A Novel Onboard-gateway-based Mechanism to Improve TCP Performance in Aeronautical Satellite Networks

The IP-based networks on aircraft serve to support Internet services via satellites. However, in aeronautical satellite hybrid net- works,the TCP protocol performance often deteriorates due to improper decreases and slow recovery of the congestion window. This paper proposes a window size determination and notification mechanism, onboard-gateway-based mechanism (OGBM), which is based on the onboard gateway in the networks on aircraft. A cross-layer approach is adopted by the onboard gateway to obtain the satellite link bandwidth information. And then, by the gateway, through changing the receiver’s advertised window field in ACK packets, TCP sources are notified of the window size of each TCP source calculated on the ground of bandwidth delay product and flow numbers. The mechanism is able to avoid improper changes of TCP window and serve multiple users. Simulation results show that the mechanism with the fairness index close to 1 improves TCP performance in aeronautical satellite networks.     

Simulation and Analysis of Crashworthiness of Fuel Tank for Helicopters

Crashworthiness requirement of fuel tanks is one of the important requirements in helicopter designs. The relations among the protection frame, textile layer and rubber layer of the fuel tank are introduced. Two appropriate FE models are established, one is for an uncovered helicopter fuel tank without protection frame, and the other is for fuel tank with protection frame. The dynamic responses of the two types of fuel tanks impinging on the ground with velocities of 17.3 m/s are numerically simulated for the purpose of analyzing energy-absorbing capabilities of the textile layer and protection frame. The feasibility of the current crashworthiness design of the fuel tank is examined though comparing the dynamic response behaviors of the two fuel tanks.

Ф3．2m风洞活动地板系统研制

目前在风洞中通常采用固定地板和活动地板两种模拟方法开展飞行器地面效应研究,确定地面效应影响量大小。采用固定地板模拟地面时,由于存在地板边界层,不能真实模拟飞机近地飞行状况。采用活动地板模拟地面时,由于活动带运行速度和方向与来流一致,在活动地板表面不存在边界层,可以真实模拟飞机近地飞行状况,提高地面效应试验数据的精准度。介绍了Ф3．2m风洞活动地板系统的研制情况,对活动地板系统的组成、结构形式、主要技术指标等作了简要介绍。YF-16模型试验结果表明：Ф3．2m风洞活动地板试验系统的性能指标达到了设计要求,活动带最大运行速度为60m／s;活动地板和固定地板两种模拟方法获得的地面效应试验结果存在较大差别,差别大小随地板高度和飞机姿态角变化而变化。

An improved numerical method for constructing Halo/Lissajous orbits in a full solar system model

An improved numerical method that can construct Halo/Lissajous orbits in the vicinity of collinear libration points in a full solar system model is investigated. A full solar system gravitational model in the geocentric rotating coordinate system with a clear presentation of the angular velocity relative to the inertial coordinate system is proposed. An alternative way to determine patch points in the multiple shooting method is provided based on a dynamical analysis with Poincare′sections. By employing the new patch points and sequential quadratic programming, Halo orbits for L_1, L_2, and L_3 points as well as Lissajous orbits for L_1 and L_2 points in the EarthMoon system are generated with the proposed full solar system gravitational model to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

单推力航天器交会对接轨迹规划及跟踪控制

针对单推力航天器交会对接问题,提出一种轨迹规划及跟踪算法。首先,考虑到追踪航天器只沿本体X轴安装推力器,且推力方向固定,为了实现从起始位置转移至期望位置并满足姿态要求,基于三维螺旋线设计两阶段转移轨迹,根据初末位置以及末端速度方向要求,求解螺旋线参数。该螺旋线可以保证在初末速度方向固定情况下,曲率积分最小。其次,为了降低轨迹跟踪难度并减小初始时刻的位置跟踪控制力,需要将转移轨迹初始速度与追踪星X轴重合。传统螺旋线无法满足该约束条件。本文对传统螺旋线进行改进,提出一种旋转螺旋线轨迹设计方法。通过引入姿态旋转矩阵,将螺旋线在三维空间旋转,在不改变曲线形状的前提下满足初末位置及速度方向要求。然后,为了跟踪转移轨迹以及跟踪期望推力方向,提出基于CLF（Control Lyapunov Function）的滑模控制策略,当追踪星X轴与期望推力方向夹角较大时,采用CLF,保证最优性;当姿态误差收敛至滑模面附近时,切换为滑模控制,以提升系统鲁棒性。最后,通过仿真验证旋转螺旋线相比于传统螺旋线的优势。
