[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment provides a force-thermal coupling verification test method suitable for thruster brackets, which includes the following steps: 1. Establishing a test system The test system consists of: a test piece, a temperature loading / measurement / control system, a force loading / measurement / control system, and a test fixing and clamping boundary; wherein, the test piece includes a flange 1, a connecting angle box 2, a connecting rod 3, an upper connector 4, and a temperature control connecting piece 5.

[0028] 1) Determine the test specimen parameters based on the product design status and verification purpose, and design a test specimen that can represent the product qualification status or directly use the qualification specimen; 2) Determine the test load based on the force and thermal simulation results and the test purpose, including the force and thermal load coupling loading method, and clarify the working condition type, maximum level, graded loading method, load control method, etc.

[0029] 3) Design of test fixtures, including clamping and fixing boundaries, determining clamping interfaces and fixing boundary interfaces, and determining the implementation method of fixing boundaries according to fixing requirements.

[0030] 4) Test load design: Based on the test load, determine the loading interface, loading fixture and loading method, and clarify the loading control method according to the loading accuracy requirements.

[0031] 5) Test temperature load design: Based on the test temperature load requirements, determine the temperature load loading method and heating position, and clarify the measurement points and control methods according to the accuracy requirements.

[0032] 6) Determine the observation area and observations in the test according to the test objectives, and formulate test procedures and safety control measures; 2 Test piece design 1) The test piece is a thruster support qualification piece or a test piece with the same parameters that can represent its qualification status.

[0033] 2) The configuration, structural parameters, material type, molding process, and quality control of the test specimen must be identical to the actual product being evaluated. It must accurately reflect the stiffness, strength, stability, and thermal stability characteristics of the product being evaluated. The interfaces must be identical to those of the actual product.

[0034] 3. Test Load Design 1) The test load should include the working conditions and combinations thereof, including force and temperature. The maximum load level, grading method, loading method, and loading requirements of the working conditions should be clearly defined.

[0035] 2) The mechanical load of the test comes from the force exerted on the support when the thruster is ignited, including the thruster thrust and the thruster vibration load, wherein the vibration load is determined based on the acceleration results measured in the ground ignition test of the thruster.

[0036] 3) The temperature load in the test is derived from the thermal analysis results and is extended by at least 10°C.

[0037] 4) In force-thermal coupling conditions, the starting point of force / thermal load and the corresponding loading / unloading levels of force / thermal load under the same level should be clearly defined; the location of coupling control point, measurement time, load holding time and measurement timing should be clearly defined.

[0038] 4. Coupled Loading Design 1) Temperature Loading: Distributed temperature field loading needs to be implemented based on thermal analysis results. Since environmental chamber loading is not feasible, a heating belt wrapping method is used to apply the temperature load. The specifications of the heating belt are determined based on the required temperature.

[0039] 2) Based on the temperature field distribution and the implementation method of the heating belt, determine the temperature control points. At least one temperature measuring point should be installed on each rod of the thruster support. Additionally, the six connecting rods need to be insulated.

[0040] 3) Force load application: Mechanical loads require combined axial and lateral loading, achieved using specialized multi-directional loading fixtures. The application is carried out according to the multi-directional graded loading table.

[0041] 4) The force load is connected to the thruster support flange via a loading fixture and applied to the thruster support. Axial loads are applied to the flange surface, ensuring the force line of action is parallel to the axis; lateral loads are applied at the thruster's center of mass. The loading fixture is connected to the support flange via bolts.

[0042] 5) When loading, the weight of the loading fixture should be taken into account and deducted from the approved loading table, and the load can be evenly transferred to the three installation points; the center of mass of the fixture is coaxial with the center of mass of the bracket.

[0043] 6) For the thruster support, the heating points are heated simultaneously, and the temperature deviation of each measuring point is controlled within the range of [0, +3]℃.

[0044] 7) Coupled loading method: First, load to the qualification level at room temperature, record strain and displacement, and analyze the flange face skew angle and lateral offset. Then, according to the temperature field requirements, perform graded heating at three temperature gradients. After reaching each temperature gradient, monitor the displacement gauge reading and the temperature of the connecting rod (the connecting rod temperature should be between the joint and temperature control connecting plate temperatures). If there is no change in the displacement gauge reading, maintain the temperature and load for at least 5 minutes before continuing to the next temperature gradient and measuring. Then, unload the temperature load and force load in reverse order, measuring strain and displacement at each stage.

[0045] 5. Design of test fixtures 1) The design of test fixtures must ensure sufficient rigidity and interface accuracy, and must not cause additional deformation of the support test piece during assembly and testing.

[0046] 2) The thruster bracket is fixed to the fixture via a connecting angle box. The connection between the connecting angle box and the fixture is a screw connection using M5 titanium nails (QJ2580-93, 1100MPa), with a tightening torque of 4.5 N·m. After installation, the test piece must meet the following requirements: the parallelism between the flange normal direction and the longitudinal loading direction is less than 0.5 mm, and the parallelism between the X-direction and the transverse loading direction is less than 0.5 mm.

[0047] 6 Test Procedure 1) Install the test piece into the test fixture, and secure the test fixture to the fixed fixture; 2) Install the force load and temperature load loading fixture and control equipment.

[0048] 3) Attach displacement, strain, and temperature measurement sensors to the test specimens and tooling.

[0049] 4) Conduct graded loading of force-thermal coupling according to the test loading requirements, and measure displacement, strain and temperature values ​​in real time at each stage to determine the deformation and temperature state of the test piece after loading, and determine whether an abnormal state occurs that requires pausing, stopping or adjusting the test; 5) Conduct data analysis based on the test data and the on-site phenomena of the test piece to determine its deformation and stability under force-thermal coupling.

[0050] 6) After the test, non-destructive testing and accuracy retesting are carried out to confirm whether there are any new defects in the thruster support after the test and whether the accuracy meets the requirements.

[0051] 7 Test Results and Evaluation 1) Strain, displacement and temperature measurements should be recorded for each load level during the test.

[0052] 2) Based on stress, displacement, and temperature data, determine the stress and deformation state of the product under given temperature and loading process, and determine whether plastic deformation or failure has occurred.

[0053] 3) Based on the displacement measurement results of each loading and unloading process, the axial deviation angle and lateral displacement of the thruster support flange during each loading stage are calculated. The lateral displacement change of the flange axis is calculated by fitting the measured values ​​from three radial displacement measuring points to the deformed flange axis position. The axial deviation angle of the mounting surface is calculated by fitting the deformed flange mounting surface with three longitudinal displacement measurements.

[0054] 4) After the test, the bonding of the product pipe fittings to the flange and the upper joint was carried out by non-destructive testing using the tapping method, and the bonding quality of the bonding between the carbon fiber composite structure and the metal joint was tested.

[0055] After the test, the thruster support needs to be inspected for accuracy. The inspection status, method and equipment should be kept the same as before the test to determine whether there is a significant change in the accuracy of the 490N thruster support before and after the test.

[0056] In this embodiment, the steps for the force-thermal coupling verification test applicable to the thruster support are as follows: 1. Test piece design: The test piece is a thruster support qualification piece or a test piece with the same parameters that can represent its qualification status.

[0057] 2. Test Load Design: Mechanical simulation and thermal analysis were conducted on the product. The mechanical loads needed to cover the force exerted on the support during thruster ignition, including thruster thrust and thruster vibration loads, as well as the thruster response and loads. The temperature loads were derived from the thermal analysis results after launch and on-orbit operation, and were expanded by 10°C based on their evaluation results. Based on the analysis results, the mechanical-thermal coupling load condition design was completed.

[0058] Table 1. Typical loading and unloading conditions under force-thermal coupling.

[0059] After each temperature condition stabilizes, the temperature is maintained for 5 minutes before the next temperature gradient is applied.

[0060] 3. Coupled loading tests need to achieve longitudinal and transverse combined loading of force loads and distributed coupled loading of thermal loads. The two are designed separately, and coupling or decoupling is achieved through working condition design and graded control points.

[0061] 4. Test Data Measurement and Analysis: During the test, record the strain, stress, and temperature under each load level. Determine whether the product undergoes plastic deformation or failure at the given temperature and during loading, whether the thermal stability meets the requirements, whether the accuracy changes before and after the test, and whether new defects are generated.
