2005, 31(04): 381-384.
Abstract:
Utilizing low power consumption and low-cost development performance of CMOS(complementary metal oxide semiconductor) image sensor technology, a novel CMOS star sensor image collection system was designed. Consisting of FPGA(field programmable gates arrays), SRAM and parallel ports, it can accomplish the collection, save and output of star image.

Zhang Chong, Luo Xiang, Xu Guoqiang, Tao Zhi
2005, 31(04): 385-388.
Abstract:
Radial distribution of the static pressure at stator surface was measured in a rotor-stator disk cavity with centric inflow and two outflows. Cooling air enters at the center of the system and leaves through the holes in the rotor and clearance between rotor and shroud. The influences of disk rotational speed, mass flow rate of inlet and presence of the blade-cooling holes on the flow characteristics in the cavity were investigated. Results show that, within the ranges of the experiments, the static pressure on the stator firstly decreases and then increases along the radial direction. Static pressure is also increasing with the cooling air flow rate, but decreasing as the disk rotational speed and the numbers of blade-cooling holes increase. When the cooling air flow rate is greater, there is no an obvious core fluid rotation formed in the cavity.

Tian Shuqing, Tao Zhi, Ding Shuiting, Xu Guoqiang
2005, 31(04): 393-396.
Abstract:
To investigate the instability of flow in rotating cavities, the flow in a heated rotating cavity with cool air axial throughflow was numerically studied, based on the time-independent incompressible equations in rotating system, and low Reynolds K-ε turbulent model. The flows in the cavity, affected either by the Coriolis force, by the centrifugal-buoyancy force, or by both of these two forces were calculated. The results show that the Coriolis force acting as a resilience force does not lead to flow vibrating; the centrifugal-buoyancy force is the key factor causing flow instable, the Rayleigh_Benard convection flow induced by the centrifugal-buoyancy force is blended with the forced convection flow in the cavity, and it develops from stable to unstable as buoyancy force increases. With the coaction of these two forces the flow instability is enhanced, cyclonic and anti-cyclonic circulations can be observed circumferentially.

Li Tinghe, Yan Chao, Li Yuejun
2005, 31(04): 402-406.
Abstract:
To solve the problem in generation of overlapping grids in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) automatically, the main characteristics and basic flow of the newly emerged cut-paste algorithm which generates overlapping grids by cutting and pasting hole fronts were investigated. The promising advantages of this algorithm were introduced, yet two main disadvantages were putted forth. In the conventional algorithm, one may gets failed in the judgement of attributes of hole-mapping cells when walls are not closed totally. It is a big obstacle toimplement of this algorithm in many applications. The undesired "orphan" cells may occur when hole boundaries expand out during the cut phase. Enhancements were made on these aspects to improve this algorithm. The new attribute judgement method for hole-mapping cells was considered and an additive step after cut phase was employed. These improvements were found to be effective, and the modified algorithm was extended to the application of self-adapted grid and DRAGON grid generation. Several complicated examples were also included to demonstrate that this algorithm becomes more stable, more automatic, and also more suitable in large applications.
Time domain Neal-Smith criterion and PIO prediction
Ning Guodong, Fang Zhenping
2005, 31(04): 407-411.
Abstract:
A quantitative criterion named time domain Neal-Smith criterion(TDNS) for the evaluation of pilot-induced oscillations (PIO) tendencies in fixed-wing aircraft has been developed. The criterion is formulated in the time-domain to permit evaluation of flight control nonlinearities without assumption or compromise, and explicitly mirrors the frequency-domain Neal-Smith flying qualities criterion through the development of time-domain replicates to the frequency-domain criterion parameters. Category I and II PIO were predicted using TDNS, which is essentially based on the relationship of acquisition time and error signal of the pitch angle tracking in the closed-loop system, based on a certain fighter. The effects of rate limiting to prediction results were analyzed and a method of TDNS calculation was got, in which the root-mean squared pitch tracking error after the acquisition time and its second derivative metric are proposed as a direct indicator of PIO propensity. The results show the method is available, illustrative and efficient.

Abstract:
The research of structural fuzzy reliability theory is to set up a model for structural fuzzy reliability analysis just considering the defining fuzzy safety state. Based on the existed theory for structural fuzzy reliability analysis, a model for structural fuzzy reliability analysis accounting interval fuzziness of random parameter was presented. Thinking about the randomness and the interval fuzziness of structural parameter, the conception and expression of fuzzy probability density function was put forward. The type and method of selecting membership function of random parameter was given. A model for structural fuzzy reliability analysis accounting both interval fuzziness of random and defining fuzzy safety state was set up. The compatibility between the model for fuzzy reliability analysis and the random reliability analysis model was discussed. A example was given to verify the validity of the method. The result of the research shows that the method for structural fuzzy reliability can more completely utilize the structural parameter information.

Pei Baoqing, Han Xianguo, Chen Wuyi
2005, 31(04): 421-424.
Abstract:
The direct kinematics problem of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator is difficult and there is usually not a unique solution. Different methods of handling the direct kinematics problem were discussed. Two common approaches to find the solution directly are using an iterative numerical procedure or using the extra sensors. Two types of extra sensors can be used, rotary and linear, but they are used in different configurations. The accuracy and complexity of the computations for the direct kinematics vary with different configurations of the sensors. Purpose is to determine how to add sensors to the manipulators, and find their number and their location, together with the procedure to get the posture of the platform. A simple configuration of the sensors was proposed together with the procedure to get the posture of the mobile platform. With the length of the 6 links and 4 rotary sensors or 3 linear sensors, posture of the mobile platform can be determined uniquely.
Orthogonal direction algorithm for global function optimization
He Linshu, Liu Gang
2005, 31(04): 425-429.
Abstract:
A global optimization algorithm for function optimization named "orthogonal direction algorithm" was raised . This algorithm uses 3 times of large ranged orthogonal design to find the approximate location of the global optimization solution and then uses several times of small ranged orthogonal design to make precise approach. In each times of orthogonal design, the experimental points which detect the design space are generated according to the orthogonal table around a central point and the range of the design variables decrease gradually. After each times of orthogonal design, one-dimension search is also employed to improve search precision, the search direction is determined by the central point and the best(or worst) design points. This algorithm need less times of objective function calculation and is easy to make program. Two numerical optimization problem and a trajectory optimization problem of a rocket-powered horizontal-launched single-stage-to-orbit vehicle were solved to test this algorithm. These examples show when the peak of the objection function is less than the number of experimental points provided by the orthogonal table, "orthogonal direction algorithm" can often find the global optimization solution with small calculation.

2005, 31(04): 430-433.
Abstract:
Corrosion resistance, airproof property and oilproof property of aircraft conduit connector of Cd-electroplated 45# steel were studied by a conduit connector corrosion experiment system at simulated service environment. Cd-electroplated 45# steel was placed in the solution of 6% NaCl at 90±5℃ for 5 minutes and then in the air at 60±5℃ for 25 minutes. This process was cycled for 200 times. The behaviors of surface corrosion and stress corrosion of the connectors were evaluated and the corrosion mechanism was investigated. It was not found that 45# steel was corroded in No.10 fuel. Only slight corrosion was found on the surface of 45# steel at simulated service environment. It was shown that the Cd-electroplated layer as anode plating layer on 45# steel has excellent protection to the matrix metal. The result of the experiment under the bending stress of 0.85σs indicated that the Cd-coated 45# steel has good corrosion resistance to SCC. Galvanic corrosion of LF2-M coupled with 45# steel was investigated. It was found that the galvanic current of the couple of LF2-M coupled with 45# steel is very low. The mean galvanic corrosion current is 0.185μA/cm2. It was demonstrated that the conduit of LF2-M and its connector of 45# steel can be coupled safely.

Zhao Guowei, Huang Hai, Xia Renwei
2005, 31(04): 434-438.
Abstract:
With dSPACE system and developed piezoelectric ceramic actuators, an adaptive truss shaped as a triangular prism was constructed as a testbed in this work. The first order natural frequency of the truss is as low as 5Hz. With the feedback signals from accelerometers on different locations of the structure, and using linear quadratic Gaussian controller based on finite element method model and parameter modification through test, the experiments and simulations of vibration control were conducted. The results show that compared to the situation without control, the vibrating amplitude of the controlled adaptive truss under an exciting with fixed frequency can be damped more than 90%, and the sustained time of vibration after disturbance can be decreased over 80% with the proposed optimal control method. The configuration of testbed is verified to be reasonable, and also the property of actuators and control modeling are valid. In simulation and experiment, the vibrating amplitudes are decreased to same value, and the difference of amplitudes decreasing processes are illuminated by the contrast of exciting processes.

2005, 31(04): 443-446.
Abstract:
Fibre channel is a computer communication protocol designed to meet many requirements related to the ever increasing demand for high performance information transfer. Arbitrated loop is one of basic fibre channel topology. To guarantee message deadlines for the whole message set, the real-time characteristics of fibre channel arbitrated loop was studied. A real-time system is required to complete its work and deliver its services on a timely basis. The periodic task model is a well-known deterministic workload. With its various extensions, the model characterizes accurately many traditional hard real-time applications. A simple operational definition was adopted. The job is a hard real-time job. Theuser requires the validation that the system always meet the timing constraints.Under the access fairness algorithm of arbitrated loop,a bandwidth allocation scheme based on the traffic load balance of each node was proposed. The bound of the worst case achievable utilization for the scheme was derived and formally proved.

Chen Jingquan, Er Lianjie, Liu Zhenghua, Wu Yunjie
2005, 31(04): 447-450.
Abstract:
Position measurement methods by use of phase detection and amplitude detection based on inductosyns are not suitable for high speed and high accuracy position measurement for the defects of operation principle. To solve the problem of measuring position accurately at high speed, a novel position measurement method based on inductosyns was given, which makes use of amplitude fine division means. The inductosyn’s output signal is an amplitude modulation signal and its amplitude is small. To use the amplitude fine division method, the inductosyn’s output signal should be amplified with no distortion. After showing the operation principle, a block diagram of the position measurement system was given. Experiment and simulation of function circuits was performed. The results prove that this method cancels the effect of the dynamic variables in the inducting signals out of inductosyns on position measurement, overcomes the shortage of current methods which can only measure position with low accuracy and low speed, can measure position with high accuracy, equal time interval in high speed moving conditions, etc.

2005, 31(04): 451-454.
Abstract:
As semi-structured data, XML brings some problems in the normalization of Native XML Database data schema. To solve the problems, the method of combination of xml structure information and xml data information was proposed, and by using this method the concept xml functional dependency was defined. The concept of xml schema path, xml tree node path and the formalization of a validated xml document were studied. On the basis of these concepts, the definition of tree tuple and equation of tree tuple were constructed. As a result, the definition of xml functional dependency was proposed on the basis of above-mentioned concepts. The inference rules about xml functional dependency includes reflectivity, augmentation and transitivity were proved to deduce the implication of xml functional dependency in a given sets. The rules were proved right. Our work provides some theory basis of the normalization of native XML database data schema, and also enhances the semantic of xml data.

Pei Xu, Ma Dongli
2005, 31(04): 455-458.
Abstract:
To ravel the application range and some noticeable problems of the earth’s equivalent radius method during using this model to simply calculate the atmospheric refraction of radio waves, the mapping relationships of the variables between the earth’s equivalent radius model and the original earth model were derived from the definition of the earth’s equivalent radius method. The calculation results show that the height, elevation and range of ray is equal in the two models, geocentric angle keeps a rate about 3/4 in the equivalent procedure. The height, elevation and range of a radar ray in the earth’s equivalent radius model can be directly used to replace the relevant parameters in the original earth model. The Geocentric angle should be avoided as possible. Two samples were given to discuss the cases when the geocentric angle must be used, as well as the results and error analyses.

Yang Liman, Li Yunhua, Yuan Haibin
2005, 31(04): 464-467.
Abstract:
The chattering and robustness issues of the existing sliding mode control especially second-order sliding mode (SOSM) control algorithms were analyzed. Aiming at the problems of slower convergence and stronger chattering in the nearly time-optimal SOSM control law, an improved control method was developed for the affine nonlinear systems through redesigning restrictive conditions and modifying reaching acceleration of sliding mode, which can effectively enhance responding speed of second-order sliding mode, as well as reduce the frequency and amplitude of chattering without losing the robustness of system. Taking a pendulum model as example, the simulation studies on the proposed algorithm were carried out, simultaneously comparing with the first-order exponential reaching law and the Lyapunov function-based SOSM control law. The simulative results demonstrate that the improved nearly time-optimal SOSM control law is appropriate for the uncertain nonlinear systems, and has the relative advantages on the aspects of chattering reduction and rapid response.

Deng Youqi, Yan Chao, Wu Xiaojun, Zheng Ming
2005, 31(04): 477-480.
Abstract:
In order to investigation of the jet interaction for finned bodies, the interaction between a lateral jet and the supersonic external flow was investigated numerically by solving the N-S equation. To model more exactly the nozzle geometry and resolve the complex flow associated with the lateral jet problem,the multi-block point matched grid generation technique and "O" type grid technique were applied. The detailed numerical simulation for a variety of missile geometries in the supersonic flow was performed. These include nonfinned axisymmetrical bodies and finned bodies with either strakes or aft-mounted tail fins. The computations were performed at Mach numbers 2 and 4.5. The computational results show significant interactions of the jet induced flowfield with the fin surfaces that produce additional effects compared with the body alone. The computational results were compared with the experimental results from a previously published wind-tunnel study that consisted primarily of global force and moment measurements. The numerical calculations show good agreement with the experimental investigation at supersonic Mach numbers.

Yao Yuan, Zhang Xiaolin, Liu Rongke, Zhao Ling
2005, 31(04): 481-484.
Abstract:
To improve the coding speed of set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm, the structure of SPIHT was re-designed, a simple listless coding algorithm based on wavelet zerotree was developed. Pipeline coding structure was realized by pre-processing and main-processing processes and access frequency was reduced. Pre-processing was designed to mark the significance of all nodes and main-processing to finish listless zerotree coding. In color image coding, the transform from RGB(red-green-blue) space to YUV (luminance-chrominance) space was performed, YUV color planes was correspondingly coded on bit plane sorting. So, the output coding stream was fully embedded. Generally, the first significant bit plane of luminance component is higher than chrominance component's. The performance of color image coding is further improved by output-controlled policy of chrominance component. Hardware implementation results show that the speed of codec is improved significantly, but rate-distortion performance is not reduced. The new algorithm is especially suitable for high resolution or irregular image codec chip design.
