Investigation of phase transition-based tethered systems for small body sample capture

This paper summarizes the modeling, simulation, and testing work related to the development of technology to investigate the potential that shape memory actuation has to provide mechanically simple and affordable solutions for delivering assets to a surface and for sample capture and possible return to Earth. We investigate the structural dynamics and controllability aspects of an adaptive beam carrying an end-effector which, by changing material equilibrium phases, is able to actively decouple the end-effector dynamics from the spacecraft dynamics during the surface contact phase. Asset delivery and sample capture and return are at the heart of several emerging potential missions to small bodies, such as asteroids and comets, and to the surface of large bodies, such as Titan.

零件表面微观工艺特征性研究 ——产品(零件)工艺技术基础科学问题机理探索

通过研究产品(零件)制造过程、方法、参数等工艺因素,给零件表面及表层带来(留下)特有的微观特征性,首次在高精度惯性仪表和高可靠电磁继电器(机电类)产品制造体系中引入了零件表面微观工艺特征性概念,提出了制造阶段的产品工艺可靠性设计和微观工艺特征(性)分析方法,提出了该类产品制造中的工艺设计更应该关注零件与产品设计原理匹配性和性能特性符合性观点,提出零件制造要从单纯的控制几何精度向控制性能特性转变,从宏观、单一采标的几何参数评价向微观、综合采标的非几何(非尺寸)参数评价模式为主转变的建议.零件表面存在的这种微观特征现象与零件几何精度一样,将对产品制造的合格率、稳定性、可靠性的实现起到至关重要的作用,尤其对产品的合格率影响极大,有必要开展更深入、更系统的研究,以建立起我国自主的高端产品(或零件)制造基准工艺平台.
