Variational method based robust adaptive control for a guided spinning rocket

In this paper, a robust adaptive controller is designed for a guided spinning rocket, whose dynamics presents the characteristics of pitch-yaw cross coupling, fast time-varying aerodynamics parameters and wide flight envelop. First, a coupled nonlinear six-degree-of-freedom equation of motion for a guided spinning rocket is developed, and the lateral acceleration motion is modeled as a control plant with time-varying matched uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. Then, a robust adaptive control method is proposed by combining Bregman divergence and variational method to achieve fast adaption and maintain bounded tracking. The stability of the resulting closed-loop system is proved, and the ultimate bound and convergence rate are also analyzed. Finally, numerical simulations are performed for a single operating point and the whole flight trajectory to show the robustness and adaptability of the proposed method with respect to time-varying uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics.     

明胶溶液及明胶-PEG复合纺丝液流变性研究

通过对明胶溶液和明胶-PEG混合溶液流变性的研究发现,在实验所用的剪切力范围内,明胶溶液和明胶-PEG混合溶液在不同浓度、温度和pH值时均为胀塑性流体,且其粘度随着浓度的增加呈指数增长,随着温度的增加而指数降低.相同质量分数的明胶-PEG混合溶液的粘度明显大于明胶溶液的粘度,表明PEG和明胶之间存在相互作用.在明胶的等电点处,明胶溶液和明胶-PEG混合溶液都具有最低的粘度;不过,明胶-PEG混合溶液对pH的敏感性有所降低.通过对明胶溶液和明胶-PEG混合溶液非牛顿指数n的分析可知,两种溶液在低浓度和高温时更容易受到外部剪切力的影响.上述研究结果对明胶-PEG复合纺丝液的制备具有指导意义.

Mechanism of interconnected synchronized switch damping for vibration control of blades

The Synchronized Switch Damping (SSD) is regarded as a promising alternative to mitigate the vibration of thin-walled structures in aero-engines, especially for blades or bladed disks. The common manner is to shunt the switch circuit independently to a single piezoelectric structure. This paper is aimed at exploring a novel way of using the SSD, i.e., the SSD is interconnected between two piezoelectric structures or substructures. The damping mechanism, performance, and effective range of the interconnected SSD are studied numerically and experimentally. First, based on a dual cantilever beam finite element model, the time domain and frequency domain modeling and solving methods of the interconnected SSD are deduced and validated. Then, the influence of the amplitude and phase relationship on the damping effect of the interconnected SSD is numerically studied and compared with the shunted SSD. A self-sensing SSD control board is developed, and experimental studies are carried out. The results show that the interconnected SSD establishes an additional energy channel between the corresponding piezoelectric structures. When the amplitudes of the two cantilever beams are different, the interconnected SSD balances the vibration level of each beam. When the amplitudes of the two cantilever beams are the same, if the appropriate interconnection manner is selected according to the phase, the resonance peak can be reduced by more than 30%. When the vibration is in-phase/out-of-phase, the damping generated by the interconnected SSD in a cross/parallel manner is even more significant than the shunted SSD. Furthermore, this novel connection scheme reduces the number of SSD circuits in half. Finally, for engineering applications, we implement the proposed damping technology to the finite element model of a typical dummy bladed disk. A piezoelectric damping ratio of 13.7% is achieved when the amount of piezo material is only 10% of blade mass. Compared with traditional friction dampers, the major advancements of the interconnected SSD are: (A) it can reduce the vibration level of blades without friction interface; (B) the space constraint is overcome, i.e., the vibration energy is not necessarily dissipated independently in one sector or through physically adjacent blades, and instead, the dissipation and transfer of vibrational energy can be realized between any blade pair. If a specific gating circuit is adopted to adjust the interconnection manner of the SSD, vibration mitigation under variable working conditions with different engine orders will be expected; (C) designers do not need to worry about the annoying nonlinearities related to working conditions anymore.

针对超临界二氧化碳（SCO₂）旋转机械面临的严重泄漏、气流激振引发转子失稳等问题，以美国通用电气公司10MWe SCO₂循环中高压涡轮的轴端密封为研究对象，设计了螺旋角15°和30°的螺旋槽、T型槽和ST型槽的四种槽型结构的干气密封。采用基于动网格技术和非定常CFD数值方法的微尺度摄动模型，研究了在实验边界条件下干气密封的稳态性能及在轴向简谐微扰动下SCO₂涡轮轴端干气密封的非稳态动力学特性。对比分析了3种动压槽深度、2种动压槽角度下的干气密封泄漏量、静态气膜刚度、动态气膜刚度和阻尼系数。研究表明：四种槽型均满足泄漏流量的设计要求。随着动压槽深度的增加，干气密封开启力与泄漏流量均增大。ST型槽干气密封有着较大的气膜刚度和刚漏比，同时其在面对轴向微尺度摄动时最为稳定，是综合性能最优秀的干气密封结构。
