    Stable and high-precision localization is a prerequisite for realizing the cooperative autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) often fails to achieve the precise localization in scenarios lacking geometric features,such as corridors,tunnels,and deserts.Therefore,a leapfrog cooperative LiDAR SLAM degradation correction method is proposed for UGVs.This method is used to estimate the normal vector of each feature point in the current frame,and a LiDAR SLAM degradation detection algorithm is devised.When the degradation of environment is detected,the ranging information about two unmanned vehicles is utilized to correct the degradation in LiDAR SLAM.Finally,the locating results are further optimized in the pose graph.Testing on two self-built UGV platforms reveals that the proposed method achieves better mapping performance compared to the current famous LiDAR SLAM methods,demonstrating its significant capability to enhance the locating performance of LiDAR SLAM in degraded scenarios.

    The control strategy of traditional tank bidirectional stabilizers is difficult to effectively deal with the coupling,nonlinearity and uncertainty in the new generation of all-electric bidirectional stabilizers,while the model-based nonlinear control can make full use of a priori information from the dynamic model of the system to enhance the control effect.Based on this,an electromechanical coupled dynamics model of an all-electric bidirectional stabilizer taking the actuator dynamics into account is established,and a nonlinear sliding mode control method based on neural network compensation is proposed.The sliding mode surface and the improved sliding mode robust control law based on hyperbolic tangent function are introduced to construct the nonlinear sliding mode control function,which can effectively eliminate the system oscillations and improve the system stability.Meanwhile,the multilayer neural network technique is deeply fused to accurately estimate the uncertainty in the system and make compensation for the feedforward,thereby avoiding high-gain feedback.It is rigorously demonstrated by the stability theory based on Lyapunov functions that the proposed control strategy can achieve the asymptotic stability performance of tank all-electric bidirectional stabilizer with continuous control inputs.A co-simulation environment and a semi-physical experimental platform are built.The superiority of the proposed control strategy is verified through a large number of comparative experiments.

    Lubricating oil plays a pivotal role in engines due to carrying a wealth of information about the engine state,and is crucial for characterizing the faults of engine.The engine of an armored vehicle is studied,and a fault diagnosis method for the engine is proposed,which leverages the kernel linear discriminant analysis (KLDA) and an improved dung beetle optimization (DBO) algorithm to optimize a back propagation (BP) neural network.The dimensionality reduction of the acquired lubricating oil data is performed through KLDA,and the dimensionality reduced data is taken as input for the BP neural network.The DBO algorithm is then enhanced by integrating optimal Latin hypercube sampling method,weighting factors and Levy flight strategy in order to further optimize the key parameters of neural network.A fault diagnosis model is established to predict the faults in test data effectively.Experimental results affirm the proposed method’s efficacy in rapidly and accurately predicting the faults,providing a scientific basis for the maintenance and repair of engines in armored vehicles.

    Addressing the uncertainty of dynamic model parameters in the terminal guidance phase of hypersonic gliding vehicles and the slow convergence speed of traditional reinforcement learning algorithm,an adaptive guidance algorithm based on reinforcement learning is proposed.The terminal guidance problem for hypersonic gliding vehicles under nominal conditions is converted into an optimal control problem,which is solved using the sequential convex optimization algorithm to generate a dataset of state-control pairs.The dataset is fitted through supervised learning to obtain a corresponding guidance model.The disturbances such as aerodynamic parameter deviation,uncertainty in control response delay coefficient,and state measurement noise are introduced,and the guidance model is further optimized based on the reinforcement learning framework through numerous interactions between the vehicle and the current environment.Numerically simulated results indicate that the proposed guidance method exhibits better robustness and accuracy compared to the supervised learning guidance method.

    Skid-steering wheeled vehicle has a wide range of applications. Understanding the impact of drive system on the vehicle driving and steering performance is the basis for forward design. In response to the design and analysis requirements of hydraulically-driven skid-steering wheeled vehicle, a coupling simulation model of hydraulic drive system and vehicle dynamics system is established based on the principle of the hydraulically-driven skid-steering wheeled vehicle systems. Combined with the specific vehicle parameters, the characteristics of the vehicle driving and steering conditions are simulated and analyzed to obtain the dynamic response characteristics of hydraulic driving system during vehicle driving. The simulated results of the model are verified through the actual vehicle. The results show that time-varying parameters such as road resistance, vehicle speed and driver operation have a great impact on the pressure of hydraulic driving system, which is strongly related to the dynamic steering resistance. The coupled simulation model can be used for the coupled simulation of vehicle motion state and hydraulic driving system state and the coupled analysis of hydraulic driving system characteristics and vehicle dynamics characteristics.

    Time series matching technology is widely used in vehicle handling consistency evaluation.An evaluation method of vehicle throttle control action consistency based on segmented dynamic time warping (DTW) is proposed for the motion consistency evaluation of a coach vehicle in the process of cooperative driving.On the basis of the inconsistent number of sample data points in the cooperative control test of coach vehicle and the slope constraint of dynamic bending path, the traditional DTW rectangular search area is transformed into a parallelogram search area to reduce the area of the search area by changing the slope of search path, thus greatly reduce the calculation amount.Four groups of typical throttle action curves are selected to carry out 50 rounds of iterative experiments for verification, and the DTW distance matrix between the action curves of real vehicles A and B is calculated by segmented DTW method.A minimum deviation leveling method is used to combine the cluster objects for the actions of vehicles A and B, so as to complete the consistency evaluation of throttle action data.The experimental results show that the average matching accuracy of the improved DTW algorithm in each throttle action can reach 89.2%, which is about 3.2% higher than that of the single DTW algorithm, and the average matching time is about 92.45s, which is about 12.6% lower, thus verifying the feasibility and superiority of the segmented DTW algorithm in the consistency evaluation of throttle action.

    Taking the external disturbances caused by the uneven road surfaces of marching tank gun control system (TGCS) and the unbalanced moment of tank gun elevation motion during TGCS operationinto consideration,a two-axis coupled two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) dynamics model of the marching TGCS is established using the second kind of Lagrange method. In terms of the actual force and motion state of TGCS,an electromechanical coupling dynamics model is established for the marching TGCS, which is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in the azimuthal and elevational direction drive system and the gear reduction gearboxes and roller screws in the transmission mechanism. A stable tracking controller for marching tank with finite-time convergence characteristicsis designed to quickly reject the effects of internal and external disturbances of the marching TGCS on the stable tracking of target. This design is based on a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) control law and a linear extended state observer (LESO). The stability precision and arrival time of TGCS for marching tank are calculated based on the stable tracking process for targets. The computational results are then compared with those obtained by utilizing traditional control methods under various operating conditions. The findings demonstrate that the proposed tracking controller exhibits rapid response speed,strong robustness against disturbances,and high tracking accuracy,thereby validating the effectiveness of the controller design.

    To improve the mobility performance of off-road vehicles, this paper proposes a swing-cylinder hydro-pneumatic suspension system, which utilizes a high-pressure pneumatic principle and a back-pressure adjustable damping valve structure for the real-time adjustment of stiffness and damping characteristics. The vibration responses achieved by different stiffness control methods are comparatively analyzed using a single-wheel suspension model, and the fixed-point equations are derived for frequency-domain damping properties.A graded stiffness adjustment strategy and a frequency-domain hybrid damping control method are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a single-wheel suspension dynamics model, and a high-mobility tracked vehicle dynamics model is established for the simulation analysis of a full-vehicle. The results show that the driving speed of off-road vehicle with the suspension employing the combined stiffness and damping control is increased by more than 25% compared with that of off-road vehicle with the traditional passive suspension under the actual road conditions of Kangzhuang, Yangbajing and Tuoli. These findings demonstrate the superior vibration suppression capabilities of the proposed control method, supporting the adaptive regulation of stiffness and damping characteristics of suspension system.

    The key parts of vehicle occluded due to complex backgrounds and variations in vehicle posture can not be accurately identified in images. A detection method based on partially deformable object graph convolutional network (PDO-GCN) is proposed for detecting the occluded key parts of vehicle. This method is founded on the rigid body structural relationships of vehicles, constructing a spatial association model between key parts on the 2D imaging plane based on PDO-GCN, and utilizes the detected results of visible key parts to estimate the locations of occluded ones. Experimental results demonstrate that the PDO-GCN model can effectively infer the complete vehicle structural information without the need for complex annotations, significantly improves the detection accuracy of occluded parts and fulfils the real-time requirements, thus showcasing considerable potential for practical application.

    Mines,improvised explosive devices and roadside bombs have become serious threat to vehicle-mounted howitzers(VMH),and the blast wave generated by mine explosion can also cause damage to the cab structure of VMH and endanger the life safety of crew. Because of the significant difference in the response of the shock wave generated by the mines explosion at different positions at the bottom of the cab,numerical simulation of the response process of the cab bottom of VMH under six explosion-shock conditions was carried out. ALE algorithm was used to establish models of soil,air and explosive,and Lagrange algorithm was used to establish the models of cab and chassis of VMH,and the fluid-solid coupling algorithm was used to calculate the propagation process of the explosion-shock wave,as well as the dynamic response of the cab of VMH in this process. The changes of shock-wave pressure,acceleration and velocity at the bottom plate of the passenger's foot position were analyzed,and the maximum shock-wave pressure,acceleration and velocity at the bottom plate of the passenger's foot position were obtained,and the damage to the cab structure under the worst-case operating conditions was analyzed. The simulation results show that the shock wave generated by the mine will make the cab floor produce greater acceleration and speed,and the cab structure will be damaged. In this case,the passengers will be injured. It is necessary to add a protective structure for the cab of VMH. The simulation results can provide reference for the design of cab protective-structure of VMH.

    In order to expand the application scope of folding wing UAV and extend the information acquisition ability of underwater platform,an underwater vehicle scheme of carrying UAV for dry launch was proposed by combining the advantages of UUV and UAV. In order to better evaluate the feasibility of launching UAV on the sea,the computational fluid dynamics simulation software StarCCM+ was used to simulate the launching environment of UAV on the sea,and the floating and launching process of UAV was simulated in the simulation environment. The air-bag scheme and the propeller scheme were designed respectively by referencing foreign design experience,and the different sea-conditions,different structural-parameters and attitude parameters were simulated and evaluated,and finally the launching process was simulated under the sea conditions. The results show that the UAV carrier in the state of zero buoyancy underwater can float stably on the water surface under different sea-conditions by the air bag scheme and the propeller propulsion scheme. In terms of UAV launch,the difference between the maximum sinking distance of the air-bag scheme in still water and sea conditions is about 2.5%,and the consistency is better than the error level of the propeller scheme of 30%. The average maximum sinking-distance of the vehicle during the launch of UAV is 0.28 m,which is lower than 0.4 m of the propeller propulsion scheme. In a comprehensive comparison,the air-bag scheme is more stable and reliable.

    The trajectory design of air-launched vehicle is limited by many factors such as load,carrier safety,attitude control capability,etc. In order to solve the trajectory optimization problem under complex and multi-constraint conditions,an optimize method considering the crossing distance,maximum load and maximum control capability constraints was proposed. The crossing distance model and load calculation model of the aircraft and launch vehicle were established. By transforming the above model into process constraints and introducing them into the trajectory optimization problem,the pseudo-spectral method was used to solve the trajectory optimization problem,so as to realize the rapid optimization of the ascent trajectory of the air-launched launch vehicle under multiple constraints. On this basis,the typical parameters affecting the rocket crossing distance and maximum load in the trajectory design were sorted out,and the constraints between the parameters were analyzed. The simulation results show that the method can realize the trajectory optimization of the ascent phase of the air-launched vehicle under multiple constraints,and provide a reference for the development of the air-launched vehicle. From the point of view of reducing the maximum flight load of the rocket and improving the overall performance,the air-launched vehicle should be launched at a high altitude. After the launch,the angle of attack should be adjusted to the maximum at the maximum angular rate to ensure that the rocket can quickly pass through the dense atmosphere. At the same time,the crossing distance should be shortened as far as possible to avoid the acceleration of the rocket at low altitude.

    To investigate the ventilated cavity flow characteristics of the vehicle water entry with gas jet cavitator,experiments of the vehicle water entry with gas jet cavitator were performed. The formation and development of the open cavity in the process of water entry were analyzed,and the effects of different ventilation rates and water entry angles on the cavity shape and gas jet length were discussed. The results indicate that there are different flow regions(i.e.,disturbance region,transition region,and the cavity develop region)during the formation of the open cavity,and it is related to the position of the vehicle. After the vehicle penetrates the air-water interface,the cavity surface(gas-liquid interface)exhibits the K-H instability significantly due to the viscous shear flow. The cavity collapse phenomenon was observed under the low ventilation coefficient. As the vehicle penetrates the water surface,the cavity diameter and gas jet length decrease gradually. The open cavity depth,cavity diameter and gas jet length increase linearly with the ventilation coefficient. The affect of the water entry angle is limited.

    To solve the problem of optimal ascent trajectory design in case of small thrust-weight ratio of launch vehicle’s last stage,and send payloads into orbit with much less velocity loss and propellant consuming,a new trajectory design method based on more accurate line-gravity field was proposed by simplifying yaw program angle and co-states,which transfered the optimal thrust direction in vacuum flight into a two-point boundary value problem containing five constraints,and got the optimal trajectory by integrating motion equations. Furthermore,the initial values of iteration were analyzed according to launch vehicle’s flight features,and an estimation method of initial values of co-states and flight time was deduced,and a means and process of launch vehicle trajectory design in whole ascent flight based on linear-gravity field was put forward. The simulations show that this method generates the same results with the conventional method in situation of normal thrust-weight ratio,and pitch program angle varies nearly linearly. In situation of small thrust-weight ratio,this method generates much less velocity loss,saving 2.9% and 2.1% propellant compared with the conventional method and iterative guidance respectively,and pitch program angle varies non-linearly. This method is of good convergence and optimization effect,and can be well applied in trajectory design of small thrust-weight ratio and launch vehicle’s whole ascent flight. This method can also supply a new means of online trajectory planning,etc.

    In order to study the supercavitating flow characteristics of series vehicles in shallow water,the continuity equation and momentum equation of the mixed phase of air,water and steam were established by using the Volume of Fluid multiphase flow model. The supercavitating flow field of series vehicles in shallow water was numerically simulated,and the effects of water depth and vehicle spacing on supercavitating flow were studied. The results show that,in the motion course of vehicles with the forward and backward series,the supercavitation will form,and the initial shape and outline of the bubble are similar,and the leading waves will be excited on the free surface. In shallow water,there will be air above the supercavitation,but with the increase of water depth,the air above the supercavitation is no longer involved in the cavitation. With the increase of the spacing between vehicles,the contour of supercavity becomes smoother in the full development stage. When the distance is greater than 5 times the diameter of the vehicle,there is no significant difference in the supercavity profile of the series vehicles with different spacing.

    The ionization reactions were divided into three sections according to different reaction mechanisms,and they were introduced into DSMC with different criteria for the occurrence of chemical reactions. The influence of ionization reaction on the aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicle was studied,and different calculation results derived from different flow fields composed of different species were compared. Most of the electrons concentrate at the head of the vehicle in the flow field. The flow field temperature and the heat flux get a sharp decrease after introducing ionization reactions. The effects of different ionization reactions on the characteristics of the flow field were compared. The associative ionization is the basis of all ionization reactions,and the electron-excitation ionization can promote the formation of free electrons in the flow field,but the charge exchange reaction do just the opposite,whereas both of the two kinds of ionization can weaken the heat flux on the surface of the hypersonic vehicle.

The 6-DOF motion equations were established,and the three-dimensional motion model of underwater vehicle was built,and the turning pattern was numerically simulated by use of MATLAB/Simulink model,and the turning motion regulation was obtained. Taking turning performance of underwater vehicle as an example,the effects of general parameters such as buoyancy,the distance between gravity centre and buoyancy centre,the downward displacement of gravity centre and the lateral displacement of gravity centre on the turning velocity,turning angular-velocity,turning depth and turning space motion of underwater vehicle were numerically calculated and analyzed. The results show that the effect of buoyancy variation on motion performance of underwater vehicle is small; the variation of the distance between gravity centre and buoyancy centre can cause the change of pitch angle. The increase of downward displacement of gravity centre can improve the motion stability,but the increase of the lateral displacement of gravity centre can reduce the motion stability.

    To meet the requirement of adaptability of the ascent guidance of combined-cycle vehicle under multi-constraints,a closed-loop guidance method based on receding horizon pseudo-spectral optimization was studied. The guidance was carried out under the framework of the hierarchy-structure receding horizon optimization,which applied segmented pseudo-spectral method to generate the online real-time command,and the command can be updated iteratively with the state feedback. The mesh update strategy was introduced to improve the efficiency of the algorithm,and the guidance cycle was adjusted adaptively based on real-time state deviation. Simulation results show that the proposed guidance method is feasible,and it can effectively suppress the influence of model parameter uncertainty and external interference. The guidance accuracy meets the mission requirements. The calculation time is in the order of hundred milliseconds. Thus,the method is of certain value for engineering application.

    To study the effect of technical conditions of the breechblock and anti-recoil mechanism on armored-vehicle firepower system(AVFS)and precisely judge the latent fault caused by the variation of technical conditions,the cloud theory was applied to analyze and process the test data of technical condition parameters. The change-rule model of all the test data in the whole test period was built,and the cloud model was applied to predict the change of the condition parameters in the short term. Based on the cloud transformation method,a plenty of technical condition parameters of AVFS were transformed into multiple qualitative cloud concepts to simplify the test data categories. A series of cloud-fault reasoning rules of technical condition parameters were put forward through the association-rules mining,and the credibility of corresponding reasoning results was calculated. The combination-rule generator was established on the basis of cloud reasoning,and a large number of samples were applied to train and improve the generator. The stable fault-prediction results whose credibility was greater than the set threshold were obtained. The instance indicates that the technical condition prediction-method based on cloud theory and fault reasoning generator can use non-equal time interval test data of technical condition parameters to accurately assess the technical condition and accurately diagnose the fault type.

    In order to assess the vulnerability of typical tank under HEAT,the damage tree diagram of tank was established by analyzing tank external structure and internal key components,and the typical tank was described by computer. Based on the penetration mechanism of jet and the principle of tank damage,the vulnerability evaluation model of tank under HEAT was established. The vulnerability of typical tank under HEAT from front and left was calculated. The result shows that,the average damage probability(0.16)of M-level in front of the tank is greater than that of the F-class(0.06)and K-class(0.02),and the average damage probability(0.22)of F-level on the left side of the tank is greater than that of the M-class(0.21)and K-class(0.14). The tank vulnerable area of the left surface is larger than that of the front.

    The separation of capsule and vehicle plays a significant role during water-surface separation process,which affects the initial motion attitude of vehicle after separation. Aiming at this problem,the forces on the capsule and the vehicle were analyzed,and the strip theory was used to set up the hydrodynamic model. By using MATLAB,the model of the separation of capsule and vehicle on the water surface was built,and the changing progress of capsule and vehicle during the process of separation was showed. The reliability of the model was proved by comparing simulation results with tank experiment results. The simulation results show that the absolute value of the pitch rate decreases during the separation process on water suface.

    To study the planning approach of low-altitude rapid ascent trajectory for air-launched near-space vehicle,the ascent trajectory was divided into four phases such as dropping phase,the first powered phase,gliding phase and the second powered phase. To climb rapidly after the dropping,the maximum normal load was applied during the first powered phase. In order to satisfy the terminal constraints of the second powered phase,the time-varying longitudinal control variable was parameterized as a piece-wise polynomial,with a lateral energy management scheme based on triangle function. A parameter-programming problem with multiple phases and constraints was formulated,and the modified particle swarm optimization was employed to solve it. The simulation results show that the constraints of load,control and separation were well satisfied; this method can provide reference trajectories with high accuracy and computational efficiency for different constraints.

    In order to accurately describe the gun pitch system of a moving tank,the dynamic model of multi-body system of a marching tank was established by the dynamic software RecurDyn. The credibility of the model was preliminarily verified by simulation and experiment. The dynamic modeling and analysis of the gun pitching system with the permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)as the actuator were carried out,and the mathematical model of the gun pitching system was established. On this basis,aiming at the problem of poor controlled by the traditional three loop structure,the adaptive robust controller of the gun pitch servo system and the disturbance observer for feedback compensation of the system disturbance were designed. The stability analysis of the controller was completed,and the control model of the gun pitch system was designed. Finally,the co-simulation of the tank pitching system was realized through the interface module. The simulation results show that the multi-body system dynamic model established in this paper is reasonable,and control strategy of the designed gun pitch servo system has good step response,aiming stability,strong robustness and anti-interference ability.
