A model-free adaptive control is proposed for suboptimal guidance correction and control of a prototypical three-stage satellite carrier. For this sake, we consider a nominal guidance for the model of the system and design the adaptive control for a single-input multi-output system exposed to wind disturbance and measurement noise in the rates of inputs and outputs. Then, subsequent to the guidance correction, a differentiation model of the system is estimated and the control policy is realized under some profitable performance constraints to set the satellite in a desirable circular orbit. The simulation results readily reveal the efficiency of the proposed method and its robustness to uncertainties in the system.

This paper proposes the finite-time state-constrained adaptive fault-tolerant control method for a class of heavy launch vehicles subject to quantized input signals and actuator faults. Firstly, the attitude dynamic model of the heavy launch vehicles suffering from the actuator faults and disturbances is formulated. Secondly, to deal with the completely unknown nonlinear functions, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are introduced for approximation and compensation. Meanwhile, the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is introduced to ensure that all the states in the closed-loop system are bounded and the constraints of the system states are satisfied. As a result, the finite-time state-constrained adaptive fault-tolerant control structure is constructed for the heavy launch vehicles and the semi-globally practical finite-time stability (SGPFS) of the closed-loop control system is proved. Finally, numerical simulation results show the effectiveness and the satisfactory performance of the proposed control algorithm.

In recent years, heat release associated with the detonation phenomenon is considered a very efficient process. Pressure gain combustors are being developed with detonation waves as the driving force. In this scenario, study of detonation waves has become very important. Deflagration-to-Detonation transition (DDT) is one of the ways used to initiate detonation in the combustors. An attempt has been made in this paper to study the DDT in a tube with obstacles using OPENFOAM. A 2-dimensional rectangular section of a tube containing obstacles filled with stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixtures at different initial conditions have been studied. The effect of changes in the length of the tube, number of obstacles, blockage ratios and initial pressure of the reactants on the detonation wave properties have been studied using numerical simulation based on ddtfoam software. The motivation for this study is to design a pre-detonator for a rotating detonation engine (RDE). In order to make it compatible with the RDE and the test facility, it has been proposed to carry out simulations using shorter lengths of the DDT tube. The number of obstacles has been selected appropriately to obtain detonation at shorter lengths of the tube of the order of 1.5 m, 1.0 m & 0.5 m. As the objective has been to obtain design data for the prototype, the finer details of DDT are not being discussed in this paper.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the nonlinear free vibrational characteristics of temperature-dependent two-directional functionally graded porous (TDFGP) cylindrical shells resting on elastic substrates in a thermal environment. To accomplish this, the thermomechanical equations are derived based on the Donnell nonlinear shell theory framework in conjunction with the von Kármán assumption. Two-directional functionally graded porous cylindrical shell models have mechanical properties that can change smoothly and continuously across the length and thickness of the shell. Additionally, it is assumed that the internal porosities in the matrix materials can be dispersed into two independent patterns, either even or uneven porosity distribution. The nonlinearity in free vibration assessed via the nonlinear-to-linear frequency ratio concerning the central deflection amplitude can be gained employing the Galerkin discretization approach and modified Poincare–Lindstedt (P-L) method. The accuracy and effectiveness of the present analytical model are indicated through comparison with existing solutions. Finally, some comprehensive parametric investigations are carried out to gain insight into the impacts of several factors on the nonlinear free vibration characteristics of structures under different conditions. The results of this article demonstrate that parameters such as gradient indices, volume fraction, distribution pattern of porosity, geometric parameters, and ambient temperature rise significantly influence the structure’s nonlinear frequency and free vibration response.
本研究的主要目的是研究在热环境中,位于弹性基底上的与温度相关的双向功能分级多孔(TDFGP)圆柱壳的非线性自由振动特性。为此,基于唐奈非线性壳理论框架和 von Kármán 假设推导出了热力学方程。双向功能分级多孔圆柱壳模型的力学性能可以在整个壳体的长度和厚度上平滑、连续地变化。此外,还假设基体材料的内部孔隙可以分散成两种独立的模式,即均匀或不均匀的孔隙分布。采用 Galerkin 离散化方法和改进的 Poincare-Lindstedt (P-L) 方法,可以通过有关中心偏转振幅的非线性与线性频率比来评估自由振动的非线性。通过与现有解决方案的比较,说明了本分析模型的准确性和有效性。最后,还进行了一些综合参数研究,以深入了解不同条件下若干因素对结构非线性自由振动特性的影响。本文的研究结果表明,梯度指数、体积分数、孔隙率分布模式、几何参数和环境温升等参数对结构的非线性频率和自由振动响应有显著影响。

This paper presents an integrated entry guidance law for hypersonic glide vehicles with no-fly zone constraint. Existing methods that employ predictor-corrector technique and lateral guidance logic for both guidance and avoidance, may have limitations in response time and maneuverability when facing sudden threats, because the guidance cycle is limited by computational efficiency and the bank angle magnitude cannot be adjusted according to the urgency of the avoidance. To overcome these challenges, the proposed method divides the entry process into safe flight stages and no-fly zone avoidance stages, and introduces reinforcement learning to develop an intelligent avoidance strategy for the latter. This division reduces the complexity of the learning problem by restricting the state space and increases the applicability in the presence of multiple no-fly zones. The trained avoidance strategy can directly output continuous bank angle command through a single forward calculation, considering both guidance and avoidance requirements. This enables the full utilization of the vehicle’s maneuverability and supports a high command update frequency to effectively handle threats. Additionally, a network trained via supervised learning is employed to generate reference commands, accelerating the training convergence of reinforcement learning. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed guidance law, highlighting its high computational efficiency, command stability, and robustness. Importantly, the approach offers convenience in extending to multiple no-fly zones and accommodating vast initial state spaces.

This paper presents a single-lever control method based on Power Management System (PMS) and improved Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm for turboprop engines. In this approach, power level angle command, which is the single-lever command, is decoupled into controlled variable commands by PMS, and the controller based on improved TD3 algorithm can ensure that controlled variables track their commands rapidly and accurately. To achieve the optimal conversion relationship between different commands, an offline optimization process is used to design PMS. By optimization, specific fuel consumption and propeller efficiency are both improved after conversion. To deal with strong interactions between different control loops of a turboprop engine, TD3 algorithm which is a deep reinforcement learning algorithm is adopted. Two improvements which are the design method of observation state and prioritized experience replay are made to enhance the tracking accuracy. Simulation results show that improved TD3 algorithm can learn an optimal control policy to guarantee good control effect with fast response and small overshoot. The maximum settling time is less than 0.25s and the maximum overshoot is less than 0.1%. It also has a good robustness performance when the plant exists model uncertainties. The maximum fluctuations are less than 0.05%.

Finite element models are widely used in dynamic analysis of misalignment rotor, but present finite element rotor models cannot simulate the axis characteristics of angle misalignment rotor, which consistent with the one with no misalignment. For achieving the precisely modeling of angle misalignment rotor, a novel modeling method called cross-coordinate substructure modeling method is introduced to establish the model of misalignment rotor, in which different parts of rotor rotate around different axis. Based on this modeling method, the 3D solid models of angle misalignment rotor are established with the help of ANSYS, and the modal characteristics and critical speeds of the misalignment rotor are achieved through modal analysis and harmonic response analysis. The numerical simulation based on Newmark method and experiment tests is carried out to obtain the response characteristics of the rotor model under the combined action of unbalanced force and misalignment load. The results show that the modal “rotation of rotor” appears, and the more amounts of response peaks can be aroused in harmonic response analysis when the rotor occurs angle misalignment. The typical fault characteristics of angle misalignment rotor in the spectrums and orbit diagrams are generally consistent both in the numerical simulation and experiment test. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for simulation and identification of the misalignment fault in rotating machinery system.

In this paper, the optimization problem of orbital transfer strategy for orbital flyby observation missions is studied. A hybrid optimization method is proposed, which is improved to make it more suitable for satellite on-board computing. This new algorithm is designed to solve the initial value sensitivity problem of the sequential quadratic programming algorithm (SQP). It is consisted of the depth-first search algorithm (DFS) and the SQP algorithm and thus has the characteristics of fast convergence, high reliability, and good robustness. With this method, the DFS with a large step size is calculated first, and then the optimal value in the calculation result is used as the initial value of the SQP algorithm for further optimization. This method can obtain the approximate optimal solution available in engineering. The numerical simulation of an orbital transfer optimization problem is set to verify the effectiveness of the new hybrid algorithm. The simulation results compared with the genetic algorithm (GA) show that the proposed hybrid algorithm can effectively reduce the on-board resource occupation when getting similar results and thus can meet the needs of satellite on-board computing.

Regarding the regional area target collaborative tracking problem widely existing in intelligent scenarios, this paper built a distributed UAV swarm framework inspired by natural intelligence to heighten intricate missions’ efficiency. Also, a standoff collaboratively continuous tracking strategy was proposed based on a lateral guidance law with an improved Reference Point Guidance (RPG) and a longitudinal guidance law with an improved phase collaboration. Under an uncertain environment, this framework used an improved bat algorithm (IBA) to optimize the speed allocation of the UAV swarm’s online control strategy with information consensus estimation. Compared with a case without the designed transformation, statistically, the results demonstrate that the framework operates efficiently and robustly in phase error convergence, swarm flight distance, and fuel consumption, where a dynamic target exists.

Due to the inherent geometric restrictions of a micro gas turbine (MGT) mixed flow compressor design, diffuser design has a major impact on compressor performance and operating range. Vaned diffusers are often preferred to vaneless diffusers in MGT compressor designs due to better efficiency and pressure recovery, albeit at the expense of operating range. A numeric investigation of the effect of a tandem vane crossover diffuser configuration on the performance and operating range of a MGT mixed flow compressor stage is presented. Three baseline test compressors, covering a wide range of design speeds, mass flow rates and meridional exit angles, are designed with a single vane crossover diffuser. For each of the three baseline compressors, the crossover diffuser design is modified to feature various tandem vane configurations. The tangential shift of the second vane row relative to the first row is evaluated. Additionally, relative first and second vane row lengths are evaluated. The performance (efficiency and pressure ratio) and operating range of the modified diffuser configurations are compared to the baseline configurations. It is shown that a 75% second vane row tangential shift configuration displays the best overall performance, regardless of the relative vane length. It is further shown that an appropriate vane length depends on the design requirement.

Vaned diffusers are often preferred to vaneless diffusers in MGT compressor designs due to better efficiency and pressure recovery, albeit at the expense of operating range. A numeric investigation of the effect of a tandem vane crossover diffuser configuration on the performance and operating range of a MGT mixed flow compressor stage is presented. Three baseline test compressors, covering a wide range of design speeds, mass flow rates and meridional exit angles, are designed with a single vane crossover diffuser. For each of the three baseline compressors, the crossover diffuser design is modified to feature various tandem vane configurations. The tangential shift of the second vane row relative to the first row is evaluated. Additionally, relative first and second vane row lengths are evaluated. The performance (efficiency and pressure ratio) and operating range of the modified diffuser configurations are compared to the baseline configurations.
