Su Xunwen, Wang Shaoping, Zhu Dongmei, Shi Jian
2011, 37(9): 1049-1053.
Abstract:
Multi-freedom vibration model has been studied. A methodology of optimized vibration sensor location, in which the amplitude was sensitive to fault frequency, was presented. First, a finite element model of the helicopter intermediate gearbox was constructed, then a signal stimulus was forced to the gearbox of the model by the method of harmonic analysis. The study shows that different locations have clear different amplitudes according to the signal stimulus. So the location, where the amplitude was the largest, should be the best sensor location and a function of optimized sensor locations was presented. This optimized sensor location methodology is also applicable to other parts of the helicopter transmission and other rotating mechanics.

Su Jingya, Fan Penghui, Cai Kaiyuan
2011, 37(9): 1054-1058.
Abstract:
Based on the nonlinear attitude dynamic and kinematic model of a quadrotor aircraft, an almost globally stabilizing nonlinear proportional integral derivative(PID) attitude controller was developed. The proposed controller consists of a linear PID feedback and a compensation of inertia torques, and can reject the external disturbances consisting of not only a constant term but also a bounded and square-integrable term. Simulation results show the effectiveness on disturbances rejection. Experiments of set-point attitude control were conducted on the constructed attitude control platform. Experimental results illustrate that the pitch and roll angular errors are both smaller than one degree, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed controller on small angle maneuvers and the robustness against unmodeled dynamics.

Wang Xuesong, Yang Xing, Xue Chunmei, Li Daoben
2011, 37(9): 1059-1062,1069.
Abstract:
In non-rich scattering propagation environment due to lack of angular spreading, non-uniform distribution of singular values of multiple in multiple out(MIMO) system transmission matrix causes a degradation of system capacity. To solve this problem a technology called phase coding was proposed. Phase coding transformed original singular channel transmission matrix to the non-singular matrix by creating multi-path deliberately. Distribution of transmission matrix singular values was improved and system capacity was improved as well. Using phase coding MIMO technology can be applied in the flat fading channel environment which has a very strong spatial correlation. So the application range of MIMO technology is expanded. Furthermore, MIMO channel can be transformed into parallel sub-channels without pre-coding at transmitter and feedback channel information from receiver, so system complexity is reduced. First theoretical analysis and basic principle of phase coding was discussed, followed with simulation results which verify theoretical analysis.
New attitude determination algorithm for single epoch, single frequency using GPS
Qin Honglei, Chen Wantong, Jin Tian, Cong Li
2011, 37(9): 1063-1069.
Abstract:
The LAMBDA method needs to start with a float solution to the ambiguities, and several epochs are needed by only using phase measurements and it will take a long initial time. To deal this problem, with the special transformation of global positioning system (GPS) carrier phase single difference observation equation of short baseline, new observation equations in which the unknown integer ambiguities are treated as noise could be obtained. Combining them with the original equations, it is possible to get a float solution using only one epoch for that the equations have redundancy. And it changes that the floating solution can not be obtained in a single epoch by only using double difference phase observation equation. In-depth study through the float solution and fixed solution from the LAMBDA algorithm, a new method which can fix the low precise float ambiguity to the correct integer ambiguity was given. It reduces the dependency of the high precise float resolution for LAMBDA method which needs many epochs to obtain, so the integer ambiguities can be estimated in single epoch and single frequency. The success rate is more than 97% in actual testing. The results show that the new method can be effectively used for real-time calculation of kinematic attitude.

2011, 37(9): 1127-1131.
Abstract:
The characteristics of beat-frequency signal and the accuracy of range and velocity measurement in frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) coherent laser radar were influenced by the surface roughness of measured target. In order to estimate the impact and improve the system-s performance, the scattering surface was spatially discretized into many patches, and the electric field intensity model was built and analyzed. Monte Carlo simulations and system experiments were carried out for the cases with different roughness surfaces. The results indicate that the alternating component of beat-frequency signal will decrease dramatically with the tilt of mirror plane, and when the surface is Gaussian roughness plane, it has a negative exponential relationship with the ratio of the surface-roughness height to the square of light wavelength. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results, and the system-s range-measurement error is less than 1mm, the static velocity stability is better than 0.1mm/s.

2011, 37(9): 1132-1136.
Abstract:
Due to the shortcomings of genetic algorithms such as the low convergence rate and premature convergence, an improved genetic algorithms was proposed, called adaptive parallel simulated annealing genetic algorithms based on cloud models (PCASAGA). PCASAGA applied cloud models to the adaptive regulation of the crossover probability and mutation probability. Simulated annealing was combined to prevent genetic algorithms from local optimum. Multi-species optimization mechanism was used to realize algorithm parallel operation. Intel-s threading building blocks (TBB) parallel technology was also used to realize algorithm parallel execution on multi-core computers. Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify that PCASAGA has better convergence speed and optimal results than original or improved genetic algorithms, and it takes full advantage of the current computers multi-core resources.

Ma Jiming, Zhan Xiaoyan, Zeng Shengkui
2011, 37(9): 1142-1146,1150.
Abstract:
Low efficiency and accuracy problem is serious when analyzing the rare event using Monte Carlo methods, a reliability analysis method was proposed based on the adaptive importance sampling (AIS). Finding the failure points is difficult when the failure equation is not explicit. Firstly a conditioned recursion algorithm was used to search the failure point which was as close as possible to failure surface. Then the failure point was selected as the new sample center, and the center point was adjusted iteratively to get a failure sample nearby the design point. The failure sample was used to predict the parameters of importance sampling density function; iteration will be performed during the process until the deviation of failure probability met the requirement. Finally, two typical cases were used to verify the method; simulation results show that the failure point can be searched quickly through simulation method without an explicit failure equation, which means it is applicable to the situation where failure equation is implicit. Comparison results with Monte Carlo methods prove that simulation efficiency is increased obviously, especially for the application condition with very small failure probability.

Abstract:
In order to make analysis for testability of hierarchy system, a testability modeling and analyzing approach were proposed for hierarchy system based on multi-signal flow graph (MSFG). This approach can used MSFG to build hierarchy system-s hierarchy structural mode. Firstly, dependency model was applied to make testability analysis for the top-model. If the hierarchy module can-t be isolated with other modules, the dependency model was used to make testability analysis for the ambiguity again, continuing this process until realizing diagnostic designing of the whole hierarchy system. Finally, by applying the proposed approach in some hierarchy structural amplifier/filter system, the efficiency of this method was verified, and the result shows that this method is efficient, and effective diagnostic strategy can be obtained for the testability analysis of hierarchy system.

Pan Zhongwen, Xing Yufeng, Yang Yang
2011, 37(9): 1156-1159.
Abstract:
For simplifying the analysis of stiffening cylindrical shell in rocket, the computational method of torsional rigidity in the area-equivalence method was studied for the stringers in stiffening cylindrical shell, it is shown that the effect of stringers on the torsional rigidity of stiffening cylindrical shell is negligible. The equivalent beam or shell model with uniform thickness, the equivalent shell model with varied thickness and three dimensional (3-D) beam-shell model were proposed to solve the inherent torsional vibration frequency, and the features of these models were discussed. It was theoretically revealed that the obtained equivalent thickness by the area-equivalence method could not be directly used to calculate the torsional rigidity. Two modification methods, namely, the rigidity reduction method and frequency modified method, were presented when the equivalent thickness was directly utilized to solve the torsional frequencies. Numerical comparisons validate the proposed methods and models.

Wang Yan, Dong Hongkang
2011, 37(9): 1165-1168,1175.
Abstract:
Nonholonomic constraint transmission (NCT) is currently driven by a motor, which leads NCT complex and expensive. In the closed hydraulic system composed of concatenate variable pumps, liquid flows continuously and the pump rotate speed is inversely proportional to its displacement. The pump rotate speed can be adjusted by changing its displacement and according to this theory, hydraulic nonholonomic constraint transmission system (HNCTS) was proposed for Cobot. HNCTS had many merits, such as fast response, load stiffness and so on. The mathematical model of 2-DOF plane Cobot based on HNCTS was built for simulation. The fuzzy control algorithm, one input and two outputs, was introduced to control HNCTS. The validity of HNCTS was proved by simulations. Simulation results show that the HNCTS can be decoupling controlled by fuzzy control algorithm, and the HNCTS has the ability to achieve passive constrained control and desired trajectory tracking for Cobot.

Wu Aihong, Cai Liangcai, Gu Qiangkang, Li Guangyuan
2011, 37(9): 1169-1175.
Abstract:
The present concrete pavement design specification uses design aircraft to convert the traffic of other aircrafts into traffic of design aircraft according to the principle of equivalent damage, and it assumes that the wheel path in the lane of runway follows uniform distribution. Actually, wheel path follows the normal school, landing gear of new large aircraft becomes more complex, the peak value of cumulative damage of each aircraft maybe not at the same location, shortages of conversion method using design aircraft is increasing. Based on the wheel path in the lane of runway follows the normal school, pass-to-coverage ratio is used to calculate passes number. Design aircraft-s function is replaced by cumulative fatigue damage of pavement structure, which produced by all kinds of aircrafts is carried out directly. A new design method for concrete pavement based on cumulative fatigue damage is discussed and a design example is given. It is approved that the pavement design method using cumulative fatigue damage as design index is more suitable for concrete pavement design of large aircraft with complex landing gear.

Cao Cheng, Su Donglin, Dai Fei, Gao Wanfeng
2011, 37(9): 1176-1180.
Abstract:
It is very complicated to analyze the power-bus structure of the printed board circuit(PCB). Cavity-mode method is an effective way to analyze the power-bus structure of the printed board circuit, however, the algorithm is hard to converge. Therefore, the total computing time of the algorithm to analyze the power-bus of PCB is long. And the method is not applied to compute the radiation field of the structure. Based on the method, a fast cavity-mode algorithm was presented for analyzing the radiation emission problem of the power-bus structures in PCB design. In this method, the double series summation cavity-mode expression which is used to get the far-field characteristic of a parallel plane structures is simplified for using a Cauchy contour integration. The working condition of the method was deduced in our work. The convergence of the fast algorithm was obtained either. It is shown that this fast method is more efficient than the convention cavity-mode method for the small computation time, the high convergence and the same accuracy. Simple examples were analyzed to validate the proposed formulation.

2011, 37(9): 1181-1185.
Abstract:
Aiming to panoramas images, a panoramas subspace based scale invariant feature tracking method was proposed which contains an offline process to build feature correspondence between panoramas and original image sequence and an online process to match features based on keyframe recognization. Firstly making full use of the ability of panoramas to cover approximately entire local nature space, a way was given to extend Kd tree to build feature correspondence between panoramas and original image sequence which can efficiently reduce feature redundancy of panoramas and improve the first matching stage-s time. On the basis of this mapping, a voting method was used to recognize keyframe to finish the second matching stage. Through the two feature matching stages above, the aim was reached that converts the feature matching from multiple images to single image to decrease feature number. Experimental results show that the method can efficiently achieve good balance between matching time and stability.

Abstract:
A new anodizing process at low AC voltage (10 V) was used to prepare an electrochemical anodized film on AZ91D magnesium alloy in the electrolyte containing NaOH and Na2SiO3. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) system was used to study the characteristics of the film-forming and growth process of the anodizing oxidation film on the AZ91D magnesium alloy. The influence of the parameters of oxidation process on film growth process and the properties of the film were also investigated by using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and electrochemical analyzer. It is found that the oxidation film on the AZ91D magnesium is even, non-porous and flat-shape. The growth process of oxidation film show superposition-type and the phase composition of the oxidation film is mainly Mg2SiO4. In addition, the corrosion resistance of anodic film on the AZ91D magnesium alloy is superior to the blank sample in 3.5%(mass fraction)NaCl solution.
