基于稳健统计特征的飞机识别方法

本文介绍了基于统计特征(StaF)的分类器,它是一种稳健的、用于高距离分辨率(HRR)雷达的飞机识别(ID)方法。在对特征的数量或位置不作先验假定的情况下,我们实时地选择HRR图像的峰值特征。特征提取依靠所观测到图像的信息内容,把特征的数量、位置和幅度作为随机变量。本项研究的主要目的是,通过把对未知目标的识别错误减少到最小,同时维持对已知目标的高识别率的方法来增强分类器的稳健性。结果表明,这种StaF分类器能够显著地减少与未知目标有关的识别错误,同时维持高概率的正确分类。     

Mechanical stress and deformation analyses of pressurized cylindrical shells based on a higher-order modeling

In this research, mechanical stress, static strain and deformation analyses of a cylindrical pressure vessel subjected to mechanical loads are presented. The kinematic relations are developed based on higherorder sinusoidal shear deformation theory. Thickness stretching formulation is accounted for more accurate analysis. The total transverse deflection is divided into bending, shear and thickness stretching parts in which the third term is responsible for change of deflection along the thicknes...     

Assessment of the ballistic response of honeycomb sandwich structures subjected to offset and normal impact

In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations were carried out to examine the behavior of sandwich panels with honeycomb cores. The high velocity impact tests were carried out using a compressed air gun. A sharp conical nosed projectile was impacted normally and with some offset distance(20 mm and 40 mm). The deformation, failure mode and energy dissipation characteristics were obtained for both kinds of loading. Moreover, the explicit solver was run in Abaqus to create the fin...     

An energetic nano-fiber composite based on polystyrene and 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane fabricated via electrospinning technique

Electrospinning is a simple technique used to fabricate polymeric nano-fibrous membranes. These nano-fibers have found a wide range of valuable applications in the biomedical field. However, it has not been utilized with solid high explosives yet. Herein, the electrospinning technique has been used to fabricate polystyrene(PS)/1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane(RDX) composite nanofibers. The governed electrospinning parameters, voltage, distance from the collector, flow rate, mandrel rotating speed...     

“北极行动”

1943年12月,同盟国有一个精心策划的间谍网和一个拥有大约1500名(或者他们相信是这样)破坏者的地下组织,在被德国占领的荷兰活动。但实际上,那个向伦敦发回报告的“地下”电台由德国的操作人员工作了近两年之久。英-荷特工机关通过近200次空投送到荷兰来的特工人员和大量的武器炸药均在降落时受到了德国“接收委员会”的“热情接待”。54名伦敦训练出来的秘密间谍人员被投入监狱,而德国反间谍机构却编造这些英国间谍仍在进行活动的神话故事向英国报告。这是在第二次世界大战的整场“秘密战争”中使同盟国落入圈套的一个最大的骗局。本文作者H·J·吉斯克司是当时纳粹德国在荷兰的反间谍机构头子,正是他亲自指挥了整个“北极行动”。     

“德克萨斯小子”

他是一位二战老兵,已是花甲,他的功绩埋没了几十年,但是人们并没有忘记他。现在,让我们来听听沃尔特·J·博伊恩(Walter J·Boyne)讲述的关于“德克萨斯小子”希尔的故事,一位我们从未知晓的英雄。本文原载于美国《空军》月刊杂志2002年第7期,编译中作了较多删改。     

印度的核原则

核威慑只有在应对核武器的使用以及大规模传统进攻时才能发挥作用。这就让印度的战略决策者不得不接受这样一个现实：核武器其实并不是用来使用的。也不能像获取领土和控制人口一样达成任何战略目标;而且其大规模的潜在杀伤力加上其导致基因突变需要几代人来消除其影响的能力。基本上已经决定了任何一方都不会主动使用它的性质。     

美国军事理念的嬗变

军事理念……全部建立在艰辛的军事实践基础之上;之所以找不到适当的措辞,是因为一些将军有时心血来潮地指定难以达成的目标,或是因为某些将领一C希望在公众面前留下修尽职守的印象①。——马歇尔（S．LAMalshall）今天,形形色色的军事理念角逐在竞技场上。就在最近,各种研究会、讨论会的风潮席卷全军,目标是重新界定“核心价值（corevalues）”②。人们试图挽救美军中伦理道德的日益堕落,惩前毖后,使军人品格的进步立足于坚实的基础之上。陷于混乱的不仅是道德规范。如果说冷战后时代迫使人们从根本上重新评估国家的战略地位,那…
