Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation product reliability analysis, and in particular relates to a method for determining the service life of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products based on performance model simulation. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft mechanical products mainly include hydraulic and pneumatic equipment such as actuators, valves, pumps, valves, locks, etc., electromechanical equipment such as electromechanical actuators, generators, electric seats, and motion mechanisms such as locking mechanisms, control mechanisms, and retracting mechanisms. They are widely used in flight control, fuel, hydraulic, environmental control, landing gear and other key airborne systems that directly affect aircraft safety and missions. Among them, solenoid valves, servo actuators and other complex products involving multiple fields of electromechanical and hydraulic are the key to affecting the functions and reliability of each system.

[0003] At present, durability simulation tests are often carried out in the development stage of aviation products. Based on the generalized stress-strength and cumulative damage principles and computer technology, the load history experienced by the product, including working load and environmental load, is simulated on the digital prototype of the product, and then decomposed into the lowest agreed level unit of the product for stress analysis. The failure model is then used to calculate the wear-out failure time of each component. According to the principle of shortest time, the service life of the product, i.e. the first occurrence time of wear-out failure, is determined, so as to find out the weak links in the durability of the product and evaluate the durability level of the product.

[0004] Due to the diversity of loads and the complexity of working principles of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products, the following problems exist in the current durability simulation, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: electromechanical and hydraulic products involve complex loads, and it is difficult to accurately obtain the loads on components. In the durability simulation test of general aviation products, the lowest agreed level load needs to be decomposed from the product load, among which the loads of some components can be directly determined by the product design information, and the loads involving mechanism dynamics such as connecting rod movement speed, cam torque, etc. can be obtained through multi-body dynamics and rotor dynamics simulation analysis, while the loads of electromechanical and hydraulic multi-field complex products such as the electromagnetic force on the jet valve armature, the medium pressure load spectrum in the slide valve cavity, and the motor coil current are difficult to obtain, and rely on the experience of product designers to obtain values, resulting in reduced accuracy of stress analysis results and inaccurate wear-type failure time. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for determining the service life of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products based on performance model simulation. On the basis of fully analyzing the functional principles and load conditions of the products, a multi-domain performance model of electromechanical and hydraulic products is established. Through performance simulation throughout the life cycle, the load information and boundary conditions of each lowest agreed level are obtained, and then the lowest agreed level stress analysis and failure time calculation are carried out based on this. For more complex load conditions, the performance model is combined with the finite element analysis model, CFD simulation model or directly with the failure model at the lowest agreed level through an interface to carry out joint simulation, so as to realize stress analysis and wear-type failure time calculation under accurate load conditions, and finally improve the analysis accuracy of the service life and the confidence of the durability simulation results.

[0086]

[0087] The specific steps for structural decomposition, load analysis, mechanism determination and mechanism merging of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products are as follows:

[0088] Step S121: Structural decomposition requires that the product's structure be decomposed based on the clarification of the product's composition, working principle and characteristics, and divided into the initial agreed level, agreed level and minimum agreed level, and a product agreed level diagram or table be drawn to determine the minimum agreed level unit for mechanism analysis.

[0089] Step S122: Load analysis is based on the mission profile and life cycle load spectrum of the product, combined with the motion relationship and constraint relationship between the lowest agreed levels of the product and the components, to analyze and determine all load types and modes of action to which each lowest agreed level is subjected during the entire life cycle, including: working load and environmental load; working load includes load force, rotation speed, stroke, medium pressure and medium temperature; environmental load includes vibration and ambient temperature.

[0090] Step S123: Failure mechanism determination: Based on the structural decomposition and load analysis, for each lowest agreed level unit, analyze and determine all the wear-type failure mechanisms of each lowest agreed level unit; the wear-type failure mechanisms include: fatigue mechanism, aging mechanism, wear mechanism and demagnetization mechanism; the fatigue mechanism is determined based on the principle that when the lowest agreed level unit is subjected to alternating loads; the aging mechanism is determined based on the principle that when the material is subjected to temperature loads, an aging mechanism will exist and lead to performance degradation; the wear mechanism is determined based on the principle that the two lowest agreed level units in contact with each other have normal loads and relative motion; the demagnetization mechanism is determined based on the principle that the magnetic steel elements in the electric drive assembly are subjected to medium or ambient temperature loads.

[0091] Step S124: Mechanism merging: When multiple loads cause the same mechanism, or multiple units interact to cause the same mechanism, the mechanism is merged. The specific merging principles are:

[0092] The first merging principle is to merge different load types that cause the same mechanism; for the same lowest agreed level unit, the corresponding different load types will produce the same loss mechanism.

[0093] The second merging principle is to merge the mechanisms of different units at the lowest agreed level units that constitute the kinematic pair and unify them into the same mechanism type.

[0094] Step S2: Determine the load profiles of each lowest agreed level according to the one-dimensional performance control model of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products, and perform stress analysis on the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products.

[0095] Step S21: Perform load simulation according to the one-dimensional performance control model of the electromechanical and hydraulic product in step S11 to obtain the load profiles of the lowest agreed levels under the product working profile, specifically:

[0097] The input load of electromechanical hydraulic products is the current control signal from the control system, the hydraulic pressure of the upper system, and the load. These are used as initial conditions to input the one-dimensional control performance model to carry out load simulation analysis, and obtain the load profile of each lowest agreed level under the product working profile, providing accurate boundary condition input for subsequent stress analysis.

[0098] For the lowest agreed level with more complex loading conditions, a joint simulation is carried out by developing an interface between the one-dimensional performance control model and the stress analysis model to obtain the structural stress or thermal stress of the lowest agreed level.

The aviation electromechanical fluid product tree is constructed according to the mechanism analysis results in step S12. The structure of the product tree should be consistent with the mechanism analysis results. The lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical fluid product is under the set stress level. Then, the damage of the lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical fluid product in one cycle is:

[0114] For any load level S i (i=1,2,…,k), the number of cycles is n i (i=1,2,…,k), when the critical damage of the lowest agreed level of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products is D CR =1, the linear cumulative damage equation is:

[0115]

[0116] Among them, D CR The lowest agreed level of critical damage for aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products; n i N is the number of cycles of the i-th level load;i is the number of cycles when the i-th level load of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product fails; i is the load number; k is the Boltzmann parameter.

[0117] Step S32: for the aviation electromechanical fluid product tree constructed in step S31, the corresponding wear-out failure mechanism model is determined for each node unit of the aviation electromechanical fluid product tree, including: fatigue failure model S, wear failure model V and aging failure model L, specifically:

[0118] The fatigue failure model S is obtained based on the characteristics of electromechanical and hydraulic products and engineering applications. The stress method based on the material SN curve is:

[0119] S=A(N f ) b ;

[0120] Where S is the output result of fatigue failure model; N f is the number of cycles; b is the first parameter of the material; A is the second parameter of the material.

[0121] The wear failure model V is specifically an adhesive wear model:

[0122]

[0123] Where V is the output of the wear failure model; k is the wear coefficient; L m is the wear stroke; H is the surface hardness of the material.

[0124] The insulation aging model in the aging failure model is:

[0125]

[0126] Among them, L is the average insulation aging life; G is the material parameter related to insulation; E is the insulation aging model parameter.

[0127] The seal aging model in the aging failure model is:

[0128]

[0129] Among them, F is the aging reaction rate, and its reciprocal is the aging life; B is the sealing parameter; Ea is the material activation energy parameter; k is the Boltzmann parameter; T1 is the sealing temperature parameter.

[0130] Step S33: Based on the wear-out failure mechanism model selected in step S32, combined with the material and performance parameters, power and control parameters of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products in step S11 and the stress spectrum of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products obtained in step S22, at a load level of S i When (i=1,2,…,k), the minimum agreed hierarchical unit failure time T of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products is calculated as:

[0131]

[0132] Among them, T is the minimum agreed level unit failure time of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products; t is the single load history time; D is the damage of the unit after a single load history.

[0133] The embodiment of the present invention takes the structural stress response spectrum of the armature assembly under the working task profile and the contact stress response of the valve core assembly as input, and respectively uses the nominal stress method fatigue life calculation model and the Archard wear life calculation model to analyze and obtain the fatigue life of the armature, baffle, and spring tube and the wear life of the valve core and housing.

[0134] Step S4: Compare the minimum agreed hierarchical unit failure times of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products corresponding to the different wear-out failure mechanism models in step S33, determine the weak links of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products, and select the shortest unit failure time as the life of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products.

[0135] The life assessment and weak link determination of the present invention, based on the simulation calculation results and comparing the durability index requirements, determine that among the five key minimum agreed levels of the servo valve product, the wear-type failure time of the spring tube is 3568 times, which does not meet the total life requirements and is a weak link of the product. Therefore, the first occurrence time of the wear-type failure of the servo valve product is 3568 times. For specific results, see Appendix 2. The reason for the analysis is that the spring tube, as a key component, has a large deformation amount, large structural stress, and is frequently used under actual use conditions. In view of the relatively low service life of the spring tube as a weak link, it is recommended to optimize the structural size and stiffness design of the spring tube in combination with the product functional performance requirements.
