Latest ArticlesThe Model based Definition (MBD) technology digital process verification approach is examined. A process verification system for Design for Manufacture (DFM) is introduced. The system uses PMI, or product and manufacturing information, as a vehicle to express product processing information and dimensional information. In the concept design phase, the auto-matic process testing of the product geometry model is realized, and the viability of the product process is examined, thanks to the development of the model testing tool. The test's outcome is evaluated in accordance with the guidelines for producing liquid rocket engines. The designer can adjust and enhance the sketch of the geometry for the liquid rocket engine in light of the outcome. By using DFM, the process accessibility of the product in the design phase is improved, the design and process changes in the product manufacturing process are reduced, and the product development cycle is shortened.
An improved ACO is proposed for two-dimensional path planning of flight vehicles to solve the problems such as slow convergence speed, easy to fall in stagnation and zigzag path with large angles in basic ACO. First, the improved algorithm optimizes extend method to accelerate convergence. Then, a new pheromone strategy is put forward to increase the utilization of pheromone information while preventing ant from falling into stagnation. At last, local optimization method is introduced to reduce the twists and turns in the searched path. According to the simulation results, the improved ACO has superiority in convergence, iteration number and quality of path. The result proves that the improved algorithm can increase the rate of convergence and path quality compared with basic ACO.
To address the reentry missions with different path constraints and range requirements, a conic based bank angle is designed to enhance the lateral maneuverability, and the predictor-corrector guidance method is used to revise the bank angle profile to satisfy the range requirements. The improved artificial potential field method is used to design the lateral guidance method to satisfy the path constraints. Finally, the guidance parameters are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain the trajectory with the best performance. Simulation results verify that the algorithm can adapt various range requirements and path constraints, and meet the terminal constraints with high accuracy.
Aiming at the rotor axis of PIGA with a zero bias, the transverse acceleration will be coupled to the direction of the input axis to form a cross-coupling error. For the decoupled nonlinear PIGA output expression, the influence of a time-varying input acceleration and the transverse acceleration which is applied to the output are considered, the computing method of PIGA’s output analytic expression relying on the base acceleration of three orthogonal direction and angles of outer axis and rotor shaft as input information is given. On this basis, the model parameters are calibrated by recursive iteration method, in addition to which, the output value compensation method of gyro accelerometer is given. By comparing the error results before and after parameter compensation, the input acceleration error is reduced from ${0.05}\mathrm{\;g}$ to ${0.002}\mathrm{\;g}$, which verifies the effectiveness of the cross coupling error compensation in the output model in the way of improving the measurement accuracy.
In order to study the ability of laser-guided weapons to capture targets in various environments such as sea and land, mathematical models such as flight trajectory, backscatter and target diffuse reflection of laser-guided weapons are established, and whether the guided weapons could capture targets normally are judged by comparing the field of view, backscatter power density and target diffuse reflection power density of laser-guided weapons. Simulation calculations show that under the same conditions, the same laser weapon captures the target later at sea than in the land and other environments, the capture distance is closer, and the backscattering is more serious. Under normal circumstances, the backscattering effect of laser-guided weapons is more serious in the initial 4.4s time period of this projection, and the backscattering effect can be avoided by reducing the outlet energy of the laser irradiator or increasing the distance between the central axis of the laser-guided weapon and the optical path of the laser irradiator to more than 250m.
Iron loss occupies a large proportion of the losses of in-wheel motor for special vehicle, which directly affects the efficiency and temperature rise of the drive system. In order to accurately calculate the iron loss, time-stepping finite element analysis is adopted to analyze the flux density waveforms at different regions of the stator core by taking the in-wheel motor with rated power of ${70}\mathrm{\;{kW}}$ for example. Harmonic analysis of radial and tangential flux density waveforms at different regions of the stator core is carried out. The impact of rotating magnetic field and harmonic component on the stator iron loss is further studied. Three different iron loss calculation methods are adopted to calculate the stator iron loss after the flux density waveforms and harmonic analysis are carried out. The stator iron loss values separated from the efficiency and loss test of the in-wheel motor are compared with the calculation values of different calculation methods. The results show that the calculation method in consideration of the effect of rotating magnetic field and harmonic component has the highest accuracy and its calculation result is the closest to the test result, which verifies the validity of the calculation method.
In order to improve the transpiration cooling efficiency at the stagnation point of the nose cone of the near space vehicle, a wedge-shaped porous nose cone with a gradient porosity layout is proposed and the phase change transpiration cooling is experimentally and numerically investigated under different coolant injection ratio. The experimental results indicate that the gradient porosity layout can effectively improve the cooling efficiency at the stagnation point and the overall temperature uniformity of the porous surface. When the coolant injection ratio $M$ is 0.125%, the cooling efficiency at the stagnation point is increased by 52.4%, and the overall cooling efficiency is increased by 31.7%. The numerical results indicate that the gradient porosity layout increases the coolant mass flux at the leading edge and optimizes coolant distribution by moving the maximum pressure value at the stagnation point downstream. When the coolant injection ratio $M ={0.15}\%$, the coolant mass flux at the stagnation point is increased 76%. In addition, the film formed by the coolant flows out of the porous structure is more uniform.
Along with the surge of radio application, electronic communication in interference environments has become increasingly important. The spectrum sensing technique matters in surmounting the frequency conflict of radio. However, the complex environment hinders the efficient feature extraction from the received spectrum signal and reduces the signal practicality. Recently, the artificial intelligence has been widespread in communication field and crucially influenced the electronic countermeasures. Consequently, based on the deep learning, this work proposes a spectrum sensing method to mix DenseNet and MLP-Mixer. Firstly, the model processes and transforms the spectrum signal data to feature images by Deepinsight Net and the generative adversarial networks renew an image. After obtaining the feature image, aspectrum sensing method integrating DenseNet and MLP-Mixer is used in order to sense the channel occupancy of primary user. Compared with the existing model through ablation experiments, the proposed method improves the detection probability of spectrum sensing better.
As a high-value military target, it is difficult to directly conduct damage research on real aircraft. Designing equivalent targets to replace real targets in damage tests and simulation research are important means for target vulnerability and damage. A target design method is proposed based on the damage characteristics and usage requirements of equivalent objects, with a focus on the "physical and functional" damage equivalent tecnology of aircraft components/subsystems under the threat of fragments. On this basis, a detailed design process for equivalent targets of aircraft is established by comprehensively considering the equivalence of the target's internal and external environment, as well as various factors such as processing and transportation. Then, based on the proposed method, an equivalent design target is carried out for the radar antenna cover of the early-warning-aircraft (EWA), and ground static explosion damage tests are carried out on the equivalent components. After verifying the accuracy of the simulation method with the test results, the ballistic limit velocity and corresponding critical penetration energy thresholds of diffrerent areas for the typical fragment hitting radar antenna cover are determined through impact finite element simulation, the rationality and usability of the proposed equivalent target design method is verifyed. The equivalent target design method proposed can provide support for the inspection and evaluation of the damage ability of air defense weapons and ammunition, the formulation of aircraft target damage standards, and joint combat training activitis.
