The rolling bearings in moment wheel assemblies (MWAs) or control moment gyros (CMGs) are not only the core components in spacecrafts but also prone to failure. Therefore, a high reliability is the critical characteristic for spacecraft bearings, and long-life testing on the ground is one of the main means for bearing reliability assessment. In practical applications, a convenient and reliable method is required for monitoring the health status of abnormal bearings in MWAs during the long-life test. In this paper, a monitoring method based on the clustering fusion of normal operation acoustic parameters is proposed for the identification of abnormal bearings. Firstly, the characteristics of MWA’s acoustic signal and its feasibility as a monitoring medium are clarified based on tests and modal analysis. Then statistical parameters and sound quality parameters are introduced to characterize the changes caused by bearing faults, and the root mean square (RMS), kurtosis, and sharpness parameters are selected to construct the feature vectors. The K-medoids clustering technology is used to fuse the characteristic parameters, and the safety distance for normal bearing operation can be obtained by a suitable method. Finally, the abnormal index is presented based on the excess rate and excess distance to judge the abnormal states of several types of bearings through tests. The research results indicate that the presented monitoring method based on the clustering of the normal operation acoustic parameters can not only identify various faults of the spacecraft bearing (ball defects, outer ring defects, cage instability, etc.) effectively but also give a quantitative evaluation of the severity of the abnormality.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.

The harmonic reducer, with its advantages of high precision, low noise, light weight, and high speed ratio, has been widely used in aerospace solar wing deployment mechanisms, antenna pointing mechanisms, robot joints, and other precision transmission fields. Accurately predicting the performance of the harmonic reducer under various application conditions is of great significance to the high reliability and long life of the harmonic reducer. In this paper, a set of automatic harmonic reducer performance test systems is designed. By using the CANOpen bus interface to control the servo motor as the drive motor, through accurately controlling the motor speed and rotation angle, collecting the angle, torque, and current in real time, the life cycle test of space harmonic reducer was carried out in high vacuum and low temperature environment on the ground. Then, the collected data were automatically analyzed and calculated. The test data of the transmission accuracy, backlash, and transmission efficiency of the space harmonic reducer were obtained. It is proven by experiments that the performance data of the harmonic reducer in space work can be more accurately obtained by using the test system mentioned in this paper, which is convenient for further research on related lubricating materials.

The rapid development of high-speed railway (HSR) and train-ground communications with high reliability, safety, and capacity promotes the evolution of railway dedicated mobile communication systems from Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway (GSM-R) to Long Term Evolution-Railway (LTE-R). The main challenges for LTE-R network planning are the rapidly time-varying channel and high mobility, because HSR lines consist of a variety of complex terrains, especially the composite scenarios where tunnels, cuttings, and viaducts are connected together within a short distance. Existing researches mainly focus on the path loss and delay spread for the individual HSR scenarios. In this paper, the broadband measurements are performed using a channel sounder at 950 MHz and 2150 MHz in a typical HSR composite scenario. Based on the measurements, the pivotal characteristics are analyzed for path loss exponent, power delay profile, and tap delay line model. Then, the deterministic channel model in which the 3D ray-tracing algorithm is applied in the composite scenario is presented and validated by the measurement data. Based on the ray-tracing simulations, statistical analysis of channel characteristics in delay and Doppler domain is carried out for the HSR composite scenario. The research results can be useful for radio interface design and optimization of LTE-R system.

The scaling of integrated-circuit device dimensions in the horizontal direction has caused an increase in aspect ratios of contact holes and vias without a corresponding scaledown in vertical dimensions. Conventional sputtering has become unreliable for handling higher aspect-ratio via/contact holes because of its poor step coverage. Several studies have attempted to overcome this problem by using W-CVD and reflow technology. The W-CVD is used for practical device fabrications. However, this technique has several problems such as poor adhesion to SiO2, poor W surface morphology, greater resistivity than Al, and the need of an etch-back process.Al reflow technology using a conventional DC magnetron sputtering system can simplify device-fabrication processes and achieve high reliability without Al/W interfaces. In particular, the Al reflow technology is profitable for multi-level interconnections in combination with a damascene process by using Al chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). These interconnections are necessary for miniaturized and high-speed devices because they provide lower resistivity than W and simplify fabrication processes, resulting in lower cost.This article describes recent Al reflow sputtering technologies as well as application of via and interconnect metallization.
