Fu Jian, Lu Hongnian
2003, 29(1): 9-12.
Abstract:
It is well known that Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT) is hampered by the matter of time to acquire an image severely. A scan concept called RR (Rotation and Rotation) was argued to save the scan time of large components ICT testing with TR(Transverse Rotation). Its reconstruction algorithm based on filter back-projection algorithm was presented. The validity of the algorithm was proved by computer simulation results. Analysis indicated that the scan speed can be improved at least three times, compared with that of TR limited by the same testing conditions.

Zhang Ping, Wang Dong, Chen Zongji
2003, 29(1): 23-26.
Abstract:
A post-stall maneuver control law for aircraft with new control surfaces and trust vectoring control is proposed. The air dynamical data table is operated by minimal mean-square value of the error between the air data and the combined continued functions. The 6 freedom nonlinear dynamical equations of the aircraft are predigested at static operating points by extended linearization which still possess nonlinear characters. The control laws of the inner closed-loop system and post-stall maneuver are obtained through using symbol operations design. Simulation result shows that the control law is effective for the post-stall maneuver design of modern aircrafts.

Abstract:
The flows over upswept afterbodies were investigated by a numerical method based on 3D compressible N-S equations, in order to study effects of geometry parameters and flow parameters on drag coefficient of upswept afterbodies. The results showed that the pressure drag coefficient increases rapidly with increasing upswept angle and contraction ratio respectively, and with decreasing forebody incidence. The friction drag coefficient increases with increasing afterbody fineness ratio and decreasing Reynolds Number. The more the afterbody flatness, the more the pressure drag. The wave drag coefficient also increases with increasing upswept angle at transonic speed.

NonLinear Filtering Method for Emissivity Correction ofPCB Infrared Thermal Images
Wan Jiuqing, Li Xingshan
2003, 29(1): 76-78.
Abstract:
In the diagnosis of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) based on infrared radiation, emissivity correction must be performed on the thermal image to retrieve the true temperature distribution on the PCB surface. Taking the measured PCB surface temperature as a combination of its true temperature distribution and its emissivity distribution, a non-linear filtering method was proposed to separate the true temperature from this combination based on the differences in the continuity of these two contributions. As a key step of the proposed method, the wavelet implementation of discontinuities detection in thermal image was also discussed. Experimental results indicated that the true temperature distribution can be estimated precisely by the proposed method. It is also shown that the proposed method can be used in other applications such as heat source recognition on PCB infrared thermal image and emissivity estimation of unknown materials.

Modified MPS Method for Nonlinear Dynamic Problems
Guo Jun, Tao Zhi
2003, 29(1): 83-86.
Abstract:
A modified moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method was presented. Neighbor interaction models for differential operators are presented, without the use of ghost nodes to deal with boundary conditions. The performance of the proposed method was demonstrated by solving Burgers's equations. It was shown that the results using spline function as kernel without ghost nodes agree well with those with ghosts,and both results coincide with exact results or other existing solutions. It was also found that for 1D problems smooth weight functions perform better than non-smooth ones, while for 2D problems the effect of weight function's asymmetry near boundaries is negligible. This method was demonstrated to be quite straightforward, simple and easy to code.
