Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft structural dynamics modeling and simulation technology, specifically a landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle. Background Technology
[0002] In the design and development of landing gear, dynamic simulation analysis is a key means of evaluating its structural strength, stability, and reliability. Landing gear is usually an oil-gas hybrid structure, characterized by high nonlinearity and multi-physics coupling (mechanical, fluid, and thermal). Traditional calculation methods often use a two-mass model for linear dynamic analysis and differential equations for calculation. The calculation process is complex, lacks intuitiveness, and often fails to fully reflect the energy flow and dynamic interaction mechanism of the system.
[0003] With the development of computer simulation technology, the bond graph principle, as a graphical modeling tool for uniformly describing the energy flow and power exchange of systems (mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical), can clearly express the causal relationships and energy transfer paths between components in the system, and has been successfully applied in fields such as automotive suspension and robotics. However, a search reveals that there is currently no technical solution for applying the bond graph principle to the modeling and simulation of aircraft landing gear buffers, especially lacking modeling strategies and simulation processes for the complex nonlinear characteristics of oil-gas buffers.
[0004] Therefore, it is essential to use the bond graph principle to perform dynamic analysis on the landing gear, create state-space equations, conduct simulation analysis through software, and build a physical model based on the bond graph principle software AMESim for simulation analysis. This allows for comparison of the state-space equations and physical model analysis results, verifying the correctness of the model. Thus, it is necessary to provide a landing gear dynamic modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the problems existing in the background art, thereby providing a dynamic modeling and simulation method for landing gear. This modeling and simulation method can be used to efficiently analyze the dynamic performance of landing gear during landing and taxiing, providing support for structural optimization design and performance evaluation. Specifically, it is a landing gear dynamic modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle, the simulation method comprising the following steps: S1. Construct a landing gear model. Based on the three-dimensional structural diagram of the landing gear, construct a state-space model for its use. S2. Simplify the physical model. Based on the constructed state-space model, and combined with the landing gear's performance parameters, usage status, and dynamic characteristics, the landing gear is simplified and decomposed into a representative four-mass model. S3. Create a bond graph model. Based on the bond graph principle, build a bond graph model in AMESim software. Based on the built bond graph model, convert it into a state space equation. S4. Create a physical model of the state-space equations. Based on the transformed state-space equations, use AMESim software to establish a physical model of the state-space equations. S5. Simulation Solution: Based on the established state-space equation physical model, AMESim software is used for simulation solution. Through parameter setting and simulation analysis, the results are evaluated and analyzed. If the displacement curve completely coincides with the displacement curve of the state-space equation, the result is output and the simulation analysis ends. If the result evaluation analysis shows that the two output curves cannot completely coincide, return to step S2 and readjust and optimize the constructed landing gear model until the result evaluation analysis satisfies that the two output curves completely coincide.
[0007] Furthermore, using the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on bond graph principle described in this invention, the landing gear in step S1 is a strut-type landing gear. The strut-type landing gear includes a strut, an outer cylinder, a buffer structure, an anti-torsion and anti-sway system, a piston rod, and wheels. Two wheels are provided, connected by a connecting shaft. The lower end of the piston rod is connected to the connecting shaft between the two wheels. The anti-torsion and anti-sway system is located between the connecting shaft and the buffer structure in the piston rod. The buffer structure is fitted inside the piston rod, the strut is mounted on the buffer structure, and the outer cylinder is fitted inside the piston rod above the buffer structure. The strut-type landing gear constructs a state-space model using the strut, outer cylinder, buffer structure, anti-torsion and anti-sway system, piston rod, and wheels.
[0008] Furthermore, in the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention, the specific operation method for simplifying and decomposing the landing gear into a representative four-mass model in step S2 is as follows: The mass of the outer cylinder, which consists of the strut, outer cylinder, and body, is simplified to mass block M1. The stiffness of the outer cylinder and the buffer structure is simplified to spring stiffness K1. The damping between the outer cylinder and the buffer structure, and the friction between the piston rod and the outer cylinder, are simplified to damping B1. The mass of the buffer structure oil is simplified to mass block M2. The stiffness of the buffer structure and the piston rod is simplified to spring stiffness K2. The damping between the buffer structure and the piston rod is simplified to damping B2. The mass of the anti-torsion and anti-sway system (connector) is simplified to mass block M3. The stiffness between the anti-torsion and anti-sway system and the outer cylinder and the piston rod is simplified to spring stiffness K3. The damping between the anti-torsion and anti-sway system and the outer cylinder and the piston rod is simplified to damping B3. The mass of the piston rod and the wheel is simplified to mass block M4. The vertical stiffness of the wheel is simplified to spring stiffness K4.
[0009] Furthermore, in the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention, during the creation of the bond graph model in step S3, the method for building the bond graph model based on the bond graph principle is to first define the physical model, and then draw the bond graph model according to the physical model parameter definition. The specific method for defining the physical model is as follows: Let X1 be the displacement of mass block M1, X5 be the velocity of mass block M1, and the spring stiffness K1 and damping B1 between mass blocks M1 and M2 be defined as positive for compression; X2 be the displacement of mass block M2, X6 be the velocity of mass block M2, and the spring stiffness K2 and damping B2 between mass blocks M2 and M3 be defined as positive for compression; X3 be the displacement of mass block M3, X7 be the velocity of mass block M3, and the spring stiffness K3 and damping B3 between mass block M3 and live mass block M4 be defined as positive for compression; X4 be the displacement of mass block M4, X8 be the velocity of mass block M4, and the spring stiffness K4 between mass block M4 and live mass block M4 be defined as positive for compression. The specific method for drawing the bond graph model is as follows: Based on the principles and basic rules of bond graphs, and combined with the definition of physical model parameters, a bond graph model is drawn. The outer cylinder M1, buffer oil M2, connecting part M3, piston rod, and tire M4 are defined as common flow junctions (1 junctions), while the spring stiffnesses K1, K2, K3, K4 and damping B1, B2, B3 are defined as common potential junctions (0 junctions). The compression of the spring stiffnesses K1, K2, K3, K4 and damping B1, B2, B3 is taken as the positive direction, and the velocity direction is drawn to obtain the bond graph model.
[0010] Furthermore, employing the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention, during the creation of the state-space equation physical model in step S4, the landing gear state-space equation is established based on the bond graph to state-space equation and the landing gear bond graph model. The specific method is as follows: The standard form of the state-space equations is: ; Among them, the displacement and velocity of mass blocks M1, M2, M3 and M4 are selected as state variables, the downward direction is defined as positive, multiple X state variables are set, and the displacement X1 of the outer cylinder M1 of the fuselage is obtained according to the state variables.
[0011] Furthermore, the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle according to claim 5 of the present invention is characterized in that: in the process of creating the state-space equation physical model in step S4, a state-space equation simulation model is created according to the established landing gear state-space equation, and the specific operation method is as follows: In AMESim software, a state-space equation simulation model is established. This simulation model consists of an input signal u, a state-space equation, and a signal output terminal. The model parameters are set based on the weights of the selected mass blocks M1, M2, M3, and M4, as well as the values of the spring stiffness K1, K2, K3, and K4 and the damping B1, B2, and B3. The set parameters form a matrix.
[0012] Furthermore, the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention is characterized in that: in the simulation solution process in step S5, according to the established state-space equation physical model, the AMESim software is used for simulation solution. The analysis result focuses on evaluating the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1. In the AMESim software, the input parameters of the output parameter signal output terminal are used to determine the displacement X1. If the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1 is in a decaying stable state under the influence of external loads, the response of the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1 can be adjusted by adjusting the spring stiffness and damping parameters, thereby obtaining the state-space equation simulation result.
[0013] Furthermore, in the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention, the specific operation of creating the physical model and solving the simulation in step S5 is as follows: The model needs to be built based on 10 factors: zero force source, mass block M1, spring damping blocks K1, B1, mass block M2, spring damping blocks K2, B2, mass block M3, spring damping blocks K3, B3, mass block M4, spring K4, and fixed force source. The analysis focuses on evaluating the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1. In AMESim software, the displacement parameters of the output mass block M1 are used to determine the output results. If the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1 is in a decaying stable state under the influence of external loads, the response of the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1 can be adjusted by adjusting the spring and damping parameters, thereby obtaining the state-space equation simulation results.
[0014] Furthermore, in the landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention, during the simulation solution process in step S5, the specific method for evaluating and analyzing the results is to perform a comparative analysis of the model results. The operation method is to plot the displacement X1 of the fuselage outer cylinder M1 and the displacement parameters of the mass block M1 in the state space equation on the same graph. If the two output curves completely overlap, it indicates the correctness of converting the state space equation using the bond graph. If the comparative analysis of the model results shows that the two output curves cannot completely overlap, then return to step S2, and readjust and optimize the landing gear model constructed until the result evaluation analysis satisfies that the two output curves completely overlap.
[0015] The landing gear dynamics modeling and simulation method based on the bond graph principle described in this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: By simplifying the landing gear into a four-mass physical model, establishing the state-space equation of the four-mass physical model using the bond graph principle, establishing the state-space equation in the simulation software, and performing simulation analysis based on parameter settings, the computational efficiency of the model is improved. Furthermore, by establishing the four-mass physical model in AMESim and determining whether its displacement curve completely coincides with the displacement curve of the state-space equation through parameter settings and simulation analysis, the limitations of the prior art in multi-physics coupling modeling are overcome, achieving efficient and accurate simulation of the dynamic behavior of the buffer, improving the efficiency of system design and verification, and can be used to efficiently analyze the dynamic performance of the landing gear during landing and taxiing, providing support for structural optimization design and performance evaluation.
[0016] Therefore, the modeling and simulation method described in this invention simplifies the landing gear into a four-mass physical model, establishes the state-space equations of the four-mass physical model using the bond graph principle, establishes the state-space equations in the simulation software, and performs simulation analysis based on parameter settings. This improves the computational efficiency of the model. Compared with traditional methods for obtaining modal parameters, this method is simpler, more direct, and easier to operate. It can accurately predict the landing gear's response to the ground during takeoff in the early stages of model design and can provide technical support for the stability of the aircraft during motion. It is worthy of widespread application. Attached Figure Description

Landing gear model The physical structure of a strut landing gear is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the main components are a strut 1, an outer cylinder 2, a buffer structure 3, an anti-torsion and anti-sway system 4, a piston rod 5, and wheels 6. There are two wheels 6 connected by a connecting shaft. The lower end of the piston rod 5 is connected to the connecting shaft between the two wheels 6.
