Description

Technical Field

[0001] This solution relates to the field of solid rocket motor design optimization, specifically to a design method for the tension regime of propellant winding molding of a solid rocket motor composite shell. Background Technology

[0002] Composite material winding technology is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding industries. This technology can manufacture lightweight, high-strength structural components, greatly improving energy efficiency and structural performance. In the aerospace field, composite materials are widely used in modern cutting-edge equipment, such as solid rockets. The composite material wound shell, as a key component of solid rocket engines, serves as both the propellant tank and the combustion site, and its mechanical properties directly determine the performance of the solid rocket engine.

[0003] Existing solid rocket motor manufacturing technologies involve separate steps for propellant loading and shell winding. Free loading introduces gaps, reducing the propellant loading coefficient; while wall-mounted casting is prone to stress, leading to interface debonding. Integrated winding molding, with fibers directly wound onto the outer surface of the solid propellant charge, ensures seamless contact between the combustion chamber shell, insulation layer, and propellant, achieving zero-gap loading. This improves the propellant loading coefficient while reducing the risk of interface debonding.

[0004] However, existing technologies have several limitations that make it difficult to design the fiber winding tension regime during the drug-loaded winding process. These limitations mainly include three aspects: First, using the drug cartridge as a mandrel, due to its unique mechanical properties, the inner fibers experience stress relaxation and even wrinkling during winding, resulting in an inner fiber structure that deviates significantly from the predicted results. Second, the drug cartridge is prone to deformation and failure under the influence of the fibers during winding. Third, the composite material undergoes complex physicochemical changes during curing, generating residual stress that affects the shell's pressure-bearing performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this solution is to provide a method for designing the tension regime of propellant winding in the composite shell of a solid rocket motor, in order to solve the problem of designing the fiber winding tension regime in the existing propellant winding process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this solution adopts the following technical approach: A method for designing tension regimes for propellant winding molding of composite shells for solid rocket motors, including: Input the winding parameters for the engine composite material housing; Based on the input shell winding parameters, a propellant winding model for engine composite shell is established to describe the stress transfer from the fiber layer to the propellant mandrel and the interlayer stress superposition effect during the winding process. Using the target residual stress as the objective, the shell-loaded winding model is used as a forward calculator. An iterative algorithm is used to solve the initial winding tension values ​​of each layer that satisfy the target residual stress, thereby obtaining the theoretical initial stress regime and converting it into the tension regime of each layer. Simulation calculations are performed based on the obtained tension regime to obtain the residual stress field after the shell is wrapped with the explosive, and to check whether the safety factor of the explosive charge meets the design requirements. If it does, proceed to the next step; if it does not, adjust the target residual stress and iterate the solution of the tension regime again. A calculation model for curing with medicated material was established. The residual stress field after the shell was wrapped with medicated material was simulated and calculated. The thermo-chemical stress generated during the curing process was superimposed to obtain the final manufacturing residual stress field of the shell. Establish a calculation model for the internal pressure strength of the composite material shell, perform simulation calculations based on the final manufacturing residual stress field of the shell, and check whether the internal pressure strength of the shell meets the design requirements; if it does, output the tension regime; otherwise, redesign the tension regime.

[0007] Furthermore, the construction process of the propellant-wrapped model of the engine composite housing is as follows: The winding mandrel is made of isotropic material, and its radial displacement field can be obtained based on the thick-walled cylinder theory. With radial stress field The analytical expression for the circumferential strain can be derived by analyzing the radial and circumferential deformations of the infinitesimal element. Radial strain expression ; For the expression of circumferential strain Differentiation yields the strain compatibility equation; by setting the boundary conditions for the composite fiber-wound shell and considering the core mold as a thick-walled cylindrical structure subjected only to equivalent external pressure, the circumferential stress is obtained. With radial stress Analytical expression; Solve for the inner diameter. The displacement field at the point is determined, and then, under the assumption of small deformation, the differential equations of radial stress and circumferential stress with respect to radial displacement are obtained, thus yielding the utilization coefficient. Radial displacement of the composite fiber winding layer characterized A general solution formula is used to determine the radial and circumferential stresses of the fiber winding layer, and the formula is expressed using multiple material property coefficients. Define the winding tension as the winding radius as The tension per unit bandwidth of the winding layer when winding is complete is defined as the winding radius. The circumferential winding tension component of the composite material winding layer is Based on the circumferential winding tension component The winding radius is obtained as Circumferential stress of the winding layer ; Determine the radius as The winding layer, with its radial back pressure generated by the circumferential winding tension component, introduces equilibrium conditions at the interface, thereby affecting the coefficient. Solve to determine the radial displacement. Then we obtain the radius as the winding radius as The radial and circumferential stresses of the winding layer; With the first Analysis of the fiber winding layer determined that it exists in the middle layer. The remaining circumferential stress and remaining circumferential tension on the layer are then converted into remaining stress.

[0008] Furthermore, the expression for the residual stress is as follows: ; in For the first The circumferential stress of the winding layer, where h is the thickness of a single layer of the winding layer. To simplify the calculation settings, ; For the radial stiffness of the propellant core mold, The outer diameter of the drug cartridge core mold. The outer diameter after winding is complete. External radial pressure, , , , The material property coefficients are as follows: , , , ; in, Poisson's ratio represents the circumferential strain caused by radial stress. Poisson's ratio for radial strain caused by circumferential stress; , , These are the elastic moduli of the fiber winding layer in the circumferential and radial directions, respectively. For the first The radius of the winding layer, where M is the total number of winding layers. Let m be the inner diameter of the m-th winding layer. for Circumferential stress at the location.

[0009] Furthermore, the initial winding tension values ​​of each layer that satisfy the target residual stress are solved in reverse using an iterative algorithm, including: In the initial calculation, the initial prestress of each layer is set to be equal to the target value; No. kIn the second iteration, the residual stress is recursively updated based on the deviation between the previously calculated residual stress and the target value. Initial stress estimate of the layer The updated initial stress estimate Substituting the shell-borne explosive winding model again, the remaining winding stress was calculated. With initial prestress and The difference and error threshold are used to determine convergence. The iteration terminates when the condition is met. This is the desired theoretical initial stress regime, which is then converted into the tension regime of each layer.

[0010] Furthermore, according to The tension system of each layer is obtained through conversion. ;in The thickness of a single layer of fiber winding is given. For the first Layer fiber winding angle, For the first N Layer process tension.

[0011] Furthermore, a refined model of single-fiber layer winding was constructed using the tensile profile method, and the winding and forming process of the propellant mid-section fiber with propellant grain structure was simulated. Construct a numerical simulation boundary condition and constraint system for the circumferential and longitudinal winding process; convert it into equivalent circumferential stress or radial pressure load according to the step tension regime; apply these loads step by step in the finite element simulation model to simulate the layer-by-layer accumulation and distribution of stress during the winding process; The equivalent temperature field distribution of each fiber layer is determined by layer-by-layer inversion using a trial-and-error method, so that the combined stress field formed by the temperature field and the winding tension has an equivalent mechanical response. Run a simulation of the winding process to obtain the stress state after all winding layers have been applied and reached equilibrium; output the residual stress field of the shell after the drug is wound. The stress field of the propellant core mold is extracted from the residual stress field after the propellant is wrapped in the shell. The safety factor is calculated based on the yield strength or allowable strain criterion of the propellant material. The safety factor is checked to see if it meets the design requirements. If it does, the residual stress field after the propellant is wrapped in the shell is output. If it does not, the target residual stress is adjusted and the tension regime is iteratively solved again.

[0012] Furthermore, using the residual stress field after the shell is wrapped with the drug as the initial stress field, a drug-coated curing calculation model is loaded, and a thermo-mechanical-chemical coupled finite element analysis is performed; temperature field boundary conditions are set, i.e. curing regime; and the residual stress field after the shell is cured with the drug is calculated.

[0013] Furthermore, a calculation model for the internal compressive strength of the composite material shell is established, including: A refined finite element model of the shell, including fiber trajectories, is established, comprising four factors: layup sequence, fiber trajectory, tensile stress field, and curing residual stress field; individual winding layers are sequentially established based on winding process parameters. Calculate the interlayer connection path and, based on the winding direction conversion characteristics, classify the interlayer connection structure into two typical working conditions: longitudinal-circular transition structure and circumferential-longitudinal transition structure; A finite element calculation model for the internal compressive strength of the composite shell was established; the residual stress fields after the shell was wrapped with the drug and after the shell was cured with the drug were added to the initial analysis state in the form of predefined fields, and the results of the internal compressive stress-strain field of the shell were calculated. A design internal pressure load is applied to the inner surface of the shell model, and a static analysis is performed to calculate the total stress field of the shell under the combined action of internal pressure and residual stress. Based on the total stress field, check the internal pressure strength of the shell; if it meets the design requirements, output the tension regime.

[0023] When using a weak stiffness propellant charge as a core mold structure, its mechanical behavior under the combined action of internal and external pressure must be strictly limited to the elastic deformation range; if the elastic limit is exceeded, the propellant charge will yield or become unstable, leading to structural failure and failing to meet the engineering design requirements.

[0024] By coupling geometric equations, linear elastic constitutive relations, and static equilibrium equations, a set of governing equations describing the evolution of the stress field can be established. Specifically, the geometric equations characterize the differential relationship between strain and displacement, the constitutive equations reflect the elastic response characteristics of the material, and the equilibrium equations reveal the mechanical equilibrium conditions between the radial stress gradient and the circumferential stress. Solving this set of equations simultaneously yields the radial stress. With circumferential stress The parsing expression.

[0033] in, Poisson's ratio represents the circumferential strain caused by radial stress. Poisson's ratio for radial strain caused by circumferential stress; Define winding tension The winding radius is The tension per unit bandwidth of the winding layer when winding is complete, in units of ,Right now: ; In the formula: To apply the winding force in the fiber direction / N ; The width of the prepreg fiber for composite materials is 1000 m.

[0034] Define the winding radius as The circumferential winding tension component of the composite material winding layer is : ; In the formula: The fiber winding angle is the angle between the fiber direction and the axial direction, expressed in rad. This value can be used to convert winding tension at different angles into circumferential winding tension.

[0035] Based on the circumferential winding tension component The winding radius is obtained as Circumferential stress of the winding layer : ; In the formula: The thickness of a single layer of the winding is expressed in meters (m).

[0036] radius is The winding layer, from the circumferential winding tension component The resulting radial back pressure for: ; Substituting the equilibrium condition at the boundary, we get: ; ; In the formula: Radial stiffness of the propellant core mold / N·m -1 It is only related to the inner and outer diameters of the propellant core mold and the material parameters; The outer diameter of the propellant core mold is in meters (m).

[0041] The formula Convert to residual stress expression: ; By inversely solving the initial tension gradient with equal residual stress as the optimization objective, the residual stress distribution of each layer after winding can be obtained based on any given initial winding tension, thus laying the foundation for inversely solving the tension regime.

[0042] Step 3: Solve the tension regime using an iterative search method.

[0043] This step takes the target residual stress as the objective. The shell-loaded winding model in step 2 is used as a forward calculator. The initial winding tension values ​​of each layer that meet the target residual stress are solved in reverse through an iterative algorithm. The theoretical initial stress regime is obtained and converted into the tension regime of each layer.

[0044] Based on the principle of numerical iteration, Matlab software is used to perform iterative search calculations of the stress distribution in the winding layer. The calculation process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in Table 2, for ease of calculation, the parameter definitions are as follows: Table 2. Definition of Parameters for Iterative Search Calculation of Stress Distribution in Wrapped Layer

[0045] Step 3-1, Initialization.

[0046] In the initial calculation, the initial prestress of each layer is set to be equal to the target value: ; Substituting the above equation into the theoretical model in step 2, the residual stress of the first iteration is calculated. .

[0047] Step 3-2, iterative correction.

[0050] Step 3-3, convergence judgment.

[0051] When the following conditions are met: ; (in ξ The iteration terminates when a minimum error threshold (e.g., 0.1 MPa) is preset, at which point the remaining winding stress in each layer meets the equal stress design requirements; at this point... This is the desired theoretical initial stress regime, based on... The tension system of each layer is obtained through conversion. ;in The thickness of a single layer of fiber winding is given. For the first Layer fiber winding angle, For the first N Layer process tension.

[0052] Step 4: Perform simulation calculations based on the tension regime obtained in Step 3 to obtain the residual stress field after the shell is wrapped with the explosive, and check whether the safety factor of the explosive charge meets the design requirements; if it does, proceed to Step 5; if it does not, return to Step 3 to adjust the target residual stress and then iterate and solve the tension regime again.

[0053] This step uses high-fidelity finite element simulation to accurately calculate the actual stress field after winding under the tension regime obtained in step 3, and verifies the structural safety of the propellant grain in this state for the first time.

[0054] A composite fiber winding model was established using the rotating profile method. For circumferential fiber structures with standard symmetry characteristics and circumferential tension load conditions, a 1 / 4-inch propellant core mold was used as the simulation object to improve computational efficiency (see model details). Figure 4 Based on the principle of tension superposition, the tension load of each layer of wound fibers is applied stepwise to obtain the residual stress field of each fiber layer after stress redistribution. Figure 5 The stress cloud diagram shown clearly demonstrates the gradient distribution characteristics of the residual stress in the winding layer along the wall thickness.

[0055] Step 4-1: Establish a finite element simulation model of the winding process.

[0056] A refined model of single-fiber layer winding was constructed using the tensile profile method, and the winding process of the propellant mid-section fiber in the propellant grain structure was simulated (see details of the geometric configuration). Figure 6 ).

[0057] For the propellant core mold assembly, motion coupling is established between the core mold and the central axis (Z-axis), and its X and Y degree of freedom is constrained to simulate the fixed state of the fixture. At the same time, the central axis is given rotational motion parameters around the Z-axis to realize the core mold's rotation function. The lateral feed motion of the fiber guiding device in the winding process is simulated by applying a translational velocity along the Z-axis. For the fiber tape assembly, the motion association between the initial end face of the fiber and the center of the propellant core is established by beam element connection. A concentrated load along the fiber axis is applied at the coupling reference point on the fiber end face to characterize the winding tension. At the same time, the Z-direction displacement of the fiber tape side is constrained to prevent spatial deflection and twisting phenomena that may occur during the process.

[0058] Step 4-2, the boundary conditions and constraint system for the numerical simulation of the circumferential and longitudinal winding processes are as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Based on the tension regime output in step 3, it is converted into equivalent circumferential stress or radial pressure load. These loads are applied step by step in the finite element simulation model to simulate the layer-by-layer accumulation and distribution of stress during the winding process.

[0059] Step 4-3: The equivalent temperature field distribution of each fiber layer is determined by layer-by-layer inversion using a trial-and-error algorithm, so that the combined stress field formed by the temperature field and the winding tension has an equivalent mechanical response.

Figure 8 As shown.

[0061] Steps 4-5: Residual stress field after the drug is wrapped around the shell. σ wrapped The stress field of the propellant core mold is extracted, and its safety factor is calculated based on the yield strength or allowable strain criterion of the propellant material. The safety factor is then checked to ensure it meets design requirements. If it does, the residual stress field of the shell after propellant winding is output. σ wrapped Proceed to the next calculation. If the conditions are not met, return to step 3, adjust the target residual stress, and iterate the solution of the tension regime again.

[0062] Step 5: Establish a calculation model for the curing of the drug-coated shell, based on the residual stress field obtained in Step 4 after the shell is wrapped with the drug. σ wrapped Simulation calculations were performed to superimpose the thermo-chemical stresses generated during the curing process, thereby obtaining the final manufacturing residual stress field of the shell.

[0063] Step 5-1, the mathematical expression of the heat conduction equation is: ; in, This refers to the transient change in the internal energy of the material; This is the heat conduction term, describing the heat diffusion process; This is an exothermic term for chemical reactions, and is a nonlinear heat source unique to the curing process; Density of composite material / kg·m -3 This determines the thermal inertia of the material and affects the hysteresis effect of temperature changes; Specific heat capacity / J·(kg·K) -1 ; Thermal conductivity / W·(m·K) -1 The anisotropic properties of the thermal conductivity of materials (such as the thermal conductivity along the fiber direction being significantly higher than that in the perpendicular direction in fiber-reinforced composites) directly determine the heat diffusion rate. Enthalpy of reaction / kJ·mol -1 ; The curing reaction rate is given by T, where T is temperature and t is time. For vector differential operators, This refers to the degree of curing.

[0066] in:

[0067] In the formula: The curing reaction rate constant is ; It is a natural constant. Pre-exponential factor / s -1 , Activation energy / kJ·mol -1 , is the ideal gas constant.

[0068] Step 5-2: Establish a composite material property evolution model.
