A Thermo-Mechanical Study of Some Epoxy Adhesives Subjected to Combined Dynamic and Static Stresses

The object of the present study was to investigate the effect of superimposed dynamic and static stresses on mechanical and thermal properties of some epoxy adhesives. It was found that combinations of shear creep and torsional oscillations, applied simultaneously to adhesive joints at temperatures within the glassy range of the adhesive, led to strengthening of the joints in shear and to an increase in the glass transition temperature of the adhesive. Similar loading stresses applied at temperatures close to the T_g of the adhesive, led to opposite effects on the above mentioned properties of the joints. The width of the glassy-rubbery transition of the adhesives increased, in the whole range of temperatures used in this study and for all epoxy compositions, as a result of subjecting the joints to superimposed dynamic and static stresses. The broadening of the glass transition was interpreted as a result of the stiffening of polymer network during the combined stressing experiments. A linear relationship was found between the area of endothermal peaks in the first DSC scan of specimens subjected prior to test to superimposed dynamic and static stresses at temperatures below T_g, and the shear strength of the joints. In agreement with this observation and with literature data, a linear relationship was revealed also between the glass transition temperature of the resins (measured in the first DSC scan) and the shear strength of the joints. Based on experimental observations and on some literature information, it was suggested that the strengthening of the joint, as well as the changes in thermal properties of the adhesives, are mainly due to physical processes, such as short-range orientation of network chains and an increase in intermolecular interaction between highly polar sites of the network. The possibility that superimposed stressing led to changes in chemical crosslinking was discussed but it seems that no such reactions occurred.

无人机群目标搜索的主动感知方法

为提升蚁群搜索算法在规模大的栅格环境中对未知目标的搜索效率,提出基于蚁群算法的主动感知搜索框架。该框架通过应用历史环境信息来选择无人机的运动方式,并由无人机运动方式和感知域信息得到新的环境信息,从而实现无人机群的智能自动化搜索功能。新方法计算出一种具有探索偏好的未搜索概率,可使无人机搜索时偏向未搜索程度高的栅格,以此来提高算法的搜索能力。同时,以未搜索概率和信息素作为运动方式决策的依据来建立一种新的运动方式选择机制。该机制不仅考虑了目标可能出现的区域,又可兼顾未知区域,从而可实现无目标先验信息条件下的搜索过程。仿真结果表明,此算法在规模大的栅格环境中,与现有算法相比具有更高的搜索效率,并且得到的目标分布信息将更加全面。     

Robust lane recognition for structured road based on monocular vision

A robust lane detection and tracking system based on monocular vision is presented in this paper.First,the lane detection algorithm can transform raw images into top view images by inverse perspective mapping(IPM),and detect both inner sides of the lane accurately from the top view images.Then the system will turn to lane tracking procedures to extract the lane according to the information of last frame.If it fails to track the lane,lane detection will be triggered again until the true lane is found.In this system,θ-oriented Hough transform is applied to extract candidate lane markers,and a geometrical analysis of the lane candidates is proposed to remove the outliers.Additionally,vanishing point and region of interest(ROI)dynamically planning are used to enhance the accuracy and efficiency.The system was tested under various road conditions,and the result turned out to be robust and reliable.

Influence of groove type on welding-induced residual stress,deformation and width of sensitization region in a SUS304 steel butt welded joint

To join a medium or thick plate weldment with a full penetration, a groove is usually prepared in the space between two sections of metal. Because weld metal needs to be deposited within the groove to form the joint, it is expected that different groove type will require different heat input, which may consequently have influence on welding residual stress and deformation. Generally, different groove corresponds to different bead layout, so it can be foreseen that the groove type has a significant effect on temperature history, shape and size of heat affected zone, and region of sensitization in certain alloys such as austenitic stainless steel. The influences of groove type on residual stress, angular distortion and width of sensitization region in a SUS304 butt-welded joint were investigated by means of numerical simulation and experiment. Based on ABAQUS code, a computational approach with considering thermo-mechanical coupling behaviors, moving heat source, strain hardening and annealing effect was developed to simulate temperature profile, stress field and deformation in multi-pass joint. Welding temperature cycles, residual stress distributions and deformations in V, K and X groove joints were calculated through using the proposed computational procedure. Meanwhile, experiments were carried out to obtain residual stress distributions and angular distortions. Through comparing the numerical results and the measured data, the effectiveness and accuracy of the developed computational approach were verified. The simulation results show that groove type has a significant influence on welding residual stress distribution, angular distortion and width of sensitization region.

Analysis of General Ideal Proportional Navigation Guidance Laws

In this work, the capture region of the general ideal proportional navigation guidance law is analyzed with the following constraints: (i) the target's input acceleration is subject to independent or magnitude saturation, and (ii) the missile's input acceleration is subject to magnitude saturation. In addition to the case of unbounded maneuverability of missile with or without knowing the target acceleration, the necessary and sufficient condition for a bounded maneuvering missile that captures a nonmaneuvering target is also derived. Furthermore, the conditions that result in zero impact velocity are discovered and discussed in some of the cases. The capture regions that cannot be obtained analytically are determined numerically by a powerful classifier, the least square support vector machines. To have the capture region ready for least square support vector machines, all the state variables are transformed into modified polar variables and non‐dimensionalized to reduce the number of independent variables. In order to make the implementation possible in real time, an approximation of the Gaussian radial basis function is adopted to obtain the corresponding nonlinear feature mapping function. Through numerous numerical experiments, the proposed technique is found to be adequate for storing the capture region in an onboard fire control computer.     

Energy-efficient control of nanosatellites during distributed region formation flying

In this paper, we present an energy-efficient method for distributed region formation flying of nanosatellites. The proposed framework consists of two concurrent sub-schemes that include estimation and formation. In the estimation sub-scheme, unlike the existing methods on satellite formation flying, that assume the availability of the reference orbital elements to all followers, here, a distributed estimator is developed so that the follower nanosatellites estimate the position of the leader in its orbital slot. In the formation sub-scheme, we consider a region formation strategy which is an efficient method in dealing with the formation of a large number of nanosatellites. We propose an optimal region following formation method based on the receding horizon control (RHC) using the estimated reference orbital elements. Subsequently, an algorithm is presented to solve the proposed energy-efficient formation flying method. Finally, the simulation result is presented that illustrates the purposed method improves the power consumption for each nanosatellite with respect to the existing non-optimal region formation flying controllers.
