In this paper,a 100 mm diameter and deformable aspheric polishing lap consisting of 19 PZT actuators was designed and manufactured to polish a Φ350 mm hyperboloid mirror in k=-1.112 155, R=840 mm. In order to analyze the influence of PZT actuator hysteresis on surface error, the output characteristic of each PZT actuator was measured and the mathematical model of displacement output of each PZT actuator was established by means of Radial Basis Function(RBF) neural network. By finite element method, the surface errors of the deformable aspheric polishing lap were calculated before and after PZT actuator hysteresis compensation. The results show that the surface residual error and RMS are 1.910 μm and 0.342 μm respectively. By PZT actuator hysteresis compensation, the surface error of the deformable aspheric polishing lap reduces by 82%.

To study the effect of spectral curvature on the acquired radiant signal by imaging spectrometer with prism dispersion, the errors of acquired signal between with spectral offset 0.01, 0.05, 0.1d (d is pixel dimension) and without spectral curvature was calculated by combining with the dispersive characteristics of composite prism in Visible-Near Infrared VNIR (400~1 000 μm). The experimental results indicate that the scene radiant signal acquired by imaging spectrometer with spectral line bend exhibits distinct errors at the edges of atmospherical absorption bands compared with no spectral curvature, and the normalized signal errors increase with the spectral offset. When spectral resolution increases, there are distinct signal errors near some weak atmospherical absorption peaks. These results reported here suggest that spectral curvature should be no more than 0.3 nm for imaging spectrometer with 10 nm resolution.

In order to explore the feasibility of the large lightweight SiC primary mirror, the different lightweight forms were compared and a supporting way for the primary mirror was determined. After theoretically calculating the light weighted structure parameters, a sandwich structure SiC primary mirror with sector holes was designed. With the finite element method, the self-weight deformation for the lightweight mirror upholded by a float support was analyzed. Under the two different conditions, the mirror surface figures were PV=9.43 nm,RMS=2.5 nm and PV=16.7 nm,RMS=3.2 nm, respectively. The results indicated that the influence of the self-weight deformation is smaller while the thermal deformation is larger because of the large coefficient of thermal expansion of SiC. At steady-state temperature field, when temperature changes 1 ℃, the mirror surface figure changes PV=40 nm,RMS=4.8 nm. These results reported here suggest that the thermal control must be applied to the mirror.

On the basis of a new type of functionally gradient (FG) piezoelectric actuator proposed by the authors in their former study,the new actuator is designed, fabricated, modeled and experimentally studied. The material compositions are selected from Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3-PbTiO3 family and they are used as the four layers in the new FG piezoelectric actuator.The piezoelectric constants and dielectric constants of the materials are gradated oppositely in the thickness direction, because this special structure of the FG piezoelectric actuator has an advantage over the traditional actuators in internal stress distribution. To optimize the structure of the FG piezoelectric actuator, an electromechanic model is derived from Classical Lamination Theory (CLT) and piezoelectric equation, and the static distortion and stress distribution of the actuator with different thickness ratios are computed when the voltage or concentrated force effects on it independently.The optimum thickness ratio is 1∶1∶1∶1, which is determined by optimizing the internal stress distribution.According to the optimizing result,the FG piezoelectric actuator is fabricated successfully,also the relation between the output displacement and output force at the free end of the actuator is measured. The experimental results indicate that there is a linear relation between the output displacement and output force of the actuator, moreover, the lower vibration frequency is, the greater output displacement and output force are.
Application of active vibration control system based on piezoelectric elements in real-world structures is limited by its requirement for complicated signal processing system and bulky energy supply system;the passive vibration control system is also difficult to implement its system paramenters of inductance.Moreover,the resistances in this system are sensitive to environment,so that it needs large inductance to control low frequency vibration. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a new method of semi-active vibration control based on a technique of synchronized switch damping has been developed recently. By using the processor of TMS320F2812 and the logic switch control algorithm,the polarity of the voltage on a piezoelectric element embedded in cantilever composite beam can overturn at proper time, so that the vibration controlling effect is achieved due to the opposite directions of the voltage-induced force and the strain rate. The experimental results show that the first mode of the cantilever beam can reduce by 3.164 1 dB.

In accordance with complicated object movement and changeable object environment, a multi-pattern fusion algorithm for target tracking is presented. Mean-shift and particle filter algorithms widely applied to target tracking are selected to get tentative locations and Weighted Composite Reference Function (WCRF) is adopted to establish reference model. Then, the distance difference of the tentative locations and the reference model is considered as a criterion to find correct location. Finally, the algorithm updates the reference model according to the distance between reference model and target model in current frame. The experimental simulation results show that the average tracking error of the proposed algorithm is reduced by 50% as compared with that of single target tracking method. If the reference model is updated incorrectly, the probability to find the correct location in the next frame is 67%. After updating the reference model three times, the influence on object tracking is less than 10%,which effectively reduces the tracking error and instability for model updating.
