基于固有时间尺度分解的能量算子解调法及故障诊断应用

针对Teager能量算子包络解调方法主要用于对单分量的调幅调频信号进行解调,而真实机械故障信号多为多分量的调幅调频信号的问题,提出了能量算子与固有时间尺度分解相结合的解调方法.首先,利用固有时间尺度分解法将原始振动信号分解为若干个固有旋转分量和一个单调趋势项,并基于波形匹配算法实现原始数据的自适应端点延拓以解决分解过程中的端点效应;然后再选取合适的固有旋转分量,利用能量算子方法实现调制信号的包络解调;最后,将该方法应用于仿真信号和故障模拟信号.结果表明:该方法能有效地提取机械振动信号的故障特征.     

Country survey IX: Spain

From the early 1980s Spain embarked on a wide‐ranging process of military reform, from organisational changes to defence industrial policies. Investment in military equipment was set to grow, policies were drawn up to foster the domestic defence industrial base, defence R&D rocketed, and Spain joined a myriad of international arms development programmes. Yet, by 1991 the process of reform had run out of steam. Expenditure planning proved unreliable, and firms suffered from sharp cutbacks in procurement expenditure. The model of defence industrial growth sketched in the mid‐1980s had floundered. The Spanish case provides an example of how the quest to maximise defence procurement from domestic sources can fall victim to industrial and budgetary constraints. Spanish defence producers are now becoming increasingly intertwined with foreign defence companies.     

THE DEFENCE SPENDING–EXTERNAL DEBT NEXUS IN ETHIOPIA

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of defence spending and income on the evolution of Ethiopia’s external debt over the period 1970–2005. Using the bounds test approach to cointegration and Granger causality tests, we find a long run and a causal relationship between external debt, defence spending and income. Defence spending had a positive and a significant impact on the stock of external debt while income had a negative and a statistically significant impact on external debt. Our findings suggest that an increase in defence spending contributes to the accumulation of Ethiopia’s external debt, while an increase in economic growth helps Ethiopia to reduce its external debt.     

TIME-VARYING CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTH KOREA-UNITED STATES AND JAPAN-UNITED STATES MILITARY ALLIANCES UNDER CHINESE THREAT: A PUBLIC GOOD APPROACH

This paper investigates the nature of two military alliances under Chinese threat. The findings are as follows: First, South Korea does not consider China a significant threat while Japan and the United States have recognized China as a serious threat since the 1990s and the 2000s, respectively. Second, the relationship between South Korea and the United States is a true military alliance for all time periods, but the nature of the alliance has changed since the 1970s. Third, although Japan began to form an alliance relationship with the United States in the 1990s, Japan is considered a more significant ally by the United States. This paper implies that, should China provoke a military confrontation, it might be difficult to deduce a common solution among the three countries because of the different response to military threats from China.     

DOES MILITARY EXPENDITURE MATTER FOR INFLATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH?

This paper sets up a monetary endogenous growth model, and uses it to explain the ambiguous linkage between the military burden and the inflation rate observed in existing empirical studies. It is found that an expansion in the military burden has an ambiguous effect on the inflation rate depending upon the relative extent of two conflicting forces. More specifically, if the increase in the marginal benefit from holding money exceeds (falls short of) the increase in the marginal product of private capital, the inflation rate will rise (fall) in response. Moreover, it is found that an increase in the military burden will stimulate the balanced growth rate, confirming Benoit’s famous empirical findings.     

基于耳轴轴承非线性的炮口响应分析

针对火炮耳轴轴承接触的非线性问题进行研究,推导了耳轴轴承接触刚度计算式,提出在ADAMS中考虑间隙和接触非线性的转动铰建模方法．基于多体动力学和接触理论,建立考虑耳轴轴承间隙的某自行火炮发射动力学模型,并对不同间隙水平下的炮口垂向扰动情况进行分析．仿真结果表明：由于非线性的存在,随着间隙水平的增加,3个垂向扰动指标（角位移、速度、角速度）并非单调或线性变化,但其在取值区间上存在一个平稳值（0．22-0．28mm）,耳轴间隙在该范围内能够保证射击精度的稳定性．
