Experimental study on rotary ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling rock

Traditional rotary ultrasonic vibration drilling rock (f_z < 2A) is an effective drilling rock method, but its feed rate is limited by the ultrasonic vibration amplitude, resulting in lower drilling efficiency. In this paper, based on the requirements of drilling efficiency in the asteroid sampling mission, the process method of rotary ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling rock (f_z > 2A) was proposed. The mechanism of ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling rock was analyzed, and the propagation of ultrasonic energy in the process of ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling rock was analyzed. Using the small diameter cemented carbide triangular bit as the drilling tool, the comparative test of ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling and traditional drilling of sandstone, marble, and basalt was carried out. The experimental results showed that there was a specific feed rate range for each type of rock, so that the weight on bit required for ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling was less than that of traditional drilling. With the increase of firmness coefficient of sandstone, marble, and basalt, the ratio of weight on bit to feed rate was increased, and the effective feed rate range of ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling was reduced. The ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling rock (f_z > 2A) was one of the alternative methods for drilling rock on the asteroid surface.     

Fuel-optimal and Energy-optimal guidance schemes for lunar soft landing at a desired location

Two guidance schemes (i) fuel-optimal (ii) energy-optimal to realize soft landing at a desired location on the moon are developed using the optimal control laws. The optimal control laws are obtained by solving a two-point boundary value problem formulated based on Pontryagin’s principle. The guidance laws, adapted from the optimal control laws, are obtained as a function of unknown co-state variables. Differential Transformation (DT) technique is employed to determine the unknown co-states at each time instant of landing trajectory using the information on the current vehicle state, target landing site (loaded on-board apriori) and the time-to-go. The numerical integration of co-state dynamics is avoided due to the DT based approach. The time-to-go, a critical parameter for any guidance scheme, is computed and updated real time using a simple strategy which uses the current and end states. The simple strategy for time-to-go works well even when the shape of the trajectory is nonlinear. Extensive analysis is carried out to evaluate and compare the proposed guidance schemes. Further, the proposed schemes are compared with other popular guidance schemes. The DT based proposed schemes help quantify the landing masses for fuel-optimal and energy-optimal objectives. Other features of the proposed schemes are that they do not assume constant gravity field and independent of reference trajectory.     

Impacts of the PAH size and the radiation intensity on the IR features of illuminated dust within the reflection nebulae

Interstellar dust grains are illuminated in the reflection nebulae. Under conditions of the PAH size and the intensity of the interstellar radiation field, we follow their impact on the PAH aromatic infrared bands using the numerical DustEM code. For a dust model consisting of PAH, amorphous C and amorphous silicate, the PAH size varies in a range from 0.31 to 4.9 nm while the radiation intensity varies by a scale factor from 0.1 to 10⁴. Various trends of the results show the effect of varying both the PAH size and the radiation intensity on the strength of the aromatic mid-IR bands. Through small PAH sizes less than 0.7 nm, the grain temperature distribution of PAHs shows a small variation within 2–3 K at low radiation intensity while it increases to 15 and 8 K for PAH⁰ and PAH⁺, respectively, at higher radiation intensity. In final the variability in these results reveals the evolution of the dust grains under the physical space conditions of the reflection nebulae. In the mid-IR region, the contributions of PAH⁰ and PAH⁺ in the total SED intensity agree with the proportions of these PAHs observed in some reflection nebulae having higher radiation intensities.
