Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engines, and specifically relates to a method for evaluating the mechanical properties of aero-engine load-bearing frames. Background Technology
[0002] The load-bearing frame is the most critical load-bearing structure of an aero-engine. Its main function is to provide support and constraint for the engine rotor and stators and accessories, and to transfer engine thrust and other loads to the aircraft through the mounting joints. The design of the load-bearing frame is constrained by the rotor support points, mains ducts, cooling air passages, and lubricating oil passages. It is necessary to improve the structural load-bearing capacity and reduce weight within a limited space. Moreover, it is necessary to carefully consider the complex and variable load environment such as rotor rotation, aerodynamic excitation, and temperature field, and to reduce bearing damage and the transmission of harmful vibrations to the aircraft. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the load-bearing frame need to be rigorously tested during the aero-engine development process.
[0003] Currently, the design of newly developed aero-engine load-bearing frame structures typically references existing models, conducting detailed designs based on principles such as strength verification, resonance avoidance, and weight reduction. However, this approach no longer meets the demands of increasingly lightweight, heavy-duty load-bearing frames for high-performance, high-reliability, and long-life engines. To improve the design level of aero-engine load-bearing frames, it is necessary to evaluate whether the load-bearing capacity, thermal deformation resistance, and vibration transmission attenuation of the load-bearing frame meet design requirements during the engine design phase.
[0004] The shortcomings of existing methods for evaluating the mechanical properties of aero-engine load-bearing frames are:
[0005] 1. The mechanical properties of load-bearing frames are usually related to the location of the structure being measured. Existing methods do not specify how the structural location should be selected, which leads to differences in the mechanical property parameters calculated by different overall structural designers, and may result in errors in the assessment of the mechanical properties of load-bearing frames.
[0006] 2. The calculation results of the mechanical properties of different load-bearing frame structural schemes can only be qualitatively compared to obtain advantages and disadvantages. There is a lack of a unified method for evaluating mechanical property parameters, which makes it impossible for the overall structural designer to determine the optimal scheme that balances various indicators among a large number of structural schemes.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to overcome or mitigate at least one of the aforementioned defects in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
