Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(...Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(PID)control strategy fails to achieve the Mach number control error target of 0.001 and is inept at resisting flow field disturbances caused by rapid changes in angle of attack.Aiming at this problem,this study takes the intermittent transonic wind tunnel of China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center as the research object and optimizes the wind tunnel control system for its characteristics of multi-input multi-output(MIMO),large time delay and nonlinearity.First,the control system structure is reconstructed by introducing ejection pressure as a controlled variable to reduce the time lag from the main pressure regulating valve to the test section,and selecting static pressure instead of Mach number as a controlled variable to weaken the nonlinear coupling between Mach number and static pressure.Second,based on the first-order plus dead time process model of the wind tunnel,a MIMO dynamic matrix controller(DMC)for wind tunnel flow field is designed.Considering the predictable nature of angle-of-attack changes,a feedforward compensation strategy is integrated into the DMC to mitigate the pressure disturbance in the test section caused by the variation of angle of attack.Third,a complete tuning strategy for DMC parameters including sampling time,prediction horizon,control horizon and weight coefficients is formulated according to the wind tunnel model parameters under different Mach numbers.Experimental validations through practical blowing tests are carried out at Mach numbers of 0.578,0.675,0.714 and 0.822 to compare the control performance of the proposed feedforward DMC strategy with the traditional PID control and DMC without feedforward compensation.The results show that the proposed strategy stably controls the Mach number error within 0.001,and significantly improves the stagnation pressure control accuracy and anti-disturbance capability of the wind tunnel flow field.Moreover,the strategy exhibits excellent repeatability and robustness under different Mach number conditions.This study effectively solves the problem of high-precision flow field control under the rapid change of angle of attack in intermittent transonic wind tunnels,and provides a technical reference for the flow field control of complex fluid test devices such as hypersonic wind tunnels.展开更多

摘要Development of dexterous robotic joints is essential for advancing manipulation capabilities in robotic systems.This paper presents a design and an implementation of a tendon-driven robotic wrist joint,together with an efficient Sliding Mode Controller(SMC)for precise motion control.The wrist mechanism is modelled using the Timoshenko-based approach to accurately capture its kinematic and dynamic properties,which serve as the foundation for tendon force calculations within the controller.The proposed SMC is designed to deliver fast dynamic response and computational efficiency,enabling accurate trajectory tracking under varying operating conditions.The effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated through comparative analyses with existing controllers for similar wrist mechanisms.The proposed SMC demonstrated superior performance,validated through both simulation and experimental studies.The Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)range in simulation is found to be approximately 1.67×10-2radians,while experimental validation yielded an error of 0.2 radians.Additionally,the controller achieved a settling time of less than 3 seconds and a steady-state error below 10-1radians,consistently observed across both simulation and experimental evaluations.Comparative analyses with other controllers confirmed that the developed SMC surpassed alternative control strategies in motion accuracy,rapid convergence,and steady-state precision,contributing to enhanced dexterity.This work establishes a foundation for future exploration of tendon-driven wrist mechanisms and control strategies in robotic applications.
摘要In this study,artificial neural networks(ANNs)were implemented to determine design parameters for an impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP)prototype.An ASTM A36 steel plate was tested in 3.5%NaCl solution,seawater,and NS4 using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)to monitor the evolution of the substrate surface,which affects the current required to reach the protection potential(Eprot).Experimental data were collected as training datasets and analyzed using statistical methods,including box plots and correlation matrices.Subsequently,ANNs were applied to predict the current demand at different exposure times,enabling the estimation of electrochemical parameters(limiting voltage values)that can be used to optimize a self-regulating ICCP system.The obtained electrochemical parameters were then used,through Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),to fine-tune an ANN-based proportional-integral-derivative(PID)controller for the ICCP system.
摘要Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(PID)control strategy fails to achieve the Mach number control error target of 0.001 and is inept at resisting flow field disturbances caused by rapid changes in angle of attack.Aiming at this problem,this study takes the intermittent transonic wind tunnel of China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center as the research object and optimizes the wind tunnel control system for its characteristics of multi-input multi-output(MIMO),large time delay and nonlinearity.First,the control system structure is reconstructed by introducing ejection pressure as a controlled variable to reduce the time lag from the main pressure regulating valve to the test section,and selecting static pressure instead of Mach number as a controlled variable to weaken the nonlinear coupling between Mach number and static pressure.Second,based on the first-order plus dead time process model of the wind tunnel,a MIMO dynamic matrix controller(DMC)for wind tunnel flow field is designed.Considering the predictable nature of angle-of-attack changes,a feedforward compensation strategy is integrated into the DMC to mitigate the pressure disturbance in the test section caused by the variation of angle of attack.Third,a complete tuning strategy for DMC parameters including sampling time,prediction horizon,control horizon and weight coefficients is formulated according to the wind tunnel model parameters under different Mach numbers.Experimental validations through practical blowing tests are carried out at Mach numbers of 0.578,0.675,0.714 and 0.822 to compare the control performance of the proposed feedforward DMC strategy with the traditional PID control and DMC without feedforward compensation.The results show that the proposed strategy stably controls the Mach number error within 0.001,and significantly improves the stagnation pressure control accuracy and anti-disturbance capability of the wind tunnel flow field.Moreover,the strategy exhibits excellent repeatability and robustness under different Mach number conditions.This study effectively solves the problem of high-precision flow field control under the rapid change of angle of attack in intermittent transonic wind tunnels,and provides a technical reference for the flow field control of complex fluid test devices such as hypersonic wind tunnels.
摘要随着BIM技术在桥梁工程中的深入应用,IFC(Industry Foundation Classes)标准作为开放的数据模型,为实现全生命周期信息集成提供了基础。然而,现有IFC标准在桥梁领域的实体描述存在空缺,难以支持设计、施工、运维各阶段的数据贯通。本文基于IFC标准理论框架,系统开展了桥梁工程的实体扩展与属性集成研究。首先分析了IFC标准的层次结构与信息描述机制,明确了属性集、实体类型及其关联规则;进而提出了桥梁系统数据的扩展路径,构建了包含物理实体(如梁、墩、塔)与空间实体(上部、中部、下部结构)的层次化模型;在此基础上,结合桥梁工程全生命周期管理需求,定义并扩展了四类属性集(基础参数、病害参数、评价参数、运维数据),实现了基于IFC的桥梁信息结构化存储与动态关联。本研究期望为桥梁工程数字化建模提供了标准化、可扩展的IFC实施路径,有助于推动BIM技术在桥梁全生命周期中的深度应用。
