Solar sail chaotic pitch dynamics and its control in Earth orbits

The attitude dynamics and control for solar sail orbiting a celestial body (e.g., the Earth) are critical for the space missions. In the paper, the pitch dynamics is addressed by considering the torques by the center-of-mass and center-of-pressure offset, the gravity gradient, the internal damping and the control vane. The chaotic pitch motion is analytically detected for the sailcraft in the circular and elliptical orbits with small eccentricities using the Melnikov’s method. The validity of the Melnikov method is numerically verified by checking the Poincare surface of section and the power spectral density. The stability criterion method with some improvements is utilized to stabilize the chaotic pitch motion onto the reference unstable periodic motion embedded in the chaotic attractor. The reference unstable periodic motion is obtained based on the calculation of the close return pairs. The small control input torques and the stabilization effects are presented, and the advantages of the modified stabilization method are clarified based on the numerical simulations.     

A meso elastoplastic constitutive model for polycrystalline metals based on equivalent slip systems with latent hardening

A meso material model for polycrystalline metals is proposed, in which the tiny slip systems distributing randomly between crystal slices in micro-grains or on grain boundaries are replaced by macro equivalent slip systems determined by the work-conjugate principle. The elastoplastic constitutive equation of this model is formulated for the active hardening, latent hardening and Bauschinger effect to predict macro elastoplastic stress-strain responses of polycrystalline metals under complex loading conditions. The influence of the material property parameters on size and shape of the subsequent yield surfaces is numerically investigated to demonstrate the fundamental features of the proposed material model. The derived constitutive equation is proved accurate and efficient in numerical analysis. Compared with the self-consistent theories with crystal grains as their basic components, the present theory is much simpler in mathematical treatment.

3-D network model and its parameter calibration

A material model, whose framework is parallel spring-bundles oriented in 3-D space, is proposed. Based on a discussion of the discrete schemes and optimum discretization of the solid angles, a 3-D network cell consisted of one-dimensional components is developed with its geometrical and physical parameters calibrated. It is proved that the 3-D network model is able to exactly simulate materials with arbitrary Poisson ratio from 0 to 1/2, breaking through the limit that the previous models in the literature are only suitable for materials with Poisson ratio from 0 to 1/3. A simplified model is also proposed to realize high computation accuracy within low computation cost. Examples demonstrate that the 3-D network model has particular superiority in the simulation of short-fiber reinforced composites.     

一种新的应力率定义

本文研究客观应力率的定义及表示,在放弃了客观应力率形式上的对称性以后定义了一类广义的非对称的客观应力率。从Cauchy应力原理出发,通过构造应力向量形式上和变形及变形率无关的客观导数,得到两种形式的应力率;它们表示作用在参考构形中单位物质面元应力向量的真实变化,这样就消除了应力率定义中的不确定性。用新应力率对次弹性体简单剪切进行了计算,得到的应力不振荡,且满足超弹性正应力-剪应力普适关系。

On band gaps of nonlocal acoustic lattice metamaterials: a robust strain gradient model

We have proposed an “exact” strain gradient(SG) continuum model to properly predict the dispersive characteristics of diatomic lattice metamaterials with local and nonlocal interactions. The key enhancement is proposing a wavelength-dependent Taylor expansion to obtain a satisfactory accuracy when the wavelength gets close to the lattice spacing. Such a wavelength-dependent Taylor expansion is applied to the displacement field of the diatomic lattice, resulting in a novel SG model. For various k...
