Introduction. The rapid development of rocket and space technology entails the emergence of features that directly influence the reliability of the product at all stages of its life cycle. One of the most important final stages of serial or prototype production is the stage of rocket and space equipment ground testing. This stage of production makes it possible to determine the quantitative and (or) qualitative characteristics of a product, to assess the correctness of the adopted technical solutions in the design and manufacturing process, as well as to identify the type and the nature of product destruction in the event of an emergency test output.

The LREs and their units undergo ground testing at various stages of production but firing tests (i.e. the process of an engine comprehensive simulation) are the final and determining type of tests. The purpose of static firing tests is autonomous engine testing and in the case of flight firing tests all systems of the aircraft on which the engine is installed are checked [1].

The cost of the flight and static firing tests varies widely hence, flight tests are only the final stage of prototype development and the final conclusion on the compliance of this LRE construction with technical specifications and its suitability for serial production is given based on the test results [2]. The stage of firing tests represents a large amount of tests that the engine undergoes during the design and manufacturing process and therefore, the stage includes a whole range of questions: from the decision to adjust the design of the prototype engine during development tests to ensure output quality control of serial products.

Firing tests are carried out at the test complex using the specialized firing test stands equipped with the systems providing: simulation of object test conditions, test stands and product objects control, as well as testing results measurement and recording. During the test continuous registration of many physical parameters is carried out and all stand systems must be in well-functioning operation for its implementation. Stand systems are required to guarantee high reliability and measurement accuracy. No less important is the requirement for the technological effectiveness of stand systems which can include the quality and complexity of the preparatory work carried out before the test, as well as routine maintenance included in the scheduled outage.

Features of LRE thrust measurement. The thrust of a liquid rocket engine is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the engine characteristics. As is well known, the thrust of the engine chamber is the resultant of hydrogasdynamic forces acting on the inner surfaces of the chamber upon expiration of matter and environmental pressure forces acting on the chamber outer surfaces, with the exception of external aerodynamic drag forces [3]. This resulting force causes the movement of the apparatus, on which the engine is set. According to the definition, this kind of thrust force calculation is complicated and not quite accurate since it is necessary to know the law of pressure change along the entire length of the chamber which, especially on the tapering part of the nozzle (i.e. from the end of the combustion chamber to the critical section) is not always known. Hence, a reliable indicator of the engine thrust value can only be deter-

mined by directly measuring the engine thrust on a test stand. During the test high demands are made on the accuracy of its measurement: the permissible error in most cases should not exceed 0.3-0.5 % of the nominal value [4].

It is worth noticing that the focus of direct thrust measurement comes from both the type and class of the engine as well as the ability of the stand to create simulating conditions for the engine to work in the design mode. For powerful engine testing the stand design providing a vertical arrangement of the engine axis is the most appropriate. But the stand designs including thrust measurement systems for the horizontal location of tested engines are also known. For direct thrust measurement on the test stands a special force measurement system is used which includes specialized information transition channels and thrust measurement devices consisting of the following structural units: a machine, a calibration system and a measuring system (force transducers, displacement sensors).

Basic circuit power schemes of the thrust measurement devices. The design of the thrust measurement devices is a combination of the three above mentioned components but a fundamental difference is implied by the choice of the device circuit power scheme, i. e. a type of machine and a calibration system. The machine consists of two main elements: a stationary base and a frame to which the tested engine is mounted. Thus, the principle of interaction between the thrust measurement devices can be represented by the scheme shown in fig. 1. The frame which can be moveable or stationary perceives the thrust from the tested engine and transfers it to the measuring system and base. Depending on the design machines are divided into four groups: machines with elastic bonds between the stationary base and the moving frame, rigid machines, machines with minimal friction and special machines [5].

The calibration system with respect to the measuring system is intended for its verification and calibration. Choosing the type of calibration system as well as the hardware version depends on the machine design used for the thrust measurement devices. There are several calibration systems used at the test stands for powerful RLEs: a hydraulic calibration system, a lever-operated calibrate system.

During the LRE tests the scheme of the thrust measurement devices for the machine with elastic bonds between the stationary base and the moving frame is mostly common since this scheme is easily integrated with all the main calibration systems. With this scheme the movable frame is usually hanged to the frame with strip suspension or flexible joints.

The first example of this circuit power scheme implementation is the thrust measurement devices of the stand № 1 manufactured by the "Testing and Refueling complex" (JSC Krasmash). The thrust measurement devices are a combination of the level-operated calibrate system and the double-support machine with elastic bonds between the frame and the stationary base, the principle scheme is shown in fig. 2. According to this system design the stationary part is represented by two racks 1, mounted on the overlap between the fire compartment

(where the tested engine is installed) and the thrust measurement devices compartment where the measuring and calibration systems are located. 3-pin-springs 5 are used as elastic bonds, while the external petals of the springs are connected to the stationary part and the internal ones are linked to the movable part of the machine. The feed lines are taken and fixed to the stand frame. The product is mounted to the transition frame 4. If necessary, the movable part of the machine is locked relatively the stationary one using eighth locking screws 6. Force transducers 7 are installed on the adjusting inserts 8 between the stationary and movable parts of the machine and measure the impact force of the moving part. The signal generated by the force transducers is transmitted through special communication channels to the complex of measuring and computing and information-measuring systems. Two force transducers are installed on each machine support. In this case, each pair of force transducers is of the same type and duplicate.

The lever-operated calibration system consists of upper levers 11, 12 and lower levers 9, 10. The lower levers of the second kind, with a gear ratio of i ~ 3.6 are connected to the frame using rods 13 and to short arms of the upper levers using tenders 14. The upper levers of the first kind with a gear ratio of i ~ 14, rest upon fixed racks 15. Suspensions 16 are fixed on the long arms of the lower levers. Calibration loads are manually placed on the suspensions, which affects the complexity of the process. All connections of the levers with the other parts of the lever-operated calibration system are carried out using prisms and caps. Such a connection provides a constant gear ratio during an operation.

The accuracy of this calibration system depends on rigidity, accuracy of the operated levers gear ratio as well as on the condition of the knife-edge supports surfaces, since they have increased wear under vibration loads.

The second example of a power circuit scheme including the machine with elastic bonds between the base and the movable frame, but with a hydraulic calibration system according to operation [6] are the thrust measurement devices of the stand test manufactured by the JSC NPO

Energomash named after academician V. Glushko. The principle scheme is presented in fig. 3.

According to this thrust measurement system design, the fixed part is attached to the power ring 7 and includes: frames 4, 5; brackets 11, 12; a spacer 15; a hydraulic loader 13. The rest components form a movable part of the thrust measurement system. This movable part is connected to the base in transverse directions by means of tapes 18 and with the fixed part by means of springs 17. The springs have great stiffness in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the engine and soft one in the plane parallel to the axis of the engine. This permits free motion of the non-stationary part relative to the stationary one in the direction of the engine axis. During the test the traction force from the engine is sequentially transmitted through frames 1, 2, 3 to the force transducer 16 with the spacer 15. The spacer, in turn, presses on the frame 4. The frame 4 abuts against the frame clamps 5 and then against the power ring 7.

Calibration is carried out using a special power hydraulic loader 13, which lengthening abuts against the frame 5 and the force transducer 9. During loading the frame 3 is moved using the frame 6 and rods 10. With this "internal" loading the force ring 7 is not involved in the load perception.

The essence of creating the exact value of the calibration force, in this case, comes down to using an additional force transducer 9 and according to its testimony load and adjustment of the force developed by the hydraulic loading device is carried out. The hydraulic calibration system permits creating accurate force with remote control, which has a positive effect on the system technological effectiveness.

The group of rigid machines includes devices with a fixed frame. These machines are structurally the simplest and differ in minimum weight and overall dimension [5]. According to this scheme the force transducer is rigidly fixed to the supporting structure of the stand and the force is transmitted from the engine through a fixed frame i.e. a frame without any movable connection between the frame and the stationary base.

In this case, the thrust measurement devices may not have a calibration system provided that the dismantled force transducer is periodically calibrated in the measuring laboratory and then installed at the workplace. The scheme is common for testing the small thrust LREs. The practical example of this thrust measurement system scheme is a test stand for the LREs with a thrust of up to 20 kN manufactured on the basis of the Aeronautics Institute of Technology in Sâo José dos Campos, Brazil [7].

The group of machines with minimal friction includes machines in which the frame is moved with minimal friction, these are various kinds of rocking chairs, lunettes, trolleys. Currently, such machines are practically not used for the LRE testing. Whereas, when testing solid fuel rocket engines (SFRE) slipway equipment is widely used

to orient and mount the SFRE on a test stand in horizontal position [8]. Examples of this scheme practical application are sources [8; 9].

The fourth group of machines includes special devices that provide the ability to measure the LRE thrust whose structural features do not permit to test them on the above mentioned machines. For example, engines with nozzles located at an angle to the axis of the combustion chamber [5].

Revisiting the calibration of the trust measurement devices. Calibration is a technological operation which consists in obtaining a relationship between the values of the input measured parameter (in this case, the engine thrust force) and output informative parameter (depends on the type of sensor used). The calibration error, in turn, is the sum of systematic error of the means for setting the

force, the random component of the error during calibration and the error of the recording device [10]. The systematic component of the basic error depends on the type and specific design of the calibration system. The random component of the error during calibration depends on the following factors: instability of external indicators of the calibration process (indoor air temperature, the tempera-

ture of the thrust measurement devices), random collisions and vibration during calibration that cannot be eliminated, changes in the position of the force-setting elements.

Considering the main calibration systems and firing test stands used in the LRE thrust measurement system some of the features presented in table may be highlighted.

To ensure more accurate thrust measurement readings the thrust measurement system calibration is carried out on the day of assigned test after the technological installation of the engine and connection of fuel lines and measuring pipelines, drain and purge lines, control and measurement systems cable trunks and all auxiliary fastening elements affecting the weight of the tested LRE. During the calibration process it is forbidden for workers to be in the stand or to perform work that may, in any way, affect the product.

A proposal for the thrust measurement systems modernization. The error of direct power LRE thrust measurement during the test consists of the measuring system (measuring components) error, calibration error, accuracy and completeness of various metrological characteristics when testing. These include several interference corrections: changes during the engine mass testing; changes in mass and temperature of the components; mismatch of the exemplary and measured effort points, the Bourdon effect and other phenomena affecting a particular thrust measurement system during the testing process [1]. With the development of computing technology one of the steps to modernize test systems was the implementation of new measurement and control systems on modern element bases to replace obsolete and worn-out ones [11].

As a result of this lever and hydraulic calibration systems may be replaced for electric ones as a form of the thrust measurement system design modernization. It is proposed to use a special electromechanical drive based on a planetary roller-screw mechanism as a power drive to create the calibration force.

The electromagnetic drive is an electric cylinder with the mechanism that converts electrical energy into mechanical. The planetary roller-screw mechanism is used at law feed speeds and high forces. In this mechanism the load from the lead screw is transferred to the nut through the rounded sides of the rollers (force transmission through the satellite rollers). The disassembled planetary roller-screw mechanism is shown in fig. 4.

Fig. 4. Disassembled planetary roller-screw mechanism [12] Рис. 4. ПРВМ в разобранном виде [12]

Consider principles of its operation. In contrast with the planetary gear drive in which satellite axis move in a plane normal to the axis of central wheel rotation, in the mechanism under consideration threaded rollers as satellites execute three motions. The rollers rotate around their axes; rotate around the axis of the screw together with the separators; rolling around the thread of the nut rollers move along the axis of the nut together with the screw [13]. The advantages as the basis for considering the im-

plementation of this drive are the ability of the mechanism to work at high loads as well as the design simplicity and reliability which entails the simplification of the calibration device kinematic scheme. The electromechanical drive also allows remote control but unlike hydraulic systems it has a higher system response to the slightest changes and does not require the operation of additional equipment (as it is with hydraulic systems), only power and signal cables and a control unit are required for the electric cylinders operation. Electric cylinders are capable of operating at speeds of up to 1.5 m/s with forces of up to 400 kN, they have a stroke of up to 1.2 m with positioning accuracy of approximately 1 ^m [14]. The use of electric cylinders as a force setting drive in the thrust measurement system is proposed to be carried out as it is shown in fig. 5.

Consider the case, when the maximum axial force created by the electromechanical drive is sufficient to calibrate the thrust measurement system. Depending on this system design the place of force application for measurement system calibration is determined. In the case of rigid machines or machines with elastic bonds between the frame and the stationary base the transmission of force set by the drive through the frame is meant. The system must include loading and control subsystems for functioning. Electric cylinders themselves are directly included in the loading subsystem and their number depends on the number of measurement branches and fixed supports of the thrust measurement machine. The control subsystem should include frequency and secondary converters, a strain gauge force transducer working on compression, power cables. To ensure operation the control subsystem should be integrated with the common stand control system. The value of the force created by the electric cylinder is entered in the PC software. And all the information about the amount of efforts is transmitted to the frequency converter through a processor module. The electric converter, in its turn, generates a supply voltage for the electric cylinder connected to it. The strain gauge force transducer is installed between the cylinder rod and the place of force application. Deformation of an elastic element causes imbalance of the strain gauge bridge. An electric unbalanced signal arrives at the secondary measurement converter for analog-to-digital conversion, and measured data processing and display [15]. Data on the actual force magnitude on the cylinder rod can ensure high accuracy of loading. The main error varies within errors of the primary and secondary transducers which can reach about 0.1 % in the case of using a strain gauge transducer. In the case when thrust measurement devices include stands for testing powerful ERLs which thrust reaches 1000 kN or more and when the electric cylinder maximum force is insufficient for calibration program a combination of the electromechanical drive and the lever-operated calibration system is proposed. The load from the electric cylinder is applied to a lever through which the increasing force is transmitted to the moving frame of the thrust measurement system.

As in the previous version, the work is carried out with electric voltage that is why this solution makes it possible to implement a stepless calibration method since the tasks of programming and force control are greatly simplified.

Fig. 5. Scheme of a calibration system based on an electromechanical drive Рис. 5. Схема градуировочной системы на базе электромеханического привода

At the same time the remote control condition is fulfilled and this reduces the work complexity compared to standard calibration including the lever-operated calibration system. This scheme has inherent disadvantages of the lever calibration system in combination with advantages of the electric drive.

Electric cylinders have high efficiency (about 85 %) and the current consumption changes in proportion to the developed load. If it is necessary to minimize energy consumption the electric cylinders design permits graduated calibration since the electromagnetic brake is capable of holding the predetermined force. Whereas, the testing stand compartments have a category of increased fire hazard it is necessary to provide for explosion proof execution of operating elements to keep safe the electromechanical drive system.

Conclusion. Based on the theory of thrust measurement system design and practical use of thrust measurement devices on the LRE testing stands features, advantages and disadvantages of various principle thrust measurement system schemes were evaluated. A proposal is made for thrust measurement system modernization by implementating a calibration system based on the electromechanical drive. The general concept to use an electric cylinder as a calibration system loading device is presented. Disadvantages and prospects of implementing this drive into the calibration system of LRE firing test stands are estimated.
