This method aims to quantify and standardize the control allocation design process and accommodate various complex optimization objectives, including minimizing the control surface deflection angle, yaw-to-roll control coupling, and transient control loads on the nacelle tilt axis and rotor hub. The results show that the ECS allocation method specifically mitigates control coupling effects and transient peak responses in the nacelle tilt-axis and rotor hub moments while maintaining equal control sensitivity within the conversion corridor. In addition, the ECS allocation method has a significant advantage in reducing the variation range and dispersion of gain scheduling in feedback loops as it enables a smooth transition from helicopter mode to airplane mode using fixed control gains, while demonstrating good disturbance rejection capabilities.

This makes reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) under the prescribed target reliability index particularly relevant for practical applications. However, solving complex nonlinear RBDO problems often involves nested double-loop optimization, leading to prohibitive computational costs and potential convergence issues. To address these challenges, this study proposes a minimum performance measure-based hybrid single-loop approach (TSPM-AK-HSLA) that integrates target beta-hypersphere sampling and active learning Kriging. First, a novel sampling strategy combining target beta-hypersphere and local enhancement is introduced to accurately identify the minimum performance target point (MPTP) without requiring gradient calculations or iterative search direction adjustments. Second, an identification criterion for the active constraint is incorporated to determine whether the Kriging model needs updating within the local region around the approximate MPTP, thereby focusing sampling efforts for improved efficiency. Finally, an adaptive strategy is employed to implement the hybrid single-loop approach, accelerating convergence while maintaining robustness for nonlinear problems. Comparative analyses with existing methods, along with two numerical MPTP search examples and two nonlinear RBDO examples demonstrate the superior efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach. The RBDO application for an engineering clamping mechanism of the aircraft engine guides the design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50955,"journal":{"name":"Aerospace Science and Technology","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 110136"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicate that wing asymmetry reduces lift due to a diminished fuselage upwash effect, with asymmetric wings generating lower lift than symmetric configurations. In longitudinal dynamics, asymmetric wings reduce both static and dynamic stability, with the phugoid mode being particularly sensitive to wing asymmetry. Conversely, in lateral-directional dynamics, wing asymmetry improves the stability of roll subsidence, Dutch roll, and spiral modes compared to symmetric configurations. This study systematically analyzes the impact of wing asymmetry on both aerodynamic performance and flight dynamics of sweep-morphing aircraft, providing new insights into stability characteristics and control requirements.

The results indicate that the electric field enhances the mobility of Al atoms and reduces the activation energy, leading to a particle acceleration effect that boosts the burning rate and shortens the reaction time. As the electric field strength increases, the O/Al ratio of the final products approaches the theoretical value of 1.5 for complete combustion, and the number of intermediate species increases, indicating more thorough and intense Al combustion. Specifically, the electric field induces the generation of more free radicals during the reaction and reduces the average distance between Al and O atoms, thereby increasing atomic collision rates and contact frequency, further facilitating Al combustion. Under a strong electric field of 0.01V/Å, the electric field disrupts the original force equilibrium of Al atoms, leading to Al atoms escape and the gradual fragmentation of Al particles. Experimental studies on the electric field regulation of single Al particle combustion reveal that the reaction time is reduced by approximately 40 % under an electric field. Additionally, the combustion flame becomes larger and brighter, verifying that the electric field promotes the combustion of single Al particles. Under a high-voltage electric field of 5 kV, fragmentation of Al is observed during the combustion process.
