Investigation on a Sol-gel Coating Containing Inhibitors on 2024-T3 Aluminum Alloy

For a long time, chromate incorporated conversion coatings have been drawn special attention in corrosion protection of air-craft-used aluminum alloys. However,ever-increasing environmental pressures requires that non-chromate conversion coatings be developed because of the detrimental carcinogenic effects of the chromate compounds. In recent years, the sol-gel coatings doped with inhibitors were developed to replace chromate conversion coatings, and showed real promise. A sol-gel coating was prepared and its anti-corrosion behavior was investigated using the potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is found that the sol-gel coating obtained by the hydrolysis and condensation of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) is prone to form defects if cured at the room temperature, whereas if cured at a higher temperature (100 ℃), these flaws can be avoided. Furthermore, it can be seen that addition of anti-foam agents and surfactants will reduce the faults if cured at the room temperature. Effects of the corrosion inhibitors, CeCl3 and mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), in the sol-gel coatings on 2024-T3 aluminum alloy were also investigated. Results show that the corrosion resistance of the sol-gel coatings containing CeCl3 proves to be better than that of the pure and MBT added sol-gel coatings by the electrochemical methods.

Dihedral influence on lateral–directional dynamic stability on large aspect ratio tailless flying wing aircraft

The influence of dihedral layout on lateral–directional dynamic stability of the tailless flying wing aircraft is discussed in this paper. A tailless flying wing aircraft with a large aspect ratio is selected as the object of study, and the dihedral angle along the spanwise sections is divided into three segments. The influence of dihedral layouts is studied. Based on the stability derivatives calculated by the vortex lattice method code, the linearized small-disturbance equations of the lateral modes are used to determine the mode dynamic characteristics. By comparing 7056 configurations with different dihedral angle layouts, two groups of stability optimized dihedral layout concepts are created. Flight quality close to Level 2 requirements is achieved in these optimized concepts without any electric stability augmentation system.     

De-combination of belief function based on optimization

In the theory of belief functions, the evidence combination is a kind of decision-level information fusion. Given two or more Basic Belief Assignments(BBAs) originated from different information sources, the combination rule is used to combine them to expect a better decision result. When only a combined BBA is given and original BBAs are discarded, if one wants to analyze the difference between the information sources, evidence de-combination is needed to determine the original BBAs. Evidence d...

Study on ASTM Shear-loaded Adhesive Lap Joints

对承剪单搭接胶接接头力学性能进行了有限元分析及试验验证。通过对ASTM D5656标准薄胶层试件的试验及其和有限元计算结果的对比，确定了胶粘剂材料弹塑性应力应变关系。在此基础上，引入等效塑性应变准则和J-积分准则对具有不同胶层厚度的ASTM D5656和ASTM D3165标准试件的强度进行了预测，预测结果与试验结果相吻合。还就含脱粘缺陷的ASTM D3165标准试件的强度进行了分析。计算结果表明，ASTM D5656和ASTM D3165标准试验测得的胶粘剂表观剪切模量和剪切强度只具有相对意义，确定胶粘剂材料工程常数，还要在计算结果的基础上进行更深入的理论分析；对于含脱粘缺陷的ASTM D3165试件，缺陷的位置对其强度有重要影响。     

Sea fog detection based on unsupervised domain adaptation

Sea fog detection with remote sensing images is a challenging task. Driven by the different image characteristics between fog and other types of clouds, such as textures and colors, it can be achieved by using image processing methods. Currently, most of the available methods are datadriven and relying on manual annotations. However, because few meteorological observations and buoys over the sea can be realized, obtaining visibility information to help the annotations is difficult. Considering t...

The Ultraviolet Spectrograph on NASA’s Juno Mission

The ultraviolet spectrograph instrument on the Juno mission (Juno-UVS) is a long-slit imaging spectrograph designed to observe and characterize Jupiter’s far-ultraviolet (FUV) auroral emissions. These observations will be coordinated and correlated with those from Juno’s other remote sensing instruments and used to place in situ measurements made by Juno’s particles and fields instruments into a global context, relating the local data with events occurring in more distant regions of Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Juno-UVS is based on a series of imaging FUV spectrographs currently in flight—the two Alice instruments on the Rosetta and New Horizons missions, and the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. However, Juno-UVS has several important modifications, including (1) a scan mirror (for targeting specific auroral features), (2) extensive shielding (for mitigation of electronics and data quality degradation by energetic particles), and (3) a cross delay line microchannel plate detector (for both faster photon counting and improved spatial resolution). This paper describes the science objectives, design, and initial performance of the Juno-UVS.     

Can CO2 help harvest minerals on Mars?

When astronauts first go to Mars, it will be difficult for them to bring everything they need to survive. Even the first tentative explorations could last as long as two years. However, spaceships can carry only limited supplies. "We might have to do what explorers have done for ages: live off the land," says chemical engineer Ken Debelak of Vanderbilt University. It is a meager atmosphere, compared to Earth's, and it is about 95% carbon dioxide. This, however, turns out to be an advantage. The CO2, says Debelak, can be used to harvest almost everything else.

A new target tracking filter based on deep learning

At present, current filters can basically solve the filtering problem in target tracking, but there are still many problems such as too many filtering variants, too many filtering forms, loosely coupled with the target motion model, and so on. To solve the above problems, we carry out crossapplication research of artificial intelligence theory and methods in the field of tracking filters. We firstly analyze the computation graphs of typical a-β and Kalman. Through analysis, it is concluded that ...

Numerical simulation method of surge experiments on gas turbine engines

In order to obtain the surge margin of an aero-engine during its operation, an engine surge experiment is required. A multi-dimensional simulation method for an aero-engine is established in this paper. The simulation of a surge experiment using high-pressure air-injection is then carried out on a turbo-shaft engine to obtain the surge boundary using this method. More specifically, firstly, a body-force model is employed to calculate the compressor performance owing to its capability of capturin...
