The residual strain generated in grains during the propellant manufacturing process can significantly impact the safety and stability of solid rocket motors. Pressure curing molding technology has been employed as an effective approach to mitigate residual strain. This research paper focuses on deriving a strain prediction function for grains based on continuum mechanics, taking into account the influence of pressure curing molding technology. The accuracy of the prediction function is verified through finite element analysis. The results show that the proposed function accurately predicts strain distribution at critical positions within the grains. And the effects of curing pressure and the elastic modulus of the case on residual strain are analysed. Specifically, for a given material of case, an optimal curing pressure is identified that minimizes residual strain in the grains. Moreover, it is observed that materials with lower hoop elastic modulus, such as composites, tend to require lower optimal curing pressures. The outcomes of this study provide valuable guidance for grain shape design and the selection of optimal curing pressure.

The problem of cooperative interception of the manoeuvring target is investigated in this paper. Firstly, in light of fast fixed-time consensus theory, time-to-go, and undirected topologies, adaptive cooperative guidance along the line-of-sight (LOS) direction is proposed to guarantee impact time synchronization. Next, novel nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) is designed to establish adaptive fixed-time guidance law for steering LOS angular rates to the origin or its small neighbourhood. Without the knowledge of target manoeuvre, the proposed cooperative guidance law can be provided by lateral and longitudinal accelerations of each missile, while more reasonable and rigorous analysis of fixed-time stability is carried out through the Lyapunov theory. Within the specified time, both control tasks of simultaneous attack and the desired impact angles can be completed before the final time of the guidance process. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
本文研究了协同拦截机动目标的问题。首先,根据快速定时共识理论、时间到目标(time-to-go)和无向拓扑,提出了沿视线(LOS)方向的自适应协同制导,以保证撞击时间同步。接着,设计了新颖的非奇异终端滑动模式(NTSM),以建立自适应固定时间制导法,将 LOS 角速率引导至原点或其小邻域。在不知道目标机动的情况下,所提出的协同制导法则可由每枚导弹的横向和纵向加速度提供,同时通过李亚普诺夫理论对固定时间稳定性进行更合理、更严格的分析。在规定时间内,可在制导过程的最后时间之前完成同时攻击和所需撞击角这两项控制任务。最后,数值模拟证明了所提方案的可行性和有效性。

A new type of gust generator generates the airflow oscillation in the wind tunnel through the Coanda effect of the unsteady trailing edge blowing, which has been shown to have strong potential for accurately simulating discrete gusts. It is necessary to study the relationship between the generated gust characteristics and the control parameters of such devices in order to optimize the design performance and improve gust simulation capabilities. By solving the compressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) equations, the computational fluid dynamics model of the subsonic airflow past the gust generator in the wind tunnel was presented. The effects of jet momentum, frequency, and spanwise blowing ratio on gust intensity, shape, and spatial uniformity were investigated. Results indicate that the intensity of gusts is positively correlated with jet momentum and frequency. The gust shape matches well with the normalized jet momentum coefficient curve. However, when the frequency increases to above 10 Hz, the gust shape differs significantly from expectation due to the appearance of reverse wave peaks. In addition, the mechanism of the impact of the sidewall and partial spanwise blowing on gusts was revealed. In the three-dimensional situation, streamwise vortices are formed on the sidewall and at the spanwise position where the blowing stops, respectively. This results in an increase and noticeable nonuniformity in gust amplitude. When the blowing with a 15% spanwise length near the sidewall is turned off, the gust amplitude at the symmetry plane increases by nearly 40% due to the main vortex being closer to the main flow. The result provides a physical explanation for the availability of this operation to reduce gust attenuation.

X-ray communication (XCOM) is an emerging laser communication technique for deep space applications. Traditional link acquisition of laser communications depends significantly on Earth support and shows little autonomy. For XCOM, a pulsar vector observation-based link acquisition method is proposed, which utilizes noncooperative pulsars in deep space as beacons to acquire absolute attitude information and accomplish link acquisition. Firstly, a pulsar vector observation model was established based on the coordinate definition of the X-ray detector and X-ray collimator model. Secondly, a modified “success-failure” pulsar vector search algorithm with two degrees of freedom was proposed to acquire the pulsar vector. With the pulsar vector and the relative attitude obtained from inertial sensors, the link acquisition pointing vector could be determined. Finally, the performance of the proposed method was evaluated using numerical experiments, and factors that influence the performance are discussed and analyzed.

In trajectory-based operations, trajectory negotiation and verification are conducive to using airspace resources fairly, reducing flight delay, and ensuring flight safety. However, most of the current methods are based on route negotiation, making it difficult to accommodate airspace user-initiated trajectory requests and dynamic flight environments. Therefore, this paper develops a framework for trajectory negotiation and verification and describes the trajectory prediction, negotiation, and verification processes based on a four-dimensional trajectory. Secondly, users predict flight trajectories based on aircraft performance and flight plans and submit them as requested flight trajectories to the air traffic management (ATM) system for negotiation in the airspace. Then, a spatiotemporal weighted pattern mining algorithm is proposed, which accurately identifies flight combinations that violate the minimum flight separation constraint from four-dimensional flight trajectories proposed by users, as well as flight combinations with close flight intervals and long flight delays in the airspace. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm efficiently verifies the user-proposed flight trajectory and promptly identifies flight conflicts during the trajectory negotiation and verification processes. The algorithm then analyzes the flight trajectories of aircrafts by applying various constraints based on the specific traffic environment; the flight combinations which satisfy constraints can be identified. Then, based on the results identified by the algorithm, the air traffic management system can negotiate with users to adjust the flight trajectory, so as to reduce flight delay and ensure flight safety.

Multiple hypersonic gliding vehicles’ (HGVs’) formation control problems with obstacle and collision avoidance are investigated in this paper, which is addressed in the stage of entry gliding. The originality of this paper stems from the formation control algorithm where constraints of dynamic pressure, heating rate, total aerodynamic load, control inputs, collision avoidance, obstacle avoidance, and the terminal states are considered simultaneously. The algorithm implements a control framework designed to be of two terms: distributed virtual controller and actual control input solver. The distributed virtual controller is based on distributed model predictive control with synchronous update strategy, where the virtual control signals are derived by the optimization simultaneously at each time step for each HGV under directed communication topology. Subsequently, according to the virtual control signals obtained, a coupled nonlinear equation set is solved to get actual control signals: each HGV’s bank angle together with the angle of attack. The actual control input solver adopts a feasible solution process to calculate the actual control signals while dealing with constraints. Finally, extensive numerical simulations are implemented to unveil the proposed algorithm’s performance and superiority.

Herein, a twin-boom, inverted V-tailed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) featuring a foldable bi-wing configuration is proposed for logistics and transportation applications. We employed the Navier–Stokes solver to numerically simulate steady, incompressible flow conditions. By examining the effects of key design parameters on aerodynamic characteristics and bypass flow fields in a two-dimensional state, we were able to suggest a more optimized foldable wing design. Building on the two-dimensional analysis, we performed aerodynamic assessments of the three-dimensional aircraft geometry. Our results indicated that appropriate wing and gap parameters can significantly enhance lift characteristics, maintaining high lift even during large-angle flights. Specifically, when compared to a mono-wing, the lift coefficient of the bi-wing increased by 27.1% at a 14° angle of attack, demonstrating the effectiveness of our wing-and-gap design. Optimal aerodynamic performance was achieved when the gap distance equalled the chord length in both flow and vertical directions. Further, the right combination of airfoil configuration, wing axes angle, and wingspan can improve flow field aerodynamic characteristics, while also enhancing the wing’s stall capacity. The lift coefficient reached its maximum value at an angle of attack of 15°, which has the potential to reduce takeoff and landing distances, thereby enhancing the UAV’s overall safety.

Accurate evaluation of the critical nodes in the system is essential work for a multiplatform avionics system (MPAS) for resource allocation and other works. However, current evaluation methods are either limited to the aircraft level or the function module level. There is a lack of research on the evaluation using the information of these two levels. In view of this situation, this paper researches the two-level iterative method of evaluating the importance of aircraft function modules. The influence matrix was constructed by using the node access probability calculated by the PageRank algorithm and the function module weight calculated based on centrality. In addition, the importance of aircraft nodes was used to carry out two-level iteration, and finally, the importance of aircraft function modules was obtained. The experimental results show that this method can comprehensively utilize the information on aircraft cooperative network and function module cooperative network, solve the key problems of two-level iterative evaluation, and meet the requirement of evaluating critical nodes in a system.

In this work, an optical-flow-based pose tracking method with long short-term memory for known uncooperative spacecraft is proposed. In combination with the segmentation network, we constrain the optical flow area of the target to cope with harsh lighting conditions and highly textured background. With the introduction of long short-term memory structure, the proposed method can maintain a robust and accurate tracking performance even in a long-term sequence of images. In our experiments, the pose tracking effects in the synthetic images as well as the SwissCube dataset images are tested, respectively. By comparing with the state-of-the-art pose tracking frameworks, we demonstrate the performance of our method and in particular the improvements under complex environments.
