Full textSoftware development and program manipulation become increasingly complex with the massive adoption of parallel architectures, requiring significant expertise from developers. While numerous programming models and languages allow for creating efficient programs, they fall short at helping developers to restructure existing programs for more effective execution. At the same time, automatic approaches are overly conservative and imprecise to achieve a decent portion of the systems' performance without supplementary semantic information from the developer. To answer these challenges, we propose the interactive program restructuring approach, a bridge between semi-automatic program manipulation and software visualization. It is illustrated in this thesis by, first, extending a state-of-the-art polyhedral model for program representation so that it supports high-level program manipulation and, second, by designing and evaluating a direct manipulation visual interface for program restructuring. This interface provides information about the program that was not immediately accessible in the code and allows to manipulate programs without rewriting. We also propose a representation of an automatically computed program optimization in an understandable form, easily modifiable and reusable by the developer both visually and textually in a sort of human-machine partnership. To support different aspects of program restructuring, we design and evaluate a new interaction to communicate supplementary information, not critical for the task at hand. After an empirical study of developers' attention distribution when faced with visual and textual program representation, we discuss the implications for design of program manipulation tools in the instrumental interaction paradigm. We expect interactive program restructuring to make program manipulation for optimization more efficient and widely adopted
Mathieu, Bérangère. "Segmentation interactive multiclasse d'images par classification de superpixels et optimisation dans un graphe de facteurs." Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017TOU30290/document.
Full textImage segmentation is one of the main research topics in image analysis. It is the task of researching a partition into regions, i.e., into sets of connected pixels, meeting a given uniformity criterion. The goal of image segmentation is to find regions corresponding to the objects or the object parts appearing in the image. The choice of what objects are relevant depends on the application context. Manually locating these objects is a tedious but quite simple task. Designing an automatic algorithm able to achieve the same result is, on the contrary, a difficult problem. Interactive segmentation methods are semi-automatic approaches where a user guide the search of a specific segmentation of an image by giving some indications. There are two kinds of methods : boundary-based and region-based interactive segmentation methods. Boundary-based methods extract a single object corresponding to a unique region without any holes. The user guides the method by selecting some boundary points of the object. The algorithm search for a curve linking all the points given by the user, following the boundary of the object and having some intrinsic properties (regular curves are encouraged). Region-based methods group the pixels of an image into sets, by maximizing the similarity of pixels inside each set and the dissimilarity between pixels belonging to different sets. Each set can be composed of one or several connected components and can contain holes. The user guides the method by drawing colored strokes, giving, for each set, some pixels belonging to it. If the majority of region-based methods extract a single object from the background, some algorithms, proposed during the last decade, are able to solve multi-class interactive segmentation problems, i.e., to extract more than two sets of pixels. The main contribution of this work is the design of a new multi-class interactive segmentation method. This algorithm is based on the minimization of a cost function that can be represented by a factor graph. It integrates a supervised learning classification method checking that the produced segmentation is consistent with the indications given by the user, a new regularization term, and a preprocessing step grouping pixels into small homogeneous regions called superpixels. The use of an over-segmentation method to produce these superpixels is a key step in the proposed interactive segmentation method : it significantly reduces the computational complexity and handles the segmentation of images containing several millions of pixels, by keeping the execution time small enough to ensure comfortable use of the method. The second contribution of our work is an evaluation of over-segmentation algorithms. We provide a new dataset, with images of different sizes with a majority of big images. This review has also allowed us to design a new over-segmentation algorithm and to evaluate it
Song, Xiaoxiao. "Layout optimization based on multi-objective interactive approach." Thesis, Ecole centrale de Nantes, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022ECDN0051.
Full textThe conventional layout problem is concerned with finding the arrangements of components inside the container to optimize objectives under geometrical constraints, i.e., no component overlap and no container protrusion. A multi-objective layout model with functional constraints is developed. Integrating the accessibility of components as functional constraints ensures components maintenance or proper operation. However, thefunctional constraints increase the layout optimization complexity, denoted as capacity index. Therefore, a novel multi-objective optimizationalgorithm is proposed using the constructive placement and the simulated annealing to search for compromised solutions between the multiple objectives. Thereafter, a similarity indicator is defined to evaluate how similar optimized layout designs are. The experiments indicate that the proposed optimization approach performs well in ensuring accessibility and efficiently finding high-qualified solutions in single- and multi- container layoutapplications, where the similarity analysis demonstrates good diversity of the obtained layout set, which can be applied as an interactive tool

Full textRobot-assisted surgery, or “robotic”surgery, has been developed to address thedifficulties with the traditional laparoscopicsurgery. The da Vinci (Intuitive Surgical, CA andUSA) is one of the FDA-approved surgical robotic system which is widely used in the case of abdominal surgeries like hysterectomy and cholecystectomy. The technology includes a system of master and slave tele-manipulators that enhances manipulation precision. However, inadequate guidelines and lack of a human machine interface system for planning the ports on the abdomen surface are some of the main issues with robotic surgery. Unreachable target and mid-surgery collisions between robotic arms are the major problems that surgeons complain about in robotic surgery. The objective of this research is to design a new decision-support tool for planning port placement in robotic surgery. The decision support system will be able to determine the optimal location of the entrance ports on the abdomen surface that is specific to the patient

Full textWe present in this work a new incremental algorithm for building proximity graphs for large data sets in order to solve a clustering problem. It is inspired from the self-assembly behavior observed in real ants where ants progressively become attached to an existing support and then successively to other attached ants. Each artificial ant represents one data. The way ants move and build a graph depends on the similarity between the data. A graph, built with our method, is well suitable for visualization and interactively exploration depending on the needs of the domain expert. He can visualize the global shape of the graph and locally explore the neighborhood relations with a content-based navigation. Finally, we present different applications of our work as the interactive clustering, the automatic graph construction of documents and an immersion in a virtual reality environment for discovering knowledge in data

Full textPreliminary design decision-making processes are related to the prioritisation of design specifications and variables in order to develop solutions that are closer to product's requirements. Nevertheless, the size of the information is often large and hard to understand: keeping in track the list of dependent variables, independent variables and design objectives is a challenging task, with potentially reprocessing and loss of time, especially when it is necessary to identify how a modification on a variable might impact the performance of the product.The objective of this thesis is to generate a method that can obtain a trade-off among the design objectives desirability. This trade-off process is supported on two aspects: i) the development of a traceability model, managing information from the input requirements (in the linguistic field) up to the variables definition (in the real numbers field). ii) A design amelioration framework, based on the definition of the design objectives desirability functions; the propagation of these functions until design variables allow to calculate the combinations of values that maximise the global desirability of the solution.The proposal of the thesis can be understood as a hybrid approach, including an interactive exploratory part and an inductive interactive part. On the exploratory part, designers can modify the variables using visual tools in order to understand in real time how these modifications have an impact on the design objectives. On the inductive part, designers make use a proposed pre-sizing method that calculates the values of the variables that maximise the desirability of the design objectives. This proposal is developed to perform on a multidisciplinary design environment, facing, either convex and non-convex problems
Fontecha, Dulcey Gilberto. "Modèle paramétrique, réduit et multi-échelle pour l’optimisation interactive de structures composites." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BORD0247/document.
Full textThe design process of laminated composites faces a major challenge: while an engineer designing a metallic based mechanical product is mainly focusing on the development of a shape that will guarantee a specific behavior, the engineer designing a composite based product must find the best combination of the shape-material structure. Therefore, he must simultaneously create a material and the product topology. The number of design solutions can be huge since the solution space is considerable.Standard CAE systems (CAD, Finite Element Simulation) do not provide an approach to explore these solution spaces efficiently and interactively. A new numerical procedure is proposed to allow engineers to handle each design parameter of a laminated composite structure, each at its relevant scale.First, the Parametric and Reduced Behavior Model (PRBM) is a separated model that enables reasoning based on1- A multiscale approach: the mechanical parameters of the structure are explicitly described as coming from the material quality of each fiber, the matrix, each layer and the topology of the laminate,2- A multiphysical approach: independently the mechanical behavior of each layer and each interface is processed, leading to the behavior of the laminate. Some situations of static and dynamic behavior are studied. In the case of dynamic behavior, the creeping becomes a conceptual issue.Secondly, a method mixing fractional derivatives and the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) method allowed the creation of the PRBM. Integrated into a Parametric Knowledge Model (PKM) with other expert knowledge models, the PRBM makes the basis of an interactive method of design support.The PKM is processed by an evolutionary optimization method. As a result, the designer can interactively explore the design space. To qualify our models and our PRBM, we study two problems of design of laminated composite structures. The solutions determined are qualified versus finite element simulations or according to an empirical approach
El diseño de una estructura compuesta es un desafío mayor, mientras que un ingeniero que diseña un producto mecánico con materiales metálicos se concentra principalmente en el desarrollo de una geometría que garantice un comportamiento específico, el ingeniero que diseña un producto con materiales compuestos debe encontrar la mejor combinación forma – estructura del material. De esta manera, el ingeniero debe diseñar simultáneamente el material y la topología del producto, razón por la que esta combinación se vislumbra compleja, puesto que los espacios de solución son gran tamaño.Las herramientas CAO y de simulación por elementos finitos no ofrecen al diseñador una metodología que permita explorar los espacios de solución de manera interactiva y rápida. Por lo tanto, este trabajo de tesis propone un nuevo enfoque numérico que permite manipular parámetros de diseño que caracterizan la estructura compuesta, cualquiera que sea la escala de pertinencia.Como primera medida, el modelo de comportamiento paramétrico y reducido (Parametric and Reduced Behavior Model, PRBM) es un modelo definido de manera separada que permite:1- Un enfoque multiescala: los parámetros mecánicos se presentan de manera explícita en términos de las propiedades de cada fibra, de la matriz, de cada capa y de la topología del mismo apilamiento.2- Un enfoque multifísico: el comportamiento mecánico de cada capa y cada interface se modela de manera independiente para dar lugar al comportamiento del apilamiento. Se estudian situaciones de casos de comportamiento estático y dinámico. En el caso dinámico en particular, se tiene en cuenta también la característica viscoelástica de las interfaces.Como segunda medida, un método que combina derivadas no enteras y el uso de la descomposición propia generalizada (PGD), permite la realización del PRBM. Este constituye la base de un método interactivo de ayuda al diseño, pues está integrado dentro de un modelo de conocimiento (PKM) que también incorpora mejores prácticas aprendidas por expertos.El PKM es utilizado por un método de optimización evolucionaria. De esta manera, el diseñador puede explorar de manera interactiva los espacios de solución. Para validar nuestros modelos y el PRBM, se estudian dos problemas de diseño de estructuras apiladas. Las soluciones obtenidas se comparan con respecto a simulaciones obtenidas por el método de los elementos finitos y con respecto a resultados experimentales

Full textDesigning a highly interactive application implies to make a compromise between the efficiency of the graphical renderer and the expressive power offered to the graphical designer. Thus, classical WIMP toolkits are powerful in terms of rendering, but do not allow the user to finely tune the final rendering of the graphics, or to change their behavior. In order to enhance the process of designing graphical applications and the ability to reuse them, the description of the interactive part has to be separated from the implementation and the optimizations. This thesis presents different way to separate description from optimizations. First, it presents Hayaku, a graphical toolkit that relies on a graphical compiler. Hayaku allows the interaction designer to produce himself the final interactive application. It helps an iterative development cycle. Then, we have worked on the simplification of the description for the final user when she has to create visualizations. We introduced the software FromDaDy to support this creation of large amount of data. Moving the image creation task on the GPU allows us to show a simpler model to the final user. Finally, we have simplified the description of a low algorithm (point based labeling placement algorithm) by using the GPU memory instead of the CPU. This allows us to suppress early complex optimizations and enhance the performances

Full textHydrodynamic instabilities which may appear during drop formation and/or impact are of particular interest both from a fundamental and applied poin ofview. The main objective ofthis work is the modeling of the impact and spreading of a single or several drops on surfaces which may be pattemed either chemically and/or topographically. Two complementary techniques are detailed: a conservative Level-Set method useful when flow velocity is important and a lubrication method which may be used in the case of surface and/or slow gravity driven flows. Moreover this work proposes to combin the two above cited method and the good agreement with existing transient experimental profiles demonstrate the interest of the approach in the case 0 particularly intricate flows. Ln terms of application, several case related to digital printing and in-situ DNA synthesis are studied in detail. The propose(models are used to numerically simulate the spreading of a single and or of several drops on weil characterized industrial substrates. This work should help to provide design criteria for improving the overall performance of devices in a number of microfluidic applications where pattemed surfaces are used for monitoring flows

Full textBonding process generalization within aerospace, aeronautical and automotive structures faces the need of quantitative non-destructive evaluation of assemblies. Laser shock adhesion test (LASAT) meets this requirement by applying a calibrated stress to bonded joints and using non-destructive diagnostics to determine the post-shock state of the joint. The calibrated stress must disbond weak joints and keep correct assemblies intact. Optimal laser parameters determination aims at implementing this non-destructive proof test (ND-LASAT). It is achieved through application of a well-defined methodology, which implies the concerned assembly characterization by an experimental and numerical approach, followed by an optimization step. Optimization implies diversification of laser-matter configurations. Use of numerical tools for predicting loadings applied to bonded joints is then required. Models development within a multi-physics code is proposed and validated here to respond to this need. A significant effort has been made for evaluating models’ precision. Experimental demonstration of ND-LASAT process is achieved on three different bonded assemblies, and thus validating both methodology and numerical chain developed in this study
Duran-Venegas, Eduardo. "Modélisation et optimisation d'un rotor à pales flexibles." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AIXM0195.
Full textRotors have been historically developed for harvesting and propulsion. For wind turbines and helicopters, decades of research have been done to optimize their design. For recent applications, such as drones, no such a research effort has been made. The high flexibility of the rotor and the different operational conditions still constitute challenging issues for their design. In this work, a coupled fluid-structure model is proposed, taking into account the flexibility of the blades in non-conventional operational conditions.The model is sufficiently simple and robust to permit extensive parameter studies. It includes a model for the wake, a model for the flexible rotor structure and the coupling. Two different wake models are considered: a classical Joukowski model, where two vortices are emitted per blade, one at the tip and one at the axis, and a generalized Joukowski model where the axial vortex is replaced by a hub vortex emitted away from the center. A stability analysis of the solutions derived with the classical Joukowski model is performed. The convective/absolute nature of the instability is analysed for various operational conditions.Stationary wake solutions are used to calculate the flow in the rotor plane. Kutta-Joukowski law and Blade Element Theory are applied to obtain the aerodynamic loads exerted on the blades. The full coupling of the rotor with its wake is first implemented for a rigid configuration. Coupled solutions are obtained for different rotors and compared to experimental and numerical data published in the literature. Finally, blade flexibility is considered using a rod model for the blade

Full textGiven the current energy transition conjuncture, where the electricity production and the electricity grid are challenged, the hydraulic potential of low current sites is relevant and remains under-exploited. In such context, this thesis studies a novel concept of an energy harvester device: the fully passive flapping foil turbine. Bioinspired from aquatic animals swimming technique, this hydrokinetic energy harvester consists of an oscillating foil describing periodic heaving and pitching motions, entirely induced by fluid-structure interactions. The first part of this thesis deals with the development of a numerical model for accurately simulating the harvester behavior. Then, a reduced scale prototype of the fully passive flapping foil has been designed and tested in a water channel. Thanks to an original dynamic tuning strategy of the structural parameters, experiments have been conducted for a wide range of configurations of the harvester. The investigation of the harvesting performances of the prototype helped identifying several optimized parameters sets. In such cases, hydraulic efficiencies as high as 30% have been reached. The main results of this thesis allow to consider a full scale fully passive flapping foil harvester in realistic conditions. As a matter of fact, the optimized cases identified for the reduced scale prototype can be naturally extended to real operating conditions

Full textThis PhD thesis deals with the optimization of oxygen transport in arterial microcirculation by the research of an optimal value of red blood cells concentration. In this part of the vascular network, the vessels diameters range over several orders of magnitude, therefore the physical phenomena describing blood circulation are of different nature. So, we divided our study into two parts. In the first part we model a network of small arteries whose diameters range from 1,5 mm to 500 um. The model takes into account the non-Newtonian behavior of the blood viscosity. First, we show the existence of optimal values for red blood cells concentration. Then we study by analytical and numerical means the behavior of those optimal values according to variations of geometrical parameters of the network. Last, we discuss physiological interpretations of these values. In the second part we study the capture of oxygen in idealized pulmonary capillaries of 8 um diameters containing a succession of regularly spaced cells. To treat the fluid-structure interaction problem between the fluid and the deformable cells membrane, we develop a 2D axisymmetrical numerical method based on finite elements method called the "camera" method, which is an adaptation of the standard ALE method (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian). The camera method enables to follow the red cell without the need to model the whole capillary. The modeling of oxygen transport not only takes into account the convection and diffusion of hemoglobin and oxygen, but also the chemical reactions between both species inside the red blood cells. Thanks to our model, we identified a "screening" phenomenon that limits the capture of oxygen by red blood cells, and we were able to study the effect of pulmonary edema

Full textThis thesis aims, in a first step, at proposing a synthesis of the various existing representations of multimedia scenes. This synthesis provides an overview of scene descriptions languages or formats, of the associated coding techniques and of the general processing of multimedia scenes. It shows, in particular, the problems associated with the animation, compression, interactivity, delivery and finally the visualization of multimedia scenes. In a second step, it proposes improvements to existing solutions. These proposals are twofold. First, this thesis proposes a set of methods to ensure an efficient representation of highly animated scenes, such as cartoons described in the MPEG-4 BIFS, W3C SVG and MPEG-4 LASeR formats, and taking into account the constraints of mobile devices. Second, this thesis proposes an innovative architecture and implementation of an multimedia player featuring a compromise between memory and speed of execution. This thesis concludes, after recalling the constraints of the mobile world, with a synthesis of technological choices to make, in the vast library of tools available in the field scene descriptions, to develop a multimedia service for mobile devices

Full textToday, robotic manipulators are being called upon to perform an increasingly wide range of tasks that extend beyond the conventional ones required in traditional applications. One such type of application is physical human-robot interaction. In order for such systems to be safe, it can be desirable to decrease their weight and strength by reducing the size of their actuators.Indeed, reducing the size of the actuators increases safety in two manners, the inertia of the manipulator decreases and the torques generated by the motors are greatly reduced. However, the main drawback of such manipulators is the reduction of their payload capacity.Therefore, better usage of the limited joint efforts is required to enable them to perform tasks that they would normally not be able to accomplish. Thus, this thesis presents a study of two main types of tasks where an effective trajectory optimisation strategy can be particularly valuable. The first task is that of lifting heavy objects, i.e., objects that exceed the conservative estimate of the payload capacity of a manipulator. Studying this task could lead to the design of lighter,more capable manipulators. This work focuses on studying trajectory generation methods to enable manipulators with relatively weak actuators to lift heavy payloads by fully utilizing their dynamics. The second task studied in this thesis is the task of throwing objects. Specifically, the distance throwing capabilities of manipulators is studied where the maximum distance that an object can be thrown with a given manipulator is sought. This task is studied at three levels of complexity: finding the maximum possible throwing capacity of manipulators with velocity constraints, finding the maximum throwing capacity considering a full trajectory with kinematic constraints, and finding the maximum throwing capacity considering a full trajectory with dynamic constraints. Finally, performance criteria are established from these two types of tasks in order help in the process of designing a new manipulator. Thus, a simple design optimisation simulation is performed as a proof of concept.

Full textCell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that can enter many cell types and transduce into cells a wide range of molecular therapeutics (nucleic acid, proteins, peptides, small molecules, etc.). Our laboratory has developed the secondary amphipathic peptide CADY able to promote the transport of small interfering RNA (siRNA) independently of all endocytotic pathways. Indeed, siRNA therapeutic interest lies on its ability to inhibit specifically deregulated proteins in the context of pathology. The subject of my thesis focused on the characterization and optimization of CADY/siRNA complexes. During my work, we have been able to show that CADY adopts a helical structure while interacting with the siRNA leading to the formation of nanoparticles. The goal of my study was to optimize CADY sequence and control its formulation to consider the transferring from an in cellulo to an in vivo application of our vectorization system. First, we conducted a structure-activity study with six analogues by mutating CADY on tryptophane residues (PSF1, 2, 3 and PSW) and in the area initializing helical structure (PG9, PG16). A thorough analysis of these analogues has confirmed that the limitation of the amphipathic character and structural polymorphism is directly related to the reduction of internalization efficiency of our CPPs. Among the six analogues, only PG16/siRNA and PG9/siRNA nanoparticles show in cellulo results equal to those obtained with CADY/siRNA. Based on the fact, that CADY is the most suitable vector for the transfection of therapeutic molecules such as siRNA, we have established a standard formulation procedure to obtain reproducible and homogeneous CADY/siRNA complexes with an average size of 106 ± 31 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.357 ± 0.053. In addition, we have implemented an extrusion/lyophilization step to allow nanoparticle storage as powder, which can be re-suspended in an aqueous solution without losing their colloidal and transfection properties.In order to improve tissue specificity and bioavailability of CADY/siRNA nanoparticles for an in vivo application, we have grafted ether a targeting sequence (YIGSR-S) or a stealth motif (PEG) to the CADY sequence. These two entities of very different nature provoke only few changes in the physicochemical (e.g. average size) and biological (cell transfection) characteristics of the nanoparticles formed with a siRNA. These results are very encouraging for the development of the so-called 3rd nanoparticle generation which includes several kinds of molecules (targeting, polymer, contrast agent etc.).These outcomes mark the real progress in CADY formulation optimization, and encourage us to further exploit its potential for the in vivo transfer of siRNA

Full textModelling and simulation of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary has become a powerful tool to expedite the catenary design process since, among other advantages, it helps in reducing the number of the costly experimental in-line tests. In order to tackle these numerical simulations, in this Thesis the catenary system is modelled by the Finite Element technique, while a simple lumped-mass model is used for the pantograph. The interaction between the two systems is accomplished with a penalty formulation. After solving the initial nonlinear configuration problem, the equation of motion is linearised with respect to the static equilibrium position and it is then solved by applying the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) time integration method. However, dropper slackening and pantograph contact losses are two sources of nonlinearities which must be considered in the solution procedure at the expense of an increase in the computational cost. The main objectives of this Thesis are both to find optimal catenaries in terms of current collection quality and to analyse the effect of installation errors in the dynamic behaviour of the system. To achieve these goals, it is mandatory to perform a large number of pantograph-catenary dynamic simulations for which the computational cost can become prohibitive. In order to reduce this computational effort, the first proposal made in this Thesis is to precompute a parametric solution of the pantograph-catenary dynamic interaction for all values of the design variables, by means of the Proper Generalised Decomposition (PGD) technique. If dropper lengths are considered as design variables, this parametric approach is successful when applied to the static equilibrium problem. Nevertheless, in the dynamic case, when dropper slackening is considered, the solution exhibits a great sensitivity to small changes in the parameters and therefore, a huge number of PGD modes are required to obtain the parametric solution with enough accuracy. The impossibility of having a parametric solution leads the author to propose a fast strategy to simulate the dynamic interaction problem, providing remarkable saves in computational cost. The method is divided into two stages which are based on moving the nonlinear terms to the right hand side of the dynamic equation. In the first stage, the response of the system under unitary forces is precomputed and stored. Then, in the second stage of the method, the treatment of the nonlinearities is condensed into a small system of equations, whose unknowns are now the forces associated with the nonlinearities instead of the nodal displacements of the whole system. With this proposed algorithm, it is possible to carry out efficient optimisations of the catenary geometry. Specifically, contact wire height and dropper spacing are considered as design variables in order to obtain the most uniform interaction force that leads to the optimal current collection. The optimisation problem is solved by means of a classic Genetic Algorithm, applied to both simple and stitched catenaries. The results obtained show that an optimal catenary design can remarkably improve the current collection quality of the actual catenaries. Finally, the influence of the installation errors on the dynamic behaviour of the system is analysed under a stochastic approach in which variability in dropper length, dropper spacing and support height are involved in the simulations. The use of a Monte Carlo method allows the propagation of the uncertainty to the magnitudes of interest of the dynamic solution and therefore, to obtain their probability density function. The results of Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that dropper spacing errors are slightly influential, whilst dropper length and supsupport height installation errors have a strong influence on the dynamic behaviour of the system.
El modelatge i la simulació de la interacció dinàmica entre el pantògraf i la catenària ha esdevingut en una ferramenta imprescindible per a agilitzar el procés de disseny de catenàries ferroviàries degut, entre altres coses, a la possibilitat de reduir el nombre dels tan costosos assajos experimentals en via. Per a la realització d'aquestes simulacions numèriques, la catenària es modela mitjançant el mètode dels Elements Finits, mentre que el model de pantògraf és de paràmetres concentrats. La interacció entre ambdós sistemes es tracta amb un mètode de penalti. Després de resoldre el problema no-lineal de configuració inicial, l'equació del moviment es linealitza i es resol amb la tècnica HHT. Tanmateix, l'afluixament de les pèndoles a compressió i la pèrdua de contacte del pantògraf són dues fortes no-linealitats que han de ser considerades en la resolució del problema dinàmic, malgrat l'augment que produeixen del cost computacional de cada simulació. Els objectius principals d'aquesta Tesi són trobar catenàries òptimes en termes de qualitat de captació de corrent i analitzar els efectes dels errors de muntatge de la catenària. Per a assolir-los és necessari realitzar un nombre elevat de simulacions de la interacció dinàmica entre pantògraf i catenària, el que pot comportar un cost computacional prohibitiu. Per tal de reduir el cost computacional, la primera proposta consisteix a calcular una solució paramètrica del problema d'interacció dinàmica entre pantògraf i catenària, per a qualsevol valor de les variables de disseny, mitjançant la tècnica Proper Generalised Decomposition (PGD). Si les longituds de les pèndoles es consideren com a variables de disseny, l'aplicació d'aquest mètode és exitosa en el cas del problema d'equilibri estàtic, però no en el cas del dinàmic, on es considera que les pèndoles no poden transmetre força a compressió. La solució del problema és molt sensible a xicotets canvis de les variables i per tant, es necessita un elevat nombre de modes PGD per a obtenir una solució paramètrica amb suficient precisió. La segona proposa consisteix en el desenvolupament d'una estratègia per a resoldre el problema d'interacció dinàmica que reduïsca considerablement el temps de simulació. L'algoritme proposat es divideix en dues fases i es basa a moure els termes no lineals a la part dreta de l'equació de la dinàmica del sistema. Després de calcular i s'emmagatzemar la resposta del sistema a forces unitàries, en la segona etapa del mètode, el tractament de les no linealitats es condensa en un xicotet sistema d'equacions les incògnites del qual passen a ser forces en compte de desplaçaments. Amb aquest algoritme eficient, s'ha pogut realitzar l'optimització de la geometria de catenàries ferroviàries. En concret, l'altura del cable de contacte i la separació entre pèndoles es consideren com a paràmetres a optimitzar per a obtenir una òptima captació de corrent. L'optimització es porta a terme mitjançant un Algoritme Genètic clàssic, i s'aplica a diferents tipus de catenàries. Els resultats obtinguts indiquen que un disseny òptim de la geometria pot millorar notablement la captació de corrent de les actuals catenàries. Finalment s'estudia la influència que tenen les errades de muntatge de la catenària en el comportament dinàmic del sistema. Aquest plantejament estocàstic considera variabilitat en la longitud de les pèndoles, la separació entre aquestes i l'altura dels suports. Per mitjà d'un mètode clàssic de Montecarlo, es propaga la incertesa a les magnituds d'interés i s'obté la seua funció de densitat de probabilitat. Els resultats mostren que hi ha molt poca influència per part de les errades comeses en la col·locació de les pèndoles, mentre que errades en la longitud de les pèndoles i en l'altura dels suports sí que influeixen considerablement en el comportament dinàmic del sistema.

Full textThe objective of this work is the realization of a system allowing to assist the travellers, and to facilitate their movement in normal and degraded functioning of the transport network. This system aims to minimize the waiting time of the travellers, in degraded mode, at exchanges stations and to assure them, as well as possible, the continuity of their journey in the multimodal transport networks. So it improves the quality of the service returned to the travellers in order to inform them. A first part of the work in this thesis concerns conception, development and validation of our approach which allows giving optimal or almost optimal solutions for a normal and disrupted transport system. This approach uses a multi-objective method of search for optimal route which leans on a hybridization between a modified Dijkstra algorithm and a genetic algorithm. The modified Dijkstra algorithm gives us a set of solutions serving as initial population for the genetic algorithm. The modelling of the transport system is represented by multi-zones architecture. This architecture shows us the distributed aspect of the system, and the interactions and the relations which can take place among various zones. We present in this work a Multi-agent system of Help to the Movement. These agents use the module of optimization developed in the first part. Our work is realized within the framework of the "VIATIC-MOBILITE" project, which is the project 6 of the I-Trans Competitiveness cluster

Full textPrinting quality idea is hard to control. In industry, eye is often used to judge the quality of a printed polymer film. In order to get a new level in terms of printing quality and get “point by point” or “all-over” quality, it is necessary to find a way to quantify printing quality. Some elements are important concerning the quantification of the printing quality: an optical microscopic image, a value of the average intensity and a value on the homogeneity of the color. We can define, for a calendered and a coated substrate, the main parameters acting on the printing quality. Printing speed and pressure of the rubber roll are the two main process parameters to act, viscosity and surface tension of the ink are the two main ink properties to act, while the calendered substrate is more sensitive to the variation of the parameters than the coated one

A decision maker using an optimization system may get a solution that he considers inappropriate. It is possible for him, if he uses an interactive reoptimization system, to add a constraint or a preference and to require a new solution. However, preferences for the various values composing the solution are usually lost over the iterations. This thesis proposes an approach for taking into account the user’s preferences. It uses mathematical goal programming techniques. A methodology for implementing the approach is also proposed. Finally, a comparison is made between the proposed approach and another one using heuristics to solve the problem of interactive planning of contributions and withdrawals from a Registered Education Savings Plans. In both cases, the prototypes make it possible to adjust, in real time, and from the tip of the mouse, the solutions on interactive graphics. The prototype, moved by specific heuristics, does not allow the user to reach all admissible solutions. This is often caused by circular adjustments problems where the user may reach a previous state after some iterations. The prototype using mathematical goal programming allows the user to navigate coherently through the solution space. In most contexts, this method should make it easier for the decision maker to access his preferred solution.

Full textRadiance caching methods have proven efficient for global illumination. Their goal is to compute precisely illumination values (incident radiance or irradiance) at a reasonable number of points lying on the scene surfaces. These points, called records, are stored in a cache used for estimating illumination of other points in the scene. Unfortunately, with records lying on glossy surfaces, the irradiance value alone is not sufficient to evaluate the reflected radiance; each record should also store the incident radiance for all incident directions. Memory storage can be reduced with projection techniques using spherical harmonics or other basis functions. These techniques provide good results with low shininess BRDFs. However, they get impractical for shininess of even moderate value since the number of projection coefficients increase drastically. In this paper, we propose a new radiance caching method, that handles highly glossy surfaces, while requiring a low memory storage. Each cache record stores a coarse representation of the incident illumination thanks to a new data structure called Equivalent Area light Sources (EAS), capable of handling fuzzy mirror surfaces. In addition, our method proposes a new simplification of the interpolation process since it avoids the need for expressing and evaluating complex gradients. Moreover, we propose a new GPU based visualisation method which exploits these EAS data structure. Thus, interactive rendering is done faster than existing methods. Finally, physical ligting simulations need to manipulate spectral physical quantities. We demonstrate in our work how these quantities can be handle with our technic by adapting the record influence zone depending on the radiance gradients and the geometry around the records

Full textModal synthesis methods are an efficient way of analyzing the dynamic behaviour of complex structures. The aim of this thesis is to generalize modal synthesis methods to allow the description of systems featuring acoustical cavities using specific modes. These modes are linked to the various elements resulting from a systemic approach to the problem. Thus, volume modes describe acoustical cavities, surface modes describe two-dimensional elements, and line modes describe the linear elements and singularities of the system. Structures considered in this report resemble those found in the automotive industry. Constituting elements are thus plates, shells, hollow parts and acoustic cavities. Concerning the hollow parts, a specific modal analysis method allows to take into account their structural form, using only a small number of degrees of freedom. The modal analysis methods described in this work can be used to optimize complex structures based on acoustical criteria. These criteria stem from the matrices appearing in the modal analysis process. They are linked to the pressure level in the acoustic cavities, and allow a separate analysis of the various “vibro-acoustical paths” responsible for the noise. First, the optimization is performed on the geometry of the hollow parts of the structure. Secondly, porous media are introduced on the plates constituting the structure, and the fluid-structure coupling method is adapted to take the resulting phenomena into account

This work suggests two optimizations: a) application of the genetic algorithms to optimize the character layout on soft keyboard; b) the KeyGlass system which proposes additional characters (thanks to systems of character prediction) near to the last character tapped. To be able to evaluate the contribution of the optimizations carried out and their usability, we designed the evaluation platform E-Assiste which aims to fill a lack of corpus of tests and environments of evaluation and to allow the study of the uses of our systems in situ

Full textThe work presented in this thesis aims at the modelling and optimisation of a set Converter-Machine that is intended to run at high speeds. The first part is a state of the art of the conception methodologies related to the optimal design of drives and investigates the particularities of high speed operations. Then, an analytic and multiphysic modelling of the elements of the system is performed. But, in order to carry out a global optimal conception, the significant interactions between the various elements of the system must be modelled. This is achieved through a precise electrical model – that is the core of the characterization of the interactions – involving an original harmonic approach. From this follows a modelling of the interdependences between inverter and machine in the system losses and in the torque quality. The models are then associated with a genetic algorithm according to a hybrid methodology of conception involving analytical and finite-element models. Finally, this procedure is applied to the design of two drives of which the motor is a PMSM with circumferentially magnetised magnets. These two cases have been successfully handled and clearly show the assets of a “System” approach for the design of drives. In addition, the morphologies of the optimal machines are analysed according to their rotation speed. This analysis highlights some interesting abilities of this kind of machines – in high speed – regarding the magnetic and mechanical behaviours, and the rotor losses

Full textFinite element models and the complexity of vehicle passenger compartments make it harder the optimization, mainly because of expensive computing resources and multiple coupled phenomena of fluid-structure problems. Strategies to improve time and memory performance consist in the use of reduction methods, and combined with efficient optimization techniques, vibro-acoustic solutions of better quality can be performed. The complexity of the system is taken into account thanks to a hierarchical optimization process. Both reduction method and gradient-based optimization algorithm are investigated. Based on modal synthesis, special criteria help to determine critical vibration propagation paths. A modified SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming) algorithm is also developed in order to provide a faster convergence speed. Such process is to be applied on an academic example and hollow parts and panels of a whole passenger compartments. It allows to find relevant and non obvious solutions by minimizing noise and vibration transfer functions in a relatively wide range of frequencies
