Hopkinson系统中套筒相对长度对结构件过载值的影响

采用Hopkinson压杆实验装置和Ansys/Ls-Dyna商业计算软件,针对高过载试验中结构件过载值受重力影响的问题进行研究。重力可以使结构件与入射杆之间发生滑移,使得两者不同轴,造成实验结果偏差。分析中不可忽略重力对试验的影响。分析套筒相对长度对试验结果的影响。当相对长度小于0.6时,不能给结构件施加有效的约束;当套筒相对长度大于0.6时,可以认为重力影响基本消失,可以有效地降低重力方向的影响。     

The Crab pulsar seen with AquEYE at Asiago Cima Ekar observatory

We are developing fast photon-counter instruments to study the rapid variability of astrophysical sources by time tagging photon arrival times with unprecedented accuracy, making use of a Rubidium clock and GPS receiver. The first realization of such optical photon-counters, dubbed AquEYE (the Asiago Quantum Eye), was mounted in 2008 at the 182 cm Copernicus Observatory in Asiago. AquEYE observed the Crab pulsar several times and collected data of extraordinary quality that allowed us to perform accurate optical timing of the Crab pulsar and to study the pulse shape stability on a timescale from days to years with an excellent definition. Our results reinforce the evidence for decadal stability of the inclination angle between the spin and magnetic axis of the Crab pulsar. Future realizations of our instrument will make use of the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time signal.     

煤油两相连续旋转爆震燃烧室工作特性试验研究

为了深入分析煤油燃料两相连续旋转爆震燃烧室的工作特性,采用富氧空气或氧气为氧化剂,通过试验得到爆震波的时域、频域特征,对两相连续旋转爆震燃烧室中爆震波的起爆过程和稳定后的传播过程进行研究。利用基于激光散射相位多普勒分析(PDA)技术对雾化流场进行了测量,得到喷注器出口不同平面处煤油液滴速度与直径的统计分布。试验结果表明当煤油流量为78g/s,氧气流量为224.0g/s,空气流量为72.5g/s,当量比为1.083时,燃烧室在单波模态下工作,爆震波传播频率为0.904k Hz,平均转速为649m/s。使用氧气作为氧化剂,当煤油流量为81.8g/s,氧气流量为231.8g/s,当量比为1.222时,燃烧室在双波模态下工作,爆震波传播频率为5.882k Hz,平均转速为1848m/s,传播过程中表现出很强的非定常性。在当量比为0.805~0.908的富氧工况下,随着氧化剂中含氧量的增加,爆震波的速度逐步增大,最终达到2440m/s;在当量比为1.057~1.220的富燃工况下,随含氧量的增加爆震波速度呈现线性增长的特征。     

发动机喷管对火箭气动静稳定及控制特性影响研究

发动机喷管外露于火箭尾部是常见情形,但在火箭气动设计过程中却经常不予考虑。利用数值计算方法,研究喷管外露部分对火箭气动静稳定及控制特性的影响。计算结果表明:在超声速Ma=2~12、攻角30°范围内,外露喷管对火箭气动静稳定性有1%~2%的增加,且气动控制效率明显,喷管±3°摆角产生的气动控制力矩约为头部空气舵±20°摆角的1~2倍。因此,对于确实存在喷管外露的火箭,在气动特性设计过程中需充分考虑喷管对静稳定性的影响,甚至可以考虑将喷管作为气动控制面,用于火箭无动力滑行段的姿态控制。

非线性能量阱对飞轮振动抑制效果的实验研究

利用薄片金属梁作为非线性刚度元件，构建一种非线性能量阱。为了验证非线性能量阱对飞轮振动特性的抑制效果，搭建地面飞轮测试系统。分别采用力锤敲击和飞轮以恒定转速运行的方法施加不同载荷，对安装非线性能量阱前后测试系统各典型位置的振动响应进行对比研究。利用实测数据，采用傅里叶变换方法将动态响应信息分别在时间域和频率域内展开。研究表明：力锤敲击产生的冲击载荷和飞轮以恒定转速运行产生的稳态载荷均可以激发非线性能量阱定向能量传输；受非线性能量阱的影响，柔性支架设备安装面和飞轮安装面振动响应得到有效抑制。但是，由于非线性能量阱阻尼和吸振子质量较小，不同程度削弱了其振动抑制效果。     

High temporal resolution global PWV dataset of 2005–2016 by using a neural network approach to determine the mean temperature of the atmosphere

Atmospheric water vapour plays an important role in phenomena related to the global hydrologic cycle and climate change. However, the rapid temporal–spatial variation in global tropospheric water vapour has not been well investigated due to a lack of long-term, high-temporal-resolution precipitable water vapour (PWV). Accordingly, this study generates an hourly PWV dataset for 272 ground-based International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Service (IGS) stations over the period of 2005–2016 using the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD) derived from global-scale GNSS observation. The root mean square (RMS) of the hourly ZTD obtained from the IGS tropospheric product is approximately 4 mm. A fifth-generation reanalysis dataset of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF ERA5) is used to obtain hourly surface temperature (T) and pressure (P), which are first validated with GNSS synoptic station data and radiosonde data, respectively. Then, T and P are used to calculate the water vapour-weighted atmospheric mean temperature (Tm) and zenith hydrostatic delay (ZHD), respectively. T and P at the GNSS stations are obtained via an interpolation in the horizontal and vertical directions using the grid-based ERA5 reanalysis dataset. Here, Tm is calculated using a neural network model, whereas ZHD is obtained using an empirical Saastamoinen model. The RMS values of T and P at the collocated 693 radiosonde stations are 1.6 K and 3.1 hPa, respectively. Therefore, the theoretical error of PWV caused by the errors in ZTD, T and P is on the order of approximately 2.1 mm. A practical comparison experiment is performed using 97 collocated radiosonde stations and 23 GNSS stations equipped with meteorological sensors. The RMS and bias of the hourly PWV dataset are 2.87/?0.16 and 2.45/0.55 mm, respectively, when compared with radiosonde and GNSS stations equipped with meteorological sensors. Additionally, preliminary analysis of the hourly PWV dataset during the EI Niño event of 2014–2016 further indicates the capability of monitoring the daily changes in atmospheric water vapour. This finding is interesting and significant for further climate research.     

A concept mission for the Stellar Population and Evolution with Cubesats (SPEC)

Binary or multiple stellar systems, constituting almost a third of the content of the Milky Way, represent a high priority astronomical target due to their repercussions on the stellar dynamical and evolutionary parameters. Moreover the spectral study of such class of stars allows to better constrain the evolutionary theories of the Galactic stellar populations. By resolving the members of stellar systems through photometric observations we are able to perform more detailed measurements to infer their mass. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of a cubesat based mission including an optical payload to directly optically discriminate the members of a selected sample of binary systems. The scientific targets, consisting 11?M class dwarf stars binary systems, have been extracted from the already studied Riaz catalogue. These subset has been selected considering the star distance, the members angular separation, and the distance from the Galactic plane (due to limit the background and foreground contamination). The satellite concept is based on a 6 unit Cubesat embedding some commercial off the shelf components and an ad hoc designed optical payload occupying almost 4 units. The optical configuration has been chosen in order to fit the angular resolution requirements, as derived from the target characteristics. Moreover, according to the optical analysis and the computed field of view some requirements on the attitude control system have been inferred and fulfilled by the component selection. The paper is organized as in the following: a brief scientific introduction is made; consequently the project is described with particular attention to the optical design and the standard sub-systems; finally the conclusions are drawn and the future perspectives are investigated.
