考虑损伤的推进剂宽应变率本构模型及其应用研究

    A wide strain-rate constitutive model for propellant considering damage effects and its application

    • 针对固体发动机药柱在贮存-点火序贯载荷下响应的一体化仿真计算及推进剂在大变形情况下的损伤演化问题,以端羟基聚丁二烯(HTPB)推进剂为研究对象,开展了定速拉伸破坏及松弛试验,研究了HTPB推进剂率相关力学特性与损伤演化机制。基于广义Maxwell模型与朱-王-唐本构模型,构建了能够一体化表征静态松弛蠕变与动态点火建压的宽应变率非线性黏弹性本构模型,并引入应变、应变率相关损伤因子,定量描述了大变形损伤导致的推进剂软化行为。结果表明,在30%应变范围内,该模型可实现发动机药柱从立贮至点火建压的连续仿真计算,并且能合理描述损伤引起的推进剂软化行为,解决了传统模型无法连续仿真计算贮存与点火工况的问题,为固体发动机全寿命周期结构完整性评估提供了一种连续仿真计算的新方法。

       

      Abstract: To achieve integrated simulation of solid rocket motor grain responses under sequential storage-ignition loading conditions and investigate the damage evolution of propellant materials under large deformation, this study takes HTPB propellant as the research subject. Constant-rate tensile failure tests and stress relaxation experiments were conducted to investigate the rate-dependent mechanical properties and damage evolution mechanisms of HTPB propellant. Based on the generalized Maxwell model and the Zhu-Wang-Tang constitutive model, a nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model was developed to simultaneously characterize long-time-scale relaxation and creep behaviors and short-time-scale ignition pressurization responses. A strain-rate-dependent damage factor was introduced to quantitatively describe the softening behavior of HTPB propellant induced by large-deformation damage. The results demonstrate that, within a strain range of 30%, the proposed model enables continuous simulation of solid rocket motor grain responses from long-term storage to ignition pressurization and reasonably captures the damage-induced softening behavior of HTPB propellant. The proposed model overcomes the limitation of conventional approaches, which cannot continuously simulate storage and ignition conditions, and provides a new continuous simulation method for the structural integrity assessment of solid rocket motors throughout their entire life cycle.
