Steering law design for SGCMGs taking gimbal servo characteristics into account
Wu Zhong, Chou Wusheng
2004, 30(06): 489-492.
Abstract:
Gimbal servo systems of single gimbal control moment gyroscopes (SGCMGs) are often assumed to have ideal tracking performance during the steering law design. The tracking performance can be decreased due to the finite bandwidth and various disturbances of gimbal servo systems. In order to attenuate the effect of gimbal servo systems on steering performance, a new steering law was presented. This steering law was designed not only based on kinematics, but also dynamics of SGCMGs, and could calculate the control torque for each SGCMG gimbal directly according to the momentum (or torque) command. Since it has no arithmetic singularity, steering error can be made converge to zero exponentially when system singularities do not appear. Comparatively, it has a simple form and is easy to be realized. Simulation results of a certain 4-SGCMG system indicate that the algorithm stated above is feasible.

2004, 30(06): 506-511.
Abstract:
In the machine learning of fuzzy rules for the diagnostic expert systems, the best selection of rule conditions is one of the most important steps. A new fuzzy nearness function was proposed, and the overlap degree of the rule conditions was evaluated to get an evaluated matrix with this function. An algorithm of the best selection for rule conditions or test points based on the evaluated matrix was designed. The simulation shows that the number of rule conditions, which has to be learned, is decreased largely, consequently, the workload of learning is reduced too. Further more, the method of the best selection of test points can do well to the design of automatic test.

Luo Xiang, Xu Guoqiang, Ding Shuiting, Tao Zhi
2004, 30(06): 512-515.
Abstract:
A gas turbine disk was simplified to be a shrouded rotor-stator system with high-positioned air inflow, the rotor was heated at rim. The rotor diameter was 400 mm and its maximal rotating speed was up to 3000 r/min. Transient heat transfer characteristics of the rotor were investigated experimentally as the rotational Reynolds number and the mass flow rate were changed. The results show: the mass flow rate could always have significant effects on average Nusselt number of the rotor. The rates of temperature vs. time in everyplace are almost same. The rotational Reynolds number has a few effects on averaged Nusselt number in this experimental range. The rate of temperature vs. time at high radius is large than that at low radius under different changes of rotational Reynolds number.

Li Kang, Fang Zhenping
2004, 30(06): 516-519.
Abstract:
  A global stability analysis was presented to guide high angle-of-attack (AOA) control law design for nonlinear aircraft dynamic system. Bifurcation analysis was firstly explored to investigate the structural stability of nonlinear aircraft dynamic system at high AOA. Then by reasonably selecting equilibrium points, eigenstructure assignment was applied to design gain scheduling control law at high AOA and the extension of stable flight region to high AOA was achieved. By using time domain numerical simulations, the domains of attractor for stable equilibrium points at high AOA were estimated. In contrast to other methods, global asymptotic stability of nonlinear aircraft dynamic system is obtained other than Lyapunov local asymptotic stability.

Abstract:
The impact problems of a rod on a Timoshenko beam and a Timoshenko beam on another Timoshenko beam were analyzed by means of the indirect mode superposition method(IMSM). A rod on a beam and a beam on another beam are both typical built-up structures. The displacement compatible equations of the two problems were established by IMSM on the basis of the individually obtainedmode functions and frequencies of impactors and targets, and solved by numerical integration step by step. The numerical analysis by making use of dimensionless variables show the propagation of the longitudinal waves along rod, and the longitudinal and transverse waves along beam, and the mutual transition and reflection between the longitudinal waves and the transverse waves in the impact built-up structures in detail.

Xu Bo, Tang Hailong, Li Xingshan
2004, 30(06): 524-528.
Abstract:
A quantitative fault diagnosis method was presented based on pattern recognition principles for gas path component in turbofan. The method consists of a preprocessing step for multivariate dynamic data, where the magnitude dependent information is standardized, and a similarity assessment step via DTW (dynamic time warping). DTW is a flexible pattern matching method used in the area of speech recognition. The method was designed to classify faults independently of inconsistencies in the operating processes of turbofan ground test-runs. Quantitative diagnosis was fulfilled by the subdivision of fault pattern database according to the fault degree of gas path component. Case studies show that the method has a low false alarm rate and a high capability in isolating faults, and moreover, it is also robust with measuring noise and other uncertainties.

Luo Yangyu, Wang Dangxiao, Zhang Yuru
2004, 30(06): 539-542.
Abstract:
To improve the performance of a force interaction system, it is necessary to understand the effect of respective parameter on the system through modeling and analysis. Considering a 1\|DOF force interaction system, the human operator in the system was modeled as a combination of passive impedance and an active input, and the virtual environment was assumed to be passive. Through analogous treatment between the force interaction system and an electrical network system, two-port stable theory was used to derive the stability condition of the system. The effect of transmission stiffness on the system stability was particularly emphasized. The results provide important insight to the system performance and are applicable to the design of a force interaction systems.

2004, 30(06): 547-550.
Abstract:
Via transfer the influence of corrosive environment on fatigue life to that on detail fatigue rating equivalently, the DFR method under corrosive environment for fatigue analysis was established. The relation between the ratio of fatigue life under corrosive and normal environment and the corrosive convert coefficient of DFR was obtained by the standard S-N curve equation, thus the determination method of the convert coefficient was presented, in which the parameter c was shown to have little influence on its precision. Based on the assumption that the influence of pre-corrosion on ground and the influence of corrosion in flight are independent, a method for separation pre-corrosion and corrosion fatigue was proposed.

2004, 30(06): 551-556.
Abstract:
The outlet flowfield and static pressure on blade surfaces of the classical turbine stator cascades with straight and -10°、-20° bowed blades were measured in the linear cascade wind tunnel.

2004, 30(06): 572-576.
Abstract:
A method to solve the instability of an air-to-air missile’s attitude angle motion during its velocity pass through zero in case of that the missile fires back was proposed. The idea of the method is to increase the thrust of the missile’s booster. It results in that the velocity of the missile transforms from negative into positive quickly, and it constrains the divergent attitude angle the missile in an allowable margin. Furthermore, the attitude perturbation convergent since the missile’s attitude motion becomes stable. The qualitative analysis of the dynamic procedure of the missile’s attitude angle changing was made in the same case. The principle feasibility of the method, and the effects of the steady stability coefficient, initial perturbation of the angle of attack, initial value of back-firing velocity on the missile’s attitude motion were analyzed quantitatively by use of simulation. The results shows that the method is valid.
