Bennaceur, Selima. "Modélisation et commande d'engins volants flexibles." Phd thesis, Université d'Evry-Val d'Essonne, 2009. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00465065.

Full text
Abstract:
L'intérêt pour la modélisation et la commande des engins volants s'est accru de manière significative au cours de ces dernières années. La complexité et les possibilités des engins volants s'accroissent rapidement et la gamme des missions qu'elles doivent réaliser se développe. Cependant afin que les drones puissent atteindre ce potentiel, certains défis techniques doivent être surmontés, notamment l'étude et l'intégration de la flexibilité structurelle, la prise en compte des phénomènes aérodynamiques, et l'élaboration de stratégies de commandes adaptées. Le travail présenté s'inscrit dans ce cadre et porte spécifiquement sur deux types de drones : -Les plus légers que l'air : Application à la modélisation et commande d'un dirigeable souple. -Les plus lourds que l'air : Application à la modélisation et commande d'un quadrirotor flexible : le XSF. Nous présentons dans un premier temps un modèle global d'engins volants flexibles autonomes. On admet que ces objets volants subissent de grands déplacements et de petites déformations élastiques. Le formalisme utilisé est basé sur l'approche de Newton-Euler, approche souvent utilisée dans le cas d'objets volants rigides. Dans cette étude nous généralisons le formalisme de corps rigides existant en y incluant l'effet de la flexibilité, sans pour autant détruire la méthodologie globale, et ce au moyen d'une technique hybride lagrangienne-eulerienne. La flexibilité apparaît dans le système dynamique global par le moyen d'un nombre réduit de degrés de liberté supplémentaires issus d'une synthèse modale. Cette technique permet de faciliter par la suite l'élaboration d'algorithmes de commande et de stabilisation. Le phénomène des masses ajoutées est également pris en considération. Une méthode originale de traitement analytique de ce phénomène a été établie pour un corps flexible en grands mouvements. Elle est basée sur la notion de potentiel flexible, et sur le développement de l'énergie cinétique du fluide sous l'effet d'un mouvement global du corps flexible. Cette méthode a permis de mettre en évidence le couplage rigide-flexible dans la matrice des masses ajoutées pour un traitement global d'un dirigeable flexible. On présente aussi le modèle dynamique et aérodynamique du quadrirotor flexible XSF conçu au laboratoire IBISC et destiné à un concours interuniversitaire sur les microdrones. Une technique robuste " Backstepping " est réalisée pour la stabilisation du dirigeable flexible au voisinage d'un point cible. Et une stratégie de contrôle de PID a été proposée pour la stabilisation de l'XSF. La stratégie de commande est contrainte par l'impératif d'optimisation du rapport précision/portabilité, pour que les algorithmes développés puissent être intégrés dans l'informatique embarquée de ces engins volants. Une validation numérique est présentée à la fin du rapport.

This thesis examines a method for optimizing the effectiveness bf existing sealift fleets given a limited budget. A brief background of U.S. military mobility is presented. Relevant cost categories of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) and prepositioned forces are determined by looking at the life-cycle of sealift ships. A methodology for determining an optimal fleet mix is presented. Two models for optimizing the direct costs of mobilizing the RRF and prepositioned forces are developed. The first model is based upon a single trip to the war zone. The second model develops the possibility that sealift ships may make multiple trips to the war zone and return to U.S. seaports. Methodologies for determining an optimal fleet mix are presented.

This qualitative case study explored how U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) students decided whether or not to attend graduate school. The focus was on how U.S. Army students made their decision. The purpose of the study was to illuminate the issues related to this decision in adult development, adult learning, career decision making, and participation in adult learning activities. These issues were explored using the students’ own words during their interviews in which they described how they made their respective decisions. This research analyzed interviews with 26 students, 12 who either decided to attend one of the graduate programs available to CGSC students or were already in a master’s degree program, and 14 who elected not to attend any of the graduate programs offered. The analysis explored how U.S. Army CGSC students made their decision about graduate school, the process used in making their respective decisions, and the factors that influenced their decisions. Analysis of the students’ interviews answered the primary research question and the four subordinate research questions. Not surprisingly, all the students indicated that military career requirements, post-military career aspirations and requirements, family considerations, and previous academic experience influenced their decision whether or not to attend graduate school. The extent to which their decision was influenced varied, but everyone interviewed expressed some degree of influence of those factors. Not expected were the common themes that emerged from analysis of the interview transcripts of CGSC students. Those themes centered around self-efficacy and confidence, goal setting and achievement, persistence, time management, life issues, guidance and mentorship, perceived quality of the degree or value, and the CGSC master’s program (Master of Military Art and Science).

Abstract:
L'étude des effets quantiques, comme les cohérences quantiques, et leur exploitation en contrôle par impulsion laser constituent encore un défi numérique pour les systèmes de grande taille. Pour réduire la dimensionnalité du problème, la dynamique dissipative se focalise sur un sous-espace quantique dénommé 'système', qui inclut les degrés de liberté les plus importants. Le système est couplé à un bain thermique d'oscillateurs harmoniques. L'outil essentiel de la dynamique dissipative est la densité spectrale du bain, qui contient toutes les informations sur le bain et sur l'interaction entre le système et le bain. Plusieurs stratégies complémentaires existent. Nous adoptons une équation maîtresse quantique non-markovienne pour décrire l'évolution de la matrice densité associée au système. Cette approche, développée par C. Meier et D.J. Tannor, est perturbative en fonction du couplage entre le système et le bain, mais pas en fonction de l'interaction avec un champ laser. Le but est de confronter cette méthodologie à des systèmes réalistes calibrés par des calculs de structure électronique ab initio. Une première étude porte sur la modélisation du transfert d'électron ultrarapide à une hétérojonction oligothiophène-fullerène, présente dans des cellules photovoltaïques organiques. La description du problème en fonction d'une coordonnée brownienne permet de contourner la limitation du régime perturbatif. Le transfert de charge est plus rapide mais moins complet lorsque la distance R entre les fragments oligothiophène et fullerène augmente. La méthode de dynamique quantique décrite ci-dessus est ensuite combinée à la Théorie du Contrôle Optimal (OCT), et appliquée au contrôle d'une isomérisation, le réarrangement de Cope, dans le contexte des réactions de Diels-Alder. La prise en compte de la dissipation dès l'étape d'optimisation du champ permet à l'algorithme de contrôle de contrer la décohérence induite par l'environnement et conduit à un meilleur rendement. La comparaison de modèles à une et deux dimensions montre que le contrôle trouve un mécanisme adapté au modèle utilisé. En deux dimensions, il agit activement sur les deux coordonnées du modèle. En une dimension, le décohérence est minimisée par une accélération du passage par les états délocalisés situés au-dessus de la barrière de potentiel.

Full text
Abstract:
Available security standards for RFID networks (e.g. ISO/IEC 29167) are designed to secure individual tag-reader sessions and do not protect against active attacks that could also compromise the system as a whole (e.g. tag cloning or replay attacks). Proper traffic characterization models of the communication within an RFID network can lead to better understanding of operation under “normal” system state conditions and can consequently help identify security breaches not addressed by current standards. This study of RFID traffic characterization considers two piecewise-constant data smoothing techniques, namely Bayesian blocks and Knuth’s algorithms, over time-tagged events and compares them in the context of rate-based anomaly detection. This was accomplished using data from experimental RFID readings and comparing (1) the event counts versus time if using the smoothed curves versus empirical histograms of the raw data and (2) the threshold-dependent alert-rates based on inter-arrival times obtained if using the smoothed curves versus that of the raw data itself. Results indicate that both algorithms adequately model RFID traffic in which inter-event time statistics are stationary but that Bayesian blocks become superior for traffic in which such statistics experience abrupt changes.

Museum displays are designed with the goal to achieve effective communication and provide a learning experience on a specific subject. If the fundamental attitude of display design can incorporate and consider the various elements of storytelling narrative, this can positively affect and bridge the distance between the exhibitions with its intended audience. Films, by its essential definition, are not the same as museum displays. However, the medium of film also exhibits the physical differentiations, narrative qualities and limitations through its screen dimensions within the real-world spatiality. This research paper aims to investigate and make a comparative analysis of the styles and characteristics between these two divergent forms of narrative foundations in the hopes of arriving at the median of between the fundamental spectatorships for museum displays and films. This research paper involves the examination of two individual sets of proposed questions. The first concerns with the rethinking of the modes of museum displays and film narratives respectively. The latter considers the possibility of aesthetic transition and exploration of their narrative forms. Aside from analyzing and providing related references to in order to understand the communicative and comprehensive qualities of narrative, as well as providing the narrative prototypes of museum displays and films, I also further analyze museum displays and film screening examples to articulate the inherent limitations and characteristics of museum displays in its narrative mode. This research project proposes the possibility of applying the aesthetic narrative strategies utilized in film in the design of a museum display. By incorporating methods such as utilizing scripts in the design of a museum displays, as well as the careful consideration of spatial and methods of display design, a more imaginative realization and dynamic experience could be possible.

In order to afford the requirements of industry which operator works in a dangerous and complicated environment, remote control technology is usually applied to operate robot to complete the mission, which is uneasy or impossible to fulfill in the past; then operator can watch and guide robot working from the long distance. Therefore, we develop a control system, which can remote control position and force for robot. It uses two displacement sensors to compose a control joystick. When the joystick is imposed the force , it will transform the force into acceleration ; then operator uses the acceleration to remote control position and force for robot . And in control of contact environment, we combine the hybrid position/force control rule of robot to execute compliance motion.

Abstract:
As we pass the 6oth anniversary of the end of World War Two (WW2) historians are diligently collecting the memoirs of veterans to preserve for future generations. Public archives of memorabilia, letters, photos and artefacts, in the process of digitisation are complimenting the stone memorials of the past. This material culture of memory discusses human interaction. “The poor, the rich, the brave and the afraid, the hero and the deserter” (Moriarty, 1999, p 654). In contemporary museum culture this digitised information is presented in either web-based systems, or interactive kiosks. However, this approach to packaging memories and historical data often leaves out much of the depth of the topic information, skimming the surface of the knowledge conveyed. New solutions to memory and artefact display have been developed effectively in the Churchill room’s exhibit designed by Small Design (Kabat,2008) and Memory Miner (Memory Miner, 2008), a home-based memory archive programme by John Fox. Both convey the memories and artefacts upon a mapped interface, using our desire to discover and connect with memories to navigate the narrative in a self-guided format. The Storytelling Memories project seeks to build on current research to formulate an interactive platform of memory immersion and experience within a museum environment. The project utilises a touch sensitive surface as an interface between the viewer and the memories. A physical controller, when placed near the interface surface will “unlock” contained memories, enabling an open-ended storytelling experience. The design encourages the user to interact directly with the memories to create their own dialogue, with the intention of developing a more emotive, personal connection to the Veteran.

Abstract:
The battle of Peach Tree Creek was the largest tactical offensive mounted by the Army of Tennessee since the battle of Chickamauga ten months before. Soldier morale was depressed by the loss of their beloved commander, Joseph E. Johnson. While most men had no real opinion of John Bell Hood, they knew that the army would now take the offensive. Many Confederates were reluctant to close with the enemy on July 20. Hardee's Corps failed to press home its advantage of manpower over John Newton's division. At least one third of Winfield S. Featherston's Brigade refused to accompany their comrades in pressing home the assault against William T. Ward's division. More or the less the same was true along the rest of the battle line. In contrast, most Federals fought with determination that day. Hood also developed an attack plan that was too complicated as he struggled to master the complexities of army level command. Efforts to preserve and mark the battlefield for posterity were mounted after the war, especially in the 1930s, but they mostly failed and the battlefield largely has been consumed by the explosive growth of Atlanta in the twentieth century.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with Sunzi or Sunzi Bingfa (Master Sun's Methods of War). This is a military treatise attributed to Sun Wu (which means Grandson Warlike), an all too appropriately named general who is said to have transformed the harem of King Helu of Wu (r. 514–496 BC) into a fearsome battalion in order to demonstrate his qualifications. But the vocabulary of the text is not in keeping with the world of 500 BC. The philosophical lexicon suggests a milieu in which concepts such as Heaven and the Way had already become influential. Although the author or authors of Sunzi may have had real combat experience, one of its rhetorical purposes was to carve out a place for military affairs in philosophical discourse. Sunzi anticipates an audience well versed in classical philosophical literature and argues that “the commander” should be added to everybody's list of technical terms.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 6 Saladin and the Battle of Hattin focuses on the years preceding the collapse of the kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187. It begins by discussing the rising power of the Kurdish ruler Saladin within the Turkish ruled lands of his former master Nur al-Din and in particular the nature of Kurdish/Turkish relations in previous decades. Close attention is then given to the period 1174–87 when the kingdom of Jerusalem frequently came into conflict with Saladin’s armies. Within this discussion, revisions are suggested for several key scholarly orthodoxies. The military abilities of the Frankish commander—later king—Guy of Lusignan are re-evaluated. To date he has often been considered an incompetent fool, but this conviction is reassessed. Likewise, the crucial battle of Hattin—and the decisions taken by Guy in this vital encounter—are reconsidered in the light of new evidence. Thematic discussion is offered here on Frankish and Turkish approaches to fighting major battles; so too is the role of castles in their strategies. There is also a broad discussion on the causes of war in the Near East throughout this period.

Full text
Abstract:
Like Levmore, Masur observes that the quintessential feature of the absurdist guidelines in Catch-22 is that they are all structured as rules, rather than standards. There is no discretion available to the officers charged with implementing the army’s battery of legal commands and regulations. But whereas Levmore sees this as unrealistic, Masur argues that strict legal rules are endemic to large organizations such as the army. Governing millions of people is an immense logistical and organizational challenge. Upper-level commanders must ensure that mid-level officers follow orders consistently; mid-level officers must ensure that they are treating their soldiers equitably and without favoritism. In fact, as Masur observes, the modern US Army operates under the guidance of hundreds of minute and often preposterous rules, just like the army in Heller’s novel. In this respect, Catch-22 succeeds in capturing important features of both war and other types of mass mobilization.

Abstract:
This chapter details events in Josephine Roche's life from 1912 to 1913. The chance to serve as Denver's first policewoman drew Roche out of graduate school in 1912. She was thrilled to go back west. “I find a certain quality of life here that I hungered for in vain all the time I worked in New York,” she explained, “I think perhaps I can express it by saying I feel more master of myself here.” By “mastery” of herself, Roche did not refer to personal freedom, which New York offered in greater degree than Denver, but to something she craved even more than freedom. That something was power. Only months after taking the police position, Roche transformed it into a command post in the campaign against Denver's notorious political machine. As a policewoman, Roche emerged as a controversial public figure with a stomach for battle.

Abstract:
The water supply system of the most iconic fortress of the Order of Calatrava at the Command of Martos (Jaén, Spain): The Castle of the RockThis article deals with the analysis of the conserved remains of the water storage system of the Castle the Rock or the High Fortress of Martos (La Peña or Fortaleza Alta de Martos), which constituted the castle and main headquarters of the Master of the Order of Calatrava at the Commander of Martos between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. The elements that compose it make a unique hydraulic complex that still allows to be recognized and documented. Due to its importance and meaning, this castle is one that better shows the constructive techniques and the polyorcetic typologies developed and updated by this Order in its Commands in Castile-La Manche and Andalusia. The hydraulic system to supply water to this rocky fortress is a reflect of these technology, and it is unique in its design and layout.

Abstract:
Trains brakes are pneumatically actuated and use the same pneumatic line for power and signal transmission. This simple architecture presents limits for long trains since the last vehicles brakes receive a very delayed command and the train speed must be limited. Solutions were proposed using a signal transmission line parallel to the pneumatic line. These systems, though effective, present drawbacks and are of difficult implementation as retrofits. A solution is described, which leaves the braking system unchanged, but reduces the time delay in the signal transmission by adding a pneumotronic unit at the pneumatic line end. This unit analyzes the pressure time history, recognizes the precursors of new braking commands and issues inputs to a valve at the pneumatic line end mirroring the commands to the master valve. The rapidity of the braking action is enhanced, thereby allowing a more uniform braking and a speed increase of long freight trains.

Abstract:
Cybersecurity for networked industrial control systems presents challenges not faced in information technology systems. The use of heritage protocols, such as Modbus, on unrouted serial buses makes it difficult to authenticate actuator commands and sensor data. Furthermore, rigid master/slave architectures such as Modbus are especially vulnerable to compromise of the master unit. We describe a logic program called the Qualitative Behavioral Analyzer (QBA) for monitoring a controlled physical process on an unrouted Modbus network. The proposed approach uses knowledge of process physics to identify a possible component fault or cyberattack. To avoid relying on the integrity of the master unit, the QBA directly analyzes Modbus network traffic. The first stage of the QBA is called the Network Analyzer, which evaluates each Modbus packet and extract qualitative information. The second stage is called the Physics Analyzer, which evaluates a qualitative physics model based on qualitative information from Network Analyzer. The QBA is demonstrated on simulations of a water treatment process.

Abstract Three aspects of Mathematica applications are addressed. The first is to use the symbolic language for simple mathematical operations, such as matrix algebra, root finding, spline curve-fit, and Runge-Kutta integration. The second is about graphic applications such as drawing curves, bar graph, labeling, and up to three-dimensional, hidden-line plotting. The third and most important aspect is to use the Mathematica C-type commands to define user’s problems which the students must master in order to apply Mathematica effectively.

Abstract:
A telemanipulation system allows a human user to manipulate a remote environment using a local interface (master robot) to control a remote (slave) robot. In doing so, it is desirable to provide users with appropriate sensory feedback, most often taking the form of visual and force information. In the presence of communication delays, however, a force feedback telemanipulation system must overcome detrimental effects caused by the delay, both on the quality of feedback to the user and the stability of the control system. For large delays, like those experienced in space telerobotics, the user's perceptive abilities are distorted and challenged by the lag between action and response. With this paper, a user-centered approach is proposed which seeks to simultaneously provide stable master-slave interaction as well as a natural user experience, tolerant of large delays. Rather than directly sending sensory information from the slave robot to the user, the goal is to use this information to create a real-time virtual model of the remote environment, which then serves as the user's interface. Maintaining a dynamic, virtual model locally at the master-side, the user is provided with immediate visual and haptic responses to his/her actions through the master device. At the remote site, the slave robot tracks the user's continuous and natural motion commands, while providing new information needed to update the virtual model. This method abstracts the data transmitted between the sites and creates greater delay tolerance. The basic principles of the approach are demonstrated on a simple one-degree of freedom telerobotic system, with a rigid, stationary slave environment.

Abstract:
In an increasingly energy constrained world, the Army and its logistic support envisions a future where its energy needs are designed and fulfilled by an elegant suite of ultra low energy solution options that can be tailored for adaptation at any Army installation or forward deployed base (FOB). Presently there is no overarching power delivery-energy storage-demand architecture and methodology to accomplish this. The Army’s present and future energy requirements are a mix of ultra-low and high energy intensity command and control facilities. Garrison Commanders must also have the capability to continuously adjust their ultra low energy suite in real time, by the tailoring and optimization of energy usage to accomplish strategic mission, security, and environmental goals. To address these issues requires the development of a properly designed and executed suite of ultra low energy systems that would enable adaptable, modular, scalable building-block power and thermal energy architecture so as to accommodate a full spectrum of local mission needs, from a few clustered facilities, an installation subsection, a full installation or deployed base. Accommodating this variability in an ultra-low energy environment will require a seamless blend of building automation, utility management and control systems, and power delivery systems with the capability to offer integration of onsite power, energy storage, and energy conservation. The controlling features embodied in the integrated suite of tools, systems analyses and methodologies, must not only optimize design but also day-to-day and hour-by-hour operation. What is envisioned is developing a prototype master plan for an ultra low energy community system that has been field tested at several specific Army campuses. A workshop of leading energy scientists and engineers has been convened to define the technology required to implement this vision. This paper presents the clarified summaries of their collective deliberations, and defines a way forward for a research program capable of achieving ultra low energy applications, for installations to deployed bases.

Abstract:
Tele-operation of mobile-manipulator systems (MMS) is typically done by modeling both the manipulator and mobile base as a single system combined with the use of various redundancy resolution techniques to achieve coordinated motion. In this work, the Omnibot MMS is controlled by a 3-DOF (degrees-of-freedom) haptic joystick. The base is a holonomic platform having 3-DOF supporting a 3-DOF manipulator capable of position control within its workspace. By controlling the base and manipulator individually, redundancy resolution techniques are not required because the master has equal DOF to the device it is controlling at any given time. Two command strategies are proposed herein for automatic switching of control between the manipulator and base. The first command strategy is a virtual wall method that uses haptic forces to make the operator feel like they are pushing against a wall at the edge of the manipulator’s workspace, resulting in the base moving. The second command strategy is a two state approach in which each state controls a different device and switching between the two is done by breaking through the workspace limits. With the help of haptic forces, the operator has the sensation of breaking through a compliant surface when switching states. The two proposed strategies were implemented and tested on the Omnibot MMS and both subjective and objective data was used to evaluate and compare the two methods.

Abstract:
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) wished to improve personnel training in a way that would prevent gas turbine failures on Navy ships and thereby save maintenance dollars. To determine what areas of training could provide the most benefit, NAVSEA and the Westinghouse Machinery Technology Division (MTD) systematically reviewed all gas turbine removals in the fleet during a three year period to establish which failures were most common and which might have been prevented by better operating or maintenance training. Several independent sources of maintenance data were correlated to develop one master list of training-related removals with all available information on each. Fleet Technical Support Center (FTSC) personnel, NAVSEA’s waterfront technical representatives, were interviewed about specific failures and general maintenance problems they encounter in their daily work. By correlating all the data, a most probable root cause was assigned to each removal, and training improvements that could prevent similar failures were described for all applicable failures. The training improvements recommended could prevent approximately 36 percent of unscheduled gas turbine engine removals. This percentage varies drastically with engine model.

Abstract:
This paper presents a bidirectional teleoperation admittance haptic glove (RML glove) which can be used to control mobile robots. The glove receives information from the environment and the internal status of the mobile robot, and generates a force feedback to the operator through the wireless module which in return communicates command signals to the robot. This haptic device is a lightweight and portable actuator system that fits on bare hands, and adds a haptic sense of force feedback to all fingers without constraining their natural movement. An embedded lead screw mechanism provides force feedback that ranges from zero up to 35 N for each finger. Based on this force feedback, the operator can feel what the robot feels (e.g., link torque amount and distance to an obstacle) which enables a smoother and safer human-control of the robot. To evaluate the performance of the haptic glove, a master-slave control experiment based on force feedback between the glove and the mobile robot is conducted. The results demonstrate that the proposed admittance glove can augment tele-presence.

Abstract:
When carrying out professional activities, officers of the VNG of the Russian Federation are often in difficult, stressful, emotionally stressful situations associated with the use of weapons as a particularly dangerous means of destruction. The right to use a weapon by an officer makes him responsible for its use. And therefore requires the officer to make a balanced optimal decision, which is associated with the risk and transience of events, and in which no mistake can be made, since the price of it can be someone's life. It is at such a moment that it is important that the officer has stable skills in making a decision on the use of weapons, and this requires skills not only in managing subordinates or the situation,but in managing himself. The complication of the military-professional activity, manifested in the need to develop the ability to quickly and accurately make command decisions, exacerbating the problem of social responsibility of an officer who has the management of unit that leads to an understanding of his singular personal and professional responsibility, as the ability to govern themselves makes it possible to achieve a positive result of the Department for the DBA. This characterizes the need for a commander to have the ability to manage himself, as a "system" that manages others. Forming skills of self-control, patience, compassion, having mastered algorithms of making managerial decisions, the cycle of implementing managerial functions, etc., a person comes to the belief: "before effectively managing others, it is necessary to learn how to manage yourself." The required level of personal and professional maturity can be formed in a person as a result of purposeful self-management, which determines the special role of professional and personal self-management in the training of future officers.
