Solar sail attitude control using shape variation of booms

Active attitude control of solar sails is required to control the direction of the force generated by Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP). It is desirable to control the attitude through propellant-free means. This paper proposes a new method for attitude control of solar sails: A boom consisting of “smart” structural material can be deformed by the piezoelectric actuator, and Solar Radiation Pressure torque will be generated due to shape variation of sail membrane caused by boom deformation. The method has the advantages of simple structure, small disturbance and small additional load, and is not limited by the size of the solar sail. The case of rendezvous with the Asteroid 2000 SG344 is used to verify the attitude control around the pitch and yaw axes.     

TC4钛合金切削中切屑塑性变形分析

对TC4钛合金切削过程中锯齿形切屑形成过程和切削力的关系进行了实验研究,并对锯齿形切屑形成中微观塑性变形区进行了分析。结果表明:当切削速度大于48.75 m/min时,切屑由带状转变为锯齿形。锯齿形切屑的形成导致了切削过程中切削力的波动变化,切削力与切屑的锯齿形变化规律一致,锯齿形切屑形成中塑性变形区的宽度随切削速度的增加而减小。     

Microstructure and Hot Deformation Behavior of Mg-9Al-3Si-0.375Sr-0.78Y Alloy

Using Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator， the high temperature plastic deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of Mg-9Al-3Si-0.375Sr-0.78Y alloy are investigated at the temperature of 523 K?673 K and the strain rate of 10-3 s-1?10 s-1. True strain-true stress curves show the characteristics of the typical dynamically recrystallization process. The Arrhenius constitutive equation of the hyperbolic model is established. The average activation energy and the strain rate sensitivity index are， respectively， 221.578 kJ.mol-1 and 0.137. The result shows that the α-Mg phase exhibits dynamic recrystallization (DRX) characteristics obviously. But no DRX occurs in theβ-Mg17Al12 phase. Hot deformation does not affect the primary Mg2Si phase. Under the conditions of low temperature (523 K?673 K) and high strain rate (1 s-1?10 s-1)， the flow instability and macro-defects such as crack appear in the specimens. However， there are finer recrystallization grains. Under the conditions of high temperature (≥673 K) or low strain rate， the microstructure of the alloy shows good homogeneity. The size of the primary Mg2Si phase is uniform， the size of the β-Mg17Al12 phase is small， and the distribution of the β-Mg17Al12 phase is uniform.     

基于线性位移模式的环形谐振子理论研究

环形谐振子理论是谐振陀螺研究领域的重要内容,然而在目前经典环形谐振子理论中,仍 存在很多问题尚未解决,例如:挠度控制方程不能精确求解环形结构的弯曲问题,获得的二阶弯曲 角频率及进动系数理论解不能充分反映出其随尺寸参数(如高度h、曲率半径r 等)变化的影响规 律等。为了克服上述不足,从环形结构理论的基本假设和基本条件出发,基于环形结构的线性位 移模式假设、虚功原理和哈密顿原理,建立新的环形谐振子理论,包括广义本构关系、平衡方程和 边界条件等,获得环形结构静态弯曲问题的解析求解方法和动态问题的理论解。最后,针对典型 的环形结构静、动态问题,通过与其他理论结果进行对比,验证了理论和求解方法的正确性。工作 表明,进动系数不是恒定的,其值会随着结构尺寸的不同在0.4附近很小范围内发生变化。
