垂直着陆中直升机旋翼动力学行为研究

提出了直升机垂直着陆撞击激起旋翼扰动的动力学模型,为预估粗暴着陆时起落架载荷和旋翼液压阻尼器轴向速度幅值给出了一种数值模拟方法。以弹性轴承旋翼直升机为例,对垂直着陆时直升机机体、起落架、旋翼桨叶及阻尼器的动力响应进行了数值模拟,分析了着陆撞击引起机体和旋翼扰动的力学机理,可知在起落架触地后的第1个振荡周期中,各片桨叶将经历其不同的摆振幅值,并激起旋翼摆振后退型响应。着陆撞击引起桨叶的大扰动,将冲开阻尼器的定压安全活门,严重降低其等效阻尼。随机着陆时,起落架触地速度及过载系数、旋翼挥舞及摆振幅度和阻尼器速度峰值等动态参数由于着陆时机体的姿态角及角速度不同呈现很大的分散性,其分散性与着陆高度有关。     

Control of approach and landing phase for reentry vehicle using fuzzy logic

The reentry vehicle is affected by various disturbances such as a wind gust, atmospheric condition or aerodynamic problems in the approach and landing phase. Therefore it is necessary to design a robust control scheme. This paper presents a control scheme using Mamdani fuzzy PD controller. In this paper, the reference trajectories are generated using geometric parameters for disturbed circumstances with 4 cases: nominal, headwind and tailwind, drag increased case. Then, a Mamdani fuzzy PD controller was designed in this study. Twenty-five rules were applied in the knowledge-based system. The max–min method for a fuzzy inference system and the center-of-mass method in defuzzification were used. Finally, guidance and control simulations are performed for verification of proposed controller using generated reference trajectories. In addition, the Monte Carlo simulation is performed considering various disturbances. The results show that proposed Mamdani fuzzy PD controller has reliability and robustness for control of reentry vehicle with wind disturbance in the approach and landing phases.     

Prediction of pilot workload in helicopter landing after one engine failure

This paper presents a method to predict the pilot workload in helicopter landing after one engine failure. The landing procedure is simulated numerically via applying nonlinear optimal control method in the form of performance index, path constraints and boundary conditions based on an augmented six-degree-of-freedom rigid-body flight dynamics model, solved by collocation and numerical optimization method. UH-60A helicopter is taken as the sample for the demonstration of landing after one engine failure. The numerical simulation was conducted to find the trajectory of helicopter and the controls from pilot for landing after one engine failure with different performance index considering the factor of pilot workload. The reasonable performance index and corresponding landing trajectory and controls are obtained by making a comparison with those from the flight test data. Furthermore, the pilot workload is evaluated based on wavelet transform analysis of the pilot control activities. The workloads of pilot control activities for collective control, longitudinal and lateral cyclic controls and pedal control during the helicopter landing after one engine failure are examined and compared with those of flight test. The results show that when the performance index considers the factor of pilot workload properly, the characteristics of amplitudes and constituent frequencies of pilot control inputs in the optimal solution are consistent with those of the pilot control inputs in the flight test. Therefore, the proposed method provides a tool of predicting the pilot workload in helicopter landing after one engine failure.     

动基座近舰面流场数值模拟

航母尾迹流场对舰载机的着舰有较大影响,所以需要对其流场特点进行研究,分析不同状态下舰载机气动特性的变化。采用嵌套网格技术对航母处于垂荡状态下无人机的着舰进行了模拟。首先,利用SFS2舰船进行数值计算,验证了舰船流场的数值模拟方法。然后,对比了单独无人机定常与非定常计算结果,表明所建立的嵌套网格适用于无人机流场的模拟。接着,对航母单相流和两相流的流场结果进行了分析,结果显示甲板下方的流动对甲板上方流场没有大的影响。因此,忽略了水的影响只对航母在空气流场中的特性进行研究,结果表明航母尾迹非定常特性明显,静止航母下滑轨迹上的速度均处于周期性波动状态,且波动幅值随着远离航母而逐渐衰减;而在垂荡情况下航母尾迹变得更加紊乱,水平方向速度波动的周期性减弱,但垂向速度的波动幅值进一步增大。对于静止航母,无人机在不同时刻着舰气动特性的变化也存在差异;当航母处于垂荡状态时,无人机的升力和俯仰力矩在短时间内会有更大的波动。     

Automatic landing system using neural networks and radio-technical subsystems

The paper focuses on the design of a new automatic landing system(ALS) in longitudinal plane; the new ALS controls the aircraft trajectory and longitudinal velocity. Aircraft control is achieved by means of a proportional-integral(PI) controller and the instrumental landing system– the first phase of landing(the glide slope) and a proportional-integral-derivative(PID) controller together with a radio-altimeter – the second phase of landing(the flare); both controllers modify the reference model associated with aircraft pitch angle. The control of the pitch angle and longitudinal velocity is performed by a neural network adaptive control system, based on the dynamic inversion concept, having the following as components: a linear dynamic compensator, a linear observer, reference models, and a Pseudo control hedging(PCH) block. The theoretical results are software implemented and validated by complex numerical simulations; compared with other ALSs having the same radio-technical subsystems but with conventional or fuzzy controllers for the control of aircraft pitch angle and longitudinal velocity, the architecture designed in this paper is characterized by much smaller overshoots and stationary errors.     

着水初始条件对水陆两栖飞机着水性能的影响

针对着水初始条件对水陆两栖飞机静水面降落性能影响的问题,使用非定常雷诺平均Navier-Stokes方程和标准k-ω两方程模型求解非定常流场,耦合流体体积模型捕捉自由液面,结合改进的流场域网格划分策略,并借助任意拉格朗日欧拉方法处理机体、网格和水气交界面三者关系。基于上述方法,探讨初始姿态角、下降速度和前飞速度对着水性能的影响,其中驾驶舱与重心位置加速度、气动力与水动力、俯仰角与吃水深度等参数变化被考虑在内,逐步得到最优着水初始条件。结果表明：增大初始姿态角有利于减缓飞机各位置除初次触水过载峰值外过载峰值的变化。当飞机俯仰力矩出现极值时,驾驶舱垂向过载显著大于其他方向和位置过载。减小初始下降速度,各加速度值也随之减小,值得注意的是重心垂向加速度值与初始垂向下降速度平方值存在线性变化关系。着水前飞速度的选取应使得气动升力略大于重力,飞机才能获得更佳的着水性能。     

平／钝头外形俯仰动态特性对落点姿态的影响分析

采用自由振荡法数值模拟了平头、钝头外形的超声速俯仰振荡时间历程,并应用奇异分解线性最小二乘法辨识稳定性导数,得到动导数随马赫数和攻角非线性变化的规律.平头外形在较高马赫数和中小攻角范围内存在动不稳定现象,随着再入时马赫数的降低,动不稳定的攻角范围不断缩小,直至演化为动稳定的;小钝头外形则没有动不稳定现象.蒙特卡洛弹道仿真表明,平头外形初始时刻俯仰角的扰动会经历一个先增长然后衰减的过程,最终落地时俯仰角小于1°,满足设计要求,但其落地速度有所降低,可能影响该外形对靶标的侵彻效果.

Augmented flight dynamics model for pilot workload evaluation in tilt-rotor aircraft optimal landing procedure after one engine failure

An augmented flight dynamics model is developed to extend the existing flight dynamics model of tilt-rotor aircraft for optimal landing procedure analysis in the event of one engine failure.Compared with the existing flight dynamics model, the augmented model involves with more pilot control information in cockpit and is validated against the flight test data. Based on the augmented flight dynamics model, the optimal landing procedure of XV-15 tilt-rotor aircraft after one engine failure is formulated into a Nonlinear Optimal Control Problem(NOCP), solved by collocation and numerical optimization method. The time histories of pilot controls in cockpit during the optimal landing procedure are obtained for the evaluation of pilot workload. An evaluation method which can synthetically quantify the pilot workload in time and frequency domains is proposed with metrics of aggressiveness and cutoff frequencies of pilot controls. The scale of the pilot workload is compared with those of the shipboard landing procedures, bob-up/bob-down and dash/quickstop maneuvers of UH-60 helicopter. The results show that the aggressiveness of pilot collective and longitudinal controls for the tilt-rotor aircraft optimal landing procedure after one engine failure are higher than those for UH-60 helicopter shipboard landing procedures up to the condition of sea state 4, while the pilot cutoff frequency of collective control is lower than that of the bob-up/bob-down maneuver but the pilot cutoff frequency of longitudinal control is higher than that of the dash/quick-stop maneuver. The evaluated pilot workload level is between Cooper–Harper HQR Level 2 and Level 3.
