26  Integrated Guidance and Control of Nonlinear Missile Based on Adaptive Backstepping Design

TANG Zhili, LEI Humin, SHAO Lei

Abstract: This paper presents an adaptive integrated guidance and control approach for nonlinear missile, using backstepping control based RBF neural network and combined with sliding mode control. Frist, the dynamic of guidance and control system is transformed into a strict-feedback. After that, an on-line neural network based backstepping control is used to provide robustness with respect to parametric uncertainties in the missile aerodynamics, and through introduction of the sliding mode term, it can make the tracking error approach to zero. Simulation results demonstrate that the designed control system enjoys good performance and robustness.

30  A New NLPID Controller Based on Anti-windup Compensator and its Application to Winged Missile Control

LI Congying, ZHOU Shaolei, LUAN Ritao, et al.

Abstract: Nonlinear tracking-differentiator and nonlinear combination were used to improve classical PID controller reported in order to ephance its adaptability and robustness. However, in winged missile control system, hard constraints and soft constraints were hard to avoid and hurtful to the control system. An anti-windup compensator was used to improve the nonlinear PID controller (NLPID) and the improved NLPID controller was applied towinged missile control system. The use of nonlinear PID controller releases us from complicated work of making gain scheduling table. Characteristic point simulation and full trajectory simulation show validity of the anti-windup NLPID controller.

34  Performance of L-band UWB-MAV TTC Link

HE Yi, WANG Yongsheng

Abstract: In this paper, an L-band Ultra-wideband(UWB) TTC link for the Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) is proposed. The structure of UWB-MAV TTC link system and the multipath channel model for wideband aeronautical communication are presented, considering the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation in the low-data single carrier-based impulse radio system. Taking into account the multipath and Doppler effects on the wideband DSSS signal, a lag Rake receiver capable of leveraging the diversity resulting from mobility is studied. The results show that a reliable UWB TTC link for MAVs can be established by compromising between range and performance of transmission.

38  Simulation and Analysis of Single-DOF MRF Damper Control Suspension Model Based on Two Control Algorithms

WANG Hongtao, ZHANG Jinqiu, FENG Zhanzong, et al.

Abstract: Single-DOF dynamic model of tracked-vehicle is established with road acceleration actuators as excitation and without considering the non-suspend molar.  The state-space representation and vibration differential representation of the suspension system are derived by selecting state variables. According to the modern control theory, the dynamic model is computed, respectively, with the following control algorithms: sliding mode and pole assignment control algorithms. The effects of vibration control are compared and analyzed against passive control under three different sample frequencies. The result shows that the relative displacement and relative velocity and acceleration of the track vehicle are reduced greatly under the two control algorithms. The sliding mode control algorithm enjoys a better control effect than the pole assignment algorithm. In fact, sliding mode control algorithm finds wider applications than pole assignment one because it can be used not only for linear problems but also for nonlinear problems. The optimal sample frequency is determined. The above work lays a foundation for debugging of the control algorithms on the test bench.

43  Consequence Analysis for Explosion of Blowout Based on Multi-energy Model and Probit Equation

ZHENG Yuanpan, ZHANG Ying'an, FENG Changgen, et al.

Abstract: For risk analysis of Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE) accident caused by blowout of natural gas well, the TNT equivalence model suffers from some shortcomings, such as, that it can be used to determine only overpressure but not impulse, while the overpressure is usually too high as near VCE or too low as far away from VCE center. Multi-energy model based on the concept of congestion space is much closer to practical scenario of VCE than TNT equivalence model based on point-source explosion. Besides, both overpressure and duration time of positive phase overpressure can be obtained by using multi-energy model. Likewise, not only overpressure but also impulse can be considered in the probit equation model; meanwhile, an interfaces to convert overpressure and impulse to percentage injured according to a certain criterion is provided by the probit equation model. So, the combination of multi-energy model with probit equation model would make risk analysis much more precise and convenient. In applications, one should firstly specify injury standards then convert it to overpressure and impulse using the probit equation and finally obtain the safety distance using the multi-energy model. Results of a case study show that under the same injury standards, the safety distance given by models based on the multi-energy model and the probit equation model is more reasonable than that provided by TNT equivalence model.

66  Numerical Experiment and Mechanism Analysis on the Effect of Zhejiang Orography on Typhoon Khanun

ZHANG Jianhai, YU Zhongkai, PANG Shenglong

Abstract: The landfall process of typhoon Khanun which affected East China seriously is simulated by using MM5 model and the track and the precipitation of the typhoon are successfully reproduced, then through sensitive tests, the effect of Zhejiang orography and the mechanism are analyzed. Results show that the orography has little effect on the track of typhoon, which may be due to the height of orography and strong steering flow. As regards to rainfall,it increases significantly on the windward side while deceases on the lee side. The circulation of typhoon Khanun on middle-north coastal of Zhejiang Province is enhanced significantly to form a rainstorm center due to the mesoscale turbulences initiated by orographic forcing, which is in the same phase as the local circulation of typhoon.

Keywords:  Typhoon Khanun; orography effect; numerical experiments; mechanism analysis

73  Effects of Bagging and Fruit-expander on Ca, Pectin Content and the Quality of Huangguan Pear Fruits

GUAN Junfeng, MA Wenhui, JI Hua, et al.

Abstract: Bagging and fruit-expander are used as a common technique in the "Huangguan" pear fruit productionwhich often influence fruit quality and induce superficial browning spot. In order to investigate the regulation mechanism of bagging and fruit-expander, young "Huangguan" pear fruits were bagged outside with grey paper bags and inside with dark paper bags and then fruit pedicels were smeared with fruit-expander during the early development   stage.  The results show that bagging and fruit-expander increase significantly weight per fruit, induce significantly superficial browning spot of fruits stored at cool temperature (0℃), but bagging has no obvious influence on Soluble Solid Content (SSC), firmness, Titration Acid(TA) and soluble sugar content, except for a higher starch content of fruit. On the other hand, the fruit-expander could decrease firmness, TA and starch content, increase TSS/TA, accelerate fruit maturation. Bagging also decreases markedly fruit Ca content, particularly in peel of fruit, and also reduces the content of Cell Wall Substance (CWS), soluble- and proto-pectin of fruit peel, which might be stimulated by fruit-expander. Meanwhile, bagging enhances the content of CWS, soluble- and proto-pectin of flesh, while the fruit-expander decreases the content of CWS and proto-pectin, but increases soluble pectin of the fruit flesh. In summary, it is shown that bagging and fruit-expander mainly decease the content of Ca, and cell wall substance and the pectin content in peel of "Huangguan" pear fruits, which may be a part of mechanism of superficial browning spot incidence induced by bagging and fruit-expander.

79  Some Special Collaboration Properties of Four Real World Collaboration-competition Networks

LIU Shuijing, QIAN Xia, FENG Yachao, et al.

Abstract: An empirical study was carried out on 9 real world collaboration networks and 25 real world cooperation-competition networks. Among the systems, all 9 real world collaboration networks and 6 real world cooperation-competition networks show a unimodal act-size distribution and the so-called "shifted power law" distribution for degree and act-degree. The other 14 real world cooperation-competition networks show different features. The act-size distributions are not unimodal; instead, they follow qualitatively the same shifted power law as the degree and act-degree distributions. This article presents the properties (in more details) of four systems (main land movie film network, Beijing restaurant network, 2004 Olympic network, and Tao-Bao notebook computer sale network) as examples, and explains two different kinds of rules by a collaboration network evolution model proposed by this paper.

Keywords:  collaboration networks;  cooperation-competition networks; statistical properties;  empirically investigation
