Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft strength analysis technology, specifically to a method and system for screening the most dangerous attitude of a launch device during a fall. Background Technology

[0002] For shipborne launchers, a catapult launch could affect the safety of equipment on and around the ship.

[0003] Drop attitude is a critical parameter in testing. The test should employ the attitude that inflicts the most severe damage on the launch device (i.e., the most dangerous attitude) to fully encompass possible operating conditions. The most dangerous attitude is influenced by factors such as materials, structure, and contents; different launch devices often have different most dangerous attitudes, therefore, the most dangerous attitude needs to be determined for each model. Considering that launch devices are typically large, complex in manufacturing, and expensive, coupled with the long preparation period and destructive nature of drop tests, the actual number of drop tests that can be conducted is limited due to time and economic constraints. If a conservative and comprehensive most dangerous attitude can be identified before testing, unnecessary testing can be reduced, helping to shorten the testing cycle and improve economic efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention aims to propose a method for screening the most dangerous drop attitude of a launch device. This method enables precise, standardized, and procedural screening of the most dangerous attitude, making the screening process more convenient and efficient. It ensures the reliability of subsequent drop verification test designs, while also helping relevant professional designers shorten the design process, reduce unnecessary tests, greatly improve test accuracy, and digitize the design process.

[0063] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a method for screening the most dangerous drop posture of a launching device according to the present invention is characterized by comprising:

[0065] Step S1: Parameterization and spatial determination of fall attitude;

[0066] Step S2: Drop attitude sampling test design;

[0067] Step S3: Finite element modeling, solving, and outputting calculation results;

[0068] Step S4: Screening for the most dangerous pose.

[0069] Specifically: Step S1, the parameterization and spatial determination of the fall posture, refers to describing the fall posture using a parameterized language and determining the range of the fall posture based on geometric features.

[0070] The parameterization employs a virtual ground method. The fixed launching device no longer translates or rotates, while the virtual ground rotates around the launching device's center of gravity, with the direction of gravity pointing from the center of gravity towards the ground. Therefore, changing the drop attitude is achieved by rotating the ground. When the drop height is fixed, the trajectory of the virtual ground always lies on the same sphere, requiring only two parameters—longitude (Log) and latitude (Lat)—to describe the virtual ground (i.e., the drop attitude).

[0071] Step S2, drop posture sampling test design, refers to using test design methods to test drop postures within a parameter range.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the experimental design method employs the QTM (Spherical Quadruple Triangle) sampling method to sample the drop parameter space. An equilateral triangle represents 1 / 8 of the sphere, and each triangle is then divided into four smaller equilateral triangles (4-fold expansion). Each triangle is further subdivided until the desired density is achieved. When expanded j times, 3j sampling points are obtained. (The number of expansions j is determined by considering the sampling density, finite element calculation accuracy, and computational cost; typically j = 3 to 4.)

[0073] Step S3, finite element modeling, solving, and outputting calculation results, refers to performing finite element modeling on the launching device model, submitting explicit dynamic solutions, and outputting drop response results such as acceleration and stress.

[0074] Step S4, the selection of the most dangerous posture, refers to using a multi-criteria decision-making method to select the most dangerous posture from the response output of the sampling point scheme generated by QTM.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multi-criteria decision-making method employs grey relational analysis to select the optimal solution by comparing the correlation between different alternative solutions and the ideal optimal solution. The process is as follows:

[0076] (1) Dimensionless data

[0080]

[0081] (3) Calculate the grey relational coefficient

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, ζ is the resolution coefficient, which is selected between 0 and 1, and is usually taken as 0.5; and These represent the maximum and minimum distances between the ideal optimal solution and the candidate solution at the k-th response, respectively. and These represent the maximum and minimum distances between the ideal optimal solution and the candidate solution across all responses, respectively.

[0084] (3) Calculate the grey relational degree

[0085] The grey relational degree Γ is obtained by averaging the grey relational coefficients. i .

[0086]

[0087] (4) Sorting

[0088] The input schemes are sorted according to their grey relational degree to obtain the optimal value among the input schemes.

That is, those skilled in the art can understand the method for screening the most dangerous drop posture of a launch device as a preferred embodiment of the system for screening the most dangerous drop posture of a launch device.

[0092] Module M2: Samples the fall posture within the attitude parameter space;

[0093] Module M3: Establish a finite element model of the launching device and solve for the dynamic response of all sampled drop attitudes;
