Determination method of dynamic distorted scaling laws and applicable structure size intervals of a rotating thin-wall short cylindrical shell

Abstract

This study investigates the applicability of distortion models for predicting dynamic characteristics of a rotating thin-wall short cylindrical shell. The significance of this study is that it provides a necessary scaling law, applicable structure size intervals, and its boundary functions, which can guide the design of distortion models. Sensitivity analysis and governing equations are employed to establish the scaling law between the model and the prototype. Then a commonly used 7050 aluminum alloy cylindrical shell is analyzed as a prototype. The determination of applicable structure size intervals is discussed, and the boundary functions of the applicable structure size intervals are investigated. The applicability of the scaling law and the applicable intervals of rotating thin-wall short cylindrical shell are verified numerically. The results indicate that distortion models that satisfy the structure size applicable intervals can predict the characteristics of the prototype with good accuracy.
