Compared to the conventional mining path, the design principles and superiorities of the two new paths are that the miner turning with relative long radius should avoid large sinkage and high slip, so as to ensure its operational safety, while the space between its straight-line trajectories before and after the turning is optimum, which is designed as the total width of the miner, and collect nodules as more as possible, so as to ensure its collection efficiency. To realize the new mining paths, theoretical designs and quantitative calculations were carried out to determine the exact positions for the speed controls of the miner during its whole operation process. With the new dynamic model of the miner, and through regulations of the speeds of the left and right tracks of the miner on the exact motion positions according to the theoretical calculations, the two new improved mining paths for the miner on the seafloor were successfully simulated, thus the turning radius of the miner in the simulation is about 21.8 m, while the distance between the straight-line trajectories before and after the turning is about 5.2 m. The dynamic simulation results preliminarily prove the feasibility of these two new mining paths, and further can provide important theoretical guidance and useful technical reference for the practical tracked miner operation and control on the seafloor.展开更多

The total number of degree of freedom of the structure is condensed through a selection of interface degrees of freedom and significant global mode shapes, for an approximated description of vehicle dynamic behaviour. The methodology is implemented in a customised open-source software to reduce the computational efforts. The modelled tracked vehicle includes the sprung mass, the unsprung masses, connected by means of torsional bars, and all the track assemblies, composing the track chain. The proposed research activity presents a comprehensive investigation of the influence of the track chain, combined with longitudinal vehicle speed, on statics and vehicle dynamics, focusing on vertical dynamics. The vehicle response has been investigated both in frequency and time domain. In this last case road-wheel displacements are assumed as inputs for the model, under different working conditions, hence considering several road profiles with different amplitudes and characteristic excitation frequencies. Simulation results have proven a high fidelity in model order reduction approach and a significant contribution of the track chain in the global dynamic behaviour of the tracked vehicle.展开更多

文摘In order to meet the urgent need of infrared search and track applications for accurate identification and positioning of infrared guidance aircraft,an active-detection mid-wave infrared search and track system(ADMWIRSTS)based on"cat-eye effect"was developed.The ADMWIRSTS mainly consists of both a light beam control subsystem and an infrared search and track subsystem.The light beam control subsystem uses an integrated opto-mechanical two-dimensional pointing mirror to realize the control function of the azimuth and pitch directions of the system,which can cover the whole airspace range of 360°×90°.The infrared search and track subsystem uses two mid-wave infrared cooled 640×512 focal plane detectors for co-aperture beam expanding,infrared and illumination laser beam combining,infrared search,and two-stage track opto-mechanical design.In this work,the system integration design and structural finite-element analysis were conducted,the search imaging and two-stage track imaging for external scenes were performed,and the active-detection technologies were experimentally verified in the laboratory.The experimental investigation results show that the system can realize the infrared search and track imaging,and the accurate identification and positioning of the mid-wave infrared guidance,or infrared detection system through the echo of the illumination laser.The aforementioned work has important technical significance and practical application value for the development of compactly-integrated high-precision infrared search and track,and laser suppression system,and has broad application prospects in the protection of equipment,assets and infrastructures.

文摘Multiple quadrotors target encirclement is widely used in the intelligent field,as it can effectively monitor and control target behavior.However,it faces the danger of collision,as well as difficulties in localization and tracking.Therefore,we propose a complete target encirclement method.Firstly,based on Hooke's law,a collision avoidance controller is designed to maintain a safe flying distance among quadrotors.Then,based on the consensus theory,a formation tracking controller is designed to meet the requirements of formation transformation and encirclement tasks,and a stability proof based on Lyapunov was provided.Besides,the target detection is designed based on YOLOv5s,and the target location model is constructed based on the principle of pinhole projection and triangle similarity.Finally,we conducted experiments on the built platform,with 3 reconnaissance quadrotors detecting and localization 3 target vehicles and 7 hunter quadrotors tracking them.The results show that the minimum average error for localization targets with reconnaissance quadrotors can reach 0.1354 m,while the minimum average error for tracking with hunter quadrotors is only 0.2960 m.No quadrotors collision occurred in the whole formation transformation and tracking experiment.In addition,compared with the advanced methods,the proposed method has better performance.

文摘Laser powder-bed fusion(LPBF)of Zn-0.8Cu(wt.%)alloys exhibits significant advantages in the customization of biodegradable bone implants.However,the formability of LPBFed Zn alloy is not sufficient due to the spheroidization during the interaction of powder and laser beam,of which the mechanism is still not well understood.In this study,the evolution of morphology and grain structure of the LPBFed Zn-Cu alloy was investigated based on single-track deposition experiments.As the scanning speed increases,the grain structure of a single track of Zn-Cu alloy gradually refines,but the formability deteriorates,leading to the defect’s formation in the subsequent fabrication.The Zn-Cu alloys fabricated by optimum processing parameters exhibit a tensile strength of 157.13 MPa,yield strength of 106.48 MPa and elongation of 14.7%.This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the processing optimization of Zn-Cu alloy,achieving LPBFed Zn-Cu alloy with high density and excellent mechanical properties.

文摘The acquisition,tracking,and pointing(ATP)system is widely used in target tracking,counter-UAV operations,and other related fields.As UAV technology develops,there is a growing demand to enhance the tracking capabilities of ATP systems.However,in practical applications,ATP systems face various design constraints and functional limitations,making it infeasible to indefinitely improve hardware performance to meet tracking requirements.As a result,tracking algorithms are required to execute increasingly complex tasks.This study introduces a multi-rate feedforward predictive controller to address issues such as low image feedback frequency and significant delays in ATP systems,which lead to tracking jitter,poor tracking performance,low precision,and target loss.At the same time,the pro-posed approach aims to improve the tracking capabilities of ATP systems for high-speed and highly maneuverable targets under conditions of low sampling feedback rates and high feedback delays.The method suggested is also characterized by its low order,fast response,and robustness to model parameter variations.In this study,an actual ATP system is built for target tracking test,and the proposed algorithm is fully validated in terms of simulation and actual system application verification.Results from both simulations and experiments demonstrate that the method effectively compensates for delays and low sampling rates.For targets with relative angular velocities ranging from 0 to 90°/s and angular accelerations between 0 and 470°/s^(2),the system improved tracking accuracy by 70.0%-89.9%at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz and a delay of 30 m s.Moreover,the compensation algorithm demonstrated consistent performance across actuators with varying characteristics,further confirming its robustness to model insensitivity.In summary,the proposed algorithm considerably enhances the tracking accuracy and capability of ATP systems for high-speed and highly maneuverable targets,reducing the probability of target loss from high speed.This approach offers a practical solution for future multi-target tracking across diverse operational scenarios.
