A three-state Kalman tracker using position and rate measurements

A three-state Kalman tracker is described for tracking a moving target, such as an aircraft, making use of the position and rate measurements obtained by a track-white-scan radar sensor which employs pulsed Doppler processing, such as the moving target detector providing unambiguous Doppler data. The steady-state filter parameters have been analytically obtained under the assumption of white noise maneuver capability. The numerical computations of these parameters are in excellent agreement with those obtained from the recursive Kalman filter matrix equations. The solution for the case when only the range measurements are available is obtained as a special case of this model. Graphs of normalized covariances and gains are presented to illustrate how the solution depends on different parameters     

热声载荷作用下薄壁结构非线性响应分析和试验验证

针对热声载荷作用下薄壁结构大挠度非线性响应问题,开展了固支约束金属薄壁板结构热声激励试验及数值模拟分析。通过计算结果与试验结果对比,表明两者结果存在一致性,进而验证了薄壁板在热声载荷作用下动态响应计算方法和数值模型的有效性。在此基础上,针对加筋板结构完成了多种热声载荷组合作用下的动力学响应计算,获得了时域位移响应。重点对该结构在后屈曲状态下的3种典型振动形式进行分析,总结出热载荷与声载荷之间的相对强度决定了板的不同跳变形式。采用统计分析方法建立了位移响应的概率谱密度函数（PDF）并绘图,清楚地显示了后屈曲板的PDF表现出双峰现象。使用功率谱密度（PSD）函数分析了响应频率和峰值随着温度升高的变化,并确定了板的软化和硬化区域。总结了屈曲前/后结构特定区域拉应力和压应力的变化规律,并阐述了造成这种变化的原因。本文工作可对热声载荷作用下薄壁结构响应分析和动强度设计提供参考依据。     

碰摩约束下柔性转子模态特性及其计算方法

以航空发动机低压（LP）转子为代表的柔性转子,通常具有两端大质量、细长轴和长跨度支承的"弱刚度"结构力学特征,这使得碰摩产生的约束作用不可忽视,其将会导致柔性转子模态特性改变,进而造成临界转速等动力学目标偏于设计状态。本文以典型航空发动机低压柔性转子为对象,结合梁单元法提出了此类复杂转子在碰摩约束下的动力学建模方法;将谐波平衡思想与频域的自由度缩减技术结合,提出了相适用的非线性模态求解方法;在此之上基于ANSYS和MATLAB平台,建立了含碰摩约束的复杂转子非线性模态分析的一般流程。将方法应用到某型柔性转子系统,成功获得其模态特性,结果表明：碰摩约束使转子模态频率增加,且随转子振幅增加而增加,尤其是对风扇碰摩较为敏感的一阶弯曲模态,正/反进动模态频率变化率可达16%和29%,但模态频率的变化始终在特定区间内;碰摩对转子模态频率的影响程度与陀螺效应、转子振型及机匣刚度密切相关,但对摩擦系数不敏感。由于接触点处摩擦力做功影响,柔性转子各阶反进动模态阻尼在碰摩严重时小于0,反进动模态能发生失稳。     

SPHERES flight operations testing and execution

Synchronized Position Hold Engage Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) is a formation flight testing facility consisting of three satellites operating inside the International Space Station (ISS). The goal is to use the long term microgravity environment of the ISS to mature formation flight and docking algorithms. The operations processes of SPHERES have also matured over the course of the first seven test sessions. This paper describes the evolution of the SPHERES program operations processes from conception to implementation to refinement through flight experience. Modifications to the operations processes were based on experience and feedback from Marshall Space Flight Center Payload Operations Center, USAF Space Test Program office at Johnson Space Center, and the crew of Expedition 13 (first to operate SPHERES on station). Important lessons learned were on aspects such as test session frequency, determination of session success, and contingency operations. This paper describes the tests sessions; then it details the lessons learned, the change in processes, and the impact on the outcome of later test sessions. SPHERES had very successful initial test sessions which allowed for modification and tailoring of the operations processes to streamline the code delivery and to tailor responses based on flight experiences.
