Normal Acceleration

The proportional guidance method-based missile homing systems (MHS) have been widely used the real-world environments. In these systems, in order to destroy the targets at different altitudes, a normal acceleration stabilization system (NASS) is often utilized. Therefore, the MHS are complex and the synthesis of these systems are a complex task. However, it is necessary to synthesize NASS during the synthesis of the MHS. To simplify the synthesis process, a linear model of the NASS is used. In addition, we make use of the available commands in Control System Toolbox in MATLAB. Because the Toolbox has the commands to describe the transfer function, determine the stability gain margin, and the values of the transient respond of the linear automatic systems. Thus, this article presents two methods for synthesizing the missile homing systems, including (i) a method for synthesizing the MHS while ensuring the permissible stability gain margin of the NASS, and (ii) a method for synthesizing the MHS while ensuring the permissible stability margin of the NASS by overshoot. These techniques are very easy to implement using MATLAB commands. The synthesis of the proposed MHS is carried out by the parametric optimization method. To validate the performance of the proposed techniques, we compare them withthe MHS synthesized by ensuring the stability margin of the NASS bythe oscillation index. The results show that, two our proposed methods and the existing method provide the same results in terms of high-precision. Nevertheless, the proposed methods are simple and faster than the conventional method. The article also investigates the effect of gravity, longitudinal acceleration of the rocket, andblinding of the homing head on the accuracy of the synthesized MHS. The results illustrate that they have a little effect on its accuracy.

Low Visibility

Modern air targets are characterized by low visibility, high maneuverability and high survivability. In addition, for some specific targets, for instance ballistic missiles, in order to defeat them the missile need tobe guided and carried out direct hit, i.e. "hit to kill". Therefore, in this paper, we present a high-precision missile homing system (MHS) using the proportional guidance method for firing at the highly maneuverable targets. Specifically, we propose a parametric optimization method for choosing a set of optimal parameters of the missile homing system for each dynamic parameter set of the missile. In addition, the paper gives the recommendations of choosing the initial conditions for the synthesis of missile homing system. In our experience, we should choose the small initial condition for synthesizing the missile homing system. Finally, the article also investigates the influence of systematic error in determining the speed, normal acceleration of missiles and the angular velocity of the line of sight of the missile and target on the accuracy of the missile homing system. We implement the proposed missile homing system and the parametric optimization method in Matlab. The experimental results illustrate that, using proposed system and the parametric optimization method, the missile can defeat the modern air targets with low visibility, high maneuverability and high survivability.

Vertical Landing

The cascading launch and cooperative work of lander and rover are the pivotal methods to achieve lunar zero-distance exploration. The separated design results in a heavy system mass that requires more launching costs and a limited exploration area that is restricted to the vicinity of the immovable lander. To solve this problem, we have designed a six-legged movable repetitive lander, called “HexaMRL”, which congenitally integrates the function of both the lander and rover. However, achieving a buffered landing after a failure of the integrated drive units (IDUs) in the harsh lunar environment is a great challenge. In this paper, we systematically analyze the fault-tolerant capacity of all possible landing configurations in which the number of remaining normal legs is more than two and design the landing algorithm to finish a fault-tolerant soft-landing for the stable configuration. A quasi-incentre stability optimization method is further proposed to increase the stability margin during supporting operations after landing. To verify the fault-tolerant landing performance on the moon, a series of experiments, including five-legged, four-legged and three-legged soft-landings with a vertical landing velocity of −1.9 m/s and a payload of 140 kg, are successfully carried out on a 5-DoF lunar gravity ground-testing platform. The HexaMRL with fault-tolerant landing capacity will greatly promote the development of a next-generation lunar prober.

Stability is a prerequisite for legged robots to execute tasks and traverse rough terrains. To guarantee the stability of quadruped locomotion and improve the terrain adaptability of quadruped robots, a stability-guaranteed and high terrain adaptability static gait for quadruped robots is addressed. Firstly, three chosen stability-guaranteed static gaits: intermittent gait 1&2 and coordinated gait are investigated. In addition, then the static gait: intermittent gait 1, which is with the biggest stability margin, is chosen to do a further research about quadruped robots walking on rough terrains. Secondly, a position/force based impedance control is employed to achieve a compliant behavior of quadruped robots on rough terrains. Thirdly, an exploratory gait planning method on uneven terrains with touch sensing and an attitude-position adjustment strategy with terrain estimation are proposed to improve the terrain adaptability of quadruped robots. Finally, the proposed methods are validated by simulations.

Abstract In the transmission line, the series compensation device is often used to improve the transmission capacity. However, when the fixed series capacitor (FSC) is used in high compensation series compensation device, the stability margin cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) is often installed in transmission lines to improve the transmission capacity of the line and the stability of the system. For cost considerations, the hybrid compensation mode of FSC and TCSC is often adopted. However, when a single-phase grounding fault occurs in a transmission line with increased series compensation degree, the unreasonable distribution of FSC and TCSC will lead to the excessive amplitude of secondary arc current, which is not conducive to rapid arc extinguishing. To solve this problem, this paper is based on 1000 kV Changzhi-Nanyang-Jingmen UHV series compensation transmission system, using PSCAD simulation program to established UHV series compensation simulation model, The variation law of secondary arc current and recovery voltage during operation in fine tuning mode after adding TCSC to UHV transmission line is analyzed, and the effect of increasing series compensation degree on secondary arc current and recovery voltage characteristics is studied. And analyze the secondary arc current and recovery voltage when using different FSC and TCSC series compensation degree schemes, and get the most reasonable series compensation configuration scheme. The results show that TCSC compensation is more beneficial to arc extinguishing under the same series compensation. Compared with several series compensation schemes, it is found that with the increase of the proportion of TCSC, the amplitude of secondary arc current and recovery voltage vary greatly. Considering various factors, the scheme that is more conducive to accelerating arc extinguishing is chosen.

The Stability

A mathematical model of the arterial baroreflex was developed and used to assess the stability of the reflex and its potential role in producing the low-frequency arterial blood pressure oscillations called Mayer waves that are commonly seen in humans and animals in response to decreased central blood volume. The model consists of an arrangement of discrete-time filters derived from published physiological studies, which is reduced to a numerical expression for the baroreflex open-loop frequency response. Model stability was assessed for two states: normal and decreased central blood volume. The state of decreased central blood volume was simulated by decreasing baroreflex parasympathetic heart rate gain and by increasing baroreflex sympathetic vaso/venomotor gains as occurs with the unloading of cardiopulmonary baroreceptors. For the normal state, the feedback system was stable by the Nyquist criterion (gain margin = 0.6), but in the hypovolemic state, the gain margin was small (0.07), and the closed-loop frequency response exhibited a sharp peak (gain of 11) at 0.07 Hz, the same frequency as that observed for arterial pressure fluctuations in a group of healthy standing subjects. These findings support the theory that stresses affecting central blood volume, including upright posture, can reduce the stability of the normally stable arterial baroreflex feedback, leading to resonance and low-frequency blood pressure waves.

Abstract SSME HPFTP hot-fire dynamic data evaluation and rotordynamic analysis both confirm that two of the most significant turbopump attributes in determining susceptibility to subsynchronous vibration are impeller interstage seal configuration and rotor sideload resulting from turbine turnaround duct configuration and hot gas manifold. Recent hot-fire testing has provided promising indications that the incorporation of roughened “damping” seals at the impeller interstages may further increase the stability margin of this machine. A summary of the analysis which led to the conclusion that roughened seals would enhance the stability margin is presented herein, along with a correlation of the analysis with recent test data.

This paper deals with the walking stability analysis of a multi-legged crablike robot over slope using normalized energy stability margin (NESM) method in order to develop a common stabilization description method and achieve robust locomotion for the robot over rough terrains. The robot is simplified with its static stability being described by NESM. The mathematical model of static stability margin is built so as to carry out the simulation of walking stability over slope for the crablike robot that walks in double tetrapod gait. As a consequence, the relationship between stability margin and the height of the robots centroid, as well as its inclination relative to the ground is calculated by the stability criterion. The success and performance of the stability criterion proposed is verified through MATLAB simulation and real-world experiments using multi-legged crablike robot.
