A connection between linear normal modes and lines of curvature on the potential surface

For the N-degree-of-freedom of linear conservative vibratory systems, the corresponding potential functions can be viewed as N-hypersurfaces in (N + 1)-dimensional space. In this paper, a connection between the geometrical properties (principal curvatures, curvature lines) of potential surfaces and the vibratory characteristics (natural frequencies, linear modes) of the system is built. It is proved that the linear normal modes are exactly the projections of the lines of curvature on the potential surface onto the configuration space with metric m_ij (the mass-matrix); and that the squared natural frequencies are exactly the principal curvatures, at the origin of the configuration space, of the potential surface.     

光机械式红外探测器中镜面弯曲对探测灵敏度的影响(英文)

光学读出式红外成像技术是近年来研究的热点,本文讨论了镜面弯曲对光学检测灵敏度的影响。由双材料微悬臂梁组成的非致冷焦平面阵列通过体刻蚀工艺加工而成,由于残余应力的影响,制成的焦平面阵列将会发生弯曲,应力导致的镜面弯曲将会降低光学探测灵敏度。本文通过傅立叶光学模拟了镜面弯曲对光学探测灵敏度的影响,并通过实验验证了该模型。实验和模拟结果表明,在镜面曲率为0 .1mm-1时,光学探测灵敏度将会降低到理想情况的40 %。最后我们用这个模型评价了通过表面修饰来提高光学性能的效果。     

基于Gibbs矢量估计卫星轨道姿态的滤波算法研究

针对“矢量观测 陀螺”这种典型的三轴稳定卫星姿态确定系统模式,引入具有四元数优越性的Gibbs矢量作为姿态参数,提出了一种新的具有良好实时性能的轨道姿态估计方案。在方案设计中,为描述卫星轨道姿态的Gibbs矢量,推导出了基于四元数的运动学方程,并将QUEST法作为处理多矢量观测信息的压缩技术引入估计器,使得滤波修正算法得以简化。另外,针对单矢量观测情况,给出了能够加快状态估值收敛速度的改进协方差修正算法。仿真结果验证,新方案的姿态估计精度与传统的欧拉角估计法相当,而运算效率却明显高于欧拉角估计法。     

A STRESS VECTOR-BASED CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR COHESIONLESS SOIL (Ⅱ)-APPLICATION

The stress vector-based constitutive model for cohesionless soil, proposed by SHI Hong-yan et al., was applied to analyze the deformation behaviors of materials subjected to various stress paths. The result of analysis shows that the constitutive model can capture well the main deformation behavior of cohesionless soil, such as stress-strain nonlinearity, hardening property, dilatancy, stress path dependency, non-coaxiality between the principal stress and the principal strain increment directions, and the coupling of mean effective and deviatoric stress with deformation. In addition, the model can also take into account the rotation of principal stress axes and the influence of intermediate principal stress on deformation and strength of soil simultaneously. The excellent agreement between the predicted and measured behavior indicates the comprehensive applicability of the model. Biography: SHI Hong-yan (1962-), Associate Professor, Doctor

On Weitzenböck curvature operators

The Weitzenböck curvature operators are the curvature terms of order zero that appear in the well‐known classical Weitzenböck formula. In this paper, we use the formalism of double forms to prove a simple formula for these operators and to study their geometric properties.     

The existence of light‐like homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds

In previous papers, a fundamental affine method for studying homogeneous geodesics was developed. Using this method and elementary differential topology it was proved that any homogeneous affine manifold and in particular any homogeneous pseudo‐Riemannian manifold admits a homogeneous geodesic through arbitrary point. In the present paper this affine method is refined and adapted to the pseudo‐Riemannian case. Using this method and elementary topology it is proved that any homogeneous Lorentzian manifold of even dimension admits a light‐like homogeneous geodesic. The method is illustrated in detail with an example of the Lie group of dimension 3 with an invariant metric, which does not admit any light‐like homogeneous geodesic.     

A class of Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature

It is known that every locally projectively flat Finsler metric is of scalar flag curvature. Conversely, it may not be true. In this paper, for a certain class of Finsler metrics, we prove that it is locally projectively flat if and only if it is of scalar flag curvature. Moreover, we establish a class of new non-trivial examples.
