    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to the technical field of propellant performance research, and in particular, to a method for reducing propellant curing residual stress by a high-energy acoustic beam. The method includes the following steps: injecting a propellant slurry into a curing container and waiting for the propellant slurry to start curing; actuating, when the propellant slurry starts curing, a high-energy acoustic beam generator and a high-energy acoustic beam transducer to continuously emit high-energy acoustic beam to the propellant slurry in the curing container until the propellant slurry is cured to form a propellant grain; and closing the high-energy acoustic beam generator and the high-energy acoustic beam transducer. The method for reducing propellant curing residual stress by high-energy acoustic beam provided in the present disclosure can reduce residual stress inside the propellant in an effective manner, thereby ensuring operation safety of the aerospace equipment.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of non-destructive detecting of residual stress, and in particular to a non-destructive detecting device for component residual stress gradient. the non-destructive detecting device comprises: groups of transmitting transducers and receiving transducers arranged symmetrically to each other, the transmitting transducers closer to the symmetry axis have greater excitation frequencies; an acoustic wedge coupled to the groups of transmitting transducers and receiving transducers, wherein groups of cylindrical transmitting tunnels and receiving tunnels are provided obliquely within the transmitting connection area and the receiving connection area through their top surfaces and toward their bottom surfaces, the transmitting transducers are coupled to the transmitting tunnels in a one-to-one correspondence, the receiving transducers are coupled to the receiving tunnels in a one-to-one correspondence, and the bottom surfaces of the transmitting connection area and the receiving connection area are pressed against the surface of the detected component; and a calculation processing module electrically connected to the transmitting transducers and the receiving transducers. The non-destructive detecting device solves the problem that the residual stress values of components at different penetration depths cannot be detected at the same time.

    Abstract: The present application relates to the technical field of the research on energetic composite materials, and in particular to a device and a method for controlling transverse and longitudinal stress waves during the curing process of energetic composite materials. The device for controlling transverse and longitudinal stress waves comprises a curing vessel containing an energetic composite materials to be cured; a vertical exciter that is vertically incident to the curing vessel; and a plurality of oblique exciters which are arranged around the vertical exciter and obliquely incident to the curing vessel, wherein the oblique exciters have inclination angles between a first critical angle and a second critical angle. By means of incident transverse and longitudinal waves, the internal radial residual stress and the internal axial residual stress are reduced and homogenized, so as to improve stability and mechanical property of the energetic composite materials during curing.
