Firstly, the deviation data of engine cruise are analyzed. Then, model selection is conducted using pattern search method. Finally, by decoding aircraft communication addressing and reporting system (ACARS) report, a real-time cruise data set is acquired, and the diagnosis model is adopted to process data. In contrast to the radial basis function (RBF) neutral network, LS-SVM is more suitable for real-time diagnosis of gas turbine engine.展开更多

The spatial sensitivity and filtering effect are two important performance parameters. In this paper, an analytically mathematical model of induced charge on a circular thin-plate electrode is first derived. Then the spatial sensitivity and filtering effect of the circular electrostatic sensor are investigated by numerical calculations. Finally,experimental studies are performed to testify the theoretical results. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors act as a low-pass filter in the spatial frequency domain, and both the spatial filtering effect and the temporal frequency response characteristics depend strongly on the spatial position and velocity of the charged particle. These conclusions can provide guidelines for the optimal design of circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors.展开更多

First, analogy is drawn between a deformation model and the Ideal Gas Law. The use of strain as a variable in deformation models is discussed, and whether strain serves as an internal state variable is considered. A simple experiment that demonstrated path dependence in copper is described. The importance of defining appropriate internal state variables for a constitutive law relates to the ability to accurately model temperature and strain-rate dependencies in deformation simulations.展开更多

In this contactor solid particles slide down along the inclined perforated plates by the upflowing gas. This structure, called as 'z path moving bed', has some of the advantages of both moving and fluidized beds. The discharge rate of solid particles, inclination angle of the perforated plate, aperture ratio of the perforated plate, size of particles and gas velocity were chosen as parameters for experimental conditions. The stable operation conditions were certained for the particles and apparatus used. The pressure drop, bed height and residence time distribution of particles were measured versus gas velocity.展开更多

A Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization(QPSO) algorithm is applied to obtain engine inputs adjustments, which contribute to construct off-line performance accommodation interpolation schedules. With a double closed-loop control system structure, command control is corrected based on real-time fault diagnostic results. Simulations indicate that fault tolerant control could reduce thrust and stall margin loss effectively in gas path faults.展开更多

Due to structural over-lapping and the resultant rapid burial, the maturity of the source rocks had been increased rapidly from 1.3 to 2.5% Ro within 2.3 Ma, with an average rate of Ro increase up to 0.539% Ro/Ma. The rapid matura-tion of the source rocks had provided sufficient gases for late-stage gas accumulation. The kelasu structural belt has a variety of faults, but only the fault that related with fault propagation fold and cut through the gypsiferous mudstone cap could act as the main path for overpressured fluid release and then for fast gas accumulation in low fluid potential area. All the evidence from surface structure map, seismic profile explanation, authigenic kaolinite and reservoir property demonstrates that the main drain path related with faults for overpressured fluid and the converging conduit system are the key point for the formation of the giant Kela 2 gas field. By contrast, the Kela 1 and Kela 3 structures lo-cated on both sides of Kela 2 structure, are not favourable for gas accumulation due to lacking con-verging conduit system.展开更多
