TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of reliability analysis of aviation products, and particularly relates to a method for determining the service life of an aviation electro-hydraulic product based on performance model simulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aviation airborne mechanical products mainly include hydraulic and pneumatic devices such as actuators, valves, pumps, valves, locks, etc., electromechanical devices such as electromechanical actuators, generators, electric seats, etc., and motion mechanisms such as locking mechanisms, control mechanisms, and retracting mechanisms, which are widely used in flight control, fuel, hydraulic, environmental control, landing devices and other key airborne systems that directly affect the safety and mission of the aircraft. Among them, complex products such as electromagnetic valves and servo actuators involving multiple fields of electro-hydraulic are the key to affecting the function and reliability of each system.

[0003] At present, during the development of aviation products, durability simulation tests are usually carried out based on the generalized stress-strength and cumulative damage principles and computer technology. By simulating the load history experienced by the product, including working load and environmental load, on the digital prototype of the product, the load is decomposed to the lowest agreed level unit, stress analysis is carried out, and the failure model is used to calculate the wear-type failure time of each component. According to the principle of the shortest time, the service life of the product, i.e. the wear-type failure first occurrence time, is determined, so as to find out the weak link of the product's durability and evaluate the durability level of the product.

[0004] Due to the diversity of the load and the complexity of the working principle of the aviation electro-hydraulic product, the current durability simulation has the following problems, mainly in the following aspects: the electro-hydraulic product involves complex load, and the load on the components is difficult to accurately obtain. In the durability simulation test of general aviation products, the lowest agreed level load needs to be obtained by product load decomposition, among which the load of some components can be directly determined by product design information, and the load involving mechanism dynamics, such as connecting rod speed and cam torque, can be obtained by multi-body dynamics and rotor dynamics simulation analysis. However, the load of complex products in multiple fields of electro-hydraulic, such as the electromagnetic force on the armature of the jet valve, the medium pressure load spectrum in the spool cavity, and the motor coil current, is difficult to obtain, and depends on the experience of product designers for value selection, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of stress analysis results and inaccuracy of wear-type failure time. SUMMARY

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, 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 the electromechanical and hydraulic products of the products is established. Through performance simulation throughout the entire 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 through an interface to carry out joint simulation, so as to realize stress analysis and wear-type failure time calculation under accurate load conditions, thereby ultimately improving the analysis accuracy of the service life and the confidence level of the durability simulation results.

[0077] Step S1: Collect information on aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products, and complete failure mechanism analysis of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products based on product failure modes, impacts, and criticality analysis.

[0078] Step S11: Obtain the material and performance parameters of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic products, the power and control parameters of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic products, as well as the product functional principles and the one-dimensional performance control model of the electromechanical and hydraulic products from the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic product database, specifically:

[0079] The materials and performance parameters of aviation electro-hydraulic products, including density, Young's modulus, strength and thermodynamic properties of the materials; the power and control parameters of aviation electro-hydraulic products, including overshoot, response time, output torque and position accuracy.

[0080] The servo valve in this embodiment of the present invention primarily consists of a torque motor, a dual-nozzle baffle, and a slide valve. This valve is used to output aircraft brake pressure proportional to the control current and is a typical electro-hydraulic product. Information collection revealed the overall structure, operating principle, detailed parameters of each component, and a CAD model, paving the way for performance modeling, stress analysis, and lifespan calculations.

[0081] The one-dimensional performance control model of electromechanical and hydraulic products is obtained during the product design stage based on power bond graph theory, Modelica language and VHDL language modeling. It can describe the product's functional performance and control principles, and determine the loads at each lowest agreed level of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products through performance simulation.

[0082] Step S12: Input components of the failure mechanism analysis process of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic products, perform structural decomposition, load analysis, mechanism determination and mechanism merging on the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic products, complete the failure mechanism analysis, and obtain the sensitive load type and failure mechanism of each lowest agreed level of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic products.

[0083] The input components of the failure mechanism analysis process of aviation electro-hydraulic products include: product structure information, product working principle, full life cycle mission profile and load spectrum; product structure information includes all the lowest agreed level units and structural hierarchy relationships of the product, and is provided in the form of structure decomposition table and structure decomposition diagram; the product working principle reflects the functional logical relationship of the product, including: relative motion relationship, power transfer relationship and constraint relationship, providing a basis for determining the load type of the lowest agreed level unit, and is provided in the form of schematic diagram or text description; the full life cycle mission profile and load spectrum include the working load and environmental load experienced by the product throughout its life cycle, which needs to be distributed by the host from the upper system or determined by the research and development unit according to the functional performance requirements given by the host.

[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. The structure is divided into the initial agreed level, agreed level, and lowest agreed level. A product agreed level diagram or table is drawn to determine the lowest agreed level unit for mechanism analysis.

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

[0090] Step S123: Failure mechanism determination Based on the structure decomposition and load analysis, for each minimum agreed level unit, all the damage type failure mechanisms of each minimum agreed level unit are analyzed and determined. The damage type failure mechanisms include fatigue mechanism, aging mechanism, wear mechanism and demagnetization mechanism. The fatigue mechanism determination principle is that the minimum agreed level unit is subjected to alternating load. The aging mechanism determination principle is that the material is subjected to temperature load, the aging mechanism exists and leads to performance degradation. The wear mechanism determination principle is that the two minimum agreed level units in contact exist normal load and relative motion. The demagnetization mechanism determination principle is that the magnetic steel element in the electric drive assembly is subjected to medium or environmental temperature load.

[0091] Step S124: Mechanism merging When the same mechanism is caused by multiple loads and the same mechanism is caused by the interaction of multiple units, mechanism merging is performed. The specific merging principles are as follows:

[0092] The first merging principle is to merge different load types that cause the same mechanism. For the same minimum agreed level unit, different load types corresponding to the same minimum agreed level unit will produce the same damage mechanism.

[0093] The second merging principle is to merge the mechanisms of different units for the minimum agreed level units constituting the motion pair, and unify them into the same mechanism type.

[0094] Step S2: Determine the load profile of each minimum agreed level according to the one-dimensional performance control model of the aero electromechanical hydraulic product, and perform stress analysis of the aero electromechanical hydraulic product.

[0095] Step S21: Perform load simulation according to the one-dimensional performance control model of the electromechanical hydraulic product in step S11 to obtain the load profile of each minimum agreed level under the product working profile. Specifically:

[0096] Based on the electromechanical hydraulic one-dimensional performance control model of the aero electromechanical hydraulic product, the task profile and working load spectrum of the product are input, and through electromechanical hydraulic multi-field performance simulation, the working load and environmental load spectrum of each minimum agreed level in the whole life cycle are obtained.

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

[0098] For the minimum agreed level with complex load conditions, 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 minimum agreed level.

[0099] This embodiment of the present invention follows a multi-domain electromechanical and hydraulic performance modeling approach and establishes a refined performance model of the servo valve based on AMEsim, covering all key parameters including motor air gap and valve core housing clearance. The performance model primarily consists of three components: the torque motor, the nozzle baffle assembly, and the spool valve. After the performance model is established, three key performance parameters, overshoot, response time, and output pressure, are simulated and compared with measured values ​​to verify the model's accuracy. The performance model is then used to simulate and determine the electromagnetic force acting on the armature assembly during operation. Current step signals under operating conditions are then input into the performance model to simulate the electromagnetic force acting on each component of the armature assembly, as well as the relative travel of the valve core, floating sleeve, and valve housing, providing accurate load input for subsequent stress analysis.

[0100] Step S22: Obtain the load type and failure mechanism of each lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product through the failure mechanism analysis in step S12, determine the type of digital prototype and perform stress simulation analysis to obtain the stress spectrum of each lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product, specifically:

[0101] Step S221: Build a digital prototype and perform stress analysis on the fatigue mechanism of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products, specifically:

[0102] The first type of stress analysis: For aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product parts that are only subject to mechanical stress but are not affected by the vibration environment, a finite element analysis model needs to be established for static analysis; the second type of stress analysis: For aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product parts that are related to the vibration environment, a finite element analysis model needs to be established for vibration stress analysis; the third type of stress analysis: For aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product parts that need to consider fluid loads or temperature loads, a simulation model needs to be established for computational fluid dynamics analysis. A finite element analysis model of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product parts is established, and the pressure field and temperature field results obtained from the simulation analysis are imported into the finite element analysis model through the fluid-solid coupling method for stress analysis.

[0103] like Figure 3 The figure shows the flow chart of the performance and reliability integrated modeling technology of the present invention; the FEA model of the armature-baffle-spring tube assembly and the FEA simulation model of the valve core-valve housing contact are established through the stress analysis process, and the load obtained by the performance model simulation is used as input to carry out stress simulation to obtain the structural stress response spectrum of the armature assembly under the working task profile and the contact stress response of the valve core assembly.

[0104] Step S222: For aging mechanisms, a simulation digital prototype is established for the sealing components and motor coils in electromechanical fluid products, and corresponding fluid thermal analysis is performed to obtain the temperature field, and then the aging life calculation is performed.

[0105] Step S223: For wear mechanisms, a dynamic model of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic product needs to be established for simulation analysis to obtain the tangential and normal force loads on the surface of the aircraft electromechanical and hydraulic product parts, and then calculate the wear life.

[0106] Step S224: For the above-mentioned aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product parts related to load influence, the lowest agreed level load spectrum obtained by the product lowest agreed level load simulation is used as input to establish a lowest agreed level stress simulation digital prototype, and corresponding stress simulation is carried out, including structural stress simulation, thermal stress simulation and fluid simulation, to obtain the stress spectrum of each lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical and hydraulic product.

[0107] Step S3: Analyze the durability index of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products using the linear cumulative damage method to obtain the wear-out failure time.

[0108] Step S31: The damage calculation method for aviation electromechanical fluid products is linear cumulative damage. Based on the mechanism analysis results in step S12, an aviation electromechanical fluid product tree is constructed. The structure of the product tree should be consistent with the mechanism analysis results. Under the set stress level, the damage of the lowest agreed level of the aviation electromechanical fluid product in one cycle is:

[0109]

[0110] Among them, D1 is the damage of the lowest agreed level of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products in one cycle; N is the number of cycles when the lowest agreed level of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products fails.

[0111] The damage of the lowest agreed level of aviation electromechanical and hydraulic products in n cycles under load level S is:

[0112]

[0113] Among them, D n It is the damage of the lowest agreed level of aviation electro-hydraulic products in n cycles; n is the number of cycles when failure occurs.

[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 is the number of cycles of the i-th level load; Ni is the cycle number of the i-th load level; k is the Boltzmann parameter.

[0117] Step S32: For the aviation electro-hydraulic product tree constructed in step S31, a corresponding wear-type failure mechanism model is determined for each node unit of the aviation electro-hydraulic product tree, including a fatigue failure model S, a wear failure model V, and an aging failure model L, which are specifically:

[0118] The fatigue failure model S is a stress method based on the S-N curve of the material according to the characteristics and engineering applications of the electro-hydraulic product:

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

[0120] Wherein, S is the output result of the fatigue failure model; N f is the cycle number; 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] Wherein, V is the output of the wear failure model; k is the wear coefficient; L m is the wear travel; H is the surface hardness of the material.

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

[0125]

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

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

[0130] Step S33: According to the wear-type failure mechanism model selected in step S32, combined with the material and performance parameters of the aviation electro-hydraulic product in step S11, the power and control parameters, and the stress spectrum of the aviation electro-hydraulic product obtained in step S22, the failure time T of the lowest agreed level unit of the aviation electro-hydraulic product is calculated when the load level is S i (i = 1, 2, …, k).

[0131]

[0132] Among them, T is the minimum agreed level unit failure time of aviation electro-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 uses 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 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 present invention's lifespan assessment and weak link identification, based on simulation calculation results and comparison with durability index requirements, determined that, among the five key minimum agreed levels of the servo valve product, the spring tube's wear-out failure time of 3568 times does not meet the total lifespan requirement, making it a weak link in the product. Therefore, the first occurrence of wear-out failures in the servo valve product is 3568 times. Detailed results are shown in Appendix 2. Analysis reveals that the spring tube, as a key component, experiences significant deformation and structural stress under actual operating conditions, resulting in frequent use. Given that the spring tube's relatively low service life represents a weak link, it is recommended to optimize its structural dimensions and stiffness design in accordance with the product's functional performance requirements.
