Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vibration and noise control, in particular to a multi-environment boat total vibration calculation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The multi-environment boat has the ability to navigate in multi-interface environments such as water surface, ground / ice surface, and ice-water mixed interface. Its special structure makes its total vibration characteristics different from those of conventional water surface boats, and the total vibration characteristics in different navigation environments are different due to the diversity of the navigation environment. These are all important considerations in design, so it is necessary to study the total vibration characteristic calculation method of the multi-environment boat to support the structure design.
[0003] The multi-environment boat is usually composed of a metal boat body structure, a buffer airbag, and a bottom wear-resistant layer, as shown in Figure 1 The weight and stiffness of the buffer airbag and the wear-resistant layer will affect the boat body vibration. In addition, the buffer airbag will also change the stiffness when it is inflated to the working pressure during operation. Therefore, when calculating the total vibration of the multi-environment boat, the simulation of the buffer airbag and the wear-resistant layer and their coupling with the boat body structure need to be considered. The water medium around the boat body will affect the boat body vibration when the multi-environment boat navigates on the water surface, so the influence of the attached water needs to be considered in the total vibration calculation. When the multi-environment boat navigates on the ice surface, the influence of the rigid ground on the free vibration of the boat body needs to be considered.
[0004] In related research, there are total vibration analysis methods for hovercrafts with airbags, but there is no research considering the wear-resistant layer. There are total vibration calculation methods for boats navigating on the water surface, but there is no total vibration calculation method considering the contact boundary condition with the rigid ground.
[0005] Technical problem 1: The influence of the structure composition of the multi-environment boat on the total vibration
[0006] The special structure composition of the multi-environment boat makes its total vibration characteristic calculation different from that of conventional boats, and the coupling of the metal boat body structure, the buffer airbag, and the wear-resistant layer needs to be considered.
[0007] Technical problem 2: The influence of the working environment of the multi-environment boat on the total vibration
[0008] The diversity of the working environment of the multi-environment boat makes its total vibration characteristics different from those of conventional water surface boats, and the influence of the water surface and the ground / ice surface on its natural frequency needs to be considered. SUMMARY

[0019] Step 2.1, the wear layer, the boat body and the fluid interact in the water floating state; in the floating state on the water surface, the boundary can be considered as completely free; set the fluid-structure interaction of the wear layer in contact with the water, and model the wear layer surface of the boat body as the inner surface of the flow field using three-dimensional fluid elements; set the zero pressure boundary condition at the free liquid surface, and use the non-reflecting boundary condition on the outer surface of the finite water area to simulate the far-field boundary condition;
[0020] Step 2.2, the smooth ground / ice surface state can be regarded as a rigid ground, which restricts the vertical movement freedom of the bottom part of the boat; constrain the vertical freedom of the wear layer plate element nodes at the bottom;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the basis of the technical solution of the present application, and gives a detailed implementation manner and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0045] To form a reasonable and effective multi-habitat boat total vibration calculation method, the method steps are as follows:
[0046] I. Coupling model creation of boat body structure-air bag-wear-resistant layer
[0047] The multi-habitat boat total vibration calculation model is composed of a metal boat body, a damping air bag and a wear-resistant layer, as shown in Figure 1 . The three are connected in a common node manner, that is, only the stiffness and weight effects of the air bag and the wear-resistant layer on the total vibration are considered, and the relative friction and slip effects are not considered, as shown in Figure 2 .
[0048] (1) The metal boat body structure adopts plate and beam elements to establish a full-boat range finite element model. The modeling is carried out in the commercial software ABAQUS, the plate and beam element materials are all aluminum alloy, the Young's modulus is 70 GPa, the Poisson's ratio is 0.33, the density is 2700 kg / m 3 , and the thickness has three specifications of 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm. For total vibration calculation, the accurate weight and stiffness distribution is needed, so some structural details with less influence can be simplified, such as the knee plate and the lightening hole. Finally, the material density is adjusted to make the weight distribution consistent with the actual loading state;
[0049] (2) The buffer air bag is a kind of inflatable closed structure, under the action of external excitation, the air bag structure and the internal air interact, and the gas-solid coupling effect needs to be considered. First, the air bag wall is created by using plate elements, and rubber material properties are given. The air bag material is chlorosulfonated polyethylene (Hypalon), the Young's modulus is 1.25 GPa, the Poisson's ratio is 0.45, and the density is 1170 kg / m 3 . The thickness is 1.2 mm; the air bag wall forms a closed cavity and is defined as a surface; then the fluid cavity method is used to establish the gas element inside the air bag, the element type is F3D4, the air inside the air bag is air, the bulk modulus is 1.01×10 -5 GPa, and the density is 1.2 kg / m 3 . The cavity reference point (see the reference numeral 10 in the accompanying drawings) is defined, the reference point is not connected to any element in the model, and only has one degree of freedom, that is, the pressure inside the fluid cavity. As shown in Figure 3 . Figure 3
[0050] (3) The wear-resistant layer is modeled by using plate elements, and rubber material properties are set. The wear-resistant layer material is high molecular polyethylene, and the thickness is 8 mm. The connection part with the two sides of the ship body adopts a common node manner, and the contact part with the air bag is set as a common node.
[0051] II. Boundary conditions for total vibration calculation in multiple environments
[0052] After the full-boat coupling modeling is completed, reasonable boundary conditions need to be set. The total vibration calculation boundary conditions of the amphibious boat should be divided into water surface and ground / ice surface environments.
[0053] (4) Interaction between wear-resistant layer and fluid in water floating state. In the floating state on the water surface, the boundary can be considered completely free. The interaction between the wear-resistant layer and the fluid is set as fluid-structure coupling. The flow field around the boat body is simulated by three-dimensional fluid elements, i.e., AC3D4 elements. The water radius should be no less than 5 times the structure draft. The surface of the boat body wear-resistant layer is modeled as the inner surface of the flow field. Zero pressure boundary conditions are set at the free surface, and non-reflecting boundary conditions are used for the outer surface of the finite water area to simulate the far-field boundary conditions. The contact surface between the fluid element and the boat structure is connected by TIE. The density of seawater in the flow field is ρ = 1025 kg / m 3 , the sound speed in seawater is c = 1450 m / s, the bulk modulus of seawater is K = ρc 2 ; the air density in the air impedance boundary condition is ρ a = 1.29 kg / m 3 , the sound speed in air is c a = 340 m / s, and the air impedance is Z a = ρ a c a .
[0054] (5) Smooth ground / ice surface state can be considered as a rigid ground, which restricts the vertical freedom degree of the boat bottom. The boundary of the boat floating on the water surface can be considered completely free, but for the boat running on the smooth ground, the calculation result will not be consistent with the actual situation if the free boundary condition is used. The boundary condition of the bottom wear-resistant layer plate element node (see Figure 4 Figure 13) vertical freedom degree is constrained.
[0055] III. Total vibration calculation
[0056] After the modeling and boundary condition setting are completed, submit ABAQUS for total vibration calculation:
[0057] (6) Set the static analysis step, load the gas pressure in the airbag to the working pressure of 16 Kpa. The specific way is to set the air pressure value of the reference point.
[0058] (7) Create a modal calculation analysis step, use the Lanczos method to extract the calculation mode, and complete the total vibration calculation.
[0059] At this point, the total vibration calculation of the amphibious boat is completed, and the main process is shown in Figure 5 .
