Abstract:
The high precision of antenna reflector panels is the key to develop the technique of high performance compact antenna test range. A new technique of contour adjustment for high precision sandwich reflector panels was developed. The principle of the contour adjustment of panels was analyzed. The core technology problems such as the decision of adjustment points- position and number, the adjustment value on each points were proposed. By use of numerical simulation, how many and where the adjustment points should be were determined. The algorithm for adjustment value calculation was verified by experiments. A contour adjustment device was designed and developed. Numerical simulation and experiments of contour adjustment were conducted against all possible shape error distribution.

Abstract:
An ultra-sonic pulse tungsten-inert-gas (TIG) welding power source based on new type IGBT topology was developed. 0Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel workpieces were welded by ultra-sonic pulse TIG welding and conventional direct current TIG welding respectively. In order to study the difference between joints welded by different welding technology, these weld joints were analyzed by means of X-radial check-up, tensile strength and specific elongation detection, optical-microscope and scanning electron microscope. With the ultra-sonic pulse TIG welding technology pulse current frequency being increased, it can be found that grains will be refined and the width of the coarse grain zone will be narrowed, correspondingly, small equiaxed grains zone will be enlarged. By contrast with conventional direct current TIG welding technology, these joints introduced by 30kHz ultra-sonic pulse TIG welding technology, have more small equiaxed grains in weld joints core, which indicates grain refinement phenomenon is distinct. The tensile strength and the specific elongation of these joints welded by 30kHz ultra-sonic pulse TIG welding technology were improved respectively.

Abstract:
The dissimilar metals(such as Titanium alloy and stainless steel) thin-wall small-diameter tube structrues in aerospace propulsion system were bonded, using high frequency induction brazing process. Their qualities and properties are largely superior to the bolt connection tubes structures. The static tensile experiments of the brazed joints were conducted. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of joints brazed using Ag-based filler metals are slightly better than those using Cu-based filler metals. And then the joints microstructures after static tensile experiments were analyzed. It is found that, all the cracks in the joint area brazed by Ag-based filler metals germinate and propagate in the brazing seam, the cracks stop when they propagate on the interfaces between brazing seam and the base metals. The cracks in the joint area brazed by Cu-based filler metals germinate in three locations: the boundary of two phases in the brazing seam, the interface between brazing seam and Titanium alloy, the interface between brazing seam and stainless steel. The crack driving force consistes mainly of the static tensile load and the mismatch behaviour of dissimilar metals brazed joint. And the resistance force of crack extension is related to the microstructures in the brazed joint.

Abstract:
EtherCAT is a type of real-time industrial Ethernet protocol for data communication in automation control system. Redundancy is an important way for hot swap and improving the communication reliability. The architecture, principle and frame structure of the EtherCAT were introduced. The fault tolerance and hot swap technology in EtherCAT based industry automation control system were proposed with ring topology. The master carries two full duplex Ethernet interfaces, forming two logical data stream. If there is a failure in the link, the EtherCAT slave will automatically loop back the data frames, so the ring topology is fault tolerant for one point failure. Redundancy frame transmission mechanism, fault location and recovering for network interface failure, link broken and node failure were laid out. The EtherCAT master driver with link redundancy was developed by adding the redundancy control to the normal EtherCAT master driver. It proves that the system is robust and has excellent performance of redundancy and hot swap function.

Abstract:
In order to reveal the relationship between SiCp volume content and mechanical property of SiCp reinforced aluminum metal-matrix composites (MMC) fabricated by powder metallurgy, the elastic constant matrix of the standard samples with different SiCp volume content were measured with elastic wave method. The relationship between the velocities of ultrasonic waves travelled in the material and the elastic constant matrix was deduced with Christoffel equation in transverse isotropy model. The basic principle of velocity measurement of quasi-longitudinal waves and quasi-transverse waves with the oblique incidence immersion method was introduced. The experiments based on the above mentioned principle and method were carried out and the elastic constant matrixes of the standard samples were calculated out. The results show that the mechanical property of material in the extrusion direction is better than the other directions, and with the increasing of SiCp content, the elastic constant rises and the intensity of the material enhances.

Abstract:
The transient heat conduction of TBC(thermal barrier coatings) structures in TNDT(thermal non-destructive testings) was described by an axisymmetrical model in a cylindrical coordinate, and the corresponding physical model was constructed. The temperature field of TBC structures stimulated by a heating pulse was analyzed by using the FEA(finite element analysis) software ANSYS, and the relations between information parameters(such as maximum differential temperature and maximum contrast) and defect parameters(such as defect radius, depth, coating thickness and thickness difference) were studied. The results show that, at a fixed coating thickness, the maximum differential temperature and maximum contrast are a nonlinear function of the defect radius respectively and increase with the defect radius, and their saturation value exist. At a fixed defect radius, the maximum differential temperature and maximum contrast are a nonlinear function of the coating thickness respectively, and decrease when the coating thickness increasing. These results provide a theoretical support for the detection and characterization of delamination in TBC structures by infrared thermography.

Abstract:
By the modal analysis of lunar lander based on MSC.Patran/Nastran, the main factors affecting the mode frequency were retrieved, including the dimensions of the machine and the method of the assembled part.

Abstract:
Machining deformation has been a bottle-neck issue in aeronautical manufacturing field. Based on finite element simulation, the influence of original residual stresses on the deformation in the process of machining for aeronautical monolithic component was studied. The redistribution law of residual stresses during machining and the trend of deformation change were analyzed. The simulation conclusions agree with experimental results. The machining deformation characteristics due to residual stresses were analyzed and the simulation of different machining path was carried out. The results indicate that the research on deformation caused by residual stresses alone can neglect the effect of machining path. The coupling effect between residual stress and milling force was taken into account and the simulation was performed for different machining path.

Abstract:
Topological pipe-net models of engineering CAD were established using templates data library. The topological templates data library was constituted of many topological models each of which was abstracted from engineering object and had its unique characters. The loosely coupled three-tier architecture system that was applied to model pip-net models of engineering CAD was designed based on topological templates data library. The system included three layers: user layer, templates data library management and data layer. The templates data library management provided convenient and instant management of topological templates, and consequently the establishment and maintenance of pipe-net templates became more efficient. The data layer provided common data interfaces and thereby the topological templates data from different fields could be shared. The system hierarchy is clear, and the dependent relationships between system models are fewer, and especially it is easy to be realized. The efficiency and compatibility of pip-net modeling in engineering CAD field can be greatly improved using this system.

The characteristics of the architecture were discussed. Three techniques for ASMD implementation were presented, that is, abstract meta-modeling, fast data view generation based on rules and component reuse and reconfiguration based on service techniques. The ASMD provided a new way to support agile manufacturing data management and its applications in product lifecycle management. It can also be a way to promote the agility of information systems.

Abstract:
In order to study on nonlinear vibration of flexible manipulator, a mathematical model of mechanical system considering damping, material nonlinearity, temperature variation and axial excitation was established using the Garlerkin method. Furthermore, the adequate and essential conditions for homoclinic orbits, hetroclinic orbits and period orbits were obtained by Hamilton functions of the system, and the corresponding specific analytic expressions of different orbits were deduced. Based on the multiple scales method for nonlinear vibration analysis, the first approximation solutions and corresponding to steady state solutions of the 3 super-harmonic resonances were studied. The relations between different parameters were revealed clearly. Numerical analysis results show that material nonlinearity and temperature variation are critical factors influencing the vibration, which should not be neglected. In some conditions, the movement such as chaotic motion can be found in the system. In order to control the flexible manipulator effectively, parameters should be designed correctly to avoid the chaotic movement.

Abstract:
A new time series method was proposed to construct the random drift model for the micro electro mechanical sensor (MEMS) gyro. Based on the wavelet multi scale analysis method, the gyro random drift data was decomposed to a series of scale gyro drift data with depth of 4 using bior1.5 wavelet, each scale signal was rebuilt and then constructed the corresponding multi scale time series models to reduce the overall predict error. Moreover, an adaptive Kalman filter algorithm was proposed to improve the compensation performance for the random drift noise. The noise variance was modified by using the fuzzy adaptive system which is based on the mean and variance margin of residual sequence. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proved by a series of experiments compared with multi scale analysis with simple Kalman filter (SKF). Each random item was reduced using Allan variance analysis.

Abstract:
Two novel module climbing caterpillar kinematics models according to the vermicular motion of the pine caterpillar and inchworm were presented. The differences of two models were indicated after the analysis of the valid gaits and climbing safety of them. Although the pine caterpillar model with all active joints introduces the redundant actuating to its locomotion but it has higher security than the inchworm model because of its more valid gaits. Two prototypes following the above two models were respectively constructed from some newly developed real adhesion and actuation modules to testify the climbing abilities of two caterpillar-like robots. The experiments show the sideslip of the suckers on the pine caterpillar robot induced by the redundant actuating and the locomotion ability of the inchworm robot on vertical wall. Besides that, an unsymmetrical gait was adopted by the inchworm robot to improve its adhesion reliability on the wall.

Abstract:
The mechanism with the characteristics of virtual center of motion (VCM) is one of the limited degree of freedom (DOF) mechanisms substantively. The VCM was employed in robots which were mobile on rough terrain for its special characteristics. The front mechanism was optimized through analyzing the relation of the VCM and the center of the front wheel． The static model of the robot was simplified for the character of VCM. According to the static analysis, the parameter and the position of the spring suspension on the front mechanism were optimized through minimizing the friction coefficient of the wheels. The ground contact of all wheels at any time was guaranteed by the spring. An optimized prototype was designed and manufactured. It is able to passively overcome obstacles of up to 2.1 times of its wheel diameter and can climb stairs with steps of over 1.27 times. The advance of the passive adaptation in rough terrain was shown in the contrastive experiments.
