    • An Analysis of Interaction on Tire-Wet Pavement under Aircraft Dynamic Load
      CAI Jing1;2; SHEN Zhe1; ZHOU Ning1; LI Yue1; FAN Yifei1

      Abstract:Based on the dynamic coupling simulation model of landing gear-tire-wet pavement in consideration of the influence of pavement flatness, the time history curves of tire wheel cardiac displacement at take-off and landing stages are obtained. On this basis, the finite element software is used to simulate and analyze the variation law of supporting force, contact area and displacement resistance of accumulated pavement under dynamic load at landing and takeoff stages, obtaining the dynamic load influence coefficient of critical hydroplaning speed under dynamic load. The results show that the pavement support force, contact area between tire and pavement, displacement resistance and critical hydroplaning speed are all lower than those under static load at take-off and landing stages. At take-off stage, the difference between pavement support force of dynamic and static load is small, the displacement resistance decreases by 0.3~3 kN compared with the static load, and the critical hydroplaning speed decreases within 5.5 km/h; At landing stage, the pavement support force is reduced by 5%~10% compared with the static load, and the corresponding displacement resistance is reduced to the maximum by 50%. The critical hydroplaning speed changes sharply, and the difference is between 5 and 9 km/h. Based on the above-mentioned change law of critical hydroplaning speed, the ratio of critical hydroplaning speed of dynamic and static load is defined as the influence coefficient of dynamic load, and the value of this coefficient is a range from 0.95 to 0.99 under different taxiing conditions; In view of the fact that the critical hydroplaning speed of the aircraft decreases greatly during the landing stage and the hydroplaning risk is higher, the dynamic load influence coefficient is taken as 0.96 for safety.

      Abstract:Aimed at the problems that faulty classification and incomplete segmentation are in existence in segmenting multi-scale objects to the existing real-time semantic segmentation networks, a real-time semantic image segmentation method is proposed based on dual branch fusion. The method introduces a scale attention fusion module that is able to fuse object spatial feature and semantic information extracted from the detail branch and semantic branch, thereby improving the accuracy of the network for multi-scale object recognition.

Additionally, the mean pixel accuracy (mPA) is 87.6% and 85.4%, respectively. For small-scale object edges, there is a more accurate segmentation, coming up to the real-time requirements on a single GTX 1080Ti GPU, and frames per second (FPS) achieves 59.8 and 43.5 respectively.

      DANG Huiying1;2;LI Hailin1;WU Beiping1;3;YU Jiayu1;4;ZHUANG Yinchuan5

      Abstract:As a crucial component of navigation equipment, bearings affect the positioning accuracy and safeguarding capability of the navigation equipment. In predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of equipment, traditional machine learning algorithms are limited to dealing with the problems of complex nonlinear characteristic signals. For the above-mentioned reasons, a new prediction framework for RUL of bearing based on attention mechanism(AM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) is proposed (Bi-LSTM-A). First, a one-dimensional convolution neural network (CNN) is added to the front of the structure to extract local features from the original signal sequence, and then, the signals are analyzed and predicted by combining bidirectional long short-term memory network with attention mechanism. finally, the predicted results are output through the fully connected layers at the end of the network. In comparison with the similar algorithms, the results show that the proposed method can accurately predict the equipment remaining useful life, and is good in predicting efficiency and accuracy.

    • A Prediction of Air Target Combat Intention Based on GRU
      LEI Lei1; TENG Fei2; QUAN Wen3; NI Peng4

      Abstract:In actual air combat, the target combat intention is realized by a series of tactical actions, and the target state is present to the characteristics of time sequence and dynamic change. The traditional operational intention recognition method only relies on a single moment of reasoning, which is not scientific and effective, and fails to predict the enemy’s intention in advance. Therefore, the bi-directional propagation mechanism and an attention mechanism are introduced on the basis of the gated recur-rent unit (GRU), and a method for predicting the combat intention of aerial targets is proposed. This method is to construct the air combat intention feature set through a layered method, encode to generate numerical time series features, and encapsulate domain expert knowledge and experience into labels. The BiGRU network is used for in-depth learning of air combat features, and the attention mechanism is used to adaptively assign feature weights to improve the accuracy of air target combat intention recognition. In order to realize the advance prediction of the target intention, the air combat feature prediction module is introduced before the intention recognition, and the mapping relationship between the predicted feature and the combat intention type is established. The simulation experiments show that the proposed model can predict the combat intention of the enemy’s air target by one sampling point in advance based on the accuracy of 89.7% intention recognition, and has obviously significance in improving the real-time performance of intention recognition.

      ZHAO Hongduo1;2; XIA Chang1;2; GAO Dachen1;2; MA Lukuan1;2

      Abstract:At the scene of emergency rescue, how to determine minimum operating strip(MOS) is still a question after runway is being damaged, and this paper proposes a decision model based on collision detection between damage bounding circles and rectangles. This model helps quickly identify MOS, and establish an evaluation system with 11 indicators, including repair time, mission requirements, and safety. Using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process(FAHP) and TOPSIS, optimal decisions are made for MOS selection. This model is applied to runway 2 at Al taqaddum airport to simulate debris distribution. This algorithm enables the generation of 250 potential minimum strip solutions, and the best one is selected based on the scenario and mission conditions. This approach demonstrates that the model is suitable for determining the minimum strip post-runway damage.

      LI Changhui; XUE Wenchao; QI Lin; LIU Lingzhi; WANG Daotong

      Abstract:This article introduces a repair material being characteristic of high-performance concrete doped with vapor grown carbon nano-fiber reinforcement (VGCF) and carbon nano-tubes (CNT) for runway. That material of adding nano-fibers to concrete can improve its mechanical properties and endurance is a well-known fact. However, the uneven distribution of nano-fibers in the cement matrix can lead to a decrease in performance. The article focuses on the adaptability of repair materials and cement-based pavement materials, and analyzes the influence of carbon nano-fiber materials on the micro mechanism of con crete reinforcement. Mix proportion tests are conducted by doping carbon nano-fibers with different mass fractions in concrete, and the compressive strength, bonding strength, mass loss rate under freeze-thaw cycles, and bonding strength loss rate are measured respectively. The research shows that when the CNT104 content is 0.1%, the compressive strength and bonding strength of concrete are 60.6 MPa and 11.3 MPa respectively, and the 150 freeze-thaw cycles being over, the mass loss is minimum. When the content of CNT107 is 0.15%, the compressive strength and bonding strength are fairly good, i.e. 59.1 MPa and 11.5 MPa respectively. When the content reaches 0.2%, the mass loss is minimal after 150 freeze-thaw cycles. When the VGCF content is 0.15%, the concrete reaches its maximum compressive strength and bonding strength, i.e. 68.0 MPa and 18.6 MPa respectively. At the same time, the concrete with different contents of VGCF shows better frost resistance. At a content of 0.15%, the quality loss rate of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is the lowest. After 150 freeze-thaw cycles, the bond strength is measured again. By comparing before and after freeze-thaw, it is found that the decrease rate of bond strength with 0.15% VGCF added is 32.79%, which is the lowest among all groups. The results indicate that taking UHPC mixed with 0.15% VGCF as runway repair material, its fairly good adaptability to cement-based pavement materials is very protruding.
