一种仿蜜蜂类昆虫扑翼悬停控制的仿真估算研究

基于准稳态气动力模型,推导了仿蜜蜂类昆虫扑翼气动力和力矩估算公式,建立了扑翼运动函数.将仿蜜蜂类昆虫扑翼视为空间运动刚体,在其动力学方程基础上,采用分层控制策略研究悬停控制问题.外层为位置控制,X和Y位置应用PD控制算法,Z位置应用切换控制方法;内层姿态控制采用切换控制方法,并选择了一套机翼运动参数用于切换控制.最后进行了仿蜜蜂类昆虫扑翼悬停控制仿真试验,试验结果表明所设计的控制策略是有效的,一旦昆虫扑翼受到干扰偏离平衡位置后,通过自动调节能够回到平衡位置附近.      

基于群论的空间可展开结构自由度分析

为了开发构型新颖、生命力强、便于运输和储藏的空间可展开结构，使其满足所处环境的时间、空间等苛刻条件，适应特殊任务的实际需求，亟需开展空间可展开结构的自由度及折展性能分析。由于现有可展结构多具有一定的对称性，基于群论方法，从对称学角度解析结构可动的本质，提出判别对称体系可动性的充分条件。根据几何约束性质，运用矩阵理论和变分原理，推导了可展结构中典型构成单元的位移协调矩阵。利用对称子空间，推导了机构位移模态、自应力模态的对称表示，并以闭合环形可展开结构为研究对象，开展了结构自由度分析。研究工作有助于新型空间可展开结构的研发与设计，为可展结构及其衍生结构的进一步研究与应用提供了理论基础。     

A review of bird-like flapping wing with high aspect ratio

Bird-like flapping-wing vehicles with a high aspect ratio have the potential to fulfill missions given to micro air vehicles, such as high-altitude reconnaissance, surveillance, rescue, and bird group guidance, due to their good loading and long endurance capacities. Biologists and aeronautical researchers have explored the mystery of avian flight and made efforts to reproduce flapping flight in bioinspired aircraft for decades. However, the cognitive depth from theory to practice is still very limited. The mechanism of generating sufficient lift and thrust during avian flight is still not fully understood. Moving wings with unique biological structures such as feathers make modeling, simulation, experimentation, and analysis much more difficult. This paper reviews the research progress on bird-like flapping wings from flight mechanisms to modeling. Commonly used numerical computing methods are briefly compared. The aeroelastic problems are also highlighted. The results of the investigation show that a leading-edge vortex can be found during avian flight. Its induction and maintenance may have a close relationship with wing configuration, kinematics and deformation. The present models of flapping wings are mainly two-dimensional airfoils or three-dimensional single root-jointed geometric plates, which still exhibit large differences from real bird wings. Aeroelasticity is encouraged to consider the nonignorable effect on aerodynamic performance due to large-scale nonlinear deformation. Introducing appropriate flexibility can improve the peak values and efficiencies of lift and thrust, but the detailed conclusions always have strong background dependence.
