Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the structural integrity and weight of a rocket motor with a torispherical dome by size optimization. Size optimization was achieved by first-order and sub-problem methods, using the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). For rapid design verification, a modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model was used, and the bolt pre-tension load was expressed as function of the ratio of the cross-sectional area. The thickness of the dome and the cylindrical part of the rocket motor were selected as the design parameters. Our results showed that the weight and structural integrity of the rocket motor at the initial design stage could be determined more rapidly and accurately with the modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model than with the 3D finite-element model; further, the weight of the rocket motor could be saved to maximum of 17.6% within safety limit.

본 연구에서는 토리구형 돔 형상을 갖는 연소관의 치수 최적화를 통한 경량화와 구조 안전성을 평가하였다. 치수최적화 설계는 빠른 설계 검증을 위하여 볼트의 단면적 비가 고려된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 수행하였다. 이때, 해석 프로그램은 ANSYS APDL(Ansys Parameter Design Language)을 이용하였고, 해석법은 sub-problem법과 first-order법을 선택하여 수행하였다. 설계 변수로는 연소관의 돔과 실린더 부위의 두께를 선정하였다. 수정된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델은 3차원 유한요소 모델과의 결과 비교를 통하여 신뢰성을 확인하였고, 초기설계 단계에서 수정된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 연소관의 구조 안전성 평가와 빠르고 정확한 경량화 설계를 수행할 수 있었다. 연소관의 안전계수에 따른 최적화 해석 결과 최대 17.6%의 무게 절감 효과를 확인하였다.
