The Practice and Power of Firing Broadsides in British Men of War During the Age of Fighting Sail

The development of naval broadside tactics and practice is discussed. The technology of smooth bore ordnance is examined, with an account of naval gunfiring trials. The fundamental purpose of gunnery at sea — damage to ship structure and casualties sufficient to disable an enemy ship — is reviewed.     

舰炮对海上集群小目标射击的毁伤概率

海上集群小目标是水面舰艇面临的主要威胁之一。以单管大口径舰炮对海上集群小目标射击作为研究对象,对集群目标进行了等效处理,分析了弹种、引信和装药的选择以及效力射中的表尺分配问题,提出多表尺效力射方法,利用该方法对海上集群小目标射击的毁伤概率进行了分析。结果表明,采用该方法并使用空炸榴弹或杀伤爆破弹,可有效破坏敌运输工具,杀伤其有生力量。     

基于等效电路和点电流源的潜艇水下腐蚀电场估算

为了对潜艇涂层破损状态的水下腐蚀电场进行快速评估,基于电化学腐蚀原理和潜艇结构特点,建立潜艇涂层局部破损时的腐蚀电流等效电路,对潜艇涂层局部破损时的腐蚀电流强度进行估算,并基于点电流源对潜艇腐蚀电场建模,将潜艇涂层破损部位和裸露螺旋桨等效为点电流源,利用点电流源在分层介质中的电场计算公式对潜艇涂层破损时的腐蚀稳恒电场进行估算。与某型潜艇腐蚀电场商业有限元软件COMSOL仿真结果对比表明：该估算方法得到的潜艇表面腐蚀电流和不同路径电场分布曲线规律与COMSOL仿真结果基本一致,电流估算值相对误差不超过6.5%,电场各分量峰峰值相对误差不超过18%。     

开孔复合材料层合板的拉伸强度和失效模式分析

为研究纤维编织工艺、铺层角度和孔径大小对开孔复合材料层合板拉伸强度和失效模式的影响规律,选用正交平纹玻纤层合板（WFL）和单向玻纤层合板（UFL）制作0°和45°铺层开孔拉伸试件,随后进行了试验研究;采用 Abaqus 建立基于二维 Hashion 失效准则的渐进损伤仿真模型,并对试验结果进行了对比,分析了试件的损伤机理。研究结果表明：层合板强度随开孔增大而减小,并且这种变化率随孔径增大而增大,45°铺层的层合板的变化率小于0°铺层,WFL 小于 UFL;WFL 的破坏以纤维断裂为主,裂纹垂直于纤维方向,UFL 以基体开裂为主,裂纹沿纤维方向,孔径则对破坏模式无明显影响;0°铺层 WFL 的破坏是由纤维拉伸失效导致,45°的则由纤维拉伸失效和基体拉伸剪切失效共同导致,0°铺层 UFL 由基体压缩失效导致,45°的则由基体拉伸剪切失效导致;拉伸强度的仿真与试验结果最大误差为14．1％,由此验证了仿真计算方法的有效性。     

Budget allocation under uncertainty and the costs of war and insecurity

This study presents a framework and models for the analysis of government budget allocation into defense and civilian expenditures in situations of uncertainty about the incidence of war. The models display the intricate relationships between security levels, subjective probabilities of the occurrence of war, and potential war damages. We show that poor countries tend to perceive greater probabilities of war than their richer rivals, and that the psychological burden of insecurity is larger when the country’s wealth is larger and when its preference for security is higher. We apply our models to the Israeli–Syrian arms race and show that the higher rate of growth of Israel’s gross domestic product relative to that of Syria is expected to lead to an increase in Syria’s perception of the likelihood of war and to a decrease in Israel’s perception of such a likelihood. We also show that if Syria’s regime becomes ideologically more extreme, the monetary cost of maintaining Israel’s security at the level that it enjoyed prior to the change will be very high, whereas the monetary cost of maintaining Israel’s welfare will be moderate.

A note on necessary and sufficient conditions for ordering properties of coherent systems with exchangeable components

We give necessary and sufficient conditions based on signatures to obtain distribution‐free stochastic ordering properties for coherent systems with exchangeable components. Specifically, we consider the stochastic, the hazard (failure) rate, the reversed hazard rate, and the likelihood ratio orders. We apply these results to obtain stochastic ordering properties for all the coherent systems with five or less exchangeable components. Our results extend some preceding results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2011     

串并联结构分解目标毁伤评估

针对仿真中空地导弹攻击复杂目标的毁伤评估问题,提出了一种基于串并联结构分解的目标毁伤评估算法,并引入了修复时间作为毁伤评估的一项指标.该算法首先按结构布局和功能关系将目标分解成多个子系统,并组成串并联结构图,然后根据导弹的精确落点对每个子系统进行毁伤评估,最后综合所有子系统的毁伤情况得出目标整体的毁伤程度和恢复正常所需...     

基于Laguerre滤波的雷达通道均衡方法

传统雷达通道均衡采用自适应FIR滤波器作为均衡器,当理想脉冲响应序列很长时,其逼近效果不理想,计算量大。Laguerre滤波器兼具FIR和IIR结构的优点,通过在单位圆内固定一极点保证了系统的稳定,又因为引入了全通滤波环节,使其能够用较少的阶数逼近长脉冲序列响应。推导了Laguerre滤波器的自适应算法,并将其应用于雷达通道均衡中,仿真实验也证明了它与传统的FIR结构相比,用更少的系数获得了更优的对消比,达到了更好的均衡效果。
