    To study the working stability of Stepseals in main piston of hydro-pneumatic springs in a wide range of temperature, a fluid dynamic seal model is established based on mechanics of materials and hydrodynamics. The theoretical formula of Stepseals leakage is deduced. The effects of temperature, piston velocity, pre-compression ratio and groove dimensions on leakage are analyzed using film pressure data from finite element models. Results show that the increase in piston velocity, the decrease in pre-compression ratio and the increase in groove dimensions lead to more leakage of Stepseals, and higher temperature also causes more leakage in allowable temperature range.

    An angular motion equation in complex form is established to study the angle of attack and velocity characteristics of spin-stabilized 2D trajectory correction projectile under the effect of fixed canards. The solution of forced motion when the canards spin at a constant rate and the analytical solutions of transient and steady state responses when the canards generate step excitation are both derived. The relationships between the amplitude and phase angle of average deflection angle and the parameters of the fixed canards are presented by deriving the analytical solutions of average velocity deflection angle. The flight stability conditions of spin stabilized 2D trajectory correction projectile under the effect of fixed canards are proposed. The result shows that the projectile should avoid resonance without control, and should limit the maximum increment of angle of attack and the equilibrium angle of attack with control. In addition, the phase angle of average deflection angle has a lead angle ahead of the roll angle of fixed canards. The results provide some references for the studies of flight stability and guidance method of spin-stabilized 2D trajectory correction projectile. Key

    Considering the problem of acceleration tracking of gliding guided projectiles in the case of the uncertaint internal and external disturbances and the time delay of canard deflection command, a nonlinear active disturbance rejection acceleration tracking controller is designed based on the active disturbance rejection control technique. The controller is simple and easy to implement, and requires small amount of calculation and less parameters to be adjusted. The numerically simulated results show that the proposed active disturbance rejection controller can accurately control the output acceleration to track the acceleration command under the conditions of strong disturbance and delayed response of canard, and has better disturbance-resistant capability. Moreover, the canard deflection control command changes slowly from zero, which effectively reduces the control burden of canard system. In addition, the proposed controller has strong adaptability and robustness to the large-scale perturbation of the aerodynamic coefficients and the lag coefficient of canard. Key

    In order to quantify the anti-jamming performance of radio fuze effectively, a similarity-based quantification method of radio fuze anti-jamming performance is proposed based on the definition of the radio fuze target function. The target function is determined through the analysis of the normal target echo signal. The similarity between this target function and output signals of fuze transceiver correlation channel under different types of information jamming are calculated separately. The smaller the similarity under a certain type of information jamming is, the stronger the anti-jamming performance is, and the weaker it is conversely. The proposed quantification method is validated on a continuous wave Doppler fuze for ground-to-ground projectile. Calculation example indicates that this method is objective, reasonable and operability, and can quantitatively evaluate the fuze anti-jamming performance under different types of jamming. Key

    The dynamic responses of projectile-borne electronic devices which are protected by encapsulating material under impact loading are studied through numerical simulation. A LS-DYNA user defined material subroutine is established according to the ZWT nonlinear viscoelastic model which is used for simulating the dynamic response of the encapsulating material in the projectile. The simulations of projectile penetration were performed by adjusting the controllable parameters of ZWT model, such as nonlinear elasticity modulus, low strain rate Maxwell elastic constant, high strain rate Maxwell elastic constant, high strain rate Maxwell relaxation time and material density. Thus the dynamic responses of projectile-borne electronic devices could be obtained from the numerical results. The research results show that the shock absorption and protection effects of the encapsulating materials are better when the values of nonlinear elasticity modulus, low strain rate Maxwell elastic constant, high strain rate Maxwell relaxation time and material density are decreased.

    A velocity calculation model of tandem EFP is proposed by analyzing the motion of elements in double-layer liners. The analysis shows that the difference in EFP axial velocities caused by radial velocity plays an important role in the separation of the tandem EFP. The velocity of EFP formed by outside liner increases with the increase in the curvature of outside liner and the thickness ratio of outside liner to inside liner. On the other hand, the velocity of EFP formed by inside liner decreases with the increase in curvature of outside liner, but increases with the increase in thickness ratio of outside liner to inside liner. The calculated results agree well with experimental data and simulated results by LS-DYNA.Key

    The test method of the intensity of projectiles in batches is an important measure of assessing the quality level of projectiles. In order to seek a new test method, the influences of the structural errors of projectiles on the aerodynamic parameters are analyzed using a fast simulation calculation method based on the technology, combing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and the empirical formula for calculating the aerodynamic parameters of projectiles.

    Accelerometer dimension error leads to navigation velocity error under the carrier angular movement in strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). This is particularly significant in single-axial rotation SINS. In order to improve the navigation accuracy, a new method is presented to realize the calibration of accelerometer dimension errors. A mathematical model of navigation and dimension errors is established by analyzing the mechanism of action of dimension errors in rotary condition. The equivalent errors of accelerometers are introduced into system as extended measurements to improve calibration effect. A calibration route is designed by observability analysis. The dimension error parameters are acquired by filtering. The simulated and experimental results show that the proposed method has higher calibration accuracy and speed compared with the method that uses speed error as observed quantity, and the amount of navigation velocity errors is decreased by about 50%.Key

    The design and controllability of autopilot of surface symmetric aircraft with flaps as actuators are studied. Compared with traditional aircrafts, such an aircraft lacks rudder in its yaw loop while using flaps as actuators. The motion dynamics model of such an aircraft is derived. The differential geometry method is used to analyze the controllability of the nonlinear control system described by this dynamics. This analysis has proved the controllability of the system. Based on the controllability analysis, a nonlinear optimal controller for the nonlinear coupled control system is designed using state-dependent Riccati equation method. Simulated results demonstrate that the roll angle and longitudinal overload can fast track the commands based on the system of weak controllability, and also testify the feasibility of two-channel control of aircraft.

    Superfluid gyroscope is an interferometric gyroscope based on matter wave. One of the key problems that it faces is that its output noise is very high, so its high accuracy measuring capability cannot be exerted. A mathematic model of the gyroscope noise is established based on the analysis of hydrodynamic inductance for pipeline being circled with multiple-turns. Considering the influence of multiple-turns on superfluid gyroscope, the optimal quantity of turns is researched. A method for noise suppression based on multiple-turns circling is presented. Simulated results show that the noise of superfluid gyroscope is decreased gradually with the increase in multiple-turns. Based on common parameters, the noise of superfluid gyroscope with optimal multiple-turn circling is 1/4 of that without turn. The research results show that the measuring accuracy of superfluid gyroscope is increased remarkably by using the proposed method. Key

    In order to improve the precision of the strapdown inertial navigation algorithm based on dual quaternion in the high dynamic environment, a trapezoid digital integral algorithm is applied to compensate the coning and sculling errors, which optimizes the attitude and velocity calculating algorithm and improves the calculating precision of the strapdown inertial navigation algorithm. During a sampling period of gyroscope and accelerometer, the angular rates of gyroscope outputs at previous and current times are both integrated by using the trapezoid digital integral algorithm, and the integral angle increment is used for the coning error compensation. The accelerometer outputs at previous and current times are integated by using the trapezoid digital integral algorithm, and the integral velocity increment and the integral angular increment are used for the sculling error compensation. Through the simulation of multi-group dynamic tracks, it is shown that the improved coning and sculling error compensation algorithms adopting the trapezoid digital integration have higher navigation precision than the traditional rectangular digital integration method when the inputs are angular rate and acceleration. The dynamics of the track is higher, and the performance advantage of the improved algorithm is more obvious. The analysis and comparison of kinematic vehicle experimental results further verify the performance advantage of the proposed improved algorithm.Key

    In order to increase the erection speed of missile,an erection method based on gas-hydraulic hybrid drive is proposed. Mathematical models of high pressure gas vessel,piston accumulator,two-stage hydraulic cylinder,pneumatic throttle valve and hydraulic throttle valve are established. Simulation studies of erection driven by accumulator and gas vessel were completed, and the experiment of gas-hydraulic hybrid drive was accomplished. The results demonstrate that two gas-hydraulic hybrid drive schemes can accomplish erection process within thirty seconds. The control method of accumulator drive scheme is simple. However,the pressure inside the accumulator is high, the volume and mass of accumulator are large, and much energy is consumed in heating liquid. The accumulator is suitable for light load system. Gas and liquid are controlled separately in gas vessel drive scheme. A compound control mode is proposed. In the control mode, the gas is throttled to reduce the pressure in the first erection stage, and the liquid is throttled to complete braking load in the second erection stage. The deviation of experiment and simulation meets the system requirement. The displacement deviation is within 18 mm. The pressure deviation is large in the starting-braking period and variation period of cylinder stages. Cushion structure should be designed to ensure rapid and smooth erection. Key

    A gas-liquid two-phase detonation model with chemical reaction is established in cylindrical coordinates based on the conservation element and solution element method, and the three-dimensional numerical simulation of continuously rotating detonation engine is performed to investigate the propagation characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase continuously rotating detonation wave. The flow field structure and stable propagation of detonation wave at initial formation stage were obtained through the calculation. Meanwhile, the variation of flow field in the radial direction and the thrust performance are analyzed, and the propagation characteristics of two-phase detonation wave are revealed. The simulated results show that the flow field structure in the combustion chamber is consistent with the experimental results in Ref.\[4\]. Because of the convergence of outer wall and the divergence of inner wall, the detonation strength increases along the radial direction of the combustion chamber. The self-sustaining rotating propagation of detonation wave is realized. When the injection pressure and injection temperature are 0.2 MPa and 288.15 K, respectively, and the fuel droplet radius is 25 μm, the average thrust of the gasoline and oxygen-enriched air continuously rotating detonation engine is about 880 N, and the propagation frequency of detonation wave is about 4 390 Hz.

    A pressure measuring system with combining pressure bar with photonic Doppler velocimeter (PDV) is developed for measuring the reflected blast wave pressure in strong electromagnetic interference environment. The axial velocity of PDV probe is eliminated by mounting it in a sliding structure. The velocity curve of bar’s rear surface has many peaks on it due to the multiple reflection of elastic wave in the bar. The velocity of elastic wave is obtained by fitting the takeoff points of the curve. The system response characteristics, effective measuring time and minimum measured pressure are analyzed. The system has been successfully used to measure the reflected blast wave pressure of spherical explosive. The results show that the response of the proposed system is lower than that of strain measuring system, and the minimum measured pressure of the proposed system is better than that of strain measuring system. The maximum pressure of explosion shock wave of spherical explosive is 463.5 MPa with rising edge of 5 μs. This research illustrates that the measuring technique based on pressure bar and PDV is feasible. Key

    In order to investigate the vortex structures of multiphase flows around a porous plate, the flow characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase crossflows were numerically simulated by using the RNG k-ε turbulence modeland the Level Set model. The simulated results are compared with the experimental results. The research results show that the separation point and the horseshoe vortex are formed since the crossflow is blocked by gas jet, which can be observed at the upstream of the jet hole. With the increases in the distance away from the wall, the separation point gradually gets close to the jet exit hole. The crossflow detours the jet and forms two counter-rotating vortices on the lateral edges of jet, and the vortex evolution depends upon the distance away from the wall. The counter-rotating vortex pairs (CVP) are formed in the jet region. The development process of the vortex pairs can be devided into 3 stages: in the near wake-region (i.e., close to the edge of the jet exit hole), the counter-rotating vortex pairs gradually form on the wall, and the increases in the heights of the vortex cores ae well as the distance between the cores lead to the expansion of vortex area. As the flow develops toward downstream, the area of CVP shrinks and even disappears entirely. Further downstream, the CVP appears again on the top of the jet corresponding to the formation of secondary vortex pairs in the near-wall region. Key

    A multi-annealing Gibbs (multi-AG) sampling algorithm is developed to obtain a fast, accurate inversion result of ocean geoacoustic parameters. The proposed algorithm can deal well with huge computation load and high side lobe in multi-dimensional inversion of Bayes matched-field, and also eliminate the effects from the sampling bounds. The sensitivity of geoacoustic parameters to the matched-field processor is analyzed, which contributes to establish the multi-step inversion and annealing scheme. The Gibbs sampling algorithm is used to invert the highest sensitive parameters, which mean value is necessary to the following inversion steps. The inversion of remain parameters can be operated with annealing Gibbs sampling algorithm step by step. The inversion effects of Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs, FGS, and multi-AG algorithms are compared through numerical experiment, and the research shows that multi-AG sampling algorithm can be used to obtain the inversion results with the smallest mean square deviation and the highest precision, while costing the least algorithm computation.

    A novel morphology de-noising method, i.e., adaptive multi-scale morphological analysis algorithm, is proposed based on mathematical morphology for the noise interference introduced in the acquisition process of the firearms' shoulder-force signals. The open-closing and close-opening operations are used to extract the positive and negative impacts from noisy signals. According to the statistical distribution of noises, the results of morphological analysis for different scales are weighted and averaged, and the contradiction between detail preserving and noise filtering is resolved. Blocks signal in Gaussian white noises is studied through simulation, and the de-noising performance of the proposed method is measured by examining the signal noise ratio and mean square error. The results show that the proposed method is able effectively to suppress Gaussian white noises while preserving the features of blocks signal. Key

    The maintenance mode of a multi-state cold standby system with two identical units is studied. According to the states of units, the single repair facility provides preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance, and the corrective maintenance has a higher priority. The residence time in the different performance levels of the operational unit, the preventive maintenance time and the corrective maintenance time are assumed to follow continuous Phase-type distribution, instead of exponential distribution or others typical distributions. The stationary distribution is built by using matrix analytic methods; and several performance measures of interest, such as the system stationary availability, operational time, mean time between system halt, failure arrival rate of repair facility and system failure rate, are obtained. Finally, the validity and applicability of the model are verified by numerical applications; and the influences of the preventive maintenance rate and the corrective maintenance rate on the system reliability measures are demonstrated. The study shows that the modeling of system reliability by Phase-type distribution can ensure the better analytical property of model, improve the description ability of model, and make the model have strong universality under the condition of some assumptions.

The adaptive control law based on projection operator is investigated, and further a kind of adaptive backstepping controller is developed, which can deal with constraint problem of vehicle suspension system. In order to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm, a control simulation framework of vehicle vibration control system is established based on Matlab/Simulink software, and the proposed adaptive backstepping control algorithm is verified on this control simulation framework under the conditions of random and bump roads. The results show that the proposed control approach has better global asymptotic stability for control stability problem of vehicle semi-active suspension systems, and it can not only obviously improve the performance of ride comfort, but also ensure the various required safety performances of vehicle semi-active suspension.Key

    The core task of tank overall design is to get the best overall performance, minimum size and minimum weight without increasing the technical difficulty of parts. Relationship among the three main performances and the general dimensions of main battle tank (MBT) is analyzed by decomposing the specifications of firepower, mobility and protection. An optimization model is established for MBT's firepower, mobility and protection performance based on physical dimension. Restraining the height of tank is the key to coordinate the firepower, mobility and protection performance of tank. Approaches to restrain the height, width and length of tank are proposed.Key

    Currently, the gasbag used in the external combustion type dispersion system in airborne dispenser is made of rubber/Kevlar. In view of its lower bearing strength and poorer oxidation resistance, a metal (304 stainless steel) gasbag is designed. The feasibility of the metal gasbag used in airborne dispenser is verified from two aspects of bearing strength and dispersing performance. A good performance of the metal gasbag is revealed through the static pressure bearing test. Its bearing strength is about 50% higher than that of rubber/Kevlar metal gasbag, while its weight is 45% lighter than that of rubber/Kevlar metal gasbag. And the dispersing experimental results show that the deformation of metal gasbag is symmetrical, which has little effect on bomblets' posture. Key
