备注

完善液体火箭发动机燃气摇摆装置中增强S型波纹管组件的疲劳寿命评估方法,提高其疲劳寿命预测精度,是发展可重复使用液体火箭发动机的重要课题之一。针对多层增强S型波纹管,为了计算其液压成形后的实际寿命数据,了解成形工艺对其疲劳寿命的影响,提出一种充分考虑成形制备过程对结构不同区域几何构型和材料力学性能造成差异化影响后的波纹管疲劳寿命分析方法。该方法基于成形仿真和材料拉伸试验结果,构建实际波纹管有限元模型并进行三维仿真分析,得到其在高内压和不同摆动工况下结构危险点的循环载荷信息,并根据波纹管结构的低周疲劳失效特点采用子午向应力应变数据,以及经过平均应力应变修正的Manson-Coffin(M-C)公式对波纹管的循环寿命进行估算和对比分析。结果表明:波纹管疲劳寿命薄弱点位置和大小均与循环摆角有关; 在预测计算中考虑液压成形作用影响更接近实际场景,所得结构疲劳寿命大小和所在区域均与理论模型值存在差异,在结构设计、优化和健康监测中不应忽视其影响。
It is one of important issues in the development of reusable liquid rocket engine that refining the fatigue life assessment methods for reinforced S-shaped bellows in the gas swing system of liquid rocket engines and enhancing the prediction accuracy of its fatigue life. In order to acquire the actual life data after hydroforming and assess the impact of the forming process, a comprehensive fatigue life analysis method is proposed for multilayer reinforced S-shaped bellows. This method accounts for the disparate effects of the forming and preparation procedures on the geometrical configurations and mechanical properties of different structural regions. Based on the forming simulations and tensile test results, a finite element model of the actual bellows has been developed for three-dimensional simulation analysis to obtain the cyclic load information at the structural danger points under various high internal pressure and different oscillating operating conditions. In addition, based on the low cycle fatigue characteristics of bellows, the cycle life of bellows is estimated and compared by using the meridional stress-strain data and the Manson-Coffin(M-C)formula corrected by the average stress and strain. The results indicate that the location and size of the weak point of the bellows fatigue life are related to the cyclic swing angle. The fatigue predictive analyses considering hydroforming effects are more consistent with actual conditions, and show deviations from theoretical model predictions, highlighting the importance of considering these differences in structural design, optimization and health monitoring.
