Stability analysis of an aeroelastic system with friction

In this paper, harmonic balance method, exact formulation and numerical simulation method are adopted to study the effects of different friction stiffness on the stability of 1.5 degrees of freedom aeroelastic system. On this basis, the expressions of input energy and dissipated energy are deduced, and the energy method is used to reveal the mechanisms of the stable boundary and unstable boundary existing in the system and the effects of different friction stiffness on the stability of the system. Studies have shown that the stability region and the critical aerodynamic damping ratio of the system rise with the increase of the friction stiffness, while the friction stiffness has little effect on the stability boundary. In the analysis of the stability of system, the results of harmonic balance method, exact formulation and Newmark of numerical simulation method are in good agreement. Compared with exact formulation and numerical simulation method, the concept and conclusion of harmonic balance method are simple in the system stability analysis.     

Enhancing buckling capacity of a rectangular plate under uniaxial compression by utilizing an auxetic material

Auxetic materials have previously been shown to enhance various performances due to its unusual property of becoming fatter when uniaxially stretched and thinner when uniaxially com-pressed (i.e., the materials exhibit a negative Poisson’s ratio). The current study focuses on assessing the potential of an auxetic material to enhance the buckling capacity of a rectangular plate under uniaxial compression. The in-plane translational restraint along the unloaded edges that was often neglected in open literature is taken into consideration in our buckling model proposed in this study. The closed-form expressions for the critical buckling coefficient of the rectangle are provided and the predicted results agree well with those determined by the finite element method. Further-more, the results indicate that the buckling performance of a rectangular plate under uniaxial com-pression can be significantly improved by replacing the traditional material that has a positive Poisson’s ratio with an auxetic material when there is in-plane translation restraint along the unloaded edges.     

火箭结构估重与总体优化设计的数字化实现及应用

火箭新型号总体方案论证时,一般借鉴国内外相近规模和相同推进剂火箭的结构系数进行类比确定子级结构系数,按照比例系数分配贮箱和壳段等部段的质量,但该质量分配不能反映载荷对结构设计的影响,在细化迭代设计中易造成方案无法闭环,导致设计工作反复。为了加快总体方案论证,提出一种基于载荷的箭体结构快速估重方法,开发形成结构估重数字化模块并嵌入总体设计平台。应用案例表明,提出的数字化估重平台能够有效提高估重精度,同时显著缩短论证周期,兼具总体方案比较和优化、全箭质量管理等功能,能有效降低方案推翻重新设计的风险,在新型号总体方案论证中发挥了重要作用。     

Microstructure,mechanical and fracture properties of friction stir welded 2195 Al-Li alloy joints

The 8 mm-thick 2195 Al-Li alloy joints were achieved by Friction Stir Welding(FSW).The microstructural evolution, temperature-dependent mechanical properties, and fracture properties were studied. The T1, δ’/β’and θ’precipitates were observed in the Base Metal(BM) and the Heat Affected Zone(HAZ). Most of the precipitates, except for re-precipitated δ’/β’phases, were dissolved in the Nugget Zone(NZ). The tensile specimens that failed at cryogenic temperatures(–196.C) had the maximum Ultimate Tens...     

Auroral Electrojet Event Associated With Magnetospheric Substorms

The auroral electrojet index is an important index in monitoring and predicting substorms. A substorms usually includes auroral breakup, auroral electrojet event marked by AE increase, energetic particle injection at geosynchronous orbit, mid-low latitude Pi2, etc. However the question whether an auroral electrojet event corresponds to a substorm remains unanswered. Using the auroral electrojet index in 2004, we analyzed five auroral electrojet events and studied their relation with substorms. The results show that there are three kinds of auroral electrojet events: (1) simultaneous rapid increase of westward auroral electrojet and eastward auroral electrojet; (2) rapid increase of westward auroral electrojet and almost unchangeable eastward auroral electrojet; (3) rapid increase of eastward auroral electrojet and almost unchangeable westward auroral electrojet. Most of auroral electrojet events correspond to substorms. However a few auroral electrojet events are not accompanied by substorms. This situation most often occurs for the auroral electrojet event in which eastward auroral electrojet dominates.      

Performability analysis of avionics system with multilayer HM/FM using stochastic Petri nets

The integrated modular avionics (IMA) architecture is an open standard in avionics industry, in which the number of functionalities implemented by software is greater than ever before. In the IMA architecture, the reliability of the avionics system is highly affected by the software applications. In order to enhance the fault tolerance feature with regard to software application failures, many industrial standards propose a layered health monitoring/fault management (HM/FM) scheme to periodically check the health status of software application processes and recover the malfunctioning software process whenever an error is located. In this paper, we make an analytical study of the HM/FM system for avionics application software. We use the stochastic Petri nets (SPN) to build a formal model of each component and present a method to combine the components together to form a complete system model with respect to three interlayer query strategies. We further investigate the effectiveness of these strategies in an illustrative system.     

Relay selection based on MAP estimation for cooperative communication with outdated channel state information

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communication system when the channel state information (CSI) used in relay selection differs from that during data transmission, i.e., the CSI used in relay selection is outdated. The selected relay may not be actually the best for data transmission and the outage performance of the cooperative system will deteriorate. To improve its performance, we propose a relay selection strategy based on maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, where relay is selected based on predicted signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To reduce the computation complexity, we approximate the a posteriori probability density of SNR and obtain a closed-form predicted SNR, and a relay selection strategy based on the approximate MAP estimation (RS-AMAP) is proposed. The simulation results show that this approximation leads to trivial performance loss from the perspective of outage probability. Compared with relay selection strategies given in the literature, the outage probability is reduced largely through RS-AMAP for medium-to-large transmitting powers and medium-to-high channel correlation coefficients.     

一种高效的基于可靠性的多学科设计优化方法(英文)

Design for modem engineering system is becoming multidisciplinary and incorporates practical uncertainties; therefore, it is necessary to synthesize reliability analysis and the multidisciplinary design optimization （MDO） techniques for the design of complex engineering system. An advanced first order second moment method-based concurrent subspace optimization approach is proposed based on the comparison and analysis of the existing multidisciplinary optimization techniques and the reliability analysis methods. It is seen through a canard configuration optimization for a three-surface transport that the proposed method is computationally efficient and practical with the least modification to the current deterministic optimization process.

机载阵列雷达抑制运动杂波的学习算法

一种称为自适应空时处理器(STP)的线性滤波器是一种相对比较新的方法，它使机载阵列天线雷达目标检测概率达到最大。理论上，全自适应STP可以实时获得最优解(一种维恩滤波器)。但是，实际上全自适应STP也存在一些问题。首先，线性滤波器的加权数可能非常大。其次，单一加权矢量的计算复杂度大约为O(MN)^3。再次，STP为线性滤波器但却工作在非线性不稳定的环境中。这些问题导致采用空时处理器传统技术的实时、最佳处理是现行计算技术内所不及的。为使运动杂波对目标检测的影响最小，本文探讨了人工神经网络和几种学习算法的可应用性。人工神经网络是一种自适应、并行、分布式处理系统，可以实时完成复杂计算。学习算法的机理是为了存储新的信息或变更信息，人工神经网络中的长期存储器要不断更新而又不被破坏。由于学习算法既能在系统的使用期内保留信息又能变更信息，所以对雷达系统的计算要求降到了最低，同时还能适应环境的变化。
