Damage to aircraft composite structures caused by directed energy system: A literature review

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the research studies on direct energy system effect on aircraft composite structures to develop a good understanding of state-of-the-art research and devel-opment in this area. The review begins with the application of composite materials in the aircraft structures and highlights their particular areas of application and limitations. An overview of directed energy system is given. Some of the commonly used systems in this category are discussed and the working principles of laser energy systems are described. The experimental and numerical studies re-ported regarding the aircraft composite structures subject to the effect of directed energy systems, especially the laser systems are reviewed in detail. In particularly, the general effects of laser systems and the relevant damage mechanisms against the composite structures are reported. The review draws attention to the recent research and findings in this field and is expected to guide engineers/researchers in future theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies.

空时频域中欠定混合条件下的波达方向估计

波达方向估计是阵列信号处理领域的热点问题,但经典的波达方向估计方法通常要求阵元数大于源信号个数,即满足超定条件,而在实际中往往面临的是源信号个数大于阵元数的欠定条件。基于此,提出了一种基于空间时频分布的多重信号分类扩展算法,通过将空间时频分布矩阵进行扩展,实现了欠定条件下的波达方向估计。相比时频多重信号分类算法,所提算法能同时适应超定和欠定条件;相比已有的欠定波达方向估计方法,其不但保证了波达方向估计的精度,而且放宽了对源信号稀疏性的要求,同时还降低了对快拍数的要求。仿真实验结果证明了该方法的有效性。
