Coupling plasma plume of a low-power magnetically shielded Hall thruster with a hollow cathode

The coupling region of a Hall thruster with a hollow cathode is the region between the cathode and the thruster plume. The characteristics of plasma in that region are complicated and strongly associated with the thruster working conditions and the cathode position. In this paper, a laboratory 100 W class magnetically shielded Hall thruster was coupled with a hollow cathode. Optical imaging and electrostatic probe were employed to monitor and scan the plasma plume. Plume characteristics in the coupling region in non-self-sustained mode and self-sustained mode were compared. Evolution of the coupling plume with the cathode position was studied. Experiments show that, when turning the thruster into self-sustained mode or moving the cathode further away axially, the discharge current can be reduced by 6.4–10.6% restraining the electron current and improving ionization. In particular, when the cathode is moved further, the electron conduction near the channel walls is suppressed. The electron current is reduced by 27.4% and the ion beam current is increased by 7%. Overall, this work shows that the working mode of the thruster and the position of the cathode greatly affect the coupling plasma plume. Both play an important role in improving the utilizations of propellant and current.     

Resistance welding of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite: Experimental investigation and process parameter optimization

The utilization of fiber reinforced thermoplastics (FRTP) is expected to fulfill lightweight demand in mass-produced aerospace products. Facing the unavoidable assembly of FRTP parts, fusion bonding methods such as resistance welding are promising compared with mechanical joint and adhesive bonding. In this paper, a procedure has been brought out to understand the relationship between processing conditions and performance of the FRTP welding joints. The adherends were continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF/PP) laminates fabricated by hot-pressing method. The influences of time, current and pressure on the bending strength of the resistance welding joints were investigated. A processing window was drawn based on the optical observation of welded surfaces. The quantitative relationship between process parameters and mechanical property of GF/PP welding joint was established by Response Surface Method (RSM) with high accuracy. It was found that bending strength of GF/PP welding joint was improved by 31% compared with hot-pressing benchmark.

 针对液压伺服系统常规"白箱"建模由于参数无法精确获得导致所得模型精度不高及"黑箱"建模所得模型内部结构未知的问题,本文提出基于ODE参数辨识的液压伺服系统"灰箱"建模。首先,建立了工程上实用的系统状态空间模型, 根据系统特征确定了待辨识参数,将模型辨识问题转化为常微分方程(ODE)参数辨识问题;然后,采用正弦扫频信号作为激励信号和基于带边界约束的信赖域优化算法的初值问题方法进行参数辨识;为了和ODE参数辨识结果进行对比,本文同时采用系统的频率响应数据和最小二乘法辨识得到系统的"黑箱"传递函数模型;最后,通过大量实验验证了辨识模型的精确度。实验结果表明,本文提出的基于信赖域算法的液压伺服系统模型辨识方法可以有效处理参数的边界问题,使辨识模型既具有实际的物理意义,又与实际系统高度符合。     

一种飞机操纵面驼峰型颤振随高度变化特性研究

飞机操纵面旋转和安定面弯曲模态频率较近时易耦合形成一种速度阻尼特性随高度显著变化的驼峰型颤振。某飞机垂尾颤振分析表明超过一定高度后驼峰型颤振分支阻尼峰值会超过结构阻尼系数,成为临界颤振型,并且随飞行高度增加阻尼峰值迅速增加。针对上述情况采用了三种方案抑制驼峰型颤振,算例表明降低30%安定面弯曲刚度,增加25%结构质量,操纵面旋转频率增加60%以上均能有效抑制高空驼峰型颤振。

Ni/Ti中间层部分瞬间液相法连接C/C复合材料和GH3044

采用Ni/Ti中间层,部分瞬间液相法(Partial Transient Liquid-Phase,简称PTLP)连接C/C复合材料和GH3044,通过SEM+EDS对接头的微观结构和元素分布进行了表征,并分析了接头形成机理。研究表明,这种方法可实现C/C复合材料与中间层、中间层与GH3044界面处的良好结合;所得接头截面为GH3044/扩散层/残余Ni层/Ni-Ti金属间化合物层/炭化物反应层/C/C复合材料;随保温时间的延长,接头中金属间化合物Ni3Ti不断生长,同时两侧的Ni、NiTi被逐渐消耗。另外,因为C/C复合材料和GH3044的热膨胀系数(Coefficient of Thermal Expansion,CTE)差别很大,所以冷却过程中产生了较大的热应力,导致C/C复合材料/中间层界面附近出现了大尺寸裂纹,使接头性能下降,其剪切强度仅有9.78 MPa。
