Radar Cross Section Prediction and Reduction for Naval Ships

Radar cross section（RCS） is the measurement of the reflective strength of a target.Reducing the RCS of a naval ship enables its late detection,which is useful for capitalizing on elements of surprise and initiative.Thus,the RCS of a naval ship has become a very important design factor for achieving surprise,initiative,and survivability.Consequently,accurate RCS determination and RCS reduction are of extreme importance for a naval ship.The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the theoretical background and engineering approach to deal with RCS prediction and reduction for naval ships.The importance of RCS,radar fundamentals,RCS basics,RCS prediction methods,and RCS reduction methods for naval ships is also discussed.

Hoist technology of a new agile naval gun shell-feeding system

Shell-feeding velocity is an important factor affecting naval gun shooting capacity. An agile shell-feeding system was designed to ensure quick implementation of the shell-feeding task. Based on composition of the agile shell-feeding system, hoist technology was studied. Working principles were discussed and the hydraulic pressure system of the hoist was constructed. The hydraulic pressure cylinder and the accumulator were analyzed and calculated. Finally, PRO/E and ADAMS were used to simulate the hoist and its hydraulic system. It was found that this type of virtual prototype provides a good method to actualize a physical prototype.

Numerical research on dynamic response of naval equipments subjected to impact loads

When subjected to underwater explosion,the anti-shock performance of naval equipment is a key factor affecting the fighting capacity and safety of a war ship. For large-scale naval equipment,it is costly to do the shock test for its huge mass and large size. Consequently,the numerical research was carried our to study the shock resistance of the equipment. Taking turbo-charger set for example,its anti-shock performance was studied using software ABAQUS based on the time-domain shock analysis method presented in BV043 /85. According to the analysis results,shock response of typical regions is obtained,some regularity curves are concluded by analyzing the Mises stress of the typical regions,and the weak regions are found out. The study can provide some references on design of turbo-charger set.

Design and analysis of a scheme for the naval gun test shell entering the bore

The test shell without projectile belt is widely used in the teaching,inspection and maintenance of modern automatic naval guns.In order to ensure the normal work of each mechanism,it is very important to design the buffer and limit of the test shell during the process of entering the bore.Taking a certain type of medium caliber naval gun as the research object,the design of colloidal fluid damper and cartridge lock was proposed to ensure the reliability of entering the bore and closing the breechblock.By combining the simulation methods of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)and multibody system dynamic(MBD),it was analyzed whether the structural design can meet the engineering requirements.The research results show that the colloidal fluid damper can dissipate a large amount of kinetic energy of the shell,and the cartridge lock can limit the rebound movement.The combination of the two ensures the smooth process of closing the breechblock.The research provides a design method for the process of the test shell entering the bore,and provides theoretical support for the feasibility of the method.

Naval derusting wastewater containing high concentration of iron, treated in UV photo-Fenton-like oxidation

The UV photooxidation with Fe（Ⅲ） and H2O2 was employed to treat a naval derusting wastewater, which contains the high COD （chemical oxygen demand） and various metal concentrations exceptionally with high concentrations of citric acid and iron. Because of its iron containment, the Fenton-like reaction automatically took place with the added amount of H2O2. The decomposition rate was found in a sequence of： UV/HEOE/Fe（Ⅲ） 〉 UV/H2O2 〉 Fe（Ⅱ）/H2O2. Two H2O2 injection methods, single and multiple points, were evaluated. The multiple-point H2O2 injection was more efficient to decompose the citric acid. The decomposition of the synthetic citric acid and the real derusting citric acid wastewater was also compared. The 93% COD reduction of the derusting wastewater was achieved using the UV/HEOE/Fe（Ⅲ） treatment.

Fatigue Behaviour of Naval Steel Under Seawater Environmental and Variable Loading Conditions

The way to characterize the behaviour of a naval steel grade E36 subjected to the corrosive fatigue process is investigated. The tests were carried out by bending fatigue of plate specimens with thickness of 10 mm in the corrosive environment consisting of an aqueous solution of 3.5% of NaCl which is similar to seawater. Experimental results show that the principal mechanism of degradation of the superficial layer is based on the pit evolution,evidenced by electrochemical,micro and macro structural timely changes such as evolution of electrode potential,evolution of current density,polarization resistance,anodic and cathodic parameters,and dislocation density evolution.

Thermal forming properties of a Cr-Mn-Si-Ni alloyed naval steel under different forming conditions by different constitutive models

A series of thermal compression tests on a CrMn-Si-Ni alloyed naval steel were carried out at different strain rates(0.0005-0.0100 s^(-1)) at different temperatures(1023-1173 K).Based on the friction-corrected data obtained from the compression tests,strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive(SCAC) and backpropagation artificial neural network(BP-ANN) models with the optimized structure of the Cr-Mn-Si-Ni alloyed naval steel were established.The optimized BP-ANN model,where the operation time and overfitting of BP-ANN were shortened and avoided,respectively,exhibited improved predictive performance.The two models were assessed further in terms of the correlation coefficient(R),average absolute relative error,and root mean square error.The results validated that the optimized BP-ANN model predicted the flow behavior of the Cr-Mn-Si-Ni alloyed naval steel better than the SC AC model.The effect of the forming temperature and strain rate on the microstructural evolution behavior of the naval steel during thermoplastic deformation was investigated through the electron backscatter diffraction analysis of the compressed samples.It was observed that the dynamic recrystallization of the naval steel was promoted by an increase in the forming temperature and a decrease in the strain rate during thermoplastic deformation.
