2013, 39(10): 1286-1291.
Abstract:
A novel multi-step feed horn with a curved inner wall was introduced. The curve profile of its inner wall is composed of the sine profile and the Gaussian profile. This feed horn can be easily manufactured due to its simplified structure, and its radiation performance can be improved by optimizing the inner wall curve profile.

2013, 39(10): 1298-1302.
Abstract:
To allow continuous crack monitoring of aircraft metallic structures during their service, a fatigue crack monitoring method was presented based on modern surface technology and electrical potential technique. A crack monitoring coating sensor, consisting of the insulated separating layer, the conductive sensing layer and the packaging protective layer, was deposited on the hot spots of the structure. Fatigue crack monitoring experiments were carried out. Experimental results show that the information about crack can be acquired through analyzing the changes of the resistance (electrical potential) values of the surface coating sensor and the crack on different spots of aluminum alloy joint structures can be monitored availably at the same time. Moreover, the fatigue property of the specimen with surface coating sensor and that of the original specimen were studied. Contrast experiment results show that there is no obvious influence on the fatigue property of the 2A12-T4 aluminum alloy to prepare the coating sensor on its surface by modern surface technology.

2013, 39(10): 1314-1318.
Abstract:
To study the dynamic characteristic and stability of the launch vehicle tank pressurization system working in random vibration condition, harmony superposition method was used to simulate the random process; and component-shell-placement was introduced as vibration excitation to modify the existing model. The gas pipes and components were respectively modeled using the one-dimensional flow equations under the Lagrange reference frame and the ordinary differential equations, working processes of the pressurization system in/without the vibration condition were simulated. In the vibration condition, pressure fluctuation was observed, which may lead to the oscillation of the regulator, and destroy the stability of the component. The vibration presents little conspicuous influence with the ullage pressure during the full course of work. The data of the system working in non-vibration condition was compared to the given test record, a satisfying agreement was reported. The mathematical model and calculating method are validated to be effective in the calculation of the working process of the launch vehicle tank pressurization system.

2013, 39(10): 1319-1324.
Abstract:
Aiming at gradual fault prediction of electronic system, a method based on adaptive relevance vector machine (RVM) was proposed. Firstly, the phase space of electronic system performance parameter time series was reconstructed, and then the corresponding relationship between the input and the output of RVM was educed. Secondly, the artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) was adopted to realize the adaptive optimization of method parameters, which took the embedding dimension and the RVM kernel parameter as the artificial fish position and took the opposite number of leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) error as the objective function. Lastly, the performance of the proposed method was validated by radar transmitter fault prediction experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better accuracy and reliability than the existed methods.
Anchoring point and blow-off mechanism of Bunsen laminar premixed flame
Huang Xia, Huang Yong, Gong Fan
2013, 39(10): 1325-1330.
Abstract:
A velocity-matching method (VM Method) combined with the wall quenching effect was used to analyze the anchoring point movements and the blow-off characteristics of a methane-air laminar premixed Bunsen flame in lean and rich conditions. A blow-off model was achieved and proved by experiments. The flame was anchored in the shearing layer near the burner exit, where the local velocity was equilibrium with the flame speed; there was also an ignition area in the boundary layer. This ignition area was diminished when the flow velocity increased or the equivalence ratio was away from the stoichiometric ratio. When the ignition area became a point, the blow-off occurred. The anchoring point movements were predicted by comparing the local flow velocity and the flame speed, and considering the wall quenching effect in a decoupled method. With the increasing incoming velocity, in radial direction the anchoring point moves towards the jet center line, and in flow direction it moves downstream in fuel-lean conditions and upstream in fuel-rich conditions, respectively. This movement and the ignition area analysis predict the blow-off characteristics, and are validated by experiments. The result shows a good precision and proves the blow-off mechanism.

Abstract:
The saucer-shaped aircraft is a kind of all-lifting-vehicle with low aspect ratio. Bionic fin-shaped wing tips were used to improve the induced flow over the saucer-shaped aircraft and impair the induced flow separation, and then the aircraft aerodynamic efficiency could be increased. The high precision wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the induced flow improvement effect of the saucer-shaped lifting body, with the adopting of the fin-shaped wing tips. Numerical simulations basic on the high precision wind tunnel tests were also used. The results show that the fin-shaped wing tips could highly improve the induced flow over the saucer-shaped aircraft.

Ding Kai, Chen Weihai, Wu Xingming, Liu Zhong
2013, 39(10): 1342-1347.
Abstract:
It is difficult to classify scene images with high accuracy when the dataset is relatively large. Spatial pyramid matching was proposed to deal with this problem, but there are some shortages. As an improvement, the algorithm based on normalized cut was proposed. Normalized cut was utilized instead of K-means for clustering. The size of codebook was regulated referring to quantity and size of the images, by calculating sub-codebook for every category and re-clustering the codes. Distance between categories was enlarged by quantifying unknown features with Gaussian model and rescaling the histogram features. Experiments prove that new approach can get higher precision than the original by 4.6% at most.

2013, 39(10): 1360-1365.
Abstract:
A Hammerstein model was proposed to model giant magnetostrictive actuators (GMA). A modified Prandtl-Ishlinskii(MPI) model and an autoregressive model with exogenous input (ARX) were used to represent the static nonlinear part and the linear dynamic part of the Hammerstein model respectively. Model identification method was also given. The proposed model can describe the rate-dependent hysteresis of GMA from 1 Hz to 100 Hz well. A compound controller containing inverse compensator and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback was designed for tracking control. Real time trajectory tracking of single frequency and composite frequency sinusoidal reference inputs with the amplitude of 16 μm was conducted. The root-mean-square error was less than 1μm and the relative error was less than 10%, which verify the effectiveness of the control strategy.

2013, 39(10): 1370-1375.
Abstract:
Based on the global position system(GPS) dual-frequency measured data of international GNSS service (IGS) station in Antarctic region, the variation of ionospheric delay and the impact of ionospheric second-order delay on GPS positioning was analyzed. Result shows, total electron content(TEC) in Antarctic region has frequent fluctuation during the day and the maximum TEC in the daytime changes more intensely than in the mid-latitude area. In Antarctic region, the influence of ionospheric second-order delay on GPS positioning can achieve a magnitude of cm in summer. In case of the applied limitation of global ionosphere maps(GIM) provided by the European Center for orbit determination(CODE) in the polar area, six IGS stations in Antarctic region were chosen as base stations to establish the regional ionosphere model(RIM). Results show, in Antarctic region the positioning precision of RIM is more superior than GIM to some extent.

Geng Jiao, Diao Bo, Chen Shenggang
2013, 39(10): 1392-1396.
Abstract:
Experiments had been done on air-entrained concrete test cubes(air content is 5.9%) experienced alternative actions of freeze-thaw cycles in the seawater to explore the properties deterioration mechanism via testing the compressive strength, the relative dynamic elastic modulus and the mass loss. Then, observing the microstructure of the concrete by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM observation shows that there was barely cracks and crystals in the normally cured concrete, but cracks emerged and gradually developed as the times of freeze-thaw cycle increased. The main cracks developed further and crystals emerged in the concrete experienced 300 cycles. The results show that the alternative actions of freeze-thaw cycles and seawater immersion give rise to the emergence and development of the cracks, chemical reactions produce some dilatability crystals. Both of the physical changes and the chemical reactions make the compressive strength decrease by 8.5%, but have no apparent influence on the relative dynamic elastic modulus and the mass loss.

Zhou Zheng, Liu Jinmang, Tan Xijiang
2013, 39(10): 1397-1402.
Abstract:
A new tracking algorithm was proposed for high maneuvering target based on current statistical (CS) model, modified input estimation (MIE) and unscented strong tracking filter (USTF). The state equation and adaption method of acceleration variance of the CS model were modified with Jerk input estimation. The state covariance, state noise covariance and maneuvering frequency were made jointly adaptive with the support of improved unscented strong tracking filter. The new algorithm can track continuous high maneuver, low maneuver and constant velocity motion accurately in real time when lacking prior information on acceleration. The simulation shows that the new algorithm has better adaptability, higher accuracy and faster convergence than CS-UKF, CS-USTF and interacting multiple-model (IMM) algorithms.

2013, 39(10): 1403-1407.
Abstract:
On the basis of distributed communication and augmented proportional guidance, a kind of distributed collaborative guidance law was designed for maneuver target intercepting based on the network synchronization principle. This guidance law was based on double layer hierarchical cooperative structure, which was composed of local guidance law and distributed coordination strategy. The local guidance law was derived from augmented proportional navigation. Based on the network synchronization principle, distributed coordination strategy which realizes coordinated attack of maneuvering targets at the same time was synthesized. Only the states of missiles were required to be communicated between the nearest-neighbor missiles within-visual-range for the distributed multiple missiles cooperative guidance law, which resulted in the characteristics of scalability and communications. The simulation results demonstrate that this distributed cooperative guidance used by multi-missiles network system can realize coordinated attack of maneuvering target effectively.

Huang Wenjun, Cheng Xiaoquan, Wu Pengfei, Li Zhonghai
2013, 39(10): 1408-1413.
Abstract:
Proper bolted or screw / bonded hybrid joint design can improve the structure efficiency. In order to solve the analysis and design problems that exist in screw / bonded hybrid composite joint structures, a 3D damage accumulation finite element analysis (FEA) model was established based on the software of ABAQUS. Non-linear properties of the adhesives and non-linear touch problems were included in this model. The analysis results of the tensile strength and damage propagation and failure of the joint structures agree with the test results. And the model effectiveness was proved. Then the influence factors such as the flange at the tip of the laminates, adhesive film thickness, adhesive toughness and contact surface friction coefficients on the joint tensile properties were studied. The results show that the flange at the laminate tip can reinforce the hybrid joint structures and improve their tensile strength. Adhesive with high toughness can improve the joint tensile strength and the film thickness almost has no effect on the strength. Higher friction coefficient between the screw pin and the hole surface can give greater joint tensile strength.

Chen Wei, Lu Jingchao, Yuan Liaoyuan, Zhang Weiguo
2013, 39(10): 1414-1420.
Abstract:
An adaptive neural network high gain observer was designed to solve the problem that the states of the flight control system were not absolutely measurable. The adaptive items based on the radial basis function (RBF) network were introduced into the general high gain observer on purpose of the on-line estimation of the modeling errors and the external disturbances. With the combination of the high gain observer and the backstepping control based on the dynamic surface, an adaptive neural network backstepping control approach was proposed. The traditional problem of explosion of calculation in the backstepping control was avoided by the introduction of the first-order filter. The adaptive output feedback controller and the adaptive laws of the RBF network weight vectors were obtained on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory. It is proved that the closed-loop system is semi-globally and uniformly bounded. The simulation results of the flight path angle control system show that the flight path angle can track the command signal without the effect of the modeling errors and the external disturbances, the convergence of the observer is concluded and the robustness of the control system is verified.
