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.

Transition control of a tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicle with L1 neural network adaptive control

The main task of this work is to design a control system for a small tail-sitter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) during the transition process. Although reasonable control performance can be obtained through a well-tuned single PID or cascade PID control architecture under nominal conditions, large or fast time-varying disturbances and a wide range of changes in the equilibrium point bring nonlinear characteristics to the transition control during the transition process, which leads to control prec...

Surrogate role of machine learning in motor-drive optimization for more-electric aircraft applications

Motor drives form an essential part of the electric compressors, pumps, braking and actuation systems in the More-Electric Aircraft (MEA). In this paper, the application of Machine Learning (ML) in motor-drive design and optimization process is investigated. The general idea of using ML is to train surrogate models for the optimization. This training process is based on sample data collected from detailed simulation or experiment of motor drives. However, the Surrogate Role (SR) of ML may vary for different applications. This paper first introduces the principles of ML and then proposes two SRs (direct mapping approach and correction approach) of the ML in a motor-drive optimization process. Two different cases are given for the method comparison and validation of ML SRs. The first case is using the sample data from experiments to train the ML surrogate models. For the second case, the joint-simulation data is utilized for a multi-objective motor-drive optimization problem. It is found that both surrogate roles of ML can provide a good mapping model for the cases and in the second case, three feasible design schemes of ML are proposed and validated for the two SRs. Regarding the time consumption in optimizaiton, the proposed ML models can give one motor-drive design point up to 0.044 s while it takes more than 1.5 mins for the used simulation-based models.     

Quick identification of guidance law for an incoming missile using multiple-model mechanism

A guidance law parameter identification model based on Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network is established. The scenario of the model is that an incoming missile (called missile) attacks a target aircraft (called aircraft) using Proportional Navigation (PN) guidance law. The parameter identification is viewed as a regression problem in this paper rather than a classification problem, which means the assumption that the parameter is in a finite set of possible results is discarded. To increase the training speed of the neural network and obtain the nonlinear mapping relationship between kinematic information and the guidance law parameter of the incoming missile, an output processing method called Multiple-Model Mechanism (MMM) is proposed. Compared with a conventional GRU neural network, the model established in this paper can deal with data of any length through an encoding layer in front of the input layer. The effectiveness of the proposed Multiple-Model Mechanism and the performance of the guidance law parameter identification model are demonstrated using numerical simulation.
