Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose a combination bank-to-turn control mode with the single moving mass and reaction jet and design the roll control law for the long-range reentry maneuverable warhead.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the dynamics model of this new control mode, the control model of roll channel is converted into a perturbed double-integrator system. The on-off optimal feedback control law is designed on the phase plane formed by Euler angle error and angular velocity error. To weaken the “on-off chattering” that is generated near the origin of the phase-plane and effectively reduce the jet fuel consumption for stability control, an on-off control outer ring and an inner ring are introduced into the phase plane.

Findings

This control mode can not only avoid the aerodynamic rudder ablation to improve the efficiency of attitude control, but also reduce the fuel consumption of jet control by using moving mass control. The simulation results indicate that the designed control law can meet the speediness and robustness requirements of the long-range maneuverable warhead controlled by the single moving mass and reaction jet. This measure can also eliminate the on-off chattering effectively.

Practical implications

The new control mode solves some engineering problems of long-range reentry maneuverable warhead controlled by only one actuator. The control mode has a promising prospect in engineering practice.

Originality/value

The paper provides a new control mode and a combination control strategy, and designs an effective control law.

Abstract

Purpose

Drawing upon work-home resources model, this study aims to investigate how and when humble leadership influences followers’ work–family enrichment. Specifically, this study focuses on the mediating role of thriving at work and moderating role of promotion focus.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 292 employees of science and technology enterprises in China through a three-wave questionnaire survey. Hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrapping approach were employed to test hypotheses.

Findings

This study found that thriving at work significantly mediated the relationship between humble leadership and work–family enrichment. Promotion focus strengthened the positive relationship between humble leadership and thriving at work and the indirect effect of humble leadership on work–family enrichment through thriving at work.

Practical implications

The findings of this study offer guidance for managers to enhance thriving at work and improve employees’ work–family experiences.

Originality/value

First, this study explores the work-to family spillover effects of humble leadership by examining the family outcomes of humble leadership. Second, this study further uncovers the underlying mechanism between humble leadership and work–family enrichment by demonstrating the mediating role of thriving at work. Third, by exploring the moderating role of promotion focus, this study provides insight into the boundary conditions of the impact of humble leadership.
