A review of topology optimization for additive manufacturing: Status and challenges

Topology optimization was developed as an advanced structural design methodology to generate innovative lightweight and high-performance configurations that are difficult to obtain with conventional ideas. Additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing technique building as-designed structures via layer-by-layer joining material, providing an alternative pattern for complex components. The integration of topology optimization and additive manufacturing can make the most of their advantages and potentials, and has wide application prospects in modern manufacturing. This article reviews the main content and applications of the research on the integration of topology optimization and additive manufacturing in recent years, including multi-scale or hierarchical structural optimization design and topology optimization considering additive manufacturing constraints. Meanwhile, some challenges of structural design approaches for additive manufacturing are discussed, such as the performance characterization and scale effects of additively manufactured lattice structures, the anisotropy and fatigue performance of additively manufactured material, and additively manufactured functionally graded material issues, etc. It is shown that in the research of topology optimization for additive manufacturing, the integration of material, structure, process and performance is important to pursue high-performance, multi-functional and lightweight production. This article provides a reference for further related research and aerospace applications.     

Attitude control system design and on-orbit performance analysis of nano-satellite––‘‘Tian Tuo 1’’

‘‘Tian Tuo 1'(TT-1) nano-satellite is the first single-board nano-satellite that was successfully launched in China. The main objective of TT-1 is technology demonstration and scientific measurements. The satellite carries out the significant exploration of single-board architecture feasibility validation, and it is tailored to the low-cost philosophy by adopting numerous commercialoff-the-shelf(COTS) components. The satellite is featured with three-axis stabilization control capability. A pitch bias momentum wheel and three magnetic coils are adopted as control actuators.The sun sensors, magnetometers and a three-axis gyro are employed as the measurement sensors.The quaternion estimator(QUEST) and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) method are adopted for the nano-satellite attitude determination. On-orbit data received by ground station is conducted to analysis the performance of attitude determination and control system(ADCS). The results show that the design of ADCS for TT-1 is suitable, robust and feasible.

超燃冲压发动机冷却通道与燃烧室耦合传热数值研究

为深入分析再生冷却通道与燃烧室的耦合传热过程以及探究多因素作用下的主动冷却耦合传热特性,采用航空煤油单组分替代模型,对超声速燃烧与流动裂解耦合换热过程进行数值模拟研究。探究了裂解反应、冷却流量、当量比对耦合传热的影响。结果表明：燃料的喷注与燃烧产生的扰动会破坏波系并向隔离段传递,燃烧强度随着燃烧的当量比增加变得更加剧烈;相同条件下,裂解产生的换热量在冷却流量较小时不可忽略,而冷却流量增加会使裂解程度减弱,当冷却流量为4g/s时正癸烷基本全部裂解,而增加至8g/s时裂解率不到10%;当量比对冷却通道与燃烧室的耦合传热的影响有限,当量比由0.67增加至0.84时,冷却通道出口温度升高约5K,燃烧室内壁温只增加了30K。
