Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a bolt arrangement design method for a nozzle heat-insulating assembly based on topological optimization. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid increase of parameters such as the working pressure and the combustion temperature of an engine combustion chamber, the thermal load borne by a nozzle increases sharply, and the nozzle faces severe cooling challenges. The combined mode of impingement cooling and film cooling is one of the effective methods for protecting the nozzle shell from high-temperature damage. Specifically, the cold gas cavity is provided in a double-layer structure: the first layer is an impingement plate, small holes are arranged on the impingement plate and are perpendicular to the wall surface, and the cold gas first passes through the small holes on the impingement plate to impinge and exchange heat with the wall surface of the heat-insulating layer; then, the cold gas enters the main flow through the inclined holes on the heat-insulating layer to form a film cooling layer. This cooling mode leads to more complex design of the nozzle structure, and the connection mode between the heat-insulating layer and the impingement plate and the flow characteristics of the cold gas cavity directly affect the structural strength and reliability, bringing many challenges to the design.

[0003] At present, the impingement plate is designed as a whole large plate, the heat-insulating layer is designed as a segmented structure, and the heat-insulating layer and the impingement plate are mainly connected by bolts. However, the arrangement form (such as the interval and the position) of the bolts depends on engineering experience to a great extent, and the structural difference (there are circular arc segments and straight segments, and the lengths and shapes of the segments are different) and the load difference (the loads of the segments are quite different, and the loads of various test conditions are different) of different heat-insulating assembly segments cannot be fully considered. This usually leads to redundancy of the number of bolts, and the weight of the structure is difficult to effectively control; at the same time, in the key area that needs to be sealed, the structural deformation may be too large, which seriously affects the sealing reliability and the cooling efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a bolt arrangement design method for a nozzle heat-insulating assembly based on topological optimization, which can minimize the number of bolts by optimizing the force transmission path under the premise of guaranteeing the structural strength, the rigidity, the assembly feasibility, the sealing requirement of key areas of the heat-insulating assembly, and ensure that the bolt load distribution is more uniform, finally improve the sealing reliability and the cooling efficiency of the heat-insulating assembly, and reduce the structural weight.

[0010] According to a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the application, the relative density of the beam element in the designable domain is taken as the optimization design variable, which comprises: A mapping relationship between the design variable and a material attribute is established based on an interpolation model of the material, and the relative density of the beam element is made close to 0 or 1 by controlling a density and stiffness relationship of the beam element; When the relative density of the beam element is close to 1, it indicates that a bolt needs to be arranged at the position; and when the relative density of the beam element is close to 0, it indicates that no bolt needs to be arranged at the position.

[0011] According to a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the application, the optimization constraint condition comprises: A maximum tensile load borne by a single bolt satisfies the following relationship: ≤ , wherein F z is the maximum tensile load, d is a bolt diameter, is a buckling strength limit of the material; A maximum displacement of the thermal insulation layer does not exceed a design allowable value; A structural symmetry constraint condition is applied.

[0012] According to an implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the relative density of the beam unit in the designable domain is topologically optimized with the minimum weighted compliance of the thermal insulation assembly under all test conditions as the optimization target, including: calculating the initial compliance of the thermal insulation assembly under each test condition i and the total tensile load borne by all bolts ; calculating the total tensile load of each test condition i and the total tensile load of the preset reference condition ratio K Fi ; correcting the initial compliance of each test condition i based on the ratio K Fi to obtain the corrected compliance C of each test condition i mi ; determining the compliance weight coefficient of each test condition i ; topologically optimizing the relative density of the beam unit in the designable domain based on the corrected compliance C mi and the compliance weight coefficient with the minimum weighted compliance of the thermal insulation assembly under all test conditions as the optimization target.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides a bolt arrangement design method of a nozzle heat-insulating assembly based on topology optimization. Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment of the present application provides a bolt arrangement design method of a nozzle heat-insulating assembly based on topology optimization.

[0026] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a bolt arrangement design method of a nozzle heat-insulating assembly based on topology optimization. Step S101, a simplified analysis model of the heat-insulating assembly is established, the heat-insulating assembly comprises an impact layer 1, a bulge layer 3 and a gas film layer 4, the bulge layer 3 and the gas film layer 4 are welded to form a heat-insulating layer, a bolt 2 is welded on the bulge layer 3 and used for connecting the impact layer 1 and a hook 5 on the impact layer 1, and the bolt 2 is simplified as a beam unit; Step S102, a bolt 2 initial arrangement of the simplified analysis model is determined by using a multi-working-condition topology optimization method based on weighted compliance response; Step S103, a bolt 2 optimal arrangement is obtained by performing a detail optimization based on assembly constraints on the bolt 2 initial arrangement.

[0027] In specific implementation, referring to Figure 2 The heat-insulating assembly structure mainly comprises three layers: the impact layer 1, the bulge layer 3 and the gas film layer 4, and the model is reasonably simplified according to the structural rigidity and load characteristics of the heat-insulating assembly.

[0028] Further, the step of establishing the simplified analysis model of the heat-insulating assembly comprises: The impact plate is simplified as a constraint position; The heat-insulating layer is simulated by using a shell unit.

[0029] In specific implementation, the impact plate is a whole large plate, the heat-insulating layer is a block structure, the impact plate can be simplified as a constraint position, the connecting bolt 2 is simplified as a beam unit to simulate the connecting and force transmission behavior thereof, and the heat-insulating layer can be simulated by using a shell unit because the size of the heat-insulating layer in the thickness direction is far less than the size in the two in-plane directions.

[0030] In the embodiment, the bulge layer 3 and the gas film layer 4 form a complete heat-insulating layer structure by welding process, and the bolt 2 is welded and fixed at a specific position of the bulge layer 3, which mainly realizes reliable connection between the impact layer 1 and the hook 5 on the impact layer 1. In the model construction process, in order to improve the analysis efficiency on the premise of ensuring the calculation accuracy, the bolt 2 is abstracted and simplified as a beam unit to simulate the stress and force transmission characteristics of the bolt 2 under actual working conditions. An initial model of a certain heat-insulating assembly is shown in Figure 3 and an optimization analysis model is shown in Figure 4.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bolt 2 initial layout of the simplified analysis model is determined by using the multi-working condition topology optimization method based on the weighted flexibility response, including: defining a designable domain, and taking the relative density of the beam element in the designable domain as an optimization design variable; based on the simplified analysis model, performing topology optimization on the relative density of the beam element in the designable domain under the optimization constraint condition, so as to obtain the bolt 2 initial layout, and taking the minimum weighted flexibility of the thermal insulation assembly under all test conditions as an optimization target.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to realize accurate optimization of the bolt 2 layout, the range of the designable domain needs to be first determined, which needs to cover all possible areas of the thermal insulation assembly where the bolt 2 can be arranged, so as to ensure the comprehensiveness of the optimization result. The relative density of the beam element in the designable domain is set as the optimization design variable. In terms of the optimization constraint condition, the number limit of the bolt 2, the structural strength requirement, the installation space limit and the like are mainly considered, so as to ensure the engineering feasibility of the optimization result. Based on the simplified analysis model, the flexibility of the thermal insulation assembly under various test conditions of the nozzle thermal insulation assembly under different working states, such as the high-temperature working condition, the vibration condition, the impact condition and the like, is calculated. The flexibilities under all test conditions are weighted and summed by assigning the corresponding weight coefficients of different conditions, so as to obtain the weighted flexibility, which is taken as the optimization target, that is, the minimization of the weighted flexibility. In the topology optimization process, the optimization algorithm is used to iteratively update the relative density of the beam element in the designable domain, so as to constantly adjust the existence state of each element, until the weighted flexibility reaches the minimum value. At this time, the position corresponding to the beam element with the relative density of 1 in the designable domain constitutes the initial layout of the bolt 2. The initial layout can make the overall stiffness of the thermal insulation assembly optimal under the premise of meeting the requirements of various conditions, and provides a reliable basis for the subsequent detailed design of the bolt 2 layout.

[0033] Further, the definition of the designable domain includes: According to the function and assembly requirement of the thermal insulation assembly, the area between the bulges where the bolt 2 cannot be arranged and the area between the bulges where the bolt 2 must be arranged are defined as the non-designable domain 18, and the remaining area between the bulges is taken as the designable domain.

[0034] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 3For example, taking a certain thermal insulation assembly as an example, a symmetry plane 12 is arranged, and the right side area of the symmetry plane 12 is taken as an example. The first column of bulge areas 11 on the right side starts from the edge, and the bolts 2 must be arranged due to sealing requirements. Such bolts 2 are defined as first bolts 21, and the corresponding area is defined as an undesignable domain 18. The second column of bulge areas 15 and the fourth column of bulge areas 17 cannot be arranged with bolts 2 due to the need to reserve sufficient space for mounting the hooks 5. The corresponding area here is also the undesignable domain 18. For the designable domain, it can be further divided into a first designable domain 19 and a second designable domain 20. For example, the third column of bulge areas 16 needs to be arranged with bolts 2 due to the hook 5 assembly requirement (the position of the hook 5 is determined first). Such bolts 2 are defined as second bolts 22, and the corresponding area is defined as the first designable domain 19. The bolts 2 can also be established between the bulges from the fifth column of bulges to the symmetry plane, and the area is defined as the second designable domain 20. The first designable domain 19 and the second designable domain 20 can both be arranged with bolts 2.

[0035] In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned way of dividing the designable domain and the undesignable domain 18 can effectively exclude the area where the bolts 2 cannot be arranged due to functional limitations or assembly conflicts, ensure that the topology optimization is only performed in the feasible space, and avoid invalid calculation. This domain division method based on actual engineering constraints lays an important foundation for the accuracy and engineering practicability of subsequent topology optimization.

[0036] In one embodiment, the relative density of the beam element in the designable domain is taken as an optimization design variable, which includes: A material-based interpolation model is used to establish a mapping relationship between the design variable and the material attribute (such as Young's modulus and density), and the relative density of the beam element is controlled to approach 0 or 1 by controlling the density and stiffness relationship of the beam element. When the relative density of the beam element approaches 1, it indicates that the bolt 2 needs to be arranged at this position; when the relative density of the beam element approaches 0, it indicates that the bolt 2 does not need to be arranged at this position.

[0037] In one embodiment, the optimization constraint condition includes: The maximum tensile load borne by a single bolt 2 does not exceed the allowable value, and the following relationship holds: ≤ , wherein F z is the maximum tensile load, d is the diameter of the bolt 2, is the buckling strength limit of the material; The maximum displacement of the thermal insulation layer does not exceed the design allowable value; A structural symmetry constraint condition is applied, such as Figure 3 the symmetry plane 12 in the YZ plane.

[0038] Furthermore, the optimization objective is to minimize the weighted compliance of the thermal insulation component under all test conditions, and topology optimization is performed on the relative density of beam elements within the designable domain, including: Based on the initial model, the initial compliance of the thermal insulation component under each test condition i is calculated. and the total tensile load borne by all bolts 2 ; Calculate the total tensile load for each test condition i. Total tensile load compared to a preset reference condition (e.g., design point condition) Ratio K Fi ; Based on the ratio K Fi Initial compliance for each test condition i Make corrections to obtain the corrected compliance C for each test condition i. mi The aim is to balance the contribution of compliance under different load levels; Determine the compliance weighting coefficient for each assessment condition i. Weights can be assigned based on the importance of the working condition or the probability of its occurrence. Based on the modified compliance C mi Compliance weighting coefficient With the goal of minimizing the weighted compliance of the thermal insulation components under all test conditions, topology optimization is performed on the relative density of beam elements within the designable domain to obtain the topology-optimized configuration of the bolt 2 layout, i.e., the relative density distribution cloud map of the beam elements, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The model results for one side of symmetry plane 12 are shown in the figure.

[0039] Furthermore, the corrected compliance C mi The expression is: .

[0040] Furthermore, the expression for the weighted compliance is: , Among them, C w For weighted compliance.

[0041] In one embodiment, the detailed optimization of the initial layout of bolt 2 based on assembly constraints includes: In the initial layout of bolt 2, regions where the relative density of beam elements approaches 1 are identified as candidate points for the location of bolt 2; Determine the assembly constraints, including that the bolts 2 at the hook 5 position must appear in pairs, and that adjacent bolts 2 must be separated by a row of bulges to ensure assembly space; Based on the assembly constraint, the position candidate points of the bolts 2 are re-divided into the designable domain and the non-designable domain 18; The topology optimization is performed on the re-divided designable domain to obtain the optimal layout of the bolts 2 that meet the strength, stiffness and assembly feasibility.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the detail optimization based on the assembly constraint specifically includes the following contents: According to the topology optimization result of step S102, the high-density area is identified as a potential bolt 2 position candidate point; Since the connecting bolts 2 need to be reliably connected with the hooks 5, the bolts 2 at the positions of the hooks 5 need to appear in pairs, and a column of bulges is arranged between the adjacent bolts 2 to ensure the assembly space; Based on the topology optimization result, the designable domain and the non-designable domain 18 are re-defined in combination with the above assembly constraint; The optimization process of step S102 is performed again on the re-defined designable domain to perform the size optimization of the bolts 2, and finally the optimal arrangement scheme of the bolts 2 that meet the requirements of strength, stiffness, assembly feasibility and the like is obtained. The final optimization result is shown in Figure 6 .

[0043] The bolt 2 arrangement optimized in this embodiment makes the load distribution of the bolts 2 more uniform, and avoids stress concentration; meanwhile, the deformation of the sealing area is effectively controlled. As shown in Figure 7 , on the basis of not increasing the number of bolts 2, the deformation of the front-end sealing area 13 is reduced by 48% after optimization, and the deformation of the rear-end sealing area 14 is reduced by 62% after optimization. It can be seen that the risk of cold gas leakage is greatly reduced, and the sealing reliability and cooling efficiency of the nozzle heat insulation assembly are significantly improved.

[0044] The embodiments provided by the present application realize the precise optimization of the bolt 2 layout of the nozzle heat insulation assembly through the multi-stage design process combining topology optimization and assembly constraints. First, the initial layout of the bolts 2 is determined by establishing a simplified analysis model and using a multi-condition topology optimization method with weighted compliance response, to ensure the optimal overall stiffness of the assembly under multiple conditions. Then, the initial layout is optimized in detail based on the assembly constraints such as the paired arrangement of the bolts 2 at the positions of the hooks 5 and the bulges between the adjacent bolts 2, to further adjust the positions and number of the bolts 2. The finally obtained optimal layout of the bolts 2 not only makes the load distribution more uniform and effectively avoids stress concentration, but also significantly reduces the deformation of the sealing area, such as the deformation of the front-end sealing area 13 is reduced by 48% and the deformation of the rear-end sealing area 14 is reduced by 62%. Without increasing the number of bolts 2, the sealing reliability and cooling efficiency of the heat insulation assembly are greatly improved, which provides an efficient and engineering practical solution for the structural design of the nozzle heat insulation system.

[0045] The method also has the following advantages: high calculation efficiency: by reasonably simplifying the modeling of the impact plate, the bolt 2 and the heat insulation layer, the model complexity is significantly reduced, and the topological optimization calculation efficiency is improved; Design is more optimal: a multi-working-condition topological optimization method based on weighted flexibility response is adopted, the relative density of the bolt 2 unit is taken as a design variable, under the premise of strictly meeting the bolt 2 strength (maximum tensile load) and the heat insulation layer stiffness (maximum displacement) constraints, the minimum of the overall weighted flexibility of the heat insulation assembly is realized, which is equivalent to optimizing the force transmission path of the structure, so that the load transmission is more direct and efficient; Consideration: innovatively adopt two-stage optimization strategy, first obtain the optimal force transmission bolt 2 layout sketch through topological optimization, then combine specific assembly constraints for detail optimization, ensure that the design scheme has optimal performance and engineering practicability.

[0046] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
