A Control Method for Thermal Structural Tests of Hypersonic Missile Aerodynamic Heating by Chao Lu, Guangming Zhang, Xiaodong Lv

“…This paper presents an intelligent proportional-derivative adaptive global nonsingular fast-terminal sliding-mode control (IPDAGNFTSMC) for tracking temperature trajectories of a hypersonic missile in thermal structural tests. Firstly, the numerical analyses on a hypersonic missile’s aerodynamic heating are based on three different external flow fields via the finite element calculation, which provides the data basis for the thermal structural test of hypersonic vehicles; secondly, due to temperature trajectory differences of a hypersonic missile and the thermal inertia and nonlinear characteristics of quartz lamps in thermal structural test, IPDAGNFTSMC is proposed, consisting of three components: (i) the mathematical model of the thermal structural test is established and further replaced via an intelligent proportional-derivative with a nonlinear extended state observer (NESO) for online unknown disturbances observation; (ii) compared with the traditional sliding-mode control method, the AGNFTSMC method eliminates the reaching phase and the initial control state is trapped on the sliding-mode surface. …”

Carbon fiber and glass fiber mixed design and structural performance analysis for large wind turbine blade by FAN Shijie, MIAO Weipao, LI Chun, WANG Haisheng, ZHU Haibo, YUE Minnan

“…Carbon fiber is increasingly used to replace conventional glass fiber in layup designs of large wind turbine blades to improve their structural strength, but the high cost of carbon fibers makes it difficult to cover the entire area of the blade.Therefore，the research of the influence of mixing ratio and relative position of carbon fibers and glass fibers on the structural performance of the blade can help to obtain higher performance and lower cost wind turbine blades.The proportion of carbon fibers and glass fibers in the corresponding position of the main beam of the blade and the relative position of layup were adjusted by Ansys software.And the structural statics, modal and buckling analyses were conducted by using a combination of computational fluid dynamic method and finite element method.The results show that the performance of the blade main beam using carbon fibers and glass fibers mixed layer can be similar to that of carbon fiber blades.When the carbon fibers near the tip of the blade can improve the blade first-order modal and buckling factors. …”
