备注

重复使用航天运载器是国家战略科技的前沿,研制可重复使用液体火箭发动机成为这一趋势下的迫切需求。火箭返回后发动机是全箭重点检测和维护对象,通过无损检测技术手段在发动机原位状态下获得结构健康状态信息,快速判断产品寿命是否满足再次使用要求,对提高液体火箭发动机重复使用可靠性至关重要。综述了当前应用于航空航天领域的无损检测技术,对其在液体火箭发动机中的适用性进行了评估和分析。结合液体火箭发动机特点和重复使用无损检测应用场景,超声检测、数字图像测量、羽流光谱和快响应动态传感器等技术亟需开展研究,同时应开发自动化、智能化专用检测设备,形成快速使用维护处理与检测系统,实现液体火箭发动机便携高效、缺陷可视化和定量化等检测能力。
Reusable space launch vehicle is the cutting-edge of national strategic science and technology, and the development of reusable liquid rocket engines has become an urgent demand under this trend. After the rocket returns, the engine is a key inspection and maintenance object for the entire rocket. By using non-destructive testing technology to obtain structural health status information in the original state of the engine, which is crucial to quickly determine whether the product life meets the requirements for reuse and improve the reliability of liquid rocket engine reuse. The current non-destructive testing technologies applied in the aerospace field were reviewed, and their applicability in liquid rocket engines was evaluated and analyzed. Based on the characteristics of liquid rocket engines and the application scenarios of reusable non-destructive testing, there is an urgent need for research on technologies such as ultrasonic testing, digital image measurement, plume spectroscopy, and fast response dynamic sensors. At the same time, automated and intelligent specialized testing equipment should be developed to form a rapid use, maintenance, processing, and testing system, achieving portable, efficient, defect visualization, and quantification testing capabilities for liquid rocket engines.
