Zhang Xingjuan, Li Feng, Yang Chunxin
2010, 36(9): 1009-1012.
Abstract:
The foreign advanced civil airplane cabin refrigeration system has been developed from three-wheel-bootstrap to four-wheel-bootstrap high pressure water-separation system. The traditional method used for matching the system thermal parameters was complicated. A new model for calculating the enthalpy parameters was proposed and used for the matching calculation. The gas flow ratio, fan power ratio and the turbine power ratio were introduced and their effect on system performance was analyzed. The results show that the use of enthalpy instead of temperature as the state parameter of the system accessories is of a clear physical concept, and can be easily programmed and avoid double counting of the saturated humidity of the connection points between accessories, and can also simplify the heat exchanger thermodynamic calculation and reduce the iteration times of the system. The results can provide a theoretical guidance for civil aircraft researches.

Feng Wenquan, Zhang Dezhi
2010, 36(9): 1017-1020.
Abstract:
Large Doppler offsets are inherent to direct spread spectrum signal due to high dynamic environment in low earth orbit satellite communication scenarios. Frequency offset can be dozens of kilohertz, which cause traditional acquisition approach failed to complete PN code acquisition. A part-coherent combined with FFT technique was proposed for this problem. It utilized fast Fourier transform(FFT) to compensate coherent loss resulted by frequency shifts. It simultaneously searched code phases and got Doppler offsets, thus acquisition time could be significantly reduced. Acquisition structure was given, and FFT compensate performance was analyzed. The selection of part-coherent parameters and FFT points were given. Auto adaptive threshold technical was used to realize code acquisition when input signal power varied widely. Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify that the approach can complete fast code acquisition in high Doppler shift and low signal to noise ratio environment, and take up fewer field programmable gate arrays resources.

Meng Xiangwei, Zhang Ping, Wang Ying
2010, 36(9): 1021-1025.
Abstract:
After compared with the classical Reich modal, improvements was made on an event-based aircraft collision risk model at intercepting routes, the collision risk due to possible vertical relative movement was counted for aircraft in straight and level flight. The possible reason why the horizontal collision probability derived by the event model was excessively conservative than the Reich model was analyzed. The aircraft relative position error data were generated using Monte-Carlo simulation and fitted to several probability distributions, their effects on aircraft collision risk were compared. The result shows that it is the tail data representing the gross error that decide the aircraft collision risk and no distribution functions except generalized Pareto distribution can fit the tail data well due to less amount of gross error data.

Sun Junhua, Wang Weihua, Liu Zhen, Zhang Guangjun
2010, 36(9): 1026-1029.
Abstract:
The principle of rail wear measurement based on structured-light vision was analyzed. A method for dynamically measuring rail wears in vehicle-mounted was proposed. The structured-light vision sensor was installed at the bottom of the train, and the section profile of the rail was measured. Taking rail waist as measurement benchmark, the rotation matrix and translation vector between light-plane coordinate frame and designed coordinate frame were estimated by iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, then, the rail waist profile was registered to designed profile, based on which the rail wears were calculated. Compared with previous methods, the proposed method does not need a specially vision sensor to measure the benchmark. Benchmark measurement and wear measurement are achieved with one same vision sensor. System cost is effectively reduced, and it is operable. Measurement accuracy is also guaranteed due to no need of global calibration of multi-sensor. The experimental results show that the repeatability precision of the method is high.

Fu Li, Wang Xinling, Yue Yazhou
2010, 36(9): 1030-1033.
Abstract:
To solve redundant gyros configuration problem of the strapdown inertial navigation system with redundancy technique in sensor level, a method to determine the optimal number of gyros that compose the redundant system was proposed with a view to the system reliability and cost. It was assumed that the fault of each gyro should be independent of others. To obtain the optimal gyros number, a new criterion was developed by proposing reliability function and the number making the criterion value come to maximum is the optimal gyros number. The change of criterion value was analyzed when the gyros number of redundant system was different. The results show that the redundant system reliability increases with the gyro number increasing. The system reliability improvement is limited but the cost of system increases greatly from some number of gyros. Finally, the optimal gyros number of redundant configuration is given and it is 6.

2010, 36(9): 1034-1037.
Abstract:
A theoretical rotor icing model was proposed based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique to study the tandem rotor helicopter dynamics due to icing. Considering the rotor blade ice shedding and local temperature variation on the rotor blade, another engineering rotor icing model was advanced based on the rotor icing tunnel data. The model of the tandem rotor helicopter dynamics due to icing was built and the trim characteristics of CH-47B due to icing at the hover and in the forward flight were analyzed. The effect on the rotor torque due to temperature, icing time, liquid water content and median volumetric diameter in the icing condition was computed. The agreement between the theoretical rotor icing model and the engineering method indicates that the models are feasible and effective, and they can lay the foundation of the research about the tandem helicopter dynamics in the icing condition.

Feng Lihao, Wang Jinjun, Yu Dongsheng
2010, 36(9): 1038-1042.
Abstract:
The influence of control surfaces deflection on lateral-directional characteristics of a tailless aircraft with multiple control surfaces was investigated in a wind tunnel using force measurement. Both single deflection and simultaneous deflection of elevons and flaperons have a good effect of lift increment, while all-moving tips (AMTs) deflection leads to a reduction in lift before stall. The influence law of control surfaces deflection on the yawing moment control is not significant. However, single deflection of the AMT has a better effect on the yawing moment control than elevons and flaperons. Both single positive deflection and simultaneous positive deflection of elevons and flaperons result in a negative rolling moment, and the increment is much more significant with a larger deflection angle. Elevons have a better effect on the rolling moment control than flaperons, while AMTs have little influence on the rolling moment control. Besides, the control efficiency can be improved obviously adopting simultaneous deflection compared with single deflection.

2010, 36(9): 1057-1061.
Abstract:
To meet the requirements that airline depresses initial spares cost and increases the airplane-s utilization, maximum marginal utility based optimal methods for initial spares scenario was presented. By the algorithm of Poisson distribution, items spare scenarios could be given only when the support probabilities were known. The defect of this method was that the spares scenarios may be not optimal. In order to solve this problem, the optimal model and implementing process of marginal analysis were presented, and then the spares- numbers of all parts in the item list were calculated at the same time. The initial spares scenario case was optimized by spare optimal software in the condition that either spares cost was invariable or operational availability was invariable. Cost-efficiency curves were drawn and datasheets of two optimal scenarios were got. The increase of operational availability and decrease of spares cost were discovered by comparison of data in the cost-efficiency curve. And so, the trend of spare number change was also seen by analysis of datasheets. The result shows that the optimal algorithm has wide application in initial spares scenario optimization of civil aviation.

2010, 36(9): 1080-1083.
Abstract:
To gain high user diversity and routing stability in wireless mesh network, a virtual hierarchical structure was proposed, in which the nearby nodes were aggregated to virtual cells. Nodes inside the virtual cell can communicate with each other and take the identical traffic relay functions. The bottom-level virtual hierarchical architecture is formed by node-s direct connection inside each virtual cell, while the top-level virtual hierarchical architecture is consisted of virtual cells taking in routing functions. A generalized set T-coloring model, a kind of graph coloring model, was devised for the channel assignment algorithm of this virtual hierarchical architecture. Based on virtual cells, the radio frequency interference was introduced as the optimized indicator so as to reduce wireless channel interference and maximize the channel-s utilization while maintaining network connectivity. The cell splitting strategy was utilized to improve the network capacity and the fairness of the channel assignment scheme. The validity of the proposed scheme is proven by the simulation result.

2010, 36(9): 1094-1098.
Abstract:
Precession characteristic is one of the significant properties for cone-shaped spatial target recognition. To analysis the micro-Doppler feature induced by precession, a method based on the generalized S transform was proposed. In the mathematical model of coning precession, the multi-coordinate system with the same origin was used to simplify model structure and computation complexity. Then the theoretical expression of the micro-Doppler due to precession was derived. The validity of the model was confirmed by computer simulation. Based on simulated radar data for precession cone, the generalized S transform was introduced and used to analyze the micro-Doppler feature in the condition of different signal to noise ratio (SNR). The experimental results in the joint time-frequency domain show that the method has large advantage in the time-frequency resolution, and is robust for the complicated micro-Doppler signal at low SNR.

In order to find the relationship between the change of the environment conditions and the output states of polarization, the experiments were made. The experimental data and the simulation result on the Poincare sphere are similar.

Abstract:
To improve autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)-s low velocity control performance, a control moment gyro (CMG) was introduced as the attitude control system. Taking the fluid dynamics into account, the dynamic model of AUV was built based on CMG, and a simulation and analysis on AUV-s kinematics and attitude control also was made. The results show that AUV based on CMG has high efficient maneuverability and ideal low velocity control performance. Accordingly, AUV-s kinematics and attitude control can be realized. But the SGCMG steering law used doesn-t consider the singularity avoidance. Designing high performance steering law is the farther problem. It provides foundation for the design of steering law and attitude control.

Abstract:
Based on simplified Volterra model, an approach to the simulation analysis of electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) for radio frequency (RF) receiver at behavior level was presented. Third order simplified Volterra model was adopted to analyze receiver EMS.

Take dual frequency GPS receiver interfered by continue wave as an example for in-band and out-of-band (including image frequency and intermodulation) susceptibility thresholds calculation. Simulation results show that the proposed method is not only valid and effective, but also reduces internal storage and simulation time which is suitable to RF receiver EMS analysis and practical in engineering and technology field.
