To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional passive-radar-seeker(PRS) for anti-decoy, a complex angle measuring method is proposed in this letter. The complex angle measuring method consists of monopulse angle and spatial spectrum estimation, two angle-measuring units. PRS can get the angle high-resolution features through the complex angle measuring method. So it is possible that PRS confronts decoy. Finally, the simulation results verify the feasibility and anti-decoy capacity of the complex angle-measuring method.

Synchrotron x-ray topography with a high-resolution setup using 1128 reflection was carried out on 4H-SiC epilayers. Four different shapes of threading-edge dislocation according to Burgers vector direction were observed. The four types of threading-edge dislocation images were calculated by computer simulation, and the experimental results correlated well with the simulation results. The detailed topographic features generated by plural screw dislocations and basal plane dislocations were also investigated.

We present preliminary results of 2D axisymmetric relativistic MHD simulations of PWNe, aimed at investigating whether structures such as the rings and jets revealed by high resolution X-ray imaging can be due to anisotropy of the outflow from the pulsar. We confirm that these features can qualitatively be explained when the energy flux is larger in the equatorial plane than along the spin axis. Detailed comparison between simulation results and observations is required to constrain the wind energy distribution upstream of the termination shock.

A new type of the micro-displacement device based on V-shaped groove by using piezoelectric stack as the driver was presented. The performance characteristic of the driving device was introduced and its working mechanism was discussed. the dynamic formulation of inertial actuator is established, by using matlab software, the kinetic simulation of the actuator is carried out, the structure of newly inertial actuator is designed and manufactured. The simulation and experiment of the actuator is conducted. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results indicates that the simple associated symmetry electrical signal can provide stable stepping movement, the speed of 0.5mm/s, high resolution of 1μm, maximum loading capacity of 600g.

Abstract. The Rapid Mass Movements Simulator (RAMMS) is an avalanche dynamics software tool for research and forecasting. Since the model’s conception, the sensitivity of inputs on simulation results has been well-documented. Here, we introduce a new method for initializing RAMMS that can be easily operationalized for avalanche forecasting using high resolution LiDAR data. As a demonstration, hypothetical avalanche simulations were performed while incrementally incorporating semi-automated LiDAR-derived values for snow depth, interface topography, and vegetative cover from field-collected LiDAR data. Results show considerable variation in the calculated runout extent, flow volume, pressure, and velocity of the simulated avalanches when incorporating these LiDAR-derived values.

ABSTRACTTropical glaciers constitute an important source of water for downstream populations. However, our understanding of glacial melt processes is still limited. One observed process that has not yet been quantified for tropical glaciers is the enhanced melt caused by the longwave emission transfer. Here, we use high-resolution surface temperatures obtained from the thermal infrared imagery of the Cuchillacocha Glacier, in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru in June 2014 to calculate a margin longwave flux. This longwave flux, reaching the glacier margin from the adjacent exposed rock, varies between 81 and 120 W m−2 daily. This flux is incorporated into a physically-based melt model to assess the net radiation budget at the modeled glacier margin. The simulation results show an increase in the energy available for melt by an average of 106 W m−2 during the day when compared with the simulation where the LWmargin flux is not accounted for. This value represents an increase in ablation of ~1.7 m at the glacier margin for the duration of the dry season. This study suggests that including the quantification of the glacier margin longwave flux in physically-based melt models results in an improved assessment of tropical glacier energy budget and meltwater generation.

In this study, a cam and a flat-faced follower system with impacts and friction at the contact points are analyzed. The dynamic analysis has been done by simulating the follower displacement at a uniform cam angular velocity. Impact and friction are considered to determine the Lyapunov exponent based on different follower guides' clearances and cam rotational speeds. The simulation analysis has been carried out using solidworks. An experimental procedure is developed to capture the follower position through high-resolution optical markers mounted on the moving link. The experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
