2007, 33(07): 757-760.
Abstract:
Based on the linear dynamics model, the relevant issues of orbital maintenance and control of spacecraft fly-around with finite-thrust was studied. Firstly, aimed at the problem of orbital control of spacecraft fly-around, the exact dynamics model was derived and the linear dynamics equation was presented. Secondly, based on the linear quadratic optimal control theory, the feedback control system for fly-around orbit was designed. To realize finite-thrust, a limited nonlinear function to restrict the control acceleration was presented. The numerical simulation show the control system has asymptotic stability, faster convergence rate and higher control accuracy. Lastly, from calculating the engine-s working time of different relative position errors, estimate the cost of fuel for orbit control and maintenance.

Chen Yu, Dong Chaoyang, Wang Qing, Zhang Minglian
2007, 33(07): 761-764.
Abstract:
An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control was proposed for the attitude stabilization of flexible satellite during large angle slew maneuvering. The dynamic model of the satellite with flexible appendages was derived by Lagrange equation. The sliding mode control was designed to make the state of system reach sliding mode surface in finite time. The adaptive fuzzy system was used to approximate the strong couple nonlinear function between rigid central body and flexible appendage dynamics during large angle slew maneuvering. The sign function was replaced by the saturation function so as to attenuate the chattering phenomena and avoid exciting higher frequency elastic mode. The fuzzy rules were employed to gain the size of boundary layer. Simulation results show that not only attitude stabilization of satellite with high precision is achieved, but also the elastic vibration of flexible appendage is suppressed effectively, and the system is robustness against system uncertainties and environmental disturbances.

Wang Rui, Zhuang Damin
2007, 33(07): 765-768.
Abstract:
According to human dimensions of chinese male pilot and the chinese manhood anthropometric data, the rigid model for the pilot′s upper limbs was established. Referring to the requirement about cabin layout in GJB and flight quality criterion in HB, Two operation movements of the pilot, pulling and pushing stick, were simulated using SimMechannics which is a simulation module of Matlab. Analysis type is inverse dynamics. When work load and athletic rule of end effectors are given, the actual joints′ torques could be ciphered out by simulation, and then the three-dimensional comfortable manipulation area could be acquired according to given comfort criterion. The result suggests that workload isn′t changed, but the calculated area in the case of pushing stick is different from that of pulling stick. Therefore, there is a correlation between manipulation characters and the range of comfortable manipulation area. When dealing with pilots′ ergonomics evaluation or optimizing cockpit layout design, It is necessary to analyze matters with an eye to manipulation characters.

Qin Li, Yang Ming, Guo Qing
2007, 33(07): 769-772.
Abstract:
The ability of the moving-mass attitude control system was investigated to control a vehicle with three-axial stabilization in intra-atmospheric space. And the general nonlinear motion equations with three internal moving masses were provided. For the fast self-learning and adaptive capacities of radial basis function (RBF) networks, used it as the controller to calculate the moving masses′ position. With the coordination of the control, the masses were positioned independently to generate the modest attitude corrections for the vehicle. At the same time, the weights of the networks were optimized by genetic algorithm (GA).At last, the influence to the system performance caused by the moving masses′ motion was discussed and the system stability was analyzed. Simulation results show that the system stabilization can be satisfied to realize efficiently attitude adjustment for the vehicle, and the dynamic performances of the system are improved.

Li Jiajun, Eriqitai
2007, 33(07): 773-776.
Abstract:
The 3-D flow fields of the round jets with pulsed jet blowing for mixing enhancement were simulated numerically. This work uses a technique for injecting high frequency and high intensity signals into subsonic shear layers for the purpose of jet mixing enhancement. The finite volume method, RNG k-ε turbulence model were employed to solve N-S equation. Numerical simulations of low Mach 0.23 and high Mach number 0.9 jets exhausting into fluid were conducted. Three cases are considered in detail: a unforced case and two cases that are forced with flapping modes at Strouhal numbers 0.2 and 0.4.These simulations show that pulsed jet blowing at either frequency causes the jet to expand rapidly in the plane parallel with the actuators and to contract in the plane perpendicular to the actuators, the intensity of motion and associated mixing are higher when the excitation Strouhal number is around 0.2, and small injection flow rates can provide tremendous increases in velocity decay rates.

Jiang Hongkai, Wang Zhongsheng
2007, 33(07): 777-780.
Abstract:
To identify weak damage of aircraft engine rolling bearing, a new method to construct second generation wavelet packet was presented. In this method, the decomposition and reconstruction procedures of second generation packet were designed, and the second generation packet operators which lock on to the dominant signal structure were calculated. The vibration signal of rolling bearing was decomposed with second generation wavelet packet, and the signal at each frequency band was reconstructed. The reconstruction signals were demodulated with Hilbert transform, and envelope spectrum at each band was obtained. The dB values of fault feature frequency components corresponding envelope spectrum at each frequency band were calculated, and the maximal dB value of fault feature frequency components was extracted to identify damage of rolling bearing. The proposed damage identification method was used to analyze simulation signal and experimental signal from a rolling bearing with weak outer race damage, and results confirm the advantages of second generation wavelet packet for rolling bearing damage identification.

2007, 33(07): 781-784.
Abstract:
The aerodynamic performance and flying safety of long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are largely affected by the aeroelastic distortion of its high-aspect ratio wing. High-aspect ratio wing of UAV is bended and twisted by the air load during flight and couldn-t be treated as a traditional rigid wing. The effect of static aeroelastic distortion to the aerodynamic characteristic for a real high-aspect ratio sweepforward wing of composite material under different load statuses was analyzed. The integrated design method combined aerodynamic with structural was adopted in this analysis using associated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program FLUENT and computational structual dynamics (CSD) program NASTRAN. The result shows a lift-drag ratio drop and a remarkable increase on rolling and yawing moments which affect the portrait and lateral aerodynamic performance of UAV negatively. The result also shows that the CFD/CSD coupling computational methodology is reliable to be used aerodynamic-structural integrated design of elastic wing.

2007, 33(07): 789-792.
Abstract:
Exhaust nozzle is one of the key components of pulse detonation rocket engine (PDRE). Exhaust nozzle can be used to improve the propulsion performance of PDRE. Method of characteristic (MOC) was used to calculate one-dimensional CJ(Chapman-Jouguet)detonation wave propagating in the ideal detonation tube. The unsteady blowdown process after the CJ detonation wave reach the exit of detonation tube was two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical simulated. The results of numerical simulation demonstrated the development of the unsteady flow field, and the unsteady waves and vortexes were discussed.

Wang Wei, Dai Mingqiang, Zhang Zhihua
2007, 33(07): 798-802.
Abstract:
In tracking maneuvering targets application with radar, target dynamics are usually modeled in the Cartesian coordinates. In the cases target motion model are always very accurate but nonlinear ,while target measurements are directly available in the original sensor coordinates. By means of combinatin of unscented transformation and best linear unbiased filter , a new filter named unscented transformation-best linear unbiased estimator(UT-BLUE) filter was proposed to solve the above nonlinear tracking problem. In this filter, by way of nonlinear target motion model, unscented transformation was first used to predict state of the true target and its covariance, and then they were directly estimated while keeping the measurement error in sensor (polar) coordinate system. Algorithm analysis and simulation were conducted to compare it with extended Kalman filter(EKF) and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) , and results indicate that the new filter is more effective and available.

2007, 33(07): 803-806.
Abstract:
Image formation for circular scanning synthetic aperture radar (CS-SAR) was investigated. The work principle and echo signal model of CS-SAR were described. A focused image algorithm based on spectrum analysis was presented. This focused algorithm was able to correct the range cell migration within each burst echo of CS-SAR, so it was suitable to form high precision image for CS-SAR. The algorithm flow chart and the deducing process of the algorithm for burst data were given, and the whole process flow chart for CS-SAR based on this algorithm was given also. Compared to classic unfocused Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) algorithm, this algorithm has a little more computational loads but much more imaging precision, compared to extended chirp scaling (ECS) algorithm, it has less precision but much less computational loads. It is competent for fast focused imaging for CS-SAR. The computer simulation results validates that this focused algorithm can be used to image accurately for CS-SAR.

Dong Xiaomeng, Zhang Ping
2007, 33(07): 811-815.
Abstract:
Zenith blind zone is a phenomenon which the line of sight can not track the target when the target maneuvers in the narrow offboresight of the missile. Utilizing the geometrical relation of photoelectric imaging guidance, the rectangular coordinates and polar coordinates stabilized platform were analyzed. Moreover, the models of zenith blind zone for polar coordinates stabilized platform were presented and the reason of this type of zenith blind zone was analyzed. Furthermore, the zenith blind zone for polar coordinates stabilized platform was simulated in three different rate conditions of target maneuver in Simulink environment of Matlab. Finally, a PID control approach based on variable parameters per different areas was proposed. Aiming at a vertical maneuver mode of target, this variable parameters based PID control method was simulated using Matlab in contrast to general PID control. The results show that the zenith blind zone models for polar coordinates stabilized platform conform to the actual situation and the variable parameter based PID control approach can improve the characters of the target tracking.

Xia Hongwei, Ling Mingxiang, Wen Qiyong, Wang Changhong
2007, 33(07): 816-820.
Abstract:
The problem of robust H state feedback controller design for the generalized continuous time systems with time-varying delays in states and control inputs and parameter uncertainties residing in a polytope were investigated. A new improved performance criterion for the existence of robust H controller was presented by introducing two slack matrices. Then a H state feedback controller was derived directly from the criterion, which guarantees not only the quadratic stability of the closed-loop systems but also the H norm bound within a predefined level. The newly proposed criterion exhibits a kind of separation between the systems matrices and the positive definite Lyapunov matrices. As a result, the vertex-dependent Lyapunov functions can be adopted to deliver a less conservative result. An iterative algorithm was developed to further refine the sub-optimal controller. Moreover, this contribution addressed an effective method to obtain new criteria with less conservativeness based on existing research results. A numerical example was employed to illustrate the effect of the proposed approach.

Cheng Lianzhen, Zhang Jun, Liu Kai
2007, 33(07): 821-825.
Abstract:
To resolve the channel resources waste problem of the typical source-based multicast routing algorithm in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, a new core-based shared tree algorithm called the core-cluster combination shared tree (CCST) algorithm and its improved one (i.e. w-CCST algorithm) were proposed. The (w-)CCST algorithm consists of the dynamic approximate center (DAC) core selection method and the (weighted) core-cluster combination multicast routing construction method. The core-cluster combination method takes core node and its nearest group member in hops as initial core-cluster, and extends it to construct entire multicast tree step by step by a shortest path scheme between newly-generated core-cluster and surplus group members, which can greatly improve transport bandwidth utilization. In the w-CCST algorithm, a weighted factor was proposed to decrease end-to-end propagation delay and meanwhile increase tree cost a bit to support some real-time applications with strict delay requirements. Simulation results show that tree cost performance of the CCST algorithm is greatly better than that of other algorithms, while end-to-end propagation delay performance of the w-CCST algorithm is better than that of the CCST algorithm.

2007, 33(07): 826-829.
Abstract:
Loading trajectory is the key factor in skin stretch forming. First the loading trajectory of double curve skin was designed through the analytic method, then the parameters were changed to the machine-s instructions which were used as design variables. The method of combining finite element analysis and optimization algorithms was proposed to acquire the reasonable loading trajectory. Optimization mathematics model was set up in order to reduce springback and improve the fittability. The reasonable loading trajectory was found through the numerical simulation and sequential quadratic programming optimization algorithm under the restrictive of maximal thickness strain. Experiment was done according to the reasonable loading trajectory. Both numerical simulation and experiment results show that the precision, strain distributing and thickness uniformity of skin are improved greatly.

2007, 33(07): 830-833.
Abstract:
Sheet hydroforming has proven to be an effective method for manufacturing complicated parts. The multi-sheet hydroforming technology of complicated thin wall aerocraft part was investigated. Effects of key process parameters including the shape of pre-forming punch,corresponding pre-forming depth,and cavity pressure on the forming process of the finally formed parts were explored in multi-hydrodynamic deep drawing by using the finite element numerical simulation methods. Failure types including fracture and wrinkling during sheet hydroforming were discussed. The successful region of the maximal cavity pressure was provided during the forming process of the final formed parts. The measures of controlling forming quality were presented, and process parameters were optimized. According to the results of the numerical simulation, the experimental confirmations were carried on by using the equipment of sheet hydroforming which had been developed independently. It is shown that the results from the simulation are in reasonable agreement with those from experiment.
Analysis of multiple-impact forces between flexible-rods
Tian Ali, Yin Xiaochun
2007, 33(07): 834-837.
Abstract:
The multiple-impact phenomena usually exist in many engineering structural system and the calculation of impact force is a key problem. The present study is aimed at the calculation method of the impact force of the longitudinal multiple-impact problem. The transient wave response approach was presented to investigate the history of the multiple impact forces based on the theory of transient wave propagation. The wave effect was sufficiently considered. The transient wave response approach could avoid solving the impact force from the strongly nonlinear equation coupled of impact force with impact motions. The flexible system of two flexible rods with longitudinal multiple impacts was investigated accurately in numerical example. The higher the initial impact velocity is, the bigger the impact forces will be. The impact forces in the previous third impact processes increase slowly with the impact number. The phenomena of "sub-impact" can be captured. The present method provides an effective method for reference to further investigate the multiple-impact problem in the more complex flexibility systems and the longtime dynamic behavior.

The design of the novel metamorphic robot was described, and its degree of freedom(DOF) at different configuration was introduced. Some typical configurations were illustrated.

Yu Fangfang, Zheng Guolei, Ren Wenjie, Du Baorui
2007, 33(07): 842-845.
Abstract:
To pick up the machined area automatically in numerical control programming, a new methodology for recognizing machining features from a design feature model was presented based on the study about the product modeling method in the design-by-feature systems, product information models (geometric and topological information model, feature relationship model which usually named feature specification tree), the relationships between these two information models, the machining feature class definition in aircraft structure parts, interacting relationships between design features and machining features. By touring the feature specification tree, judging the features- relationships and querying the feature-s surfaces,the feature mapping method from a design-by-feature model constructed the feature attribute adjacency graph (FAAG) and recognized the machining features by matching boundary patterns in the local feature area, then extracted the machined information such as the machined area, the avoided area, the tool approach direction. It can be used to recognize the aircraft wainscots parts.

Su Haijun, Zhang Jun, Liu Lin, Fu Hengzhi
2007, 33(07): 846-850.
Abstract:
Laser rapid remelting experiments were conducted on the preparation of Al2O3/YAG eutectic ceramic in-situ composite to investigate the microstructure characteristic and growth behavior under an ultra-high temperature gradient and different laser scanning rates of 0.01~2.0mm/s, and to explore the relationship between the laser processing parameters and the microstructure. The results show that the laser remelted Al2O3/YAG eutectic is composed of irregularly and continuously distributed Al2O3 and YAG phases without grain boundary and any other phase. The volume fraction of Al2O3 is (45.0±2.0)%. The two phases couple each other and complexly interweave, in which the microstructure belongs to the typical lamellar structure of rapidly solidified anomalous eutectic. The eutectic spacing is very small and decreases from about 1~2μm to 0.5μm as the laser scanning rate increases from 0.02~2.0mm/s. The synthetical themal analysis(STA) shows that the eutectic temperature of Al2O3/YAG is 2096K, matching the phase diagram of Al2O3-Y2O3 system.
Impact energy absorption and dynamic viscoelasticity of composites
He Chenghong, Zhang Zuoguang, Li Yubin, Sun Zhijie
2007, 33(07): 851-855.
Abstract:
The energy absorptions of composite laminates reinforced respectively by glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and UHMWPE fiber (separately named as GFRP, CFRP, AFRP and DFRP), were investigated under the low velocity impact. The load sensibilities on dynamic viscoelasticity of composite fiber bundles of these four kinds of fibers were analyzed by using the EPLEXOR500 dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer under high loads. The impact tests show that the impact energy absorption is close related to the fiber properties and failure modes. The impact energy absorptions of AFRP and DFRP laminates through ductile failures are much higher than those of GFRP, and CFRP laminates through brittle failures. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis of composite fiber bundles show the load effects as that storage modulus increase and loss tangents decrease with the increasing static load, while the case is just reverse with the increasing dynamic load. In these effects, the organic fibers exhibit more serious load sensibilities and non-linearity than the inorganic fibers. These four laminates show the same sequence DFRP>AFRP>GFRP>CFRP on energy absorption as the load sensibility of storage modulus or the value of loss tangent of composite fiber bundles. This reflectes the correlation of the macroscopic impact performance and viscoelasticity which is close associated with material microstructure.

Zou Bo, Lu Zixing
2007, 33(07): 860-864.
Abstract:
Application of artificial neural networks (ANN) method on the mechanical behavior simulation of syntactic foam plastics was discussed. Firstly, factors influencing on the mechanical behavior and mechanical properties simulated and predicted were separately taken as input and output quantities. Secondly, Four-layer neural networks model was established to simulate and predict the mechanical properties and constitutive relationship of syntactic foam plastics by means of back-propagation algorithm. The numerical results show that the trained ANN model can preferably simulate and predict the mechanical behavior of material, such as Young′s modulus, yield strength and stress-strain curves under different strain rates or temperatures. Additionally, by comparison among three different modified training methods, it is found that Bayesian regularization back-propagation has the best capacity of improving network generalization, Levenberg-Marquardt(LM) back-propagation would converge fastest, and gradient descent momentum & adaptive learning rate back-propagation need long-end iterative process before the same precision in calculation is achieved.
Low oxygen partial pressure self-fusing Al-Si coating formed on surface of Ti alloy and its oxidation resistance
Zhou Wei, Zhao Yuguang
2007, 33(07): 865-868.
Abstract:
An Al-Si fusing coating was successfully produced by means of the low oxygen partial pressure high-temperature fusing technique for the improvement of the high-temperature oxidation resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Unlike the Si-modified aluminide coating, this technique is much effective and cheap without the need for long time diffusion for the formation of the Al-Si fusing coating, and the concentrations of the oxidation-resistant elements, Al and Si, in the coating can be controlled by adjusting powder mixing ratio. X-ray diffraction(XRD) shows that the Al-Si fusing coating is mainly composed of Ti5Si3 and TiAl3 phases. Cyclic oxidation tests at 923K for 52h in air reveals that the mass gains of the low oxygen partial pressure self-fusing Al-Si coating (LOPPF) is rapid in the initial 10h oxidation and keeps slow in the following oxidation; However, for the Si-modified aluminide coating, it keeps a rapid oxidation rate throughout the oxidation time.

2007, 33(07): 869-872.
Abstract:
Laser shock processing radiates metals by high power density (GW/cm2), short pulse (ns level) laser beam to produce the high strength impact wave and become residual stress of several hundreds MPa. Moreover, Laser shock processing has been shown to harden the surface and improve the mechanical properties of some structural metal components. The surface of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy welding line by electron beam welding (EBW) was processed by repetition-rate Nd:glass laser and repetition-rate Nd:glass laser & mechanical peening. Effects on residual stress of the Ti6Al4V alloy welding line by two technicses have been analyzed. The results are shown that residual stress distributions of the Ti6Al4V alloy welding line by two technicses are clearly improved, and residual stress distributions the latter are more clearly. In particular compressive residual on the subsurface increased with the increase of depth, maximum residual stress appears at the depth of 20~30μm apart from surface.
