Influence of wing location on rotor-wing interaction of compound helicopter
Wan Jia, Chen Ming
2009, 35(5): 519-522.
Abstract:
The compound helicopter has gained more and more attentions so far, but the analysis method available is limited. Employing the free-wake arithmetic and vortex lattice method(VLM), a program for compound helicopter aerodynamic computation was developed. Using this program, interactions between the rotor and the wing were computed in different advance ratios and wing locations. From the computation results, some conclusions can be made: for the compound helicopter described, the interaction between the wing and the rotor isn-t sensitive to the wing location in high velocity, except the rotor torque; In low flight speed, the interaction is more complex, and needs more researches; Because of the dissymmetrical structure of the rotor wakes, the spanwise lift distribution of the wing is dissymmetrical, and it will cause a rolling torque.

2009, 35(5): 527-531.
Abstract:
Numeration analysis was made to simulate the flow and heat transfer in the double-web turbine disk. Several cooling structures of double-web turbine disk with different radial inlet position were proposed based on the same weight as a simplified solid disk. The calculated results present that: structures, in which rotor-stator cavity resorting a center or high positioned cooling air inlet, with the rotating cavity using high positioned inlet both, show better features of heat transfer. The lower volume mean temperature and the lower radial temperature difference are obtained, however, the resistant loss will increase a little.

Ren Yuan, Bai Guangchen
2009, 35(5): 532-535.
Abstract:
The usefulness of genetic algorithm-backpropagation(GA-BP) Bayesian algorithm was studied and evaluated for reliability simulation. GA-BP Bayesian algorithm is a algorithm to train feedforward neural networks, and it is based on GA, L-M (Levenberg-Marquardt) BP, and Bayesian method. The algorithm trains a network with the purpose of obtaining the weights corresponding with maximum posterior probability, and it adopts genetic algorithm in searching process. As a result, it makes neural networks have better and steadier generalization ability. When running a reliability simulation, GA-BP Bayesian algorithm can be utilized to train neural networks to make an approximation model that can be used in Monte Carlo simulation instead of expensive numerical program. In this way, the probability distribution of random ouput variables can be obtained with efficiently-controlled computing cost.

Abstract:
The comparative study between CFD numerical results of pulverized coal combustion process and the experimental data is becoming an important measure for validating mathematical models and direct engineering practice. The CFD commercial software, FLUENT, was used to simulate the pulverized coal flow and combustion. Mixture-Fraction/PDF model was used to simulate turbulent combustion; P-1 radiation model was used for simulating radiation heat transfer; the Langrange/Euler-s method was used for dealing with momentum, mass and energy exchange between the solid and the gas phase; the two-competing rates model for devolatilization and the kinitics/diffusion limited combustion model for simulating surface combustion of pulverized coal particles. The result of simulation is consistent with the data from actual combustion process. The simulation results show the rules of the volatile releasing and combustion processing of coke, which could provide important references to improve the combustion of the pulverized coal.

2009, 35(5): 540-543.
Abstract:
The effects of rare-earth (RE) elements on the crystallization behavior of Al-Ni-Gd-Y amorphous alloy were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The first crystallization temperature of Al-Ni-Gd-Y amorphous alloy increases with RE content.

The effect of heat-treatment on the mechanical property of Al-Ni-Gd-Y alloy was also investigated. The Al86Ni8Gd3Y3 alloy was of high microhardness and good ductility after heat-treatment at 568K for 10min and fine precipitation of fcc Al with size of 1~3nm was found in the alloy.

2009, 35(5): 544-546.
Abstract:
To solving the noisy points and high cost problems of pixel-based multispectral image classification, a hybrid unsupervised approach with graph-based segment and fuzzy c-means clustering was presented. First, based on the relationships among neighboring pixels, image was segmented into groups of sub-regions using the graph-based algorithm. Then according to the global feature vector of sub-region, the fuzzy c-means classifier was used to obtain the classification map. Experiments turn out that the proposed approach, which considers both relationships of neighboring pixels and global feature of sub-region, can achieve better accuracy and efficiency by comparing the result with pixel-based fuzzy c-means classification.

2009, 35(5): 547-550.
Abstract:
In order to covering any discretionary polygonal region,a novel method was proposed based on set covering problem model, which is a NP-hard problem. Random greedy algorithm strategy was applied in the method to achieve 100% regional coverage with minimum aerocrafts by designing and optimizing each aerocraft-s track and beam position. Random greedy algorithm removed some aerocrafts from the solution of greedy algorithm randomly and added some new ones based on greedy strategy again. The method extended search range for more possible optimized solutions compared with traditional greedy algorithm. Simulation result on Wenchuan area shows good effectiveness and intelligence of the method. Reliable reference can be supplied for near-space regional coverage planning.

Abstract:
The multi-path effect is one of the most important sources of positioning errors for global positioning system (GPS) and other satellite navigational systems. Multi-path signal modeling and its mitigation techniques have always been hot spots in the satellite navigation research direction. According to the multi-path signals nature, a specular reflection multi-path model was proposed, due to the influence of the specular reflections on GPS positioning accuracy more noticeable in comparison with other multi-path reflections. The pseudo-range measurement error of the GPS software receiver caused by the multi-path signals was tested. In the test, the multi-path signals were generated by this specular reflection model. The test results show that the pseudo-range error changes caused by the multi-path signals act in accord with the theoretical analysis curves.

Chen Weihai, Xu Lihong, Liu Jingmeng, Wang Jianhua
2009, 35(5): 572-575.
Abstract:
Contraposing the some deficiencies from the algorithm based on quadric error metrics (QEM), such as neglect of some cusp features and excessive simplification in some parts of the model, a QEM based on eigenmatrix was proposed for mesh simplification. Through introducing the curvature and edge length of a vertex into this new QEM to optimize error metrics, the eigenmatrix can easily distinguish the vertexes of a model, improve the error metrics of the vertexes in the areas with obvious geometric features. Therefore, the folding sequences of edge can be adjusted, so that some sharp features of the object can be preserved. Comparing with QEM algorithm, the simulation results show that the proposed approach can not only keep merits such as high executing speed and running efficiency, but also overcome the shortcoming to easily lose some important features of models because of mesh distribution too equality.

Abstract:
Instrumentation is one of the important techniques in the software testing. When instrumentation was applied in the flight-control software testing, the real-time performance of the original software becomes bad even lead to failure of the software, due to the extra spending on the instrumentations. In view of this problem, a new instrumentation method which is based on the BOOL array used to storage the code information was presented.

Then, plenty of experiments have been done to demonstrate the effect of the new instrumentation method. The result show that the method greatly reduces the run time of the instrumented program which to ensure the real-time requirements of the flight-control software.

2009, 35(5): 596-599.
Abstract:
The optimization of Lambert two-impulse orbital transfer with unfixed two impulses time was studied. The goal was to find the optimal two impulses time to minimize the weighted sum of consumed fuel and transfer time. Because traditional optimization algorithms were difficult to get global optimal results of the problem, an optimization algorithm which combines ant colony algorithm (ACA) and Powell-s method was then proposed. The new algorithm combined global search capacity of ACA and local search capacity of Powell-s method. It not only provided the global search capacity, but also improved the local search capacity and reduced the search time. Two examples were computed in the end. The results indicate that the optimization algorithm is valid to solve the optimal orbital transfer problem and the optimization is accurate.

Zhong Lin, Li Chao, Xue Ling, Xiong Zhang
2009, 35(5): 623-626.
Abstract:
A spectral-division unsupervised shot-clustering algorithm (SDUSC) was proposed. First, the keyframes were picked out to represent the shots, and the color features of keyframes were extracted to describe the video shots. In order to characterize shots optimally, a spherical gaussian model (SGM) was constructed for every shot category. Then the spectral division (SD) method was employed to divide a category into two categories, and the method was iteratively used to further divide the results of previous divisions. At the end of each iterative shot-division, bayesian information criterion (BIC) was utilized to automatically judge whether to stop further division. During the processes of shot-divisions, one category might be dissevered by mistake. In order to correct these mistakes, similar categories would be merged by calculating the similarities of all the possible category pairs. This approach was applied to three kinds of sports videos, and the experimental results shows that the proposed approach is reliable and effective.

Simulation results demonstrate that our approach is more accurate to compute minimum number of working nodes when the ratio of target region to sensor region is larger, and the complexity of this method is lower while the sensor-s region can be perceived as arbitrary shapes. It is an NP-hard problem that network-s coverage quality and ratio of sleeping nodes get to maximize together. It tried to solve this problem by using genetic algorithm for the experiments, which is significant in WSNs for the practical applications.

2009, 35(5): 636-639.
Abstract:
The traditional network management tools usually detect aberrant network traffic according to the preset threshold. This method is straightforward, but it has poor adaptability. Therefore, A mature aberrant detection method called Holt-Winters based on the time series forecast was described. But it needed a long time to adapt the real network environment when the algorithm model applied. To solve these problems, based on the statistics of huge history network flow model, an increased Holt-Winter algorithm was proposed to calculate the base values and the model parameter values, which made the algorithm started faster. The result shows that the increased Holt-Winters algorithm has improved the detection accuracy and reduced the false alarm rate compared with threshold method and traditional Holt-Winters model.

2009, 35(5): 640-643.
Abstract:
Researches of frequent-pattern mining have recently focused on discovering representative patterns to compress a large of results within a reasonable tolerance bound. A novel heuristic algorithm, approximating mining based simulated annealing (AMSA), was proposed. The algorithm uses a method based simulated-annealing to improve efficiency and quality of the compression. Our experimental studies demonstrate the algorithm is efficient and high quality on a common dataset supported by frequent itemset mining implementations repository (FIMI). The mining result of AMSA is smaller than mining results of FPclose and RPglobal by performance study. Especially, if min_sup threshold is low, RPglobal fails to generate any result within reasonable time range, while AMSA generates a concise and succinct mining result.

2009, 35(5): 644-648.
Abstract:
Time series model has the advantage of strong self-adjustment for stochastic process and high precision for prediction. For the high-reliability and long-life products in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, two methods based on time series model were proposed to evaluate reliability and predict lifetime using performance degradation data. Firstly, assuming that the degradation measure follows the same distribution family but its parameters may change with time. Non-stationary time series were used to fit distribution parameters. According to the relation between reliability and degradation measure distribution, the corresponding reliability functions were developed. Then, degradation paths of all samples were described by time series model. False failure interval and the false lifetime value could be predicted and reliability was obtained by statistical method from complete lifetime test data. Finally, the alloy fatigue crack data was used to evaluate reliability and predict lifetime,and the reasonable results show that the proposed method has better robustness.

2009, 35(5): 649-652.
Abstract:
Based on a tractive performance test-bed for planetary rover wheel, remodeled lunar simulant as a medium, the interaction between the rigid lugged wheel of lunar rover vehicle and lunar simulant was studied. The influence on trafficability which are brought by rotating speed and wheel load, was analyzed. The results show that drawbar pull boosts with the increase of slip ratio as wheel runs at low speed; however, there is a critical slip ratio point for drawbar pull as wheel travels at high speed. In addition, an increase of wheel load leads to an increase of drawbar pull, whereas it influences the drawbar pull coefficient negligibly.
