Abstract
At present, the casting of large-size motors often adopts pressure cure. This technology can effectively reduce the risk of damage to the structural integrity of the grain in the case-bonded casting solid rocket motor. In this paper, ABAQUS is used to establish a finite element model of star-shaped grains. The whole process of pressure cure was simulated and modeled, and the Python script was redeveloped. The Evol evolutionary algorithm was used in ISIGHT to optimize the load parameters such as pressure value, attenuation coefficient of the relief curve, and the attenuation coefficient of the cooling curve. The effects of different pressure values and different cooling and depressurizing rates on the residual stress and strain were analyzed. The optimization results show that the closer the pressure value is to the theoretical pressure, the more significant the effect of pressure cure. However, the effect of stress and strain reduction in different directions is slightly different. The different cooling and pressure relief rates have a great influence on the process quantity. Pressure cure works best when the pressure attenuation coefficient is equal to 6850, and the temperature attenuation coefficient is equal to 8650. The optimization analysis of pressure curing provides a reference for engineering practice.
Highlights
With the development of solid propellant technology, large thrust and large propellant loading ratio are required for the motor [1]
This paper mainly studies the interaction between the case and the propellant grain
The pressure value is the theoretical pressure required by the pressure cure of the grain
Summary
With the development of solid propellant technology, large thrust and large propellant loading ratio are required for the motor [1]. ISIGHT is a multidisciplinary platform [9] Based on this software, the pressure and temperature load in the process of pressure cure of the motor propellant is analyzed in detail. The pressure and temperature load in the process of pressure cure of the motor propellant is analyzed in detail The combination of this software, and ABAQUS is mostly used for structural optimization [10, 11]. The pressure is reduced from the design pressure value to 0, and the temperature is cooled from the curing temperature to the storage temperature In this process, it is important to emphasize that the material properties of propellants need to be changed from elastic to viscous [8]
