TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aircraft flutter wind tunnel test, and relates to a flutter response prediction method for a multi-target point of a tail wing of an aircraft based on elastic similarity conversion. BACKGROUND
[0002] When a twin-tail wing edge wing layout aircraft is in a high angle of attack maneuver flight, a tail flutter problem occurs, which can cause fatigue damage of the tail wing structure, shorten the service life of the tail wing and increase the maintenance cost. The flutter dynamic response and dynamic load problem of the tail wing need to be analyzed and designed in detail in the aircraft model design stage. In the aircraft model design stage, the flutter wind tunnel test technology based on a "rigid / elastic combination" model is the main technical means to determine the flutter dynamic response and dynamic load of the tail wing. The so-called "rigid / elastic combination" flutter wind tunnel test model is that the fuselage, wings and one side tail wing of the test model device in the full aircraft state adopt a geometrically similar rigid model. While ensuring that the aerodynamic shape and flow field characteristics of the fuselage, wings and single side tail wing are similar, the flutter pulsating pressure is measured by arranging pulsating pressure sensors on the rigid tail wing. While ensuring that the structural dynamics characteristics of the tail wing are similar, the flutter acceleration response is measured by arranging acceleration sensors on the elastic tail wing. Finally, the flutter pulsating pressure and flutter acceleration response are simultaneously measured in the full aircraft state. Then, the flutter pulsating pressure and acceleration response results of the actual aircraft scale are obtained by converting the wind tunnel test results according to the similarity conversion relationship between the wind tunnel test state and the flight state of the actual aircraft scale, which are used to guide the tail wing stiffness design, so that the natural frequency avoids the dominant excitation frequency of the out-of-body vortex as much as possible, thereby reducing the flutter response and improving the fatigue resistance of the structure.
[0003] However, the elastic tail wing of the traditional "rigid / elastic combination" flutter wind tunnel test model is uniquely determined according to the scaling similarity relationship between the wind tunnel test state and the target flight state (scale , altitude and Mach number ). If the test state or the target flight state changes, the test data cannot be directly extrapolated to any target design point through similarity conversion. Since the actual flight speed of a fighter aircraft far exceeds the flutter starting speed boundary, and there are a large number of flutter dynamic strength design points in the flight envelope that need to be checked, the flutter wind tunnel test based on a single "rigid / elastic combination" model device cannot meet the multi-target point flutter dynamic response and dynamic strength design requirements. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a flutter response prediction method for a multi-target point of a tail wing of an aircraft, so as to realize the flutter dynamic response generalization from a single wind tunnel test state data to multiple target flight states, and improve the utilization efficiency of the flutter wind tunnel test data of the aircraft. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the application provides an aircraft tail multi-target point buffeting response prediction method based on elastic similarity conversion. For input of multiple non-reference actual aircraft scale target flight states, i.e. flight states not conforming to direct similarity conversion, a new similarity relationship is determined from a structural dynamics equation and an elastic similarity principle, and an elastic similarity conversion model is constructed. In combination with the actual wind tunnel test measured fluctuating pressure and acceleration response of the "rigid / elastic combined" model, the acceleration response of the elastic similarity conversion model under "equivalent wind tunnel test" is generated, and according to the new similarity relationship satisfied by the elastic similarity conversion model, the buffeting response measured under "equivalent wind tunnel test" is converted to multiple non-reference actual aircraft scale target flight states. The application obtains the buffeting response data of the "equivalent wind tunnel test" of the elastic similarity conversion model through the buffeting wind tunnel test data of a single state, and realizes the aircraft tail multi-target point buffeting response prediction.

With the aerodynamic shape of the actual aircraft structure remaining unchanged, the generalized pulsating pressure load vector before and after the elastic similarity transformation... The damping remains unchanged; it is assumed that the damping of the elastic similarity transformation model is consistent with that of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model. Then, the generalized mass matrix based on the elastic similarity transformation model Generalized damping matrix Generalized stiffness matrix and generalized pulsating pressure load vector The response motion equations of the elastic similarity transformation model are as follows:

[0065] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and technical solutions.
[0066] To verify the effectiveness of the invented multi-target point flutter response prediction method for aircraft tail fins based on elastic similarity transformation, this study focuses on... Figure 2 To address the tail flapping vibration problem of the fighter jet shown, a "rigid / missile combined" flapping wind tunnel test model device 1 was designed and tested. The flapping acceleration response at multiple target design points was predicted. The specific steps are as follows:
[0067] Step 1: Design of a "rigid / elastic combination" buffeting wind tunnel test model;
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the rigid fuselage 11 and rigid wing 12 of the "rigid / elastic combination" buffeting wind tunnel test model are made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy to ensure geometric and flow field similarity. The tail component is a "rigid / elastic combination" design. The rigid tail wing 13 on the left is designed as a rigid structure, mainly used to measure the pulsating pressure on the surface of the tail component when buffeting occurs, and then used for dynamic aerodynamic load analysis. The elastic tail wing 14 on the right is a scaled-down elastic structure designed to obtain the dynamic response of the tail component under buffeting excitation.
[0069] Figure 3 In the middle, the rigid tail fin 13 is made of 30CrMnSiA high-strength steel and consists of two parts: the fin structure and the cover plate. Sixteen pairs (32 in total) of pressure measuring holes are symmetrically arranged along four chords on both sides of the fin, and pulsating pressure sensors 15 are installed at the corresponding positions to measure the pulsating pressure distribution on the surface of the tail fin component.
[0070] Figure 5 In this design, the flexible tail fin 14 is manufactured using a composite structure of a metal core plate 142 and a woven foam 143. The metal core plate 142 is made of 2mm thick 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and serves as the main load-bearing structure, providing the overall rigidity required for the flexible tail fin 14. The woven foam 143 is made of PMI-70 and is applied to the surface of the metal core plate 142 for flow straightening and shaping, ensuring that the flexible tail fin 14 has good aerodynamic geometric similarity to the actual tail fin structure in terms of shape.
[0071] H=8km and Ma=0.85 were selected as the target flight state points for the baseline design of the elastic tail fin 14, and the wind tunnel test wind speed V was used. m =40m / s, the three basic scales of the elastic tail fin 14 are as follows:
[0072] (19)
[0073] (20)
[0074] (twenty one)
[0075] Based on the three basic scales, the mass scale and frequency scale can be derived from equations (5) and (7):
[0076] (twenty two)
[0077] (twenty three)
[0078] Step 2: Buffeting wind tunnel test of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model;
[0079] After completing the design and fabrication of the "rigid / elastic combination" buffeting wind tunnel test model, buffeting wind tunnel tests were conducted on the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model. The wind tunnel test section dimensions were 4m × 3m × 8m. The incoming flow velocity for the buffeting wind tunnel test was set according to the scaled-down version of elastic structure dynamics. =50m / s, to investigate the buffeting characteristics under high angle-of-attack flight conditions, the buffeting wind tunnel test started at an angle of attack of 20°, with a test condition set every 3°. Buffeting pulsation pressure data were recorded as follows: Figure 6 The data shown are the vibration acceleration response data. Figure 7 As shown.

[0081]
[0082] Step 3: Construct a flexible similarity transformation model;
[0083] Establish a finite element model of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model, such as Figure 8 As shown, modal analysis was performed on it. The modal frequency structure is shown in Table 2.
[0084] Table 2. Modal Frequency Table of Elastic Tail Fender (Baseline Flutter Wind Tunnel Test Model)
[0085]
[0086] based on Figure 8The finite element model shown outputs the mass normalized modal matrix, generalized mass matrix and generalized stiffness matrix, and together with the pulsating pressure of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model, constructs the buffeting acceleration response equation of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model shown in equation (9), and is used for subsequent transient response calculation.

[0090] Based on Table 3 and equations (10) to (12), determine the generalized mass matrix and generalized stiffness matrix of the elastic similarity transformation model, and construct the vibration response motion equation (13) of the elastic similarity transformation model.
[0091] Step 4: Generation of buffeting response from "equivalent wind tunnel test";
[0092] The buffeting pulsation pressure zones measured in the buffeting wind tunnel test of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel model are loaded onto the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model and the elastic similarity transformation model to obtain... and Extract the acceleration response measured in the buffeting wind tunnel test of the benchmark buffeting wind tunnel test model. Based on the selected target flight state, according to the formula , Generate the acceleration response of the elastic similarity transformation model “equivalent wind tunnel test”.
[0093] Step 5: Predict the multi-target point buffeting response of a real aircraft structure;
[0094] Based on the selected target flight state, the pulsating pressure data measured by the rigid tail 13 in the flutter wind tunnel test was converted to the actual aircraft structural scale and applied as input load to the original-size finite element model. Subsequently, transient response was solved using finite element software to obtain the RMS value of the acceleration dynamic response at the vertical tail tip. This result served as the baseline reference data and was designated as the control group. Based on the acceleration response scale of the selected target flight state, the RMS value of the acceleration response directly measured in the flutter wind tunnel test of the baseline flutter wind tunnel test model was... A direct similarity transformation is performed to obtain the corresponding actual aircraft-scale response result, denoted as the uncorrected buffeting acceleration response. A multi-target point response prediction method is used to construct an elastic similarity transformation model, generating the buffeting wind tunnel test acceleration response of this elastic similarity transformation model, and obtaining the RMS value of the acceleration response. The corrected buffet acceleration response is then converted to the actual aircraft structural scale corresponding to the target flight state. Error analysis is performed on the buffet acceleration responses before and after correction with the control group's baseline reference value. The comparison results are shown in Table 4. The relative errors before and after correction are plotted together as a scatter plot. Figure 9 As shown:
[0095] Table 4 Comparison of RMS values of acceleration response in elastic similarity transformation models
[0096]
[0097] PSD analysis of the acceleration time-domain response was performed to verify whether the response results obtained by the multi-target point response prediction method conformed to the expected characteristics in the frequency domain. The dominant frequency error comparison is shown in Table 5 below. The acceleration response PSDs before and after correction under flight condition 1 were plotted together with the control group PSDs. Figure 10 It can be seen that the characteristics of the chattering acceleration response predicted based on the elastic similarity transformation model in the frequency domain are in line with expectations.
