The application of micro-CT in monitoring bone alterations in tail-suspended rats in vivo

Osteopenia is a pathological process that affects human skeletal health not only on earth but also in long-time spaceflight. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a nondestructive method for assessing both bone quantity and bone quality. To investigate the characteristics of micro-CT on evaluating the microgravity-induced osteopenia (e.g. early detection time and the sensitive parameters), the bone loss process of tail-suspended rats was monitored by micro-CT in this study. 8-Week-old female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups: tail suspension (TS) and control (CON). Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and microstructure of the femur and tibia were evaluated in vivo by micro-CT at 0, 7, 14, 22 days. Biomechanical properties of the femur and tibia were determined by three-point bending test. The ash weight of bone was also investigated. The results showed that (1) bone loss in the proximal tibia appeared earlier than in the distal femur. (2) On day 7, the percent bone volume (BV/TV) of the tibia 15.44% decreased significantly, and the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) 30.29% increased significantly in TS group, both of which were detected earlier than other parameters. (3) Biomechanical properties (e.g. femur, −22.4% maximum load and −23.75% Young’s modulus vs. CON) and ash weight of the femur and tibia decreased significantly in the TS group in comparison to CON group. (4) vBMD of the femur and tibia were clearly related to bone ash and dry weight (r = 0.75–0.87, p < 0.05). (5) BV/TV of both femur and tibia were clearly related to maximum load and Young’s modulus (r = 0.66–0.87, p < 0.05). Similarly, trabecular vBMD and BV/TV of the femur and tibia were clearly related to Young’s modulus (r = 0.73–0.89, p < 0.05). These indicated that BV/TV and Tb.Sp were more sensitive than other parameters for evaluating bone loss induced by tail suspension, moreover, trabecular vBMD and other parameters might be used to evaluate bone strength. Therefore, micro-CT is a reliable and sensitive method for predicting unloading-induced bone loss in small animals.     

Validation of a Compression Mass Gauge using ground tests for liquid propellant mass measurements

To properly estimate orbital lifetimes and predict the maneuverability of spacecraft, the remaining liquid propellant mass must be accurately known at every moment of a space mission. This paper studies the Compression Mass Gauge (CMG) method to determine the mass of liquid contained in a tank in a low-gravity environment with high accuracy. CMG is a thermodynamic method used to determine the quantity of liquid by measuring the gas pressure change when the tank volume changes, and has been previously theoretically and experimentally studied by researchers. The primary objective of this investigation is to explore the effects of attitude disturbance and the spacecraft thermal environment on the accuracy of the method. A ground test system, consisting of several test apparatuses, was fabricated and described as part of this study. The test results and analyses indicate that the CMG performs well and has an accuracy of ±1%. Additionally, demonstrations were performed to show that measurement errors do not increase drastically or exceed ±1% when the test system is vibrated to simulate the tank being perturbed as a result of an attitude disturbance. Liquid sloshing resonance was found to have a significant effect on the gauging accuracy. Measurements in a real thermal environment in which heat transfers into and out of the propellant tank were also conducted. The results show that the gauging accuracy is acceptable for normal liquid propellant. Furthermore, theoretical research shows that heat leakage has a significant influence on cryogenic propellant mass gauging.     

飞机燃油箱气相空间平衡氧浓度理论研究

油箱上部空间平衡氧浓度的确定是设计机载油箱惰性化系统的基础。采用微元段计算方法,在考虑载油量、压力随飞行高度变化、燃油温度和燃油蒸汽压的情况下,建立了油箱上部气相空间平衡氧浓度的数学模型。首先将模型计算结果与文献公布的数据进行了比较,验证了模型的正确性。然后分析了不同因素对平衡氧浓度的影响。研究结果表明:不同燃油的氧氮溶解特性会对平衡氧浓度造成直接影响;平衡氧浓度与载油量有关,且不呈线性关系;燃油温度增加后,平衡氧浓度下降;此外,随着飞行高度增加,由于气相空间总压和氧氮分压下降,燃油的蒸汽压对平衡氧浓度的影响也越大。研究结果将为惰性化气体流量的估算和设计提供一定的理论基础。     

气液两相流中气泡速度的电磁互相关测量

气液两相流作为一种工业领域中普遍存在的流态,在测量时需考虑气相和液相间的速度差。相较于流动规律平稳的气相而言,研究不稳定的气泡流动状态具有更高的技术难度。本文针对空气-水为工质的两相流中一项重要参数——气泡速度进行测量,引入基于互相关运算的电磁检测方法,通过提高系统激励频率得到较大的检测信号。实验设计了高频(1 MHz)电磁检测系统,选用垂直上升管道,并在管道的2个平行截面分别安装电磁传感器,每组传感器均包含一个激励线圈及一个接收线圈,对2组接收线圈上的相位信号进行互相关运算,从而求得气泡的速度。实验中,对3种不同速度气泡采集到的信号进行了对比分析,相对误差控制在10%以内,提供了一种完全非接触非侵入的测量气泡速度的方法。此方法可以进行后续补充完善,用于其他工业场合,如金属液中气泡参数的测量等。

脉冲星导航在高精度卫星轨道修正中的应用

X射线脉冲星导航系统(XNAV,X-ray Pulsar Based Navigation)能够为航天器提供自主的定位服务,但是XNAV存在精度较差,且受航天器钟差和脉冲星时间模型误差的影响而产生近似常值偏差的缺点.分析与仿真指出,在采用XNAV单独导航时需要2颗脉冲星可达到完全观测,而采用XNAV和星间观测的组合导航时仅需要1颗脉冲星即可达到完全观测,同时组合导航能够将轨道修正的精度提高10倍以上,并将由于常值偏差造成的估计误差抑制在0.2 m以内.在现实的噪声设定下,采用标准XNAV单独进行轨道修正,仅需要两颗脉冲星即可取得50 m以内的估计精度;而采用组合导航时,在单脉冲星的导航方案下,系统的估计精度为5 m以内.分析结果表明:基于单脉冲星导航的组合导航,是一种高精度、低需求,容易实现的卫星轨道估计方案.
