Full textThe reconstruction of unmeasured quantities in dynamical systems often boils down to the knowledge of derivatives of the measured system variables. The approximation of these derivatives in the presence of measurement disturbances is known to be challenging. However, numerical differentiation algorithms based on orthogonal polynomials and truncated generalised Fourier series may considerably simplify the problem. These differentiators are robust to measurement disturbances and may contribute to solving complex control engineering tasks. Critical challenges for the application of the methods are the selection of favourable parameters and their real-time implementation. This work presents a unified framework for synthesizing and analysing differentiators based on classical orthogonal polynomials. Existing approaches are extended, and their relations to established methods are investigated. Differentiators based on Jacobi polynomials, also known as algebraic differentiators, form a particular class of the considered algorithms. Parameter selection guidelines are derived based on filter interpretations of the differentiators to achieve desired frequency-domain properties. The discussion of the discrete-time implementation emphasizes the preservation of the latter properties. A new tuning approach based on an optimization problem which requires only the measured signal is proposed. An experimental case study compares the performance of the differentiators in the presence of measurement disturbances. The approximation results, the computational burden, and the storage requirements are discussed in detail. Especially the latter two properties are crucial for real-time applications. The differentiators are used for model-based fault detection problems in two experimental case studies. First, the collision of a table tennis ball with a magnetically supported plate is discussed. Only the measurement of the plate position and the applied forces are known. The proposed approach significantly reduces the computational burden and memory requirements when compared to previously considered methods. Besides, the new approach decreases theminimum detectable falling height of the ball. Then, a model-based approach for the efficient real-time detection of faults in rolling element bearings is proposed. The approach is validated using experimental data from different test benches. Finally, a parameter estimation problem is discussed. This work generalises recently proposed algorithms. The derived convergence conditions are less restrictive than the previously published ones. Besides, this approach allows identifying a subset of parameters even if some are not excited. Two experimental case studies validate the theoretical analysis. The results are compared to those achieved using standard gradient estimators and algebraic parameter estimation methods. These examples underline the great potential of these methods

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides an opportunity for qualifying coastal signatory states to claim extended maritime estate. The opportunity to claim rests on the precept that in certain cases a continental shelf extends beyond the traditionally demarcated two hundred nautical mile (200M) Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mark. In these cases a successful claim results in states having sovereign rights to the living and non-living resources of the seabed and subsoil, as well as the sedentary species, of the area claimed. Where the continental shelf extends beyond the 200M mark, the Foot of the Continental Slope (FoS) has to be determined as one of the qualifying criteria. Article 76 of UNCLOS de nes the FoS as ". . . the point of maximum change in the gradient at its base." Currently Caris Lots is the most widely used software which incorporates public domain data to determine the FoS as a step towards defining the offshore extent of an extended continental shelf. In this software, existing methods to compute the FoS are often subjective, typically involving an operator choosing the best perceived foot point during consideration of a two dimensional profile of the continental slope. These foot points are then joined by straight lines to form the foot line to be used in the desk top study (feasibility study). The purpose of this thesis is to establish a semi-automated and mathematically based three dimensional method for determination of the FoS using South African data as a case study. Firstly, a general background of UNCLOS is given (with emphasis on Article 76), including a brief discussion of the geological factors that influence the characteristics of a continental shelf and thus factors that could influence the determination of the FoS. Secondly, a mathematical method for determination of the surfaces of extremal curvature (on three dimensional data), originally proposed by Vanicek and Ou in 1994, is detailed and applied to two smooth, hypothetical sample surfaces. A discussion of the bathymetric data to be used for application introduces the factors to be taken into account when using extensive survey data as well as methods to process the raw data for use. The method is then applied to two sets of gridded bathymetric data of differing resolution for four separate regions around the South African coast. The ridges formed on the resulting surfaces of maximum curvature are then traced in order to obtain a foot line definition for each region and each resolution. The results obtained from application of the method are compared with example foot points provided by the subjective two dimensional method of computation within the Caris Lots software suite. A comparison of the results for the different resolutions of data is included to provide insight as to the effectiveness of the method with differing spatial coarseness of data. Finally, an indication of further work is provided in the conclusion to this thesis, in the form of a number of recommendations for possible adaptations of the mathematical and tracing methods, and improvements thereof.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Verenigde Nasies se Konvensie oor die Wet van die See (UNCLOS) bied 'n geleentheid aan kwalifiserende state wat ondertekenaars van die Konvensie is om aanspraak te maak op uitgebreide maritieme gebied. Die geleentheid om op uitgebreide gebied aanspraak te maak berus op die veronderstelling dat 'n kontinentale tafel in sekere gevalle tot buite die tradisioneel afgebakende 200 seemyl eksklusiewe ekonomiese zone (EEZ) strek. In sulke gevalle het 'n suksesvolle aanspraak die gevolg dat die staat soewereine reg oor die lewende en nie-lewende bronne van die seevloer en ondergrond verkry, sowel as die inwonende spesies van die gebied buite die EEZ waarop aanspraak gemaak word. Die voet van die kontinentale tafel (FoS) moet vasgestel word as een van die bepalende kriteria vir afbakening van die aanspraak waar die kontinentale tafel tot buite die EEZ strek. Artikel 76 van UNCLOS defineer die FoS as ". . . die punt van maksimale verandering in die helling by sy basis." Die mees algemeen gebruikte rekenaar sagteware wat openbare domein data aanwend om die voet van die helling te bepaal, is tans "Caris Lots." Die metodes wat in die program gebruik word om die voet van die helling te bepaal, is dikwels subjektief en berus tipies op 'n operateur se keuse van die beste afgeskatte punt van die voet van die helling uit 'n oorweging van 'n twee dimensionele profiel van die kontinentale tafel. Die berekende voet-punte word dan deur middel van reguit lyne verbind om 'n hellingsvoetlyn te vorm. Hierdie voetlyn kan dan in die Suid-Afrikaanse lessenaarstudie (doenlikheidstudie) oor die bepaling van die voet van die kontinentale tafel gebruik word. Die doel van hierdie verhandeling is om 'n semi-outomatiese en wiskundig gebaseerde drie-dimensionele metode te beskryf vir die vasstelling van die FoS, deur as 'n gevallestudie van Suid-Afrikaanse data gebruik te maak. 'n Algemene agtergrond van UNCLOS, met beklemtoning van Artikel 76, word eerstens gegee. 'n Kort bespreking van die geologiese faktore wat die kontinentale tafel beïnvloed en wat gevolglik 'n invloed kan hê op die vasstelling van die voet van die helling, is ingesluit. Tweedens word 'n wiskundige metode, wat oorspronklik in 1994 deur Vanicek en Ou voorgestel is, vir bepaling van die oppervlaktes van maksimale kromming (gebaseer op drie-dimensionele data) in detail bespreek en 'n voorbeeld van 'n toepassing op twee gladde, denkbeeldige oppervaktes word beskryf. Die faktore wat in ag geneem moet word wanneer omvattende dieptemeting data gebruik word, en die metodes wat gebruik word om die rou data te verwerk, word ingelei deur 'n bespreking van die aard van die dieptemeting data wat gebruik is. Die metode word dan toegepas op twee stelle geruite dieptemeting data van verskillende resolusies vir vier afsonderlike streke om die Suid-Afrikaanse kus. Die riwwe wat op die resulterende oppervlaktes van maksimale kromming gevorm word, word dan nagetrek ten einde 'n lyndefinisie van die voet van die kontinentale tafel vir elke streek teen elke resolusie te bepaal. Die resultate verkry uit toepassings van die metode word vergelyk met hellingsvoetpunte soos bepaal deur die subjektiewe twee dimensionele berekeningsmetode in die "Caris Lots" rekenaar-program. 'n Vergelyking van die resultate vir die verskillende data resolusies word ingesluit om die doeltreffendheid van die metode met betrekking tot die hantering van verskillende ruimtelike data resolusies te ondersoek. 'n Aanduiding van verdere werk, bestaande uit 'n aantal aanbevelings vir moontlike aanpassings en verbeterings van die wiskundige en natrek metodes, word ten slotte in die gevolgtrekking van die verhandeling verskaf.

Full textTvå viktiga fysikaliska aspekter som bestämmer prestandan för ett tåg i drift är det totala gångmotståndet som verkar på hela tåget, samt den tillgängliga adhesionen (användbara hjul-räl-friktionen) för framdrivning och bromsning. Från de tillgängliga signalerna önskas identifiering, samt prediktering, av dessa två storheter, under drift. Med målet att förbättra precisionen av dessa skattningar undersöker detta examensarbete potentialen av skattning och prediktering av gångmotstånd och adhesion med hjälp av Extended KalmanFiltering. Slutsatsen är att problem med observerbarhet och känslighet uppstår, vilket resulterar i ett behov av sofistikerade metoder att numeriskt beräkna acceleration från en hastighetssignal. Metoden smoothing spline approximation visar sig ge de bästa resultaten för denna numeriska derivering. Känsligheten och dess medförda krav på hög precision, speciellt på accelerationssignalen, resulterar i ett behov av högre samplingsfrekvens. Ett behov av andra adekvata metoder att tillföra ytterligare information, eller att förbättra modellerna, ger upphov till möjliga framtida utredningar inom området.

Full textThis work investigates the contribution of differential algebra to two main issues of wheel mobile robotics, localization and navigation. The first issue is to be able to tell where the robot is in its environment. We assume that we have a number of landmarks in space whose coordinates are known in this area. Depending on the number of landmarks, it is possible or not to localize the robot. This notion of localizability is defined and studied in the algebraic framework. We show that this framework is more interesting than the geometric framework in the sense that it not only allows the study of localizability, but it also allows us to construct estimators states to reconstruct the posture of the robot. This study was conducted in five cases study for four of the five classes of wheeled mobile robots. The second problem studied is that of a robot decentralized swarm navigation in a complex environment. This work presents an architecture that can be used in a wide class of problems and enjoying the benefits of discrete approaches and continuous approaches. Indeed, high-level block strategy specifies the goal, constraints and parameters as well as the cost function, a low-level block is used to compute a trajectory that minimize the cost function in accordance with the objective and the problem constraints. This minimization is done on a sliding window so it is possible to take changes in the environment or mission during navigation into account

Full textThroughout this thesis, we have designed memory-aware algorithms and scheduling techniques suitedfor modern memory architectures. We have shown special interest in improving the performance ofmatrix computations on multiple levels. At a high level, we have introduced new numerical algorithmsfor solving linear systems on large distributed platforms. Most of the time, these linear solvers rely onruntime systems to handle resources allocation and data management. We also focused on improving thedynamic schedulers embedded in these runtime systems by adding static information to their decisionprocess. We proposed new memory-aware dynamic heuristics to schedule workflows, that could beimplemented in such runtime systems.Altogether, we have dealt with multiple state-of-the-art factorization algorithms used to solve linearsystems, like the LU, QR and Cholesky factorizations. We targeted different platforms ranging frommulticore processors to distributed memory clusters, and worked with several reference runtime systemstailored for these architectures, such as P A RSEC and StarPU. On a theoretical side, we took specialcare of modelling convoluted hierarchical memory architectures. We have classified the problems thatare arising when dealing with these storage platforms. We have designed many efficient polynomial-timeheuristics on general problems that had been shown NP-complete beforehand

Full textThis work deals with the experimental investigation and modelling of activated sludge settling. An experimental setup combining a settling column and an ultrasonic transducer is proposed. Settling velocity and concentration profiles are obtained using this setup, allowing for a better understanding of the mechanisms of activated sludge settling. These results are applied to the development of a numerical approach. A settling model using experimental functions is built. A methodology based on the automatic differentiation of the model is developed. This methodology is used, on the one hand, to analyse the sensitivity of the results to the model parameters and, on the other hand, to identify the parameter values on the basis of experimental data. The combination of the proposed experimental and numerical methods yields an efficient process for the development of sedimentation models

Full textThis thesis deals with the development of solid–shell finite elements for vibration modeling of multilayer structures. Indeed, most of multilayer models in the literature show some limitations in certain geometric and material configurations. Considering these restrictions and in order to develop a more efficient calculation tool, we proposed an approach based on the solid–shell concept. This consists of three-dimensional finite elements enhanced through the Assumed Strain Method. First of all, we have formulated the problem of vibrations of sandwich structures with viscoelastic core. The frequency dependence has been taken into account by using a complex constitutive law. To solve the discretized problem, the Asymptotic Numerical Method, coupled with the homotopy technique and the DIAMANT toolbox approach, was adopted due to the excellent results it provides compared to other methods. Benchmark tests have validated the models and highlighted their advantages over existing elements having the same kinematics. In order to increase damping properties, we directed our attention towards an active vibration control. For this purpose, two piezoelectric finite elements have been developed. These finite elements SHB8PSE and SHB20E are extensions, of the elements SHB8PS and SHB20, respectively. The electromechanical coupling consisted in adding an electrical degree of freedom to each node of these elements. A variety of test problems both in static and vibration analysis conducted on multilayer structures ranging from simple beams to structures involving geometric nonlinearities allowed validating the proposed solid–shell elements. Finally, combining the achievements made in chapters 2 and 3, we proposed a modeling approach for multilayer structures composed of elastic, viscoelastic and piezoelectric layers. Active control is introduced using the piezoelectric properties in order to improve the reduction in vibration amplitudes. Thus, a filter has been mounted between the sensors and actuators. This filter allows amplifying or attenuating the generated electric potential in order to reduce the vibration amplitudes. To solve the resulting problem, we extended the resolution method used in chapter 2. To validate the proposed models, active–passive control tests have been conducted on multilayer plate structures. Finally, some control laws, associated with filters, have shown how this procedure can allow reducing or even avoiding amplification of vibrations

Full textThis thesis proposes a numerical tool for the static and dynamic study of viscoelastic structures made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) for vibration control by passive damping. The objective is to make available to engineers a generic code based on the finite element approach for sizing calculations on FGM sandwich beam with viscoelastic core for applications requiring lightness and good thermal and mechanical resistance such as aerospace, automotive and nuclear. To reach this objective we first proposed a numerical model for the static and free vibration study of FGM sandwich beams with elastic behavior. This finite element model is implemented in the Matlab code environment. Using this code, we compare different beam theories for different geometric properties and boundary conditions. Thus, the limit of the classical beam theory in the study of short structures is highlighted. Also with this numerical model, the study of axial-bending and axial-rotation coupling is possible. From this, it is shown that FGM structures are very sensitive to spatial coupling and warping effects because of the non-symmetrical distribution of the material in their cross sections. In the proposed code, the resolution of the vibration problem is possible using classical eigenvalue and eigenvector problem solving methods. Then to introduce passive damping in the FGM sandwich structure, we proposed a sandwich beam model with FGM materials faces and viscoelastic materials core. This model is also implemented in the Matlab language and proposed as a generic tool. The interest of this numerical tool lies in its ability to compute the modal properties as well as the behavior of the viscoelastic FGM sandwich beam while taking into account the frequency dependence of the viscoelastic behavior, the boundary conditions and the axial-bending and axial-rotation coupling specific to FGM materials. The free vibration problem is non-linear in this case due to the material non-linearity induced by the soft layer. In the proposed code, the resolution of this problem is possible thanks to the coupling of the homotopy technical, the asymptotic numerical method and the automatic differentiation. Through this work, the contribution of FGM materials in the improvement of the damping power of structures is highlighted. In the continuation of the work, we propose a finite element formulation to compute the amplitude of forced vibrations of viscoelastic FGM sandwich structures. The resolution of the forced vibration problem is possible by using the bandwidths method. A study on the contribution of FGM materials in the reduction of vibration amplitudes is carried out for different viscoelastic laws. It is proved in this study that by a direct control of the composition gradient of FGM materials it is possible to optimize the damping power of structures even for low frequency modes for which classical composite materials have a damping power requiring improvement

Full textIn this PhD work, sensitivity studies are carried out for turbulent shear flows using direct noise computations and the complex differentiation method.First, the complex differentiation method is applied to two-dimensional mixing layers to investigate its capacity to highlight the effects of a parameter on the aerodynamic noise.For that, direct numerical simulations of mixing layers are performed using this method for different Mach numbers, Reynolds numbers and mesh spacings.In each case, the derivatives of the noise levels with respect to one of the three parameters are obtained using the complex differentiation method.The results are in good agreement with others from the literature and parametric studies.They indicate that the complex differentiation method can be used to describe the effects of physical parameters and of the grid resolution on the sound produced by a high-speed flow.Secondly, the complex differentiation method is applied to the study of the receptivity mechanism occurring when an acoustic wave reflects at the nozzle lip of a jet.For this purpose, using the results of a simulation of a jet impinging on a plate, an imaginary amplitude acoustic pulse is introduced at a given time in the near-nozzle region outside the jet.The sensitivity of the near-nozzle mixing layers to an acoustic disturbance is then determined using the complex differentiation method.This sensitivity is used to highlight the excitation of an instability wave by the acoustic disturbance.Finally, the influence of nozzle-exit conditions (velocity profile and turbulence level) on the tonal noise components generated by subsonic impinging jets is investigated.For that, jets with different nozzle-exit velocity profiles, several boundary-layer excitation levels, at Mach numbers of 0.6 or 0.9, impinging on a plate located at 6 or 8 nozzle radii from the nozzle, are simulated.The results show that the nozzle-exit conditions significantly affect the amplitude of the tonal noise components and that impinging jets at Mach numbers below 0.65, which are generally non-resonant, can be resonant for specific nozzle-exit conditions.The effects of the nozzle-exit conditions are found to result from changes in the development of the jet mixing layers, which lead to differences in the amplification properties of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability waves between the nozzle and the plate, and in the energy contained in the coherent structures of the jets near the impingement region

Full textModeling and design of composite viscoelastic structures with high damping powerThe aim of this thesis is to develop numerical tools to determine accurately damping properties of composite sandwich structures for the design of lightweight viscoelastic sandwichs structures with high damping power. In a first step, we developed a generic tool implemented in Matlab for determining damping properties in free vibration of viscoelastic sandwich plates with laminate faces composed of multilayers. The advantage of this tool, which is based on a finite element formulation, is its ability to take into account the anisotropy of composite layers, the material non-linearity of the viscoelastic core induiced by the frequency-dependent viscoelastic laws and various boundary conditions . The nonlinear complex eigenvalues problem is solved by coupling homotopy technic, asymptotic numerical method and automatic differentiation. Then for the continuous study of a modeling parameter on damping properties of viscoelastic sandwichs, we proposed a generic method to solve the nonlinear residual complex eigenvalues problem which has in addition to the frequency dependence introduced by the viscoelastic core, a modeling parameter dependence that describes a very specific study interval. This resolution is based on asymptotic numerical method, automatic differentiation, homotopy technique and continuation technic and takes into account various viscoelastic laws. We propose after that, two separate formulations to study effects on the damping properties according to two modeling parameters which are important in the design of high viscoelastic sandwichs with high damping power. The first is laminate fibers orientation in the sandwich reference and the second is layers thickness which when they are well defined allow to obtain not only sandwich structures with high damping power but also very light. The highly nonlinear complex eigenvalues problems obtained in these formulations are solved by the new method of resolution of eigenvalue residual problem with two nonlinearity developed before. Comparisons with discrete results and computation time are made to show the usefulness of these two formulations and of the new method of solving nonlinear complex eigenvalues residual problem of two dependances

Full textEsta tese aborda a avaliação de opções em três artigos distintos: A. The Binomial CEV Model and the Greeks Este artigo compara diferentes aproximações binomiais para o cálculo dos Greeks das opções estudadas por Pelsser and Vorst (1994), Chung and Shackleton (2002), e Chung et al. (2011), no âmbito da distribuição lognormal, mas agora considerando o processo constant elasticity of variance (CEV) proposto por Cox (1975), utilizando os Greeks analíticos em tempo contínuo, recentemente propostos por Larguinho et al. (2013) como referência. Entre os modelos binomiais considerados neste estudo, concluímos que um modelo extended tree binomial CEV com uma aproximação convergente e monótona é o método mais eficiente para o cálculo dos Greeks no âmbito do processo de difusão CEV porque podemos aplicar a fórmula de extrapolação de dois pontos, sugerido por Chung et al. (2011). B. Valuing American-Style Options under the CEV Model: An Integral Representation Based Method Este artigo deriva uma nova representação integral da barreira de exercício antecipado para a avaliação das opções Americanas no âmbito do modelo constant elasticity of variance (CEV), um importante aspecto desta nova caracterização da barreira de exercício antecipado é que este não envolve o usual processo recursivo que é habitualmente aplicado e conhecido na literatura como a abordagem de representação integral. O nosso método de avaliação não recursivo é de fácil tratamento analítico sob o processo de difusão CEV e os resultados numéricos demonstram a sua robustez e precisão. C. A Note on Options and Bubbles under the CEV Model: Implications for Pricing and Hedging O processo de desconto de preço no âmbito do modelo constant elasticity of variance (CEV) não é um martingale para os mercados de opções com uma volatility smile de inclinação ascendente. A perda da propriedade martingale implica a existência de (pelo menos) dois preços de opção para a opção de compra, que é o preço para qual se verifica a paridade put-call e este preço representa o menor custo de replicação do payoff da call. Este artigo deriva as soluções em fórmula fechada para os Greeks da opção call no risco neutral que são válidas para qualquer processo CEV que possui padrões de enviesamento ascendentes. Tendo por base uma analise numérica extensiva, concluímos que a diferença entre os preços da call e os Greeks de ambas as soluções são substanciais, o que pode gerar erros significativos de análises no cálculo do preço da call e dos Greeks.
