KONG De-liang, WANG Shao-ping
2002, 28(2): 129-132.
Abstract:
An availability analysis method for repairable system i.e. Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis(DFTA) was presented .To achieve high reliability and availability, redundant hardware and fault-tolerant software associated with dynamic process, time sequence, backup and failure recovery were adopted in the computer control system. Combing DFTA method and Markov model for repairable system, the dynamic process of a fault-tolerant system and the repairable process can be easily described. To calculate the equivalent failure rate, recovery rate and availability of top event of a complicated system, it is necessary to divide the system into several subtrees which can treated with Markov model. Recurrent, the availability parametes from top to down can achieve the availability analysis for the complicated system.

JIANG Yu-xian, CUI Jing
2002, 28(2): 133-136.
Abstract:
Effectiveness of weaving maneuver strategy of a missile when it passes through a Missile-Defence-System(MDS) is addressed. A linearized planar engagement model is used. Closed form solutions for the miss distance of interceptor are derived from the case where the interceptor's guidance system is modeled by a first-order lag and the maneuver acceleration is unlimited. The miss solutions consist of two components, one is the transient, the other is the steady. The effectiveness is measured in terms of the break-defence probability over a set of engagements in which the weaving-durations are normally distributed around its desired value. Comparisons are made between the effectiveness of the transient and the steady weaving maneuver strategy .

XIONG Jun-jiang, SHANG Da-jing, GUO Ai-min
2002, 28(2): 137-140.
Abstract:
According to the wavelet transformation theory, a diagnose method for helicopters is established, including the order number of the wavelet decomposition and reconstruction, the noise signal decomposition, the separate signal reconstruction and 1/3 times frequency calculation. Since this method is with the high distinguishability for the low frequency signal and easy to reconstruct, it is fit for the noise signal separation of helicopter. By this method, the simulating noise signals are separated, and the separated signals are compared with the original signals, then it is found that the error between the separated signal and the original signal is lower than 2.3 percent. Moreover, on the basis of this method, the noise signals of the main rotor and tail rotor recorded from an AS350 helicopter are separated. It is shown that this diagnose method can be used to treat the non-stationary noise signals and separate the noise signals of the main rotor and tail rotor of the helicopter.

NI Nan, SU Guo-bin, LI Zheng, LIU Jian-sheng
2002, 28(2): 144-148.
Abstract:
The amplitude-frequency characteristic of transmission function of APD GaAsFET analog optic receiver is usually nonideal in stopband. For this reason, the output Signal Noise Ratio(SNR) is often lowered. A method is proposed to analyze and calculate the lowered output SNR caused by the nonideal stopband characteristic. A quantitative relation is established using a low-band filter, which helps to improve the output SNR. The output noise formula of this paper is universally applicable to APD-GaAsFET analog optic receiver.

ZHAO Li-bin, ZHANG Jian-yu, WANG Shou-mei
2002, 28(2): 153-156.
Abstract:
A Taylor series method for solving nonlinear structural dynamics problems where nonlinear items can be expressed as a polynomial with multiple variables was established. Different from existing methods, the Taylor series method satisfies governing equations in continuous intervals rather than at discrete time instants or in an average form. It solves dynamics problems through a sequence of recursions of Taylor expansion coefficients, without the necessity of solving simultaneous equations. The method was compared with the Runge-Kutta method through solving classical equations of Duffing, Van der Pol and the free vibration equation of two DOFs with quadratic nonlinear items. Numerical results indicated that the proposed Taylor series method is an excellent alternative for solving the aforementioned nonlinear dynamics problems.

A method to simplify fuzzy logic system (FLS) structure was presented based on rule sensitivity. With introducing the concept of rule sensitivity, a new function was constructed and added into objective function to get a penalty function.In this way, a new performance index was obtained. Then, fuzzy logic system parameters were modified by optimizing the performance index. On the above basis, as many as possible sensitivities can be approximated to zero, while keeping outputs of the fuzzy logic system approximate to the desire ones. Finally, the fuzzy logic system was simplified by eliminating those rules with approximately zero sensitivities. The efficiency of the method was verified by simulation results.

Using the model of logarithmic normal random variables to describe crack propagation processes, a reliability-life curve is presented for the structures with multiple cracks under corrosive environment, by considering the influences of the air during corrosion flight and the randomicity of crack propagation. A numerical example is given to prove the validity of the proposed method.

2002, 28(2): 205-207.
Abstract:
Based on stress-strength interference model, calculation formula of reliability and mean safety coefficients and their relationships are derived, corresponding to different distributions of stress and strength. Through practical calculations it is shown that, when the distributions of stress and strength are subordinated to normal distribution or others, the value of mean safety coefficients is about the same, though the value of reliability is quite different. It is safer for common components to use normal distribution, and it is more exact for very important components to use logarithmic normal distribution or Weibull distribution.

2002, 28(2): 208-212.
Abstract:
In the present scheme, an integer wavelet transform algorithm with modified set partitioning in hierarchical trees(SPIHT) coder was introduced to compress images. RS, symbol interleaves and trellis coded modulation(TCM) with multi-level quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) were used to get an excellent forward error correcting ability. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) scheme was adopted to improve spectrum efficiency and to decrease the average power. Bit error probability of the scheme was analyzed. The scheme was shown to possess higher compression rate, stronger progressive transmission ability, better numeration efficiency and more excellent error-resilience. Together with a performance of multi-path resilience and echo resilience, the above advantages make the proposed scheme compliant with pilotless aircraft conditions and feasible in practice.

By the computer testes, it was demonstrated that the proposed system has an obviously higher processing rate and PSNR than JPEG method within a fixed range of compression ratio.

Based on heterodyne and vector analysis theories, origins and modes of the frequency mixing error and phase jump error were analyzed. On the above basis, procedures to improve the accuracy of the measurement system were suggested. It was demonstrated that the precision of the laser heterodyne measurement system can be improved to nanometer orders.
