Data-driven prescribed performance control for satellite with large rotational component

In this paper, the high precision attitude control for satellite with large misaligned rotational component is investigated, proposing a novel model-free prescribed performance adaptive control (MF-PPAC) method. Based on the model-free adaptive control (MFAC) strategy, high-precision attitude control is achieved depending on the system measurement rather than the spacecraft mathematical model, which demonstrates the superiority in handling nonlinearity and uncertainty of the spacecraft system, especially for those with unbalance of the rotational component. Furthermore, the transient and the stable-state behavior of the tracking error using MFAC is constrained in the prescribed performance bounds and converges to zero gradually with the utilization of prescribed performance function (PPF) and error transformation method. Finally, the convergence and boundedness of the system error, the bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stability of the proposed MF-PPAC is demonstrated by the contraction mapping theory. Simulation and comparison with disturbance-observer-based PD control and MFAC illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

退化发动机加速性能恢复控制方法

针对退化发动机加速性能下降的现象,提出一种变喘振裕度约束的模型预测控制方法。通过分析退化发动机在加速过程中的工作特点,将加速过程分为三个阶段,在不同阶段采取不同的喘振裕度约束。鉴于模型预测控制能够显式处理约束、采用在线滚动优化来获取最优控制输入,采取模型预测控制方法,并采用具有较高实时性的交替方向乘子法求解优化问题,实现了退化发动机加速性能的恢复。数字仿真结果表明,采用本文所提出的加速性能恢复控制方法后,相比退化发动机,加速过程中所耗费的时间缩短了35%以上。     

级间进出口几何角度对压气机气动性能和封严效果的影响

为了削弱级间泄漏流对压气机性能的不利影响,提出了一种基于Coanda型几何进出口的级间结构,并以一个亚声速单级轴流压气机为研究对象,数值模拟了5°,10°,20°三种不同级间进出口几何角度对压气机性能的影响。结果表明:改进后的级间进出口几何结构使得压气机流量和效率均略有提升。分析原因是级间出口泄漏流以较小角度与主流汇合,增大了静叶进口气流的轴向速度、径向速度,使得静子通道流动堵塞程度减轻,总压损失减小,扩压能力增强。同时,新结构还减小了级间泄漏流的流量系数,改善了级间封严效果。5°,10°,20°角度下的压气机效率最大分别提升了0.68%,0.63%,0.62%。

针对有试验性能退化量参数记录、且(或)有部分数据缺失情况的小样本无失效轴承试验问题,通过由Taylor和Thompson提出的数据模拟法实现补全样本退化量,结合Bootstrap自助法扩大样本量,再根据基于性能退化轨迹的补充信息方法来进行其可靠性评估。选取7组受试轴承的振动退化量,对比在完整数据和带有缺失数据情况下的分析结果,发现可合理利用原舍弃不合规试验的部分有效信息,使之增加可靠性评估的样本数,从而得到较不用这些数据更为准确的结果,且所得结果较用完整数据结果绝对值相差在01以内。对比由极大似然估计法和加权E-Bayes法分析试验寿命数据的结果,发现该方法所得评估结果更优,与试验实际相比误差在10%以内,对于提高评估精度及降低试验成本有积极的实际意义。     

风车状态下转子性能及通道内流动分析

为探究低展弦比压气机转子在风车状态下由压气机模式向涡轮模式转化过程中性能、内部流场结构以及气动损失的演化过程,提出了一种基于叶片和流体间能量传递的简化数值计算方法,以获得某转速下的风车状态临界流量点。在数值模拟的基础上,重点对比了同一转速线上压气机工况点(小流量工况)、风车临界点和涡轮工况点下叶尖泄漏损失的演化机制,同时探究了叶片通道内流动分离的演化过程。 结果显示,随着转速的增加,转子风车状态临界流量呈现近似线性的变化趋势。而同转速下随流量增大,叶尖泄漏流从吸力面流向压力面,并与压力面上的低能量流体进行掺混,造成了流动堵塞。同时,从压气机模式转向涡轮模式的过程中,叶尖区域的流动分离从吸力面分离转变为压力面分离,随后分离强度和尺寸逐渐增大,造成的气动损失显著增加;而在轮毂区域,流动分离始终保持吸力面分离,其分离尺度沿径向有所发展。     

Water takeoff performance calculation method for amphibious aircraft based on digital virtual flight

Owing to the strong coupling among the hydrodynamic forces, aerodynamic forces and motion of amphibious aircraft during the water takeoff process, the water takeoff performance is difficult to calculate accurately and quickly. Based on an analysis of the dynamics and kinematics characteristics of amphibious aircraft and the hydrodynamic theory of high-speed planing hulls, a suitable mathematical model is established for calculating the hydrodynamics of aircraft during water takeoff. A pilot model is designed to illustrate how pilots are affected by the lack of visual reference and the necessity to simultaneously control the pitch angle, flight velocity and other parameters during water takeoff. Combined with the aerodynamic model, engine thrust model and aircraft motion model, a digital virtual flight simulation model is developed for amphibious aircraft during water takeoff, and a calculation method for the water takeoff performance of amphibious aircraft is proposed based on digital virtual flight. Typical performance indicators, such as the liftoff time and liftoff distance, can be obtained via digital virtual flight calculations. A comparison of the measured flight test data and the calculation results shows that the calculation error is less than 10%, which verifies the correctness and accuracy of the proposed method. This method can be used for the preliminary evaluation of airworthiness compliance of amphibious aircraft design schemes, and the relevant calculation results can also provide a theoretical reference for the formulation of flight test plans for airworthiness certification.

Probing the first stars and black holes in the early Universe with the Dark Ages Radio Explorer (DARE)

A concept for a new space-based cosmology mission called the Dark Ages Radio Explorer (DARE) is presented in this paper. DARE’s science objectives include: (1) When did the first stars form? (2) When did the first accreting black holes form? (3) When did Reionization begin? (4) What surprises does the end of the Dark Ages hold (e.g., Dark Matter decay)? DARE will use the highly-redshifted hyperfine 21-cm transition from neutral hydrogen to track the formation of the first luminous objects by their impact on the intergalactic medium during the end of the Dark Ages and during Cosmic Dawn (redshifts z = 11–35). It will measure the sky-averaged spin temperature of neutral hydrogen at the unexplored epoch 80–420 million years after the Big Bang, providing the first evidence of the earliest stars and galaxies to illuminate the cosmos and testing our models of galaxy formation. DARE’s approach is to measure the expected spectral features in the sky-averaged, redshifted 21-cm signal over a radio bandpass of 40–120 MHz. DARE orbits the Moon for a mission lifetime of 3 years and takes data above the lunar farside, the only location in the inner solar system proven to be free of human-generated radio frequency interference and any significant ionosphere. The science instrument is composed of a low frequency radiometer, including electrically-short, tapered, bi-conical dipole antennas, a receiver, and a digital spectrometer. The smooth frequency response of the antennas and the differential spectral calibration approach using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique will be applied to detect the weak cosmic 21-cm signal in the presence of the intense solar system and Galactic foreground emissions.
