2005, 31(03): 265-269.
Abstract:
The special space exploration rocket is launched to rendezvous with the celestial body flying around earth, the absolute velocity of rocket should be zero at rendezvous time in order to satisfy the observe requirement. The ideal rendezvous orbit was designed before launch based on the orbit of the celestial body and launch site. The orbit parameters were loaded to onboard computer of rocket. After launch, the inertial navigation system was used to measure the rocket position and velocity, the thruster fire direction was adjusted try to eliminate the flight orbit errors. The several coordinated was defined and rocket orbit dynamical equation was created. The ideal rendezvous time, launch time and rendezvous point in space were studied. The trajectory control logic given during the thruster force is available. The error signal is decomposed into time error, altitude error, north-south error and east-west error in local horizontal frame. Position and velocity shift can be set to reduce the orbit drift caused by perturbation. The feasibility of control logic is verified by computer numerical simulation.

Wu Zhigang, Hui Junpeng, Yang Chao
2005, 31(03): 270-273.
Abstract:
A hierarchical solution process for thermal flutter analysis is presented to dealing with the aero-thermo-elastic dynamic problems of hypersonic wings. Firstly, the natural dynamic characteristics of structures under thermal circumstances were analyzed. And then the hypersonic unsteady aerodynamics were calculated by using van Dyke piston theory. Finally the flutter equations were solved by p-k method. Numerical calculation and comparison are executed on two wings, one was an all-moved rudder, another was a low aspect-ratio wing with root fixed. The results illustrate that both the natural dynamics and the flutter characteristics of wings may vary duo to aerodynamic heating. Especially for the low aspect-ratio wing with root fixed, as the results of the thermal effect, its torsional stiffness decrease greatly, and so the bending-torsion flutter critical speed declines sharply.

Xie Jinrui, Wu Songping, Wang Hao
2005, 31(03): 274-277.
Abstract:
An error matching principle, which is base on the error analysis of the computations with high-aspect-ratio grids, is derived for the finite difference simulation of the viscous boundary layer flows. The high- aspect-ratio grids were commonly used in numerical simulations of the viscous boundary layer flows and the main calculation error was always correlated to the aspect ratio of the grids. The principle above could be used to keep the same degree of the calculation error in spatial directions respectively. The error matching principle given was verified by the numerical simulation of the hypersonic flows over a blunt-cone. The flow field and the surface heat transfer rate were calculated in the numerical simulation. The results show that the error matching principle is great benefit to generate optimal grids. The optimal grids followed the error matching principle can minimize the error and improve the computational efficiency. At the same time, the accurate calculation of flow field and the surface heat transfer rate are benefited from the match of errors.

Lü Mingyun, Mingyun Wu, Qu Weilian
2005, 31(03): 288-292.
Abstract:
The sudden stiffness change on the top of tube towers of ship lifts caused the intensive seismic whipping effect to the top machinery building. To suppress the whipping effect, a roof MRD (magnetorhelogical damper) isolation system were presented. The structure model of ship lifts and MRD isolation system designed, the shaking table tests were carried on a ship lifts structure model with and without the roof MRD respectively. The dynamic characteristics and the responses were compared for these two shaking model. Test results show that the roof MRD isolation system changed the dynamic characteristics of the model structure, the proposed control system is quite valid in reducing seismic responses of top building of the model structure. The validity of the numerical model and analysis method for roof MRD isolation system were verified by the comparisons between the results of the shaking table tests and numerical analysis.
Development of a reaction-diffusion model for erosion and identification of the associated diffusion coefficient
Wang Hengyu, Lee Chunhian
2005, 31(03): 293-297.
Abstract:
It was proposed that the adsorption (including both physical and chemical) was the principal mechanism for AO(atomic oxygen) in LEO(low earth orbit) interactingwith surface materials. The remaining secondary physical or chemical mechanisms could be included into the principal mechanism. The reaction-diffusion equation of erosion could thus be constructed. In addition, with the aid of the classical theory of collision dynamics molecules, one could verify that the physical erosion term in the reaction-diffusion equation happened to be higher order and could be neglected. The diffusion coefficient followed from Eyring’s theory of absolute rates. Numerical simulations of AO effects over the space material Kapton were conducted to validate the model. The numerical results on thickness losses and a 2-D undercutting of Kapton in LEO environment were presented. The simulation results fit NASA’s flight test data well within a proper error range.

Xue Wei, Huai Jinpeng
2005, 31(03): 298-302.
Abstract:
An extended RBAC(role based access control) model, RTBAC (role & task based access control) model was presented. The model introduced the notions of task and task instance into RBAC96 model, formally defined the hierarchies of tasks and task instances, specified the relationships between traditional sessions and task instances as well as the relationships between task instances and permissions. Several assistant functions were defined. The model could be used to depict daily business procedures and related access control policies more naturally, so was more suitable for distributed collaborative applications, especially for workflows and service compositions. Based on this model, a new dynamic separation of duty constraint, namely task-based dynamic separation of duty constraint,was formally defined and compared with traditional dynamic separation of duty constraints using a typical example. The new constraint can specify access control related system runtime context more accurately. It can increase the efficiency of access control at runtime.

Tang Hailong, Zhu Zhili, Luo Anyang, Zeng Yuanjiang
2005, 31(03): 303-306.
Abstract:
Problem caused by low Reynold’s number is one of main factors affect performance of high altitude endurance unmaned vehicle engines. Effects of low Reynold’s number on a small high bypass turbofan engine were discussed.The effects can make the performance of the engine’s components change when Reynold’s number decrease to some extend. Inlet blade chord Reynold’s Number of booster and low pressure turbine is lower than that of other components of the engine, and will be affected strongly with flight altitude increase and flight velocity decrease. The reduction of engine’s performance is due to component performance decline and engine re-match resulting from low Reynold’s effects on component performance. Not only efficiency of component, but also reduction of component’s mass flow, lead to the performance degradation of the engine. The rotator speed reduction (because of turbine inlet total temperature’s limit) enhances the low Reynold’s effects and hence reducing engine’s performance, engine thrust decrease rapidly, but increase of engine bypass ratio partly compensate the rise of specific fuel consumption caused by the component performance decline.

Jiang Hong, Wu Lijiang
2005, 31(03): 321-325.
Abstract:
A novel image denoising algorithm based on the bi-spectral reconstruction was proposed. The basic idea of this new algorithm was:higher order statistics was not sensitive to the Gaussian noise. First of all, this new algorithm would calculate the higher order spectrum of the image, and theoretically this higher order spectrum would not include the Gaussian noise any more. Secondly, it would reconstruct the amplitude and phase information of this processed image by the higher order spectrum. Finally, it would get the denoised image by transforming to the spatial domain. This new algorithm was the algorithm of transformation and reconstruction in higher order spectrum. Simulation results and analysis indicate that this new algorithm could solve the contradiction between reducing noise and reserving the image detail so that in views of both visual quality and quantitative analysis, the new algorithm is better than the median-value filtering algorithm and the higher order cumulant algorithm.

Yang Feng, Ding Li, Yang Chunxin, Yuan Xiugan
2005, 31(03): 326-330.
Abstract:
It is usually requested that astronauts move from one worksite to another during the extravehicular activity. An efficient and robust technique for generating global motion path for moving astronauts in the working environment utilizing heuristic search algorithm, A* algorithm, was proposed. Initially, the working space was discretized to some cells with specific volume and physical dimension. An obstacle-free cell path according to Manhattan metric was generated between any two cells. This path was planned based on the criterion that ensures the path was the shortest one amongst many feasible paths. A practical path was planned for a common extravehicular activity in which the astronaut moved from a module to another through an aisle by means of consecutive handrails. The planned path can provide some guidelines for designing the installation site of handrails in order to reduce the working time, lower astronaut energy consumption, and promote the operating efficiency of extravehicular activity.

Abstract:
When the silicon resonant pressure micro-sensor works in the self-oscillation close-loop system with thermal-excited and resistor detected, its output has a problem of dreadfully weak signal of micro-sensor. SNR( signal noise ratio) is as low as 10-3, for the system used frequency-equaled signal to excite micro-sensor to get its syntony, as well caused the damaging coupling disturbance. PLL(phase-locked loop) principle and frequency-divided technique were used to design the double closed-loop control circuit of micro-sensor to avoid those. Micro-sensor worked in the outside loop and PLL made the inside loop. The frequency output of micro-sensor had frequency-equaled exciting signal and duple frequency true signal, after multilevel power amplification multiplied duple frequency output of PLL to achieve frequency dividing, adjusting the system state parameters made closed-loop available and phase locking. Results show that the closed-loop system of micro-sensor works effectively based PLL principle and frequency-divided technique and the low SNR gets developed.

Yan Xiaojun, Zhang Yuzhu, Nie Jingxu
2005, 31(03): 351-354.
Abstract:
The SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics) was applied to simulate the problems in Whipple structure hypervelocity impact. In modeling the structure, the SPH and FEM(finite element method) discretizations were used simultaneously to reduce the CPU time, and this was very convenient and advantageous in practical engineering design when more CPU time consuming. SPH nodes were employed to model the area where the deformation was larger and likely to be perforated by the projectile. FEM nodes were employed to model the area with small deformation. The calculation results indicate that the fist bumper was perforated and the main wall cratered. Those results were compared with the test results from the literature and indicated fairly good agreement with each other. It demonstrates that SPH method is helpful and efficient in understanding the hypervelocity impact phenomena and fracture mechanism in the space debris hypervelocity impact problem.

Ding Nenggen, Pan Weimin, Liu Zhuqing
2005, 31(03): 355-358.
Abstract:
A method was investigated to select proper damping coefficients of the damper used for the leaf spring suspension, based on the analysis of the influence of leaf springs' hesteresis behavior on vehicle’s riding on different kinds of roads. Based on a quarter vehicle model, the root of mean squared acceleration of sprung mass was analyzed on different grades of roads with and without consideration of leaf springs' hysteresis behavior. The model was solved in time domain due to its nonlinearities. Both randomly produced road data and a group of real road data were used as inputs of the model. Results show the hysteresis behavior is more harmful to vehicle’s riding comfort on a high quality road than on a poor quality road, and therefore the damping coefficients of dampers should be selected according to road grades. For vehicles with leaf spring suspensions, the dampers’ damping ratios for jounce travel should be 0.1~0.2 and that for rebound travel be 0.2~0.3.

2005, 31(03): 359-362.
Abstract:
A new wettablity instrument was developed according to the fabrication characteristic of composites, which could measure the mass increase in fibres penetrated by resins. The instrument was composed of two parts. One was the wicking mass testing system and the other was a temperature-controlled system. It could measure the capillary impregnation of liquids in the fibre bundles with various fibre volume fractions under different temperatures. The instrument was evaluated and adjusted. Based on this, the wetting of resins in glass fibres and carbon fibres were studied. Effects of the type of fibres, the viscosity of resins and the fibre volume fraction on wicking behaviour were also investigated. The results show that this instrument provides a convenient tool for studying on wettability of the reinforced fibres probe by the resin matrix, which is valuable for guiding parameters in the process of composites.

Zhong Ruilin, Cheng Peng
2005, 31(03): 363-366.
Abstract:
The structure character of system transfer matrices can be used to solve a class of singular H control problem and a reduced order H controller can be constructed in explicit form either by linear matrix inequations method or two algebra Riccati equation method. The order of the system H controller can further be reduced by use of system unstable invariant zeros. Based on two algebra Riccati equation method especially the structure of the system Hamilton matrix and system observability theory, the role of invariant zeros in constructing system reduced order controllers was given. That is, by the suitable selection of free parameters of the system H controller, some points which were symmetry with the unstable invariant zeros about the imaginary axis became the stable poles of the system controller which were not observable and could be reduced from the system, thus could get further reduced order controller.
On convergence of formula for forward problem in brain physics
Chen Guo, Li Jing, Wei Chen, Lü Junfang
2005, 31(03): 367-371.
Abstract:
In brain physics, the forward problem is the process of predicting scalp potentials distribution from known brain electrical source. The convergence of a forward problem algorithm was analyzed and proved through mathematic method for the first time. This formula calculated the scalp potentials distribution of the three layers concentric sphere head model caused by single dipole located at any point within the model. The convergence was further confirmed by numeric simulation. Thus the finite progression could be used to calculate the scalp potentials distribution in stead of the infinitive progression in a certain error range. A study on the convergence speed was conducted too. The result gives a theoretic guarantee for the finite approximation of the formula that is an infinite series. The approximation provides a useful tool for the backward problem, which is the process of predicting brain electrical source from known scalp potentials.

Li Yunze, Wei Chuanfeng, Yuan Lingshuang, Wang Jun
2005, 31(03): 372-374.
Abstract:
Modeling and simulation of controlled-object temperature changes are necessary for developing satellite thermal control system. In order to calculate the dynamical properties of satellite thermal control system more easily, the whole satellite was divided into five lumped thermal control nodes, which included satellite's outer surface, heat radiator, indoor environment, key electrical equipment and phase change device. The heat transfer relationship between different nodes and temperature change properties of each part was carefully considered during the node dividing process. Mathematical models for temperature changes of each thermal control node were built and presented. With these dynamical models above, the key temperature changes of satellite, causing by either indoor heat source disturbs or outer side space heat flux varieties, could be calculated more simply and conveniently than using the common unsteady temperature field calculating method. This satisfies the stringent demand of thermal control system's control strategy optimization and its simulation. It's especially useful in developing active thermal control systems.
