ArchiveModelling methods of the high-altitude wind uncertainty have significant influence on aerodynamic loads and the overall performance optimization of launch vehicles. The commonly used methods in engineering do not consider the correlation between wind speeds at different altitudes, and the simulated wind samples are inconsistent with actual wind characteristics, therefore disable to accurately predict the aerodynamic loads. A modelling method using $U/V$ wind speed components as non-stationary Gaussian processes about the height is proposed. The statistical distribution parameters of massive actual historical wind samples are analyzed, and the expansion optimal linear estimation (EOLE) method is adopted to generate wind samples with the same distribution as actual wind samples. Results indicate that the proposed method can simulate the actual wind profile more precisely than traditional methods. The simulation program of real launch vehicle is used to calculate the wind loads, and the results show that the wind loads predicted by the proposed method is far more accurate than traditional methods, which is of great significance to improve the launch efficiency and launch probability of launch vehicles.

The expansion and locking process of aircraft folding rudder is a dynamic process of multi-load synthesis. The dynamic process is studied by simulation. The dynamic simulation model is established, considering aerodynamic load and friction action in the whole dynamic process. The influence of different aerodynamic load on dynamic process is analyzed by dynamically simulating the condition of obstruction, no-load and promoting aerodynamic load. By comparing the result of no-load expansion test with the simulation result of no-load condition, the accuracy of the dynamic simulation model is verified. Based on this dynamic simulation model, the friction work under different aerodynamic load condition is identified by using angular acceleration method and angular velocity method respectively from load and energy dimensions. The result of the study shows that the friction torque is affected by aerodynamic load. The friction work increases with the increase of aerodynamic promotion. The angular acceleration method and angular velocity method are both reasonable to identify the friction work. The research provides theoretical reference for engineering design and analysis of aircraft folding rudder.
The continuous reduction of fuel during the rocket launch causes the rocket structure to change continuously, and the natural frequency and modal shape of the structure also change accordingly. Aiming at the inaccuracy of the finite element model, the moment of inertia of the section is used as the correction parameter, and the minimum error between the numerical simulation results and the experimental test results under different states is the objective function, and an optimization model for multi-state model correction is established. The objective function is explicitly processed by sensitivity analysis and first-order Taylor expansion, and the optimal solution of design variables is obtained by sequential linear programming. At the same time, for the multi-state structure, taking the multi-section simply supported beam model as an example, the simply supported beam is tested by the hammering method, and the magnetic attraction weight scheme is designed to simulate the multi-state model. An optimization model is established for the objective function, and the multi-section simply supported beam model is revised to a single-section simply supported beam model after modification, and the ratio of the moment of inertia of the section to the area is met, which verifies the accuracy of the multi-state model modification method.

In response to the multiple ignition requirement of the expander cycle hydrogen-oxygen engine, research on the torch ignition system scheme is conducted, and a relatively reasonable low-pressure torch ignition system scheme is identified. The results show that the mixing ratio of the torch igniter fluctuated greatly when opening the hydrogen main valve, which may cause structural ablation. The scheme of introducing hydrogen from the inlet of the hydrogen turbine and liquid oxygen from the outlet of the liquid oxygen pump has a lower ablation risk, but it has a certain impact on the engine's start-up and steady-state characteristics. The low-pressure torch ignition start-up tests of liquid rocket engine are carried out for the first time in China. The experimental results verify the simulation results, and indicating the feasibility of the scheme.

In the fault-tolerant control of polyphase motors, hysteresis control is generally adopted for the more complex non-sinusoidal fault-tolerant current obtained by multi-constraint solving. Compared with hysteresis control, voltage space vector control has the advantages of low torque ripple and low energy consumption, which is more common in the control of polyphase motors. In order to solve the problem that the non-sinusoidal fault-tolerant current cannot be decoupled directly for voltage space vector control, Fourier transform is introduced and the non-sinusoidal fault-tolerant current is decomposed into fundamental current and third harmonic current to realize the decoupling transformation of the non-sinusoidal fault-tolerant current. Based on this, the decoupling transformation matrix is derived and the correctness of the processing method is verified by simulation analysis. The results show that this method can solve the problem that the non-sinusoidal fault-tolerant current under open fault-tolerant control of polyphase permanent magnet synchronous motor cannot be directly applied to voltage space vector control, so as to reduce the torque ripple and improve the motor current stability.

To analyze the correlation characteristics between visible-infrared spectrum and infrared radiation of photonic crystal films, three kinds of Ge/ZnS photonic crystal films with different visible reflectance and the same infrared emissivity are designed. By simulating the infrared radiation characteristics of photonic crystal structures, the influence of solar illumination and reflection spectrum on the infrared radiation characteristics of the films in vacuum and atmospheric environments is discussed. The simulated results show that the difference of visible reflectance will lead to the discrepancy of surface temperature in the presence of sunlight. For infrared radiation, the high reflection surface will reflect solar radiation at low temperature for $3 \sim {5\mu}\mathrm{m}$ waveband, which has a negative impact on infrared camouflage. For $8 \sim {14\mu}\mathrm{m}$ waveband, when the infrared emissivity is low enough, the infrared radiation emittance of the photonic crystal structures is close. The fabrication of samples and the measurement of reflection spectrum and infrared thermography are carried out. The test results show the consistency with the simulation, and verify the infrared camouflage performance of three films. The research results are helpful to understand the visible-infrared spectrum and infrared radiation correlation characteristics of photonic crystal films, and provide reference for the spectral design and application scheme of visible-infrared camouflage materials compatible with microwave camouflage.
