Abstract:
Basing on rheological dynamics and the real condition of landing gear, the forces that pressed on the landing gear had been simplified and MR (Magneto-rheological or Magnetically Responsive) damper model was applied on landing gear. Annular gap structure was applied on the damper, so the damp force could be easily controlled without changing the area of the gap. As a result, MR damper had many advantages, such as simple structure, small size and easy control. The landing gear system model with fuzzy controller was built and analyzed. Fuzzy controlling method had been chosen and used on the system, and the force influenced by magnetic field strength could be controlled by controlling current. Simulation results show that the energy during landing could be absorbed and consumed quickly by fuzzy control, at the same time, the predominance of applying of the MR damper on landing gear has been showed.

2007, 33(11): 1268-1272.
Abstract:
A method to calculate lifetime of debris generated from spacecraft breakup events was presented. Based on NASA standard spacecraft breakup model, a spacecraft breakup algorithm was given, which yields a set of parameters of produced fragments that can serve as input for lifetime calculation. Current space debris lifetime algorithms were summarized and a semi-analytical algorithm was developed. By means of mean element method, rate of change of semimajor axis and eccentricity of fragment were calculated, in which J2 short-period variation was considered. Differentiation-integration method was applied to propagate the semimajor axis and eccentricity forward into time. Besides, calculation step of the algorithm was constrained to cooperate with time-varying atmosphere model. The computational speed and accuracy of the lifetime algorithm was analyzed through comparisons with a numerical orbital propagator. In order to find a suitable atmosphere model for lifetime calculation, three typical atmosphere models: SA76, GOST and MSIS-00 were compared. Finally, P-78 satellite breakup event was applied to test the whole algorithm.

A Kalman filter approach was constructed to compensate the GFMIMU error in long-term working conditions, and the stability of the filter was proved using the observability analysis theory. A simulation of ISC was introduced finally, and the simulation results verify the proposed ISC can be used in micro/nano spacecrafts.

2007, 33(11): 1291-1294.
Abstract:
The normalized site attenuation (NSA) was studied during the test process. The measurement errors were mainly brought by the antenna factor, with the mutual impedance analysis. The standard method of measuring antenna factors was introduced and the mutual impedance effect was found to be neglected. The equations of traditional method were proved to be no solution. The conditions were analyzed to decrease the errors of the mutual impedance between antennas. The antenna factor was replaced by the antenna gain, and the mutual impedance effect can be avoided in the antenna gain measurement. The equivalent conditions were proved between the new method and the original method. The validity of the new method was proved by the real test results.

Zhong Ruilin, Cheng Peng
2007, 33(11): 1299-1302.
Abstract:
Algorithms of constructing reduced-order H controllers in explicit form are only applied to singular H control case. In order to apply these algorithms to nonsingular case, the matrix A of a generalized plant was divided into two parts A 0 and Δ A , then ( A 0, B 2, C 1, D 12) or ( A 0, B 1, C 2, D 21) had unstable invariant zeros. Those algorithms could be used to the changed system to get a solution ( X , Y ) that could be used to construct a reduced-order controller. Since one of three linear matrix inequalities of the initial generalized plant was changed by the change of the system matrix A , the solution ( X , Y ) must be used in the linear matrix inequality that was changed with the variation of A for the initial generalized plant to see whether it could still hold or not. If it was holden, the solution ( X , Y ) could be used to construct a reduced-order controller for the initial generalized plant. Effectiveness of the algorithm was shown by numerical examples.

Zeng Xianfa, Zhang Lei, Shen Gongzhang
2007, 33(11): 1303-1307.
Abstract:
Based on the nonlinear six degree-of-freedom missile model, the missile system was separated into four loops according to time-scale separation principle. Taking account of the fast loop and the relatively slow loop, the dynamic inversion controllers were designed in both of the two loops for decoupling control, and the robust decentralized controller was designed in the relatively slow loop to compensate the uncertainty and disturbances of the whole system. The robust decentralized controller has a simple structure and does not rely on the accurate mathematical model. Finally, the simulation results show that the closed-loop control system which is designed according to the approach achieves both good steady performance and dynamic performance, and its robust performance is also excellent.

Wang Dapeng, Liu Kai
2007, 33(11): 1308-1312.
Abstract:
Based on the concept of random contention and collision resolution, a QoS-based multiple access (QMA) protocol for Ad Hoc networks was proposed to support multimedia service and multi-hop architecture. The traffic was divided into two groups with different requirements on delay, namely real-time traffic and data (or non real-time) traffic. According to the protocol, nodes contend to access channel, and the node broadcasting the most forecast bursts (FBs) get right to access the channel according to its packet delay and the earliest deadline first (EDF) principle. Meanwhile, the nodes with real-time traffic have higher priority to access channel than those with data traffic by broadcasting FBs in earlier contention slots. Through simulations in OPNET modeler, it is shown that the QMA protocol outperforms the carrier sensing multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol in terms of throughput, message discard rate and average packet delay, and the QMA protocol can provide differentiated QoS guarantees for traffic in multi-hop networks.

Chen Lei, Chen Zongji
2007, 33(11): 1313-1316.
Abstract:
A computer-vision-based runway obstacle detection scheme for an unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) was presented. The scheme combined the advantages of the feature-based and the flow-based obstacle detection algorithms. Instead of using gradient-based method, a multi-scale optical flow estimation method based on feature point matching was adopted, which make it possible to calculate sparse optical flow field directly from image sequences. Under some relative hypothesis, obstacle on the runway could be detected even with certain navigation errors. The detection sensitivity and the stage applicable for obstacle detection were also discussed. The obstacle detection scheme can run properly on the real-time simulation system for autonomous landing of the UCAV.

2007, 33(11): 1317-1320.
Abstract:
Through analyzing the constitutive relation of the giant magnetostrictive material, the main controllable factor constituting the output displacement for giant magntostrictive actuator was discussed. Upon which to investigate the key factors of single layer and one degree of freedom isolation platform based on giant magntostrictive actuator, a model with the displacement responding to acting force of the platform as its reference input was presented. Through analyzing the vibration isolation principle with the model, the conclusion was drawn that both acting force frequency and the maximum displacement of actuator are crucial to the effect of the system, in that the system vibration isolation capacity is direct ratio to the square of acting force frequency and maximum displacement of actuator. In time-domain, simulations based on Matlab platform with adaptive LMS (least mean square) algorithm were carried out to verify the conclusion. Thus it is theoretically instructive to design a vibration isolation system with giant magnetostrictive actuator, and the model is suitable to the system with giant magnetostrictive actuators as well to the system with other kinds of actuators.

The type of malfunction cause was analyzed and ensured, and this fuzzy neural network in diagnosing the malfunction of air still press axletree has been applied. The result proves that the method is effective.

Luo Yufeng, Xu Chao, Fan Yaozu, Zhang Hai
2007, 33(11): 1329-1333.
Abstract:
The gimbal ring and drive axis is impossible to coincide with the centre axis of gyroscope completely during the assembly process. The movement equation of the dynamically tuned gyroscope considering of the disturbing of fixing tilt angle with the theoretical mechanics was set up based on the analysis of pressure on the rotor and the gimbal ring, and the discussion were also carried out. The analysis results indicate that fixing tilt angle of gyroscope and gimbal ring have influence on the tuned condition of dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG), and the disturbing torque is unrelated with the state of motion however it is related with the active force of torquer to rotor. Thus, it is better to have the centre axis of gyroscope coincided with the gimbal ring and drive axis to reduce the influence to the dynamically tuned gyroscope.

Zhang Xiaoning, Wang Yan, Fu Yongling
2007, 33(11): 1334-1339.
Abstract:
The open loop gain and some parameters are different on the two moving directions of symmetric valve controlling asymmetric cylinder system. This difference leads to dynamic performance asymmetry on the two moving directions. The natural nonlinear and asymmetric system is difficult to control. The last three joints of PБ-211 robot are controlled by symmetric valve controlling asymmetric cylinder system. To make the robot moving smoothly and improve the control precision, the control system must have proper compensation. After analyzing the asymmetric cylinder and taking the difference of protrusion and retraction into account, a new control algorithm, model reference self-tuning gain adaptive algorithm, was put forward. The new algorithm includes adaptive single neuron PID, model reference adaptive algorithm and self-tuning output gain. Simulations and experiments illustrate that the new control algorithm can compensate the asymmetric cylinder system, which is better than the command PID algorithm.

2007, 33(11): 1345-1348.
Abstract:
Identification of structural parameters by using observation data with noise in time domain was studied. Autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model of a vibrating structure was established, and the identification problem of structural parameters was transformed into the identification problem of parameters of ARMA model. Based on the assumption of the unknown-but-bounded (UBB) noise, an interval algorithm for set-membership identification of parameters of linear time-invariant system was used to seek the minimal hyper-rectangle (or interval vector) of parameters, which is compatible with the measurements and the bounded noise, so that the structural parameters can be obtained. The numerical example illustrates its feasibility and effectiveness in comparison with the least squares algorithm.

2007, 33(11): 1349-1352.
Abstract:
The surface free energies and their dispersion/polar components of basalt and glass fiber were investigated using dynamic contact angle analysis. According to Fowkes′ and Good′s theory,by making use of the contact angle values for monofiber surfaces and standard liquids with known values of surface energy,surface free energy values as well as their components of both fibers were evaluated. It was found that the surface free energy of sized basalt fiber was higher than sized S-2 glass fiber while the polar component of both fibers tended to decrease without sizing; the liquid polarity also influenced the quantity of polar interactions as well as the quantity of dispersion interactions. These results indicate that sizing on the fiber improves wettability and interface adhesion between fibers and resin in fiber reinforced composites.

2007, 33(11): 1358-1361.
Abstract:
The influence of different kinds of solution immersion on the properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry curves (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The relationship between electrochemical parameters and corrosion degradation of composites was discussed. Results show that the reaction resistance decreases and double layer capacitance increases with the increase of immersion time. The electrochemical parameters changes obtained from the acidic and alkaline probe solutions are more obviously than those obtained from the neutral probe solutions. Results indicate that the change of electrochemical parameters can reflect the corrosion degradation of composites, and electrochemical parameters can be used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites.

2007, 33(11): 1367-1370.
Abstract:
The traditional electronic-police system cannot adapt well to the requirements of enormous data in terms of compute speed, network-transport speed and storage capacity due to its excessive dependence on single server. Based on Web Service technology, the E-Police system architecture contained cluster-servers of peer-to-peer industrial computers and single back-end client. The compute service, storage service and query service were introduced. The implement of three services was the core of incompact E-Police system, which carried out the work by cluster-servers to increase the resource utilization. A integrated management scheme of assignment, resource and data flow was implemented depending on the preparation, release and establishment of Web Service, which resolved the imbalance among system compute performance, storage capacity and quality of the image.

Jin Yi, Shen Zengwei, Zhou Gang
2007, 33(11): 1371-1377.
Abstract:
In IP network, general physical topology discovery algorithms are based on the network devices- AFT (address forward tables) which are obtained through SNMP (simple network management protocol). Unfortunately, the results of such algorithms are usually not exact or correct in practical networks for many factors. To solve this problem, a new physical topology discovery algorithm based on the traffics- characteristic was proposed. First, interface-s input rate and output rate were considered as random variables, and the linear correlation function of two rates was difined. Secondly it was proved that the correlation function of the rates of two interfaces which connect each other directly had the max value. Then the topology discovery algorithm was proposed based on the previous conclusion. The algorithm could achieve a most likelihood result based on the rates- linear correlation. At last, the algorithm was tested in a practical network.
Ring artifact correction for industrial CT images
Li Junjiang, Hu Shaoxing, Li Baolei, Yang Min
2007, 33(11): 1378-1382.
Abstract:
Ring artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images are introduced by imperfect pixel channel in a detector. Ring artifacts degrade the CT image, hamper post processing and prohibit quantitative analysis. A set of algorithms that enable virtually complete ring artifact correction were proposed. Correction for pixel channel response nonuniformity was that offset and gain correction were done to compensate for response nonuniformity in the detector. Correction for projection sinogram data was that the vertical line artifacts in the sonogram were removed by a computationally efficient filter. Correction for already-reconstructed images was that the ring artifacts in the Cartesian coordinate were transformed into the vertical line artifacts in the polar coordinate and removed as sonogram correction. The procedures were created to deal with data acquired from an YXLON XRS232 9″ image intensifier. Ring artifacts were reduced significantly with minimal to negligible contamination of the underlying data.
