Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Computation for Design and Optimization Program, May, 2020Cataloged from the official PDF of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 172-178).
With the rapid rise in the use of air conditioning systems and technological advancements, there is an ever-increasing need for optimizing the HVAC systems for energy efficiency while maintaining adequate occupant thermal comfort. HVAC systems in buildings alone contribute to almost 15% of the overall energy consumption across all sectors in the world and optimizing this would contribute positively towards overcoming climate change and reducing the global carbon footprint. A relatively modern solution is to implement a smart building-based control system and one of the objectives of this study is to understand the physical phenomenon associated with workspaces conditioned by chilled beams and evaluated the methods to reduce energy consumption.
Building upon the initial work aimed at creating a workflow for a smart building, this thesis presents the results of both experimental and computational studies of occupant thermal comfort with chilled beams (primarily in conference rooms) and the various inefficiencies associated. Results from these studies have helped to inform an optimum location for the installation of a chilled beam to counter the effects of incoming solar irradiation through an external window while keeping the energy consumption low. A detailed understanding of the various parameters influencing the temperature distribution in a room with chilled beams is achieved using CFD studies and data analysis of experimental data logging.
The work converges into a fundamental question of where, how, and what to measure to best monitor and control the human thermal comfort, and a novel technique was presented using the existing sensors which would provide a significant improvement over other existing methods in practice. This technique was validated using a series of experiments. The thesis concludes by presenting early works on hybrid HVAC systems including chilled beams and ceiling fans for higher economic gains. Future work should seek to perform CFD simulations for a better understanding of hybrid HVAC systems, both in conference rooms and open-plan office spaces, and also to design a new sensor that could better estimate human thermal comfort.

The lateral line system on fish has been found to aid in schooling behavior, courtship communication, active and passive hydrodynamic imaging, and prey detection. The most widely used artificial prey stimulus has been the vibrating sphere, which some fish are able to detect even when the signal velocities to its lateral line are orders of magnitude smaller than background current velocities. It is not clear how the fish are able to extract this signal. This thesis uses a series of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, matched with recent experiments, to quantify the effects of 3D fish body parts on the received dipole signals, and to determine signal detection abilities of the lateral line system in background flow conditions. An approximation is developed for the dipole induced, oscillatory, boundary layer velocity profile over the surface of a fish. An analytic solution is developed for the case when the surface is a wall, and is accurate at points of maximal surface tangential velocity. Results indicate that the flow outside a thin viscous layer remains potential in nature, and that body parts, such as fins, do not significantly affect the received dipole signal in still water conditions. In addition, the canal lateral line system of the sculpin is shown to be over 100 times more sensitive than the superficial lateral line system to high frequency dipole stimuli. Analytical models were developed for the Mottled Sculpin canal and superficial neuromast motions, in response to hydrodynamic signals. When the background flow was laminar, the neuromast motions induced by the stimulus signal at threshold had a spectral peak larger than spectral peaks resulting from the background flow induced motions.
(cont.) When the turbulence level increased, the resulting induced neuromast motions had dominant low frequency oscillations. For fish using the signal encoding mechanisms of phase-locking or spike rate increasing, signal masking should occur.

Full textAbstract:
Användande av CAD-program har blivit standard inom produktframtagning och erbjuder många verktyg för konstruktörer. Under de senaste åren har intresset för miljö-tänk växt inom många industrier och i framtiden förmodas företag satsa mer och mer på miljömässigt hållbar produktutveckling för att klara av hårdare miljökrav. Projektet syftar till att på konceptuell nivå utveckla verktyg tänkta att integreras i ett befintligt CAD-program. Verktygen implementeras i form av ett insticksprogram och skall under konstruktionsfasen hjälpa användaren i dess arbete genom att bland annat presentera information om CAD-modellen och förbättra arbetsflödet. Projektet berör ej programmering eller framtagning av kod för implementering i CAD-program. Metoden som används för utveckling av verktyget är ”Osborn-Parnes creative problem solving process” och inkluderar litteraturstudier, intervjuer och enkäter.Konceptutvecklingen innefattar design av ett flertal verktyg och funktioner tänkta att användas i CAD-miljö, både vad gäller innehåll och grafik. Befintliga CAD- och insticksprogram undersöks för att skapa ett så realistisk resultat som möjligt. Skulle vidareutveckling av insticksprogrammet ske behövs grundligare användarstudier göras med erfarna CAD-konstruktörer och mer information inhämtas om krav på programmeringsdelen.CAD computer programs have become standard tools within product development and offer designers many tools. For some time now, the interest for environmental thinking has grown within many industries and it is expected that companies in the future will put more and more effort into environmentally friendly product development to meet higher standards. This project aims to, on a conceptual level, create tools to be integrated in an existing CAD computer program. The tools will be implemented as a plug-in and try to aid the user during the design phase by presenting useful information about the CAD-model and enhance the workflow. The project does not include programming or implementing code in existing programs. The method used in developing the tools is the “Osborn-Parnes creative problem solving process” and includes literature studies, interviews and questionnaire studies. The concept development includes creating content and designing layout, resulting in a number of tools to be used in CAD program workspace. Existing CAD programs and plugins are looked at to create a finished result being as realistic as possible.Should further development of the plugin take place, a more thorough user study is needed to be carried out, including professional CAD designers. More information is also needed to investigate the possibilities of programming the plug-in.

L’obiettivo di questa tesi è valutare la possibilità di impiegare il modulo di analisi fluidodinamica del codice CAD Solidworks (Floworks) per svolgere i calcoli usuali in fase di progetto concettuale degli aeromobili.
Per valutare l’usabilità dello strumento e la sua precisione sono stati modellati, all’interno del software CAD 3D, tre velivoli dell’aviazione commerciale appartenenti a diverse categorie di aeromobili, dei quali sono noti tutti i dati relativi a dimensioni, pesi, coefficienti aerodinamici e profilo tipico di missione.
Assumendo il modello CAD 3D modellato come geometria di riferimento, è stato svolto il calcolo delle forze aerodinamiche tramite Floworks ed è stato sviluppato un algoritmo in Matlab per ricavare i valori dei coefficienti C_Le C_D (coefficiente di portanza e resistenza rispettivamente) a partire dai dati in uscita dalla CFD, che sono stati poi riportati graficamente in figure.
In un secondo momento sono stati confrontati i risultati del codice Floworks con quelli forniti dalla letteratura per ogni singolo velivolo e con i valori calcolati attraverso le metodologie tipicamente usate nelle stime preliminari dei progetti concettuali. In questo modo è stato valutato il grado di precisione dello strumento di analisi CFD ed è stato analizzato l’errore atteso in caso di impiego nel progetto preliminare degli aeromobili.
Infine, come caso di studio, è stato modellato un nuovo velivolo pensato per la partecipazione a una competizione indetta dall’ICAO, del quale sono state verificate le caratteristiche per comprendere come l’uso dei CFD può essere inserito nel ciclo di sviluppo di un prodotto aeronautico.
La tesi si conclude con alcune considerazioni riepilogative riguardo all’errore atteso in base al coefficiente aerodinamico di interesse.

CAD (Computer Aided Design) software allows one to describe a design in great detail and at any arbitary scale. However, our interface to CAD is still largely through traditional avenues: screen, keyboard and pointing devices. While these interfaces function for their intended purposes: text entry, pointing, browsing, etc, they are not designed for the purpose of mediating the flow of information from and to a physical workpiece. Traditional input interfaces are limited in the sense that they lack a direct connection with the workpiece, forcing the user to translate information gathered from the workpiece before it can be input into the computer. A similar disconnect also exists in the realm of output from the computer. On one extreme, the screen as an output interface forces the user to interpret and translate information conveyed graphically to the context of the workpiece at hand. On the other extreme, devices like CNC machines and 3D printers lack a way for the user to engage with the fabrication and to iteratively change design parameters in realtime. In this work, I present, two handtools that build on the philosophy of Free-D ([1] and [2]), a smart milling tool recently developed in our research group. to create a similar interface between Computer Aided Design and the physical workpiece, in entirely different application domains. The two handtools are BoardLab and Nishanchi. BoardLab is a smart, context-aware oscilloscope probe that can be used to dynamically search for just-in-time information on electronic circuit board design data and to automatically annotate the design data with measurements and test data. Nishanchi is a handheld inkjet printer and 3D digitizer that can be used to print raster graphics on non-conformable surfaces.

Full textAbstract:
Flap, aileron, rudder, elevator, speed brake, stick, landing gear and similar movable systems used in aerospace industry have to operate according to the defined requirements and mechanisms used in those systems have to be synthesized in order to fulfill those requirements. Generally, without the use of synthesis tools, synthesis of mechanisms are done in CAD environment by trial-error and geometrical methods due to the complexity of analytical procedures. However, this approach is time consuming since it has to be repeated until the synthesized mechanism has suitable mechanism properties like transmission angle and connection points. Due to above reasons, a software developed for synthesis of mechanisms within the CAD environment can utilize all the graphical interfaces and provides convenience in mechanism design.
In this work, it is aimed to develop a four-bar mechanism synthesis tool which is compatible with CATIA V5 by considering the requirements of aerospace industry. This tool performs function, path and motion synthesis and shows suitable mechanisms in CATIA according to input obtained from CATIA and mechanism properties.

This research investigated Computer Aided Design (CAD) education in the interior design. program focusing on educators' opinions about creativity aspects including computer application, teaching materials and teaching methods as well as other trends in CAD education. A questionnaire was sent to one hundred eighty-two members of the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC).
A frequency distribution was used on 69 usable returned surveys to describe the sample characteristics and to determine the teaching materials and support. Means and T-tests were employed to examine if a significant difference of opinions toward CAD integration existed between designers based on creativity, teaching materials, and teaching approaches.
Findings indicate that educators are thinking positively regarding the creativity aspects of teaching CAD. There was no significant difference between IBM educators and Apple Macintosh educators in terms of opinions concerning creativity and teaching approaches and also no significant difference in the educators who are using more flexible teaching approaches and the educators who are using more rigid teaching approaches in terms of creativity. Educators thought CAD courses are most helpful for students' future careers. Educators remarked that their college, department, and other faculties are generally very supportive. Overall the educators had fewer than 4 years of experience in teaching CAD. One or two CAD educators were teaching in each interior design program. IBM personal computer, AutoCAD software, instructor prepared tutorials were the most used teaching materials.

Full textAbstract:
After the extension of the boiler 6 at Högdalenverket during 2010, there has been some problems in the form of increased carbon monoxide levels. There may be several explanations for this problem, which means that complete combustion doesent take place. There have also been problems with the ash-handling system and the sand returning systemt, this results in higher operating costs because it requires a higher consumption of inert material.The project was first divided into two phases, the first phase was to develop material and energy balances for the boiler but also introduce the parameters that we wanted to investigate further in order to possibly identify the causes of the problems that the boiler had. In the second phase experiments were going to be designed in consultation with the contact staff at Fortum to explore these parameters.During the project changes have been made in the project description, as it will require more time and more accurate planning to perform the desired tests on the boiler. Three proposals on parameters that could be the cause of carbon monoxide problem was presented at the end of phase one and it was found that two of the proposals was not possible to carry out during the project because it would have affected economically and the availibility of the boilier.The third parameter, the bed quality effect on combustion experiment was designed in consultation with those responsible at Fortum.This experiment could also not be performed as there was some operational difficulties with the boiler during the project time. Instead, a description of the design for the experiment has been added to this project, which may at a later stage be used to investigate the bed quality impact on the carbon monoxide issues.Recent changes to the project description meant that purpose instead was to further develop the computational program created during the project's first phase and at the end of the project shall be submitted to the operators at Fortum. This calculation program takes into account the significant parameters that the boiler regulator is governed by today. The simulation program is developed using Microsoft Excel and is based on material and energy balances. This program can be used internally by Fortum to get an idea of how the different mass flow rates would vary at different operating conditions and how the energy balance for the boiler would look like during the changes.When compared with materials and energy made by the boiler supplier revealed that the deviations are very small compared to what the program come up with and is caused mainly due to the assumptions made. These assumptions can be eliminated by performing experiments and collecting more data.The results gained by the calculation program has been compared with the results that was presented by the supplier during their boiler mapping, comparisons have been made regarding flue gas flows, fuel flows, combustion air flow, ash production and energy balances. It has apperad that the deviations are relatively small and the presented scheme provides a theoretical overall perspective of the boiler in line with reality.Although discussions have taken into consideration for the problem of elevated levels of carbon monoxide, and whether the measurement program can be developed further in the future.Efter ombyggnationen av panna 6 vid Högdalenverket under år 2010, har det uppkommit en del problem i form av förhöjd kolmonoxid halt. Det kan finnas ett flertal förklaringar till problemet som innebär att fullständig förbränning inte sker. Det har även varit problem med askhanteringssystemet och sandåterföringen som inte fungerat som den ska, detta medför högre driftkostnader då det kräver en högre förbrukning av inertmaterial. Projektet var indelat i två faser, där den första fasen var att ta fram material- och energibalanser på pannan men också presentera de parametrar som man ville undersöka vidare för att möjligen identifiera orsakerna till de problem som pannan haft. I den andra fasen skulle experiment utformas i samråd med ansvariga från Fortum för att undersöka dessa parametrar. Under projektets gång har ändringar fått göras på projektbeskrivningen, då det krävs mer tid och noggrannare planering för att utföra test på pannan. Tre förslag på parametrar som kunde vara orsaken för CO problemen presenterades i slutet av fas ett och det konstaterades att två av förslagen inte gick att utföra under projektets gång på grund av både ekonomiska och driftrelaterade orsaker. Den tredje parametern bädd kvaliténs påverkan på förbränningen bestämdes i samråd med ansvariga i Fortum att utföras. Detta experiment kunde dock inte utföras då det uppstod vissa driftrelaterade svårigheter med pannan under projektets gång. Istället har en beskrivning av utförandet av experimentet lagts till detta projekt, som kan vid ett senare skede användas för att undersöka bädd kvaliténs påverkan på CO-halten. Nya ändringar av projektbeskrivningen innebar att syftet istället blev att vidareutveckla det beräkningsprogram som skapats under projektets första fas och som vid projektets slut ska överlämnas till de driftansvariga på Fortum. Detta beräkningsprogram tar hänsyn till de betydande parametrar som pannan regleras genom idag. Beräkningsprogrammet är framtaget med hjälp av Microsoft Excel och är grundat på material- och energibalanser. Detta program kan användas internt inom Fortum för att få en fingervisning på hur de olika massflödena skulle variera vid olika driftfall samt hur energibalansen för pannan då skulle se ut. Vid jämförelse med material- och energibalans som gjorts av pannleverantören framgick det att avvikelserna är väldigt små jämfört med det vi framtagit, samt att det beror främst på de antaganden som gjorts. Dessa antaganden kan elimineras genom att utföra experiment och få in mer data. Resultatet som fåtts av beräkningsprogrammet har jämförts med det resultat pannleverantören fick vid sin pannkartering med hänsyn till rökgasflöde, bränsleflöden, förbränningsluft flöde, askproduktion och energibalanser. Det har framkommit att avvikelserna är relativt små och det framtagna programmet ger ett teoretiskt helhetsperspektiv av pannan som överensstämmer med verkligheten. Även diskussioner har förts till åtgärder för problemet med förhöjda halter av kolmonoxid, samt huruvida beräkningsprogrammet kan vidareutvecklas i framtiden.

The goal of this study was to obtain photometry of three poorly studied close binary star systems. These observations were obtained at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona and the Ball State University Observatory. In both cases charged coupled device detectors were used. Light variations were detected in all three stars. For one of the binaries the temperatures of the component stars were found by fitting multi-color light curves with black body models. In addition, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres of the secondary star was found. This difference is believed to be the product of heating by the stellar companion.Department of Physics and Astronomy

Dois dos principais objetivos no estudo da aerodinâmica de veículos comerciais são a redução no consumo de combustível e o aumento na eficiência da refrigeração do motor. Esses objetivos podem ser alcançados através do desenvolvimento de dispositivos que modifiquem o escoamento do ar ao redor do veículo e também através da alteração da forma das superfícies externas. A inclinação das superfícies da parte traseira de um ônibus, por exemplo, tem grande influência sobre a esteira turbulenta que se forma atrás do veículo. O uso de ferramentas computacionais permite uma redução de custo e maior flexibilidade na análise aerodinâmica de autoveículos. Ainda é preciso, no entanto, que o resultado dessas ferramentas computacionais seja verificado com o maior número possível de casos para que se possa escolher e ajustar o modelo matemático de forma adequada. O objetivo do presente trabalho é a verificação dos resultados computacionais e experimentais no desenvolvimento de metodologias que visem à redução no consumo de combustível e aumento na eficiência da refrigeração do motor. Foram comparados resultados experimentais e computacionais do escoamento sobre um modelo de um ônibus comercial em escala 1:17,5. Para a realização do experimento foi utilizado um túnel de vento de seção aberta, onde foram analisadas as distribuições de pressão nas superfícies da carroceria e o arrasto aerodinâmico. Para o teste computacional, foi utilizado um software de dinâmica dos fluidos computacional em que as equações de Navier-Stokes com média de Reynolds são resolvidas pelo método dos volumes finitos usando um modelo de turbulência RNG 'capa' - 'épsilon'Two main objectives in the study of commercial vehicle aerodynamics are the reduction in fuel consumption and the improvement in engine refrigeration efficiency. These objectives can be achieved through development of devices which vary the flow characteristics around the vehicle and also through modification of the shape of external surfaces. The slope of rear surfaces, for instance, has large influence over the wake turbulence which forms behind the vehicle. The use of computational tools yields cost reduction and greater flexibility in automotive aerodynamic analysis. There is still a need, however, for verification of results, generated by these computational tools, with the largest possible number of test cases so that the mathematical model is adequately chosen and adjusted. The objective of the present work is the verification of experimental and computational results in the development of methodologies aiming at reduction of fuel consumption and improvement in engine refrigeration efficiency. Experimental and computational aerodynamic results were compared for a commercial bus model with a 1:17.5 scale. The experiments were conducted in an open section wind tunnel where pressure distribution and aerodynamic drag were analyzed. The numerical analysis was conducted using computational fluid dynamics software which solves the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the finite volume method with a RNG 'capa' - 'épsilon' turbulence model

Full textAbstract:
Fabrication of a 3D structure and surface texture using excimer laser mask
projection ablation processes typically requires the machine operator to develop a specific
NC part program for the desired structure geometry, and also incorporate appropriate
machine parameters to achieve the desired surface finish. The capability of the laser
ablation process could therefore be significantly improved by developing a CAD/CAM
system that automatically generates the NC part program using the 3D information of the
CAD model of the desired structure. Accordingly, the focus of this research was to
develop such a system that is, an effective CAD/CAM system specifically for excimer
laser mask projection micromachining tools.
To meet these requirements, a unique combination of commercially available
systems was used to develop the new CAD/CAM system. The systems used comprised of
a computer aided, feature based parametric design system (SolidWorks), together with
its extended programming capabilities based on Automated Programming Interface (API)
functions for Windows applications, and Visual Basic (VB) 6.0 programming utilities.
The system's algorithms use a novel methodology to extract the 3D geometry of a
microstructure. Two different techniques have been developed to extract the 3D data.
First, where 3D geometry information from a CAD model was defined as a Stereolithography
(STL) file, and second, where this information has been contained in a set of
bit-map (BMP) files that represent a sliced or layered structure of a CAD model. Based
on this, first an algorithm to create NC part programs to support Step-and-repeat
micromachining technique was developed and then successfully extended to be applicable
for another commonly used micromachining method, Workpiece-Dragging technique.
The systems algorithms for both techniques are based on the raster-colour
programming technique, resulting in substantially reduced mathematical complexity and
computational time. This is the first time this approach has been used to support direct
conversion of 3D geometry from a CAD model into an NC part program compatible with
the excimer laser CNC controller. 2D mathematical models for controlling edge and
stitching errors were also implemented in the system.
An additional technique, named as 'Common Nest' has been developed with the
aim to enable automatic NC part programming when microstructure design to be
completed successfully, requires use of multiple complex mask patterns as a projection
tool instead of just a single square aperture.
The effectiveness of the system was verified by NC part program generation for
several 3D microstructures and subsequent machining trials using polycarbonate (PC) and
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and optimised processing parameters. Excellent
agreement was obtained between the laser machined geometries and the microstructure
CAD models. The Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (LSCM) measured the lateral
dimensions tolerance of 2m.
The system was also successfully applied for a practical micro-engineering
application, for the development of a microfluidics cell transportation device.

Este trabalho avalia a potencialidade da geração de ortoimagens advindas do sensor CCD do CBERS 2 produzidas através de um modelo matemático generalizado, a Transformação Linear Direta (DLT). O modelo de transformação foi implementado na linguagem Delphi 4.0 por alunos de pós-graduação da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), sendo gerado um utilitário para adaptar a leitura do Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) do SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) no programa. A área utilizada como teste é uma região de relevo variando de plano a acidentado com variação de até 700m de altura, localizada no Centro Oriental Paranaense e abrangendo o cânion do Guartelá. Para a geração das ortoimagens utilizou-se de duas fontes de informação altimétrica, um MDE gerado pela missão SRTM e outro MDE gerado por curvas de nível e pontos contados de cartas topográficas na escala 1:50.000. Foi realizado o processo de ortorretificação de um recorte da cena CBERS utilizando os diferentes MDE’s, sendo as ortoimagens analisadas por testes estatísticos, e classificadas pelo Padrão de Exatidão Cartográfica (PEC) com o uso de pontos de verificação. Para a avaliação da necessidade de ortorretificação da cena CCD CBERS 2 o mesmo recorte foi também corrigido geometricamente por um polinômio de 2°. Os resíduos planimétricos gerados pela simples correção através do polinômio de 2° demonstram que há necessidade do processo de ortorretificação, ou seja, correção de erros devido à topografia do relevo nesta cena. E a comparação entre as ortoimagens geradas pelos diferentes MDE’s demonstra que é satisfatória a utilização do MDE do SRTM na ortorretificação de imagens advindas do sensor CCD do CBERS 2.This work evaluates the orthoimages generation potentiality of the CCD sensor from the CBERS 2, by using a generalized mathematical model, say, the “Direct Linear Transformation (DLT)”. The transformation model was implemented by the pos graduated students from the Federal University of Paraná using the Delphi 4.0 language, and in this task an utilitarian software to adapt the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) function, on the program was produced. The land area surface used for trial is localized at the Paraná Oriental Centre and comprising the Guartelá canyon, varies in shape from an irregular to a plane embossment where variations up to 700m in height are found.Two DEM sources of altimetry information data for the orthoimages generations were used: The first generated from SRTM mission and the another one developed from contour lines and topographic points counted in a 1:50.000 scale. A orthorretification process, of a cutting out scene from the CBERS, was realized utilizing both MDE´s. The images were analyzed by statistics inferences and classified according to the Padrão de Exatidão Cartográfica (PEC) using check points. To evaluate the CCD CBERS 2 scene orthorefications necessity, the same cutting out was also object of geometric corrections having a second degree polynomial as a tool. The planimetrics residues generated by the second degree polynomial simplified corrections were just enough to demonstrate the necessity of the orthoretification process, it is, corrections of errors due to the embossment topography at the considered scene. The comparison of the images produced by the differents DEM´s demonstrate that the utilization of the DEM from the SRTM is a satisfactory tool for images orthoretifications of the CBERS 2.

Full textAbstract:
This Master’s thesis is summery of a comparative study of 2 commercial CAD-integrated
FE-programs. These FE-programs were CATIA v5 and ABAQUS 6.3-7. The primary
objective of this study is to investigate the basic FEA capabilities of CATIA and
ABAQUS 6.7-3 in performing the linear static analysis and to identify whether there are
any differences and similarities between results the both Finite Element FE codes give.
The overall research question in the present thesis is: Do different FE programs, here
CATIA and ABAQUS, give the same results for FE analysis giving the same models if
subjected to the same boundary conditions? This research seeks to achieve its aims
through making a comparative qualitative study. Certain pre-selections were performed in
advance of conducting Finite element analysis and the comparison process to ensure that
results would reflect only the most relevant and meaningful differences and similarities
between the both FE-codes. Five different 3D solid models have been selected to perform
linear static Finite element analysis on. All these models (case studies) are created in
CATIA V5 and the linear static analysis conducted on using FE-codes CATIA v5 and
ABAQUS 6.7-3. Three static responses (results) of the linear static analysis have been
adopted as criteria for comparisons purposes. These criteria were: (1) displacements, (2)
Von Mises stress, and (3) principal stress. The results of comparisons showed that there is
a very good agreement in most cases and small gap between in a few cases. Results of
this study demonstrate that the both FE-programs CATIA v5 and ABAQUS 6.7-3 have
good capabilities to perform FE-analysis and they give very near results. Reason behind
differences is that each of them uses a different algorithm for solving problems. The final
answer for the research question is given with valuable recommendations for future work
in the scope of this research.

Full textAbstract:
ANTECEDENTES DEL TEMA: El CAD (computer-aided detection) es un software de ayuda que podría proporcionar apoyo al radiólogo para la detección del cáncer de mama.
HIPÓTESIS: El protocolo de doble lectura puede ser reemplazado por un protocolo de lectura única por un radiólogo seleccionado asistido por CAD en un programa de cribado poblacional de cáncer de mama.
OBJETIVOS CONCRETOS:
a-Determinar la sensibilidad y especificidad del CAD en la detección de neoplasias invasivas de menos de 1 cm.
b-Valorar la influencia de factores radiológicos en la sensibilidad del CAD.
c-Determinar el funcionamiento del programa de detección precoz de cáncer de mama en el área de influencia del Hospital Clínic con un nuevo protocolo consistente en lectura única por radiólogo seleccionado con CAD.
d-Valorar la aplicabilidad del nuevo protocolo de lectura.
METODOLOGÍA:
a- Se estudiaron de forma retrospectiva 68 cánceres invasivos ≤ 10 mm. Variables: características radiológicas, tamaño, categoría BI-RADS ® (breast imaging reporting and data system) e histología de los cánceres.
b-Se realizó un estudio longitudinal y prospectivo en el que los datos de 21.321 mamografías de cribado en rondas incidentes (2010-12) fueron leídas siguiendo un protocolo de lectura única por radiólogo seleccionado y avalado por sus buenos resultados históricos (tasa de detección >4.4 ‰ y tasa de recitación : 5-10 %) + CAD y comparadas con los datos procedentes de 47.462 mamografías de cribado en rondas incidentes del periodo anterior (2004-10) que fueron interpretadas siguiendo un protocolo estándar de doble lectura + arbitraje. Variables: tasa de detección, tasa de recitación, tasa de biopsia, valor predictivo positivo de la recitación.
RESULTADOS:
a-La sensibilidad del CAD para cáncer de mama infiltrante igual o menor a 1 cm fue de 86.7% y la especificidad fue del 26 %.
b-El tipo de patrón radiológico y la densidad de las lesiones son variables que influyen de forma significativa en el rendimiento del CAD.
c-Periodo 2010-12 vs periodo 2004-2010: Tasa de detección: 6.1 ‰ (95%CI:5.1-7.2) vs 5.25 ‰. Tasa de recitación: 7.02 % (95%CI:6.7-7.4) vs 7.24 (lectores seleccionados antes del arbitraje) y vs 3.94 (todos los lectores después del arbitraje). Valor predictivo positivo de la recitación: 8.69 % vs 13.32%. Tamaño medio de los cánceres invasivos: 14.6 ± 9.5 mm vs. 14.3 ± 9.5 mm. Estadio: 0 (22.3/26.1%);I (59.2/50.8%); II (19.2/17.1%); III (3.1/3.3%); IV (0/1.9%).
CONCLUSIONES:
1-El CAD tiene una elevada sensibilidad y una muy baja especificidad para detectar cáncer de mama. El elevado número de marcas falsas positivas constituye su principal limitación.
2-El CAD es muy fiable para señalar la presencia de grupos de calcificaciones y también aquellas lesiones tumorales que son hiperdensas en la mamografía. Por el contrario, su habilidad en detectar distorsiones es mucho menor.
3-El aumento en la detección de cáncer con el nuevo protocolo de lectura es atribuible fundamentalmente a la selección de radiólogos más que al CAD propiamente dicho, que no detectó ningún cáncer que no hubiera sido previamente visto por el radiólogo. La tasa de recitación en el protocolo histórico fue más contenida lo que es atribuible al papel del árbitro.
4- La detección de cáncer de mama con el nuevo protocolo se ha mantenido estable con tendencia a mejorar respecto a los valores históricos por lo que puede procederse a la implantación del nuevo protocolo de lectura sin merma en el número de cánceres diagnosticados siempre que se pueda realizar una adecuada selección de radiólogos y el área clínica pueda absorber un moderado aumento de la recitación.HYPOTHESIS: The double reading protocol can be replaced by a single reading plus CAD protocol in a breast cancer screening program. AIMS: a- To determine CAD performance with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in pT1a-b breast cancers b- To determine the performance of our screening program by reading mammograms with a new protocol (single reading by a selected radiologist plus CAD) compared to a historical period of double reading plus arbitration. METHODS: 1- Sixty-eight screening-detected invasive breast cancers less than or equal to 1 cm were retrospectively studied. Radiological characteristics of lesions following BI-RADS descriptors were recorded and compared with CAD sensitivity. 2-Data from 21,321 consecutive screening mammograms in incident rounds (2010–2012) were read following a new protocol consisting of a single reading plus CAD and compared with data from 47,462 consecutive screening mammograms in incident rounds (2004–2010) that were interpreted following a double reading plus arbitration protocol. For the single reading protocol, radiologists were selected on the basis of the appraisement of their previous performance (cancer detection rate > 4.4 ‰ and recall rate: 5-10 %). RESULTS: 1- CAD showed an overall sensitivity of 86.7 % (masses, 86.5 %; calcifications, 100 %; masses with calcifications, 100 %; and architectural distortion, 57.14 %), CAD failed to detect 9 out of 68 cases. Fifteen out of 37 masses were hyperdense, and all of them were detected by CAD. No association was seen among mass morphology or margins and detectability. Per-study specificity and CAD false positive rate was 26 % and 1.76 false marks per study. 2- Period 2010–2012 vs. period 2004–2010: Cancer detection rate (CDR): 6.1‰ (95% CI: 5.1–7.2) vs. 5.25‰; Recall rate (RR): 7.02% (95% CI: 6.7–7.4) vs. 7.24% (selected readers before arbitration) and vs. 3.94 (all readers after arbitration); Specialized breast radiologists performed better than general radiologists. CONCLUSIONS: 1- CAD shows a high sensitivity and a low specificity which is its main drawback. Mammographic features and lesion density influence CAD sensitivity. 2- The CDR of the screening program improved using a single reading protocol by experienced radiologists assisted by CAD, at the cost of a moderate increase of the recall rate mainly related to the lack of arbitration.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de códigos de computador que têm a finalidade de automatizar as etapas principais de um projeto de estruturas metálicas através das linguagens AutoLISP e Delphi5. Os projetos de estruturas metálicas em estudo são os de coberturas com treliças planas constituídas de barras com perfis tubulares laminados sem costuras e seus contraventamentos. Estes perfis tubulares, ainda pouco utilizados em estruturas planas no Brasil, vêm sendo disseminados através do uso de programas que ajudam os engenheiros a utilizá-los adequadamente em seus projetos tendo em vista que resultam em estruturas mais leves e de fácil fabricação. Desta forma, houve a necessidade de desenvolver um sistema CAD/CAE, para automatizar a geração das geometrias das estruturas planas, além das representações gráficas do sistema geral tridimensional de contraventamentos da estrutura - CAD; exportar os dados para um programa integrado que realiza um processo otimizado de toda a análise estrutural e dimensionamento - CAE e, finalmente, retornar os dados processados para o ambiente CAD, para realizar o detalhamento automático das ligações da estrutura treliçada analisada. Todos os procedimentos adotados para automação dos projetos seguem recomendações de normas técnicas brasileiras principalmente a NBR8800/1986
Abstract: This work has as objective to show a software that have the goal to automate the main stages of a steel structural design, using AutoLISP and Delphi5 languages. The steel structural designs in case are the roofs formed by plane trusses made by hollow sections frames. These hollow steel sections, which are not highly used in plane structures in Brazil, are being disseminated by the use of softwares that help civil engineers to use them correctly in their designs, in view of that they result in less weighted and easy manufactured structures. So, there is the necessity to develop a CAD/CAE system, that will automate the generation of the geometries from plane structures and the graphical designs from the three-dimentional general system - CAD; also, we have the necessity to export the data to an integrated computer program that executes an optimized process from the entire structural analysis and design - CAE; and, finaly, to return the proceeded data back to CAD environment, to draw the automatic details from the connections of the analyzed structure. All the procedures and methods used to automate the design follows the specifications of Brazilian Design Codes, mainly the NBR-8800/1986

The documentation includes a total drawing over the machine and a risk analysis performed by a group employers on the company. The computer program that i used to make the drawings is Catia V5. The work that the company and the student performed ended up in a CE-marking of the machine.
Sammanfattning (på svenska)
Arbetet med att CE-märka och skapa ett ritningsunderlag på en befintlig maskin genomfördes på företaget Polytec Composites Sweden AB i Ljungby. Företaget har konstruerat och tagit fram en maskin som finns i 6st exemplar och som används i produktionen. För att få använda maskinerna så behövdes en CE-märkning så att maskinerna är godkända för att användas.
Processen där sammanställning av dokumentation på en maskin som ska CE-märkas utfördes. Underlaget innefattar bland annat material så som komplett ritningsunderlag och en riskanalys, utförd av studenten och en grupp personer från företaget. CAD programmet som jag använde mig av för att framställa ritningarna heter Catia V5. Arbetet resulterade i en CE-märkning som företaget utförde tillsammans med mig och mitt examensarbete.

El presente trabajo de tesis es motivado por la necesidad de contribuir con la mejora y
optimización de nuevos diseños, en la fabricación de tanques agitadores, que permitan
minimizar el tiempo de operación, incrementar la eficiencia de mezcla y disminuir los
costos de fabricación.
El lector encontrará dentro de este trabajo una breve explicación de las generalidades
técnicas en tanques agitadores, números adimensionales utilizados en mezcla, ecuaciones
matemáticas que gobiernan el comportamiento de los fluidos, estadísticas de mallado, así
como la descripción de los principales modelos de turbulencia en CFD (Dinámica de
Fluidos Computacional).
Una gran parte del tiempo de este proyecto se dedicó a proponer un procedimiento para
simular y mostrar el comportamiento del flujo dentro de un tanque agitador vertical con
superficie libre; para ello se utilizó el software Ansys versión 14.0 (herramienta
computacional de simulación de CFD) considerando la interacción impulsor-deflector, flujo
turbulento, fluido newtoniano, simulación bifásica, régimen estacionario y un impulsor
PTB (turbina de paletas rectas inclinadas 45°) de cuatro álabes.
Luego, los resultados obtenidos de la simulación, tomando como principal variable los

Full textAbstract:
Contexte - La majorité des fumeurs adultes ont commencé à fumer à l'adolescence et sont devenus dépendants avant l'âge de vingt ans. La plupart des efforts de lutte contre le tabagisme des jeunes se sont centrés sur la prévention de l'initiation et peu sur l'aide au sevrage. Sur ce constat, nous avons proposé de mettre en place une démarche originale de sevrage basée sur une offre de proximité associant le sevrage médicamenteux aux thérapies cognitivo-comportementales. Dans une perspective de réduction des inégalités sociales de santé, nous avons souhaité centrer notre action sur une population particulièrement vulnérable habituellement peu sollicitée, celle des jeunes apprentis. Avant de généraliser une telle intervention, il était important d'en évaluer l'efficacité. Objectif - 1) décrire les caractéristiques du tabagisme dans une population socialement défavorisée, les apprentis 2) puis mettre en évidence les déterminants de la dépendance au tabagisme dans cette population 3) et enfin répondre à l'objectif principal qui est l'évaluation de l'efficacité de l'offre d'un programme de sevrage tabagique au sein de cette population.Méthode - Cette étude quasi-expérimentale, prospective, comparative s'est déroulée au cours des 2 années d'apprentissage. La population était composée de l'ensemble des stagiaires de huit CFA (Centre de Formation des Apprentis) en Lorraine. Le groupe intervention (3 CFA) a bénéficié du programme TABADO, et le groupe témoin (5 CFA) n'a reçu aucune intervention spécifique autre que les services éducatifs généralement disponibles. Résultats - Parmi les 1.814 élèves interrogés (770 dans le groupe intervention, 1044 dans le groupe témoin), 52% étaient fumeurs dont 89,4% de fumeurs quotidiens, et 5,7% ex-fumeurs. L'âge moyen d'initiation au tabagisme était de 12,1 ans (ET=2,1) et celui du début du tabagisme régulier de 13,8 ans (ET=1,6). La consommation actuelle des fumeurs s'élevait en moyenne à 12,8 cigarettes par jour (ET=7,8). Le score moyen de dépendance des adolescents fumeurs interrogés était de 6,1 (ET=2,8), d'après le test du Hooked On Nicotine Checklist (score de 0 à 10= fortement dépendant). Les déterminants de la dépendance mis en évidence étaient : le genre féminin, le tabagisme quotidien, une forte consommation moyenne journalière, la co-consommation de cannabis, un environnement fumeur et un haut score de vulnérabilité perçue. Les facteurs perçus comme incitant à fumer (automatisme du geste, gestion du stress et soutien du moral) étaient également des facteurs de dépendance. Sur les 584 fumeurs à J0 suivis à J0+12 mois, 17% étaient devenus abstinents dans le groupe d'intervention vs. 11,9% dans le groupe témoin (p = 0,08 univariée, p = 0,008 ajusté ; odds ratio [OR] 2,1; 95% intervalle de confiance [IC] 1.2 à 3.6). Conclusion - Notre étude a permis de produire des données originales sur l'efficacité d'une action de sevrage tabagique dans une jeune population socialement défavorisée qui avait été très peu investiguée jusqu'à présent. La combinaison de la proximité de l'action d'information et de soutien psychologique, et d'une offre gratuite de substituts nicotiniques paraît comme une condition du succès. La mise en évidence d'un effet groupe devrait permettre à l'avenir d'élaborer des programmes facilitant cet effet des réseaux sociauxContext - Most smokers start smoking during adolescence and became smoking dependent before the age of 20. Efforts to fight against smoking in the teenage population have focused largely on programs to prevent rather than quit smoking. On this basis, we implemented an original approach of help to smoking cessation based on a nearness offer associating pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioural strategy with. In a perspective of reducing social health inequalities, we wanted to focus our efforts on a particularly vulnerable population usually not sought, the apprentices. Before expanding such programs, their efficacy must be assessed.Objective- 1) describe the characteristics of smoking in a socially disadvantaged population, the apprentices 2) then highlight the determinants of tobacco addiction in this population 3) and finally meet the main objective which is the evaluation of the effectiveness of offering a smoking cessation program in this population. Method - This quasi-experimental, prospective, comparative study was conducted during two years ofvocational training. The population was composed of all the students from eight VTC (Vocational Training Center) in Lorraine (France). The intervention group (3 CFA) has benefited from the TABADO program, and the control group (5 CFA) received no specific intervention other than educational services generally available. Results - Among the 1,814 students included (770 in the intervention group, 1044 in the control group), 52.0 % were smokers among whom 89.4 % daily smokers, and 5.7 % were ex-smokers. The average age of tobacco use initiation was 12.1 years (SD=2.1) and the average age at inception of regular cigarette smoking was 13.8 years (SD=1.6). Current consumption of the smokers was 12.8 cigarettes per day (SD = 7.8). The average score of smoking addiction was 6.1 (SD = 2.8), according to the Hooked On Nicotine Checklist test (score from 0 to 10 = strongly dependent). Factors significantly associated with dependence were female gender, daily cigarette use, high mean daily cigarette use, co-consumption of cannabis, a smoking environment and a high score of perceived vulnerability. Factors perceived as leading to smoking (automatic gesture, combating stress and supporting morale) were also dependence factors. Of 584 original smokers at 12-month follow-up, 17% in the intervention group were abstinent vs. 11.9% in the control group (univariate p=0.08; adjusted p=0.008; odds ratio [OR] 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2-3.6). Conclusions - Our study has produced original data on the effectiveness of a smoking cessation in a socially disadvantaged young people who had hardly been investigated so far. The combination of proximity to the action of information and psychological support, and an offer of free nicotine replacement therapy seems to be a prerequisite for success. The demonstration effect of a group should allow the future to develop programs that facilitate this effect of social networks

Corot est une experience spatiale de photometrie stellaire dont le double objectif scientifique est l'asterosismologie et la recherche de nouvelles planetes. L'objectif de cette these est l'elaboration de l'algorithme de traitement bord des images de la voie asterosismologie. L'asterosismologie necessitant la mesure de tres faibles variations de flux, cet algorithme doit permettre l'extraction d'un signal photometrique precis et stable. On procede avant tout a une analyse detaillee de toutes les perturbations possibles du signal photometrique : les perturbations engendrees par le fonctionnement de l'instrument (detecteurs ccd, variations d'attitude du satellite) et celles dues a son environnement (variations thermiques, variations de lumiere diffusee, rayons cosmiques). Chaque perturbation est quantifiee analytiquement, par simulation numerique ou par experimentation sur banc de tests. Si les specifications ne sont pas respectees, une methode de reduction de la perturbation est introduite dans le traitement. Les methodes classiques de photometrie sont la photometrie d'ouverture et la photometrie par ajustement. On developpe de plus une variante de la photometrie d'ouverture dite photometrie a rapport signal sur bruit maximal. On identifie la methode de photometrie permettant d'atteindre la precision requise, compte tenu des perturbateurs identifies et des contraintes imposees par le processeur. La voie sismologie assure une seconde fonction majeure : le calcul de l'ecartometrie. La prise en charge de la restitution ecartometrique par le programme de sismologie permet d'ameliorer les performances de pointage du satellite et rend ainsi compatible le bruit de pointage avec les besoins de la mission. Un simulateur de l'instrument en tant qu'outil de pointage fin a ete developpe afin de tester les performances de diverses methodes de restitution ecartometrique. L'aboutissement de ce travail est un diagramme de blocs complet du traitement bord de la voie sismologie.

Justificación: En España, la gran mayoría de unidades neonatales ya trabajan mediante la filosofía de los Cuidados Centrados en el Desarrollo (CCD) y dos de ellas se han convertido en centros formadores del modelo Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP). La transferencia del proceso de implantación e implementación de NIDCAP en las dos unidades pioneras, puede servir de ejemplo y motivación a otras unidades neonatales. El proyecto CO-NÈIXER es un programa formativo asistencial de metodología integrativa que ha facilitado la implantación de estos modelos de cuidado en el Hospital Vall d’Hebron. Su evaluación ha permitido conocer su efectividad, fortalezas y debilidades, aspectos a tener en cuenta por otras unidades que deseen aplicar un programa similar de implantación.
Objetivos: Analizar y describir el proceso de implantación e implementación de los CCD y NIDCAP en España. Evaluar la efectividad del Proyecto CO-NEIXER.
Metodología: Esta investigación está compuesta por dos estudios principales, estudio I: “Implantación de CCD y NICAP” y estudio II: “Proyecte CO-NEIXER”. Estudio I: 1-Revisión bibliográfica. 2-Estudio descriptivo, observacional y longitudinal. 3-Análisis y mapeado de las unidades de neonatología españolas. 4-Estudio descriptivo observacional transversal para conocer el grado de implementación de CCD y NIDCAP en España. Estudio II: Proyecto CO-NÈIXER: estudio prospectivo de intervención antes-después donde se han valorado la satisfacción sobre el programa formativo, los conocimientos adquiridos y su repercusión en la práctica clínica.
Resultados: Los CCD se aplican en la mayoría de las unidades neonatales, destacando la participación temprana de los padres en el 96,6%, que el 83,1% dispone de unidad abierta las 24 horas y el 92,1% utiliza sacarosa como método no farmacológico para el control del dolor pero, continúa habiendo otras medidas de cuidado por implementar. En relación, al modelo NIDCAP, hay en la actualidad dos centros acreditados como centro formador, 34 profesionales acreditados y 21 profesionales en formación. La mayoría de ellos pertenecientes a la plantilla de los centros formadores. Uno de ellos, dispone de dos enfermeras trabajando exclusivamente en la implantación de este modelo de cuidado. Se han identificado 185 unidades de neonatología y sóJustification: In Spain, the vast majority of neonatal units are already working through the philosophy of Centered Care Development (CCD) and two of them have become model training centers of the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP). The transfer of the introduction process and implementation of NIDCAP in the two pioneer units, can be used as an example and motivation other neonatal units. The CO-NÈIXER project is a training program based in integrative care methodology which has eased the implementation of these care models at Vall d'Hebron Hospital. Its evaluation has allowed other units to get to know its effectiveness, strengths and weaknesses and other aspects to consider if they want to implement a similar program in other units. implementation.

The present research presents the problem related to the aging population of the world and the necessary improvement on product development to better serve these users considering their limitations that come with the aging process; one of the possible improvements is the inclusion of these user on usability testing. This inclusion can be made with low cost and without exposing the user through virtual testing, which is where the problem of this research focuses, if is possible to to perform these usability tests entirely in SolidWorks® platform. The objective of this research is to develop a procedure for virtual usability testing in SolidWorks® software, with focus on elderly users. To achive the corroboration of the hypothesis (is possible to do virtual usability testing through the software plataform), was reproduced the traditional usability test of a remote control conducted with elder users in a virtual usability test on the SolidWorks® plataform, the modeled user presented limitations based on the users participants of the traditional testing, enabling the comparison of the found results of the tests. On the usability tests were evaluated the performance metrics of task success and number of positioning of the remote control were necessary to complete the task. By the test results we were able to realize that the variable of number of positions necessary to complete the task is more appropriate to evaluate the similarity between the results of real and virtual tests. The result of the statistic test for this metric indicated that there are significant differences between the results of the traditional test and the results of the virtual test, but when evaluated only the results of females elders the results showed no significant differences. It was concluded that further research is necessary to achieve corroboration of the hypothesis, considering that the results indicated significant differences between the results. The fact that the group of female older users have shown similar results, indicating that with improvements in usability testing procedure in SolidWorks® platform can achieve similar results for older users of both genders.
O presente trabalho apresenta problemática relacionada ao cenário mundial do envelhecimento da população e as melhorias necessárias no desenvolvimento dos produtos para melhor atender esses usuários considerando as limitações que são desenvolvidas no envelhecimento; uma dessas melhorias é a inclusão desse usuário nos testes de usabilidade. Essa inclusão pode ser feita com custo baixo e sem expor o usuário por meio de testes virtuais, que é onde se apresenta o problema dessa pesquisa: se é possível realizar esses testes de usabilidade inteiramente na plataforma do SolidWorks®? O objetivo desta pesquisa é desenvolver um procedimento para testes de usabilidade virtuais realizados no software SolidWorks®, com foco nos usuários idosos. Para procurar a corroboração da hipótese (de que seria possível realizar testes de usabilidade digitalmente nesta plataforma), foi reproduzido o teste de usabilidade tradicional de um controle remoto realizado com usuários idosos em um teste de usabilidade virtual na plataforma do SolidWorks®, em que o usuário modelado apresentou limitações baseadas nas dos usuários participantes do teste tradicional, podendo assim, comparar os resultados encontrados nos testes. No teste de usabilidade foram avaliadas as medidas de desempenho, sucesso de realização da tarefa e número de reposicionamentos do controle remoto necessários para realizar a tarefa. Pelos resultados dos testes pode se perceber que a variável de número de reposicionamentos para realizar a tarefa é a mais adequada para avaliar a similaridade entre os resultados dos testes real e virtual. O resultado do teste estatístico dessa variável indicou que existem diferenças significativas entre os resultados encontrados do teste tradicional e os resultados do teste virtual, mas quando avaliado apenas os resultados dos indivíduos idosos do sexo feminino os resultados não apresentaram diferenças significativas. Foi concluído que ainda são necessárias pesquisas para se atingir a corroboração da hipótese, considerando que os resultados indicaram para diferenças significativas entre os resultados. O fato do grupo de usuárias idosas ter apresentado resultados similares, indica que com melhorias no procedimento de testes de usabilidade na plataforma do SolidWorks® pode-se conseguir resultados similares para usuários de idosos de ambos os gêneros.
