First, the simulation-based Bayesian de- sign framework for SSADT is presented. Then, by considering his- torical data, specific optimal objectives oriented Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is established. A numerical example is discussed to illustrate the design approach. It is assumed that the degrada- tion model (or process) follows a drift Brownian motion; the accele- ration model follows Arrhenius equation; and the corresponding parameters follow normal and Gamma prior distributions. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and WinBUGS software, the comparison shows that KL divergence is better than quadratic loss for optimal criteria. Further, the effect of simulation outiiers on the optimization plan is analyzed and the preferred sur- face fitting algorithm is chosen. At the end of the paper, a NASA lithium-ion battery dataset is used as historical information and the KL divergence oriented Bayesian design is compared with maxi- mum likelihood theory oriented locally optimal design. The results show that the proposed method can provide a much better testing plan for this engineering application.展开更多

摘要To address the attitude control problem under the uncertainty,external disturbance,and actuator failure,a predefined-time fault-tolerant control method based on a predefined time disturbance observer is proposed.First,the dynamics model of hypersonic morphing vehicle(HMV)is established,and the control system is designed as an outer-loop attitude angle control loop and an inner-loop angular rate control loop considering the actuator failure problem.Secondly,a predefined-time disturbance observer is designed to estimate the comprehensive disturbances,and compensate in the control law.By integrating back-stepping control with predefined-time theory,a predefined-time attitude tracking control method is proposed,enabling the convergence time of the attitude tracking error to be designed through a simple parameter.Rigorous Lyapunov function analysis has demonstrated that the attitude tracking error can converge to an arbitrarily small neighborhood around the origin within a predefined time,and all signals in the closedloop system are bounded.Finally,comparative simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

摘要Random vector functional ink(RVFL)networks belong to a class of single hidden layer neural networks in which some parameters are randomly selected.Their network structure in which contains the direct links between inputs and outputs is unique,and stability analysis and real-time performance are two difficulties of the control systems based on neural networks.In this paper,combining the advantages of RVFL and the ideas of online sequential extreme learning machine(OS-ELM)and initial-training-free online extreme learning machine(ITFOELM),a novel online learning algorithm which is named as initial-training-free online random vector functional link algo rithm(ITF-ORVFL)is investigated for training RVFL.The link vector of RVFL network can be analytically determined based on sequentially arriving data by ITF-ORVFL with a high learning speed,and the stability for nonlinear systems based on this learning algorithm is analyzed.The experiment results indicate that the proposed ITF-ORVFL is effective in coping with nonparametric uncertainty.

摘要As a universal casting Mg-RE alloy,Mg-6Gd-3Y-Zr(GW63K,wt.%)alloy exhibits superior strength-ductility synergy and holds significant potential for engineering applications.In this study,the GW63K alloy is produced using the laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)additive manufacturing(AM)process for the first time.The printability,microstructure characteristics,and post-heat treatment conditions of the GW63K alloy are systematically investigated.The as-built GW63K samples demonstrate high relative densities exceeding 99.6%and exhibit no macroscopic and microscopic cracking across a wide range of process parameters,indicating excellent printability.An exceptional heterogeneous microstructure is observed in the as-built GW63K alloy,comprising coarse columnar grains,fine equiaxed grains with an average grain size of 21.72μm,uniformly distributed nano-sized Mg24(Gd,Y)5secondary phase,and numerous dislocations.Consequently,the as-built GW63K alloy displays enhanced tensile strengths and ductility compared to the as-cast alloy,with yield strength(YS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and elongation(EL)values of 218±4 MPa,284±5 MPa and 11.9±1.6%respectively.Additionally,due to the absence of coarse micron-sized secondary phase,a specific direct aging(T5)heat treatment regime at 200℃for 128 h is optimized for the as-built GW63K alloy to introduce dense and dispersedβ’aging precipitates.This T5 treatment surpasses the conventional solution plus aging(T6)heat treatment in enhancing mechanical properties.The LPBF-T5 GW63K alloy exhibits YS,UTS and EL values of 293±6 MPa,359±4 MPa and 2.9±0.7%,respectively.Notably,the YS of the LPBF-T5 alloy represents the highest value for the GW63K alloy,even surpassing that of the extrusion-T5 alloy.This study indicates that the GW63K alloy is a highly promising material for manufacturing near-net-shape high-strength Mg alloy components with intricate geometries using LPBF.

摘要Tungsten inert gas(TIG)welding and laser beam welding(LBW)were employed on as-cast and as-forged Mg−8Li−3Al−2Zn−0.5Y(LAZ832-0.5Y)alloys to investigate their weldability.The microstructure and mechanical properties of solid solution treated samples were investigated for the purpose of further strength improvement,which were treated at 350℃ for 4 h.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and yield strength(YS)of the optimal TIG as-cast alloy welding joint were 159 and 122 MPa,which were obtained under the welding current of 80 A,and were lower than the UTS(184 MPa)and YS(146 MPa)of the optimal LBW as-forged welding joint under the power of 2.1 kW/2.0 kW double-side welding.After the solid solution treatment,on the one hand,the growth ofα-Mg grains in the fusion zone(FZ),heat affected zone(HAZ)and base metal(BM)of both the TIG and LBW welding joints was insignificant.On the other hand,the larger Al2Y phases were still present,while the much smaller white AlLi particles were dissolved into the matrix,leading to the solid solution strengthening of the welding joints.As a result,the UTS and YS of the TIG welding joint respectively increased to 216 and 188 MPa after solid solution treatment,and those of the LBW welding joint only increased to 211 and 160 MPa,respectively.

摘要The influence of refining flux composition,refining time,refining temperature,and addition amount on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-9Li-3Al-1Zn alloy was investigated with orthogonal experimental design.The flux purification process for Mg-Li alloys was optimized and the most effective ternary flux composition was identified.Results indicate that flux purification significantly mitigates Li loss during smelting by forming a protective surface layer that reduces Li oxidation and evaporation.The optimal flux composition is LiCl:LiF:CaF2in a 3:1:2 mass ratio,with a flux addition of 3%,refining temperature of 720°C,and holding time of 10 min.The elongation of alloy improves to 16.2% after refinement,while the enhancement in strength remains marginal.

摘要A novel simulation method for fuze warhead system (FWS) at very low altitude flight is proposed to solve adaptability issues of the traditional one in the naval battle. Firstly, a simulation system framework is presented. Then the detailed implementation of a novel general fuze model, a novel sea echo model and a novel warhead dynamic effectiveness power field algorithm including the simulation system are presented. Finally, simulation results show good performance of the proposed method. The proposed method can simulate the echo signal when the complex fuze antennas detect target and the sea at the same time, and can truly reflect the target positions hit by the warhead fragments. The proposed method can solve the existing problems in the FWS simulation system.

摘要Nearly undamaged joints of electron beam welded(EBW)dual-phase Mg-8Li-3Al-2Zn-0.5Y alloy were achieved with joint coefficients exceeding 95%.All specimens were fractured at the base metal(BM),implying a significant departure from conventional fracture modes of welded joints.The fusion zone(FZ)consists of ultrafine acicular α-Mg and equiaxed β-Li,with grain sizes reduced by approximately 90% and 80%,respectively,compared to the base metal.This results in a significant increase in microhardness of about 40%.A unique multiphase mixture was observed in the heat-affected zone(HAZ),which mainly consists of lamellar eutectoid structures,fine precipitates zone,and numerous fine Mg3(Al,Zn)particles.This mixture was transformed from typical Li(Al,Zn)(a common softening phase)undergoing atomic diffusion and solid-state phase transformation during welding.It introduces a synergistic strengthening effect,making the heat-affected zone no longer the weakest part of the joint.This study provides valuable insights into the electron beam welding technology for Mg-Li alloys and offers theoretical support for manufacturing high-quality joints.

摘要For ultra-light Mg-Li alloys with a high Li content,fusion welding is a challenge due to the relatively active main alloying elements Mg and Li.In this study,electron beam welding technology was applied for the first time to join 8-mm-thick forged Mg-12Li-3Al-2Zn-1Si-1Y alloy plates.By controlling the heat input,defects in the welded joints and elemental evaporation were minimized.However,for the Mg-12Li-3Al-2Zn-1Si-1Y alloy,the Mg2Si eutectic phase segregates at the fusion-zone grain boundaries during rapid solidification of the molten pool,thereby promoting the precipitation of coarse Mg3(Al,Zn)phases along the boundaries.This segregation weakened intergranular atomic bonding in the fusion zone,leading to reduced deformability.Consequently,tensile fracture of the welded joints occurred in the fusion zone.With increasing heat input,the precipitation ofα-Mg phases around Mg3(Al,Zn)phases at the grain boundaries improved the deformability of the grain boundaries.As the fusion zone and heat-affected zone were strengthened,fracture shifted to the base material,which became the weakest region.Under these conditions(with the heat input ranging from 123.4 to 164.6 J/mm),the joint efficiency exceeded 95%,and the ultimate tensile strength was approximately 280 MPa.When the heat input was further increased,grains in the heat affected zone coarsened,creating a softened zone where fracture occurred.This study provides a theoretical basis for electron beam welding of high-Li-content Mg-Li alloys,and offers a solution for their joining applications.

摘要In order to meet the demand of CubeSats for low power and high-performance micro-propulsion system,a porous ionic liquid electrospray thruster prototype is developed in this study.1010 conical emitter arrays are fabricated on an area of 3.24 cm2 by computer numerical control machining technology.The propellant is 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate.The over-all dimension of the assembled prototype is 3 cm×3 cm×1 cm,with a total weight of about 15 g(with propellant).The performance of this prototype is tested under vacuum.The results show that it can work in the voltage range of±2.0 kV to±3.0 kV,and the maximum emission current and input power are about 355 lA and 1.12 W.Time of Flight(TOF)mass spectrometry results show that cationic monomers and dimers dominate the beam in positive mode,while a higher proportion of higher-order solvated ion clusters in negative mode.The maximum specific impulse is 2992 s in positive mode and 849 s in negative mode.The thrust is measured in two methods:one is calculated by TOF results and the other is directly measured by high-precision torsional thrust stand.The thrust(T)obtained by these two methods conforms to a certain scaling law with respect to the emis-sion current(Iem)and the applied voltage(Vapp),following the scale of T-IemVapp0.5,and the thrust range is from 2.1 lN to 42.6 lN.Many thruster performance parameters are significantly different in positive and negative modes.We speculate that due to the higher solvation energy of the anion,more solvated ion clusters are formed rather than pure ions under the same electric field.It may help to improve thruster performance if porous materials with smaller pore sizes are used as reservoirs.Although there are still many problems,most of the performance parameters of ILET-3 are good,which can theoretically meet the requirements of CubeSats for micro-propulsion system.

摘要Although the development of machine intelligence is far from simulating all the cognitive competence of our brains, still it is absolutely possible to peel the driving activity from people's cognitive activities and then make the machine finish some low-level, complicated and lasting driving cognition by simulating our brains. The goal of driving is to replace drivers and free them from boring driving activities. Based on some studies on unmanned driving, this paper summarizes and analyzes the background, significance, research status and key technology of unmanned driving and the research group also introduces some research on brain cognition of driving and sensor placement of intelligent vehicles, which offers more meaningful reference to push the study of unmanned driving.

摘要In this paper,we introduce an incident angle based fusion method for radar and infrared sensors to improve the recognition rate of complex targets under half space scenarios,e.g.,vehicles on the ground in this paper.For radar sensors,convolutional operation is introduced into the autoencoder,a“winner-take-all(WTA)”convolutional autoencoder(CAE)is used to improve the recognition rate of the radar high resolution range profile(HRRP).Moreover,different from the free space,the HRRP in half space is more complex.In order to get closer to the real situation,the half space HRRP is simulated as the dataset.The recognition rate has a growth more than 7%com-pared with the traditional CAE or denoised sparse autoencoder(DSAE).For infrared sensor,a convolutional neural network(CNN)is used for infrared image recognition.Finally,we com-bine the two results with the Dempster-Shafer(D-S)evidence theory,and the discounting operation is introduced in the fusion to improve the recognition rate.The recognition rate after fusion has a growth more than 7%compared with a single sensor.After the discounting operation,the accuracy rate has been improved by 1.5%,which validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

摘要This study presents a Bayesian methodology for de- signing step stress accelerated degradation testing (SSADT) and its application to batteries. First, the simulation-based Bayesian de- sign framework for SSADT is presented. Then, by considering his- torical data, specific optimal objectives oriented Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is established. A numerical example is discussed to illustrate the design approach. It is assumed that the degrada- tion model (or process) follows a drift Brownian motion; the accele- ration model follows Arrhenius equation; and the corresponding parameters follow normal and Gamma prior distributions. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and WinBUGS software, the comparison shows that KL divergence is better than quadratic loss for optimal criteria. Further, the effect of simulation outiiers on the optimization plan is analyzed and the preferred sur- face fitting algorithm is chosen. At the end of the paper, a NASA lithium-ion battery dataset is used as historical information and the KL divergence oriented Bayesian design is compared with maxi- mum likelihood theory oriented locally optimal design. The results show that the proposed method can provide a much better testing plan for this engineering application.
