Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aircraft structure design, and in particular relates to a connecting wing structure optimization design method based on flutter constraints. Background Art

[0002] A connected wing layout aircraft refers to an aircraft layout configuration in which the swept front wing and the swept rear wing are connected to form a diamond frame structure. From the front view and the top view, the connected wing frames are diamond-shaped projections, and the fuselage is the connecting diagonal of the diamond frame. The connected wing layout has the characteristics of light structural weight, small induced drag, and high maximum lift coefficient when trimmed. It is a very competitive layout form for aircraft with long flight time or long range design requirements.

[0003] Due to the interdependence between its unique aerodynamic shape and structural topology, the aircraft with a connected wing layout will show a significant aeroelastic coupling effect during flight. Its critical flutter speed is closely related to the front and rear sweep angles, connection positions, composite layer shearing methods, modal vibration shapes, mass distribution, etc. of the front and rear wings. The substantial increase in design variables has put forward higher requirements for the structural design of the connected wing. The conventional design method is to design the structure such as size, structural form and composite layer according to the given layout, and then check the critical flutter speed. If it is found that the structure that meets the requirements cannot be designed during the size and composite design stage, the wing structure layout needs to be revised. This design method leads to problems such as long design cycle and high cost.

[0004] In order to reduce the design time of the connecting wing structure, it is urgent to develop a connecting wing structure optimization design method based on flutter constraints. Summary of the invention

[0014] S40. Optimize the connecting wing structure;

[0015] The static-modal-flutter joint optimization process of the connecting wing structure is established by using the optimization workflow software and finite element analysis software. The optimization criteria and flutter critical speed parameters are used as constraints, and the multi-parameter and multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to optimize the connecting wing structure. The optimization objectives are to ensure that the maximum stress and strain, modal frequency and vibration shape, and model flutter speed of the connecting wing structure meet the design objectives of the connecting wing structure at the same time.

[0016] S50. Carry out three-dimensional structural design of the connecting wing structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the optimization criterion is based on the premise of similar stiffness, that is, the flexibility coefficient matrix of the connecting wing structure is and the target flexibility matrix Similar; before stiffness optimization, the material density in the connecting wing structure is assigned to 0, and the model mass directly uses the target mass parameter. After the stiffness optimization is completed, the mass optimization is performed according to each partition; when performing stiffness optimization, the function of the design variable or the function of the structural response is used as the mathematical target of optimization;

[0018] The optimization criteria are as follows:

[0019] ①Flexibility coefficient matrix of the model and the target flexibility matrix The ratio of the diagonal items of is the same, and the mathematical expression is:

[0020] ;

[0021] in, is the diagonal error parameter of the flexibility coefficient matrix; is the diagonal flexibility coefficient, is the diagonal target flexibility coefficient, is the displacement direction and force direction on the diagonal line;
