Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aero-engine design calculation, and relates to a calculation method for stress of an inlet, combustion and exhaust part of a subsonic ramjet engine. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a kind of air-breathing high-speed power device, the subsonic ramjet engine has higher thrust performance and specific impulse than other power devices in the M2-4 flight speed range. Compared with a turbine engine, the subsonic ramjet engine is simple in structure and has no rotating parts, and is the preferred power device for cruise aircraft in the M2-4 speed range.
[0003] The subsonic ramjet engine is composed of an inlet, a combustion chamber and a nozzle. The inlet mainly pressurizes and decelerates the incoming airflow to meet the airflow conditions required by the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber mixes and burns the incoming airflow with the fuel carried by the engine to convert the chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy and heat the incoming airflow. The nozzle depressurizes and accelerates the high-enthalpy airflow to convert the heat energy into kinetic energy, thereby generating thrust to propel the aircraft forward.
[0004] The conventional subsonic ramjet engine for space missiles adopts an inlet, combustion and exhaust integrated design. The engine can serve as the barrel of the missile, which is simple in structure design and low in structural mass coefficient. However, if the subsonic ramjet engine is used as the power of an aircraft, since the aircraft structure process usually adopts a frame beam type, the barrel of the subsonic ramjet engine only serves as a part of the middle and rear fuselage of the aircraft. The combustion chamber of the engine is usually fixed by a mounting joint, and the inlet and exhaust are fixed by the frame beam. This structural layout form requires a certain prediction and evaluation capability for the stress and force transmission of each part of the subsonic ramjet engine, which is used as an input parameter for the aircraft structure design. In addition, since the thrust axis of the engine and the center of gravity of the aircraft generally do not overlap, the influence of the engine inlet, combustion and exhaust parts on the torque of the aircraft needs to be considered.
