The chemical composition of B-supergiant atmospheres

We present new estimates of He/H and CNO abundance ratios in the atmospheres of a selection of B2 supergiants which imply that the C/N ratio in the most luminous Ia stars is close to its equilibrium value. The is also some evidence for more moderate CN abundance anomalies in the B2Ib and B2II supergiants. These results, together with other recent work, imply that the effects of the CNO bi-cycle on the composition of B-supergiant atmospheres are most severe for the more luminous and massive stars. Furthermore, studies of LMC B-supergiants indicate that a small fraction of these very luminous stars are nitrogen weak. This picture is qualitatively consistent with theoretical predictions whenever massive stars perform blue loops in the HR diagram, returning from a red supergiant phase to become core helium burning blue supergiants with atmospheres contaminated by nuclear processed material.     

The extravehicular mobility unit: A review of environment, requirements, and design changes in the US spacesuit

Requirements are rarely static, and are ever more likely to evolve as the development time of a system stretches out and its service life increases. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of requirements for the US spacesuit, the extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), as a case study to highlight the need for flexibility in system design. We explore one fundamental environmental change, using the Space Shuttle EMU aboard the International Space Station, and the resulting EMU requirement and design changes. The EMU, like other complex systems, faces considerable uncertainty during its service life. Changes in the technical, political, or economic environment cause changes in requirements, which in turn necessitate design modifications or upgrades. We make the case that flexibility is a key attribute that needs to be embedded in the design of long-lived, complex systems to enable them to efficiently meet the inevitability of changing requirements after they have been fielded.     

基于启发式自适应离散差分进化算法的多UCAV协同干扰空战决策

 研究了多无人作战飞机(UCAV)协同干扰空战决策(MUCJAD)问题,在干扰效能评估指标量化方法的基础上为该问题建立了优化模型。为有效求解该模型,提出一种启发式自适应离散差分进化(H-SDDE)算法。在H-SDDE算法中,设计了包含4种候选解产生策略的候选策略池,引入了候选解产生策略及其参数的自适应学习过程。此外,结合实际问题为算法设计了基于威胁度的扩展型整数编码方案、基于威胁度的启发式个体调整操作、基于约束满足的个体修复操作。在12个测试实例上进行了仿真验证,结果表明,H-SDDE算法与其他同类算法相比在求解质量和求解速度上具有明显优势,能够更好地发挥多UCAV协同干扰整体效果。     

A novel approach of testability modeling and analysis for PHM systems based on failure evolution mechanism

Prognostics and health management (PHM) significantly improves system availability and reliability, and reduces the cost of system operations. Design for testability (DFT) developed concurrently with system design is an important way to improve PHM capability. Testability modeling and analysis are the foundation of DFT. This paper proposes a novel approach of testability modeling and analysis based on failure evolution mechanisms. At the component level, the fault progression-related information of each unit under test (UUT) in a system is obtained by means of failure modes, evolution mechanisms, effects and criticality analysis (FMEMECA), and then the failure-symptom dependency can be generated. At the system level, the dynamic attributes of UUTs are assigned by using the bond graph methodology, and then the symptom-test dependency can be obtained by means of the functional flow method. Based on the failure-symptom and symptom-test dependencies, testability analysis for PHM systems can be realized. A shunt motor is used to verify the application of the approach proposed in this paper. Experimental results show that this approach is able to be applied to testability modeling and analysis for PHM systems very well, and the analysis results can provide a guide for engineers to design for testability in order to improve PHM performance.     

航路网络交叉点布局规划的差分进化算法

航路交叉点布局问题（CrossingWaypointLocationProblem,CWLP）是航路网络设计的决定性问题,CWLP模型具有不可导、不可微等特性,因此不能用传统的算法对其进行处理。差分进化算法能够较好地解决航路汇聚点布局问题,在处理模型约束条件时,综合考虑各交叉点冲突约束违反程度和所有交叉点冲突数之和,将前者作为个体优劣的判断标准之一,后者转化成个体适应度,即个体的另一目标函数,求解过程中选用了动态的标准差分进化机制以确保算法的收敛性。将算法应用到北京飞行情报区航路网规划模型中,验证了算法的有效性。     

前置隔板对圆柱绕流影响的实验分析

对经典的圆柱绕流模型,运用前置隔板对流场进行控制。利用粒子图像测速(PIV)方法在自循环水槽中研究了雷诺数为1 800时,柔性和刚性2种不同刚度的前置隔板对圆柱绕流的影响。研究发现:柔性隔板自由端的弯曲增加了对流场的额外扰动,并且柔性隔板弯曲变形会诱导产生脱落涡,导致尾迹流场的主频发生变化。在圆柱下游流场,无隔板工况与柔性隔板工况的回流区长度相当,刚性隔板工况的回流区相较之下则更长。结果显示:前置隔板还能在一定程度上减小圆柱绕流的阻力。      

Dynamical evolution of high area-to-mass ratio objects in Molniya orbits

For special demands, some notable orbit types have been developed by human, including the Molniya orbits, which have a relatively high eccentricity up to about 0.7, and a period of 12 h. Considering that space debris with high area-to-mass ratio (A/M) has been discovered, such objects may also exist in Molniya orbits due to spacecraft and upper stages fragmentation events. However, there are not sufficient studies of the complex dynamical phenomena of such orbits. These studies can enrich the knowledge about the long-term evolution of these orbits, be helpful to propose uncatalogued objects observation and identification, and also set the protected region as well as active debris removal. In this paper, the characteristics of 2:1 resonance of Molniya satellite orbits are studied. A large set of numerical simulations, including all the relevant perturbations, is carried out to further investigate the main characteristics, and special attention is payed to the dynamical evolution of objects with high A/M, particularly affected by the direct solar radiation pressure. The long-term dynamical evolution of orbital elements, as well as the dependency of lifetime on the A/M value, is discussed.

Hybrid simulations of the O ion escape from Venus: Influence of the solar wind density and the IMF x component

As an initial effort to study the evolution of the Venus atmosphere, the influence of the solar wind density and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) x component (the x-axis points from Venus towards the Sun) on the O⁺ ion escape rate from Venus is investigated using a three-dimensional quasi-neutral hybrid (HYB-Venus) model. The HYB-Venus model is first applied to a case of the high-density (100 cm⁻³) solar wind interaction with Venus selected from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter observations to demonstrate its capability for the study. Two sets of simulations with a wide range of solar wind densities and different IMF x components are then performed. It is found that the O⁺ ion escape rate increases with increasing solar wind density. The O⁺ ion escape rate saturates when the solar wind density becomes high (above 100 cm⁻³). The results also suggest that the IMF x component enhances the O⁺ ion escape rate, given a fixed IMF component perpendicular to the x-axis. Finally, the results imply a higher ion loss rate for early-Venus, when solar conditions were dramatically different.
