Dynamic analysis of a guided projectile during engraving process

The reliability of the electronic components inside a guided projectile is highly affected by the launch dynamics of guided projectile. The engraving process plays a crucial role on determining the ballistic performance and projectile stability. This paper analyzes the dynamic response of a guided projectile during the engraving process. By considering the projectile center of gravity moving during the engraving process, a dynamics model is established with the coupling of interior ballistic equations. The results detail the stress situation of a guided projectile band during its engraving process. Meanwhile, the axial dynamic response of projectile in the several milliseconds following the engraving process is also researched. To further explore how the different performance of the engraving band can affect the dynamics of guided projectile, this paper focuses on these two aspects: (a) the effects caused by the different band geometry; and (b) the effects caused by different band materials. The time domain and frequency domain responses show that the dynamics of the projectile are quite sensitive to the engraving band width. A material with a small modulus of elasticity is more stable than one with a high modulus of elasticity.

Does Intent equal Capability? Al-Qaeda and Weapons of Mass Destruction

The prospect of terrorists deploying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is often referred to as the foremost danger to American national security. This danger has become more realistic because of al-Qaeda's expanding global network and the expressed willingness to kill thousands of civilians. In the past four years, numerous media reports have documented the group's ongoing quest for WMD capabilities; many reports have detailed al-Qaeda members’ attempts to manufacture or obtain certain chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents to use in WMD against targets in the West and the Middle East. Yet the question remains: Does al-Qaeda's current WMD capability match its actual intent? While most studies of the group have focused on its explicit desire for WMD, allegations of CBRN acquisition, and the killing potential of specific CBRN agents, few open-source studies have closely examined the evolution of al-Qaeda's consideration of WMD and, most notably, the merit of actual CBRN production instructions as depicted and disseminated in the group's own literature and manuals. The following report will examine the history of al-Qaeda's interest in CBRN agents, the evolution of the network's attitude toward these weapons, and the internal debate within the organization concerning acquisition and use of WMD. More so, the following research will assess the validity of actual CBRN production instructions and capabilities as displayed and disseminated in al-Qaeda's own literature and websites.

针对高动态环境下驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）的轨迹规划问题,提出基于车辆稳态动力学特性的动态轨迹规划算法。该算法首先在交通车轨迹预估基础上建立搜索空间,接着利用车辆稳态动力学模型作为轨迹发生器,在搜索空间中对轨迹发生器产生的轨迹进行评价,最后根据驾驶意图和优化条件选择最优轨迹。文章采用基于最优加速度预瞄理论的轨迹跟踪算法,建立了七自由度车辆动力学模型,并在Simulink环境下搭建仿真平台,进行超车仿真实验。实验结果表明,本文提出的算法可行、有效。     

UN-Consistent: A Comparison of Australia's Military Interventions in Somalia and Rwanda

This article seeks to compare Australia's involvement in two key 1990s peace missions: those to Somalia in 1992–93 and Rwanda in 1994–95. While there are many similarities between the two missions in terms of time, scale and theatre, the differences are more important. Both missions are usually recalled as failures despite the Australian troops having been extremely successful in their roles during both deployments. Moreover the experiences with intervention in Africa seem to have forever blighted Australian participation in peace missions on that continent.     

群体专家按轮讨论与自由讨论的观点动力学演化比较

针对群体专家在集体讨论中的按轮讨论和自由讨论的观点动力学演化过程,采用计算机仿真实验的方法对两种模型结果进行了分析和比较。统计结果表明在相同的初始条件下,自由讨论模型采用权威专家优先,然后按观点累积变化最大者优先的发言顺序规则生成的平均观点簇数更少,并且发现15轮以后的讨论发言对各项指标改进的影响作用不大。由于自由讨论是依次串行发言,发言时间效率较低,因此实际讨论方式选择时,当人数较少,时间充裕时,宜采用自由讨论的方式,反之则宜采用按轮讨论的方式。     

波浪扰动下的小型潜射导弹出水动力学建模与仿真

运用Morison公式,提出波浪扰动作用下,考虑弹体运动与波浪耦合的导弹出水过程动力学模型,并对小型潜射导弹的出水过程进行仿真和分析。以弹体姿态变化为例,研究弹体运动与波浪间的耦合关系对波浪扰动作用的影响,分析海情等级、波浪相位、出水速度、出水姿态角等因素对导弹出水过程的影响。结果表明,考虑弹体运动与波浪间耦合关系的出水动力学模型更加准确;潜射导弹的小型性和快速出水特性有利于降低波浪对导弹出水姿态的影响;对快速出水的潜射导弹,波浪扰动分析时须考虑海情等级、出水时间和波浪相位的影响。
