[0001] The present application belongs to the field of composite material lightning protection, and in particular, relates to a method and device for obtaining the resistance of a lightning protection material with anisotropic electrical conductivity. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the aerospace field, the era of traditional all-metal structural materials has ended. The aerospace field is using a large number of high-strength, low-quality fiber-reinforced composite materials. However, the conductivity of these materials is much lower than that of aluminum. When struck by lightning, the lightning cannot be quickly conducted away, causing thermal damage to the material. Therefore, lightning protection materials (such as metal mesh, three-in-one lightning protection film, etc.) are needed to provide a conductive path to quickly conduct lightning away to ensure flight safety.

[0003] Once this type of lightning protection material is laid, the resistance value of the airborne equipment installed on the surface of the lightning protection material and the resistance value between structures cannot be accurately calculated using traditional resistance calculation methods because the anisotropic conductivity of the material is not taken into account. Therefore, the inspection indicators of the finished product electrical overlap and the overall structural resistance cannot be clearly defined during the model design stage. Summary of the invention

[0021] Step 3.4, according to the n linear functions, take their slopes k1, k2....kn and intercepts b1, b2....bn as the resistivity and initial resistance of the lightning protection material;

[0022] Step 3.5, use an M-order polynomial to fit the function of the resistivity of the lightning protection material changing with the angle, and obtain the resistivity f(α) per unit length of the lightning protection material along the α direction.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1-13 , the present invention provides a method and device for obtaining the resistance of a lightning protection material with anisotropic conductivity, which solves the problem of detecting the allowable resistance values of the finished product electrical lap joint and the overall structure during the model design stage. These allowable resistance values can guide the process and carry out the inspection of the electrical lap joint resistance and the overall machine resistance value of the equipment installed outside the fuselage.

[0049] The method for obtaining the resistance of the lightning protection material with anisotropic conductivity proposed by the present invention includes:

[0050] Determine the coordinates (x, y) of the measurement points on the lightning protection material on the aircraft and the coordinates (X0, Y0) of the reference points;

[0051] According to the coordinates of the measurement points and the reference points, use a preset formula to determine the resistance value between the measurement points and the reference points on the lightning protection material;

[0052] Among them, considering that the edge effect of laying the copper mesh structure will cause the formula to fail to achieve the fitting effect, both the reference point and the measurement point should be selected within the linear region of the lightning protection material; within the linear region, for a fixed α angle direction, the resistance from the measurement point to the reference point and the length are linearly related; the preset formula is Among them, g(α) is the starting resistance of the lightning protection material along the α direction, and f(α) is the resistivity per unit length of the lightning protection material along the α direction.

[0053] The determination methods of g(α) and f(α) are as follows: Step 1 Determine the linear region

[0054] Step 1.1, take a rectangular test piece, the material and structure of the test piece are the same as those of the lightning protection material, such as making a lightning protection conductive adhesive film test piece of 4000mm×940mm with a weight of 73g / m 2 ;

[0055] Step 1.2, measure the curves of the distance and resistance value of the rectangular test piece in the length and width directions. For example, taking a point on the edge as the reference, select 1 point every 100mm from the length and width for testing, and draw the curve of the resistance value changing with the distance;

[0056] Step 1.3, according to the curve, determine the length L1 of the non-linear change region of the resistance in the length direction and the length L2 of the non-linear change region of the resistance in the width direction;

[0057] Step 1.4, according to L1, determine the distance from the two edges of the lightning protection material in the length direction of the on-aircraft linear region, and according to L2, determine the distance from the two edges of the lightning protection material in the width direction of the on-aircraft linear region as L2.

[0058] Step 2 Determine the expression of f(α)

[0059] Step 2.1, determine n angles α in the range from 0° to 180° at a fixed step size, where n is a positive integer.

[0060] Step 2.2, select at least 5 measurement points in each direction of angle α of the lightning protection material, and detect the resistance value from each measurement point to the reference point.

[0061] Step 2.3, using the resistance values measured in Step 2.2, for each angle α, fit the relationship between the resistance value R of the 5 measurement points and the distance ρ from the measurement point to the reference point with a linear function, and obtain n linear functions R = b + k·ρ; where,

[0062] Step 2.4, according to the n linear functions, take their slopes k1, k2....kn and intercepts b1, b2....bn as the resistivity and initial resistance of the lightning protection material.

[0063] Step 2.5, use an M-order polynomial to fit the function of the resistivity of the lightning protection material changing with the angle, and obtain the resistivity f(α) per unit length of the lightning protection material along the α direction.

[0064] M is the order of the polynomial with the smallest fitting error.

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, d m is the coefficient of the m-th order polynomial of the resistivity, and m takes positive integers from 0 to M.

[0067] Step 3 Determine the expression of g(α)

[0068] Step 3.6, use an L-order polynomial to fit the function of the initial resistance of the lightning protection material changing with the angle, and obtain the initial resistance g(α) of the lightning protection material along the α direction.

[0069] L is the order of the polynomial with the smallest fitting error.

[0070]

[0071] In the formula, e l is the coefficient of the l-th order polynomial of the initial resistance, and l takes positive integers from 0 to L.
