A cost driven predictive maintenance policy for structural airframe maintenance

Airframe maintenance is traditionally performed at scheduled maintenance stops.The decision to repair a fuselage panel is based on a fixed crack size threshold,which allows to ensure the aircraft safety until the next scheduled maintenance stop.With progress in sensor technology and data processing techniques,structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are increasingly being considered in the aviation industry.SHM systems track the aircraft health state continuously,lead ing to the possibility of planning maintenance based on an actual state of aircraft rather than on a fixed schedule.This paper builds upon a model-based prognostics framework that the authors developed in their previous work,which couples the Extended Kalman filter (EKF) with a first order perturbation (FOP) method.By using the information given by this prognostics method,a novel cost driven predictive maintenance (CDPM) policy is proposed,which ensures the aircraft safety while minimizing the maintenance cost.The proposed policy is formally derived based on the trade-off between probabilities of occurrence of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.A numerical case study simulating the maintenance process of an entire fleet of aircrafts is imple mented.Under the condition of assuring the same safety level,the CDPM is compared in terms of cost with two other maintenance policies:scheduled maintenance and threshold based SHM maintenance.The comparison results show CDPM could lead to significant cost savings.     

Theoretical aspects of selecting repeated unit cell model in micromechanical analysis using displacement-based finite element method

Repeated Unit Cell(RUC)is a useful tool in micromechanical analysis of composites using Displacement-based Finite Element(DFE)method,and merely applying Periodic Displacement Boundary Conditions(PDBCs)to RUC is almost a standard practice to conduct such analysis.Two basic questions arising from this practice are whether Periodic Traction Boundary Conditions(PTBCs,also known as traction continuity conditions)are guaranteed and whether the solution is independent of selection of RUCs.This paper presents the theoretical aspects to tackle these questions,which unify the strong form,weak form and DFE method of the micromechanical problem together.Specifically,the solution’s independence of selection of RUCs is dealt with on the strong form side,PTBCs are derived from the weak form as natural boundary conditions,and the validity of merely applying PDBCs in micromechanical Finite Element(FE)analysis is proved by referring to its intrinsic connection to the strong form and weak form.Key points in the theoretical aspects are demonstrated by illustrative examples,and the merits of setting micromechanical FE analysis under the background of a clear theoretical framework are highlighted in the efficient selection of RUCs for Uni Directional(UD)fiber-reinforced composites.

永磁力矩电机三相绕组不对称性改进方法研究

由于力矩电机多作为驱动电机使用,且电机对低速平稳性要求很高,所以选用了一种特殊的极槽配合方式。12极39槽的选择使得电机齿槽转矩较小的同时导致电机三相绕组不对称。降低绕组不对称对电机低速平稳性的影响,对提高绕组的对称性的方法研究有着重要的意义。以一台采用12极39槽的力矩电机为例,提出了一种绕组不对称性的改进方法,通过改变绕组的排列方式提高了绕组的对称性,且保证了电机的低速平稳性。最终通过理论研究与仿真分析验证了不对称性改进方法的有效性。     

白天激光漫反射测距中微弱信号检测的单开门多触发方法

白天激光漫反射测距因存在强背景噪声,导致微弱回波信号的检测十分困难,严重限制了激光漫反射测距的广泛应用。因此,提出了采用单开门多触发方法解决白天激光漫反射测距的微弱信号检测难题。首先,介绍了一种GM-APD (Geiger-ModeAvalanchePhotoDiode,盖革模式雪崩光电二极管)多触发概率分布函数的快速求解方法。接着,取激光漫反射测距系统典型参数,理论分析了多触发情况下的回波信号检测概率,分析结果表明单开门多触发方法可提高激光漫反射测距在白天情况下的回波信号检测概率。同时,通过对触发次数限制的优选,可以增加有效检测比,减少白天观测条件下回波信号的提取代价。最终,通过系统仿真验证了理论分析结果的正确性。因此,单开门多触发方法是解决白天激光漫反射测距微弱信号检测的可行途径之一。

微孔纳米板与陶瓷纤维板热导率对比研究

文摘采用非稳态热线法测试了微孔纳米板与陶瓷纤维板在RT~1 000℃区间热导率,利用SEM微观形貌与荧光光谱成分分析,结合微观导热机理对测试结果进行了分析。结果表明:纳米板热导率分布在0.03~0.1 W/(m·K)区间,纤维板为0.055~0.25 W/(m·K);两种材料热导率均随着温度升高而增大,且规律均为先缓后急,不同的是,纤维板热导率在300℃以后开始急剧增大,而纳米板在550℃之后才开始较快增长;纳米板整体上升趋势缓于纤维板,温度越高,两者热导率差异越大。分析认为纳米尺寸的固体颗粒及内部气孔是纳米板拥有低热导率的关键因素。

后缘喷流对三角翼绕流影响的N-S方程数值分析

本文用拟压缩性方法求解不可压流雷诺平均拟压缩Ｎ－Ｓ方程组,对带有后缘喷流的三角翼粘性绕流进行了数值模拟,求解中采用了Ｂｅａｍ－Ｗａｒｍｉｎｇ隐式近似因子分解格式以及ＭＭＬ代数湍流模型。计算结果说明,后缘喷流使涡核压强降低,使涡核速度增大,从而对三角翼前缘分离涡有稳定作用,并能增大上翼面的负压值和下翼面的正压值,从而可以增加部分升力。计算结果还说明,喷口面积或喷流下偏会使上述作用增强。
