High reynolds number tools and techniques for civil aircraft design - an overview of the HiReTT programme

The collaborative research project HiReTT, coordinated by Airbus UK, is focused on understanding the effects of scale on aircraft drag. The project was launched in January 2000 as part of the European Fifth Framework Programme. In this paper an overview of the HiReTT project objectives and work plan is given to together with progress achieved in the first year of the project. The improvement in analysis tools and test techniques delivered by this programme will enable an accurate prediction of aircraft performance to be made with the aircraft design process that can be validated ahead of first flight.     

Towards a new level of safety

In 1998, motivated by the need to improve aviation safety procedures and regulations in order to keep pace with the steadily growing volume of air traffic, the Joint Aviation Authorities launched its Joint Safety Strategy Initiative. In this talk, the main features of that initiative and its constituent activities are described.     

Applications of structural efficiency assessment method on structural-mechanical characteristics integrated design in aero-engines

In the design process of advanced aero-engines, it is necessary to carry out an effective analysis method between structural features and mechanical characteristics for a better structural optimization. Based on the structural composition and functions of aero-engines, the concept and contents of structural efficiency can reflect the relation between structural features and mechanical characteristics. In order to achieve the integrated design of structural and mechanical characteristics, one quantitative analysis method called Structural Efficiency Assessment Method (SEAM) was put forward. The structural efficiency coefficient was obtained by synthesizing the parameters to quantitatively evaluate the aero-engine structure design level. Parameterization method to evaluate structural design quality was realized. After analyzing the structural features of an actual dual-rotor system in typical high bypass ratio turbofan engines, the mechanical characteristics and structural efficiency coefficient were calculated. Structural efficiency coefficient of high-pressure rotor (0.43) is higher than that of low-pressure rotor (0.29), which directly shows the performance of the former is better, there is room for improvement in structural design of the low-pressure rotor. Thus the direction of structural optimization was pointed out. The applications of SEAM shows that the method is operational and effective in the evaluation and improvement of structural design.     

A holistic approach to SIM platform and its application to early-warning satellite system

This study proposes a new simulation platform named Simulation Integrated Management (SIM) for the analysis of parallel and distributed systems. The platform eases the process of designing and testing both applications and architectures. The main characteristics of SIM are flexibility, scalability, and expandability. To improve the efficiency of project development, new models of early-warning satellite system were designed based on the SIM platform. Finally, through a series of experiments, the correctness of SIM platform and the aforementioned early-warning satellite models was validated, and the systematical analyses for the orbital determination precision of the ballistic missile during its entire flight process were presented, as well as the deviation of the launch/landing point. Furthermore, the causes of deviation and prevention methods will be fully explained. The simulation platform and the models will lay the foundations for further validations of autonomy technology in space attack-defense architecture research.     

双层乳胶气球的高空平漂机理及垂直轨迹模拟

双层乳胶气球克服了单层乳胶气球的缺点,可以在高空平漂以实现持续气象观测,但是其高空平漂受多因素影响比较复杂,特别是气球充气量主要依赖工程经验,施放成功率不高,亟需提供理论指导。通过试验数据证明了浮重平衡是双层乳胶气球实现高空平漂的必要条件,推导得出内、外球氢气充气量和昼夜温度变化对其运动的影响;建立了双层乳胶气球的几何模型和动力学模型,结合实地施放试验,对其升空和平漂过程轨迹进行模拟,由此探究了内、外球充气量对平漂高度的影响。研究结果表明:内球充气量是决定平漂高度的主要因素,并受昼夜温度变化影响,当内、外球规格分别为750g、500g,负载约1kg时,内球拉力每增大或减小0.04kg,最终平漂高度将对应升高或降低约5km,而外球充气量对其平漂高度无影响。

Towards intelligent design optimization: Progress and challenge of design optimization theories and technologies for plastic forming

Plastic forming is one of enabling and fundamental technologies in advanced manufacturing chains. Design optimization is a critical way to improve the performance of the forming system, exploit the advantages of high productivity, high product quality, low production cost and short time to market and develop precise, accurate, green, and intelligent (smart) plastic forming technology. However, plastic forming is quite complicated, relating to multi-physics field coupling, multi-factor influence, multi-defect constraint, and triple nonlinear, etc., and the design optimization for plastic forming involves multi-objective, multi-parameter, multi-constraint, nonlinear, high-dimensionality, non-continuity, time-varying, and uncertainty, etc. Therefore, how to achieve accurate and efficient design optimization of products, equipment, tools/dies, and processing as well as materials characterization has always been the research frontier and focus in the field of engineering and manufacturing. In recent years, with the rapid development of computing science, data science and internet of things (IoT), the theories and technologies of design optimization have attracted more and more attention, and developed rapidly in forming process. Accordingly, this paper first introduced the framework of design optimization for plastic forming. Then, focusing on the key problems of design optimization, such as numerical model and optimization algorithm, this paper summarized the research progress on the development and application of the theories and technologies about design optimization in forming process, including deterministic and uncertain optimization. Moreover, the applicability of various modeling methods and optimization algorithms was elaborated in solving the design optimization problems of plastic forming. Finally, considering the development trends of forming technology, this paper discusses some challenges of design optimization that may need to be solved and faced in forming process.
