High energy-density propulsion—reducing the risk to humans in planetary exploration

The potential benefits to humankind of space exploration are tremendous. Space is not only the final frontier but is also the next marketplace. The orbital space above Earth offers tremendous opportunities for both strategic assets and commercial development. The critical obstacle retarding the use of the space around the Earth is the lack of low cost access to orbit. Further out, the next giant leap for mankind will be the human exploration of Mars. Almost certainly within the next 30 years, a human crew will brave the isolation, the radiation, and the lack of gravity to walk on and explore the Red planet. Both of these missions will change the outlook and perspective of every human being on the planet. However, these missions are expensive and extremely difficult. Chemical propulsion has demonstrated an inability to achieve orbit cheaply and is a very high-risk option to accomplish the Mars mission. An alternative solution is to develop a high performance propulsion system. Nuclear propulsion has the potential to be such a system. The question will be whether humanity is willing to take on the challenge.     

求解含多个右端向量非对称线性方程组的自适应块拟最小残量IOM(q)算法

许多实际应用问题需要求解含多个右端向量的大型非对称线性方程组 ,通常是把原来方程组分成单独几个含一个右端向量的方程组 ,再用某种迭代法分别单个求解 ,而更加经济有效的方法是应用能同时产生几个迭代向量的块迭代法来直接求解。本文在 IOM(q)算法的基础上 ,提出一种求解此类方程组的块拟最小残量 IOM(q)算法 ,讨论了如何收缩掉已收敛的部分方程组以及如何从产生的块 Krylov序列中删除线性相关或几乎线性相关向量的自适应技术。数值试验表明 ,此新的自适应块算法比块 GMRES算法及其他相关算法具有更好的收敛行为、更少的计算量和 CPU计算时间 ,是求解此类方程组的一种更加经济有效的算法。

Space weather: its effects and predictability

Terrestrial technology is now, and increasingly, sensitive to space weather. Most space weather is caused by solar storms and the resulting changes to the Earth's radiation environment and the magnetosphere. The Sun as the driver of space weather is under intense observation but remains to be adequately modelled. Recent spacecraft measurements are greatly improving models of solar activity, the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetosphere, and models of the radiation belts. In-situ data updates the basic magnetospheric model to provide specific details of high-energy electron flux at satellite orbits. Shock wave effects at the magnetopause can also be coarsely predicted. However, the specific geomagnetic effects at ground level depend on the calculation of magnetic and electric fields and further improvements are needed. New work on physical models is showing promise of raising geomagnetic and ionospheric predictability above the synoptic climatological level. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Modelling of Spall in an Anisotropic Aluminium Alloy

Spall caused by hypervelocity impacts at the lower range of velocities could result in significant damage to spacecraft. A number of polycrystalline alloys, used in spacecraft manufacturing, exhibit a pronounced anisotropy in their mechanical properties. The aluminium alloy AA 7010, whose orthotropy is a consequence of the meso-scale phase distribution or grain morphology, has been chosen for this investigation. The material failure observed in plate impact was simulated using a number of spall models. The Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength have been studied as a function of orientation, and compared to experimental results.

一种可抑制三次谐波的五相混合式步进电机空间矢量脉宽调制优化控制策略

五相混合式步进电机因其定位精度高、转矩脉动小以及转矩密度高等优点而应用愈加广泛。为进一步减小其运行噪声、提高系统整体效率,本文提出一种可抑制三次谐波的五相混合式步进电机空间矢量脉宽调制(Space vector pulse width modulation,SVPWM)优化控制策略。首先搭建了考虑互感条件下的五相混合式步进电机解耦控制数学模型。在此基础上,采用相邻两大矢量和两中矢量合成混合电压矢量的SVPWM控制策略,并给出了相应的五相混合式步进电机双闭环控制系统。本文所提的混合SVPWM算法通过利用大、中矢量在基波、三次谐波双坐标系对应关系以达到抑制三次谐波的效果,能够有效降低相电流纹波和谐波含量。最后,研制了一套基于FPGA的实验平台,对所提策略与传统滞环算法、大矢量SVPWM算法进行对比研究,重点分析了3种算法对相电流纹波和谐波含量的影响,从而验证了所提算法的正确性和优越性。
