[0030] In order to make the technical solutions of the present application and the advantages thereof clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be further clearly, completely and specifically described below in combination with the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only partial embodiments of the present application, and are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. It should be noted that, for the purpose of description, only parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, and other related parts can be referred to the general design. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined to obtain new embodiments.
[0031] According to the flow of Figure 1 , the static equivalent coefficients of the dynamic loads of water ditching of a certain type of airplane are determined. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0032] Step one: Obtain the water pressure load-time history of the bottom of the airplane fuselage.
[0033] The water pressure load-time history of the bottom of the airplane fuselage is obtained through the dynamic load measurement test of water ditching. The test can generally be carried out through a towing tank or an open water tank, and the test model is a rigid pressure measurement model. The water ditching water load test of a certain airplane is completed in a towing tank, and the water pressure load-time curve under a typical configuration is shown in Figure 2 , the pressure peak of each part is shown in Figure 3 , and the maximum peak pressure is about 52 kPa.
[0034] Step two: Determine the critical parameters of the elastic structure failure through the dynamic response test of the elastic model of the bottom of the airplane fuselage in water ditching.
[0035] The critical failure parameters of the elastic structure are determined through the water ditching test of the elastic model of the bottom of the airplane fuselage, and the test state must be consistent with the water ditching dynamic load measurement test. The structure failure parameters include skin thickness, skeleton stiffness, etc. The full-scale test model is a rigid model, and the bottom of the fuselage is replaced by a designed elastic model.
[0036] For the aircraft bottom structure, since the skin and stringers are riveted together, under the action of out-of-plane load, the skin strain can be considered consistent with the strain of the stringer attachment surface. Under the action of water load, the skin of the bottom structure of the fuselage generally fails before the stringer structure, so the equal strength fuselage bottom is designed based on the skin failure before the fuselage stringer. The skin of the model is selected from a waterproof, shapeable and low ultimate strength skin material. The skin material is made of a special fiber paper, and the thickness of the skin can be adjusted by adjusting the number of paper layers and the number of organic solvent brushing times.
[0037] During a water ditching test, the local skin of the 3-layer fiber paper fuselage structure was torn due to water pressure, while the 4-layer fiber paper fuselage structure was intact. It is shown that the critical failure thickness of the skin is between 3 layers and 4 layers.
[0038] Step three: determine the critical capacity of the structure to withstand static pressure load through bearing capacity test.
[0039] The bearing capacity of the elastic structure is obtained through the static mechanical property test of the structure. The structure parameters of the elastic structure are consistent with those in step two. Through the static force test, the static bearing limit of the structure is obtained.
[0040] The model used in the static pressure test is consistent with the dynamic model, and the skin thickness of 3 layers and 4 layers of fiber paper is laid in the stress maximum area. It can be seen from the relationship curve between the ultimate strength of the skin and the thickness of the skin that the ultimate strength of the skin is not strictly linear with the thickness of the skin, and the elastic modulus of the material decreases slightly with the increase of the thickness of the skin. The corresponding ultimate static pressure of the 3-layer and 4-layer skin of the aircraft bottom scale model is 31.04 kPa and 37.4 kPa respectively.
[0041] Step four: obtain the static equivalent coefficient of water ditching dynamic load by comprehensive evaluation of structure failure. The static equivalent coefficient of water ditching dynamic load of a certain aircraft is obtained by applying formula (1) η = 0.60-0.72.
[0042] An aircraft fuselage bottom structure optimization design method, using the coefficient determined in the aircraft water ditching dynamic load static equivalent coefficient determination method,
[0043] An aircraft fuselage bottom structure optimization design method, comprising:
[0044] Obtain the equivalent static load distribution of the aircraft fuselage bottom under the water ditching working condition;
[0045] Determine the initial value of the fuselage structure parameters;
[0046] Take the initial value of the fuselage structure parameters as input, take satisfying the equivalent static load distribution of the aircraft fuselage bottom as constraint, and take the minimum weight of the aircraft fuselage bottom as optimization objective to optimize.
[0047] Optimize the structure parameters of different parts of the fuselage.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, the fuselage structure parameters include: structure form, skin thickness, skeleton stiffness, energy-absorbing structure configuration and arrangement.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, the influence weight of different fuselage structure parameters on the dynamic response of the bottom of the aircraft fuselage is analyzed, and the optimization of different fuselage structure parameters is sorted based on the influence weight.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, the optimization frequency of the fuselage structure parameters in the front of the optimization sequence is greater than that of the fuselage structure parameters in the back of the optimization sequence.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, the method for obtaining the equivalent static load distribution of the bottom of the aircraft fuselage under the water ditching working condition comprises: determining the dynamic water pressure load distribution of the bottom of the aircraft fuselage, and calculating the equivalent static load distribution of the bottom of the aircraft fuselage under the water ditching working condition based on the water ditching dynamic load static equivalent coefficient.
[0052] The determined aircraft water ditching dynamic load static equivalent coefficient is mainly used for aircraft water ditching performance design, so as to improve the iteration design efficiency of the aircraft fuselage structure under the water ditching load working condition. The water pressure load borne by the bottom of the aircraft fuselage during water ditching is an impact dynamic load. The conventional method takes the peak value of the water ditching impact dynamic load as the design load for the structure design, which leads to a very conservative design result. The optimization design of the structure by using the impact dynamic load will make the design iteration efficiency relatively low. The determined aircraft water ditching dynamic load static equivalent coefficient can quickly obtain the equivalent static load of the structure optimization design under the water ditching working condition. The optimization of the structure form, skin thickness, skeleton stiffness, energy-absorbing structure configuration and arrangement of the fuselage structure by using the static load can realize the rapid iteration of the structure parameters and improve the design efficiency.
[0053] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
