Pressure curing molding technology has been employed as an effective approach to mitigate residual strain. This research paper focuses on deriving a strain prediction function for grains based on continuum mechanics, taking into account the influence of pressure curing molding technology. The accuracy of the prediction function is verified through finite element analysis. The results show that the proposed function accurately predicts strain distribution at critical positions within the grains. And the effects of curing pressure and the elastic modulus of the case on residual strain are analysed. Specifically, for a given material of case, an optimal curing pressure is identified that minimizes residual strain in the grains. Moreover, it is observed that materials with lower hoop elastic modulus, such as composites, tend to require lower optimal curing pressures. The outcomes of this study provide valuable guidance for grain shape design and the selection of optimal curing pressure.

It is necessary to study the relationship between the generated gust characteristics and the control parameters of such devices in order to optimize the design performance and improve gust simulation capabilities. By solving the compressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) equations, the computational fluid dynamics model of the subsonic airflow past the gust generator in the wind tunnel was presented. The effects of jet momentum, frequency, and spanwise blowing ratio on gust intensity, shape, and spatial uniformity were investigated. Results indicate that the intensity of gusts is positively correlated with jet momentum and frequency. The gust shape matches well with the normalized jet momentum coefficient curve. However, when the frequency increases to above 10 Hz, the gust shape differs significantly from expectation due to the appearance of reverse wave peaks. In addition, the mechanism of the impact of the sidewall and partial spanwise blowing on gusts was revealed. In the three-dimensional situation, streamwise vortices are formed on the sidewall and at the spanwise position where the blowing stops, respectively. This results in an increase and noticeable nonuniformity in gust amplitude. When the blowing with a 15% spanwise length near the sidewall is turned off, the gust amplitude at the symmetry plane increases by nearly 40% due to the main vortex being closer to the main flow. The result provides a physical explanation for the availability of this operation to reduce gust attenuation.

Firstly, in light of fast fixed-time consensus theory, time-to-go, and undirected topologies, adaptive cooperative guidance along the line-of-sight (LOS) direction is proposed to guarantee impact time synchronization. Next, novel nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) is designed to establish adaptive fixed-time guidance law for steering LOS angular rates to the origin or its small neighbourhood. Without the knowledge of target manoeuvre, the proposed cooperative guidance law can be provided by lateral and longitudinal accelerations of each missile, while more reasonable and rigorous analysis of fixed-time stability is carried out through the Lyapunov theory. Within the specified time, both control tasks of simultaneous attack and the desired impact angles can be completed before the final time of the guidance process. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
