摘要: 在飞机装配中,广泛采用安装临时紧固件的方式,对构件进行预连接,以固定构件之间的相对位置,并起到消除构件接触面间的间隙、增强结构稳定性等作用。针对飞机复合材料壁板装配,为了提升预连接效率与装配质量,结合有限元法与遗传算法,提出了一种考虑复合材料损伤的临时紧固件数量与布局优化方法。该优化方法以提高复合材料壁板与骨架间的间隙消除率、减少临时紧固件安装数量为优化目标,以临时紧固件的安装数量、布局与预紧力为控制变量,并根据三维Hashin准则预测复合材料壁板损伤状态,以复合材料壁板不发生损伤为约束条件。并通过复合材料壁板预连接实验,证明该优化方法能在避免复合材料壁板损伤的前提下,用较少数量的临时紧固件实现较高的间隙消除率。Abstract: In aircraft assembly, it is widely used to install temporary fasteners to fix the relative position between components, which is called pre-joining. This pre-joining operation can also eliminate the gap between the contact surfaces and enhance the stability of the structure. Aiming at aircraft composite panel assembly, in order to improve the pre-joining efficiency and assembly quality, an optimization method of the number and layout of temporary fasteners considering composite material damage was proposed. Combining the finite element method and genetic algorithm, this optimization method aimed at improving the elimination rate of gap between panels and frames, and reducing the number of temporary fasteners installed. In this optimization method, the number, layout and load of temporary fasteners were taken as control variables, and the damage state of the composite panel predicted by 3D Hashin criterion was taken as constraint conditions. An experimental model of pre-joining of compo-site panel was taken as an example to demonstrate that this optimization technology can avoid the damage of composite panels, and achieve a higher gap elimination rate with less temporary fasteners.
