    As the main factor affecting the safety of structures, the structural design and strength analysis of aircraft has developed from static strength design to safety-life design and damage-tolerance design, and further to the durability concept and aircraft structural integrity, during which the design and technique philosophies keep improving and undergo qualitative changes. However, the present understanding towards structural integrity in engineering practice is limited to the level of product development and testing, hindering its significance at a further level. This paper first introduces the development of aircraft structural design from static strength design to structural integrity design, the basic concept of aircraft structural integrity, and the main contents and key points of Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP). Moreover, the promotional transition from the traditional specification for analysis and testing within the design phase to the present one for process control and management within the whole product lifecycle is addressed by elucidating the "Five Tasks". Finally, two typical successful ASIP applications involving the design, verification and maintenance of aircraft structural integrity are presented as examples. Through the basic concepts and development of the main design philosophies, this paper shows the qualitative change of aircraft structural safety strategies from limited application within the design and development phase to thorough application for process control within the full lifecycle, and points out the trend that structural integrity philosophies are developing from experiment-based systematic approaches to digital ones.

    Ding WANG, Jiexin YIN, Xinguang ZHANG, Na’e ZHENG
    ACTA AERONAUTICAET ASTRONAUTICA SINICA    2023, 44 (7): 327105-327105.   DOI: 10.7527/S1000-6893.2022.27105

    TDOA/FDOA localization is an important wireless positioning mechanism for moving emitters, and its location accuracy is greatly affected by measurement errors of TDOA/FDOA and prior measurement errors of sensor models (including sensor position and velocity). To improve the localization performance under the condition of high-level measurement errors, a TDOA/FDOA cooperative localization method for multiple disjoint sources is proposed based on weighted multidimensional scaling analysis in this paper. The proposed method consists of two calculation stages: Stage-a and Stage-b. Specifically, in Stage-a, two groups of scalar product matrices in multidimensional scaling analysis are employed to form the positioning relationship, which is further used to yield the solutions for the locations of multiple disjoint sources and sensors by constructing a weighting matrix. In Stage-b, a constrained minimization model is established based on the intermediate variables introduced in multidimensional scaling analysis to determine the estimation errors in Stage-a. By solving this optimization problem, the expression for the localization errors in Stage-a are obtained, so as to refine the position and velocity estimates of the multiple disjoint sources as well as the sensors. In addition, the first-order error analysis is employed to prove that the proposed method can asymptotically reach the Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) accuracy. Simulation results show that the new method outperforms the existing TDOA/FDOA positioning methods.

    Intelligent decision-making for aircraft air combat is a research hotspot of military powers in the world today. To solve the problem of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) maneuvering decision-making in the close-range air combat game, an autonomous decision-making model based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed, where a reward function comprehensively considering the attack angle advantage, speed advantage, altitude advantage and distance advantage is adopted and improved. The improved reward function avoids the problem that the agent is induced to fall to the ground by the enemy aircraft, and can effectively guide the agent to converge to the optimal solution. Aiming at the problem of slow convergence caused by random sampling in reinforcement learning, we design a value-based prioritization method for experience pool samples. Under the premise of ensuring the algorithm convergence, the convergence speed of the algorithm is significantly accelerated. The decision-making model is verified based on the human-machine confrontation simulation platform, and the results show that the model can suppress the expert system and the driver in the process of close air combat.

    In recent years, Binary Convolutional Neural Networks (BNNs) have attracted much attention owing to their low storage and high computational efficiency. However, the mismatch between forward and backward quantization results in a huge performance gap between the BNN and the full-precision convolutional neural network, affecting the deployment of the BNN on resource-constrained platforms. Researchers have proposed a series of algorithms and training methods to reduce the performance gap during the binarization process, thereby promoting the application of BNNs to embedded portable devices. This paper makes a comprehensive review of BNNs, mainly from the perspectives of improving network representative capabilities and fully exploring the network training potential. Specifically, improving network representative capabilities includes the design of the binary quantization method and structure design, while fully exploring the network training potential involves loss function design and the training strategy. Finally, we discuss the performance of BNNs in different tasks and hardware platforms, and summarize the challenges in future research.

    The electrification degree of airborne equipment continues to increase with the development of science and technology. Owning to this, failure in aircraft power system is posing an increasing threat to flight safety, which granted necessity to fast and accurate health state assessment. The commonly used data-driven fault diagnosis method cannot make use of expert knowledge. Meanwhile, the result of data-driven method is lack of interpretability, and therefore, limits its application in real practice. Knowledge graph has the ability to normalize the storage of such unstructured data as expert knowledge and use it for diagnosis. Moreover, knowledge graph can utilize the unstructured knowledge and supply a reasonable explanation for the cause of the failure. However, in the field of fault diagnosis, there are still few studies on the application of knowledge graph technology. In this article, a knowledge graph construction and application technology for aircraft power system fault diagnosis is proposed. First, ontology of the knowledge graph, which specifies the entity and relation types in the knowledge graph, is constructed based on the priori expert knowledge. Then, Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) method is trained with BMEO-tagged corpus and utilized to extract entities from the unstructured texts. After that, an attention-based Bi-LSTM algorithm is trained with relation-tagged corpus and then utilized to realize relation extraction. Finally, the knowledge graph for aircraft power system fault diagnosis is constructed based on the extracted entities and relations. A fault isolation manual of aircraft power system is used as raw corpus data in the case study to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by the indicators of precision and recall. Based on the knowledge graph, intelligent searching, recommending and Q & A are realized, which strongly support the application prospect of knowledge graph in the field of fault diagnosis.

    UAV aerial images have more complex backgrounds and a large number of dense small targets compared with natural scene images, which impose higher requirements on the detection network. On the premise of ensuring real-time object detection, a YOLOv5-based UAV real-time dense small object detection algorithm is proposed for the problem of low accuracy of dense small object detection in UAV view. First, combining Spatial Attention Module (SAM) with Channel Attention Module (CAM), the fully connected layer after feature compression in CAM is improved to reduce the computational effort. In addition, the connection structure of CAM and SAM is changed to improve the spatial dimensional feature capture capability. In summary, a Spatial-Channel Attention Module (SCAM) is proposed to improve the model's attention to the aggregated regions of small targets in the feature map; secondly, an SCAM- based Attentional Feature Fusion module (SC-AFF) is proposed to enhance the feature fusion efficiency of small targets by adaptively assigning attentional weights according to feature maps of different scales; finally, a backbone network is introduced in the Transformer in the backbone network, and use the SC-AFF to improve the feature fusion at the original residual connections to better capture global information and rich contextual information, and improve the feature extraction capability of dense small targets in complex backgrounds. Experiments are conducted on the VisDrone2021 dataset. The effects of different network scale parameters and different input resolutions on the detection accuracy and speed of YOLOv5 are first investigated. The analysis concludes that YOLOv5s is more suitable to be used as a benchmark model for UAV real-time object detection. Under the benchmark of YOLOv5s, the improved model improves mAP50 by 6.4% and mAP75 by 5.8%, and the FPS for high-resolution images can reach 46. The mAP50 of the model trained at an input resolution of 1504×1504 can reach 54.5%, which is 11.5% better than that of YOLOv4. The accuracy is improved while the detection speed FPS remains at 46, which is more suitable for real-time UAV object detection in dense small target scenarios.

    To solve the problems that Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model does not consider the sensitivity of material to the mean stress and ignores the effect of the mean stress on plastic deformation, we improved the computing method of the Walker exponent γ based on the yield strength and tensile strength, and modified the damage control parameter of the SWT model using the improved Walker exponent. Meanwhile, based on the Manson-Halford (M-H) model, the plastic deformation parameter of the SWT model was modified with the mean stress. Then an Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) life prediction method for the FGH96 powder metallurgy superalloy was proposed based on the improved SWT model. The improved computing method of the Walker exponent was verified using the experimental calculation values of different materials, and the average relative error of calculation is 10.25%. The experimental data of the FGH96 alloy and other aero-engine materials show that the improved SWT model can provide better prediction than the M-H, SWT and Lv models, with nearly all the predicted results within ±2 times the scatter band.
