基于轻质多孔结构的集成式热防护系统设计

INTEGRATED THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN BASED ON LIGHTWEIGHT CELLULAR STRUCTURES

  • 摘要: 高超声速飞行器面临极端气动热/载荷耦合服役环境, 集成式热防护系统(Integrated Thermal Protection System, ITPS)因融合防隔热与承载功能, 精准契合其热力防护的迫切需求而备受关注. 然而, 现有ITPS研究仍局限于波纹夹芯和金字塔点阵夹芯构型, 对力学性能更为优异的体心立方点阵夹芯结构及其防隔热机理缺乏深入探讨. 为此, 本研究基于多重旋转策略与隔热材料梯度填充策略, 设计了6种ITPS体心立方点阵夹芯结构, 并通过理论分析与数值模拟分析, 探究了其力学、传热及热力耦合性能. 力学与传热分析表明, 梯度填充结构因相对密度较低, 其临界气动压力明显低于均一填充结构, 且四重旋转梯度ITPS最低; 且梯度填充可降低下面板温度和热短路效应, 优化内部温度场分布. 热力耦合分析显示, 六种构型ITPS的应力集中区域分布规律一致, 其中三重旋转与梯度填充模式能显著降低芯杆应力, 四重旋转结构位移最小且力学性能更优, 整体变形极小可忽略. 相关研究成果为ITPS的结构优化和性能提升提供重要理论依据与工程参考价值.

     

    Abstract: Hypersonic flight vehicles inevitably encounter extreme service environments characterized by the intense coupling of severe aerodynamic heating and mechanical loads. In this context, the Integrated Thermal Protection System (ITPS) has garnered significant attention due to its ability to seamlessly integrate thermal insulation and structural load-bearing functions, thereby meeting the urgent requirements for thermomechanical protection. However, existing research on ITPS remains largely confined to corrugated and pyramidal lattice sandwich configurations, resulting in a lack of in-depth investigation into the Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) lattice core, which exhibits superior mechanical properties, as well as the underlying mechanisms of its thermal insulation capabilities. To address this critical gap, this study designs six distinct ITPS configurations incorporating BCC lattice cores based on a multi-rotation strategy combined with a gradient filling strategy for insulation materials. Through a combination of rigorous theoretical analysis and comprehensive numerical simulations, the mechanical properties, heat transfer behavior, and thermomechanical coupling performance of these structures were systematically investigated. The results indicate that gradient-filled structures, owing to their relatively lower relative density, exhibit significantly lower critical aerodynamic pressure compared to uniformly filled counterparts. Notably, the structure with quadruple rotation and gradient filling demonstrated the lowest critical pressure. Additionally, the gradient filling strategy effectively reduces the temperature of the bottom panel and mitigates the thermal short-circuiting effect, thereby optimizing the internal temperature field distribution. Furthermore, the thermomechanical coupling analysis reveals that all six configurations exhibit consistent distribution patterns of stress concentration. Among these, the triple rotation and gradient filling modes significantly alleviate stress within the core struts. Simultaneously, the quadruple rotation structure displays the minimal displacement, demonstrating superior mechanical performance with overall deformation negligible enough to be ignored. The findings presented herein provide an essential theoretical reference and practical insights for the structural topology optimization and performance enhancement of integrated thermal protection systems intended for future hypersonic applications.
