Operating engineering systems in extremely hot environments often decreases systems' reliability, life cycle, and creates premature failure. This research investigates two novel thermal systems capable of functioning in high temperatures including a cascaded thermoelectric generator (TEG) and a bio-inspired thermal protection system. The first evaluated novel thermal systems is a cascaded TEG that directly converts waste heat into power, and being a solid-state device with no moving parts forms an excellent feature for device life cycle improvement and minimum maintenance in harsh, remote environments. The research findings show that the designed cascaded TEGs can produce power when subjected to high temperatures ranging from 473K to 973K. The remaining part of the research presented in this dissertation models the thermomechanical performance of a lightweight structure, which is inspired by the internal skeleton of the cuttlefish, also knows as the cuttlebone. The cuttlefish's natural ability to support high-deep sea pressure translates into possessing high compressive strength, and when added the fact of being lightweight (up to 93% porosity), the cuttlebone forms an excellent candidate to serve as integrated thermal protection for spacecraft vehicles. The last part of the presented research discuss the thermomechanical analysis of the cuttlebone when subjected to high aerodynamics heat flux generated from friction between the air and spacecraft vehicle exterior, and it was found that the cuttlebone structure resists deformation associated with the steep temperature gradient experienced by the spacecraft vehicle during travel.

Повний текст джерелаThe selection of materials is of utmost importance in gas turbine engines to ensure the security of the passengers, optimize the performances of the aircraft and be cost efficient. In the hottest region of the engines (i.e. combustion chamber and turbine), the components are usually made of nickel-based superalloys. These materials can resist to high mechanical loads at high temperature but are vulnerable to aggressive environments. Therefore, nickel-based superalloys are usually coated to increase their durability in the engine (surface engineering). The chemical composition and the coating architecture are carefully adjusted depending on the temperature regime and the mechanisms of degradation encountered (hot corrosion, oxidation and/or erosion). New synthesis routes and functionalization are currently developed as alternative solutions to industrial processes. As a promising alternative approach, different studies were carried out in the LaSIE laboratory under the European project “PARTICOAT” and confirmed the possibility to elaborate complete thermal barrier systems (diffusion coating + thermal barrier coating) from Al-containing water-based slurries. In this work, the role of Cr as a doping agent was investigated. The addition of Cr decreased the thermodynamic activity of Al upon aluminizing and limited the exothermic reactions usually reported between Al and nickel-based materials. Different architectures of coatings were obtained thanks to the flexibility and the adaptability of the slurry coating process. The gas composition (Ar, air) and the heat treatment conditions were also investigated. Finally, the high temperature resistance of the slurry coatings developed during this work was evaluated under hot corrosion and oxidation conditions

Повний текст джерелаs specific heat capacity is changed by temperature and TGA is a technique in which the mass of a substance is monitored as a function of temperature. Moreover, oxyacetylene ablation tests are conducted for the subliming ablative specimens and measured recession values are compared with the analytically calculated values. Maximum difference between experimental results and analytical results is observed as 3% as seen in Table 7. For the finite element analyses, ANSYS Software is used. A numerical algorithm is developed by using programming language APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language) and element kill feature of ANSYS is used for simulation of ablation process. To see the effect of mesh size and time step on the solution of analyses, oxyacetylene test results are used. Numerical algorithm is also applied to the blunt-nosed section of a supersonic rocket which is made from subliming ablative material. Ablation analyses are performed for the nose section because nose recession is very important for a rocket to follow the desired trajectory and nose temperature is very important for the avionics in the inner side of the nose. By using the developed algorithm, under aerodynamic heating, shape change and temperature distribution of the nose section at the end of the flight are obtained. Moreover, effects of ablation on the trajectory of the rocket and on the flow around the rocket are examined by Missile DATCOM and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis tools.

Microgrids with distributed generators have changed how protection and control systems are designed. Protection systems in conventional U.S. distribution systems are radial with the assumption that current flows always from the utility source to the end user. However, in a microgrid with distributed generators, currents along power lines do not always flow in one direction. Therefore, protection systems must be adapted to different circuit paths depending on distributed generator sites in the microgrid and maximum fuse ampere ratings on busses. Adaptive overcurrent protection focuses on objectives and constraints based on operation, maximum load demand, equipment, and utility service limitations. Adaptive overcurrent protection was designed to protect the power lines and bus feeders of the microgrid with distributed generators by coordinating fuses and relays in the microgrid. Adaptive overcurrent protection was based on the relay setting group and protection logic methods. Non-real-time simulator (NRTS) and real-time simulator (RTS) experiments were performed with computer-based simulators. Tests with two relays in the loop proved that primary relays tripped faster than backup relays for selectivity coordination in the adaptive overcurrent protection system. Relay test results from tripping and non-tripping tests showed that adaptive inverse time overcurrent protection achieved selectivity, speed, and reliability. The RTS and NRTS with two relays in the loop techniques were described and compared in this work. The author was the first graduate student to implement real-time simulation with two relays in the loop at the Burns & McDonnell - K-State Smart Grid Laboratory. The RTS experimental circuit and project are detailed in this work so other graduate students can apply this technique with relays in the loop in smart grid research areas such as phasor measurement units, adaptive protection, communication, and cyber security applications.

With widespread integration of inverter-based distributed energy resources (DERs) in the distribution grid, the conventional protection and control schemes no longer hold valid. The necessity of an adaptive protection scheme increases as the DER penetration in the system increases. Apart from this, changes in system topology and variability in DER generation, also change the fault current availability in the system in real-time. Hence, the protection schemes should be able to adapt to these variations and modify their settings for proper selectivity and sensitivity towards faults in the system, especially in systems with high penetration of DERs. These protection schemes need to be modified in order to properly identify and isolate faults in the network as well as correctly identify Loss of Mains (LOM) or islanding phenomenon. Special attention is needed to plan the next course of action after the islanding occurrence. Additionally, the protective devices in distribution system should be utilized to their maximum capability to create an adaptive and smart protection system. This document elaborately explains the research work pertaining to these areas.

Currently, a void exists in the development of small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can fly at speeds faster than 100 meters per second while maximizing endurance. Operating in such a regime requires the use of a slow-burning solid rocket motor. To achieve long burn times, an end-burning grain configuration is required in addition to a burn rate suppressant. Such a propulsion system presents unique thermal challenges due to the long exposure times and the close proximity of temperature sensitive vehicle components to the combustion reactions. This thesis presents the development of a thermal management system appropriate for small, slow burning solid rocket motors. Thermal protection is provided primarily by a thermally ablative liner with additional layers of fibrous insulation to protect the motor casing and avionics. Due to the complex nature of thermochemical ablation and scarcity of previous research in slow, end burning solid rockets, this problem is approached through both experimental and computational means. Experimental tests are performed on a full-scale model of an end-burning motor. Experimental results are used to validate a computational model of ablation. The ultimate goal is to provide an adequate amount of thermal insulation to protect the vehicle casing and avionics while maximizing propellant volume and hence endurance. Building such thermal management schemes requires innovative materials and machining methods to incorporate thermal protection in a tight space. This thesis adds to the greater body of knowledge of thermal protection design in slow-burning solid rockets, especially as it applies to a new class of small, fast UAVs.

Повний текст джерелаThe theme of this Master project is actual, because it is new and effective step to elevate electrical drives, and also improves the quality of mechanism control. Adaptive speed control system allows the application of the parametric and the signal adaptation principle. In an adaptive control system, which is consist of parametric adaptation principle the change of the controlled object parameters causes the change of the controller settings so that control quality of the system remains constant. Using the signal adaptation principle, the adaptation block forms additional control signal, which acts in a regulator input and guarantees a constant quality of system control, when the object parameters are changing. There has been made research of the parametric adaptation principle application in the electromechanical servo drives. It has been determined that this adaptation principle has disadvantages – adaptation is not instantaneously, but after few cycles. Static load causes the static deviation of the speed. So using the parametric adaptation the moment of inertia is compensated, but load torque can‘t be compensated. The results of the investigation of the signal adaptation principle application in the electromechanical servo drives demonstrate that this adaptation is instantaneously and it does not affected by the load. The signal adaptation compensates the change of the moment of inertia and load torque. The P-PI variable structure controller compensates only the change of... [to full text]

The representation of dynamic systems or plants via mathematical models occupies an important position in control system design that allow the performance evaluation of the controller during his development stage. These models are also used as an alternative to solve the problem of the hardness or impracticability to install sensors that measure the controlled variables, the dynamic systems representations enable non-invasive measurement of these variables. As consequence the designer has an alternative way to perform adaptive and optimal sensorless control for a given process. In this dissertation is presented a proposal for control systems schemas and algorithms, based on recurrent neural networks (ANN) and Box-Jenkins models, that are dedicated to sensorless or indirect control of dynamic systems. The proposed models and algorithms are associated with the systems identification and recurrent ANN approaches. The algorithms developed for the AAN training are Backpropagation Accelerated and RLS types that are compared with classical methods and strategies to obtain it online parameters of indirect control of system for a thermal plant, where the actuator is Peltier cell. The performance the parametric models of the plant and adaptive PID digital controllers and linear quadratic regulator (DLQR) that are the main elements of the sensorless temperature control system, are evaluated by means of hybrid simulations, where the algorithms implemented in micro controllers and the plant represented by mathematical models. The performance results of the proposed sensorless control algorithms are promissory, not only, in terms of the control system performance, but also due to the reexibility to deploy it in other dynamic systems.
A representação de sistemas dinâmicos ou plantas por meio modelos matemáticos ocupa uma posição relevante no projeto de sistemas de controle, permitindo que o projetista avalie o desempenho dos controladores durante a fase de desenvolvimento do projeto. Estes modelos também são utilizados para resolver o problema da dificuldade ou impossibilidade da inserção de sensores em plantas para medição de variáveis controladas, onde os modelos viabilizam a mediação não invasiva destas variáveis, fornecendo uma alternativa para realização do controle indireto adaptativo e ótimo de um dado processo. Nesta dissertação apresenta-se o desenvolvimento de modelos propostos baseados em redes neurais artificiais recorrentes para o controle sensorless ou indireto da planta. Os modelos propostos estão associados com as abordagens de Identificação de Sistemas e de RNA's recorrentes. OS algoritmos desenvolvidos para o treinamento das RNAs são do tipo Backpropagation acelerado e RLS, que são comparados com estratégias e métodos clássicos, para obtenção online dos parâmetros do sistema de controle indireto de uma planta térmica, tendo como atuador uma célula Peltier. Para uns de avaliação de desempenho do sistema de controle indireto da planta, os modelos paramétricos e controladores digitais adaptativos do tipo PID e regulador linear quadrático (DLQR) são avaliados por meio de simulações híbridas, sendo os algoritmos dos controladores implementados em microcontroladores e a planta representada por modelos matemáticos. Os resultados apresentados são promissores, não são sentido do desempenho do sistema de controle, mas também nos custos reduzidos para seu desenvolvimento, operação e flexibilidade de aplicação em outros sistemas dinâmicos.

In this thesis, we proposed Traffic- and Thermal- balanced Adaptive Beltway Routing (TTABR) algorithm and architecture design for performance reduction due to the traffic load and thermal distribution imbalance in thermal-aware 3D network-on-chip (NoC). The minimal path routing on 3D NoC cause the unbalance traffic load, which also induce the thermal distribution imbalance. To ensure thermal safety and avoid huge performance back-off from the temperature constraint, run time thermal management is required. However the regulation of temperature requires throttling of the near-overheated router, which makes the topology become Non-Stationary Irregular Mesh (NSI-mesh). It still has performance degradation, and the traffic load imbalance gets worse. Hence the thermal distribution might also become worse and trigger more routers to be throttled. We manage to break this loop to get a better performance and stable 3D NoC systems. TTABR aims to balance the lateral traffic load. It has providing the non-minimal path to increase path diversity and using novel cascade routing to heave the lateral traffic. TTABR also proposed to solve the traffic load imbalance in the vertical direction. Based on the experimental results, the proposed routing scheme can significantly improve the performance and balance traffic load. For low cost implementation, we also propose memory reduction techniques, and we gain 2.7x throughput improvement for only 26.7% area overhead. The throughput per area of our proposed algorithm is 2.1x compared to other related work.

Os sistemas de proteção térmica são indispensáveis para garantir que veículos espaciais possam aterrar noutros planetas. O próximo grande passo da humanidade ao nível espacial é enviar humanos para Marte. Para uma missão desse género, será fundamental ter um sensor que consiga medir a perda de massa em tempo real e que esses dados sejam enviados para a Terra. O regresso do espaço é um risco para todos os tipos de missões, quer sejam tripuladas ou não tripuladas. Os modelos utlizados para estudar o risco necessitam de um grande volume de dados experimentais para refinar as calibrações e serem mais precisos. Espera-se que os dados recolhidos pelo sensor sejam de grande valor para a otimização dos sistemas de proteção térmica. Este sensor pode reduzir os custos e os riscos destas missões. Este sensor usa a técnica da impedância mútua para medir a espessura da proteção térmica durante o processo ablativo.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of the research presented in this dissertation is to explore the uses of an adaptive multi-agent system for critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP). As the name suggests, CIIP is the process of protecting the information system which are connected to the infrastructure essential to the continued running of a country or organisation. CIIP is challenging due largely to the diversity of these infrastructures. The dissertation examines a number of artificial intelligence techniques that can be applied to CIIP; these techniques range from multi-agent systems to swarm optimisation. The task of protection is broken into three distinct areas: preventing unauthorised communication from outside the system; identifying anomalous actions on computers within the system; and ensuring that communication within the system is not modified externally. A multi-agent learning model, MALAMANTEAU, is proposed as a way to address the problem of CIIP. Due to various problems facing CIIP, multi-agent systems present good opportunities for solving these many problems in a single model. Agents within the MALAMANTEAU model will use diverse artificial and computational intelligence techniques in order to provide an adaptable approach to protecting critical networks. The research presented in the dissertation shows how computational intelligence can be employed alongside multi-agent systems in order to provide powerful protection for critical networks without exposing further security risks.

Повний текст джерелаConventional thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems consist of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat (TC) on a MCrAlY bond coat (BC), where “M” stands for Co, Ni or CoNi. During their service under a combined heat and oxygen load, a reaction zone forms in the BC/TC interface. This reaction zone consists of thermally grown transition metal oxides (TGO). In the present thesis work, a phenomena related to the TGO formation is introduced. Co32Ni21Cr8Al0.5Y BC was overlaid by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technique on Inconel 600 substrates. Thin Al layers were deposited subsequently by DC-Magnetron sputtering on top. Finally, YSZ TC was sprayed by APS technique on the Al layers. The TBC systems were subjected to different thermal treatment procedures in order to investigate the thermo-chemical transformation behaviour of the Al-interlayer. The lifetime of the coatings was investigated under thermal cycling loading with dwell time. The altered TBC systems with Al interlayers (Al-TBC) were compared with the reference TBC systems without Al interlayers (R-TBC). The results show, that the addition of Al layers in the BC/TC interfaces is useful to form a continuous α-Al2O3 layer during the preliminary stage of heat treatment. The in-situ formed dense α-Al2O3 layer obviously acts as a diffusion barrier for oxygen during lifetime test. This has the potential to reduce the formation rate of detrimental oxides. This approach is beneficial to prolong the steady-state growth stage of the TGO, hence allows a higher lifetime for the Al-TBC systems in comparison to the R-TBC systems for the applied thermal loads.:Table of contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Motivation and overall interest 3 3 State of science and technology 5 3.1 Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems 5 3.1.1 Substrate material 6 3.1.2 Ceramic top coating 6 3.1.3 Metallic bond coating 8 3.1.4 Thermally grown oxides (TGO) 12 3.1.5 Approaches on controlled TGO formation 15 3.1.6 Failure modes of TBC systems 17 3.2 Thermal spray technology 20 3.2.1 Atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technique 20 3.2.2 Formation sequence of the coating 21 3.2.3 Structure of the coating 22 3.3 Technology of thin layer deposition 23 3.4 Conclusions from the state of science and technology 24 4 Scientific objectives and work program 26 5 Experimental procedure 30 5.2 Material selection 30 5.3 Feedstock materials and thermal spray powders 32 5.4 Process selection 33 5.5 Specification of the scientific instruments 33 5.6 Detailed experimental procedure 34 5.6.1 Characterization of thermal spray powders 34 5.6.2 Preparation and characterization of overlaid coatings 35 5.6.3 Thermal treatment of TBC systems 39 5.6.4 Characterization of heat treated coating systems 40 5.6.5 Evaluation of TGO thickness and crack propagation 41 6 Results and discussions 43 6.1 Thermal spray powders and as sprayed coatings 43 6.1.1 Thermal spray powders 43 6.1.1.1 CoNiCrAlY thermal spray powder 43 6.1.1.2 ZrO2 – 8 %Y2O3 thermal spray powders 47 6.1.2 As-sputtered Al layer 50 6.1.2.1 Microstructure features 50 6.1.2.2 Elemental and phase composition analyses 50 6.1.3 As-sprayed coating systems 51 6.1.3.1 Bare and Al-covered CoNiCrAlY coatings 51 6.1.3.2 As-sprayed TBC systems 55 6.2 TBC systems after thermal treatment with different spans of dwell time 58 6.2.1 Thermal treatment with 5 and 30 min dwell time 58 6.2.2 Thermal treatment with 60 and 120 min dwell time 67 6.3 Lifetime test of TBC systems 68 6.3.1 Features in the cross section microstructure 68 6.3.2 Phase composition analyses 71 6.3.3 Elemental and Raman analyses 72 6.3.4 Features in the BC/TC of TBC systems after 80 thermal cycles 87 6.4 Thickness of TGO in the TBC systems 89 6.5 Length of cracks in the TC of the TBC systems 91 6.6 Relation between thickness of TGO and length of cracks 93 6.7 Discussion of loading condition and failure mode 95 6.8 Lifetime prediction of the TBC systems 97 6.9 Oxidation model of the TBC systems 98 7 Complementary work with discussion 100 7.1 Oxidation behavior of the TBC systems based on slow heating and cooling rates 100 7.1.1 Thickness of TGO and length of cracks 108 7.1.2 Raman analyses 112 7.1.3 Oxidation model of the TBC systems 116 7.2 Effect of Al content in the metallic coating 118 8 Complementary discussion 121 8.1 Effect of temperature on the oxidation behavior 121 8.2 Effect of deposition technique for metallic coating on the oxidation behavior 122 8.3 Effect of deposition technique for ceramic coating on the oxidation behavior 122 9 Summary and conclusion 124 10 References 128

Повний текст джерелаAo longo dos tempos, mas sobretudo mais recentemente, Portugal tem sido assolado por fogos florestais, com grandes impactos a vários níveis, sejam eles destruição de paisagens, de habitações, perdas de vidas humanas, são algumas das tragédias causadas pelos fogos florestais. Uma estratégia para fazer face a esta calamidade passa pelo desenvolvimento de sistemas de proteção de elementos expostos ao fogo. É neste âmbito que surge o projeto Fireprotect, no qual este trabalho está inserido.O trabalho desenvolvido nesta dissertação faz parte de um destes sistemas de proteção. Trata-se de um sistema de barreiras térmicas que têm como objetivo a criação de perímetros de segurança em torno dos elementos a proteger, sejam eles casas, locais de trabalho, terrenos etc., providenciando uma barreira dupla composta por uma tela ignífuga à base de fibra de vidro para travar o avanço das chamas e proteger dos efeitos radiativos, e por um sistema de aspersão de água para a humidificação do terreno em volta e da própria tela. Estas barreiras são modulares, permitindo que várias unidades sejam acopladas.Este sistema é composto por uma estrutura articulada que se encontra acoplada a uma torre e que necessita de mecanismos para ser estendida e recolhida, mecanismos esses cujo desenvolvimento constitui um dos objetivos deste trabalho. A estratégia usada consistiu num sistema de motores stepper e atuadores controlados através de uma placa eletrónica Wi-Fi, sendo que todos estes elementos se encontram dentro da torre.Foi também realizada a implementação da estrutura articulada e proposta uma nova abordagem à mesma, através da alteração do formato das barras de suporte verticais, de modo a garantir-lhe mais estabilidade. Para proceder à montagem do sistema, foram usadas várias peças feitas por medida.Um dos fatores mais importantes para o sucesso das barreiras é a sua capacidade de sustentação quando sujeitas a vento. Para isso foram também realizados cálculos que permitiram obter as dimensões da estrutura de forma a suportar a força do vento.De seguida a estrutura foi testada em túnel de vento, para verificar como reagia quando sujeita a velocidades de ar de 1,2,3 e 4 m/s.Por último, verificando-se que as barras em X que compunham a estrutura articulada dobravam facilmente, o que causava problemas de estabilidade, surgiu a necessidade de realizar a otimização da geometria da estrutura através de testes de simulação em computador. Estes tiveram como objetivo sugerir novas geometrias para as barras, de modo a garantir-lhes maior estabilidade, no caso, barras de secção circular e de secção quadrada. Foram calculados os deslocamentos que as diferentes soluções sofriam quando sujeitas a forças de compressão.Tanto os ensaios laboratoriais como os testes de simulação serviram para tirar algumas conclusões. Foram também deixadas algumas sugestões para trabalhos futuros, com o objetivo de aperfeiçoar este sistema de proteção.
Over time, but especially more recently, Portugal has been plagued by forest fires, with major impacts at various levels, whether destruction of landscapes, housing, loss of human lives, are some of the tragedies caused by forest fires. One strategy to address this calamity is the development of fire protection systems. This is where the Fireprotect project emerges, in which this work is inserted.The work developed in this dissertation is part of one of these protection systems. It is a system of thermal barriers that aims to create security perimeters around the elements to be protected, and those can be houses, workplaces, land, etc., providing a double barrier composed of a fireproof screen based on fiberglass to stop the advance of the flame and protect it from radiation effects, and a water sprinkler system to humidify the surrounding terrain and the fabric itself. These barriers are modular, allowing multiple units to be coupled.This system consists of an articulated structure that is coupled to a tower and that needs mechanisms to be extended and retracted, mechanisms whose development constitutes one of the objectives of this work. The strategy used consisted of a system of stepper motors and actuators controlled by a Wi-Fi electronic board, all of which are inside the tower.The articulated structure was also implemented and a new approach to it was proposed, by changing the shape of the vertical support bars, in order to guarantee more stability. To assemble the system, several custom-made parts were used.One of the most important factors in the success of the barriers is their ability to sustain wind force. For this, calculations were performed that allowed to obtain the structure dimensions in order to withstand the wind force.The structure was then tested on a wind tunnel to evaluate how it reacted when subjected to air flow velocities of 1, 2, 3 and 4 m / s.Finally, as the X-bars that made up the articulated structure were easily bendable, which caused stability problems, there was the need to make some shape optimization through computer simulation tests. These were intended to suggest new geometries for the bars, in order to guarantee them greater stability, in this case, circular and square section bars. The displacements that the different solutions suffered when subjected to compressive forces were calculated.Both laboratory tests and simulation tests served to draw some conclusions. Some suggestions were also left for future work in order to improve this protection system.

Em particular a proteção de veículos utilizados na supressão de incêndios florestais, associada à capacidade de proteger a vida dos ocupantes, é o objetivo principal deste trabalho, tornando a cabine num abrigo coletivo contra incêndios. Novos materiais cerâmicos, mantas e espumas, são usados no sentido de reforçar a capacidade de proteção sem exigir o uso de grande quantidade de água, que podem não estar disponíveis no caso de encurralamento pelo fogo Este sistema é relevante principalmente para os bombeiros, para melhorar a sua segurança, é de grande interesse para os proprietários dos meios de transporte que possam estar a vigiar áreas suscetíveis ao incêndio, para evitar a sua distrição Instituições públicas e privadas que empregam pessoal envolvido nas atividades de gestão de incêndios irão beneficiar das soluções desenvolvidas. A cooperação com um dos maiores fabricantes de veículos de combate em Portugal foi criada para melhor desenvolver e incorporar as soluções propostas e apresentadas. Vários testes foram realizados com um sistema de simulação de impacto de frente de fogo da ADAI com cabines dos veículos de bombeiros. Esses veículos foram colocados em frente desta frente de fogo com sistema de proteção e sem sistema de proteção as condições dentro das cabines foram registadas e avaliadas com o objetivo de perceber as condições que permitem a proteção das tripulações e consequentemente dos veículos. Além disso, a distância mínima entre a frente de fogo e um bombeiro exposto fora da cabine foi estudada tendo em conta o calor libertado pela frente de fogo para um modelo de um bombeiro colocado em diferentes posições.
In this work was developed and test a thermal protection system applicable to general transport vehicles endangered by an advancing forest fire. It is aimed in particular to protect vehicles used in forest fire suppression to provide a life guard capacity for its occupants. New materials namely ceramic composites and foams were used to develop enhanced protective capacities without requiring the use of large amounts of water that may not be available in the case of fire entrapment. This system is relevant mainly for fire fighters to improve their safety and is of great interest for owners of transport means that may be travelling in fire prone areas, to avoid their destruction. Public and private agencies employing personnel involved in fire management activities will benefit from the developed solutions. A cooperation with Vehicle manufacturer of Portugal was established to improve to incorporate the proposed solutions. Several tests were performed in a system of simulation of fire front impact of ADAI with cabins of firefighter’s vehicles. Those vehicles were placed in front of the fire fronts with protection and without protection and the conditions inside of the cabins are registered and evaluated with the goal of realise the conditions the allows the protection of the crews. Also the minimum distance between the fire front and a firefighter was studied taking in the account of the heat realised by the fire front to a model of firefighter.

Повний текст джерелаLithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have become integral parts of our lives; they are widely used in applications like handheld consumer products, automotive systems, and power tools among others. To extract maximum output from a Li-ion battery under optimal conditions it is imperative to have access to the state of the battery under every operating condition. Faults occurring in the battery when left unchecked can lead to irreversible, and under extreme conditions, catastrophic damage. In this thesis, an adaptive fault diagnosis technique is developed for Li-ion batteries. For the purpose of fault diagnosis the battery is modeled by using lumped electrical elements under the equivalent circuit paradigm. The model takes into account much of the electro-chemical phenomenon while keeping the computational effort at the minimum. The diagnosis process consists of multiple models representing the various conditions of the battery. A bank of observers is used to estimate the output of each model; the estimated output is compared with the measurement for generating residual signals. These residuals are then used in the multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) technique for generating probabilities and for detecting the signature faults. The effectiveness of the fault detection and identification process is also dependent on the model uncertainties caused by the battery modeling process. The diagnosis performance is compared for both the linear and nonlinear battery models. The non-linear battery model better captures the actual system dynamics and results in considerable improvement and hence robust battery fault diagnosis in real time. Furthermore, it is shown that the non-linear battery model enables precise battery condition monitoring in different degrees of over-discharge.
