[0045] A simplified method for aircraft repeated pressurization test load spectrum, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0046] Step 1: Determine the repeated charging load spectrum and the maximum charging load.

[0047] The repeated pressurization load spectrum is a description of the pressurization loads in different mission profiles during aircraft design and use, and is composed of pressurization load spectra under different mission profiles.

[0048] The maximum pressure load of the repeated pressure load spectrum is the maximum pressure load under all mission profiles, and is expressed as P max express.

[0049] Step 2: Count the rain flow of the pressurization load spectrum of different mission profiles in the repeated pressurization load spectrum, and determine the load level based on the rain flow results.

[0050] Rainflow counting is a load spectrum processing method that can remove load levels in the load spectrum that do not cause damage. Rainflow counting is performed on the pressurization load spectra of different mission profiles in the repeated pressurization load spectrum, and the pressurization load spectrum can be compiled into a system containing different numbers of load levels.

[0051] The load level determined based on the rain flow results can be expressed as (P i,j , ρ i,j ),in,

[0052] P i,j is the peak load of the jth load pair under the i-th mission profile;

[0053] ρ i,jis the valley load of the jth load pair under the i-th mission profile.

[0054] Step 3: Based on the load level, calculate the relative damage of each mission profile.

[0055]

[0056] in,

[0057] ζ i is the relative damage of the i-th mission profile;

[0058] n is the total number of payloads in the mission profile;

[0059] Q i,j is the relative damage of the jth load in the i-th mission profile, and is the load level (P i,j , ρ i,j ) function;

[0060] α is the characteristic parameter for relative damage calculation, which is related to the SN curve. For aircraft fuselage structures, 4 can generally be selected.

[0061] Q i,j =[P i,j ×(P i,j -ρ i,j )] 1 / 2 .

[0062] Step 4: Calculate the relative damage of all mission sections.

[0063]

[0064] in,

[0065] ζ is the relative damage of all mission profiles;

[0066] N is the total number of mission profiles;

[0067] ψ i is the profile ratio of the i-th mission profile.

[0068] Step 5: Simplify the load series of the repeated pressurization load spectrum to obtain the load series of the simplified load spectrum.

[0069] The load levels of the simplified load spectrum can generally be selected from 1 to 3, which is determined based on the repeated pressurization test results.

[0070] Step 6: According to the principle of equal relative damage, determine the load values ​​and their proportions of different load levels in the simplified load spectrum.

[0071] The relative damage calculation of the simplified load spectrum can be performed by the relative damage of each mission profile and the relative damage of all mission profiles mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] The simplified load spectrum generally needs to include the maximum pressure load P max , the minimum load is generally selected as 5-10KPa.

[0073] In a specific implementation, it is proposed to simplify the load spectrum of the aircraft repeated pressurization test. The simplified load spectrum includes two levels, each accounting for 50%. The simplified method of the aircraft repeated pressurization test load spectrum disclosed in the above embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0074] S1. Obtain the repeated inflation load spectrum and the maximum inflation load.

[0075] The aircraft mission profile and its maximum pressurization load are as follows

[0076] Serial number Mission Profile Maximum filling load / KPa Section Scale 1 Typical Task 1 50 25% 2 Typical Task 2 55 10% 3 Typical Task 3 30 25% 4 Training Mission 1 0 20% 5 Training Mission 2 50 20%

[0077] Maximum pressure load P max =55KPa.

[0078] Among them, the pressure load spectrum of typical mission 1 and 2 sections is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the pressure load spectrum of the training task 2 section is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0079] S2. Count the rain flow of the pressurization load spectrum of different mission profiles in the repeated pressurization load spectrum, and determine the load level based on the rain flow results, as shown in the following table:

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] S3. Based on the load level, calculate the relative damage of each mission profile, as shown in the following table:

[0083] Mission Profile Typical Task 1 Typical Task 2 Typical Task 3 Training Mission 1 Training Mission 2 Relative damage 6250000 12213125 810000 1 6250000

[0084] S4. Calculate the relative damage of all mission profiles ζ = 4236312.5.

[0085] S5. Simplify the load order of the repeated pressurization load spectrum, and obtain a simplified load order of 2.

[0086] S6. Based on the principle of equal relative damage, determine the load values ​​and their proportions for different load levels of the simplified load spectrum, as shown in the following table:

[0087] Load level Maximum load / KPa Minimum load / KPa Proportion 1 55 5 50% 2 38.7 5 50%

[0088] The method for simplifying the aircraft repressurization test load spectrum disclosed in the above embodiment simplifies the load levels of the repressurization load spectrum to obtain the load levels of the simplified load spectrum, and then determines the load values ​​and their proportions of different load levels of the simplified load spectrum based on the principle of relative damage equality, thereby achieving the simplification of the repressurization load spectrum and facilitating the repressurization test.
