Optimization Design for Detonation Powerplant Based on LS-DYNA Simulation

Abstract EN

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.

The theoretical values of fit clearances of the optimization design of detonation powerplants were obtained.

At last, the tests of the work capacity of the detonation powerplant and LS-DYNA simulation proved the rationality of the theoretical values from the Genetic Algorithm, providing an experimental proof for the accuracy design, which could control the service door movement accurately.
