Adaptive fault detection and isolation approach for actuator stuck faults in closed-loop systems

This paper addresses the fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems under feedback control. Considered all the possible actuator stuck faults, the closed-loop systems are modeled via multiple models, i.e., fault-free model and faulty models. A fault detection observer and a bank of fault isolation observers are designed by using adaptive estimation techniques. The explicit fault detectability and isolability conditions are derived for determining the class of faults that are detectable and isolable. An F-18 aircraft model is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed FDI approach.     

Fault tolerant H ∞ control for a class of polynomial non-linear discrete-time systems

This paper studies the fault tolerant control (FTC) problem for a class of polynomial nonlinear discrete-time systems with guaranteed H _∞ performance in the presence of actuator faults. The concerned fault is considered as a multi-model of the typical aberration in actuators’ effectiveness. A quadratic-like polynomial Lyapunov function is presented for the H _∞ specification. The main contribution of this paper is that the effect of the nonlinear terms appear in FTC analysis is described as an index in order to transform the controller design into a semi-definite programming (SDP). A numerical example is given to verify the applicability of this new approach for the nonlinear FTC synthesis.     

Robust H ∞ control of uncertain nonlinear switched systems using constructive method

This paper focuses on the problem of robust H _?? control of nonlinear switched systems with parameter uncertainty via the multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs) approach. The uncertain parameters are assumed to be in a known compact set and are allowed to enter the system nonlinearly. Based on the explicit construction of Lyapunov functions, which avoids solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) inequalities, sufficient conditions for the solvability of the robust H _?? control problem of cascade nonlinear switched systems are derived under some switching signal. Then, the result is extended to solve the robust H _?? control problem of nonlinear switched systems in strict feedback form. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed results is illustrated through a simulation example.     

改进FCM在交互式图像分割中的应用

为解决由于自然纹理的干扰而导致的分割图像边缘模糊问题,对模糊C均值聚类算法进行改进并应用于交互式图像分割中。用户通过输入种子点来获得目标和背景的主要特征,并将输入的种子点作为聚类中心点;提出全局空间相似性度量标准并引入Gabor能量滤波器来计算图像中各点到聚类中心的距离;算法首次引入边缘密度概念定义权重因子,根据图像特点,自适应地计算图像中任意一点的纹理特征和颜色特征在特征空间中所占比例,使得到的特征更加准确地描述图像的本质属性。对具有自然纹理背景的图像进行仿真实验,应用两种性能指标来比较本文所提算法与随机游走算法的分割精度。实验结果表明,本文算法分割精度高于模糊聚类和随机游走算法。     

Rapidly solidified titanium alloys for high-temperature applications

The application of rapid solidification technology (RST) to titanium alloy systems is relatively new and became the subject of active research since it was demonstrated that novel titanium alloys of higher temperature capability can be synthesized through new alloy design based on rapid solidification processing. The effects of rapid solidification on the occurrence of metastable phases, microstructures and mechanical properties in binary and ternary titanium alloys are reviewed. In particular, earlier results from RS-Ti alloy research have shown that many different novel dispersoids, some of which are coarsening-resistant at elevated temperatures (600 to 800° C), can be created in the matrix through RST. The alloys containing novel dispersoids also exhibit good creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Further studies on/- and-Ti alloys through RST, in conjunction with the development of various processing technologies for bulk alloy manufacturing, are clearly desirable.     

铸造镍基高温合金的蠕变阻力

在对颗粒强化理论和位错蠕变理论进行回顾、评价基础上，发展了一个位错蠕变阻力模型，认为蠕变阻力是影响铸造镍基高温合金蠕变机制的重要因素。当施加应力足以使位错切入γ′相时，主要蠕变机制是位错切割γ′相过程，蠕变阻力就是位错切入γ′相的临界门槛应力。在低施加应力区，位错只能借助于热激活攀移过程通过γ′相。蠕变阻力包括两部分：第一项是位错攀移临界门槛应力，与施加应力无关；第二项是与施加应力有关的阻力项，代表了其他强化机制的贡献。位错攀移机制蠕变阻力的上限是切割机制门槛应力。在3种铸造镍基高温合金中（定向凝固DZ17G合金，IN100合金和IN738合金），对上述模型进行了验证，理论计算应用了SL强化理论，与实测值符合较好。

Simulation of polycrystalline aluminum tensile test with crystal plasticity finite element method

The crystal plasticity was implemented in the finite element method（FEM） software ABAQUS through the user subroutine UMAT. By means of discretizing the space at the grain level with the Voronoi diagram method, a polycrystal model was built and used in the FEM analysis. The initial orientation of each grain was generated based on the orientation distribution function（ODF）. The developed model was successfully applied in simulation of polycrystalline aluminium samples deformed by the tensile tests. The theoretical strain--stress relation was in good agreement with the experimental result. The simulation results show that the grain size has significant effect on the deformation behavior. The initial plastic deformation usually occurs at grain boundaries, and multiple slip often results in an enhanced local hardening at grain boundaries.     

Reaction process of monazite and bastnaesite mixed rare earth minerals calcined by CaO-NaCl-CaCl2

The decomposition reactions of monazite and bastnaesite mixed rare earth minerals calcined by CaO-NaCl-CaCl2 were studied by means of TG-DTA and XRD. The results show that the process of the minerals decomposed by CaO involves two steps. The first step occurs in the temperature range of 425-540 ℃, and the main reactions are bastnaesite decomposition, i.e. REOF reacts with CaO to produce RE2O3 and CaF2, and Ce2O3 is oxidized to CeO2. During this step, CaCO3 is formed at about 500 ℃. The second step takes place in the temperature range of 610-700 ℃, and the reactions are monazite decomposition into RE2O3, Ca5F（PO4）3 and Ca3（PO4）2 by CaO and CaF2. In this process, the decomposition ability is improved because CaO from CaCO3 decomposing has high chemical activity. In calcining process, the new formed Ca5F（PO4）3 restrains fluorine that can escape in form of gaseous compound. The decomposition ratio of the mixed rare earth minerals reaches 90.8% at 700 ℃.
