To ensure the accuracy of the work capacity of the detonation powerplant, the explosive and shock process of detonation powerplants was simulated with LS-DYNA. Many maximum rising displacements of the cartridge indicating the work capacity of the device were obtained, under different fit clearances of the device. It was proved that fit clearances were the key factors affecting the work capacity of the device, and reasonable range for fit clearances was found. Besides, the objective function, constraint condition, and optimization design variables of the Genetic Algorithm were determined according to the design indicators of the detonation powerplant. e theoretical values of fit clearances of the optimization design of detonation powerplants were obtained.

Introduction According to the CCAR-21-R3 “Provisions for the Approval of Civil Aviation Products and Parts” of Civil Aviation Adminis- tration of China, enough measures must be taken to safeguard the life safety of the crew in flight tests. e new regional jet independently designed and manufactured by China needs to carry out the test flight in accordance with airworthiness regulations. To make sure that the test flight crew are able to escape from the aircraſt in an emergency situation, the mul- tisection telescopic detonation powerplant which is the core device of the emergency escaping support system is made. It is the first case in China where accurate blasting technique is applied to the civil aviation life-saving field [1]. e working principle sketch of the detonation powerplant is shown in Figure 1. Its function is to overcome about 6 KN aerodynamic drag applied on the surface of the service door and push it toward the cabin in certain track and pose through the cooperation of the four sets of devices [2], providing an emergency barrier-free escaping tunnel to the crew. e research and manufacture of detonation powerplants open a new field for civil aviation life-saving. During the movement, the service door needs to keep in certain track and pose. Namely, the angle of the door’s lateral overturning should not be larger than 10 , the movement distance is 2 m, the error is smaller than 15%, and no unacceptable harm to the pose of the aircraſt or the crew is caused during the movement. erefore, to ensure the accuracy of the work capacity of the detonation powerplant and the maximal utilization rate of the gunpowder, simulating the working process of detonation powerplants with LS-DYNA and optimizing the design of parameters through Genetic Algorithm have great meaning. At the early stage of the research and development of the detonation powerplant, in the work capacity test experiment, it has found that there was great discrepancy in the work capacity of the devices, which does not comply with the technical indicator of the error of the work capacity being less than 10%. As a result, the movement of the service door cannot be controlled accurately. To solve this problem and improve the energy utilization rate of the gunpowder, key factors that influence the work capacity of the detonation powerplant are analyzed and studied [3]. And it is found that the fit clearances inside the device are key factors. e sketch of the detonation powerplant is depicted in Figure 2, including height of the cartridge 1 , outer diameter 1 , inner diameter 1 , and height of the cavity 1 ; height of the slide Hindawi Publishing Corporation Mathematical Problems in Engineering Volume 2016, Article ID 5036083, 12 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2016/5036083

(2) Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian ALE in which theexplosive element is the Euler element and the ele-ment exploded is the Lagrange element The explo-sion between the two grids is simulated by the definedcoupling [7]

In Lagrange Algorithm there is a great chance that severedistortion happens to the explosive element thus stoppingthe computing processTherefore though ALE is slower thanLagrange Algorithm it can effectively avoid such problemscaused by severe distortion of the grids as computationaldivergence and unreliable computing results

212 Model Building A calculation physics model is builtwith Solidworks and then the model is imported in LS-DYNA which is presented in Figure 3 (On the left is theSolidworks 3D model on the right is the Ansys 3D model)

211 Analysis of Modeling There are mainly two ways tosimulate the explosive process including

(1) Lagrange Algorithm in which the explosive elementis the eight-node entity element The explosive ele-ment and the element exploded could share the samenode or could be connected by the contact The firstis relatively faster than the second in computing

Figure 4 The finite element mesh model of the detonation powerplant

(2) Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian ALE in which theexplosive element is the Euler element and the ele-ment exploded is the Lagrange element The explo-sion between the two grids is simulated by the definedcoupling [7]

In Lagrange Algorithm there is a great chance that severedistortion happens to the explosive element thus stoppingthe computing processTherefore though ALE is slower thanLagrange Algorithm it can effectively avoid such problemscaused by severe distortion of the grids as computationaldivergence and unreliable computing results

32 Determination of Objective Function In this section themathematical equations of the optimization design of thedetonation powerplant internal ballistics parameters are builtand the optimization design of internal ballistics is carriedout so that the design cycle is shortened and the designquality is improvedTheprocess of the detonation powerplantdoing work to outside can be divided into four stagesOn the basis of the characteristic of each stage and classicballistic theories such as internal ballistics gunpowder gasequation of state burning equation energy conservation lawand kinematic equation [13ndash17] the mathematical models ofinternal ballistics of the four stages are built

The first stage is the period from the ignition of gunpow-der to the time when the cartridge and slide cylinder start tomove In this period the gunpowder is burning in constantvolume and the gas pressure in the cavity produced by theburning of gunpowder gradually increases from zero to startpressure The constant volume equation of state gunpowdershape function Euler equation which represents the one-dimensional linear motion of the gas in device [18] andrelative gas leakage flow of this period are

There are many parameters involved in the design of thedetonation powerplant Among these parameters some aredynamic variables some are constant numbers some havea relatively big influence on the performance of the internalballistics of the detonation powerplant while some are thesecondary parameterswhich only have a little influence someare independent from each other and some have influence onone another with certain correlation among them

Optimizing the design variables must target the inde-pendent variables which have the most influence on theperformance of the device and can respond most sensitivelyFor three fit clearances and their influences on the workcapacity of the detonation powerplant being investigatedthe constraint conditions are the following (1) Taking thesetup space for the detonation powerplant and the structuralstrength of the parts into consideration set the maximumair pressure as 119901max = 150MPa (2) The volume of thegunpowder room is not only related to the setup spaceof the detonation powerplant but also closely related tothe fit sizes of the slide cylinder cartridge and the fixedcylinder On the basis of the results of parameter optimizationdesign in early stage set the volume of the gunpowder roomas 1610mm3 le 119881 le 1645mm3 (3) The fit clearancebeing too large or too small will affect the improving ofthe accuracy and consistency of the work capacity of thedetonation powerplant And it also has a direct influenceon the frictional resistance and gas leakage of the deviceAccording to Section 2 three fit clearances can be set as002mm le 120575

31 Basic Hypothesis The internal ballistics zero dimensionmathematical model of the detonation powerplant is a spaceaveraging parameter model based on Lagrange hypothesis[11] On the basis of internal ballistics theory and practicalsituation of the detonation powerplant hypotheses as belowhave been made [12] (1) The burning of gunpowder followsthe geometry burning rule (2) The burning of gunpowderparticles follows the burning velocity rule (3) Gunpowdergas equation of state complies with the Nobel-Abel equation(4) Leave out the gas pressure gradient in the cavity ofthe detonation powerplant (5) Ingredients produced in theburning of gunpowder remain the same (6)The loss of heat iscorrected by decreasing gunpowder impetus 119891 or increasingratio of specific heat 119896 (7) Ignore the influence of assistantgunpowder charge on the performance of the detonationpowerplant internal ballistics (8) Ignore the influence of elec-tric igniters on the performance of the detonation powerplantat the moment of ignition

32 Determination of Objective Function In this section themathematical equations of the optimization design of thedetonation powerplant internal ballistics parameters are builtand the optimization design of internal ballistics is carriedout so that the design cycle is shortened and the designquality is improvedTheprocess of the detonation powerplantdoing work to outside can be divided into four stagesOn the basis of the characteristic of each stage and classicballistic theories such as internal ballistics gunpowder gasequation of state burning equation energy conservation lawand kinematic equation [13ndash17] the mathematical models ofinternal ballistics of the four stages are built

The first stage is the period from the ignition of gunpow-der to the time when the cartridge and slide cylinder start tomove In this period the gunpowder is burning in constantvolume and the gas pressure in the cavity produced by theburning of gunpowder gradually increases from zero to startpressure The constant volume equation of state gunpowdershape function Euler equation which represents the one-dimensional linear motion of the gas in device [18] andrelative gas leakage flow of this period are

There are many parameters involved in the design of thedetonation powerplant Among these parameters some aredynamic variables some are constant numbers some havea relatively big influence on the performance of the internalballistics of the detonation powerplant while some are thesecondary parameterswhich only have a little influence someare independent from each other and some have influence onone another with certain correlation among them

Optimizing the design variables must target the inde-pendent variables which have the most influence on theperformance of the device and can respond most sensitivelyFor three fit clearances and their influences on the workcapacity of the detonation powerplant being investigatedthe constraint conditions are the following (1) Taking thesetup space for the detonation powerplant and the structuralstrength of the parts into consideration set the maximumair pressure as 119901max = 150MPa (2) The volume of thegunpowder room is not only related to the setup spaceof the detonation powerplant but also closely related tothe fit sizes of the slide cylinder cartridge and the fixedcylinder On the basis of the results of parameter optimizationdesign in early stage set the volume of the gunpowder roomas 1610mm3 le 119881 le 1645mm3 (3) The fit clearancebeing too large or too small will affect the improving ofthe accuracy and consistency of the work capacity of thedetonation powerplant And it also has a direct influenceon the frictional resistance and gas leakage of the deviceAccording to Section 2 three fit clearances can be set as002mm le 120575

5 Conclusions

Conclusions as below are drawn on the basis of LS-DYNAsimulation of the explosive and shock process of the detona-tion powerplant optimal design of Genetic Algorithm andrelated test experiments

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

In conclusion the analysis method used in this paper ismeaningful for further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant in both theory and reality Nowadays it has beenimplied to the test flight of airliner made in China

32 Determination of Objective Function In this section themathematical equations of the optimization design of thedetonation powerplant internal ballistics parameters are builtand the optimization design of internal ballistics is carriedout so that the design cycle is shortened and the designquality is improvedTheprocess of the detonation powerplantdoing work to outside can be divided into four stagesOn the basis of the characteristic of each stage and classicballistic theories such as internal ballistics gunpowder gasequation of state burning equation energy conservation lawand kinematic equation [13ndash17] the mathematical models ofinternal ballistics of the four stages are built

The first stage is the period from the ignition of gunpow-der to the time when the cartridge and slide cylinder start tomove In this period the gunpowder is burning in constantvolume and the gas pressure in the cavity produced by theburning of gunpowder gradually increases from zero to startpressure The constant volume equation of state gunpowdershape function Euler equation which represents the one-dimensional linear motion of the gas in device [18] andrelative gas leakage flow of this period are

There are many parameters involved in the design of thedetonation powerplant Among these parameters some aredynamic variables some are constant numbers some havea relatively big influence on the performance of the internalballistics of the detonation powerplant while some are thesecondary parameterswhich only have a little influence someare independent from each other and some have influence onone another with certain correlation among them

Optimizing the design variables must target the inde-pendent variables which have the most influence on theperformance of the device and can respond most sensitivelyFor three fit clearances and their influences on the workcapacity of the detonation powerplant being investigatedthe constraint conditions are the following (1) Taking thesetup space for the detonation powerplant and the structuralstrength of the parts into consideration set the maximumair pressure as 119901max = 150MPa (2) The volume of thegunpowder room is not only related to the setup spaceof the detonation powerplant but also closely related tothe fit sizes of the slide cylinder cartridge and the fixedcylinder On the basis of the results of parameter optimizationdesign in early stage set the volume of the gunpowder roomas 1610mm3 le 119881 le 1645mm3 (3) The fit clearancebeing too large or too small will affect the improving ofthe accuracy and consistency of the work capacity of thedetonation powerplant And it also has a direct influenceon the frictional resistance and gas leakage of the deviceAccording to Section 2 three fit clearances can be set as002mm le 120575

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

Later the service door stops accelerating and gets aninitial velocity then it starts flat parabolic motion Whenthe service door touches the floor of the cabin it starts tospin around the horizontal centroidal axis and continues tolose speed until the speed reduces to zero Then the servicedoor falls on the floor The energy equation that transformsthe process above into the working process of devices in thedetonation powerplant work capacity test experiment is

There are many parameters involved in the design of thedetonation powerplant Among these parameters some aredynamic variables some are constant numbers some havea relatively big influence on the performance of the internalballistics of the detonation powerplant while some are thesecondary parameterswhich only have a little influence someare independent from each other and some have influence onone another with certain correlation among them

Optimizing the design variables must target the inde-pendent variables which have the most influence on theperformance of the device and can respond most sensitivelyFor three fit clearances and their influences on the workcapacity of the detonation powerplant being investigatedthe constraint conditions are the following (1) Taking thesetup space for the detonation powerplant and the structuralstrength of the parts into consideration set the maximumair pressure as 119901max = 150MPa (2) The volume of thegunpowder room is not only related to the setup spaceof the detonation powerplant but also closely related tothe fit sizes of the slide cylinder cartridge and the fixedcylinder On the basis of the results of parameter optimizationdesign in early stage set the volume of the gunpowder roomas 1610mm3 le 119881 le 1645mm3 (3) The fit clearancebeing too large or too small will affect the improving ofthe accuracy and consistency of the work capacity of thedetonation powerplant And it also has a direct influenceon the frictional resistance and gas leakage of the deviceAccording to Section 2 three fit clearances can be set as002mm le 120575

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

5 Conclusions

Conclusions as below are drawn on the basis of LS-DYNAsimulation of the explosive and shock process of the detona-tion powerplant optimal design of Genetic Algorithm andrelated test experiments

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

In conclusion the analysis method used in this paper ismeaningful for further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant in both theory and reality Nowadays it has beenimplied to the test flight of airliner made in China

5 Conclusions

Conclusions as below are drawn on the basis of LS-DYNAsimulation of the explosive and shock process of the detona-tion powerplant optimal design of Genetic Algorithm andrelated test experiments

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

In conclusion the analysis method used in this paper ismeaningful for further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant in both theory and reality Nowadays it has beenimplied to the test flight of airliner made in China

5 Conclusions

Conclusions as below are drawn on the basis of LS-DYNAsimulation of the explosive and shock process of the detona-tion powerplant optimal design of Genetic Algorithm andrelated test experiments

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

In conclusion the analysis method used in this paper ismeaningful for further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant in both theory and reality Nowadays it has beenimplied to the test flight of airliner made in China

5 Conclusions

Conclusions as below are drawn on the basis of LS-DYNAsimulation of the explosive and shock process of the detona-tion powerplant optimal design of Genetic Algorithm andrelated test experiments

(1) By simulating the explosive and shock process ofthe detonation powerplant with LS-DYNA the mainfactors that affect the accuracy of the work capacityof the device are found They are the fit clearancesbetween the outer wall of the cartridge and the innerwall of the slide cylinder the outer wall of the slidecylinder and the lace of the fixed cylinder and thelace of the slide cylinder and the inner wall of thefixed cylinder and the reasonable range of these threefit clearances is figured out which lays a foundationfor further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant

(2) The internal ballistics zero dimension mathematicalmodel of the detonation powerplant is used as theoptimal design model of the device internal ballisticsparameters in Genetic Algorithm and the objectivefunction optimization design variables and restraintcondition used in the study are appropriate As aresult optimal fit clearances as expected are found

(3) The device used in the detonation powerplant workcapacity test experiment is simple and appropriateand satisfies the accuracy required in theory And thework capacity of the detonation powerplant underthe optimal fit clearances obtained from GeneticAlgorithm is tested through experiment and LS-DYNA simulation And within an acceptable errorrange the results from the experiment are consistentwith the theoretical values of fit clearances whichsatisfies the design goal

In conclusion the analysis method used in this paper ismeaningful for further optimization design of the detonationpowerplant in both theory and reality Nowadays it has beenimplied to the test flight of airliner made in China
