      2013, 4(2):175-181.

      Abstract (1411) HTML (0) PDF 3.27 M (824) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The multiple 3D cracks initiated from the multiple fastener holes frequently occur in aircraft structural components. The fatigue crack growth life prediction of the situation is one of the major concerns and the technically tough work in the multiple-site damage assessment. Our paper investigates the methodology of fatigue crack growth prediction for multiple 3D cracks starting from multiple countersunk fastener holes. An efficient numerical method was proposed in which the computer code was made using the parametrical language of the finite element analysis package. The fast finite element modeling and automatic mesh regeneration, together with a fast cumulative damage technique of fatigue crack growth, were conducted to achieve the life-span numerical simulation for multiple 3D crack growth. The net-section yielding was considered as the criterion to terminate the fatigue life prediction. Two scenarios of a pair of initial asymmetric corner cracks initiated from both sides of a countersunk fastener hole were taken as example problems and analyzed throughout their fatigue crack growth lives. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results.

      Abstract:Composite laminate has enjoyed a wide application in aerospace structures, thus the reinforcement of the cutout has always been concerned. Composite laminate with large opening under three different load cases: tension, shear and compress were investigated. The optimization design of different types of reinforcement with different materials was also conducted. The parameters of reinforced structure were optimized to satisfy the objective weight function, and the multi-level optimization method was adopted during the optimization process. The weight characteristics of reinforced structure were also compared and analyzed. The results show that under different load cases, compared with bolt connection reinforcement and co-curing reinforcement, intercalation reinforcement is better with the minimum weight increase.

      Abstract (1355) HTML (0) PDF 2.79 M (1207) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to simulate the transonic and subsonic modes using the scramjet engine performance computational model established by this research group which based on the integral equations, the residual equation is established by critical mass flow method with a independent variable of static pressure at the export of isolator in this paper. This equation which expresses the extent of thermal chock is iterated by Newton-Raphson method to simulate the working condition of the transonic and subsonic modes on which there is a critical cross-section and no thermal chocks, viz. a thermal throat, in the combustor. The results show that the distribution of one-dimension parameters with a thermal throat in the combustor can be simulated with this method. Meanwhile, this method is of high accuracy, fast computing speed and good convergence. It contributes much to the solving of the scramjet engine performance computational model.

      2013, 4(2):211-218.

      Abstract (1135) HTML (0) PDF 3.66 M (1076) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Numerical simulation method of high bypass ratio separate flow exhaust system is adopted and satisfactory result has obtained. Based on the initial exhaust system, the influence of the different outlet area of external and internal bypass, the different length of the outer casing and tail cone on the aerodynamic performance have been investigated. Through analysis and investigation, this paper provides the working foundation to the design of the similar exhaust systems. The results show the existence of an optimal available pressure ratio of external bypass which makes thrust coefficient maximum, but the external bypass will be at under-expanded state when the pressure ratio is adopted. Its design is different from the single channel nozzle. Secondly, there is an optimal outlet area of nozzle which makes thrust coefficient maximum, but the nozzle will be at over-expanded state when the outlet area is adopted. It mainly depends on the pressure distribution of the outer casing and tail cone. Thirdly, the length of outer casing also influences the performance of the exhaust system.

      2013, 4(2):226-231.

      Abstract (2378) HTML (0) PDF 3.75 M (1489) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The correlation-based transition model was originally developed by Langtry and Menter for use with the two-equation k-w SST turbulence model. DES methods have lower eddy viscosity than RANS method in its LES zone outside the boundary layer, this will affect performance of transition model. The behavior of transition model implemented in DES and DDES model was investigated. The numerical test on flat plate show that DDES method can delay the transition, and in DES method, transition was suppressed by the over-reduced eddy viscosity. This indicated that DDES method is more suitable for implementing of transition model than DES method and recalibration of the transition model is required.

      Abstract (1375) HTML (0) PDF 4.10 M (1345) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The gap flow parameters of multi-element airfoil have significant effect on its lift characteristics. The major method to improve the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil is changed the gap flow parameters by changed the airfoil shape, the combinations of gap geometric parameters and active / passive controlled the gap flow. Using wind tunnel experimental method, the authors compared the lift characteristics of a multi-element airfoil under conditions of different flap acoustic excitation modes for the purpose of exploring a new way to improve the effectiveness of high-lift configuration. The experiments were conducted in NF-3 wind tunnel. Acoustic excitations of disturbances are four modes including single point, single row, multi-slice and the M-type combination. The results showed that, within the range of this research, the weak disturbances of the acoustic excitation can indeed change the lift coefficient of multi-element airfoil. And disturbances manner corresponding to the lift coefficient variation of the airfoil is also inconsistent. The lift coefficient of airfoil was increased by M-type combination acoustic excitation when single point acoustic excitation reduced it.This paper confirms that the designers should study the dynamic press characteristics of flow near the flap.

In this paper, it is described dynamically modeling and automatically controlling the motion of invariableness altitude flight. The aerodynamics characteristic of aerial tow target is analyzed, and some typical results in a digital computer simulation are provided. The results show that the aerial tow target system can control flight altitude and achieve invariableness altitude flight.

      Abstract:In this paper, an approximation method is presented for calculating the wing load envelope and using to size the wing box in wing strength primary design phase. It is found that the triangle weight load distribution is better than other distributions in simulating the wing weight. Furthermore, this paper investigates the characters of critical over loading and centralized loads for large civil aircrafts. An approximation method for calculating the wing load envelope of bending moment and shear force in flight is proposed by combining the Schrenk lift distribution and triangle weight distribution.
