Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of solid rocket engine charge damage assessment, and in particular to a propellant accelerated aging test fixture taking service profile into consideration. Background Art

[0002] Solid rocket engines have a simple structure, are easy to use and maintain, and are convenient for long-term storage. They are the main power unit of missiles. Unlike the almost constant temperature and humidity conditions in the ammunition depot, missiles performing duty missions are stored in the natural environment for a long time, facing harsh environments such as high temperatures in summer, low temperatures in winter, and bumps and vibrations on vehicles and ships. Solid rocket engines are subject to alternating ambient temperatures every day. The thermal expansion coefficients of materials such as the engine case and grain column vary greatly. Under the action of alternating temperature loads, thermal stress and thermal strain will be generated inside the grain column, causing fatigue damage inside the grain column or the bonding interface, forming cracks inside the grain column or causing interface debonding, affecting the structural integrity of the solid rocket engine. Therefore, the effects of these strains, vibrations, and temperature alternating loads on the mechanical properties of the grain column need to be considered during the design stage of the solid rocket engine. The industrial sector often evaluates the mechanical properties of the propellant by conducting some fixed strain aging, vibration, and high temperature tests on solid propellants. By designing a solid propellant constant strain-vibration-high temperature aging test, we explore the changing laws of its mechanical properties to predict the damage of the solid propellant, and provide data support for evaluating the damage of the solid rocket engine grain. This is of great significance for extending the service life of the solid rocket engine, reducing maintenance costs, improving the use and maintenance efficiency, and ensuring the normal operation of the missile.

[0003] Currently, there is no standard solid propellant constant strain-vibration-high temperature accelerated aging test fixture. Although there are various types of fixtures, they fail to take into account the effects of multiple typical environmental loads such as temperature and vibration on solid rocket engine grains.

[0013] Furthermore, by changing the number of the adjusting washers, the distance between the base plate and the cover plate can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the upper and lower clamps to achieve the application of a predetermined strain level.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer surface of the clamp abuts against the inner surface of the bottom plate cover.

[0015] Furthermore, the chuck has a fixed end and a free end, and the fixed end is provided with a third through hole; the third through hole corresponds to the position of the first countersunk hole and is used for a long screw to pass through.

[0016] Furthermore, the long screw passes through the flat washer, the third through hole, the flat washer, the spring washer, and the hexagonal nut from top to bottom in sequence, and cooperates with the second countersunk hole to install the fixed end on the cover plate; the long screw passes through the flat washer, the third through hole, the flat washer, the spring washer, and the hexagonal nut from bottom to top in sequence, and cooperates with the first countersunk hole to install the fixed end on the base plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the free end of the chuck extends inwardly to form a hook head with an arc radius of 12 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the lengths of the large L-shaped chuck and the small L-shaped chuck are 150 mm and 50 mm respectively, and the heights are both 50 mm.

[0019] Furthermore, a notch is provided in the middle of the support rod to facilitate clamping of the test device.

[0020] Furthermore, the large L-shaped chuck and the small L-shaped chuck can hold a dumbbell-shaped solid propellant specimen.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
