      Abstract:The symmetrical design of the aircraft's wings and control surfaces determines the system framework in which the sensors, computers, and actuators of the flight control system are stributed and symmetrically installed on the aircraft, and the even number n-redundant architectural design is adopted. In the practical engineering, the balanced division of labor in the productive relations of redundant parts and the differences in design and manufacturing between different manufacturers would inevitably appear the case of two singular faults such as:‘ two-party opposition' even separation uncertain fault and‘ mutual disapproval’. The criterion of‘ variation memory, redundancy reconstruction and high probability failure of extreme signals’ for singular faults is proposed. In an even redundancy system, the sample median is calculated based on the signal variation at the endpoint of the median interval. The fault criterion is based on the variation consistency between signal and the participating voting signals. The four signals are reconstructed into the‘ second largest, second smallest and reference signal’, which is a reconstructed triple redundancy. The two signals are reconstructed into‘ original two signals + reference signal’, which is a reconstructed triple redundancy as well. The redundancy econstruction criterion is formed by the four signals reconstruction and two signals reconstruction. The study in this paper provide an effective voting monitoring solution for the four-redundant signal‘ 2∶2 uncertain fault, 1∶1∶1∶1 multiple fault’ and the two-redundant signal 1∶1 fault for fault criterion and the redundancy reconstruction criterion. In the case of three-redundant signal 1∶1∶1 multiple fault, according to the following quality between the signal and the median signal, the non-median signal close to the median is normal, and the non-median signal far from the median is faulty.

      Abstract (413) HTML (82) PDF 3.73 M (373) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to study the aerodynamic influence of pitch angle on the contra rotation propeller (CRP) and improve its aerodynamic performance, at the inlet Mach number of 0.453, by adjusting the pitch angle of the aft propeller, a 6×6 contra rotation propeller was numerically calculated, and the variation law of pitch angle on aerodynamic interference between the contra rotation propeller was studied. The Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equation combined with the SST turbulence model is used in the calculation, and the T-Rex high quality mesh generation technique is used. The calculation results show that there is complex aerodynamic interference between the front and aft propellers of contra rotating propeller, the aft propellers can absorb a part of the tangential slip flow energy of the front propellers, and the aerodynamic efficiency is higher than that of the front propellers. The aerodynamic parameters of the front and aft propellers fluctuate 12 times in a rotating cycle. When the pitch angle of the front propellers is 54° or 56°, the efficiency of the front propellers is slightly improved when the pitch angle of the aft propellers is reduced, while the pull coefficient and power coefficient of the aft propellers are significantly increased, and the efficiency of aft propellers increased by 4% and 6.4%. The Ct 、 Cp and n fluctuation amplitude of the aft propeller increases. In addition, in order to offset the torque of the front and aft propellers and improve the overall aerodynamic performance of the contra rotation propeller, the pitch angle of the aft propellers should be appropriately reduced under this working condition.

      Abstract:The effect of point cloud denoising is very important to the subsequent surface fitting and modeling design in 3D scanning process. How to extract feature points quickly and accurately has become a research hotspot. However, the key point of point cloud denoising lies in the detection of singular values and outliers. Therefore, this paper proposes a denoising model with coupled multi-feature point parameters, and discusses the influence of each feature point parameters on the denoising model respectively. At the same time, the swarm intelligence algorithm is used to solve a set of optimal parameter weights to determine the point cloud denoising model, so as to achieve the optimal denoising effect of three-dimensional scattered point clouds. In this paper, through the denoising simulation of Bunny model and the denoising experiment of a certain type of skin, the simulation and experimental results show that the point cloud denoising model proposed in this paper has faster iteration, less time-consuming and better denoising effect than radius filter, statistical filter and improved voxel filter combined with Gaussian filtering algorithm.

      Abstract:With the development of artificial intelligence technology, intelligent aircraft engines have gradually become a hot spot in the field of aviation today. Traditional aero-engine control heavily relies on the engine model, and the theoretical modeling approach based on aerothermodynamic formula introduces modeling error that may degrade the performance of controller. This paper proposes a virtual self-learning approah for aero-engine intelligent controller design. Firstly, a virtual environment is established from the testing data of the aero-engine via LSTM neural network; Secondly, the reinforcement learning algorithm based on TD3 is employed for intelligent controller training in the virtual environment, Finally, the JT9D aero-engine model is utilized for controller performance evaluation. The simulation comparisons between intelligent controller and traditional PID control show that the intelligent controller has remarkable performance due to the less overshoot and shorter setting time.

      Abstract (348) HTML (487) PDF 3.72 M (592) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:A twin-boom UAV with inverted V-tail is proposed and compared with the existing U-tail one by numerical method. Verification and validation were made on the computational model. Longitudinal, lateral, and directional aerodynamic characteristics and static stability of the two configurations are investigated and compared, with different angles of attack and sideslip angles. The results show that the inverted V-tail can reduce the wetted area, increase the lift drag ratio of the whole aircraft by 2.2%, and increase the stall angle of attack of the tail, but the lateral static stability decreases apparently. Flow fields comparison shows that there is a great difference between the normal force position of the inverted V-tail and that of the U-tail, which is the main reason for the decrease of lateral stability. It is found that when the included angle is less than 90 degrees, the tail can enhance the lateral stability of the aircraft.

      Abstract:The shimmy of the front landing gear of an aircraft usually occurs in the process of taking off or landing, which endangers the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft and is a serious aircraft fault. In this paper, based on the theorem of moment of momentum, a mathematical model of shimmy considering landing gear side bending and torsion is established for a certain type of UAV. The different dynamic models when using traditional oil damping damper and electromagnetic damping damper are discussed. For the traditional oil damping damper, the equivalent linear model is used to obtain the upper and lower boundaries of the critical stability damping curve. For the nonlinear model of electromagnetic damping damper, the bifurcation analysis theory is used to determine the shimmy stability area. It is shown that excessive shimmy damping can not suppress shimmy, and the stable region of shimmy on the parameter plane is obtained, It can provide some references for the design of landing gear shimmy reduction.

      Abstract:The thermal field distribution of generator has a great influence on the failure phenomenon of the overheat protection component, which is the key parameter to be considered in the design. Based on the steady-state pressure solver and turbulence model in ANSYS software, the internal thermal field distribution of the motor under fault mode was simulated. The thermal field distribution of the stator, rotor and shell circulating oil circuit were obtained. The results show that the simulated thermal field is consistent with the actual temperature field distribution. The temperature gradient of low-melting alloy in the thermal trip mechanism is accordance with the internal thermal field distribution of the generator. It is helpful to protect the motor from overheating by changing the melting points of some key parts and the special softening temperature points of materials.

      Abstract (316) HTML (27) PDF 1.98 M (293) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:With the increasing instability of the world situation and the participation of more participants in the aviation manufacturing supply chain, the risks faced by the management of the aviation manufacturing supply chain also increase. Therefore, this paper focuses on risk management in the aviation manufacturing supply chain network, using complex networks as a tool to study the identification of key nodes in the supply chain network, in order to help the aviation supply chain improve its risk resistance ability. By analyzing the current situation and characteristics of China"s aviation manufacturing supply chain network, the aviation manufacturing supply chain complex network is constructed and indicators are defined by proposing the formation mechanism of the supply chain and dividing the supply chain hierarchy. Three classical centrality algorithms, namely degree centrality, betweenness centrality and closeness centrality, and the traditional K-Shell method are weighted and improved. And in combination with the entropy-TOPISIS method, a WKC algorithm for identifying the key nodes of the supply chain for the weighted network is proposed. The feasibility and validity of this algorithm are verified by constructing a network to analyze a numerical example. The results indicate that the WKC algorithm proposed in this paper has scientific principles, low computational complexity, and provides a certain reference for risk management in the supply chain of high-end equipment manufacturing industries such as aviation manufacturing.

      2023, 14(6):178-186. DOI: 10.16615/j.cnki.1674-8190.2023.06.20

      Abstract (219) HTML (180) PDF 1.00 M (286) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to improve the efficiency of flight ground support, an AOE network was constructed according to the flight ground guarantee process of an airport, and the "critical path" of flight ground support operation of the airport was calculated through the flight node data recorded by the airport A-CDM system. By analyzing the compressible process on the critical path, the ground guarantee operation flow of the airport is optimized. Based on the actual data of flight ground guarantee at an airport in southwest China, the abnormal data caused by force majeure were eliminated, and the flight transit time before and after the optimization of the guarantee process was calculated. The comparative analysis shows that, among the 33 sets of flight data, the optimized support operation process using AOE network reduces the ground guarantee operation time by 6.1min/ flight on average, which effectively improves the operation efficiency of the airport.
