Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of composite material testing, in particular to a testing method for fastener carbon fiber composite material properties, and in particular to a testing and measuring system and method for the electrical breakdown ignition properties of an ignition source of an aircraft composite fuel tank fastener. Background Art

[0002] Carbon fiber composite materials have the characteristics of low density, high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, etc., and have the softness and processability of textile fibers. They are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, military and civilian industries. With the improvement of aircraft design and the advancement of carbon fiber composite material technology, the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite materials CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers) in large civil aircraft, military aircraft, drones and stealth aircraft is growing. At present, 50% of the main wing, tail, fuselage, floor and other structures of Boeing B787 are made of CFRP materials, the proportion of CFRP materials on Airbus A350XWA reaches 53%, the proportion of CFRP materials on China C919 is 12%, and the use of CFRP materials on the second-generation C929 will reach 50%, and composite fuel tanks will be used.

[0003] Lightning is a multiple continuous time-series discharge process that includes high-voltage shock waves, magnetic field forces and Joule heating effects caused by large currents. The strong current, strong magnetic field and accompanying strong shock waves generated by lightning cause the combustion, melting and explosion of the fuselage materials, which will cause the deformation of the fuselage structure and the reduction of strength, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the aircraft. The fuel tank is an important component of the complex system of the aircraft, responsible for storing fuel, adjusting the center of gravity and cooling equipment. In the past 50 years, there have been 18 fuel tank explosion accidents in civil transport aircraft worldwide, resulting in 542 deaths. The fuel system composed of the entire fuselage or wing fuel tank is the most vulnerable system in the aircraft. The fuel tank explosion has become one of the main threats to civil aviation safety and has attracted serious attention from airworthiness management authorities around the world.

[0004] In order to fully reduce the probability of civil aircraft fuel tank explosion accidents, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, the European Aviation Safety Agency, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China have clearly specified the test methods and airworthiness requirements for aircraft fuel tank ignition sources. Aircraft fuel tank ignition sources include filament heating caused by heat under the current carrying capacity of the wire, static breakdown, lightning hot spots, friction heating, edge corona, and arcs / sparks. The ignition mechanism can be summarized as "electrical ignition" and "thermal ignition".

[0005] In the new carbon fiber composite aircraft fuel tank structure, the assembly structure and interface characteristics of the fasteners themselves are the main factors leading to electric field breakdown and current conduction hotspots. The sparks, temperature rise, and airflow jets caused at the structural interface become the source of fuel tank ignition.

[0006] The existing ignition source of large aircraft fuel tanks is mainly tested by the gas method using a spark source with a certain energy in a predetermined concentration of combustible gas. The energy of the spark discharge is obtained by calculating the energy of each component in the discharge circuit, such as the inductor and resistor. However, the judgment result is a digital quantity with only two results: "burning" and "non-burning", which makes it impossible to achieve quantitative prediction and safety assessment of the ignition source.
