高超声速飞行器强鲁棒自适应控制器设计新方法

针对高超声速飞行器飞行过程系统参数大范围剧烈变化以及存在严重不确定性的特点,同时考虑外界环境干扰复杂,内部干扰严重的特殊问题,提出了一种新型强鲁棒自适应控制器构型。该新型强鲁棒自适应控制器将控制器分为标称控制器和补偿控制器。标称控制器可采用成熟的控制理论来设计,主要考虑闭环系统的性能;采用合适的手段估计系统参数大范围剧烈变化、系统的不确定性以及内、外部干扰等“系统扰动”作为补偿控制器的输入,通过设计强鲁棒补偿控制器对“系统扰动”进行补偿,使整个闭环控制系统对“系统扰动”具有强鲁棒性。将新型强鲁棒自适应控制器应用于高超声速飞行器的姿态控制系统的设计,大大提高了高超声速飞行器控制系统对内、外部干扰的抑制和对系统参数大范围剧烈变化以及严重不确定性的适应能力,可满足高超声速飞行器飞行控制的需求。     

Crashworthiness uncertainty analysis of typical civil aircraft based on Box–Behnken method

The crashworthiness is an important design factor of civil aircraft related with the safety of occupant during impact accident. It is a highly nonlinear transient dynamic problem and may be greatly influenced by the uncertainty factors. Crashworthiness uncertainty analysis is conducted to investigate the effects of initial conditions, structural dimensions and material properties. Simplified finite element model is built based on the geometrical model and basic physics phenomenon. Box–Behnken sampling and response surface methods are adopted to obtain gradient information.Results show that the proposed methods are effective for crashworthiness uncertainty analysis.Yield stress, frame thickness, impact velocity and angle have great influence on the failure behavior,and yield stress and frame thickness dominate the uncertainty of internal energy. Failure strain and tangent modulus have the smallest influence on the initial peak acceleration, and gradients of mean acceleration increase because the appearance of material plastic deformation and element failure.     

航空发动机分布式控制系统不确定性鲁棒H∞容错控制

为减小不确定性对航空发动机分布式控制系统性能的影响,针对具有参数摄动、不确定时延、执行机构动态故障、外部噪声干扰四种不确定性的航空发动机分布式控制系统,提出了一种基于鲁棒H∞理论的容错控制方法.首先对系统不确定性进行数学描述,将不确定时延视为服从齐次Markov链分布的随机变量,将执行机构故障等效为存在均值和方差约束的随机变量,并在此基础上建立整个闭环系统的增广模型;其次证明了该增广模型保持均方渐进稳定且具备H∞性能的充分条件;最后利用线性矩阵不等式(LMI)理论给出闭环系统鲁棒H∞容错控制器的设计方法.仿真结果表明该方法能够保证控制系统均方渐进稳定,并对以上四种不确定因素具有鲁棒性,同时对于飞行包线其他各点具有较好的动态响应.     

基于二阶鲁棒滑模观测器的民用涡扇发动机气路故障诊断

针对状态估计器在航空发动机气路参数估计中响应迟缓、鲁棒性不强等问题,以未知输入重构的思路,提出了一种基于Super-twisting滑模观测器的航空发动机气路故障诊断方法。通过将健康参数考虑为未知输入,设计滑模切换项重构健康参数的变化量,由于避免了状态估计器设计中健康参数导数为零的假设,本文的方法在处理突变故障时拥有更快的响应速度。针对鲁棒性问题,提出了一种新的故障向量增广形式,通过将扰动项增广至健康参数向量中,观测器的重构信号能够同时估计出健康参数变化量以及扰动项的大小,实现扰动与部件故障的解耦,从而避免了不确定项对健康参数估计结果的影响。本文建立了民用涡扇发动机包线范围内的线性变参数模型,通过不同故障模式下的数值仿真,并与状态估计器比较,验证了方法的有效性。结果表明,设计的滑模观测器具有小于0.5%的估计误差,有效地提高了气路健康参数的估计速度,增强了对不确定性的鲁棒性。     

真实运行状态下叶顶间隙尺寸波动对跨声速转子气动性能的影响研究

为分析跨声速转子实时波动的叶顶间隙尺寸对气动性能的影响,对跨声速压气机转子真实运行状态下一个稳定工况实时波动的叶顶间隙数据进行统计分析,获得了叶顶间隙尺寸的总体水平、波动幅值和概率分布形式。以跨声速压气机转子NASA Rotor 37为研究对象,采用非嵌入式混沌多项式不确定性量化方法,对100%转速下近失速和峰值效率两个工况施加相同叶顶间隙波动对跨声速转子气动性能的影响进行了不确定性量化分析。结果表明,真实运行状态下叶顶间隙波动对气动性能的总体水平无影响,但会缩小喘振裕度3.75%;近失速工况对叶顶间隙波动更为敏感,各参数的相对波动幅值均较峰值效率工况有所增大,等熵效率受叶顶间隙波动的影响比质量流量和总压比大;近失速工况下叶顶间隙波动在叶高方向上的影响范围和强度均大于峰值效率工况,98%叶高位置处静压系数和总压损失系数最大相对波动幅值分别可达14.84%和5%。峰值效率工况下流场中的不确定性主要由叶顶泄漏流及其与激波相互作用引起;而近失速工况下流场当中的不确定性则是由激波和吸力面分离流动起主要作用。

GRACE products and land surface models for estimating the changes in key water storage components in the Nile River Basin

The Nile River Basin (NRB) is facing extreme demand for its water resources due to an alarming increase in population and the changing climate. The NRB is not compatible with ground-based in-situ observations owing to its large basin area size and limited hydrological data access from basin countries. Thus, it lends itself to remotely sensed approaches with high spatial resolution and extended temporal coverage. The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) avails a unique opportunity to investigate the changes in key components of terrestrial water storage (TWS). GRACE TWS solutions have specific tuning parameters and processing strategies that result in regionally specific variations and error patterns. We explored the TWS time series spatiotemporal changes, trends, uncertainties, and signal-to-noise ratio among different GRACE TWS data. We had also investigated the key terrestrial water storage components such as surface water, soil moisture, and groundwater storage changes. The results show that GRACE spherical harmonic solutions' uncertainty is higher than the mass concentration (mascon) over the NRB, and the Center for Space Research-mascons had the best performance. The evapotranspiration correlation (R² = 0.85) has the highest correlation with GRACE’s TWS, whereas the normalized difference vegetation index (R² = 0.82) has the second highest correlation. Notably, significant long-term (2003–2017) negative groundwater and soil moisture trends demonstrate a potential depletion of the NRB. Despite an increase in precipitation and the TWS time series, the rate of decline increased rapidly after 2008, thereby indicating the possibility of human-induced change (e.g. for irrigation purposes). Therefore, the results of this study provide a guide for future studies related to hydro-climatic change over the NRB and similar basins.     

Remarks on “A new non-specificity measure in evidence theory based on belief intervals”

Two types of uncertainty co-exist in the theory of evidence: discord and non-specificity. From 90s, many mathematical expressions have arisen to quantify these two parts in an evidence. An important aspect of each measure presented is the verification of a coherent set of properties. About non-specificity, so far only one measure verifies an important set of those properties. Very recently, a new measure of non-specificity based on belief intervals has been presented as an alternative measure that quantifies a similar set of properties (Yang et al., 2016). It is shown that the new measure really does not verify two of those important properties. Some errors have been found in their corresponding proofs in the original publication.     

Uncertain multiobjective redundancy allocation problem of repairable systems based on artificial bee colony algorithm

Based on the uncertainty theory, this paper is devoted to the redundancy allocation problem in repairable parallel-series systems with uncertain factors, where the failure rate, repair rate and other relative coefficients involved are considered as uncertain variables. The availability of the system and the corresponding designing cost are considered as two optimization objectives. A crisp multiobjective optimization formulation is presented on the basis of uncertainty theory to solve this resultant problem. For solving this problem efficiently, a new multiobjective artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed to search the Pareto efficient set, which introduces rank value and crowding distance in the greedy selection strategy, applies fast non-dominated sort procedure in the exploitation search and inserts tournament selection in the onlooker bee phase. It shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms NSGA-II greatly and can solve multiobjective redundancy allocation problem efficiently. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate this approach.
