Applications of X-ray pulsar based navigation in high precision orbit estimation
Huang Xianlin, Chen Zhengmin
2011, 37(7): 766-771.
Abstract:
X-ray pulsar based navigation (XNAV) can provide spacecrafts with autonomous positioning service. The accuracy of standard XNAV is coarse, in addition to that the pulsar timing model error and clock error can cause an approximate static bias in measurement error. Simulation results shows that 2 pulsars are needed to achieve total observability when using XNAV alone; and only 1 pulsar is needed when using integrated navigation with XNAV and cross-link measurement. Integrated navigation can also improve the positioning accuracy by over 10 times, and limit the estimation error caused by the static bias to under 0.2 meters. With realistic noise settings, using only standard XNAV in orbit estimation, a positioning accuracy within 50 meters can be acquired with only 2 pulsars. When using integrated navigation with cross-link measurement, the single pulsar navigation plan can achieve a positioning accuracy of 5 meters, proving that integrated navigation with single pulsar in standard XNAV is an autonomous navigation method with high precision, low requirement and relatively easier to implement.

Yang Hongwei, Dou Lihua, Gan Minggan
2011, 37(7): 772-776.
Abstract:
The analysis of non-linear stability of guided projectile under the condition of high attack angle after lateral impulse was presented. Integral was applied to describe the equations of projectile motions, and consequently, the polynomial for cosine variation of the attack angle was obtained. By analyzing the polynomial, the issue of stability of the projectile angular motion was turned to be the one of calculating the negative roots of the polynomial.The sufficient condition for non-linear stability of the projectile motion was also presented according to the Hurwitz criterion. The result provides certain theoretical basis for both academic and practical fields for issues about predicting the flying state of a projectile under non-linear motion condition, and for those on designing impulsive executive mechanism.

2011, 37(7): 777-781.
Abstract:
A rapid trajectory optimization was developed to handle the high dynamic and multi-constraints accompanying with hypersonic reentry vehicles. The equation of constraints in reentry process was established and the control variable of bank-angle was displayed as a subsection linear function of flight energy parameter during the process of trajectory optimization. The longitude constrained reference trajectory optimization was converted to a nonlinear optimization problem,and solved using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. The lateral motion was controlled by yaw angle tracking aspect angle and the error corridor of aspect angle was designed. The logic of back angle- reversal is developed to avoid traditional calculation by iteration. The simulation results indicate that the algorithm is able to generate a 10 000 km range reentry trajectory in about 5 s on the desktop computer. And the algorithm has fast calculation,high guidance precision and effective for implementation.

2011, 37(7): 782-788.
Abstract:
A novel hydrocarbon-fuel injection and ignition/flameholding system consisting of aerodynamic ramp(aeroramp) injector and gas-portfire was designed, which was investigated experimentally and numerically to figure out the supersonic flowfield and its combustion. Color schlieren and surface oil-flow visualization pictures were taken in the vicinity of the injectors to obtain a qualitative assessment of the injector flowfields. Results show that the assembly strengthen and elevate the streamwise vortex. Compared to lone aeroramp injector, the mixing efficiency is improved from 60 percent to 75 percent. Wall friction generats most part of the total pressure loss, but the loss produced by aeroramp and gas-portfire is a little. And the gas-portfire works as igniter and flameholder.

2011, 37(7): 789-794.
Abstract:
To solve the tracking accuracy problem of vehicle following system, when the leader vehicle was accelerating or turning, a novel algorithm based on a virtual flexible curved bar was proposed to apply for vehicle following. A virtual flexible curved bar was supposed to connect the leader and the follower. The curved bar was as long as the distance between the leader and the follower, while the bar arc fitted the leader-s curved path. The radiuses of the short arcs were recorded sequentially as the radiuses of leader trajectory to make the trajectory smooth and continuous. An acceleration fuzzy set was designed according to the bar length and the safe distance to update the follower-s velocity, in order to avoid the kowtow phenomenon during the following motion. Finally, some simulations were implemented in the three-dimensional robot simulation software. The results show that the method can be used in reality and the trajectory tracking accuracy can reach below 1 cm.

Xie Changchuan, Wang Weijian, Yang Chao
2011, 37(7): 833-838.
Abstract:
The stiffness of inflatable wing is determined by the internal pressure, so the static and dynamic coupling method should be established to solve the flutter problems of such wings. The structural stiffness and the normal modes should be calculated on the base of the static analysis. Then the unsteady aerodynamics can be calculated and the flutter characteristics of the wing can be analyzed using the traditional methods. For an inflated wing, the finite element model was created using membrane elements. The structure stiffness of the wing was derived by the static analysis and the normal modes were calculated. Then the flutter of the wing was analyzed. The results show that, as the internal pressure increases, each mode-s natural frequencies increases. Except for the typical bending and torsion modes, the chord-wise bending modes have low frequencies. The chord-warping modes can induce flutter besides the conventional bending-torsion flutter type. The critical flutter speed of the inflatable wing presents nearly linearity with internal pressure increased in specific range and the corresponding flutter modes dose not change as well.

2011, 37(7): 855-860.
Abstract:
In the static multi-positions calibration method for strapdown inertial navigation system(SINS), the precision of parameters estimate is influenced by the positions arrangement. For the six-position calibration method, nine initial measurement init error parameters, including accelerometer bias, accelerometer scale factor and gyro bias, were estimated. The relation between position arrangement and calibration precision of these parameters was established. Based on this relationship, the position arrangement problem was transformed to the optimization problem of Fisher information matrix. Furthermore, the optimal position arrangement was presented under some single criterions, which is called as A-optimality, D-optimality and E-optimality, respectively. Finally, a numerical example shows that the optimal position arrangements based on these criterions can provide better estimate for some parameters such as calibrating accelerometer bias and accelerometer scale factor.

Ji Xiang, Xia Jie
2011, 37(7): 872-876.
Abstract:
Based on short time Fourier transform(STFT), a study was carried out on longitudinal frequency-domain equivalent matching for time-domain data in flight control system. The input signals of the system were first decomposed by STFT to achieve those signals that most interest the pilots. Then fast Fourier transform(FFT) was used to extract the frequency spectrums of both input and output signals. From the achieved frequency spectrums, the response function was derived and was applied in the low-order equivalent matching to obtain the parameters of low-order system. This method increases the matching efficiency of both high-order and low-order systems, reduces the matching error and improves the evaluation results of flying qualities.

2011, 37(7): 877-881.
Abstract:
The process of carrier-based aircraft catapult launch was complex, disturbed by the motion of aircraft carrier, deck wind, disturbance ahead of the bow and ground effect. The condition of carrier-based aircraft catapult launch was described by the simulation model of motion of aircraft carrier, deck wind, disturbance ahead of the bow and ground effect. The simulation model considering the condition of circumstance was composed of the model of plane and the model of circumstance condition, as the added factor. The results indicate that ground effect increases the flight path sinking, and the deck wind can help to decrease the flight path sinking during the catapult takeoff process. In addition, the motion of aircraft carrier has some important effects on maximum sinking and angle of attack.

Abstract:
A stereo vision-based navigation method for the electric vertical take-off and landing(VTOL) aircraft to wander safely through an unknown dynamic indoor corridor was researched. The aircraft uses two cameras to obtain images from different locations, and then the theory of binocular stereo vision was used to restore the 3-D coordinates of the feature points in front of the aircraft.

The area-based stereo matching algorithm was presented to get the dense disparity map of the original image pair, then obstacles were extracted from the disparity map and the navigation points were generated for the UAV to avoid obstacles. Preliminary experiment shows that the method is feasible and can be used as a basis for further research.

2011, 37(7): 888-894,900.
Abstract:
The all attitude control and velocity track of helicopter with actuator saturation constraints was considered. A two-step anti-windup control approach was proposed, which can be applied to open-loop unstable systems such as helicopter. Without consideration of saturation constraints, H loop shaping inner and outer loop controller was given. The inner loop achieved all attitude control and channels decoupling, while the outer loop realized velocity tracking. With consideration of saturation constraints, the design of anti-windup compensator was proposed to reduce close-loop performance degradation caused by saturation. L2 stability of the proposed anti-windup control system was proved, and give potentially less conservative of anti-windup compensator by loop transformation and multiplier theory. The simulations of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter show the effectiveness of the proposed anti-windup control method.
