A novel method of utilizing static mixer to obtain mixing homogeneity of multi-species powders in laser metal deposition

Real-time mixing of multi-species powder challenges Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). The current work proposes a novel method of using a static mixer to realize rapid, uniform multi-species powder mixing. Firstly, copper powder and 316L stainless steel powder are selected to complete the powder mixing observation experiment with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). Secondly, computational fluid dynamics and particle mixing simulation models are used to analyze the flow field and particle motion characteristics in the static mixer. Finally, LMD experiment and metallographic observation are carried out with 316L stainless steel powder and WC powder to verify the feasibility of the static mixer. This study provides a theoretical and practical basis for powder mixing in laser processing with a static mixer. The conclusions can also be applied to other processing fields requiring real-time and uniform mixing of multi-species powders.     

激光支持的脉冲等离子体推力器工作过程实验研究

为了加深对激光支持的脉冲等离子体推力器工作过程的认识，本文对有无陶瓷隔离板和不同初始电压下的激光支持的脉冲等离子体推力器进行了实验研究。利用放电伏安特性对比了放电特性参数和性能参数，然后利用结合窄带滤光镜的高速摄影技术揭示了性能差异背后的物理过程变化。结果表明，陶瓷隔离板可以有效避免放电电弧对工质的烧蚀，这可以抑制滞后烧蚀的产生，从而提高推力器的推进性能。对激光烧蚀产生的工质的电离和加速是在多次振荡放电过程中进行，而不像理想电流片模型那样只电离和加速一次。放电通道内工质的电离和加速效果最为显著的时间为放电的第2个半周期。随着初始电压的增加，单位放电能量产生的推进性能先增加后趋于平稳，然后继续增加。单位放电能量产生的推进性能在初始电压高于2050V后得到较大的提高，通过放电等离子体图像推测，这意味着附着等离子体电弧的存在对推力器性能的提高有重要影响。

基于IM/DD体制的星间激光通信测距技术

随着当前低轨卫星组网星座计划的日益增加，对卫星间高精度校时、测距需求也越来越迫切。提出基于直调直检IM/DD（Intensity Modulation with Direct Detection）的测距技术的实现方法，使其能同时兼顾测距精度及系统成本。基于IM/DD的测距是利用高精度的秒脉冲到达时间来测量距离。使用IM/DD光通信的数据传输方式，在正常的数据帧传输中插入少量的测距信息，无需中断正常的通信模式，也无需网络时钟频率同步，数据帧的发送周期也无需与秒脉冲保持同步关系，即可使用双向单程测距方法进行测距。使用秒脉冲对本地时钟进行频率测量，对测距过程参数进行修正，只需要采用普通晶体振荡器作为本地时钟源，不需要使用高精度测距通常所需的全网络同步时钟信号或者高稳定度时钟源，便可以达到IM/DD通信码元时间量级的测距准确度和精确度，同时降低了时频同步系统的复杂度、对元器件的要求以及整个通信测距系统的成本，解决了现有技术中测距精度及系统成本不易同时兼顾的问题。     

IABC: An iteratively automatic machine learning boosted hand-eye calibration method for laser displacement sensor

An on-machine measuring (OMM) system with a laser displacement sensor (LDS) is designed for measuring free-form surfaces of hypersonic aircraft’s radomes. To improve the measurement accuracy of the OMM system, a novel Iteratively Automatic machine learning Boosted hand-eye Calibration (IABC) method is proposed. Both the hand-eye relationship and LDS measurement errors can be calibrated in one calibration process without any hardware changes via IABC. Firstly, a new objective function is derived, containing analytical parameters of the hand-eye relationship and LDS errors. Then, a hybrid calibration model composed of two kernels is proposed to solve the objective function. One kernel is the analytical kernel designed for solving analytical parameters. Another kernel is the automatic machine learning (AutoML) kernel designed to model LDS errors. The two kernels are connected with stepwise iterations to find the best calibration results. Compared with traditional methods, hand-eye experiments show that IABC reduces the calibration RMSE by about 50%. Verification experiments show that IABC reduces the measurement deviations by about 25%-50% and RMSEs within 40%. Even when the training data are obviously less than the test data, IABC performs well. Experiments demonstrate that IABC is more accurate than traditional hand-eye methods.     

MC-LRF based pose measurement system for shipborne aircraft automatic landing

Due to the portability and anti-interference ability, vision-based shipborne aircraft automatic landing systems have attracted the attention of researchers. In this paper, a Monocular Camera and Laser Range Finder (MC-LRF)-based pose measurement system is designed for shipborne aircraft automatic landing. First, the system represents the target ship using a set of sparse landmarks, and a two-stage model is adopted to detect landmarks on the target ship. The rough 6D pose is measured by solving a Perspective-n-Point problem. Then, once the rough pose is measured, a region-based pose refinement is used to continuously track the 6D pose in the subsequent image sequences. To address the low accuracy of monocular pose measurement in the depth direction, the designed system adopts a laser range finder to obtain an accurate range value. The measured rough pose is iteratively optimized using the accurate range measurement. Experimental results on synthetic and real images show that the system achieves robust and precise pose measurement of the target ship during automatic landing. The measurement means error is within 0.4° in rotation, and 0.2% in translation, meeting the requirements for automatic fixed-wing aircraft landing.Received 5 July 2022; revised 19 August 2022; accepted 27 September 2022.
