Thus, it is very important to realize an intelligent recognition for the guidance behavior of the pursuing vehicle. Reinforced learning has the ability to achieve such an intelligent action. Among different approaches of reinforced learning, Temporal-Difference method uses a combinatory estimation from different temporal steps to determine the value function of an output policy, thus it statistically costs less training time than the Monte Carlo method. To use Temporal-Difference method to study the evader-pursuit problem, it is necessary to map a continuous state space into a limited number of discrete states. With the application of Temporal-Difference reinforced learning to the problem, an ordinal position based nonlinear normalization method is proposed to convert the continuous state vector and control vector into a discrete form, such that a new method called augmented Temporal-Difference reinforced learning method is created. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this augmented temporal difference method.","PeriodicalId":161846,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132007130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an optimal control approach based on multiple impulses for in-plane satellite formation reconfiguration in near circular orbit. A new type of relative orbit motion equation is established based on the initial small deviation in the cylindrical coordinates system in this paper, which is suitable to calculate the solution of relative orbital maneuver by means of multiple impulses. The formation reconfiguration problem is investigated on account of the relative orbit motion, and the orbital motion equations with initial deviations are presented. The formation reconfiguration problem in orbital plane is discussed and analyzed selectively. An optimal three-impulsive approach for relative orbital transfer in plane is obtained by analysis solution based on graphical and numerical way, which is achieved by the combination method from four-impulsive solution. And the method is proved to be effectivity and optimality.","PeriodicalId":161846,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126915460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researches have been conducted on tool wear in high nickel alloy cutting. Conventionally, when cutting a work material with poor thermal conductivity, it is effective to decrease the cutting speed, prolong the tool life, and use a tool material with high thermal conductivity. High-pressure coolant cutting is effective for reducing the cutting temperature, and many studies on high-pressure coolant cutting have been conducted. In this study, super heat-resistant alloy Inconel 718 was screw thread turned with high-pressure coolant supply, and the tool wear was experimentally investigated. The cutting materials used was an un-coated ISO K10 cemented carbide. The \"VNl,\" \"VC\" and \"VNr\" were measured, where the \"VNl,\" \"VC\" and \"VNr\" were the maximum values of flank wear widths on the left side of the flank face, on the corner side of the flank face and on the right side of the flank face, respectively. The following results were obtained: (1) In the case of a cutting speed of 1.00 m/s, fracture of cutting part was observed in the conventional coolant supply. It was possible to suppress the tool wear with pressure coolant supply. (2) In the case of a cutting speed of 1.00 m/s, comparing the \"VNr,\" \"VC \" and \"VNl,\" \"VC\" was the smallest at any coolant pressure, and the \"VC\" decreased with the increase of the coolant pressure \"P.\" Furthermore, the \"VNr\" and \"VNl\" decreased with the increase of the coolant pressure.

The effects of variation of the linkage flux and the mutual inductances caused by the motion/deformation of the conductor were considered. So the two-way coupled electromagnetic–mechanical simulation can be achieved. The distribution of the eddy current and the magnetic flux densities can be predicted with the model.

Using surface-mounted permanent magnet (PM) rotors manufactured from rare earth metals, they provide benefits over their mechanical transmission counterparts. However, these PMs have low tensile strength and are prone to failure under large centrifugal loads when rotating. The ability to predict these stresses is extremely important to rotor design. A novel stress analysis theory for three-cylinder rotors has been developed using generalised plane strain (GPS) theory but remains complex and inefficient to use to manually design rotors. The mechanical optimisation of rotor design has not been widely explored in literature and has not been completed using the GPS theory for three-cylinder rotors. This paper utilises the GPS theory to produce an automatic optimisation tool for the mechanical design of three-cylinder PM rotors.","PeriodicalId":161846,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129903028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that each configuration can improve its stability margin while ensuring the efficiency of the rotor. Among them, the suction side trailing edge winglet has the best stabilization effect, and the margin improvement can reach 4.93%; the pressure side leading edge winglet has the worst stabilization effect, and the margin improvement is 4.5%; the stabilization effect of the pressure side trailing edge winglet and the suction side leading edge winglet is between the two. It is revealed that, to improve the stability margin of the rotor, the leading edge winglet inhibits the separation of the boundary layer, while the trailing edge winglet controls the accumulation of low-velocity fluid in the passage by weakening the degree of leakage vortex breakdown.","PeriodicalId":161846,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128260143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
