CHINA AND THE U.S. BEYOND THE KOREAN PENINSULA

China-U.S. cooperation over the most difficult security problem in Northeast Asia—the North Korean nuclear issue—in essence projects its bigger power game amid the tectonic shifts of Asian geopolitics. The nuclear issue affords a test case to gauge the future posture of China and the United States in East Asia and their partnership in that conflict-prone region. Approaches to resolving this issue must take into account the geopolitical realignment of Asia, Washington's reorientation of relations with its Asian allies, and China's rise as an influential regional player and the subsequent regional response. However, the long-standing mistrust between China and the United States is contributing to a lack of substantial progress in Korean nonproliferation efforts. The declared nuclear test by Pyongyang further put the denuclearization cooperation between China and the Unites States on the line. China-U.S. cooperation in denuclearizing Pyongyang may either produce lasting stability for the region or create ‘‘collateral damage,’’ with the North Korean issue paling in comparison.     

Formation of adiabatic shearing band for high-strength Ti-5553 alloy: A dramatic thermoplastic microstructural evolution

By using split Hopkinson pressure bar, optical microscopy and electronic microscopy, we investigate the influence of initial microstructures on the adiabatic shear behavior of high-strength Ti–5Al–5V–5Mo–3Cr (Ti-5553) alloy with lamellar microstructure and bimodal microstructure. Lamellar alloy tends to form adiabatic shearing band (ASB) at low compression strain, while bimodal alloy is considerably ASB-resistant. Comparing with the initial microstructure of Ti-5553 alloy, we find that the microstructure of the ASB changes dramatically. Adiabatic shear of lamellar Ti-5553 alloy not only results in the formation of recrystallized β nano-grains within the ASB, but also leads to the chemical redistribution of the alloying elements such as Al, V, Cr and Mo. As a result, the alloying elements distribute evenly in the ASB. In contrast, the dramatic adiabatic shear of bimodal alloy might give rise to the complete lamination of the globular primary α grain and the equiaxial prior β grain, which is accompanied by the dynamic recrystallization of α lamellae and β lamellae. As a result, ASB of bimodal alloy is composed of α/β nano-multilayers. Chemical redistribution does not occur in ASB of bimodal alloy. Bimodal Ti-5553 alloy should be a promising candidate for high performance armors with high mass efficiency due to the processes high dynamic flow stress and excellent ASB-resistance.

基于应变局部化理论的剑桥模型改进

应用传统的弹塑性理论模型在分析剪切带的时候遇到了很多困难,如控制方程失去椭圆性等,其原因是传统的弹塑性理论模型并没有包含材料的内部参数。在剑桥模型的基础上,考虑应变二阶梯度,提出一种新的计算剪切带的理论模型。当应变局部化发生时,带内土体采用该模型计算,带外土体则按照传统弹塑性模型计算。该理论模型汲取了剑桥模型实验参数少,应用简便的优点。     

Empirical Biases and Some Remedies in Estimating the Effects of Selective Reenlistment Bonuses on Reenlistment Rates

Researchers have, for decades, been attempting to estimate the effects of Selective Reenlistment Bonuses (SRBs) on the probability of reenlistment for the military services. SRBs are targeted to specific military occupations for which reenlistment rates are lower (or expected to be lower) than what is needed. This article first identifies four primary sources of biases affecting these models: reverse causality from supply shifts (a negative bias), the endogeneity of the decision point causing coded SRBs to be higher for reenlisters than leavers (a positive bias), measurement error (a likely negative bias), and excess supply preventing the full effect of an SRB change to materialize (a positive or negative bias). The report proceeds to develop a model that attempts to address the first two biases. With U.S. Navy data from FY2001-FY2008, I examine the extent to which these two biases are affecting the estimated SRB effects. Despite these corrections, the difficulty of addressing the other biases calls into doubt studies that examine the effects of retention bonuses or even the effects of the structure of military pay in general.

卫星导航信号无模糊抗多径码相关参考波形设计技术

针对目前卫星导航接收机码环多径抑制技术在二进制偏移副载波类信号下鉴别曲线可能出现多个稳定跟踪位置,导致接收机存在伪距测量的系统性误差的问题,提出最优鉴别曲线设计技术,采用奇异值优化的最小二乘方法,设计无多余跟踪点的本地码相关参考波形。从多径误差包络和跟踪精度两方面,对基于最优鉴别曲线的二进制偏移副载波信号码相关参考波形的设计性能进行验证评估。仿真结果表明：该方法可实现二进制偏移副载波信号在有限接收带宽下的无模糊鉴别曲线设计。以前端带宽为8.184 MHz时的BOC(1,1)信号为例,设计的码相关参考波形相比W2波形,多径误差包络面积增加了61.8%,而跟踪精度提高了4~5 dB。     

内置频率对Duffing振子微弱二进制相移键控信号盲检测影响

采用Duffing振子实现对微弱二进制相移键控（Binary Phase Shift Keying, BPSK）信号的盲检测时,Duffing系统输出的周期态和混沌态转换之间存在过渡带。针对这一问题,推导出过渡带时长和Duffing系统内置频率之间的关系表达式;指出内置频率越高,过渡带时间越短;仿真实验给出时间频率响应曲线。内置频率的提高,会降低系统检测微弱信号的灵敏度。针对这一问题,推导出周期态下Duffing系统输出幅度作为因变量、内置频率作为自变量的表达式;仿真实验给出幅频响应曲线。针对微弱BPSK信号盲检测,建立变尺度方法和检测阵列相结合的基于S变换提取Duffing系统输出幅度包络的微弱BPSK信号盲检测模型,仿真实验验证了模型方法的有效性。
