Abstract

Modern rocketry widely employs a method of gasodynamic impulse destruction of bondings which may occur at high variety of temperatures. To design fasteners correctly it is necessary to have the ability to calculate fastener’s destruction time at a given pressure. Numerical research is an expedient approach to this problem. A mathematical model of a high-speed deformation and failure in fastening elements of special rocket structures due to gasodynamic wave-impact impulse loading is developed. A technique for numerical analysis of the deformation of fasteners and failure duration is proposed. To perform such analysis a set of factors such as: static stress-strain state due to assembling; thermo-elastic deformation of fasteners due to environment temperature; high-speed dynamical elastic-plastic failure of fastening elements are taken into consideration. The failure model due to the plastic flow considers dynamical material properties. As a criterion of failure maximum plastic deformation is chosen. The technique is implemented for several types of fasteners. Numerical simulation using finite elements method is conducted. The results of the numerical research are well-correlated with experimental data.
