This framework integrates development costs as an equally important factor alongside weight and aerodynamic disciplines within the UAV design process. The OpenMDAO paradigm is employed to facilitate a standalone design and optimization application. A comprehensive multidisciplinary analysis module is developed, encompassing initial geometrical sizing, weight analysis, aerodynamic performance evaluation, and estimation models for development costs. The effectiveness of the framework is validated through a low-cost, high-performance UAV case study. The results demonstrate that neglecting the influence of UAV development costs would be imprudent. By appropriately adjusting design parameters using the optimization algorithm, significant reductions in UAV development costs can be achieved with minimal performance losses.展开更多

During the wing morphing phase, the aircraft＇s dynamic response will be governed by time-varying aerodynamic forces and moments. Nonlinear dynamic equations of the morphing aircraft are linearized by using Jacobian linearization approach, and a linear parameter varying （LPV） model of the morphing aircraft in wing folding is obtained. A multi-loop controller for the morphing aircraft is formulated to guarantee stability for the wing shape transition process. The proposed controller uses a set of inner-loop gains to provide stability using classical techniques, whereas a gain self-scheduled H 1 outer-loop controller is devised to guarantee a specific level of robust stability and performance for the time-varying dynamics. The closed-loop simulations show that speed and altitude vary slightly during the whole wing folding process, and they converge rapidly after the process ends. This proves that the gain self-scheduled H 1 robust controller can guarantee a satisfactory dynamic performance for the morphing aircraft during the whole wing shape transition process. Finally, the flight control system＇s robustness for the wing folding process is verified according to uncertainties of the aerodynamic parameters in the nonlinear model.展开更多

For laser additive manufacturing, aluminum-based materials are regarded as difficult-to-fabricate materials be- cause of their special physical properties, including low density, low laser absorption, high thermal conductivity, and ease of oxidation. Currently, LPBF-formed structural materials require high densification, fine grains, high specific strength, high ductility, and optimized physical or chemical properties. Therefore, comprehensive un- derstanding of the fabrication and performance of Al-based materials processed by LPBF is of significant value. This paper covers emerging research on aluminum-based materials using LPBF, providing an overall view of the basic scientific mechanisms behind manufacturing. The state-of-the-art researches of aluminum-based materials for LPBF formability as well as the microstructures, properties and corresponding metallurgical mechanisms are reviewed. The mechanisms of some of the main defects (pores, cracks, balling, and oxide inclusions) and control measures are also discussed. A summary and outlook for the further development of Al-based materials for LPBF are addressed.展开更多

Biomimicking from nature may offer the potential for lightweight design. In the viewpoint ofrnechanics properties, the culm of bamboo comprises of two types of cells and the number of the vascular bundles takes a gradient of distribution. A three-point bending test was carried out to measure the elastic modulus. Results show that the elastic modulus of bamboo decreases gradually from the periphery towards the centre. Based on the structural characteristics of bamboo, a bionic cylindrical structure was designed to mimic the gradient distribution of vascular bundles and parenchyma cells. The buckling resistance of the bionic structure was compared with that of a traditional shell of equal mass under axial pressure by finite element simulations. Results show that the load-bearing capacity of bionic shell is increased by 124.8%. The buckling mode of bionic structure is global buckling while that of the conventional shell is local buckling.展开更多

There are two improvements for the modified particle swarm method compared with the standard particle swarm method. First, the particle velocity is represented by the combination of the particle position and the variation of position, which makes the particle swarm algorithm a second-order precision method with respect to the particle po- sition. Second, for the sake of adding diversity to the swarm and enlarging the parameter searching domain to improve the global convergence performance of the algorithm, an oscillating term is introduced to the update formula of the particle velocity. At last, tak- ing two airfoils as examples, the aerodynamic shapes are optimized on this optimization platform. It is shown from the optimization results that the aerodynamic characteristic of the airfoils is greatly improved in a broad design range.展开更多

The most important one we do in the paper is that we construct a four-region model with σθ≠0 in damage region,which is different from what Satapathy did before and is more reasonable. By adopting this model,different constitutive equations were constructed by different method-elastic mechanics in elastic region,damage mechanics and fracture mechanics in damage region,and macro-micro mechanics theory in plastic region. Then using Durban's self-similarity assumption,the control differential equations with boundary conditions were established,and the static numerical solution of stress field and displacement field in the three different regions of elastic,damage and plastic area were discussed respectively. Results showed that this four-region model can describe precisely the mechanic characteristics of pressure sensitive mediums under initial pressure.展开更多
文摘The paper establishes a multidisciplinary design and optimization framework that aims at minimizing Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) development costs. This framework integrates development costs as an equally important factor alongside weight and aerodynamic disciplines within the UAV design process. The OpenMDAO paradigm is employed to facilitate a standalone design and optimization application. A comprehensive multidisciplinary analysis module is developed, encompassing initial geometrical sizing, weight analysis, aerodynamic performance evaluation, and estimation models for development costs. The effectiveness of the framework is validated through a low-cost, high-performance UAV case study. The results demonstrate that neglecting the influence of UAV development costs would be imprudent. By appropriately adjusting design parameters using the optimization algorithm, significant reductions in UAV development costs can be achieved with minimal performance losses.

文摘The existing problems in toughened resin evaluation technology, particularly the disadvantage of the toughened resin identification method by CAI, is pointed out based on the point of view of composite structure design. It is proposed to evaluate the toughness of composites by both damage resistance and damage tolerance. Seven different toughness composites are investigated by impact and quasi\|static indentation tests. Based on experimental data analysis, the parameter that is most sensitive to the damage resistance is determined as the damage parameter. The parameter to evaluate the damage resistance and its measuring method are proposed.

文摘Limit Cycle Oscillation(LCO)quenching of a supercritical airfoil(NLR 7301)considering freeplay is investigated in transonic viscous flow.Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)based on Navier-Stokes equations is implemented to calculate transonic aerodynamic forces.A loosely coupled scheme with steady CFD and an efficient graphic method are developed to obtain the aerodynamic preload.LCO quenching phenomenon is observed from the nonlinear dynamic aeroelastic response obtained by using time marching approach.As the airspeed increases,LCO appears then quenches,forming the first LCO branch.Following the quenching region,LCO occurs again and sustains until the divergence of the response,forming the second LCO branch.The quenching of LCOs was addressed physically based on the aerodynamic preload and the linear flutter characteristic.An“island”of stable region is observed in the flutter boundary,i.e.the flutter speed versus the mean Angle of Attack(AoA).The LCO quenches when the aerodynamic preload crosses this stable region with the increasing of airspeed.The LCO quenching of this model in transonic flow is essentially induced by destabilizing effect from aerodynamic preload,since the flutter speed is sensitive to AoA due to aerodynamic nonlinearity.
文摘A robust airfoil optimization platform is constructed based on the modified particle swarm optimization method （i.e., the second-order oscillating particle swarm method）, which consists of an efficient optimization algorithm, a precise aerodynamic analysis program, a high accuracy surrogate model, and a classical airfoil parametric method. There are two improvements for the modified particle swarm method compared with the standard particle swarm method. First, the particle velocity is represented by the combination of the particle position and the variation of position, which makes the particle swarm algorithm a second-order precision method with respect to the particle po- sition. Second, for the sake of adding diversity to the swarm and enlarging the parameter searching domain to improve the global convergence performance of the algorithm, an oscillating term is introduced to the update formula of the particle velocity. At last, tak- ing two airfoils as examples, the aerodynamic shapes are optimized on this optimization platform. It is shown from the optimization results that the aerodynamic characteristic of the airfoils is greatly improved in a broad design range.
文摘The electrospray thruster is becoming popular in space propulsion due to its low power and high specific impulse.Before this work,an electrospray thruster based on a porous emitter was developed.In order to achieve larger and more stable thrust,the thruster was redesigned,and the influence of the space between strips on thrust was studied.Four types of emitter were tested,and they had 1,3,4 and 14 emitter-strips on the emission surface of the same size respectively.According to the experimental results,the maximum extraction voltage and emission current of the four thrusters are different under stable operational conditions.The measured stable emission currents and extraction voltages were-500μA/-5000 V,-1570μA/-3800 V,-1200μA/-3800 V,and-650μA/-4500 V,respectively.Increasing the number of strips may not result in the emission current increasing,but changing the stable operational range of the emission current per strip and the extraction voltage.The maximum stable operational extraction voltages of 3 and 4 emitter-strips are lower than those of 1 and 14 emitter-strips,but the emission currents are higher than those of 1 and 14 emitter-strips.Time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the mass distribution and obtain the performance of the thruster in the case of thrusters with 1 and 3 emitter-strips.Both of their plumes were composed of very small ion cluster(the pure-ion regime),and their thrusts were 80.1μN,219.2μN with specific impulses of 5774 s,5047 s,respectively.

文摘Spherical cavity expansion model is often used to study the mechanic characteristics of pressure sensitive mediums. The most important one we do in the paper is that we construct a four-region model with σθ≠0 in damage region,which is different from what Satapathy did before and is more reasonable. By adopting this model,different constitutive equations were constructed by different method-elastic mechanics in elastic region,damage mechanics and fracture mechanics in damage region,and macro-micro mechanics theory in plastic region. Then using Durban's self-similarity assumption,the control differential equations with boundary conditions were established,and the static numerical solution of stress field and displacement field in the three different regions of elastic,damage and plastic area were discussed respectively. Results showed that this four-region model can describe precisely the mechanic characteristics of pressure sensitive mediums under initial pressure.
