Li Yuejun, Yan Chao
2007, 33(05): 505-508.
Abstract:
To overcome the shortcoming of the original dual-Euler method, i.e., it presumes that the range of pitching angle was limited to and it can-t be used for continuous solution of super-maneuvering flight when the pitching angle was beyond this limited range, improvement was made to solve Eulerian angles for full scale continuously by introducing a discriminant function that can obtain the only one corresponding solution for both positive Eulerian system and negative Eulerian system. To validate the new method, a simple model of super-maneuvering was numerically simulated with the improved Dual-Euler method, and R-K algorithm with variant time steps was used for time integration. Results showed that the numerical solution was in perferct agreement with the theoretical solution.

Wang Xinlong, Ma Shan
2007, 33(05): 509-513.
Abstract:
A fast alignment and calibration method of inertial navigation system (INS) were approached from a control theory point of view. Using the Lyapunov transformation was proposed for transforming the conventional strapdown inertial navigation system(SlNS)error model. And the equivalence of SINS and gimbaled inertial navigation system (GINS) error model was discussed. Using a semblable transformation which based on physical insight and the so-called pseudostates vector instead of the true states were proposed. Consequently, the observable error states are uncorrelated with the unobservable ones, and the best observable sub-space of INS was found. Based on the simplified model, the fast estimation methods for the azimuth error and calibrating the drift of gyroscopes were creatively proposed. It reveals that the azimuth error and the drift of gyroscopes can be entirely estimated from the estimation of leveling error rate, and without using gyro output signals.

Yang Hongyuan, Liu Wenting
2007, 33(05): 514-517.
Abstract:
Rationality of the fatigue life evaluated method for civil aircraft structures under corrosive environment was validated by test for the chordwise joint parts of wings which were typical fatigue critical parts of civil aircraft structures. And the fatigue life of this part under corrosion was evaluated. The pre-corrosion curve was obtained by pre-corrosion and followed fatigue test in common environment on simulated specimens of this critical part. The corrosion-fatigue influence factor was obtained by corrosion-fatigue test on the same specimens. Pre-corrosion and corrosion-fatigue alternation tests were carried out on large-scale simulated specimens. And the synthetical correction factor of corrosion under typical using condition was obtained. The correction factor of the alternative test was also obtained by evaluated method. The comparison between the two results shows that the evaluated method is rational and validity. And the fatigue life evaluated result of the chordwise joint parts of wings under corrosion was given.

Zeng Liang, Li Lin
2007, 33(05): 518-522.
Abstract:
The design and application of severed damping-ring to rotor/stator components are effective in protecting labyrinth air seals and the cylindrical walls of annular chambers against flexural vibration and fatigue failures excited by various disturbing forces. The dynamic analysis of contact system was complex due to its non-linear and chaotic behavior in the process. The theory for vibration control in labyrinth air seals was built up by elastic mechanics and contact mechanics. The dynamic response of labyrinth air seals with different damping-ring and contact pressure was analyzed by dynamic compliance method. The simulation results confirmed the validity of the proposed model and method and showed that the damping-ring could reduce the amplitude of the labyrinth air seals notably. There were the best parameters of damping-ring, which lead to the best effect of vibration control. The vibration control of damping-ring was different to different modal shape of labyrinth air seals.

Abstract:
In order to analyze the accumulation process of CO2 expired by crew in pressure cabin without proper ventilation and to evaluate the possible medical hazards, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)model of crew staying in a given space station quarter was built to simulate the unsteady process of respiration. The concentration of CO2 in exhaled air and the pulmonary ventilation varied with the concentration of CO2 in the inhaled air based on physiological experiments. The results for partial pressure of CO2 at typical locations and different intervals were presented based on simulation. Finally, a maximum allowable time that crew can stay in quarters without ventilation, some placement principles of CO2 monitors and some precautions ensured crew-s life safety in similar conditions were proposed.
Optimal actuator placements for shape control of adaptive piezoelectric truss
Xian Kuicheng, Huang Hai
2007, 33(05): 527-530.
Abstract:
With piezoelectric actuators as control elements, the basic equations of shape control for adaptive truss was formulated. A mathematical model of optimal actuator placements was presented, in which the actuator locations and the control voltages were taken as design variables, and the weighted presentation of the shape precision, control energy and number of actuators was taken as the objective function. This model subjected to the strength of the structure, the limit of nodal displacement and the maximum control voltage of actuators. Because the actuators and the ordinary bars have different element stiffness, every reasonable allocation of actuators could result in the change of whole stiffness matrix. If genetic algorithm was directly applied, an extremely large number of structural analysis would be needed. In order to decrease the number of structural analysis, a new method was proposed, in which the multi-point approximation, genetic algorithm and quadratic programming were combined. The results of examples show that the proposed method has high efficiency.

Zhu Jianfeng, Xu Shijie
2007, 33(05): 539-543.
Abstract:
Based on fuzzy variable structure control, a new guidance law of gravity-turn landing has been developed for the terminal descent phase of lunar soft landing. The sub-optimal sliding surface and fuzzy controller were designed to drive sliding variable converging to zero that would make a soft landing on the lunar surface safely. The bias of the descent engine-s thrust,the estimation of the lander-s initial mass and the lunar gravitational acceleration,the disturbances of initial conditions,the measurement error of sensors and attitude tracking error were considered. The Monte Carlo simulation has demonstrated that the guidance law is robust to all bias and disturbances. Therefore, the guidance law designed is feasible. It requires only slant range and slant range rate, and it is easy to implement in lunar soft landing mission.

Zhu Renzhang, Lin Yan
2007, 33(05): 544-548.
Abstract:
Motion equations of relative attitude between the target and chase spacecraft were elaborated for the final approach phase of spacecraft rendezvous and docking. Two algorithms of extended Kalman filtering based on vision observations were used to estimate relative attitude, one is through attitude estimation of the target, and the other is directly using motion equations of relative attitude. And two control schemes were presented to execute the relative attitude control. One of them is the phase plane control method by using constant control moment and optimal damping, in which the attitude control system can be simplified into three independent two-order systems to obtain the switching function, and the other is based on the quaternion feedback control, using eigenaxis rotation and linear two-order system to design feedback gain coefficients. The phase plane control method is relatively simple but needs more consumption than the quaternion feedback control.

Wang Hai
2007, 33(05): 549-551.
Abstract:
The thermal characteristic of fiber optic gyro(FOG) is one of difficult questions, it is a efficient method to improve the thermal characteristic of FOG by modeling. The characteristic of thermal affect induced nonreciprocity of optic loop was introduced , and it is one of the main reasons that affect the steability of Bias and scale factor of FOG. The thermal affect produced by the inner instruments of FOG is the main reason of warm-up time. And the warm-up time can be shortened by modeling and compensating. The influence of surrounding temperature for FOG is random. The error can be modeled and compensated by temperature model. The error model of temperature drift and scale factor of FOG is settled. The raw data of FOG is compensated with the model and the validity of the model is tested.

Wang Chen, Fang Jiancheng
2007, 33(05): 552-556.
Abstract:
To solve the problem of low precision characters and non-Gaussian distribution noise of the micro-satellite attitude determination system, UPF(Unscented particle filter) was proposed. Based on the different characters between the UKF(Unscented Kalman filter) and PF(particle filter), UPF uses the UKF to generate sophisticated proposal distributions. UPF can not only avoid the limitation of the EKF(extended Kalman filter) and the UKF which only apply to Gaussian distributions but also avoid the limitation of the standard PF which can not include the new measurements. The MEMS(micro electronic mechanical system) gyros and CMOS APS(complementary metal oxide semiconductor active pixel sensors) star sensor were applied as attitude sensors, the method of attitude determination used the error quaternion as the attitude parameter, presented a UPF attitude estimator. The attitude determination filter was constructed and the stochastic noise was adopted from the MEMS gyro. Then the UPF characters were analyzed. The simulation results showed that the suggested method can improve the system performance. The determination accuracy was higher than the UKF while the number of the particle was lesser than standard PF.

Li Haichao, Zhang Guangjun
2007, 33(05): 557-560.
Abstract:
A new fast and robust edge-matching algorithm guided by matched corners was presented. In the whole matching process, the corner constraint and the edge constraint were proposed to guarantee the matching speed. First, the matched corners were used to guide the edge matching. How to use the previous matched corners to guide the edge matching was shown. Furthermore, region-growing idea was introduced to get matched edges quickly. Second, the edge constraint was proposed to limit the search area in several pixels, then epipolar constraint was used to achieved matched points, if necessary the cross correlation was also utilized. Numerous experimental results with various images clearly demonstrate that the benefit of integrating matched corners into the edge matching procedures is obvious, and with the two new constraints this method seriously improves the speed and the correct matching ratio is higher than 97%.

Yin Runmin, Li Bohu, Fan Shuping
2007, 33(05): 561-564.
Abstract:
Refer to two key stages in template matching between two overlapping images: template selection and iterative matching, an one-dimension angle-oriented projection template matching method was proposed. The matching process firstly evolved a template selection discipline based on gray level difference segmentation to reduce the sensibility to image noise and illumination changes. After the segmentation, a well post intensity projection into angle-oriented array by linear interpolation was used to accelerate matching process and to maximum the employment of edge information. The method at last implemented an angle-oriented reformed AD(absolute differences) matching principle both to reduce miss-matches conduced by viewpoint rotation and to obtain rotation between reference and target other than correspondences coordinates. With aid of analysis of matching process respect to different cases under consideration of speed and precision, experimental results proved that the proposed approach works well over most overlapping images and is fast enough for real time applications.

Duan Xiaoyi, Zhang Qishan, Liu Jianwei
2007, 33(05): 565-567.
Abstract:
Smart cards are secure, compact and intelligent data carriers, which can offers strong authentication and guaranteed non- repudiation. With the traditional authentication solution, the static password is rarely altered and maintained in the verifier table on the server. This is bringing forth the important attacks of replay attacks, guessing attacks, modication attacks, and stolen-verier attacks. However, the dynamic ID-based authentication solution can solve the problem. I-En Liao et al proposed a dynamic ID-based user authentication scheme using smart cards. The scheme has a lot of advantages, such as avoiding a variety of attacks, mutual authentication and no verifier table, but it can′t resist to stolen attack. A improved scheme was presented to remedy their weaknesses. Compare with Liao-Lee-Hwang′s scheme, the improved scheme not only avoid stolen attacks but also reduce the computational costs.

Su Donglin, Wang Xiaoxiao
2007, 33(05): 568-571.
Abstract:
To mitigate PCB(printed circuit board) power/ground impedance, which is a great negative influential factor to signal and power integrity of high-speed multilayer PCB , the relation functions among PCB power/ground resonant impedance,resonant frequency, resonant quality factor and the electromagnetic parameters of power/ground planes structure were deducted based on cavity resonant model. According to the deductions above, two main ways to reduce PCB power/ground resonant impedance from the aspect of selecting conductive and insulating materials whose electromagnetic parameters are more helpful to reduce power/ground impedance were developed. These two ways include using conductive material with high permeability and low conductivity and adopting insulating material with high permittivity and loss tangent. The latter full-wave simulation results prove the effectiveness these two ways.

2007, 33(05): 572-576.
Abstract:
Control allocation method was investigated with the background of aircraft with multiple control effectors. A new optimal control allocation method, bases sequence control allocation, was put forward. The optimal objectives were divided into control objective and mission objective, and the control objective should be fulfilled firstly. The actuators were recombined, and the efficiency vectors of the actuators were treated as the bases of multidimensional space. All of the bases were sequenced according to the control object and the mission objective. Then the optimization of redundancy system was transformed to a sequencing problem. Comparison with other allocation method and control system simulation results show the bases sequence method can achieve the objective accurately and optimally, and can be computed in real-time. The response of the control system is rapid and accurate, and shows good decouple performance among axes.
Enhancement of a timestamp-based password authentication scheme
Qi Wenhua, Zhang Qishan, Liu Jianwei
2007, 33(05): 577-579.
Abstract:
Yang and Shieh have proposed a timestamp-based password authentication scheme using smart card. The weakness of Yang and Shieh-s scheme is submitting password in plaintext and not authenticating key information center(KIC)by user. The new scheme improved the process of registration, login, authentication and update password. The user submitted the password-s hash value instead of the password-s plaintext, and shared the secret information with the KIC. Submitting the password-s hash value is the same as password in authentication, and avoiding the password-s exposure. With the secret information, the user can authenticate the KIC. The new scheme can overcome all of the above vulnerabilities, can resist the forged login attack and never revel the privacy of user even if the server is attacked.

2007, 33(05): 580-584.
Abstract:
A fast and accurate estimation technique of initial phase of single-tone signal based on the phase of discrete Fourier transforms (DFT) spectrum was proposed. The initial phase is obtained by removing the frequency item in the multinomial using the DFT coefficient which is from two discrete sinusoid signal sequences of different length. The root mean square error (RMSE) formula of initial phase estimation under Gaussian white noise was derived that presents the relationship among RMSE, fast Fourier transforms (FFT) length and signal noise ratio (SNR). The parameters in the formula were studied and optimized to minimize the RMSE. The process of which is to solve the integer programming problem with the objective function that RMSE is minimal. Through Monte Carlo simulation, the performance of the improved technique was compared with other typical algorithms and Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB), the RMSE formula is found to be effective.

Cao Yunan, Wang Tianmiao, Chen Youdong, Wei Hongxing
2007, 33(05): 594-599.
Abstract:
Aiming at improving the interpolation efficiency without lowering the path accuracy, the velocity look-ahead control in CNC(computerized numerical control) was introduced. Firstly, the interpolation geometry elements linking vector angle model, which was separated into line-connect condition and circle-connect condition, was proposed. The CNC velocity look-ahead control algorithm was presented. This novel algorithm can find the approximate optimal velocity adaptatively based on the maximum number of look-ahead segments and the geometric properties of the interpolation path, then the high connected velocities between segments can be achieved. Because introducing the acceleration attenuation in acceleration zone and deceleration zone, the S-shape acc/dec(acceleration/deceleration) can improve the flexibility of interpolation. By combining the advantages of the look-ahead control algorithm and the S-shape acc/dec in high velocity condition, a novel S-shape acc/dec CNC look-ahead interpolation algorithm was introduced and realized. This algorithm feasibility has already been proved in real CNC system.

Gao Feng, Liu Yahui, Ji Xuewu, Guo Xiaolin
2007, 33(05): 605-607.
Abstract:
Electronically controlled hydraulic power steering (ECHPS) improves driver-s ‘road feel’ because it has alterable assistance character. Steering gear model and bypass ECHPS model were built based on the hydraulic principle of the control valve and ECHPS. A simple formula suited the two models was used to analyze the assistance character of steering gear and ECHPS. The bypass ECHPS parameters- affections were analyzed by changing basic gap- width or slot-s radius of the control valve, or torsion bar-s stiffness of steering gear or both of basic gap- width and slot-s radius. The electromagnetic valve- affection was also analyzed by changing the orifice-s figure of the spool. The results show that the assistance character of the bypass ECHPS is determined mostly by the control valve of the steering gear, it has relations with the electromagnetic valve else.

Yu Qinghe, Zhou Chungen
2007, 33(05): 608-612.
Abstract:
The starting nano-TiO2 feedstock was agglomerated by spray-drying process. Nano-TiO2 coatings on transparent glasses were prepared by plasma spraying. The coating proceeded heat treatment at 300℃,400℃ and 500℃ respectively. The phase structure and the morphology of the TiO2 coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The porosity of the TiO2 coatings was tested by mercury porosimetry method. The result shows that the content of anatase TiO2 in the sprayed coatings is approximate to 30%~50%, and its grain size is about 10~30nm.The porosity of the TiO2 coatings is less than 6%,but has a great influence to the photocatalytic properties. After heat treatment at 300℃,400℃ and 500℃, the coating becomes denser and has a lower porosity, which leads to a decrease in photocatalytic properties. Sprayed nano-TiO2 coating obtained without heat treatment at the spraying current of 400A has the best photocatalytic property.
