An adaptive fast fixed-time guidance law with an impact angle constraint for intercepting maneuvering targets

Sliding mode guidance laws based on a conventional terminal sliding mode guarantees only finite-time convergence, which verifies that the settling time is required to be estimated by selecting appropriate initial launched conditions. However, rapid convergence to a desired impact angle within a uniform bounded finite time is important in most practical guidance applications. A uniformly finite-time/fixed-time convergent guidance law means that the convergence (settling) time is predefined independently on initial conditions, that is, a closed-loop convergence time can be estimated a priori by guidance parameters. In this paper, a novel adaptive fast fixed-time sliding mode guidance law to intercept maneuver targets at a desired impact angle from any initial heading angle, with no problems of singularity and chattering, is designed. The proposed guidance law achieves system stabilization within bounded settling time independent on initial conditions and achieves more rapid convergence than those of fixed-time stable control methods by accelerating the convergence rate when the system is close to the origin. The achieved acceleration-magnitude constraints are rigorously enforced, and the chattering-free property is guaranteed by adaptive switching gains. Extensive numerical simulations are presented to validate the efficiency and superiority of the proposed guidance law for different initial engagement geometries and impact angles.     

球铰接杆式支撑臂展开过程中横向振动分析

针对展开过程中球铰接杆式支撑臂时变构型的横向振动问题,推导了支撑臂等效连续体模型的各向等效刚度,基于Hamilton原理推导了支撑臂展开过程的控制方程,采用加权余量法将偏微分控制方程转化为常微分方程,利用Runge Kutta法对方程进行了数值求解。计算结果表明：在收拢过程中,支撑臂末端的横向振幅越来越小,收拢过程是安全可靠的;而在展开过程中,末端的横向振幅随展开进程而增加,且振幅随末端负载质量增加而增加;若不考虑锁定冲击,展开速度对支撑臂横向振动的振幅影响可忽略,若考虑锁定带来的周期性冲击时,支撑臂的横向振幅将显著增大。为减小支撑臂的横向振动,必须对支撑臂展开速度加以限制。研究结果为航天器支撑臂在轨展开的控制提供了参考。     

Fractional order tension control for stable and fast tethered satellite retrieval

The retrieval of a tethered satellite system is intrinsically unstable. This paper develops a new control strategy to retrieve the tethered satellite system stably and quickly using the fractional order control theory. The governing equation of the tethered satellite system and classic linear feedback tension control law were first reviewed and examined as a benchmark. Then, a new fractional order tension control law has been to avoid the tethered satellite winds around the main satellite near the end of retrieval by existing integer order tension control laws. The newly proposed control law has been discretized and implemented by the Laplace transform and Tustin operator. Unlike the existing integer order control laws, which are based on the feedback of current state and memoryless, the fractional order control law has the memory of previous states and thus controls the tether retrieval more smoothly while maintaining the retrieving speed. The effectiveness and advantage of the new fractional order tension control law is demonstrated numerically by comparing with its integer order counterpart. The results show that the new control law not only retrieves the subsatellite without winding around the main satellite, but also provides a better control performance with smaller in-plane libration angles.     

Structural and collisional data for Mg III and Al IV

We present in this work energy levels, oscillator strengths, radiative decay rates and fine structure collision strengths for the Mg III and Al IV ions. The 11 configurations: (1s²) 2s²2p⁶, 2s²2p⁵3l, 2s2p⁶3l, 2s²2p⁵4l   (l?n-1$l?n-1$, where n is the principal quantum number), yielding the lowest 75 levels are used. The collisional data for these two ions are missing in the literature, especially the database CHIANTI, this is the principal motivation behind the present work. Calculations have been performed using the AUTOSTRUCTURE code. AUTOSTRUCTURE treats the scattering problem in the distorted wave approach. Fine structure collision strengths are calculated for a range of electron energies from 10 Ry to 240 Ry. The atomic structure data are compared to available experimental and theoretical results.     

Features of the occurrence of the additional stratification on the bottom-side F region over the equatorial location of Trivandrum

The general features of occurrence of an additional layer on the bottom side of F region, referred to as F0.5 layer in the pre noon period, over the magnetic equatorial location of Trivandrum (8.5° N; 77° E; dip lat of 0.5° N) in India during the period from 2004 to 2007 are presented using ionosonde observations. The F0.5 layer has a June (northern summer) solsticial maximum probability of occurrence with secondary maxima during December (northern winter) solstice. The seasonal as well as the day-to-day variability in the occurrence of F0.5 layer as mentioned in this paper seems to be a result of the variations in the amplitude and phases of the tides and gravity waves, and inventory of the metallic ions of meteoric origin. This study brings out an important manifestation of morning time F layer base region dynamics.

液体火箭发动机热力组件动力学模型

 为了评判不同假设条件下得出的几种热力组件动力学模型的特点和适用范围,对其频率特性进行分析,并探讨了主要参数的影响规律。对于双组元非等温燃气流,在低频范围内采用考虑熵波效应的绝热流动模型更加精确。燃烧温度与混合比关系的无量纲斜率值越大,推进剂流量波动产生的熵波影响越明显。通过在分布参数流动模型中添加指数衰减率来表示熵波随频率的增大而耗散。改进的声学模型形式简单,既能在低频范围内描述熵波,又能在高频范围表征熵波的耗散,可以在很宽的频率范围内合理地描述燃气流动的动态特性。
