ESA developments in life support technology: achievements and future priorities.

Following an enthusiastic start in 1985, ESA's life support technology development programme was re-assessed in the mid- to late-1990s to reflect the strong reduction in European manned space ambitions which occurred at that time. Further development was essentially restricted to activities that could constitute ISS upgrades or enhancements, or support ISS utilisation/operations, together with a single, limited, activity (MELISSA) aimed at bioregenerative life support, in the continuing hope that there might be "life after Station". The paper describes the current status of these activities and summarises the main priorities for future development that were identified at the April 1999 Workshop on Advanced Life Support.     

Radio fine structures in dm–cm wavelength range associated with magnetic reconnection processes

Radio bursts with fine structures in decimetric–centimetric wave range are generally believed to manifest the primary energy release process during flare/CME events. By spectropolarimeters in 1–2 GHz, 2.6–3.8 GHz, and 5.2–7.6 GHz at NAOC/Huairou with very high temporal (1.25–8 ms) and spectral (4–20 MHz) resolutions, the zebra patterns, spikes, and new types of radio fine structures with mixed frequency drift features are observed during several significant flare/CME events. In this paper we will discuss the occurrence of radio fine structures during the impulsive phase of flares and/or CME initiations, which may be connected to the magnetic reconnection processes.     

测量船船摇前馈数据处理方法研究及应用

船摇前馈是航天测量船稳定性设计方法之一。实践证明,船摇前馈对改善系统误差有益,目标速度前馈特别是加速度前馈的改善效果要比船摇前馈的好。分析原因,一方面是目标相对船摇来说变化慢,低频分量多,滤波后能够比较准确地得到所要的值,前馈精度也就高;另一方面是船摇前馈值特别是加速度前馈比较难以准确获得。因此,准确地计算前馈量,是补偿测量设备伺服系统滞后造成的误差,达到高精度地跟踪目标的关键之一。本文详细给出了船摇前馈量的具体计算公式,并在卫星发射任务中进行了应用和验证。

运输类飞机结构设计安全系数的探讨

中国民用航空规章运输类飞机适航标准25.303要求采用1.5的安全系数,该要求同其他相关适航条款,例如25.307"结构符合性的证明"、25.603"材料"、25.605"制造方法"、25.613"材料的强度性能和材料的设计值"等,共同保证了飞机结构的高可靠性。理论上,当材料、载荷、分析等方面的不确定性降低,采用低于1.5的安全系数可以保证结构具有同等的高可靠性;另一方面,当材料、载荷、分析等方面的不确定性大于目前适航规章所允许的水平,通过采用大于1.5的安全系数也可以保证结构具有等同的高可靠性。为了在民用运输类飞机的适航取证/审定过程中,在保证结构可靠性的前提下,能够根据具体情况适当调整结构安全系数,在综合研究中国民用航空规章第25部《运输类飞机适航标准》相关条款内在联系的基础上,探讨了载荷、材料性能、分析方法等不确定性对飞机结构安全系数的贡献。研究结果表明,目前1.5的飞机结构安全系数,用于考虑载荷、材料性能、分析方法等不确定性的系数分量分别为1.2、1.12、1.116.

Stability analysis of an aeroelastic system with friction

In this paper, harmonic balance method, exact formulation and numerical simulation method are adopted to study the effects of different friction stiffness on the stability of 1.5 degrees of freedom aeroelastic system. On this basis, the expressions of input energy and dissipated energy are deduced, and the energy method is used to reveal the mechanisms of the stable boundary and unstable boundary existing in the system and the effects of different friction stiffness on the stability of the system. Studies have shown that the stability region and the critical aerodynamic damping ratio of the system rise with the increase of the friction stiffness, while the friction stiffness has little effect on the stability boundary. In the analysis of the stability of system, the results of harmonic balance method, exact formulation and Newmark of numerical simulation method are in good agreement. Compared with exact formulation and numerical simulation method, the concept and conclusion of harmonic balance method are simple in the system stability analysis.     

Stifness modeling and analysis of a novel 4-DOF PKM for manufacturing large components

Faster response to orientation varying is one of the outstanding abilities of a parallel kinematic machine（PKM）.It enables such a system to act as a reconfgurable module employed to machine large components effciently.The stiffness formulation and analysis are the beforehand key tasks for its parameters design.A novel PKM with four degrees of freedom（DOFs）is proposed in this paper.The topology behind it is 2PUS-2PRS parallel mechanism.Its semianalytical stiffness model is frstly obtained,where the generalized Jacobian matrix of 2PUS-2PRS is formulated with the help of the screw theory and the stiffness coeffcients of complicated components are estimated by integrating fnite element analysis and numerical ftting.Under the help of the model,it is predicted that the property of system stiffness distributes within the given workspace,which features symmetry about a certain plane and is also verifed by performing fnite element analysis of the virtual prototype.Furthermore,key parameters affecting the system stiffness are identifed through sensitivity analysis.These provide insights for further optimization design of this PKM.
