Parameter optimization for torsion spring of deployable solar array system with multiple clearance joints considering rigid–flexible coupling dynamics

In this paper, four novel evaluation indices and corresponding hierarchical optimization strategies are proposed for a deployable solar array system considering panel flexibility and joint clearance. The deployable solar array model consists of a rigid main-body, two panels and four key mechanisms, containing torsion spring mechanism, closed cable loop mechanism, latch mechanism and attitude adjustment mechanism. Rigid and flexible components are established by Nodal Coordinate Formulation and A...     

A model-free method for attitude estimation and inertial parameter identification of a noncooperative target

Determining the attitude and inertial parameters of a noncooperative target is essential in an on-orbit servicing mission. Various methods based on machine vision have been proposed, but most of them require the 3D model of the target. This paper proposes a model-free method through sequentially registering point clouds captured by a depth camera. Our main contributions are the avoidance of the ambiguity in registration, and the combination of the multiplicative extended Kalman filter and the pose graph optimization to reduce the effect of measurement noise and drift error. A hardware experiment was performed to generate the sequence of point clouds of a three-axis free-floating target and validate our method. The result shows that the proposed method outperforms existing methods and effectively identifies the inertial parameters, including the normalized principal moments of inertia and the orientation of principal axes.     

Quick identification of guidance law for an incoming missile using multiple-model mechanism

A guidance law parameter identification model based on Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network is established. The scenario of the model is that an incoming missile (called missile) attacks a target aircraft (called aircraft) using Proportional Navigation (PN) guidance law. The parameter identification is viewed as a regression problem in this paper rather than a classification problem, which means the assumption that the parameter is in a finite set of possible results is discarded. To increase the training speed of the neural network and obtain the nonlinear mapping relationship between kinematic information and the guidance law parameter of the incoming missile, an output processing method called Multiple-Model Mechanism (MMM) is proposed. Compared with a conventional GRU neural network, the model established in this paper can deal with data of any length through an encoding layer in front of the input layer. The effectiveness of the proposed Multiple-Model Mechanism and the performance of the guidance law parameter identification model are demonstrated using numerical simulation.     

基于智能差分算法的摩擦力补偿方法研究

针对光电平台低速转动时，受摩擦力影响较大，使得速度跟随曲线出现“死区”现象，导致跟踪性能明显下降这一问题，提出了一种基于智能差分进化算法和Lurge摩擦模型的摩擦力补偿控制方法。通过采集记录光电转台正、反向匀速运动时的摩擦力大小，建立转台不同速度和摩擦力之间的对应关系。通过最小二乘法对摩擦模型静态参数进行分段拟合，采用智能差分进化算法辨识摩擦模型动态参数，并基于反馈的速度信息和获得的摩擦模型等效为摩擦补偿力矩输入到电流环控制输入端，实现平台平稳低速运行。实验结果表明：摩擦力补偿后速度响应误差由补偿前的±0.1°/s减小到±0.04 °/s，提出方法效果显著。
