Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of structural modal test design, and discloses a modal test design method under the condition of the overall assembly of a lobe-integrated thin-walled casing. Background Art
[0002] In order to improve the thrust-to-weight ratio, lobe-integrated thin-walled casings (as shown in Figure 1 ) are widely used in aeroengines. This structure is exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-speed airflows. Its lobe structure can reduce the steady-state thermal stress by generating thermal deformation. However, the relatively weak-rigid lobe structure is prone to vibration caused by airflow excitation, resulting in relatively high vibration stress. Therefore, high-cycle fatigue cracks caused by vibration often occur.
[0003] In order to prevent high-cycle fatigue cracks from occurring in the lobe-integrated thin-walled casing, anti-high-cycle fatigue design needs to be implemented on it. The first step is to accurately obtain the natural frequency, vibration mode, and damping through modal tests. Although the modal test design method for the casing has been very mature, the current modal test design method mainly targets the casing in the component state. Special tooling needs to be designed to simulate the overall assembly environment, which increases the test cost and prolongs the test cycle. At the same time, the assembly constraint situation between the lobe-integrated thin-walled casing and the whole machine is relatively complex, resulting in it being difficult to simulate the constraint boundary of the casing under the condition of the overall machine assembly through simple component modal testing. Therefore, the component modal test not only takes a lot of time, but also the results often have relatively large errors, resulting in low accuracy of the vibration design results of the lobe-integrated thin-walled casing. In addition, the modal test layout under the condition of the overall machine assembly is restricted by space and there cannot be too many measuring points, making it easy to miss the modes that designers are concerned about, resulting in poor test effects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modal test design method under the condition of the overall assembly of a lobe-integrated thin-walled casing, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of modal analysis, provide data support for the anti-high-cycle fatigue design of the lobe-integrated thin-walled casing, and does not require special tooling fixtures. Measurements can be carried out along with the overall machine test, which not only improves the test efficiency but also saves the test labor and material costs.

The striking direction is the radial direction of the casing to obtain the modal information of the casing through the sensors on the measurement points.
[0012] Furthermore, before the modal calculation process, determine in advance the structural components that excite the lobe-ring thin-walled casing according to the installation position of the lobe-ring thin-walled casing of the aero-engine; the lobe-ring thin-walled casing is fixedly installed at the outlet of the low-pressure turbine through a connecting piece, and the structural components include low-pressure turbine rotor blades, turbine rear struts, and fuel injection rods;
[0013] Based on the structural component with the largest number in the structural components and the low-pressure rotor fundamental frequency corresponding to the highest steady-state physical speed, analyze and obtain the highest calculation frequency of the lobe-ring thin-walled casing Analyze and obtain, where is the number of low-pressure turbine rotor blades, is the number of turbine rear struts, is the number of the fuel injection rod closest to the casing, is the low-pressure rotor fundamental frequency corresponding to the highest steady-state physical speed.
[0014] Furthermore, the equivalent vibration radial displacement of each node in each region , where is the maximum vibration order value of the casing with a vibration frequency less than the highest calculation frequency, is the number of circumferentially symmetric sectors of the casing, is the corresponding node at the th order and the th nodal diameter vibration relative vibration radial displacement.
[0015] Furthermore, the average equivalent vibration radial displacement of the measurement point 。
[0016] Furthermore, the radial displacement coefficient of the measuring point is obtained according to analysis, where is the radial displacement coefficient of the corresponding measuring point.
[0017] Furthermore, the preset coefficient threshold value is taken as 1.

[0019] Furthermore, after the number and position of the excitation points are determined, the excitation points are numbered according to the ascending order of the main mode frequencies. During the test, each excitation point is struck in sequence according to the numbering order, and the striking direction is the radial direction of the casing. At least one round of striking is repeated, and each excitation point is struck at least twice to obtain the modal information of the casing through the sensors on the measuring points.

[0031] According to the relative vibration radial displacement of each node under different orders for each nodal diameter vibration, the equivalent vibration radial displacement of each node in each region is obtained , and the position where the point with the largest equivalent vibration radial displacement in each region is located is taken as the installation position of the measuring point 4 in this region;
[0032] According to the relative vibration radial displacement of each measuring point 4 under different orders for each nodal diameter vibration, and the average equivalent vibration radial displacement corresponding to the measuring point 4 , the radial displacement coefficient of each measuring point 4 is analyzed and obtained , and the modal vibration with the radial displacement coefficients of all measuring points 4 being greater than the preset coefficient threshold is selected as the main mode;
[0033] The point with the largest vibration radial displacement of the lobe-integrated thin-walled casing 1 in each main mode is selected as the excitation point 5. During the test, each excitation point 5 is tapped in turn, and the tapping direction is the radial direction of the casing, so as to obtain the modal information of the casing through the sensor on the measuring point 4.

While improving the efficiency and accuracy of modal analysis and providing data support for the high cycle fatigue resistance design of the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1, no special tooling fixture is required, and the measurement can be carried out along with the whole machine test, which not only improves the test efficiency but also saves the test labor and material costs.
[0035] Embodiment 2

[0038] Before performing the modal calculation based on the finite element, it is first necessary to determine the highest calculation frequency. For example, in this embodiment, the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1 is located at the outlet of the low-pressure turbine, and potential excitation factors such as low-pressure turbine rotor blades, turbine rear struts, and fuel injection rods should be considered at this time.
[0039] Step 2: Analyze and obtain the highest calculation frequency of the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1 according to the structural component with the largest number in the structural components and the low-pressure rotor fundamental frequency corresponding to the highest steady-state physical rotation speed;
[0040] In this embodiment, since structural components such as low-pressure turbine rotor blades, turbine rear struts, and fuel injection rods are potential excitation factors for the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1, the highest calculation frequency is determined , where is the number of low-pressure turbine rotor blades, is the number of turbine rear struts, is the number of the fuel injection rod closest to the casing, is the fundamental frequency of the low-pressure rotor corresponding to the highest steady-state physical speed (unit: Hz).

[0042] The lobed integral thin-walled casing 1 generally has ( = 2, 3, 4...) rows of mounting holes 2 for the installation of pins. Therefore, in this embodiment, take lines passing through the centers of each row of mounting holes 2 and parallel to the air inlet edge of the casing as the demarcation lines, and divide the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1 axially into regions, and one measuring point 4 needs to be arranged in each region, that is, the total number of measuring points 4 is . The schematic diagram of the structural region division of the casing with two rows of pin holes is shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 The structure shown is Figure 3 a single sector structure (01# lobe) in the rectangular frame 6, and the viewing angle is along the Figure 3 negative direction of the Z-axis. It should be noted that Region 1 301, Region 2 302, and Region 3 303 include the integral ring structure, Figure 4 only the parts of Region 1 301, Region 2 302, and Region 3 303 on one sector are shown.
[0043] Step 4: Perform modal calculation on one sector of the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1 based on the finite element analysis method to obtain the total number of orders and the total number of nodal diameters of the lobed integral thin-walled casing 1, as well as the relative vibration radial displacement of each nodal diameter vibration of each node in the sector at different orders; where the highest frequency in the modal calculation process is greater than or equal to the highest calculation frequency;

[0046] Step Six: According to the relative vibration radial displacement of each nodal diameter vibration at different orders of each measuring point 4, and the average equivalent vibration radial displacement of the corresponding measuring point 4 , analyze and obtain the radial displacement coefficients of each measuring point 4 , select the radial displacement coefficients of all measuring points 4 whose values are all greater than the preset coefficient threshold as the main modal vibrations;
[0047] The modes of the thin-walled casing are relatively dense, and the radial vibration modes among them are the most harmful. Therefore, as long as the modal test can measure the modes mainly composed of radial vibration. In this embodiment, the modes mainly composed of radial vibration are defined as the main modes. The determination method of the main modes is as follows: On the basis of the determined position of the measuring point 4, define the radial displacement coefficient , where is the radial displacement coefficient of the corresponding measuring point 4, is the average equivalent vibration radial displacement of the measuring point 4, , select the radial displacement coefficients of all measuring points 4 whose values are all greater than 1 as the main modal vibrations.
[0048] Step Seven: Select the points with the largest vibration radial displacement in each main mode of the thin-walled casing 1 with a lobed integral ring as the excitation points 5, number the excitation points 5 in ascending order of the main mode frequencies, and when conducting the test, strike each excitation point 5 in sequence according to the numbering. The striking direction is the radial direction of the casing, repeat the striking at least once, and strike each excitation point 5 at least twice to obtain the modal information of the casing through the sensors on the measuring point 4;
[0049] In this embodiment, the number of excitation points 5 is determined according to , where is the number of excitation points 5, is the number of main modes determined in Step Six.
[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
