连续旋转的光纤陀螺全温失准角快速建模与补偿方法

在全温范围内应用的光纤陀螺,其输入轴失准角随温度的变化是影响光纤陀螺惯性系统性能的重要指标之一。特别是在大角速率或者高精度应用时,失准角的变化误差甚至超过零偏漂移误差和标度因数误差。采用温度补偿技术是一种提升光纤陀螺温度性能的有效方法,其中建立精确的温度模型是关键。提出了一种连续旋转的光纤陀螺全温失准角快速建模补偿方法。基于单轴速率转台的连续旋转,可以有效识别光纤陀螺失准角在全温范围内的变化拐点,提高建模和补偿的精度。试验结果表明,某型光纤陀螺全温输入轴失准角变化约14″,补偿后全温输入轴失准角变化小于1″,精度提高了一个数量级以上。在高精度光纤陀螺惯性系统中,该方法可用于指导光纤陀螺失准角的实时温度补偿技术研究及工程实现。     

A direct representation of the rotation tensor in polar decomposition of deformation gradient and its applications

Through a variational approach, an explicit connection between the additive and the polar decompositions of deformation gradient has been established. An exact formula for determining the rotation tensor in polar decomposition is obtained. The formula is fundamental in continuum mechanics and can be used to separate the rotation and the pure strain in deformation, by which various approximate expressions can be easily obtained.     

基于加速度计的单轴旋转自主式寻北方法

基于加速度计的无陀螺寻北方法是无陀螺惯性导航必须解决的关键问题。目前加速度计的分辨率无法直接敏感地球自转北向分量,文中设计了一种基于定轴旋转的自主式寻北模型。通过将地球自转北向分量加载在载体旋转角速度上,实现加速度计间接敏感地球自转北向分量,从而进行寻北的功能。该模型可以实现载体任意状态下的寻北功能,并精确解算载体姿态。分析了影响寻北精度和姿态解算精度的几个主要因素。仿真结果表明:加速度计的分辨率和信号采集精度是决定模型寻北精度和和姿态解算精度的关键要素。当加速度计分辨率为5×10-6g,信号采集精度为9mV时,其寻北和姿态解算精度可以达到0.20。

On several new methods to polar decomposition computation

In this paper, the polar decomposition of a deformation gradient tensor is analyzed in detail. The four new methods for polar decomposition computation are given: (1) the iterated method, (2) the principal invariant's method, (3) the principal rotation axis's method, (4) the coordinate transformation's method. The iterated method makes it possible to establish the nonlinear finite element method based on polar decomposition. Furthermore, the material time derivatives of the stretch tensor and the rotation tensor are obtained by explicit and simple expressions.

Derivatives and Rates of the Stretch and Rotation Tensors

General expressions for the derivatives and rates of the stretch and rotation tensors with respect to the deformation gradient are derived. They are both specialized to some of the formulas already available in the literature and used to derive some new ones, in three and two dimensions. Essential ingredients of the treatment are basic elements of differential calculus for tensor valued functions of tensors and recently derived results on the solution of the tensor equation A X + XA= H in the unknown X.

Asymptotic solutions of the flow of a Johnson-Segalman fluid through a slowly varying pipe using double perturbation strategy

A double perturbation strategy is presented to solve the asymptotic solutions of a Johnson-Segalman (J-S) fluid through a slowly varying pipe. First, a small parameter of the slowly varying angle is taken as the small perturbation parameter, and then the second-order asymptotic solution of the flow of a Newtonian fluid through a slowly varying pipe is obtained in the first perturbation strategy. Second, the viscoelastic parameter is selected as the small perturbation parameter in the second perturbation strategy to solve the asymptotic solution of the flow of a J-S fluid through a slowly varying pipe. Finally, the parameter effects, including the axial distance, the slowly varying angle, and the Reynolds number, on the velocity distributions are analyzed. The results show that the increases in both the axial distance and the slowly varying angle make the axial velocity slow down. However, the radial velocity increases with the slowly varying angle, and decreases with the axial distance. There are two special positions in the distribution curves of the axial velocity and the radial velocity with different Reynolds numbers, and there are different trends on both sides of the special positions. The double perturbation strategy is applicable to such problems with the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid through a slowly varying pipe.

The symmetry approximation for nonsymmetric permeability tensors and its consequences for mass transport

It is well known that the permeability has a tensor character. In practical applications, this is accounted for by the introduction of three principal permeabilities — three scalars — and three mutually orthogonal principal axes. In this paper, it is investigated whether this is always the exact way of describing anisotropy and, if not, what the consequences of the principal axes approximation are for flow and transport. First, it is shown that spatial upscaling may result in nonsymmetric large-scale permeability tensors, for which principal axes do not exist. However, it is possible to define generalized principal axes: three principal axes for the flux and three for the pressure gradient, with only three principal permeabilities. Since nonsymmetric permeability tensors are undesirable in practical applications, an approximation method making the nonsymmetric permeability symmetric is introduced. The important conclusion is then that the exact large-scale flux and large-scale pressure gradient do not have the same directions as the approximate flux and approximate pressure gradient. A practical consequence is that the principal axes approximation results in a difference between flux and transport direction. When considering miscible displacement or transport of mass dissolved in groundwater, the velocity component normal to the flux direction may be considered as a contribution to the transverse macro dispersion.

The wetting problem of fluids on solid surfaces. Part 2: the contact angle hysteresis

In part 1 (Gouin, [13]), we proposed a model of dynamics of wetting for slow movements near a contact line formed at the interface of two immiscible fluids and a solid when viscous dissipation remains bounded. The contact line is not a material line and a Young-Dupré equation for the apparent dynamic contact angle taking into account the line celerity was proposed. In this paper we consider a form of the interfacial energy of a solid surface in which many small oscillations are superposed on a slowly varying function. For a capillary tube, a scaling analysis of the microscopic law associated with the Young-Dupré dynamic equation yields a macroscopic equation for the motion of the contact line. The value of the deduced apparent dynamic contact angle yields for the average response of the line motion a phenomenon akin to the stick-slip motion of the contact line on the solid wall. The contact angle hysteresis phenomenon and the modelling of experimentally well-known results expressing the dependence of the apparent dynamic contact angle on the celerity of the line are obtained. Furthermore, a qualitative explanation of the maximum speed of wetting (and dewetting) can be given.Received: 5 June 2001, Accepted: 24 May 2003, Published online: 29 July 2003PACS: 02.90, 47.50, 66.20, 68.03, 68.08     

An approach to approximate analysis of deformation and strain

An approach to approximate analysis of deformation and strain is developed from recent work on Cauchy mean rotation [1,2]. The approximate expressions of Green strain usually employed in solving problems of nonlinear mechanics and their errors are discussed. The estimation of error is strictly based on the definition of small strain and medium or large rotation.     

Flow due to non-coaxial rotation of a porous disk and a second grade fluid rotating at infinity

An exact solution for the three-dimensional flow due to non-coaxial rotation of a porous disk and a second grade fluid at infinity is obtained. It is shown that for uniform suction or uniform blowing at the disk, an asymptotic profile exists for the velocity distribution. The velocity depends on two parameters: one of them is the suction parameter or blowing parameter and the other is the visco-elastic parameter. Furthermore, it is found that when the value of the visco-elastic parameter is fixed, the velocity decreases with an increase in the value of the suction parameter and when the value of the suction parameter is fixed, the velocity increases with an increase in the value of the visco-elastic parameter.
