Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal stress detection of aircraft components, and particularly relates to a thermal stress detection device and method for aircraft components. BACKGROUND

[0002] Composite and metal materials are inevitably connected with each other in the structure of an aircraft, and such connection is relatively common in important connection positions. The aircraft is assembled at room temperature, but is operated in different high and low temperature environments. Thermal stress is generated due to the significant difference in thermal performance between the composite and metal materials, and the influence of thermal stress on the static strength and fatigue life of the structure at some key positions of the aircraft cannot be ignored. Therefore, the thermal stress analysis method and test method for the aircraft structure containing a composite and metal hybrid structure are indispensable in the process of aircraft development, and are crucial to ensure the safety of the structure in use or service.

[0003] Since the thermal stress test needs to be implemented in an environmental chamber, the cost of the full-aircraft-level thermal stress test is high and there are many technical difficulties, and therefore, in engineering, the results of low-level tests are used to verify the thermal stress analysis method, and the verified analysis method is used to verify the airworthiness of the full-aircraft-level aircraft. The anisotropy of the composite material also brings inconvenience to the characterization of the thermal performance of the material. The thermal expansion coefficient of the composite material is closely related to the thermal expansion coefficient of the fiber, the arrangement mode, the volume content, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the matrix, the volume content of the matrix, and the interface properties. The anisotropy characteristics of the composite laminate make the thermal performance parameters significantly affected by the layup, and the large number of layup libraries in the structure design brings inconvenience to the determination of the material properties during thermal stress analysis. In engineering, the theoretical empirical formula based on the relationship between the thermal performance parameters and the layup obtained by a certain number of original tests is used to calculate the thermal parameters, and then the structure internal force under thermal load is analyzed by finite element analysis. The mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients of the hybrid structure under high and low temperature environments brings not only local thermal stress, but also global thermal stress. Research shows that the thermal load caused by temperature change has a greater impact on the end bolt load, and the superposition of the thermal load and the mechanical load will exacerbate the uneven distribution of the end bolt load. In addition, the bolt diameter and the bolt hole gap also have a greater impact on the bolt load distribution. Since there are a large number of fasteners in the structure, the differences in the pre-tightening force of the fasteners and the structure gap will affect the bolt load distribution and the force transmission path, and these influences are difficult to reflect in the finite element model, so that the overall analysis results of the large structure are often inaccurate in complex structure regions, especially in the metal-composite hybrid connection region.

[0004] Therefore, thermal stress test of large components is inevitable, on the one hand to obtain accurate thermal stress distribution of structure, on the other hand test data can be used to correct and verify thermal stress analysis method of large components. Thermal stress test of large structure needs to be carried out in a large environmental chamber, a large number of strain and temperature sensors and data acquisition systems are needed, strain gauge is usually used to measure structure strain in traditional mechanics test, strain gauge is a very mature method, and the cost is also low, but its size is large, when involving large area and multi-position monitoring, the actual use process is more complex, the installation time is longer, and the detection channel is more. In addition, thermal stress test also requires that the sensing element and its connecting line have high temperature resistance and high temperature measurement accuracy, and the temperature is also changing in thermal stress test, so dynamic temperature compensation needs to be made for the strain gauge, which increases the difficulty of data measurement and engineering practical application.

[0055] Figure 1 A structural diagram of a hybrid structure is provided for an embodiment of the application, specifically a structural diagram of the hybrid structure under normal temperature conditions. Figure 1 The hybrid structure includes a composite material 1, a metal material 2, and a metal fastener 3, and the composite material 1 and the metal material 2 are fixedly connected through the metal fastener 3. Figure 2 Another structural diagram of a hybrid structure is provided for an embodiment of the application, specifically a structural diagram of the hybrid structure under the condition of excessively low temperature, Figure 3 Another structural diagram of a hybrid structure is provided for an embodiment of the application, specifically a structural diagram of the hybrid structure under the condition of excessively high temperature, referring to Figure 2 And Figure 3 Excessively low temperature or excessively high temperature will cause the hybrid structure to deform. Figure 4 Another structural diagram of a hybrid structure is provided for an embodiment of the application, referring to Figure 4 The hybrid structure composed of the mixed connection of the composite material 1 and the metal material 2 causes the local stress change of the metal material 2 due to the overall thermal effect of the aircraft structure, that is, the overall thermal stress is generated.

[0056] It can be understood that the aircraft is assembled under room temperature conditions, but operates in different high and low temperature environments. Due to the significant difference in thermal performance between the composite material and the metal material, thermal stress is generated, and the thermal stress at some key positions has a non-negligible influence on the static strength and fatigue life of the structure. The local thermal stress of the hybrid structure can be defined as the internal deformation and internal stress of the mixed connection area caused by the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient and the temperature effect. In order to meet the thermal stress test requirements of the large structure of the aircraft, an embodiment of the application provides a thermal stress detection device and method for an aircraft component, specifically as follows:

[0057] The aircraft component of the embodiment of the application includes a plurality of hybrid structures connected by the composite material and the metal material, and the hybrid structure includes a plurality of preset detection sites. Figure 5A structural schematic diagram of a thermal stress detection device for an aircraft component is provided in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 5 The thermal stress detection device 100 comprises a fiber Bragg grating strain sensing network module 110, a temperature compensation module 120, an environmental box 130, and a grating strain demodulator 140.

[0058] Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of a single-direction strain measurement grating unit is provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 A structural schematic diagram of a three-direction strain measurement grating unit is provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figures 6-7 In an embodiment of the present application, the fiber Bragg grating strain sensing network module 110 comprises a plurality of single-direction strain measurement grating units 111 and a plurality of three-direction strain flower grating units 112. The single-direction strain measurement grating unit 111 comprises a single-direction strain measurement grating 1111. The three-direction strain flower grating unit 112 comprises a strain flower 0° direction strain measurement grating 1121, a strain flower 45° direction strain measurement grating 1122, and a strain flower 90° direction strain measurement grating 1123 arranged on the same optical fiber 113.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the single-direction strain measurement grating 1111, the strain flower 0° direction strain measurement grating 1121, the strain flower 45° direction strain measurement grating 1122, and the strain flower 90° direction strain measurement grating 1123 are respectively pasted on each preset detection site to form a test piece.

[0060] It should be noted that by analyzing and evaluating the regions with relatively large stress in the aircraft component under the target thermal load, the key positions to be detected, i.e., the preset detection sites, are determined. Generally, the thermal stress of the hybrid structure formed by the mutual connection of the composite material and the metal material is relatively complex, and a large number of monitoring points are arranged. A small number of monitoring points are arranged in the region without hybrid structure connection or simple structure. The fiber routing arrangement is designed according to the preset detection sites, the grating length and interval are designed, the number of gratings connected in series by a single optical fiber is determined according to the number of monitoring points and the demodulation strategy, and thus the number of channels is determined. The fiber grating array is prepared by the dynamic online grating technology of the drawing tower at one time, and the fiber grating has high-temperature strain and temperature test stability and accuracy through the carbon coating process.

[0061] For example, through finite element analysis, 72 single pieces and 56 flower pieces, i.e., a total of 240 monitoring point positions, are required to be arranged for strain monitoring of a certain large aircraft structure. According to the selection of the monitoring point density and quantity, the minimum spatial resolution of the grating measurement point is 50 mm, the grating length is 50 mm, and 32 channels are used to design the arrangement of the fiber grating sensing network. The corresponding grating array is prepared by the dynamic online grating technology of the drawing tower at one time, and the fiber grating has high-temperature test function through the carbon coating process.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the grating strain demodulator 140 is connected with the optical fiber in the fiber grating strain sensing network module 110; the temperature compensation module 120 comprises a temperature compensation grating, and the temperature compensation grating is located at a position in the fiber grating strain sensing network module 110 which is not affected by strain; the fiber grating strain sensing network module 110, the aircraft component and the temperature compensation module 120 are all located in the environmental box 130.

[0063] It can be understood that the temperature compensation grating is suspended to ensure that there is no interaction force between the temperature compensation grating and the test piece. By increasing a plurality of force-free temperature compensation gratings, when the fiber grating sensor is used as a strain measurement sensor, the effect of the change of the ambient temperature on the center wavelength shift can be offset, so that the purpose of strain measurement is achieved. When the test piece is subjected to a thermal load, the strain measurement grating pasted on the surface of the aircraft component is subjected to the effects of temperature and thermal strain. When the temperature changes by ΔT, the center wavelength shift can be expressed as: wherein Δλ1 is the center wavelength shift of the grating pasted on the aircraft component, λ1 is the initial center wavelength of the grating pasted on the aircraft component, K1 is the strain sensitivity coefficient, K2 is the temperature sensitivity coefficient, ε is the thermal strain of the grating pasted on the aircraft component, and ΔT is the temperature change.

[0064] For the temperature compensation grating, when the temperature changes by ΔT, the center wavelength shift can be expressed as: wherein Δλ2 is the center wavelength shift of the temperature compensation grating, λ2 is the initial center wavelength of the temperature compensation grating, K2 is the temperature sensitivity coefficient, and ΔT is the temperature change.

[0065] Therefore, the thermal strain of the grating pasted on the aircraft component is:

[0066] According to the center wavelength shift, the initial center wavelength and the strain sensitivity coefficient of the grating pasted on the aircraft component and the temperature compensation grating in the force-free temperature state, the measured strain can be determined.

[0067] The embodiment of the present application can meet the demand of the thermal stress test of the large aircraft structure by reasonably designing the optical fiber sensing network, pasting the single direction strain measurement grating unit 111 or the three direction strain flower grating unit 112 at the preset detection position of the aircraft part, controlling the temperature in the environmental box 130 to apply the required temperature load, processing the temperature influence of the grating strain monitoring through the temperature compensation module 120, analyzing the strain of the preset detection position through the grating strain demodulator 140, and monitoring the change of the strain with the temperature in real time, so as to complete the thermal stress test of the test piece according to the required temperature change condition. The optical fiber grating strain sensing network module 110 is simple to install, the temperature compensation grating is located at the position not affected by the strain in the optical fiber grating strain sensing network module 110, and the influence of the temperature and the stress on the thermal stress measurement precision can be avoided as much as possible.

[0068] Figure 8 A structural schematic diagram of a sensitivity calibration module provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 13. Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, Figure 8 The thermal stress detection device of the aircraft part further includes a sensitivity calibration module 150, and the sensitivity calibration module 150 includes a shockproof platform 151, a constant temperature heating table 152, a first displacement platform 153, a second displacement platform 154, a first displacement adjusting knob 155, a second displacement adjusting knob 156, a heat insulation ceramic cabin 157, a sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158, a sensitivity calibration grating 159, and a sensitivity calibration thermocouple 1510. In the embodiment of the present application, the grating strain demodulator 140 is connected with the output ends of the sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158 and the sensitivity calibration thermocouple 1510.

[0069] Continuing to refer to Figure 8The constant temperature heating platform 152, the first displacement platform 153 and the second displacement platform 154 are all located on the anti-vibration platform 151; the first displacement adjustment knob 155 is set on the first displacement platform 153, and the second displacement adjustment knob 156 is set on the second displacement platform 154; the sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158 at both ends of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 is respectively fixed to the first fixed point A of the first displacement platform 153 and the second fixed point B of the second displacement platform 154, and the first fixed point A and the second fixed point B are located at the same horizontal position X; the sensitivity calibration grating 159 is located in the thermal insulation ceramic cabin 157, and is located between the first fixed point A and the second fixed point B; the thermal insulation ceramic cabin 157 is placed on the constant temperature heating platform 152. In this embodiment of the present invention, the collection end of the sensitivity calibration thermocouple 1510 is located in the thermal insulation ceramic cabin 157. The first displacement adjustment knob 155 is used to move the first displacement platform 153, thereby controlling the strain of the sensitivity calibration grating 159, and the second displacement adjustment knob 156 is used to move the second displacement platform 154, thereby controlling the strain of the sensitivity calibration grating 159; the constant temperature heating platform 152 is used to control the temperature of the environment in which the sensitivity calibration grating 159 is located.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, when measuring the strain sensitivity coefficient of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 at a preset temperature, at the preset temperature, the distance D between the first fixed point A and the second fixed point B is first adjusted so that the sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158 is arranged in a straight line. Then, the sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158 is stretched by repeatedly controlling the first displacement platform 153 or the second displacement platform 154 to move the preset distance. The strain and wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 after each movement are recorded, and a first linear linear function of the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 with respect to the strain is fitted. The slope of the first linear linear function is determined as the strain sensitivity coefficient. When measuring the temperature sensitivity coefficient of the sensitivity calibration grating 159, wavelength data of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 at different temperatures when the sensitivity calibration optical fiber 158 is not stretched is selected to fit a second linear linear function of the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 with respect to the temperature. The slope of the second linear linear function is determined as the temperature sensitivity coefficient.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a test of the relationship between the wavelength and strain of a sensitivity calibration grating at various temperatures provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 A schematic diagram of a test of the relationship between the wavelength and temperature of a sensitivity calibration grating provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It can be understood that by controlling the movement of the first displacement platform 153 or the second displacement platform 154, with a preset distance Δd as a step, the strain each time is equal to n·Δd / D, where n is the number of movements. The strain and the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 are recorded each time, and a first linear function of the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 with respect to the strain is fitted, with reference toFigure 9 The slope of the first linear function of the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 with respect to the strain is the strain sensitivity coefficient K1 of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 at the temperature, i.e., λ=K1·ε, where λ is the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159, and ε is the strain. The strain sensitivity coefficient of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 at different temperatures is measured in the embodiment of the present application. The wavelength data of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 when the sensitivity calibration fiber 158 is not stretched at each temperature is selected in the embodiment of the present application, and a second linear function of the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159 with respect to the temperature is fitted, i.e., λ=K2·T, where λ is the wavelength of the sensitivity calibration grating 159, K2 is the temperature sensitivity coefficient of the sensitivity calibration grating 159, and T is the temperature. Figure 10 The slope of the linear function is the temperature sensitivity coefficient of the sensitivity calibration grating 159.

[0072] It can be understood that the strain sensitivity coefficient of the grating usually does not change under the influence of different temperatures, and the average value of the strain sensitivity coefficient of the grating under various working conditions is taken as the strain sensitivity coefficient of the grating.

[0073] The sensitivity calibration grating 159, the grating in the fiber grating strain sensing network module 110, and the temperature compensation grating are of the same shape, size, and material.

[0074] Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The thermal stress detection device 100 of the aircraft component further includes a sticking assembly 160. The sticking assembly 160 includes an auxiliary sticking mold 161 and a sticking glue 162, the auxiliary sticking mold 161 is used to fix the shape and volume of the sticking glue 162, and the sticking glue 162 is used to stick the grating in the fiber grating strain sensing network module 110 to a preset detection position.

[0075] Specifically, in order to make all the gratings have uniform sensitivity after being stuck, the auxiliary sticking mold 161 is used to stick and fix the shape and volume of the sticking glue 162. The sticking glue 162 of the embodiment of the present application has high temperature resistance, which can ensure the stability of the grating position and strain transmission during the entire high temperature test. The gratings are stuck in three different directions based on the sticking method to form a three-direction strain flower grating unit 112.

[0076] For example, the fiber direction is adjusted along the measuring direction, the center of the grating is aligned with the preset detection part, a certain pre-stress is applied to the fiber grating, the two ends of the grating are fixed by using the adhesive 162, the auxiliary bonding mold 161 is pressed around the grating to make the grating located in the center of the long rectangular hole, the auxiliary bonding mold 161 is fixed around the frame by using the adhesive 162, the fixed adhesive 162 needs to be a high-temperature-resistant adhesive, the bonding performance is maintained during the whole test, and no deformation and displacement occurs, the adhesive should be uniformly distributed and thin during the gluing, so that the fiber grating is maximally prevented from being affected by the non-uniformity of the adhesive in the high-temperature and low-temperature environments. After the fixed adhesive 162 is completely solidified, the fixed auxiliary bonding mold 161 is removed, and the grating bonding of one strain monitoring point is completed. For the monitoring points that need to be monitored in three directions, the grating in three directions is sequentially bonded in the same way, and the reference Figure 7 direction is monitored by using the fiber grating in the other two directions.

[0077] Optionally, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the thermal stress detection device 100 further comprises a support fixture. The support fixture comprises a wooden support, and the wooden support is used for supporting the aircraft component.

[0078] It can be understood that the support fixture, such as the wooden support, which is less affected by temperature, is used to support the test piece, so that the test piece can freely expand under temperature stress, and the detailed support position and the profile of the wooden support can be designed according to actual conditions.

The temperature monitoring module of the environmental box 130 is adjusted, and the temperature in the environmental box 130 is increased to the target temperature. After each target temperature is stabilized, the temperature is kept for 15 minutes, strain data is measured and collected, the temperature of the environmental box 130 is then decreased, and the temperature in the environmental box 130 is decreased to the target temperature of the cooling stage. After each target temperature is stabilized, the temperature is kept for 15 minutes, strain data is measured and collected, and the temperature setting maximum overshoot temperature is less than or equal to 5℃.

[0083] It can be understood that the grating strain demodulator 140 has a real-time strain display function, and the upper computer sub-interface can display the grating duration strain curve and update in real time.

[0084] It should be noted that the monitoring and recording of the grating spectrum can be realized by a spectrum analyzer or a wavelength and time division sensing demodulator and other spectrum monitoring instruments. According to the required number of measurement points, the wavelength resolution of the demodulator and the demodulation rate, the number of channels that meet the requirements is designed.

[0085] Compared with the single-point measurement of thermocouples and strain gauges, the thermal stress detection device for aircraft parts provided by the embodiment of the present application has the characteristics of more wiring. The fiber grating can realize dense grating sensors on a single optical fiber through various multiplexing methods, simplify the data acquisition channel, and the fiber grating sensor has the advantages of small size, light weight, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and electromagnetic interference resistance. The grating sensitivity test device of the present application can simultaneously measure the high temperature strain sensitivity coefficient and the temperature sensitivity coefficient of the grating. The grating pasting method of the provided pasting assembly can ensure the stability of the grating position and strain transmission during the entire high temperature test. The present application can be used to monitor the mechanical state of the structure under environmental thermal load, realize the thermal stress test of the composite and metal large hybrid structure, and at the same time, the method can be used under cyclic thermal load, and can be used to evaluate the residual strength and fatigue performance of the structure under cyclic thermal load.
