New He neutron monitor for Chilean Cosmic-Ray Observatories from the Altiplanic zone to the Antarctic zone

We present the results of three years of continuous operations and the principal characteristics of our new ³He neutron monitors installed in the Chilean Network of Cosmic-Ray Observatories. During the years 2004 and 2005, we began the construction of this International Geophysical Year (IGY)-type ³He neutron monitor, with the intention of replacing the older proportional tubes of the BF₃. These new monitors are installed in stations at locations ranging from the near-equatorial zone to the Antarctic zone. As a reference system, we used our own BF₃ neutron monitors and previously complemented the collected data with a Monte Carlo simulation for the proton-yield function response of the Putre neutron monitor. Herein, we present for the first time the data obtained from our new high-mountain observatory located in the Altiplanic zone.     

3D information from 2D images recorded in the European Modular Cultivation System on the ISS

The European Modular Cultivation System (EMCS) on the ISS allows long-term biological experiments, e.g. on plants. Video cameras provide near real-time 2D images from these experiments. A method to obtain 3D coordinates and stereoscopic images from these 2D images has been developed and is described in this paper. The procedure was developed to enhance the data output of the MULTIGEN-1 experiment in 2007. One of the main objectives of the experiment was to study growth movements of the Arabidopsis plants and the effect of gravity on these. 3D data were important during parts of the experiment and the paper presents the method developed to acquire 3D data, the accuracy of the data, limitations to the technique and ways to improve the accuracy. Sequences of 3D data obtained from the MULTIGEN-1 experiment are used to illustrate the potential of this newfound capability of the EMCS. In the experiment setup, a positional depth accuracy of about ±0.4 mm for relative object distances and an absolute depth accuracy of about ±1.4 mm for time dependent phenomena was reached. The ability to both view biological specimens in 3D as well as obtaining quantitative 3D data added greatly to the scientific output of the MULTIGEN-1 experiment. The uses of the technique to other researchers and their experiments are discussed.     

A preliminary Chandra X-ray spectroscopy of the supernova remnant N132D

We present the preliminary results of a Chandra X-ray study of N132D, a young shell-like supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The equivalent width maps of emissions from O, Ne, Mg, Si, and S are provided. Spatially resolved spectral analysis for the small-scale regions were tentatively performed. X-ray spectra of the interior can be described with a single-thermal model. The faint interior regions have lower density, higher temperature above 1 keV than that of bright interior regions. The X-ray spectra along the shell can be phenomenally fitted with either a double-vpshock model or a vpshock + powerlaw model. If the non-thermal component is true, N132D would be listed as another X-ray synchrotron SNR.

基于二维资源管理的多功能雷达任务调度算法

动态孔径分割技术为相控阵雷达针对不同任务灵活分配孔径资源提供了可能,而传统的资源调度方法仅基于单一孔径条件研究了时间资源的优化分配问题。针对雷达搜索、跟踪与成像任务的自适应调度问题,提出了一种基于时间-孔径二维资源管理的雷达资源调度算法。该算法建立了雷达孔径分割条件下的二维资源调度模型,确立了能量资源约束条件;利用基于压缩感知的稀疏孔径逆合成孔径雷达（ISAR）成像技术,使雷达在完成目标搜索和跟踪任务的同时实现对目标的成像;定义了调度算法性能的评价指标。在仿真实验中将该算法与另外2种算法进行对比,验证了所提算法在高度成功率、二维资源利用率与任务并行度这3种性能指标上具有优越性。     

RP-3航空煤油层流燃烧特性的影响因素

为了获得RP 3航空煤油燃烧特性的主要影响因素,在定容燃烧弹中试验测量了初始温度范围为390~450K、初始压力范围为01~07MPa、当量比范围为06~15条件下RP 3航空煤油的火焰发展特性,并分析了RP 3航空煤油火焰稳定性与层流燃烧速率的主要影响因素。结果表明:无拉伸火焰传播速率与层流燃烧速率随初始压力的升高或初始温度的降低而逐渐降低,但燃烧压力峰值却逐渐升高;随当量比的升高,无拉伸火焰传播速率、层流燃烧速率与燃烧压力峰值呈现先增加后降低的趋势,无拉伸火焰传播速率与层流燃烧速率在当量比为12时达到最大,燃烧压力峰值在当量比为10达到最大;马克斯坦长度随当量比的增加或初始压力的升高而逐渐变小,火焰前锋面稳定性变差,但是,初始温度对马克斯坦长度的影响不确定。      

预测平纹编织C/SiC复合材料等效导热系数的三维纤维随机模型

提出了一种能够刻画平纹编织C/SiC复合材料编织结构的三维纤维随机模型,探讨了微观结构影响宏观等效导热系数的机理。采用蒙特卡罗法模拟纤维位置的随机分布,用有限元法计算等效导热系数,通过数理统计方法分析在不同纤维体积分数下等效导热系数的随机分布规律;并且比较了相同纤维体积分数下,纤维随机模型平均等效导热系数与纤维周期排列模型等效导热系数的差别。结果表明:在不同体积分数下,纤维位置随机等效导热系数都呈高斯分布;纤维随机模型中纤维会出现聚集现象,形成局部“导热热障”,所以纤维随机模型平均等效导热系数小于纤维周期排列模型,这种差异在中等纤维体积分数下最明显。      

Nonlinear bending analysis of a 3D braided composite cylindrical panel subjected to transverse loads in thermal environments

The aim of this study is to investigate nonlinear bending for a 3-Dimensional(3D)braided composite cylindrical panel which has transverse loads on its finite length. By refining a micro-macro-mechanical model, the 3D braided composite can be treated as a representative average cell system. The geometric structural properties of its components deeply depend on their positions in the section of the cylindrical panel. The embedded elastic medium of the panel can be described by a Pasternak elastic foundation. Via using the shell theory of the von Ka′rma′nDonnell type of kinematic nonlinearity, governing equations can be established to get higherorder shear deformation. The mixed Galerkin-perturbation method is applied to get the nonlinear bending behavior of the 3D braided cylindrical panel with a simply supported boundary condition.Based on the analysis of the braided composite cylindrical panel with variable initial stress, geometric parameter, fiber volume fraction, and elastic foundation, serial numerical illustrations are archived to represent the appropriate nonlinear bending responses.
