VentureStar… reaping the benefits of the X-33 program

Major X-33 flight hardware has been delivered, and assembly of the vehicle is well underway in anticipation of its flight test program commencing in the summer of 1999. Attention has now turned to the operational VentureStar^TM, the first single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) reusable launch vehicle. Activities are grouped under two broad categories: (1) vehicle development and (2) market/business planning, each of which is discussed. The mission concept is presented for direct payload delivery to the International Space Station and to low Earth orbit, as well as payload delivery with an upper stage to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and other high energy orbits. System requirements include flight segment and ground segment. Vehicle system sizing and design status is provided including the application of X-33 traceability and lessons learned. Technology applications to the VentureStar^TM are described including the structure, propellant tanks, thermal protection system, aerodynamics, subsystems, payload bay and propulsion. Developing a market driven low cost launch services system for the 21st Century requires traditional and non-traditional ways of being able to forecast the evolution of the potential market. The challenge is balancing both the technical and financial assumptions of the market. This involves the need to provide a capability to meet market segments that in some cases are very speculative, while at the same time providing the financial community with a credible revenue stream. Furthermore, the market derived requirements need to be assessed so as not to impose unnecessary requirements on the vehicle design that add unreasonable cost to the development of the system, yet provides the right capabilities for new markets that could be triggered by dramatically lower space transportation prices.

带充液腔的自旋卫星稳定性问题

本文应用Pfeiffer的思想讨论带轴对称充液腔的卫星系统自旋稳定性。本方法的基本思想为将轴对称腔内的液体旋度平均化,使之与空间位置无关,由此将液体的无限自由度问题离散化为有限自由度问题,从而用线性理论讨论系统的自旋稳定性。用这方法,本文讨论了带充液腔的非轴对称卫星系统、带充液腔的双自旋卫星系统的自旋稳定性,给出了它们的自旋稳定性判据。此外,本文还给出了一些带有不同形状腔体的卫星系统自旋稳定域图,为实际工程设计人员提供理论参考。     

缠绕复合材料喷管静力分析

本文对由一般曲线旋转得到的喷管进行了静力分析。文中讨论的喷管由缠绕复合材料构成,承受轴对称和非轴对称载荷作用。在采用有限元法分析时,通过Fourier转换将三维问题简化为二维求解。弹性矩阵中各参数采用合理假设只需由层状平面内三个弹性常数即可确定。文中给出缠绕复合材料喷管在内压和集中力作用下的位移分布算例,结果合理。本文推荐方法可供缠绕柔性喷管和其它类似结构分析时参考。

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE BUOYANCY CONVECTION EFFECT IN KNbO3 MELT

Numerical modelling of velocity and temperature fields in high-temperature KNbO3 melt of a loop-shaped Pt wire heater is carried out by using the commercial com putational code ANSYS for the mathematical solution of the governing equations.Based on the experimental boundary conditions and the Boussinesq approximation,the numerical modelling of a steady and two-dimensional model is applied to study the process under consideration of the buoyancy-driven convection condition. The result is compared with the previous experimental and theoretical data obtained in our laboratory, and the former is in agreement with the latter. Thus a theoretical guide for reasonable growth conditions is provided by studying in depth the real fluid flow effects in the crystal growth from the melt.     

线性板簧的迟滞特性对车辆平顺性影响

通过分析板簧迟滞特性对车辆在不同路面上行驶平顺性的影响,探讨合理选择板簧悬架减振器阻尼的方法.采用1/4车辆模型,在考虑和不考虑板簧迟滞特性2种情况下分析了车辆在不同路面上的簧载质量加速度均方根值.考虑到模型非线性,采用时域求解,并以随机生成的路面数据和一组实测路面数据作为模型输入.分析结果表明板簧迟滞特性对行驶平顺性的不利影响在良好路面上表现得更为明显,因此减振器阻尼系数应根据路面不平度等级加以选择.对于采用板簧悬架的车辆,减振器在压缩行程和复原行程的阻尼比范围应分别为0.1~0.2和0.2~0.3.
