Annotation: The paper proposes a method for investigating structural strength and determining structural failure loads by computer-aided simulation and nondestructive testing. The methodology is grounded on general ratios of elastoplasticity in increments based on the Lagrangian approach and the principle of virtual translations, taking into account the geometrically nonlinear nature of structural deformation under intense loading. The baseline technique for numerical simulation was the fi nite element method. The methodology for structural strength investigation includes three steps. The fi rst step involves studying the structure in the form of a spatially two-dimensional shell-like model. An analysis of the calculated values of the model’s stress and strain is performed based on the results of the computational experiment, and the critical regions within the structure are determined, where these parameters reach their peak values. The second step yields detailed three-dimensional models of those critical regions within the structure. These models incorporate the geometrical (including the actual thicknesses of the elements) and physical specifi cs of the structure. The results of numerical experiments are applied in an analysis of the refi ned stress and strain values of the three-dimensional models, and the minimum structural failure load is determined. In the third step, strain gauges are installed in the determined critical regions, and the structure’s strength is tested using a nondestructive load. A predicted structural failure load is found by comparing the strain and translation values obtained from the test results with the outputs of computational experiments. The development of the mentioned methodology encompassed an investigation of stress and strain at diff erent internal pressures for an oxidizer tank of a launch vehicle’s fi rst stage, a quantitative estimation of the tank’s strength, and the determination of the structural failure load and regions where a structural failure is likely to start. This paper demonstrates that the results of a tank strength analysis using a criterion of a maximum stress are closest to experimental data.

Key words: strength, fi nite element method, computational experiment, strength testing

Annotation: This paper presents the results of comprehensive research on the operational performance of diaphragm separators utilized in the fuel storage and supply systems for liquid-propellant rocket engines (LPRE). The relevance of this study arises from the need to ensure the reliable separation of gas and liquid duringthe operation of aerospace systems under diff erent conditions. In this context, special attention is given to autonomous bench tests that enable the evaluation of the key performance parameters of diaphragms before integrating them into production models. The paper examines the shape transformation of spherical diaphragms under external loads, presents an analytical calculation of the initial diaphragm inversion radius, and identifi es the critical pressures that cause buckling. The results of this calculation demonstrate a satisfactory correlation with the experimental data obtained during testing. The methodology for qualifi cation tests conducted on fi ve diff erent diaphragm variants is described. Several technological and design measures have been implemented to enhance product quality. They included increasing the number of drawing passes from two to three with intermediate annealing, reducing the thickness of the blanks, and enlarging the non-rolled polar zone. It was found that the primary factor ensuring defect-free diaphragm inversion is the reduced number of roller passings along the diaphragm contour, which prevents the tearing of the surface layer. The test results for diff erent diaphragm variants confi rmed satisfactory performance. An analysis of pressure diff erentials across the diaphragms during inversion confi rmed compliance with the technical specifi cations. The study concluded that the diaphragm design, when it incorporates all corrective measures, ensures defect-free inversion while maintaining the required pressure diff erential and is recommended for further testing as part of standard tank assemblies.

Annotation: Amid acute problems that arise in the field of rocket and space technology, mechanical engineering, and other fields and require a workable engineering solution, the problem of prediction and prevention of the unpredicted collapse of the structural members of the structures subjected to loading is considered. Prediction of the load-carrying capacity and residual life of the space frames during the long-term operation is based on the analysis of the stress and strain state, using readings from the strain and displacement pickups installed in the most loaded zones. In this case the yield strength of the structural material or the fatigue strength of the material may be considered as the criterion of the maximum load. At the same time the loss of stability of the compressed structural members used in the load-carrying thin-walled structures are among the potentially dangerous failure modes. In these cases such failure occurs unexpectedly without any visible signs of change in the initial geometry. Application of the adequate diagnostic techniques and methods of prediction of the maximum loads under compression conditions will make it possible to avoid the structural failures. In this case an assembly under test may be used for other purposes. To perform static strength testing, the rocket and space companies use costly compartments of as-built dimension. Therefore, keeping compartments safe solves an important problem of saving financial costs for hardware production. Nowadays this problem is particularly acute when ground testing the new technology prototypes.

Key words: space frames, load-carrying members, stress and strain state, loss of stability, prediction of the structural failure.

Annotation: One of the tasks of the development tests conducted on a launch pad is verification of its strength properties. The tests are carried out after the launch pad was manufactured and assembled on-site as well as during the whole operating period (if necessary). Load mode was chosen in consideration of cost and possibility of providing the required loading conditions. Two modes of creating the required test load were examined: usage of weights with corresponding mass (load simulators) or special devises (which have smaller mass as compared with load simulators). The descriptions, basic characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of composite and bulk weights and pad loading device are given. This article studies the pad loading device under development. This device enables to conduct static nondestructive tests on the launch pad in order to check its strength after manufacturing and during the whole operating period. The device consists of the load-bearing frame, hydraulic system, locks, control system and measurement system. Advantages of the pad loading device include low materials consumption, low cost in comparison with composite weights (with large load values), provision of the required modes for applying and removing the test load, controlled separate loading of each support of the launch pad, high mobility, short duration of testing, possibility of using launch pads of other rocket complexes with lower or equal test load values for testing. Therefore, the pad loading device enables to achieve the required test load values while having considerably smaller dimensions and mass as compared with composite weights and bigger functional possibilities as compared with bulk weights. Small overall dimensions and operability reduce the number of needed personnel and equipment.

Key words: weight for testing, test load, loading device

Annotation: This paper describes the effective approach for the technology of the rocket airframe development testing, based on the method of numerical modelling, which enables the virtual experimental runs prior to the beginning of the development testing to check the performance of the standard airframes and predict issues of concern. The method is realized based on the computer models developed in the ANSYS Workbench environment. Based on the offered method the complex mechanical system, which attaches the cluster projectiles in the conditions of the temperature exposure and heat cycling, underwent the virtual tests. Computational models, criteria and test procedures necessary for the analysis of the mechanical condition and prediction of the performance of the actual airframe of the warhead were developed. Moreover, computational models consider all the design and technological features of the airframe: layout of the projectiles attachments, initial stress-strain state of the system after the tightening of the threaded connections, friction between the components of the system and their mutual displacement, temperature dependence of the physical and mechanical characteristics and ultimate stress of materials. For the specified loading conditions during the ground operations with the warhead, the most dangerous computational cases are determined which have been implemented during the virtual tests. Test results were used to conduct the static analysis of the mechanical condition, strength and conditions for performance of the actual structure of the attachment under the impact of the operating levels of temperature exposure and heat cycling. Results of the virtual tests confirm the performance of the projectiles attachment system and are introduced into production in the phase of engineering development.

Key words: computer modelling, computational models, ground operations, mechanical condition, performance

Annotation: This article contains results of methodology and standards development for life prediction of launch site structures to launch various types’ launch vehicles into near-earth orbit. Launch sites have been built in various countries of the world (European Union, India, China, Korea, Russia, USA, Ukraine, France, Japan, etc.). In different countries they have their own characteristics, depending on the type and performance of the launch vehicles, infrastructure features (geography of the site, nomenclature of the space objects, development level of rocket and space technology), problems that are solved during launches, etc. Solution of various issues, arising in the process of development of the standards for justification of launch site life is associated with the requirement to consider complex problems of strength and life of nonuniform structural elements of launch sites and structures of rocket and space technology. Launch sites are the combination of technologically and functionally interconnected mobile and fixed hardware, controls and facilities, designed to support and carry out all types of operations with integrated launch vehicles. Launch pad, consisting of the support frame, flue duct lining and embedded elements for frame mounting, is one of the principal components of the launcher and to a large extent defines the life of the launch site. Main achievements of Ukrainian scientists in the field of strength and life are specified, taking into account the specifics of various branches of technology. It is noted that the physical nonlinearity of the material and statistical approaches determine the strength analysis of useful life. Main methodological steps of launch site structures life prediction are defined. Service limit of launch site is suggested to be the critical time or the number of cycles (launches) over this period, after which the specified limiting states are achieved in the dangerous areas of the load-bearing elements: critical cracks, destruction, formation of unacceptable plastic deformations, buckling failure, corrosion propagation, etc. Classification of loads acting on the launch sites is given. The useful life of launch site is associated with estimation of the number of launches. Concept of low and multiple-cycle fatigue is used. Developing strength standards and useful life calculation basis, it is advisable to use modern methods of engineering diagnostics, in particular, holographic interferometry and acoustic emission, and to develop the high-speed circuits of numerical procedures for on-line calculations when testing the designed systems.

Key words: classification of loads and failures; shock wave, acoustic and thermal loads; low-cycle fatigue; hierarchical approach in classification; projection-iterative schemes of numerical procedur

Language: Russian

Annotation: The article deals with the peculiarities of creation of technological crimping device for assembling the spacecraft separation system clamp band. The crimping device is intended to ensure uniform distribution of tension forces in the clamp band belts during assembling of the attachment clamp band, which allows minimizing the load on pyrolocks-pushers and thereby ensuring their operation reliability. The device consists of pressing mechanisms located along circumference symmetrically to the clamp band belts interface plane and fixed on a rest with adjustable supports. The pressing mechanism is a structure with driving kinematic scheme, which allows compensating for mounting errors, unfavorable combination of tolerances, avoiding occurrence of radial load on the thrust screw. However, during testing of the clamp band assembling technology, jamming of threaded connection as a result of thrust screw turn crush in the area of first turn of insert, gap in the thread after multiple use, scratches and minor scores on the conical surface of pressing mechanism, hardship of work with two wrenches were detected. To remove these defects, the sleeve with insert was replaced by the sleeve with protruding part, which allowed distributing the load in all turns more uniformly. The material of nut and screw was replaced based on relation between the strength limits: σв of rod > 1.3 σв and nut. The design of pressing mechanism was changed in respect of connection of thrust screw with hold-down, which allowed decreasing the load on screw pair as a consequence of axial force transfer from screw’s spherical surface to flat surface of hold-down, decreasing the tightening moment to ensure design force of clamp band belts fixation and making the process of pressing mechanisms assembling and disassembling easier. As a result of the updates, the manufacturable and ergonomic structure of crimping device was obtained, the use of which during assembling of the clamp band allows uniformly distributing the crimping forces in clamp band belts, which ensures reliability of spacecraft separation system operation.

Key words: clamp band, half-rings crimping, uniform tension force, pressing mechanism
