Spatial and temporal monitoring of drought conditions using the satellite rainfall estimates and remote sensing optical and thermal measurements

Drought is an important natural disaster that causes devastating impacts on the ecosystem, livestock, environment, and society. So far, various remote-sensing methods have been developed to estimate drought conditions, each of which has advantages and restrictions. This study aims to monitor the real-time drought indices at the field scales via the integration of various earth observations. Our proposed method consists of two steps. In the first step, the relationships between long-term standardized precipitation indices (SPI) derived from PERSIANN-CDR rainfall data and two drought-dependent parameters derived from MODIS products, including normalized NDVI and soil-air temperature gradient, are obtained at the spatial resolution of PERSIANN-CDR grid (approximately 25 km). As the next step, the corresponding relationships are applied to estimate the drought index maps at the spatial resolution of MODIS products (1 km). Numerous analyses are carried out to evaluate the proposed method. The results revealed that, from various drought indices, including SPIs of different timescales (1, 3, 6, and 12-months), SPI-3 and SPI-6 are more appropriate to the proposed method in terms of correlation with temperature and vegetation parameters. The findings also demonstrate the competency of the proposed method in estimating SPI indices with average RMSE 0.67 and the average correlation coefficient of 0.74.     

蒙皮材料对浮空器热特性影响的研究

分析临近空间浮空器热特性的影响因素,并建立临近空间浮空器热特性的数学模型,采用Fortran语言编写程序,对蒙皮材料热辐射特性对浮空器热特性的影响进行了研究.结果表明,选用短波吸收率较低且长波辐射发射率较高的蒙皮材料时,氦气平均温度的昼夜差值较低,浮空器热性能越好.夜晚蒙皮温差随长波辐射发射率的增加而增加;而白天随短波辐射吸收率的增加而增加,在长波辐射发射率较大时,其对蒙皮温差的影响不大,然而长波辐射发射率比较小时,蒙皮温差会非常大,蒙皮温差的峰值出现于黎明和黄昏时段这两个时段.     

Influence of uniaxial tensile pre-strain on forming limit curve by using biaxial tensile test

This paper focused on the effect of pre-strain on forming limit curves (FLC) of 5754-O aluminum alloy sheet through utilizing biaxial tensile approach. Based on Swift model and Yld2000-2d yield criterion, the dimensions of cruciform specimen was optimized through applying finite element method for increasing the strain at specimen center. After that, with the recommended specimen size, the cruciform specimen was tested under various stroke ratios to experimentally characterize the limit strains under different pre-strain levels. Subsequently, the biaxial tensile tests were simulated by Abaqus to obtain the limit strains and validate the material models. It can be observed in both experiments and simulations that the pre-strained uniaxial tension followed by plane tension or equi-biaxial tension can improve the formability of sheet metals. Besides, the strain path change affects the trend of first derivative of strain rate difference between neighboring points with respect to time. An early increase occurred and then fell back to the stable value, the steady evolution continued until to a new increase reaching the critical value. The M–K prediction approach was simulated to verify the influence of pre-strain on FLC. It can be found that the early increase peaks of the major strain incremental ratio rose with the amplitude of pre-strain. Finally, the phenomenon of pseudolocalization caused by the strain path change was explained through evolution of stress state inside the groove.     

Optimization and design of an aircraft's morphing wing-tip demonstrator for drag reduction at low speeds,Part Ⅱ-Experimental validation using Infra-Red transition measurement from Wind Tunnel tests

In the present paper, an ‘in-house' genetic algorithm was numerically and experimentally validated. The genetic algorithm was applied to an optimization problem for improving the aerodynamic performances of an aircraft wing tip through upper surface morphing. The optimization was performed for 16 flight cases expressed in terms of various combinations of speeds, angles of attack and aileron deflections. The displacements resulted from the optimization were used during the wind tunnel tests of the wing tip demonstrator for the actuators control to change the upper surface shape of the wing. The results of the optimization of the flow behavior for the airfoil morphing upper-surface problem were validated with wind tunnel experimental transition results obtained with infra-red Thermography on the wing-tip demonstrator. The validation proved that the 2D numerical optimization using the ‘in-house' genetic algorithm was an appropriate tool in improving various aspects of a wing's aerodynamic performances.
