开发月球车用的月表环境的地面模拟方法研究

当前中国正在进行自己的探月工程,预计将会发射月球车登陆月球表面.在研制月球探测器过程中,为了在地面验证月球车的可靠性和各项功能(如着陆冲击、自主巡航和遥控),必须建立相应的地面试验中心.根据目前对月球表面环境的认识和现有的仿真技术,文章提出了实现月表综合环境模拟的试验设施的设想.由于月球表面环境非常恶劣并且月表的地形也非常复杂,文章提出了一种组合式月表环境模拟器的设想.主要部分是模拟各种月貌特征(如陨石坑、斜坡、沟壑等)的可移动单元.每个单元是一个用模拟月壤制作的小沙盘,其化学成分、组成颗粒分布和力学性能和已经获取的真实月壤样品相似.根据不同的试验要求,选择相应的单元按照一定的规律组合成为试验场.这样在有限的场地面积内可以按需实现对月表不同地域的地貌特征模拟.同时,可以选择少量单元的组合构成更小规模的试验场,以方便与其它环境模拟器(如落塔,热/真空容器等)联合,实现模拟月表的综合环境.

Planetary Radiation Budgets

The energy state of a planet depends fundamentally on its radiation budget. Measurements made from space over past decades have led to significant revisions of ground-based estimates, both of the reflected fraction (the Bond albedo) of solar radiative flux and of the emitted thermal infrared radiation flux, for the Earth as well as for the other planets. After a brief survey of methods and difficulties in accurately determining planetary radiation budgets, we note contradictions in existing tabulations of global parameters, in particular Bond albedo. For the Earth, such contradictions are unjustified, considering that global and annual means as well as the seasonal cycle of Earth Radiation Budget components have now been determined with high accuracy. The Earth's Bond albedo is close to 0.3. Net storage of energy in the Earth-ocean system is close to zero, with a well-established annual cycle of amplitude close to ±12 Wm⁻². Some contradictions remain for the other terrestrial planets. For the giant planets, modern reduced values of the Bond albedo imply reduced but still significant internal energy generation.     

Height-latitude structure of stationary planetary waves in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere

Daily UK Met Office stratospheric assimilated data for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, accumulated for the period from 2004 to 2012 and pressure range of 1000–0.1 hPa, are used in this paper. The paper presents and thoroughly discusses spatial–temporal distributions of stationary planetary wave (SPW) amplitudes and phases, calculated on the basis of geopotential height, temperature, zonal and meridional wind data for zonal wave numbers 1 and 2 (SPW1 and SPW2). The climatological planetary wave amplitudes and phases are calculated by extracting waves from three types of data: daily, monthly mean and climatological monthly mean. It has been established that magnitude of amplitudes and height-latitude distribution of amplitudes of SPW1 and SPW2 depend on data processing method for all parameters. It has also been established that height-latitude distribution amplitudes and phases significantly differ for geopotential height, temperature, zonal and meridional wind and depend on wave number and hemisphere. However, height-latitude distributions of phases are little different from each other for the used methods of data processing.     

A multi-criteria fusion feature selection algorithm for fault diagnosis of helicopter planetary gear train

Planetary gear train is a prominent component of helicopter transmission system and its health is of great significance for the flight safety of the helicopter. During health condition monitoring, the selection of a fault sensitive feature subset is meaningful for fault diagnosis of helicopter planetary gear train. According to actual situation, this paper proposed a multi-criteria fusion feature selection algorithm (MCFFSA) to identify an optimal feature subset from the high-dimensional original feature space. In MCFFSA, a fault feature set of multiple domains, including time domain, frequency domain and wavelet domain, is first extracted from the raw vibration dataset. Four targeted criteria are then fused by multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) to find Proto-efficient subsets, wherein two criteria for measuring diagnostic performance are assessed by sparse Bayesian extreme learning machine (SBELM). Further, F-measure is adopted to identify the optimal feature subset, which was employed for subsequent fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of MCFFSA is validated through six fault recognition datasets from a real helicopter transmission platform. The experimental results illustrate the superiority of combination of MOEA/D and SBELM in MCFFSA, and comparative analysis demonstrates that the optimal feature subset provided by MCFFSA can achieve a better diagnosis performance than other algorithms.

一种基于概率路线图的月球巡航车路径规划算法

为提高月球巡航车自主探测时的安全,提出一种基于概率路线图(Probabilistic Roadmap, PRM)的改进路径规划算法.该算法基于距离变换地图,改善PRM算法的采样方式,控制采样点远离障碍物,使规划的路径远离障碍物,避免紧贴障碍物前进的危险情况,提高了月球巡航车自主探测过程中的安全程度.为评估路径的安全性,提出安全警戒系数和最小安全警戒系数两个安全指标,并在月球表面仿真环境下对A*,PRM和改进的PRM算法生成的路径进行安全评估.结果表明改进的PRM算法相较于A*算法,安全警戒系数和最小安全警戒系数分别提升了2.20 m,1.00 m;相较于PRM算法,安全警戒系数和最小安全警戒系数分别提升了1.68 m,1.00 m.改进的PRM算法不局限于月球巡航车的路径规划,还可以应用于对路径安全性要求较高的探索机器人和自动驾驶汽车.
