Heterogeneous data-driven aerodynamic modeling based on physical feature embedding

Aerodynamic surrogate modeling mostly relies only on integrated loads data obtained from simulation or experiment,while neglecting and wasting the valuable distributed physical information on the surface.To make full use of both integrated and distributed loads,a modeling paradigm,called the heterogeneous data-driven aerodynamic modeling,is presented.The essential concept is to incorporate the physical information of distributed loads as additional constraints within the end-to-end aerodynamic m...

Comprehensive compensation method for the influence of disturbing gravity field on long-range rocket guidance computing

With the improvement of the accuracy of the inertial system, the influence of the disturbing gravity field on the accuracy of long-range rocket has become increasingly prominent. However, in actual engineering, there are problems of low accuracy and being time-consuming for disturbing gravity field compensation. In view of this, this paper proposes a set of online comprehensive solutions combining disturbing gravity reconstruction and stellar correction. According to the pre-launch binding param...     

CT local reconstruction of solid rocket motor based on PI-POCS-TVM

In order to test the defects of solid rocket motor (SRM) accurately and efficiently, the computed tomography (CT) inspection scheme for SRMs defects was investigated and a CT local reconstruction algorithm called prior information projection onto convex sets total variation minimization (PI-POCS-TVM) was developed. The SRM was first inspected by industrial CT (ICT) to generate a low resolution SRM image used as the prior information, then high resolution local inspection was carried out for SRM's defects. To validate the effectiveness of the CT inspection scheme for SRMs defects, one SRM was inspected by a narrow fan beam ICT system. Filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm, POCS, POCS-TVM and PI-POCS-TVM algorithms were applied to reconstruct CT images. The performance of these algorithms was also compared. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of the CT inspection scheme for SRM's defects. Moreover, the PI-POCS-TVM algorithm has better local reconstruction image quality than the other three algorithms, showing great significance for accurate measurement of SRM's defects.      

Study on Microwave Dielectric Property of Carbon Black and Short Carbon Fibers

Carbon black and carbon fibers of different lengths were introduced in different matrices at different ratios to explore their micro-wave dielectric properties under 8.2 GHz-12.4 GHz. It is found that the actual dielectric constants of the samples containing carbon black are in a two-order function of the contents of carbon black (ε′, ε″=Av2 Bv C) and the complex dielectric constants show an obvi-ous frequency response. Of the added fibers of different lengths, the 4 mm-long one could well disperse in the matrices having not only good frequency response, but also larger real parts, imaginary parts and loss values. The imaginary parts and the loss values (tanδ) of the samples with 4 mm-long carbon fibers added increase linearly with the contents of fiber increasing. So it is practicable to adjust the di-electric parameters of the material in a wide range by changing the added amount of carbon black, and the carbon fiber or altering the lengths of the carbon fiber added.     

Effects of Different Molten-salt on the Synthesis of Hexagonal Barium Ferrite

Hexagonal-plate BaFe12O19 nano-particles were prepared by combining the co-precipitation and molten-salt method. The effects of molten-salt NaCl on the products have been compared with those of KCl. The X-ray diffraction analysis,the environment scanning electron microscopy and the vibrating sample magnetometer were used to measure their characteristics. The results show that the mol-ten-salt KCl is helpful to obtain pure phase while the molten-salt NaCl will prompt the crystallinity of particles to increase. It is also found that, given the molten-salt of NaCl and that of KCl of the same quantity, the particles formed are also the same size. The size of particles slightly increases as the quantity of the salt increases. Moreover, the sample prepared under 200% NaCl salt system has mag-netization of 71.5 emu/g.     

Influences of Mechanical Vibration on Rapidly Solidified Al2O3/YSZ Ceramics Prepared by Combustion Synthesis

Al2O3/YSZ composite ceramics was fabricated with combustion synthesis technology, and the influences of mechanical vibration on its microstructures and properties were investigated. It is found that under the mechanical vibration of ever-increasing frequency, increasing combustion temperature, accelerating ceramics/metal liquid-liquid separation and quickening ceramic solidification could not only reduce the average diameter and the size distribution of aligned ZrO2 nano-micron fibers in rod-shaped Al2O3 matrix grains, but also make the randomly-oriented rod-shaped grains finer and increase their aspect ratios. As a result, a remarkable increase in flexural strength and fracture toughness of the ceramics can be observed.     

Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of In Situ TiB2-7055 Composites

In order to fabricate a kind of high strength particulate reinforced aluminum-matrix composites, the high strength aluminum alloy 7055 was selected as a matrix. Composites reinforced with varying amounts of TiB2 particles were synthesized using the in situ method, and their mechanical properties and microstructure were analyzed. It is found that the in situ TiB2 particles sized from 50 to 400 um uniformly disperse in the matrix. With the weight fraction of TiB2 particles increasing, the elastic modulus as well as the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength increase, while the ductility decrease. The improvement of strength could be attributed to good bonding between TiB2 and the matrix, and also the TiB2 particles act as a barrier to dislocation.     

DIMENSION VARIATION OF FEATURE-BASED MODEL BY OPERATING DIRECTLY ON B-REP

A new algorithm for dimension variation of feature-based models is developed.The algorithm is based on B-Rep/CSG hybrid scheme and operates directly on B-Rep.Product information (including the features locating dimensions and other data for manufacture) will not lose after model variation and modification.Furthermore, the definition and solution of features constraints are also supported.The scheme of directly operating on B-Rep overcomes many drawbacks of other proposed methods, most of which need to redo all of the previous work to implement dimension variation, so the computational cost is expensive and product information will lose.What is presented in this paper makes a new way in the area of parametric design.     

Distributed bearing-based formation control of unmanned aerial vehicle swarm via global orientation estimation

Most existing formation control approaches for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)swarm assume that global position and global coordinate frame are directly available for each agent. To extend the application domain, this paper proposes a distributed bearing-based formation control scheme, without any reliance on global position or global coordinate frame. The interactions among UAVs are described by a directed topology with two-leader structure. To address the issue of unavailable global coordinate fr...
