Dynamic Observation of Bainite Transformation in a Fe-C-Mn-Si Superbainite Steel

The dynamic observations of bainitic transformation in a Fe-C-Mn-Si superbainite steel were conducted on a high temperature laser scanning confocal microscope. It is indicated that the mutual intersection of bainite sheaves often occurs during growth of bainite ferrite, resulting in an interlocked bainite microstructure. Moreover, bainite transformation is promoted by higher austenization temperature and the longer and finer bainite platelets are obtained. Further, The average growth rate of bainite after austenization at 1 100 ℃ is calculated as 5.8 μm·s -1. In situ observation investigation makes it possible to identify bainite transformation in real time during isothermal holding.

Observation of Atomic Dynamic Behaviors in the Evaporative Cooling by In-Situ Imaging the Plugged Hole of Ultracold Atoms

We experimentally observe the dynamic evolution of atoms in the evaporative cooling, by in-situ imaging the plugged hole of ultracold atoms. Ultracold rubidium atoms confined in a magnetic trap are plugged using a blue-detuned laser beam with a waist of 20 m at a wavelength of 767 nm. We probe the variation of the atomic temperature and width versus the radio frequency in the evaporative cooling. Both the behaviors are in good agreement with the calculation of the trapping potential dressed by the rf signal above the threshold temperature,while deviating from the calculation near the phase transition. To accurately obtain the atomic width, we use the plugged hole as the reference to optimize the optical imaging system by precisely minimizing the artificial structures due to the defocus effect.

A new method for dynamic inversion of anisotropic equations

A new dynamic inversion method, which can simultaneously use many waves and multicomponent observation data and is suitable for directly inversing elastic parameters and density of media or wave velocities, is developed based on dynamic equations in anisotropic media. Because full wave field information is utilized as much as possible in the method, the inversion results are more reliable than that of kinematic inversion. Based on the qSH wave equation in the transversely isotropic medium and started from different initial models, seismic wave velocities are inversed by using this method, so that the validity of the method is affirmed and its suitable range is obtained. It shows that the inversion results are still very precise when the perturbational deviation of initial model parameters arrives to 12.3 percent. Besides, vectorized and parallelized calculations of the method can be easily implemented because of its special construction.

A first-order dynamical model of hierarchical triple stars and its application

For most hierarchical triple stars, the classical double two-body model of zeroth-order cannot describe the motions of the components under the current observational accuracy. In this paper, Marchal＇s first-order analytical solution is implemented and a more efficient simplified version is applied to real triple stars. The results show that, for most triple stars, the proposed first-order model is preferable to the zerothorder model both in fitting observational data and in predicting component positions.

BTT autopilot design for agile missiles with aerodynamic uncertainty

The approach to the synthesis of autopilot with aerody- namic uncertainty is investigated in order to achieve large maneu- verability of agile missiles. The dynamics of the agile missile with reaction-jet control system （RCS） are presented. Subsequently, the cascade control scheme based on the bank-to-turn （B-I-T） steering technique is described. To address the aerodynamic un- certainties encountered by the control system, the active distur- bance rejection control （ADRC） method is introduced in the autopi- lot design. Furthermore, a compound controller, using extended state observer （ESO） to online estimate system uncertainties and calculate derivative of command signals, is designed based on dynamic surface control （DSC）. Nonlinear simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed approach and validate the robust- ness of the controller with severe unmodeled dynamics.

Dynamic observer-based controllers for linear uncertain systems

This paper addresses robust controller design for uncertain linear systems via a dynamic observer-based controller. A dynamic observer is an alternative structure for a classical observer which can be regarded as a general form of a usual observer and has additional degrees of freedom in the observer structure. Using this new observer structure, a new observer-based controller for linear systems is proposed. Some strict linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） have been given to find the dynamic observer parameters and controller gain. It is shown that dynamic observer can be used effectively for tackling the drawbacks of the classical observer-based robust controller design methods. As an advantage, LMIs are derived even in the presence of uncertainties in system, input and output matrices simultaneously, whereas by using the traditional observer, bilinear matrix inequalities （BMIs） are given in the presence of such uncertainties. Moreover, the proposed LMIs do not imply the equality constraint. Simulation results are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design technique.

High spatial and temporal resolution synthetic aperture phase microscopy

A new optical microscopy technique,termed high spatial and temporal resolution synthetic aperture phase microscopy(HISTR-SAPM),is proposed to improve the lateral resolution of wide-field coherent imaging.Under plane wave illumination,the resolution is increased by twofold to around 260 nm,while achieving millisecond-level temporal resolution.In HISTR-SAPM,digital micromirror devices are used to actively change the sample illumination beam angle at high speed with high stability.An off-axis interferometer is used to measure the sample scattered complex fields,which are then processed to reconstruct high-resolution phase images.Using HISTR-SAPM,we are able to map the height profiles of subwavelength photonic structures and resolve the period structures that have 198 nm linewidth and 132 nm gap(i.e.,a full pitch of 330 nm).As the reconstruction averages out laser speckle noise while maintaining high temporal resolution,HISTR-SAPM further enables imaging and quantification of nanoscale dynamics of live cells,such as red blood cell membrane fluctuations and subcellular structure dynamics within nucleated cells.We envision that HISTR-SAPM will broadly benefit research in material science and biology.

Observer-based adaptive sliding mode backstepping output-feedback DSC for spin-stabilized canard-controlled projectiles

This article presents a complete nonlinear controller design for a class of spin-stabilized canard-controlled projectiles.Uniformly ultimate boundedness and tracking are achieved,exploiting a heavily coupled,bounded uncertain and highly nonlinear model of longitudinal and lateral dynamics.In order to estimate unmeasurable states,an observer is proposed for an augmented multiple-input-multiple-output（MIMO） nonlinear system with an adaptive sliding mode term against the disturbances.Under the frame of a backstepping design,an adaptive sliding mode output-feedback dynamic surface control（DSC） approach is derived recursively by virtue of the estimated states.The DSC technique is adopted to overcome the problem of ‘‘explosion of complexity＂ and relieve the stress of the guidance loop.It is proven that all signals of the MIMO closed-loop system,including the observer and controller,are uniformly ultimately bounded,and the tracking errors converge to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the origin.Simulation results for the observer and controller are provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Detection of Impending Vehicle Rollover with Road Bank Angle Consideration Using a Robust Fuzzy Observer

This article describes a method of vehicle dynamics estimation for impending rollover detection. We estimate vehicle dynamic states in presence of the road bank angle as a disturbance in the vehicle model using a robust observer. The estimated roll angle and roll rate are used to compute the rollover index which is based on the prediction of the lateral load transfer. In order to anticipate rollover detection, a new method is proposed to compute the time to rollover(TTR) using the load transfer ratio(LTR). The nonlinear model, deduced from the vehicle lateral and roll dynamics, is represented by a Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model. This representation is used to account for the nonlinearities of lateral cornering forces. The proposed T-S observer is designed with unmeasurable premise variables to cater for non-availability of the slip angles measurement. The proposed approach is evaluated using Car Sim simulator under different driving scenarios. Simulation results show good efficiency of the proposed T-S observer and the rollover detection method.
