The Difference

The mathematical models of the double function flywheel system were built based on experimental tests and theoretical analysis in the course of energy storage and attitude control. Due to significant changes of the system model parameters in the experiment, the difference between the up and down flywheel-electrical machinery unit are compensated through the cascade compensation, and then the PID compound control algorithm with integral separation and formula partition is put forward. Experiments show that overshoot is restrained effectively and stable control is realized in high speed and wide range synchronously. The angel of the platform can be stabilized within 1°, namely the attitude affection should be controlled less than 1.2′ according to the flywheels in satellite.

Flywheel Energy Storage System

The large flywheel energy storage system requires very high radial tensile strength of the flywheel rim, for the sake of the ultimate strength requirement, multilayer flywheel rim structure of carbon fiber/glass fiber hybrid composite is employed in the paper. Both stress calculation and FEM analysis show that rational densign of the layer thickness and the hybrid ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber can reduce radial strength requirement of rim material, especially for large flywheel energy storage system.

AbstractIn the last years, Control Moment Gyros (CMGs) are widely used for high-speed attitude control, since they are able to generate larger torque compared to “classical” actuation systems, such as Reaction Wheels . This paper describes the attitude control problem of a spacecraft, using a Model Predictive Control method. The features of the considered linear MPC are: (i) a virtual reference, to guarantee input constraints satisfaction, and (ii) an integrator state as a servo compensator, to reduce the steady-state error. Moreover, the real-time implementability is investigated using an experimental testbed with four CMGs in pyramidal configuration, where the capability of attitude control and the optimization solver for embedded systems are focused on. The effectiveness and the performance of the control system are shown in both simulations and experiments.

Anuran jumping is one of the most powerful accelerations in vertebrate locomotion. Several species are hypothesized to use a catapult-like mechanism to store and rapidly release elastic energy, producing power outputs far beyond the capability of muscle. Most evidence for this mechanism comes from measurements of whole-body power output; the decoupling of joint motion and muscle shortening expected in a catapult-like mechanism has not been demonstrated. We used high-speed marker-based biplanar X-ray cinefluoroscopy to quantify plantaris muscle fascicle strain and ankle joint motion in frogs in order to test for two hallmarks of a catapult mechanism: (i) shortening of fascicles prior to joint movement (during tendon stretch), and (ii) rapid joint movement during the jump without rapid muscle-shortening (during tendon recoil). During all jumps, muscle fascicles shortened by an average of 7.8 per cent (54% of total strain) prior to joint movement, stretching the tendon. The subsequent period of initial joint movement and high joint angular acceleration occurred with minimal muscle fascicle length change, consistent with the recoil of the elastic tendon. These data support the plantaris longus tendon as a site of elastic energy storage during frog jumping, and demonstrate that catapult mechanisms may be employed even in sub-maximal jumps.

Among advanced cutting methods, High Speed Milling (HSM) is often recommended to improve the productivity and to reduce the costs of machining parts. As every cutting process, HSM is characterized by some defects like surface roughness and delamination are the main defects generated in composite materials. The aim of this experimental work is the studying of the machining quality of woven Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using the HSM technology. Experiments were done using different machining parameters combinations to make opened holes in CFRP laminates. This study investigated the effect of cutting speed, orbital feed speed, hole diameter on the delamination defect and surface roughness responses generated in the drilled holes. The design of experimental tests was generated using the approach of Central Composite Design (CCD). The characterization of these responses was treated with the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that the surface roughness is highly affected by the orbital feed speed (F) with contribution of 22.45%. The delamination factor at entry and exit of holes is strongly influenced by the hole diameter D (25.97% and 57.43%) respectively. The developed model equations gave a good correlation between the empirical and predicted results. The optimization of the milling parameters was treated using desirability function to minimize the surface roughness (Ra) and the delamination factor simultaneously.

This work provides an attitude solution for a high-speed vehicle using plasma aerodynamic control called “plasma virtual flap” manipulation. This paper describes the concept of using plasma active control as plasma virtual flap for off-design attitude manipulation problem. Design of an attitude controller considering plasma aerodynamic effects for the high-speed vehicle is presented. The aerodynamic lift and drag force features in the high speed, long duration cruise flight with plasma actuator effect are introduced, where the estimated models and attitude controller are established. This paper documents the development and capabilities of plasma virtual flap attitude control authority. Simulation results are presented to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed method.
