The disciplinary relation matrix (DRM) is proposed to describe the coupling relationship according to disciplinary input/output variables, and the MDO definition has been reformulated to adopt the new interfaces. Based on these, a universal MDO solving procedure is proposed to establish an automated and efficient way for MDO modeling and solving. Through a simple and convenient initial configuration, MDO problems can be solved using any of available MDO architectures with no further effort. Several examples are used to verify the proposed MDO modeling and solving process. Result shows that the DRM method has the ability to simplify and automate the MDO procedure, and the related MDO framework can evaluate the MDO problem automatically and efficiently.展开更多

This type of large-scale control problem is non-separable in the sense of conventional hierarchical control. Hierarchical control is extended in the paper to large-scale non-separable control problems, where multiobjective optimization is used as separation strategy. The large-scale non-separable control problem is embedded, under certain conditions, into a family of the weighted Lagrangian formulation. The weighted Lagrangian formulation is separable with respect to subsystems and can be effectively solved using the interaction balance approach at the two lower levels in the proposed three-level solution structure. At the third level, the weighting vector for the weighted Lagrangian formulation is adjusted iteratively to search the optimal weighting vector with which the optimal of the original large-scale non-separable control problem is obtained. Theoretical base of the algorithm is established. Simulation shows that the algorithm is effective.展开更多

It also limits the increasing of coherent integration time. In this paper, application of coherent phase-coded pulse train (CPCPT) solves range-Doppler coupling well. Relevant processing of CPCPT consists of three parts: Doppler preprocessing, pulse compression, and Doppler post-processing. The velocity information obtained by Doppler preprocessing is used for better pulse compression and range tracking. Doppler post-processing with range tracking could make longer coherent accumulation for better detection of target and higher velocity resolution. Finally, examples of data simulation are given to demonstrate the achievements mentioned above.展开更多
