偏置抛物面卫星天线反射器固化变形分析

偏置抛物面卫星天线反射器由碳纤维预浸料铺制而成，在固化过程中通常会出现热变形、固化收缩变形及机械变形等形变，且过大的变形会导致反射器反射信号产生偏差。为了有效预测天线反射器在热压罐固化过程中的变形，本文采用线性粘弹性本构模型表征纤维增强复合材料在固化过程中的应力-应变关系。采用顺序热-力耦合分析法，对天线反射器内部温度场、固化度场及位移场的分布进行建模，并对铺层结构及降温速率对天线反射器变形的影响开展研究。结果表明：相较于纯0°铺层结构，正交和准各向同性铺层天线反射器z向变形量减小了51%以上，且降低降温速率有助于提高天线反射器的固化型面变形。     

Integrated passage design based on extended free-form deformation and adjoint optimization

Inspired by the three-dimensional design of flow passages in turbomachinery, this study proposes the concept of integrated passage design. The capability of adjoint method for efficient optimization and the flexibility of the parameterization method based on extended free-form deformation have been considered to develop a feasible approach to design an integrated passage. This concept was applied to redesign a typical transonic fan, Rotor 67, and the results were analyzed by CFX. It is shown that the passage was adequately adjusted in all three dimensions and reduced the strength of shock wave and wake-induced flow. In particular, the secondary flow was appropriately reorganized and the corner separation was well controlled in the end wall region, leading to significant improvements in adiabatic efficiency and diffusion.     

Ultrasonic constitutive model and its application in ultrasonic vibration-assisted milling Ti3Al intermetallics

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted technology is widely utilized in the performance research and manufacturing process of metallic materials owing to its advantages of introducing highfrequency acoustic systems.

Study on the Deformation Behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn Wrought Magnesium Alloys by Visco-plastic Self-consistent Modeling

The plastic deformation behavior of new Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn magnesium alloys gains great necessity to clarify and understand the mechanism deeply. In the present work， the tensile mechanical property test and visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model are used to investigate the activities of deformation modes of VW84M and VW94M magnesium alloys during the tensile deformation. The results show that the mechanical properties of the above extruded alloys are similar but VW94M has higher strength than VW84M after the same aging process. Compared with the extruded alloys， the as-aged alloys have significantly higher activation of pyramidal slip at the later stage of plastic deformation. In addition， the as-aged VW94M alloy with higher strength has the largest activity of pyramidal slip. In summary， the addition of Gd increases the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) in each slip system of VW94M， while the increase in the strength and the decrease in the elongation of as-aged alloys are associated with the significant activation of pyramidal slip.     

Evolution mechanism of lamellar α and interlayered β during hot compression of TC21 titanium alloy with a widmanstätten structure

TC21 titanium alloy, as an important metal to fabricate the aircraft structural components, has attracted great attentions recently. A TC21 titanium alloy with widmanstätten structure was isothermally compressed. Based on the microstructure observation, the evolution of initial β grain, Grain Boundary α phase (α_GB), lamellar α and interlayered β was systematically investigated. The results showed that, with the increasing of height reduction, the α_GB underwent an evolution process from bending/kinking to breaking inducing the corresponding blurring of initial coarse β grain outline. Meanwhile, a significant phase transformation from α to β took place at the terminations of broken α_GB. The evolution of lamellar α and interlayered β in the colony was closely related to their deformation compatibility. In the α colony, the interlayered β experienced a larger deformation amount than lamellar α. The higher distortion energy promoted the occurrence of Dynamic Recovery (DRV) and Dynamic Recrystallization (DRX) to generate many Low Angle Boundaries (LABs) and High Angle Boundaries (HABs) in interlayered β, which induced an apparent grain refinement of β phase. On the contrary, the lower distortion energy and low deformation temperature suppressed the occurrence of DRV/DRX and restrained the globularization of lamellar α. Furthermore, the microstructure observation clearly revealed that the shearing separation mechanism dominated the evolution of the α phase from lamellar to short bar-like morphology.     

An alternative method to reduce process-induced deformation of CFRP by introducing prestresses

Process-induced deformation is an important limiting factor to the application of high performance composite structures. An alternative method to reduce process-induced deformation is proposed by introducing prestress to a single layer or part of the layers instead of all the applicable layers. In this method, the necessary prestress level that applied to the single layer was in the reasonable range. Two kinds of unsymmetric laminates are manufactured at varying prestress levels. The experimental results described that the curing deformation is changed rapidly with the growing prestress level and flipped after a certain prestress level. Moreover, there is a good linear relationship between prestress level and final curing deformation, which gives a convenient way to calculate the prestress level that can fully counteract the curing deformation. The numerical model to predict the curing deformation was built. A good agreement between the numerical and the experimental results shows the effectiveness of the numerical model. To predict the prestress level that can fully counteract the curing deformation, an analytical model is also proposed. Theoretically, the prestress method can fully counteract the curing deformation of the specimens, while the experimental results show that the prestressing layer reduces more than 80% of the curing deformation.     

Solar sail attitude control using shape variation of booms

Active attitude control of solar sails is required to control the direction of the force generated by Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP). It is desirable to control the attitude through propellant-free means. This paper proposes a new method for attitude control of solar sails: A boom consisting of “smart” structural material can be deformed by the piezoelectric actuator, and Solar Radiation Pressure torque will be generated due to shape variation of sail membrane caused by boom deformation. The method has the advantages of simple structure, small disturbance and small additional load, and is not limited by the size of the solar sail. The case of rendezvous with the Asteroid 2000 SG344 is used to verify the attitude control around the pitch and yaw axes.
