Educational purposes have been the trigger for CubeSat development. Most of this class of nano-satellites where initially developed as hands-on projects at universities and institutes, mostly being of very simple construction and complexity. However, in the most recent years low cost sensors and mobile technology started to be translated into nano-satellites, and this expanded their possible mission profiles, prompting the attention of companies and government agencies. Today, many tasks that previously where only possible to be developed within a multi-million dollar/euro framework can be accomplished by nano-satellites, at a tiny fraction of their cost. One of the major weaknesses of these devices is the low level of available power onboard, and the lack of efficient state-of-the-art propulsion systems. The present paper provides a throughout discussion on the diverse propulsion technologies used for CubeSat and other micro-satellite systems. If only attitude correction is requested then, present day technologies can be readily used. However, for orbit change or interplanetary nano-spacecraft propulsion, present day technologies are not able to provide the necessary performance under the restricted power budget on-board. New routes are herein proposed for the development of thrusters for nano-satellites and other comparable size spacecrafts.

Several critical aspects control the successful reentry of vehicles on the earth’s atmosphere: continuous communication, GPS signal reception and real-time telemetry. However, there are some common issues that can interfere with the instruments operation, the most typical being the radio blackout, in which the plasma layer frequency modifies the electromagnetic waves in a way that makes communications to and from the spacecraft impossible. So far, there have been several proposed techniques to mitigate radio blackout, one of which is the usage of electromagnetic fields. Previous studies have proven the effectiveness of the usage of an electric and/or magnetic fields to manipulate plasma layers. Experiments on plasma layer manipulation during hypersonic flight regime are extremely costly. Therefore, there has been a continuous interest in the development of cheaper solutions, that can guarantee a reliable degree of accuracy, such as the development of complex multiphysics computational models. These models are becoming increasingly realistic and accurate, as more and more physical aspects can be considered, greatly increasing the accuracy and range of models. However, those models need to be validated with recourse to experimental data. In this paper we propose a model that uses a Low Magnetic Reynolds number, and accounts for five common neutral species: N2, O2, NO, N and O, along with several of their respective reactions: dissociation of molecular nitrogen and oxygen, and exchange. The model chemistry is then validated based on experimental data gathered by several authors.
几个关键方面控制着飞行器成功重返地球大气层:连续通信、GPS信号接收和实时遥测。然而,有一些常见的问题会干扰仪器的操作,最典型的是无线电中断,在这种情况下,等离子体层的频率改变了电磁波,使与航天器的通信变得不可能。到目前为止,已经提出了几种缓解无线电停电的技术,其中之一是使用电磁场。以前的研究已经证明了使用电场和/或磁场来操纵等离子体层的有效性。高超声速飞行过程中等离子体层操纵的实验非常昂贵。因此,人们一直对开发更便宜的解决方案感兴趣,这些解决方案可以保证可靠的准确性,例如开发复杂的多物理场计算模型。这些模型变得越来越逼真和准确,因为越来越多的物理方面可以考虑,大大提高了模型的准确性和范围。然而,这些模型需要借助实验数据进行验证。在本文中,我们提出了一个使用低磁雷诺数的模型,并考虑了五种常见的中性物质:N2, O2, NO, N和O,以及它们各自的几种反应:分子氮和氧的解离和交换。然后根据几位作者收集的实验数据对模型化学进行验证。

The metamaterial concept was first oriented to electromagnetic field applications and the main objectives were to develop materials with peculiar properties such as negative dielectric constant, negative magnetic permeability and negative refraction index. Gradually, other areas started using parameters that do not exist in the materials found in nature and, classifying them as metamaterials. So, areas such as acoustics, optics and mechanics opened up space for applications of this innovative “material”. Many efforts for an adequate modeling were made searching also for all kinds of possible applications. One example of application in optics is the use of conformal transformation to design devices with new functionalities from non-homogeneous isotropic dielectric media. The mirages created in the desert are the result of these non-homogeneities. These studies are supposed being helpful to develop invisible cloaks using metamaterials. The present work deals with elastic metamaterial application in mechanical engineering. It is well knowing that metamaterials are able to filter harmonic wave propagation and many works present this capability caused by a bandgap that appears in some range of frequency due to the system’s features. However, it is not very clear how the parameters used for the metamaterials design should be defined. The purpose of this work is to propose a methodology to design an optimized metamaterial component to filter the mechanical wave propagation in a finite chain of masses. It is also in the scope of this work to analyze the borders of the bandgap of the studied chain of masses and how the propagated wave is attenuated along this region.

A basic problem of of micromechanics is analysis of one inclusion in the infinite matrix subjected to a homogeneous remote loading. A heterogeneous medium with the bond-based peri-dynamic properties (see Silling, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 2000; 48:175–209) of constituents is considered. At first a volumetric boundary conditions are set up at the external boundary of a final domain obtained from the original infinite domain by truncation. An alternative sort of truncation method is periodisation method when a unite cell (UC) size is increased while the inclusion size is fixed. In the second approach, the displacement field is decomposed as linear displacement corresponding to the homogeneous loading of the infinite homogeneous medium and a perturbation field introduced by one inclusion. This perturbation field is found by the Green function technique as well as by the iteration method for entirely infinite sample with an initial approximation given by a driving term which has a compact support. The methods are demonstrated by numerical examples for 1D case. A convergence of numerical results for the peristatic composite bar to the corresponding exact evaluation for the local elastic theory are shown.
细观力学的一个基本问题是分析无限矩阵中一个包体在均匀远程载荷作用下的问题。具有基于键的非均质介质的动态特性(参见Silling, J. Mech。理论物理。固体2000;48:175-209)的成分被考虑。首先在截断得到的最终域的外边界处设置体积边界条件;另一种截断方法是周期化法,当包涵体大小固定时,单位细胞(UC)的大小增加。在第二种方法中,将位移场分解为无限均匀介质的均匀载荷对应的线性位移和一个包含引入的微扰场。该扰动场是用格林函数技术和完全无限样本的迭代方法求得的,初始近似由具有紧支撑的驱动项给出。通过一维情况下的数值算例对该方法进行了验证。给出了弹性复合杆的数值结果收敛于相应的局部弹性理论的精确计算。
