[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] This invention discloses a finite element analysis method for simulating the manufacture of rocket engine nozzles using an integrated inner and outer wall molding scheme based on ABAQUS. Figure 1 As shown, please follow these steps:
[0047] Step 1, the ABAQUS simulation preprocessing stage, is implemented according to the following steps:
[0048] Step 1.1, Model sketch drawing: as follows Figure 2 As shown, draw a sketch of the inner wall blank, forming tooling and strong rotating wheel. The angle between the blank and the mold axis is 20°, the angle between the mold hypotenuse and the axis is 10°, and the radius of the strong rotating wheel is 80mm.
[0049] Step 1.2, 3D model creation: Create a 3D part including a blank, two powerful spinning wheels and a mold. The blank thickness is 5mm. Determine the part type. The mold and the two left and right powerful spinning wheels are all 3D discrete rigid bodies. The basic feature is selected as solid, while the blank is a 3D variable shell.
[0050] Step 1.3, Material Property Definition: Create a material in the Material Manager of the Properties module. The material is 304 stainless steel, with a chemical property and a density of 7.93 g / cm³. 3 Melting point is 1400℃; mechanical properties: tensile strength is 1000MPa, yield strength is 205MPa, elongation is 40%;
[0051] Step 1.4, Section Creation: Select the section type for the component blank, homogeneous continuous shell, determine the section integral as "analysis", the thickness integral rule as Simpson, and the shell thickness value as 5mm;
[0052] Step 1.5, Section Assignment: Assign a section to the component blank, select the section-1 created in Step 1.4, select 'From Section' for the thickness, and define the shell offset as the mid-surface;
[0053] Step 1.6, Grid System Construction: (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown, global seeding is performed on four components: billet, mold, and left and right strong rotating wheels. The global approximate size is 2000mm. Seeding is performed on the edges. The meshing type is selected as tetrahedron, and the mesh size is accurate to 1mm. Finally, the meshing is completed.
[0054] Step 1.7, Component Assembly: (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown in the sketch, the blank, mold, and left and right strong spinning wheels are assembled. The upper bottom surface of the mold is in contact with the lower bottom surface of the blank. The axis of the strong spinning wheels is parallel to the side of the mold. The outer edge of the strong spinning wheels is 3mm away from the surface of the mold. The thickness of the blank is 2mm after strong spinning.
[0055] Step 2, the ABAQUS simulation and solution process, is implemented according to the following steps:
[0056] Step 2.1, Add Analysis Unit: Add an analysis unit of type 'Dynamic, Display', analysis unit increment type is automatic, stable increment step estimation is global, maximum time increment step is unlimited, mass scaling target is semi-automatic mass scaling, application area is the entire model, scaling is performed at the beginning of the analysis unit, scaling factor is 1e5, linear volume viscosity parameter is 0.06, and quadratic volume viscosity parameter is 1.2;
[0057] Step 2.2, Field Output Settings: Edit the field output options for the overall assembly model. The field output scope is the entire model, the frequency is a uniform time interval of 100, and the output includes stress, strain, displacement / velocity / acceleration, action / reaction force, contact, volume / thickness / coordinates.
[0058] Step 2.3, Interaction Settings: Add 'Surface-to-Surface Contact (Explicit)' interaction to the outer surface of the mold and the inner surface of the blank, and the outer surfaces of the left and right strong spinning wheels and the outer surface of the blank. Select 'Penalty Contact Mode' as the formula for all mechanical constraints, and the slip formula is finite slip.
[0059] Step 2.4, Add contact conditions: Add the 'Tangential Behavior' contact attribute, select the 'Penalty' friction formula, set the directionality to isotropic, and the friction coefficient to 0.01;
[0060] Step 2.5, add constraints: bind the blank and mold mating surfaces, discretize the surface as 'surface-to-surface', use the calculated default values for positional tolerances, and bind rotational degrees of freedom (if applicable);
[0061] Step 2.6, Adding Boundary Conditions: Add loads to the four components: billet, mold, and left and right powerful spinning wheels. Add a 'velocity / angular velocity' boundary condition to the mold and billet as a whole, with a rotational angular velocity of 1.0 radians / time. Add 'velocity / angular velocity' boundary conditions to the left and right powerful spinning wheels and the billet separately, with a rotational angular velocity of -5.0 radians / time, opposite to the mold's rotation direction. The left and right powerful spinning wheels move downwards along the axial direction at a speed of 0.5. The method for creating local coordinate axes can be seen in Step 1.7. Figure 4 As shown.
[0062] Step 3, the ABAQUS simulation post-processing stage, is implemented according to the following steps: Create a job in the job module, with the job type being full analysis, the run mode being background, the ABAQUS / Explicit precision being 'both - only constraints', and the node variable output precision being full. Submit the job, and the results will be displayed in the visualization module. Plot a contour plot on the deformation graph, with the animation option being time history, to obtain the following... Figure 5 The results shown also include the following steps:
[0063] Step 3.1, Multi-field Coupling Analysis: Simultaneously analyze the stress field, strain field, and temperature field;
[0064] Step 3.2, Parameter sensitivity analysis: Evaluate the degree of influence of each process parameter on molding quality. The parameter sensitivity analysis adopts the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method to quantify the influence weight of each parameter on molding quality.
[0065] Step 3.3, Optimize parameter output: Output the optimal combination of process parameters.
[0066] During the simulated processing, such as Figure 5 As shown, the initial and final states of the process are as follows: Figure 6 , 7 As shown in the diagram. The visualization module displays a cloud map showing the completed processing state, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, Mises stress is used to measure the strength of a material under three-dimensional stress. It can effectively predict the yield behavior of materials and is an important indicator for evaluating the plastic deformation and strength of materials; for example... Figure 8 As shown, the Max. In-Plane Principal stress display shows the distribution of the maximum principal stress in the plane, which can intuitively reflect the stress situation of the material in the plane and is of great significance for evaluating the tensile and compressive properties of the material; for example Figure 9 As shown, Tresca stress, based on the maximum shear stress theory, is suitable for evaluating the yield behavior of materials under low-speed and low-temperature conditions, and can intuitively reflect the distribution of the maximum shear stress in the material; such as Figure 10 As shown, the Pressure display shows the distribution of pressure, which can intuitively reflect the stress situation of the material under pressure, and is of great significance for evaluating the compressive strength of the material.
[0067] Analysis of the stress cloud diagrams from the finite element simulation results reveals that the maximum values of Mises stress, Max. In-Plane Principal stress, Tresca stress, and Pressure stress at various locations within the model do not exceed the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel, which is 1000 MPa. This indicates that under the applied load conditions, all parts of the model remain within the material's elastic range, without plastic deformation or failure. Therefore, it can be concluded that the finite element simulation meets the allowable stress standard, and the safety and reliability of the model during design and manufacturing have been effectively verified.
