Full textThe main focus of this thesis is to model the evolution trajectory of human face from infancy to senility using the biometrics facial features.The manifestation of facial changes caused by ageing depends on different factors such as genetic, ethnicity and lifestyle. Nevertheless, individuals in the same age group share some facial similarities. These resemblances can be employed to approximate the facial appearance of an individual in the bygone or the forthcoming years.Unlike numerous studies dealing with predictive face ageing models, for the first time, this thesis proposes the first Backward Facial Ageing Model aiming at digitally rejuvenate an adult face appearance down to its early childhood. We also present the Forward Facial Ageing Model to predict the adult face appearance in its future by taking into account the naturalageing trajectory. The main purpose of Forward Facial Ageing Model is to have a base model for the supplementary ageing models such as behavioural models.In this thesis for the first time in face ageing studies, the effects of different lifestyle behaviours are integrated into the facial ageing models. The Behavioural Facial Ageing Models predict the feature of a young face in case of having the high-risk lifestyle habits. The main attempt of these models is to illustrate the adverse effects of unsafe lifestyle behaviourson the senility of the face, aiming to prevent the youth from becoming involved in these habits. The Facial Ageing Modeling Database, contains over 1600 facial images, is collected to construct the models and 30 Face Templates for the purpose of the face ageing studies.Besides, the Face Time-Machine Database from 120 subjects is created and published to testand evaluate the results. For the proposed approach face contour and different components are modified non-linearly based on an estimated geometrical model related to the trajectory of growth or ageing. Moreover, the face texture is adapted by mapping a Face Template to the estimated geometrical model. Then, the effects of each lifestyle habit are set up to the primal predictive model.The evaluations of the results indicate that the proposed models are remarkably accurate to estimate the correct face appearance of an individual in the target age. While the simulated facial images are realistic and have the appearance, geometrical and textural characteristics of the target age, the personal identity and details of the input face images are preserved

Full textDesign for reliability (DFR) consists in assessing the impact of electrical ageing of each elementary component, using electrical simulations, on performance degradations of a full device. According to DFR concept and reliability simulation, theses works present a new DFR strategy. This strategy based on the integration of two intermediate phases in the ICs and SoC design flow. The first phase is a bottom-up ageing behavioural modelling phase of a circuit (from transistor level to circuit level). The second phase is a « top-down reliability analyses » phase of this circuit, performing electrical simulations using its ageing behavioural models, in order to determine critical functional blocks and / or elementary components of its architecture according to a failure mechanism and a given mission profile. Theses analyses also allow determining the failure time of this circuit. Statistical dispersions on ICs performances, due to the used manufacturing process, have been taking into account in order to assess their impact on failure time dispersions of a ICs lot. The method has been applied on two degradation mechanisms: hot carriers and radiations

Full textIn this thesis, we study a class of “active materials” called Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) which are ferromagnetic impregnated rubbers whose mechanical properties are altered by the application of external magnetic fields. With the purpose of characterizing the behavior of MREs up to large strains and high magnetic fields, this work brings a completely novel experimental, theoretical and numerical approach.The first part of this study focuses on an experimental investigation of MRE where multiple microstructures (isotropic and transversely isotropic materials) and multiple particles’ volume fraction are tested. A special sample geometry is designed in order to increase the uniformity of internal magnetic and mechanical fields measured during coupled-field experiments. The interfacial adhesion between the iron fillers and the silicone matrix is investigated and we show that when specimens are subjected to external magnetic fields, a silane primer treatment of the particles is needed to prevent debonding at the interface particle/matrix. Then, we present the magneto-mechanical testing setup that allows simultaneous 3D mechanical and magnetic measurements before discussing the results. Even if is found that instabilities are ubiquitous in MREs, lots of useful data are collected and will be used to compute the parameters proposed in the material model.The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the modeling of isotropic MREs. The continuum description proposed by Kankanala, Triantafyllidis and Danas (2004, 2012, 2014) to derive constitutive laws that account for finite strains is used and, in particular, the energetic approach (that requires an energy density function) is chosen. Multiple equivalent variational formulation alternatives (based on different choices of the independent magnetic variable used in the energy function: B, H or M) are given and implemented into 3D finite element (FEM) codes. Based on the use of FEM simulation in combination with least square optimization methods, the previously collected experimental data are fitted and all three energy functions ψB , ψH and ψM are computed. The obtained material model proves to have excellent predictive capabilities when compared to other experiments not used in the fitting process. The use of numerical tools is necessary to make sure that the calculated material parameters are not influenced by the shape of experimental specimens.The last part of this work details the numerical implementation of the different variational formulations. For each one of them, it is found that isoparametric elements are well suited to simulate coupled magneto-mechanical boundary value problems. We show that special care is needed when implementing variational formulations using the displacement vector and the magnetic vector potential as independent variables. Indeed, ensuring the uniqueness of the vector potential requires to numerically enforce the Coulomb gauge, which leads to numerical complications that are addressed in this thesis. Before describing the different patch tests that have been considered to validate the numerical codes, we show which are the valid boundary conditions for the magnetic vector potential and how to use the symmetry properties of a given boundary value problem to reduce its complexity and the computational resources needed to solve it

Modelos de simula??o de multid?es t?m tido um papel importante em ci?ncias da computa??o j? h? algumas d?cadas desde os trabalhos pioneiros. No in?cio, agentes simulados em multid?es comportavam-se todos da mesma maneira, e tal comportamento era controlado pelas mesmas regras em todos os agentes. Com o tempo, os modelos de simula??o evoluiram, e come?aram a agregar uma maior variedade de comportamentos nos agentes. Modelos de simula??o de multid?es que implementam diferentes comportamentos nos agentes s?o chamados modelos de Multid?es Heterog?neas, em oposi??o aos modelos de Multid?es Homog?neas precedentes. Modelos de simula??o de multid?es que buscam criar agentes com comportamentos humanos realistas exploram heterogeneidade nos comportamentos dos agentes, na tentativa de atingir tal realismo. Em geral, estudos em psicologia e comportamento humano s?o usados como conhecimento de base, e os comportamentos observados nestes estudos s?o simulados em agentes virtuais. Nesta dire??o, trabalhos recentes em simula??o de multid?es exploram caracter?sticas de personalidade e modelos de emo??es. No campo de emo??es em agentes virtuais, pesquisadores est?o tentando recriar fen?menos de cont?gio de emo??es em pequenos grupos de agentes, ou mesmo estudar o impacto de cont?gio de emo??o entre agentes virtuais e participantes humanos. Sob a cren?a de que cont?gio de emo??o em agentes virtuais possa levar a comportamentos mais realistas em multi?es, este trabalho foca em recriar modelos computacionais de cont?gio de emo??es destinados a pequenos grupos de agentes, adaptando estes modelos para um contexto de simula??o de multid?es.
Crowd simulation models have been playing an important role in computer sciences for a few decades now, since pioneer works. At the beginning, agents simulated on crowds behaved all the same way, such behaviour being controlled by the same set of rules. In time, simulation models evolved and began to incorporate greater variety of behaviours. Crowd simulation models that implement different agent behaviours are so-called Heterogeneous Crowd models, opposing to former Homogeneous Crowd models. Advances in crowd simulation models that attempt to make agents with more realistic human-like behaviours explore heterogeneity of agent behaviours in order to achieve overall simulation realism. In general, human behavioural and psychological studies are used as base of knowledge to simulate observed human behaviours within virtual agents. Toward this direction, later crowd simulation works explore personality traits and emotion models. Some other work in the field of emotional virtual agents, researchers are attempting to recreate emotion contagion phenomena in small groups of agents, and even studying emotion contagion impact between virtual agents and human participants. Under the belief that emotion contagion in virtual agents might lead to more realistic behaviours on crowds, this work is focused on recreating emotion contagion computational models designed for small groups of agents, and adapting it for crowd simulation context.

Full textThe main objective of this thesis was to bring the theoretical and practical aspects of secondary settling tank developments closer together. This was achieved firstly, by evaluating and developing empirical relationships from which the flux theory constants may be derived from simpler sludge settleability measures; and secondly, by developing a computer model for the simulation of dynamic behaviour of full scale secondary settling tanks. The model was initially developed for and tested on laboratory scale data. It was then calibrated with full scale data and used to verify the flux theory by comparing the simulated predictions and the measured results. The simulations demonstrated that a calibrated and verified dynamic settling tank model based on the flux theory and incorporating various refinements such as turbulent diffusivity implicitly encompasses such features of secondary settling tank behaviour such as maximum underflow concentration and sludge storage concentration and capacity. It was concluded that the simulation program is an improvement on previous simulation programs based purely on the steady state flux theory and should be used as a starting point for developing design theories based on the flux theory.

Full textThe workin this thesis deals with the development of anaeroelastic simulation tool for horizontal axis wind turbineapplications.
Horizontal axiswind turbines can experience significanttime varying aerodynamic loads, potentially causing adverseeffects on structures, mechanical components, and powerproduction. The need of computational and experimentalprocedures for investigating aeroelastic stability and dynamicresponse have increased as wind turbines become lighter andmore flexible.
A finite element model for simulation of the dynamicresponse of horizontal axis wind turbines has been developed.The simulations are performed using the commercial finiteelement software SOLVIA, which is a program developed forgeneral analyses, linear as well as non-linear, static as wellas dynamic. The aerodynamic model, used to transform the windflow field to loads on the blades, is a Blade- Element/Momentummodel. The aerodynamic code is developed by FFA (TheAeronautical Research Institute of Sweden) and is astate-of-the-art code incorporating a number of extensions tothe Blade-Element/Momentum formulation. SOSIS-W, developed byTeknikgruppen AB was used to develop wind time series formodelling different wind conditions.
The model is rather general, and different configurations ofthe structural model and various type of wind conditions couldeasily be simulated. The model is primarily intended for use asa research tool when influences of specific dynamic effects areinvestigated.
Simulation results for the three-bladed wind turbine Danwin180 kW are presented as a verification example.

Full textBy using existing knowledge from the game community, which have had a long experience from game artificial intelligence, and new research
from the field of artificial intelligence I have implemented REACT, a crowd simulation system for visual effects. REACT is based on high-level behaviour that uses an underlying layer of low-level behaviour. The high-level capabilities gives the digital character means to reasoning about how to achieve certain goals based on a knowledge base of rules and facts that are present in the virtual world. This gives the digital character a degree of autonomous intelligent behaviour.
REACT is designed to integrate directly into the 3D animation package Maya as a plug-in. This means that the animators can continue to animate their characters via their animation package of choice, rather than having to learn a new technology. In addition, many animators are already familiar with the workflow of Maya, so learning curves are reduced.
REACT is already in use in the visual effects industry where it has proven itself to be a worthy competitor to the existing systems on the market.
