Distributed fixed-time attitude coordinated control for multiple spacecraft with actuator saturation

This paper investigates the distributed fixed-time attitude coordinated control problem for multiple spacecraft subject to actuator saturation under the directed topology. First, a distributed fixed-time observer is presented for each follower spacecraft to estimate the leader spacecraft’s states. Compared with the commonly used fixed-time observer, the settling time of the proposed fixed-time observer can be easily adjusted by some free design parameters. Next, a distributed fixed-time control ...     

Compressor geometric uncertainty quantification under conditions from near choke to near stall

Geometric and working condition uncertainties are inevitable in a compressor, deviating the compressor performance from the design value. It’s necessary to explore the influence of geometric uncertainty on performance deviation under different working conditions. In this paper, the geometric uncertainty influences at near stall, peak efficiency, and near choke conditions under design speed and low speed are investigated. Firstly, manufacturing geometric uncertainties are analyzed. Next, correlation models between geometry and performance under different working conditions are constructed based on a neural network. Then the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method is introduced to explain the output of the neural network. Results show that under real manufacturing uncertainty, the efficiency deviation range is small under the near stall and peak efficiency conditions. However, under the near choke conditions, efficiency is highly sensitive to flow capacity changes caused by geometric uncertainty, leading to a significant increase in the efficiency deviation amplitude, up to a magnitude of ?3.6%. Moreover, the tip leading-edge radius and tip thickness are two main factors affecting efficiency deviation. Therefore, to reduce efficiency uncertainty, a compressor should be avoided working near the choke condition, and the tolerances of the tip leading-edge radius and tip thickness should be strictly controlled.

Beam tracking method based on reconfigurable intelligent surface for obstructed communication

This paper proposes a new reconfigurable intelligent surface based three-dimensional beam tracking method to solve the beam tracking problems for the unmanned aerial vehicle with obstacles in communication channels. The proposed beam tracking method can not only regulate the reconfigurable intelligent surfaces to achieve the beam tracking of the obstructed communications, but also optimize the transmission efficiency of the communication. Firstly, a reconfigurable intelligent surface is proposed, which can correlate the transmission signals by adjusting the phase-shift matrix. Meanwhile, a new communication channel is constructed according to the reconfigurable intelligent surface, which consists of two parts. The first one is the channel between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the reconfigurable intelligent surface, the other is the channel between the reconfigurable intelligent surface and the ground base station. Note that the transmission performance of the communications can be optimized by adjusting the phase shift of each uniform linear array on the reconfigurable intelligent surface. Then, a new beam tracking method for the unmanned aerial vehicle with obstructed communications is proposed on the basis of the reconfigurable intelligent surface. By proposing the mixed genetic algorithm, the estimation accuracy of the azimuth and elevation angles is improved to enhance the performance of the beam tracking. Finally, the simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed three-dimensional beam tracking method with reconfigurable intelligent surface.

Real-time ray-based channel generation and emulation for UAV communications

A real-time ray-based hardware emulator for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication channels which suits for the Three-Dimensional (3D) dynamic scenarios and considers the movements of both terminals is developed in this paper. The time-variant channel parameters, i.e., ray delay, ray gain, and ray Doppler frequency are precalculated in the host by using the Ray Tracing (RT) method. Meanwhile, RT simulation dramatically increases the number of valid rays. To address the problem of resource limitation and huge computational burden in the implementation, an efficient ray coefficients generation method based on iteration is proposed and implemented. With the advantages of low cost and high flexibility, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware platform is used to emulate the ray-based UAV channels by utilizing the compact architecture including the Time-Division (TD) scheme and Tapped-Delay Line (TDL) for channel convolution. Finally, hardware measurement results demonstrate that the properties of emulated channel, i.e., Power Delay Profile (PDP) and Doppler Power Spectrum Density (DPSD) consist with the simulated ones, which verifies the correctness of hardware implementation. The proposed channel emulator provides an efficient way for optimization, verification, and evaluation of UAV communication systems.

Study of aerodynamic and inertial forces of a experimental and numerical methods

The force-generation mechanism of a dovelike flapping-wing micro air vehicle was studied by numerical simulation and experiment. To obtain the real deformation pattern of the flapping wing, the digital image correlation technology was used to measure the dynamic deformation of the wing. The dynamic deformation data were subsequently interpolated and embedded into the CFD solver to account for the aeroelastic effects.
