Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials testing technology, and relates to the measurement technology of the mechanical effect of lightning strikes on composite laminates. Specifically, it relates to a multi-dimensional impact force testing system for carbon fiber composite laminates under lightning strikes and an analysis method for the timing of multi-dimensional impact force action. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon fiber composites possess properties such as low density, high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, making them widely used in aerospace, military, and civilian industries. The use of carbon fiber composites in aircraft structures has also increased significantly; for example, the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 use over 50% carbon fiber. The amount of composite materials used has become one of the important indicators for evaluating the advancement of aircraft. High-intensity lightning strikes can cause severe damage to carbon fiber composites, including matrix pyrolysis, fiber breakage, and deep delamination. Therefore, lightning damage to carbon fiber composites and lightning protection have become technical challenges restricting the use of carbon fiber.
[0003] The lightning strike process is a complex transient physical process involving the powerful impact force of lightning current, electromagnetic force, and thermal effects from multiple physical fields. The lightning impact force includes the surface explosion impact force caused by the lightning arc and the acoustic shock wave generated by the expansion of the arc channel. Current research focuses on the temperature rise caused by the lightning thermal effect, as well as the damage from fiber ablation and sublimation, and resin pyrolysis. Furthermore, damage simulation calculations for carbon fiber composites are primarily based on thermoelectric coupling models. These simulations only explain the damage caused by the Joule heating effect of lightning, and cannot adequately explain the delamination damage caused by the multidimensional impact force of electromagnetic force from the lightning current, the surface explosion impact force of the composite material, and the acoustic shock wave from the lightning arc. Therefore, they cannot accurately and completely characterize the damage effect of lightning on composite materials. Summary of the Invention

[0049] See Figure 1 The function of the controllable source impedance and intensity lightning current source 1 is to generate lightning current waves with adjustable source impedance and intensity. It mainly consists of three parts: an adjustable high-voltage DC charging power supply 1-1, an adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2, and a charging voltage monitoring sensor 1-3. The test sample 2 is a plate-shaped sample, which can be a metal plate such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, or a carbon fiber composite laminate with different layup and weave structures. During the test, the test sample is connected to the circuit of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2. The lightning current is injected from the center and flows back from two opposite end faces or four end faces.
[0050] See Figure 1The multi-dimensional lightning impact force measurement unit 3 includes a multi-dimensional lightning impact force sensing and measurement mechanism, a recording device, and an industrial control computer. The multi-dimensional lightning impact force sensing and measurement mechanism is installed on the lower surface of the test sample and mainly consists of a lightning impact force transmission mechanism, an impact force piezoelectric sensor, and a shielding mechanism. In the multi-dimensional lightning impact force sensing and measurement mechanism, the piezoelectric signal output from the impact force piezoelectric sensor is connected to the recording device, which employs an oscilloscope or a data acquisition system. Specifically, it includes a pulse current sensor 31-1 and a lightning current measurement oscilloscope 31-2, a multi-dimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1, and a first impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-21 and a second impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-22.
[0051] See Figure 1 The computer control and data management unit 4 includes a control unit 41 consisting of a charging voltage detection circuit 41-1 and a programmable controller 41-2, and a multi-dimensional lightning impact force data management unit 42 consisting of a computer data analysis and management unit 4-2 consisting of a computer and dedicated software.
[0052] The computer control and data management unit 4 monitors and controls the generation circuit, discharge voltage, and working process of the controllable source impedance and intensity lightning current source 1 through the charging voltage detection circuit 41-1, the programmable controller 41-2, and the computer data analysis and management unit 4-2. The lightning current measurement oscilloscope 31-2 receives and detects the lightning current signal of the controllable source impedance and intensity lightning current source 1 acting on the test object 2 extracted by the pulse current sensor 31-1. The lightning current measurement oscilloscope 31-2 and the multi-dimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1 detect the lightning impact force of the test object 2 in multiple dimensions, and analyze the lightning current and lightning impact force signals to obtain the intrinsic correlation between the multi-dimensional lightning impact force and the lightning current electrical parameters borne by the test object 2.
[0053] See Figure 2 The adjustable high-voltage DC charging power supply 1-1 of the controllable source impedance and intensity lightning current source 1 mainly consists of a voltage regulator T1, a transformer T2, a current-limiting resistor Rc, and a rectifier silicon stack D. The adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 is a circuit composed of a pulse energy storage capacitor C, a high-voltage discharge switch G, a waveform forming inductor L, and a resistor R connected in series. The test sample and its clamping fixture are connected in series in the circuit. The output current amplitude of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 can be controlled by adjusting the charging voltage of the adjustable high-voltage DC charging power supply 1-1.
[0054] To achieve source impedance adjustment in the discharge circuit, the energy storage capacitors in the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 are designed as multiple capacitors C1, C2, and C3 connected to high-voltage switches K11, K12, and K13, allowing C1, C2, and C3 to operate independently or in parallel. Similarly, the tuning inductors L1, L2, and L3, and the tuning resistors R1, R2, and R3 are designed to operate independently or in parallel via selection switches K21, K22, and K23, thus enabling the adjustment of the source impedance of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2. The selection of the series branches of capacitors C1, C2, and C3, as well as the tuning inductors L1, L2, and L3 and the tuning resistors R1, R2, and R3, is automatically adjusted. The test sample is connected in series in the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2, and a pulse current sensor 31-1 is connected to the low voltage output connection bus of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 of the lightning current source 1 with controllable source impedance and intensity.
[0055] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The pulse current sensor 31-1 is connected to the low-voltage output bus of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 of the lightning current source 1 with controllable source impedance and intensity, and the test sample 2 is connected to the test sample 2. The measurement result of the pulse current sensor 31-1 is output to the input terminal of the lightning current measuring oscilloscope 31-2 through the double-shielded coaxial measurement cable; directly below the lightning strike center point, at 45 degrees... 0 Angle, -45 0 Angle and 180 0 The measurement results from the multi-dimensional impact force piezoelectric sensor group S32-11 to S32-14 of the lightning strike are output to the input terminals of the four-channel first impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-21 and the second impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-22 via a double-shielded coaxial measurement cable. The lightning current measurement oscilloscope 31-2 and the four-channel first impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-21 and the second impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-22 then transmit the collected and recorded lightning current and multi-dimensional lightning impact force piezoelectric signals to the industrial control computer.
[0056] See Figure 3 The multidimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1 is installed on the lower surface of the test sample 2. It mainly consists of a lightning impact force transmission mechanism a, impact force piezoelectric sensor groups S32-11 to S32-14, a mounting base plate k, and a shielding mechanism b. The piezoelectric signal output measured by the multidimensional piezoelectric sensor group in the multidimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1 is connected to the first impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-21 and the second impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-22 or a data acquisition system.
[0057] like Figure 4a and Figure 4bAs shown, the multi-dimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1 is installed on the support base plate i. Two parallel sample clamps j are installed on the support base plate i at a certain distance. The sample clamps j are arranged from bottom to top as follows: an insulating support block h, a metal support strip / block f, and a crimping strip / block e. The test sample 2 is fixed and clamped by the metal support strip / block f and the crimping strip / block e of the two sample clamps by fastening bolts. The center of the lower surface of the test sample 2 and a 45° angle at a certain distance from the center are also included. 0 Angle, -45 0 Angle and 180 0 The test sample 2 is equipped with shielded piezoelectric sensors S32-11 to S32-14, which are equipped with stress wave transmission systems, at four angular positions. The horizontal ends of the test sample 2 are connected to the low-voltage output port of the lightning current source 1 with controllable source impedance and intensity through their respective metal support bars / blocks f of the test sample fixture. The high-voltage output terminal of the adjustable source impedance lightning current generating unit 1-2 is injected through a metal rod-shaped high-voltage injection electrode c located above the center of the test sample 2. The distance between the high-voltage injection electrode c and the center point of the upper surface of the test sample 2 can be adjusted. In the case of conductive injection, the injection electrode and the center point of the test sample 2 are in direct electrical contact.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the shielded multidimensional lightning impact force transmission and measurement sensor group 32-1 includes a lightning impact force transmission mechanism a comprising a transmission unit, a support unit, and an absorbing unit. The top surface of the transmission unit is in close contact with the center of the lower surface of the test sample 2 and passes through the shielding mechanism b. The lower surface of the transmission unit is in contact with the upper surface of the support unit, which is made of the same material and of the same size. The lower end of the support unit is fixed to the absorbing unit. A piezoelectric sensor is installed between the lower surface of the transmission unit and the upper surface of the support unit. Two sensor output lines are electrically connected to the upper and lower electrodes of the piezoelectric sensor, respectively. The shock wave generated by lightning acting on the test sample 2 is transmitted through the transmission unit in the lightning impact force transmission mechanism a to form a uniformly distributed stress wave, which squeezes the piezoelectric sensor. A piezoelectric signal is output between the upper and lower electrodes of the piezoelectric sensor and transmitted through the sensor output lines to the first impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-21 and the second impact force measurement oscilloscope 32-22.
[0059] The measurement results from the four wire sensors of the multi-dimensional impact force sensing device for lightning strikes are output to a recording device via a double-shielded coaxial measurement cable. The recording device can be an oscilloscope or a data acquisition system; the recording device includes three oscilloscopes or three data acquisition cards. One set is used to receive the lightning current signal output from the controllable source impedance and intensity lightning current source 1 extracted by the pulse current sensor 31-1. The other two oscilloscopes are used to measure the lightning strike current signal at a distance of 45 degrees directly below the center point of the lightning strike. 0 Angle, -45 0 Angle and 180 0The piezoelectric signals output by the multi-dimensional impact force piezoelectric sensor group S32-11 to S32-14 of the angled lightning strike are recorded by an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope of the recording device transmits the collected and recorded lightning current and piezoelectric signals to the industrial control computer for analysis, processing and output of the lightning current and lightning impact force signals.
[0060] See Figure 5 In the multidimensional impact force of lightning strikes, the temporal relationship of the spatiotemporal superposition of the electromagnetic force of lightning and the explosive impact force on the surface of the test object is obtained by adjusting the source impedance and intensity of the lightning current source, injecting lightning current into the center of the test object without gaps (or conduction), and analyzing the piezoelectric signals measured by the multidimensional piezoelectric sensor group in the multidimensional impact force measurement unit of lightning strikes on the lower surface of the test object.
[0061] The specific process is as follows:
[0062] (1) Electrically connect the lightning current source 1 with controllable source impedance and intensity, the test sample 2, the lightning multi-dimensional impact force measurement unit 3, and the computer control and data management unit 4.
[0063] (2) Metal plate and carbon fiber composite laminate were selected as test specimens 2 respectively, and the lightning current source was injected into the center point of test specimen 2 by direct electrical contact.
[0064] (3) Select a lightning current source 1 with controllable source impedance and intensity, and the output current intensity should have at least 5 current levels.
