The Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) NASA Mission-of-Opportunity

Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) is a NASA Explorer Mission-of-Opportunity to stereoscopically image the Earth’s magnetosphere for the first time. TWINS extends our understanding of magnetospheric structure and processes by providing simultaneous Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging from two widely separated locations. TWINS observes ENAs from 1–100 keV with high angular (～4°×4°) and time (～1-minute) resolution. The TWINS Ly-α monitor measures the geocoronal hydrogen density to aid in ENA analysis while environmental sensors provide contemporaneous measurements of the local charged particle environments. By imaging ENAs with identical instruments from two widely spaced, high-altitude, high-inclination spacecraft, TWINS enables three-dimensional visualization of the large-scale structures and dynamics within the magnetosphere for the first time. This “instrument paper” documents the TWINS design, construction, calibration, and initial results. Finally, the appendix of this paper describes and documents the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) instrument calibration facility; this facility was used for all TWINS instrument-level calibrations.     

基于在线识别与全维状态观测技术的埋入压电片复合梁的振动主动控制研究

 介绍利用埋入复合材料梁的压电传感器和驱动器对其振动进行主动控制的实验研究及其结果。利用埋入的压电传感器和驱动器对其进行模型识别而得出结构的动力学模型, 再将该模型用于控制器的设计,其优点是当结构本身或者约束、环境等发生变化后, 可对结构的模型重新进行在线识别, 及时更新控制参数,避免控制失效, 而且不需要事先知道结构的其他属性。应用最优控制理论的全维状态观测器技术, 结合所选取的压电传感器和作动器识别的结构动力学模型, 可以设计出其最优控制器。实验表明, 传感器信号的频谱峰值最大可以被有效地降低20dB 左右。
