulus and effective length of the compression bar. The effective length of the compression bar can be given by experiment. The stability of a single compression bar is calculated using the Euler formula:

[0091]

[0092] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a truss UAV fuselage structure finite element model according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the overall stability of the truss is obtained through the overall finite element model calculation to determine whether all calculation results meet the design requirements. If so, the truss fuselage design is completed. If not, the ply and geometric parameters are adjusted in a targeted manner according to the calculation results, and the finite element model is re-established for iteration to finally complete the design convergence.

[0094] The fuselage design of the UAV using this method has shown through ground tests that the weight reduction effect is obvious compared with the traditional design method, and the design iteration speed is increased by more than 30%.
