计算故障先验概率的最大熵方法

为了解决故障先验概率估算不准的问题,提出了基于最大熵的故障先验概率的计算模型.该模型以相关的先验信息作为最大概率估计的约束条件,并通过拉格朗日函数,将故障先验概率估算问题转化成无约束优化问题.为了实现对无约束优化问题的快速求解,提出了一种基于最速下降法和牛顿法的混合梯度算法;并且,针对大规模系统中故障变量过多的情况,依据系统分解的原则,将高维故障空间分解为多个低维故障空间,给出了低维故障空间求解的快速计算方法.通过最大熵方法和故障平均间隔(MTTF,Mean Time To Failure)方法的结果比较,证明最大熵方法更具准确性.      

一种鲁棒GNSS矢量跟踪环

复杂环境下导航接收机的连续可用性一直是卫星导航领域的研究重点。针对矢量跟踪环动态适应性不够和误差在通道间传播的问题,提出一种鲁棒全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)矢量跟踪环。基于各通道的伪距、伪距率和伪距加速度状态量构建扩展卡尔曼滤波器(EKF),通过灵活设置过程噪声方差阵,实现跟踪通道的耦合与解耦;采用基于极大似然估计器(MLE)的鉴别器生成码延迟和载波频率偏差观测量;利用滤波值修正并预测伪距率来控制本地数控振荡器(NCO),实现环路的闭合。仿真结果表明,本文设计的矢量跟踪环在保证环路相互辅助的基础上,避免了衰减通道误差在通道间的传播,可以对被遮挡信号保持稳定跟踪,鲁棒性优于传统矢量延迟频率锁定环。     

Oblique shock train motion based on schlieren image processing

In this paper, shock train motion in a Mach number 2.7 duct is studied experimentally, and large numbers of schlieren images are obtained by a high-speed camera. An image processing method based on Maximum Correlation Detection (MCD) is proposed to detect shock train motion from the schlieren images, based on which the key structures, e.g., separation positions and separation shock angles on the top and bottom walls, can be analysed in detail. The oscillations of the shock train are generated by rhombus and ellipse shafts at various excitation frequencies. According to the analysis of MCD results, the distributions of the frequency components of shock train oscillation generated by the two shafts are distinctly different, in which the motion generated by the ellipse shaft is much smoother; shock train motion is mainly characterized by the oscillation of separation position while the separation shock strength is not so sensitive to downstream disturbance; there is a hysteresis loop relation between the downstream pressure and separation position.     

Topology optimization of turbine disk considering maximum stress prediction and constraints

For the stress-constrained topology optimization of a turbine disk under centrifugal loads, the jagged boundaries of the mesh and the gray densities on the solid/void interfaces could make the calculated stress field inconsistent with the actual value. It may result in overestimating the maximum stress and thus affect the effectiveness of stress constraints. This paper proposes a new method for predicting the maximum stress to overcome the difficulty. In the process, a predicted density is newly defined to obtain stable boundaries with thin layers of gray elements, a transition factor is innovatively proposed to evaluate the effects of intermediate-density elements, two different stiffness penalty schemes are flexibly used to calculate the elastic modulus of elements, and a linear stress penalty is further adopted to relax the stress field of the structure. The proposed approach for predicting the maximum stress value is verified by the analysis of a structure with smooth boundaries and the topology optimization of a turbine disk. An updating scheme of the stress constraint in the topology optimization is also developed using the predicted maximum stress. Some key ingredients affecting the optimization results are discussed in detail. The results prove the effectiveness and efficacy of the proposed maximum stress prediction and developed stress constraint methods.     

Improving multi-target cooperative tracking guidance for UAV swarms using multi-agent reinforcement learning

Multi-Target Tracking Guidance(MTTG) in unknown environments has great potential values in applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) swarms. Although Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning(MADRL) is a promising technique for learning cooperation, most of the existing methods cannot scale well to decentralized UAV swarms due to their computational complexity or global information requirement. This paper proposes a decentralized MADRL method using the maximum reciprocal reward to learn cooper...     

SINS/GNSS integrated navigation system based on maximum versoria filter

In the missile-borne Strapdown Inertial Navigation System/Global Navigation Satellite System (SINS/GNSS) integrated navigation system, due to the factors such as the high dynamics, the signal blocking by obstacles, the signal intefereces, etc., there always exist pulse interferences or measurement information interruptions in the satellite receiver, which make nonstationary measurement process. The traditional Kalman Filter (KF) can tackle the state estimation problem under Gaussian white noise, but its performance will be significantly reduced under non-Gaussian noises. In order to deal with the non-Gaussian conditions in the actual missile-borne SINS/GNSS integrated navigation systems, a Maximum Versoria Criterion Extended Kalman Filter (MVC-EKF) algorithm is proposed based on the MVC and the idea of M-estimation, which assigns a smaller weight to the anomalous measurements so as to suppress the influence of anomalous measurements on the state estimation while maintaining a relatively low calculation cost. Finally, the integrated navigation simulation experiments prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.
