The article presents a comparative characterization of the structural materials (composites and metals) used in modern aviation structures, focusing on the airframe structure of the most modern aircraft (Airbus A-380, Boeing B-787, and JSF F-35). Selected design and operational problems were analysed, with particular emphasis on composites and light metals (aluminium). For this purpose, the Shore’s method was used for the analysis of the obtained strength results and the programming environment (ANSYS, SolidWorks) required to simulate the GLARE 3 2/1-04 composite. The focus was on highlighting the differences in the construction and modelling of these materials resulting from their various structures (isotropy and anisotropy), e.g., by analyzing the mechanics of metal destruction and comparing it with the composite material. In terms of solving the problems of finite element analysis FEM, tests have been carried out on two samples made of an aluminium alloy and a fiberglass composite. The focus was on highlighting the differences in the construction and modelling of these materials resulting from their various structures (isotropy and anisotropy), e.g., by analyzing the mechanics of metal destruction and comparing it with the composite material. On the basis of the obtained results, the preferred variant was selected, in terms of displacements, stresses, and deformations. In the final part of the work, based on the conducted literature analysis and the conducted research (analysis, simulations, and tests), significant observations and final conclusions, reflected in practical applications, were formulated.
The article presents a mathematical model describing the physical phenomena occurring in the GNSS radio receiver. The main subunit which focused attention was the system of GNSS receiver correlator. The process of tracking and acquiring navigation signals processed in a navigational radio receiver was analyzed in a special way. Bearing in mind that all kinds of noise and interference get through to the signals processed in the receiver, the article attempts to develop a mathematical model of the signal reaching the receiver with noise and an inappropriate signal. On the basis of the mathematical model developed, the courses of acquisition and tracking processes of SIS signals in the presence of noise and interference signal in the form of a narrow and broadband signal are presented. The final part the paper presents the results of computer simulations. Although the results presented in the paper refer to a specific GNSS receiver, they may differ depending on the types of radio navigation devices.
The contemporary interdisciplinary field of knowledge, which is the robotics used in unmanned aerial vehicles, is developing very dynamically. In view of the above, the authors of this paper have set themselves the following thesis: it is possible to build a flying mobile robot based on a controller with low computing power and a simple PID controller, and in this respect they undertook to prove it. The examined object in real experiments was the Quadrocopter. The article discusses the tasks implemented during the design and practical implementation of a remotely controlled flying unit. First, a mathematical model describing the dynamics of the UAV movement was defined. Then, electronic components were selected to allow the quadrocopter to fly. The board has a central unit in the form of the ATmega644PA microcontroller. In the following, the process of programming subsequent elements that make up the quadrocopter control program was carried out. The control system for stabilizing the machine requires information about the location of the quadrocopter in space. This is accomplished by a measurement module containing an accelerometer and a gyroscope. In addition, the quadrocopter needs information about the potential operator's commands. In the final part of the article, based on the analysis of the research subject, the mathematical model created and the necessary simulation tests carried out in this area, practical conclusions were presented.
This article focuses on power electronic multi-pulse 12-, 24- and 36-impulse rectifiers based on multi-winding rectifier transformers. The effectiveness of voltage processing with different variants of supply voltage sources is discussed and arguments are formulated for limiting oneself to 24-pulse processing, which is used in the latest technological solutions of modern aviation technology. The main purpose of this article is to conduct a study (analysis, mathematical models, simulations) of selected multi-pulse rectifiers in the context of testing their properties in relation to the impact on the electrified power supply network. The secondary objective of the article is to assess the possibility of using Matlab/Simulink to analyze the work of rectifier circuits implemented in aircraft networks compliant with the more/all electric aircraft (MEA/AEA) concept. The simulation tests included designing a typical auto-transformer rectifier unit (ATRU) system in the Simulink program and generating output voltage waveforms in this program in the absence of damage to the rectifier elements. In the final part of this work, based on a critical analysis of the literature on the subject of the study, simulations were made of exemplary rectifiers in the Matlab/Simulink programming environment along with their brief analysis. Practical conclusions resulting from the implementation of the MEA/AEA concept in modern aviation were formulated.
