Zhao Lin, Li Liang, Cheng Jianhua, Lou Shangyue
2010, 36(11): 1261-1265.
Abstract:
Because the traditional algorithms of satellite fault identification based on identifying threshold led to missed detection and false alarm, which reduced the correct identifying ratio, a new receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) approach was proposed for identifying simultaneous double-faulty satellites. The geometry relationships between the proposed parity vector and faulty feature plane were used to identify the faulty satellites. Therefore the proposed algorithm was immune to the problem of identifying threshold and improved the correct identifying ratio. Computer simulation results indicate that compared with the existing traditional algorithms based on identifying threshold, the performance of faulty identification has a significant improvement, under the condition of simultaneous double-faulty satellites. With the proposed algorithm, the correct identifying ratio is as high as 90%. Moreover, compared with the reconstructed optimal parity vector algorithm based on identifying threshold, the new algorithm reduces more than 61.2% of the computational burden.

2010, 36(11): 1266-1270.
Abstract:
Mostly by an elaborate set of pilot operation procedures(POP) crew can control planes successfully. Pilot may operate wrong under the inconsistent or illogical procedures,which can cause accident in flight. Normal procedures of approach and landing phases which come from flight crew operations manual of the Boeing 737NG airplane were divided into task function flow,then the hierarchy of index system was confirmed. The comprehensive evaluation index system of POP in approach and landing phases was established by consulting in-service pilots with Delphi method twice. Index weight factors were calculated by order relation analysis. POP was evaluated by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and evaluation scales and values were calculated by weight factors and evaluation matrixes. A POP comprehensive evaluation method was proposed with the integration of functional flow diagram, Delphi, order relation analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The method was used in evaluation of Boeing 737NG airplane POP of approach and landing phases. The result indicate the validity and rationality of the comprehensive evaluation method.
Effects of cylindrical hole accompanied with anti-vortex holes on film cooling effectiveness
Liu Xiaohong, Luo Xiang, Tao Zhi
2010, 36(11): 1271-1274.
Abstract:
The primary focus was to further understand the flow and heat transfer aspects of a special film cooling hole arrangement where the main film cooling hole was accompanied by two parallel anti-vortex jet holes. The cooling effectiveness and the interaction between the main hot stream and the coolant jets were simulated and compared with the standard single hole arrangement. It is found that the presence of anti-vortex jets decreased the size and the strength of the counter-rotating vortex pair of the main coolant jet and so is its mixing with the main hot stream. The surface film effectiveness value is improved as expected. A bigger diameter of anti-vortex holes means more obvious improvement of film cooling.

2010, 36(11): 1275-1280.
Abstract:
A comprehensive continuous modeling methodology of 3-RPS parallel machine under dynamic load condition was developed and presented by considering the stiffness of legs and joints. The variational Jacobian matrix was used through vector differential and equivalent mechanism technique. Based on the screw theory, the force equation between the dynamic load on the mobile platform and its reaction forces on the legs and joints of the 3-RPS parallel machine was investigated and analyzed. The relationship between the pose (position and orientation) distortion of the mobile platform and the elastic deformation behavior of the legs and joints on 3-RPS parallel machine was established and analyzed by vector differential. A comprehensive dynamic stiffness model of the machine was developed by adding the total differential of the residual forces on the machine system. To validate the methodology, a numerical simulation was carried out. The result shows that the stiffness model of the parallel machine is affected by the outside load and the pose of the mobile platform. There is a large difference between the simple stiffness model and the integrate stiffness model near the workspace boundary of the parallel machine.

2010, 36(11): 1281-1285.
Abstract:
IEEE-1394b is a high speed data bus, which has been successfully utilized in avionics. Its isochronous transmission assures definite transmission delay of data, and is widely adopted in multimedia data transmission. To solve the performance evaluation problem of isochronous transmission, deterministic and stochastic Petri net (DSPN) model of IEEE-1394b isochronous transmission was developed. The proposed model considers the effect of bandwidth reservation and arbitration mechanism, which have remarkable effect on isochronous transmission performance, and the bus activity was described precisely. Through simulation, the relations among system’s throughput, average waiting time, packet size, packet arrival rate and node count were numerical studied. The limitation of IEEE-1394b isochronous transmission throughput was also obtained.

Li Guoqing, Deng Hongwu, Xiao Jun
2010, 36(11): 1286-1289.
Abstract:
Experimental investigations were carried on to indicate the rotating film cooling characteristics in a 1.5 turbine stage. The length of the tested blade in chordwise and spanwise was 124.3mm and 99mm respectively with a 4mm film hole in the middle span oriented 28° to the tangential of the pressure side in streamwise. The mainflow Reynolds number Reg was 8×104. The blowing ratio varied from 0.3 to 3.0. Three rotating number (Rt) of 2.092, 2.324 and 2.448 were focused on. Air and CO2 worked as coolant to achieve the coolant to mainflow density ratio of 1.03 and 1.57 respectively. Thermo liquid crystal was employed to show the temperature distribution on pressure side surface which was captured by CCD. Results show that the film cooling effectiveness is increased with the blowing ratio rising while it is decreased with the Rt rising. Meanwhile, increasing Rt could lead the film trajectory to deflect more centrifugally. But it deflect less centrifugally with the blowing ratio rising under the same Rt. High density ratio could improve the film cooling effectiveness dramatically.

2010, 36(11): 1290-1294.
Abstract:
In order to improve anti-interference ability of radar/infrared multi-pattern composite guidance seeker with radome refraction, a new multiple model radome slopes estimate algorithm based on extended Kalman filter(EKF) was proposed in the three dimensional engagement scenarios. The slopes estimates were utilized in EKF to degrade the radome refraction in measuring line-of-sight and to get the local optimal estimates. Both of partial estimation results were integrated with sensor weighted coefficients depended on the sensor contextual information, which was introduced to characterize the reliability of sensor. The invalidity signals would be rejected. The performance of the proposed fusion algorithm was examined by four examples. Simulation results show that the algorithm can appropriately use radar/infrared measurement with radome slopes effectively estimating to enhance the estimating accuracy.

Zhang Tianming, Han Xianguo
2010, 36(11): 1295-1298.
Abstract:
The structure of the base platform and the links were optimized in order to reduce the mass and increase the stiffness of the 3-RPS parallel kinematic machine(PKM). The static stiffness of the PKM was analyzed with finite element method, using connector in the simulation of kinematic pair. From the analysis, the parts of base platform with low stiffness were identified; the deformations of the links and how they affected the deformation of the PKM were obtained. Ribs largely resisting the deformation were added, and the frame size was reduced to optimize the base platform. Deformation of the link was calculated by using cantilever model, and the dimensions of the link were optimized by minimizing the product of mass and the deformation. After the optimization, the mass and deformation of PKM were significantly reduced. The result can greatly improve the dynamic response and accuracy of the PKM.

2010, 36(11): 1299-1302.
Abstract:
The solid-liquid ducted rocket (SLDR) has advantages of solid ducted rocket (SDR) as well as liquid fuel ramjet (LFR). In order to analyze the characteristics of SLDR, a mathematics model was established and several proper parameters were presented. The characteristics calculation method was presented as well. According to calculating results, the specific impulse of SLDR is higher than SDR. When the mass ratio of liquid/solid propellant reaches 1, the specific impulse can be improved 1.82 times. With excess air coefficient increasing, the specific impulse increases firstly and then decreases. At off-design conditions, the specific impulse increases and then decreases with Mach number increasing. There is a critical Mach number that makes the specific impulse to be largest and this critical Mach number decreases with flight height. The thrust coefficient increases and the specific impulse decreases with fight height increasing.

2010, 36(11): 1303-1306.
Abstract:
Considering characteristics of non-linear and difficult to model for the rotor system, helicopter rotor dynamic balancing adjustment models was established by radial basis function(RBF)neural network. According to the constraints, the fitness function was established by using the helicopter vibration as objective function and the optimization variables were used by the adjustment parameters of rotor. The radial basis function neural network learning and optimization were used by the helicopter vibration and the adjustment parameters of rotor. Particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm was used to make a global optimization to find the suitable rotor adjustments corresponding to the minimum vibrations. The experimental results indicate that the particle swarm optimization algorithm is higher than the genetic algorithm in the aspect of efficiency optimization and the radial basis function combined with the particle swarm optimization algorithm can effectively achieve the helicopter rotor dynamic balance adjustment.

Qin Haiqin, Xu Kejun, Ou Jianping
2010, 36(11): 1307-1310.
Abstract:
In order to improve the accuracy of vibration monitoring and fault diagnosis, a blind source separation frame which is combining mathematical morphology preprocessing and Fast ICA arithmetic was brought out based on the characteristics of dual rotors aero engine case vibration signal. It is that the original signal was preprocessed by open—close and close—open combinatorial mathematical morphology. The signal noise can be well filtered, but its fundamental form can be reserved. The Fast ICA arithmetic was used to get back the high and low rotor-s vibration waveform. The frame was used to analyse the real testing data. The result shows that the method can well respectively resume the high and low rotor signal frequency domain structure information. It is very helpful to improve the accuracy of fault location.

Liu Heqing, Ding Li, Yuan Xiugan, Li Jing
2010, 36(11): 1311-1314.
Abstract:
In order to study the effects of combined stress of glove pressure and low temperature on astronaut operation strength during extravehicular activity (EVA), the maximum grip strength and grip fatigue were selected as two indicators to evaluate the strength of manual performance. Fatigue was evaluated by the work done in grip test. The low-temperature and pressured experimental conditions in the grip test were simulated in the low-temperature simulation cabin using the liquid nitrogen and the vacuum pump. The results indicate that wearing glove has very significant effect on the maximum grip strength and grip fatigue. Pressure(29.6kPa,39.2kPa) has significant influence on the maximum grip strength compared with wearing glove under normal temperature and pressure. Low temperature has no significant influence on the maximum grip strength. However, pressure and low temperature have particularly significant influence on grip fatigue. Under the combined stress of both pressure and low temperature, the maximum grip strength and grip fatigue will be further influenced significantly. The combined stress of pressure and low temperature in space seriously reduces the strength of the astronauts. The effects of combined stresses should be considered in researches of the man-glove system during extravehicular operations.

Ma Li, Ma Shilong, Sui Yuefei
2010, 36(11): 1315-1319.
Abstract:
A new description logic-based representation for role-based accesss control(RBAC) model was proposed. RBAC sets and relations were translated as concepts and roles in the description logic respectively. To express RBAC role default inheritance and constraint conditions, symbols that represented role composition and inclusion were introduced to the basic description logic language, such that some RBAC default inheritance properties, such as role hierarchy(RH) transitivity, user-role assignment(UA) inheritance and permission-role assignment(PA) inheritance, and some RBAC constraints, such as static and dynamic separation of duty relations, can be represented formally. By integrating default inheritance with constraints in one formal system, the new inheritance relations that violate the access control strategy can be limited with the help of description logic reasoning mechanisms.

Liu Yu, Li Deyi
2010, 36(11): 1320-1324.
Abstract:
The cloud model atomization process was related to a larger hyper enctropy. Through statistical analysis of the overall trend of the cloud drops, the cloud drops dispersed over the course of hyper entropy increase. By analyzing the dispersion trend of cloud drops in each semantic ranges, it is indicated that the drops represent the core concept dispersed in a low speed. The atomization feature of the cloud model was summarized. The semantic range of the concept represented by the cloud model extended while the hyper entropy increased step by step. The cloud drops spread but the drops nearby the core semantic keep a high density. The atomization feature of the cloud model was used to model the data deviates from the normal distribution. A cloud with a large hyper entropy value represented the concept lack of consensus. For each parameter, the expectation stands for the core semantic value, the entropy represents the semantic range and the hyper entropy shows the degree of consensus of the different semantics ranges. The cloud model knowledge representation application range was extended.

2010, 36(11): 1325-1329.
Abstract:
A method for optimizing the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) robust controller was presented based on stochastic robustness analysis and design (SRAD) methodology, which solved the problems, such as inadequate robustness measures in existing optimization methods for QFT robust controller. With SRAD-QFT, the probability of instability and the probabilities of unsatisfied performances of the closed-loop control system were achieved by Monte Carlo evaluation.The stability robustness and performance robustness measurements for the closed-loop control system were provided by these probabilities, based on which the QFT controller and pre-filter could be designed simultaneously. The longitudinal flight control system design for a supersonic anti-ship missile using SRAD-QFT shows that this method can accurately descript the parametric uncertainty of the plant and provide the robustness measurements of the closed-loop control system. Also, it is suitable for designing the complicated system.

Precession period extraction of high-rate rotating projectile
Li Yimin, Su Donglin, Leng Xuebing
2010, 36(11): 1335-1338.
Abstract:
Precession is conical motion that projectile axes rotate around the projectile velocity direction in flight. Precession is one of micro-motions in addition to the translation. Precession produces frequency modulation on the returned radar signal and induces additional Doppler shifts to the Doppler frequency shift caused by translation, called micro-Doppler effect. The mathematics of micro-Doppler signatures shows that the reflector radial velocity is the sum of the mass center radial velocity and the micro velocity. The reflector radial velocity contains the information about precession, which can be obtained by using the short time Fourier transform(STFT). The mass center radial velocity can be derived from polynomial expressions. The velocity subtracted from the reflector radial velocity gives the micro velocity.Time-domain and frequency-domain analyses were jointly adopted. The sliding window autocorrelation of the micro velocity was also used to measure precession period. Both computer simulation and the experimental results demonstrate the validity.

2010, 36(11): 1343-1347.
Abstract:
In order to achieve a high-precision, low-cost attitude and heading reference system (AHRS),the approach of using rotation modulation technology based on low-performance micro electronic mechanical system (MEMS) gyro was proposed. Quaternion and three sub-sample algorithms were used to calculate the heading and attitude angles. Two kinds of alignment modes, self alignment and rapid alignment could be alternated. The self alignment was accomplished by Kalman filter based on velocity observation. The heading alignment accuracy would be better than 5° by using MEMS gyro with the drift about 30(°)/h. When the rapid alignment solution was used, the heading was provided by magnetic compass and the accuracy would be better than 0.4° when the magnetic compass deviation was compensated. Static and dynamic experiments results show that the rotation modulation approach can improve the precision of MEMS gyro by about 30 times, the output accuracy of the system is better than 1° within 1 h.

2010, 36(11): 1373-1377.
Abstract:
For a complex structure of multiple degrees of freedom (DOF), building a simplified model of equivalent structure can lead to rapid and effective structural analysis. The method of energy equivalence was used to make a long-straight complex structure of multiple DOF equivalent to a beam element in space, the stiffness and inertia characteristics of the equivalent beam were derived, and the total stiffness matrix and mass matrix were obtained by using the finite element method. For a wing model, using the equivalence method, stiffness values and inertia values of the equivalent beam had been gotten. Analysis of vibration and flutter was carried out, and their respective results were separately compared with the calculation results of MSC Nastran. The contrast shows that the equivalent modeling method significantly reduces the structural DOF, and that the relative errors of results are small. And its main parameter values can be conveniently modified. Therefore, the method can be applied to preliminary design and structural optimization design of aircraft.

Li Huifeng, Li Zhaoying
2010, 36(11): 1382-1386.
Abstract:
Because of strong nonlinear characteristics, modeling uncertainties and complicated flight environment, the control of hypersonic flight vehicle becomes a challenge. An approach which combines feedback linearization and adaptive control for a multiple-input-multiple-output(MIMO) nonlinear system with parameter uncertainty was proposed. Feedback linearization was used to obtain the linear input-output dynamics and a feedback controller was designed. The uncertain parameters were estimated online by an adaptive control law and the Lyapunov method was introduced to analyse the close-loop system stability. For the conditions of choosing different outputs, a discussion was made on how to remove the inner dynamics to avoid unexpected unstable dynamics. A hypersonic cruise flight vehicle longitude model was used to testify the reliability of the proposed approach. In order to control altitude and velocity channel, a feedback controller with adaptive online estimator was designed for the parameter uncertainties in vehicle model and atmosphere model. The simulation was operated to track the altitude and velocity step commands. Results show the controller has good tracking performance with rapid converge speed.
