Full textPastaraisiais metais vis plačiau taikant stiprųjį betoną bei armatūrą, konst-rukcijų perdengiamos angos didėja, o skerspjūviai mažėja. Todėl projektuojant standumo (įlinkių) sąlyga vis dažniau tampa lemiamu veiksniu. Inžinieriai gelž-betoninių konstrukcijų apskaičiavimams gali taikyti empirinius normų arba skai-tinius metodus. Vieno ar kito skaičiavimo metodo parinkimas turi būti pagrįstas statistiniais tikslumo analizės rezultatais. Yra žinoma, kad adekvatus gelžbetoninio elemento pleišėjimo (ypač plyšių vystymosi stadijos) modeliavimas yra vienas sudėtingiausių netiesinės mechani-kos uždavinių. Toks uždavinys gali būti išspręstas taikant vidutinių plyšių kon-cepciją, kai pleišėjimo proceso modeliavimui naudojama tempiamojo betono vidutinių įtempių ir deformacijų diagrama. Dauguma tokių diagramų gautos, naudojant tempimo arba šlyties bandymo rezultatus. Pabrėžtina, kad šių diagra-mų taikymas lenkiamųjų gelžbetoninių elementų modeliavime duoda nemažas paklaidas. Kitas svarbus aspektas yra tai, kad gelžbetoniniuose bandiniuose, iki juos apkraunant trumpalaike apkrova, vyksta betono susitraukimas. Šiame darbe buvo siekiama sukurti metodą, leidžiantį pagal eksperimentinius lenkiamųjų gelžbetoninių elementų duomenis gauti tempiamojo betono vidutinių įtempių ir deformacijų diagramas, įvertinant betono susitraukimo įtaką.

Although tensioned fabric structures are increasingly in demand, since they are comparatively new to the engineering world, there are relatively limited resources available about such structures. This report reviews the topics that encompass the design and analysis of tensioned fabric structures. First, an overview of the conceptual basis of tensioned membranes is discussed, as well as the different shapes that are formed using manipulations of the basic concept. Since the material properties play a key role in the durability of tension fabric structures, the ideal material characteristics, as well as the current available fabrics are described. Both the strength of the employed materials and the load considerations for design are outlined. The report follows by explaining the process of roughly assessing the scope of a project, as well as the variety of non-linear analysis that must be performed and the methods used to perform them. This report concludes with key connection details that must be considered for a successful tension fabric structure.

Full textIn this work, we develop high voltage structures from a submicronic SV CMOS process of ATMEL-ES2 industry. They will be employed as drivers for loads. This technology used only two masks in addition to standard p-well one. Design optimization has been achieved to meet the needs of both CMOS and high voltage devices. Bidimensional simulations for both the process and the device, have been indeed quite a good tool to design these structures. Self-isolated lateral doubled diffused MOS have been optimized, to obtain a 70V and -52V voltage strength, for the NMOS and PMOS one respectively, with some good saturation current and on-resistances. The high voltage is isolated from the gate by a field oxide. Parasitic effects, like punch-through, bipolar transistor, as well impact ionization and leakage current through the substrate, have been pointed out and quite well lowered. Eldering has been also investigating, especially concerning the lateral NMOS transistor. Guard rings, surrounding the high voltage junction have proved their capability by smoothing and separating equipotential lines. Finally, we have realized a driver circuit, which convert a 0-5V logic signal to a 0-high voltage logic level; circuit simulations and measurements are both in good agreement

Full textThis thesis work deals with the design of new MOS gated ac switch structures for ac mains applications, using functional integration. These devices are intended to replace the triac in ac mains applications. Indeed, the triac is a current controlled device requiring moderate amount of control power compared to voltage controlled devices. To develop new structures, the MOS controlled bidirectional devices proposed in the state of th art were analysed and their advantages as well as their drawbacks were highlighted. The first structure that we proposed is a MOS-riac that allows to have a triac structure with high input impedance and a voltage controlled structure. This structure is analysed using 2D simulations, designed, realised and we gave some experimental results. The second structure is a voltage and current bidirectional MOS-thyristor device. This structure uses a new type of triggering mode in the third quadrant of operation. Indeed, this mode of triggering is used for the first time in power semiconductor devices. To check that the lateral IGBT is capable of supplying the necessary current to turn-on the vertical thyristor, a lateral IGBT and a vertical thyristor were realised separately. The characterisation of these two components showed that it is possible to obtain the desired operation by integrating monolithically these two components. The third and last structure we proposed is also a bidirectional MOS controlled device. .

Full textThis study deals with the modeling of a monolithic switch bidirectional in current and voltage with full turn-off control for household appliances. The goal is to design a low losses switch which can be integrated to smart electronics functions. These works are focused, first, on discrete and monolithic existing solutions designed for such appliances before pointing out their main advantages and drawbacks. Monolithic structures are preferred over discrete ones thanks to their easiness to be integrated among other structures on the same substrate. The study is focused then on a vertical and symmetrical power bipolar transistor. 2D static simulations in finite elements performed on the structure confirm its ability to work on the mains. Further studies underline the possibility to improve it. By implementing around the active base heavily doped caissons which create a shielding effect, one can increase the structure performances. Finally, to simplify the switch processing steps, SOI RESURF technology is chosen. The lateral structure is studied thanks to 2D and 3D simulations which emphasize the benefits of such technology on both its design and manufacturing process

Full textIraqi invasion in March 2003 is analyzed within the framework of the structural analysis. The broader context of the causes of tension in transatlantic relations is further explored. The US&rsquo
Iraqi invasion has demonstrated us that she wants to reproduce her Middle Eastern policy by having a direct possession over the power structures. This fact led to the opposition of two main European powers, namely France and Germany. Those countries, which might be regarded as constituting the Franco-German axis, have been trying to involve into the US&rsquo
policy of reproducing the power structures. Whether the US is willing to give the Franco-German axis this role is also a key point, which is explored. Furthermore, in the thesis, attempts of the US and the Franco-German axis towards mending the fences in transatlantic relations that have been deteriorated with the Iraqi crisis are analyzed. The thesis seeks to show that the prospects for cooperation in transatlantic relations are an open-ended process due to the fact that there are both existing problems and opportunities for cooperation in transatlantic relations.

Full textOver the past years there has been a large number of new structural concepts for large spacecraft applications involving stretched membranes. However, the membranes used in gossamer structures cannot undergo compressive stress because of their small bending stiffness. The result of compressive stress is that buckling occurs leading to membrane wrinkling. This may affect the performance and the reliability of the flexible gossamer structures. Thus, the prediction of wrinkle patterns in membrane surfaces is one of the many current technological interests in the aerospace industry. The main purpose of this work is to propose a method able to predict wrinkling of thin structures. The ability of the wrinkling procedures to do it has to be compared to experimental results. Firstly we present an experimental study of the wrinkle patterns that appear on flat membranes. Experiments were carried out on cruciform specimens stretched under in-plane uncoupled biaxial loads. Experimental data are used as validation cases for numerical procedures of wrinkling simulation with the finite element method. Because of the small thickness of membranes, the shell element behavior can present numerical locking mechanism. To avoid it, thin structures are discretized with rotation free shell elements. Then, to predict films wrinkling, two numerical methods were tested : post buckling analysis and minimization of the total potential energy using the conjugate gradient algorithm

Full textThis manuscript of thesis was written in two parts for the "More Electric Aircraft" program. The first part presents in great detail the context of the thesis that is (i.e) the processes which allow electrifying the most of classic aircraft-systems. In this part, an example of special electromechanical actuator build in the More Electric aircraft program will be presented with meticulous care, in particular its command and supply systems. The second part, more extensive, is devoted to various solutions which improve the reliability of the power-electric systems. With the growth of the electrification of the aircrafts, several solutions of this kind will be multiplicated on board, but today most of these solutions haven't the reliability intended to the aeronautical applications. For the most part, the reliability processes consist in isolating the origins of a breakdown, in order that the system can continue to work in a debased mode. In addition, a system which protects inverter's legs is described; it's a controlled circuit breaker which uses thyristors and fuses (SCTF2). This system of reliability allows electrical isolating of faulty inverter's leg in a three phase inverter. The preferential position of a SCTF2 is the connexion between inverter's leg and the DC bus. Simulations of the SCTF2 are done on PSIM software. For PSIM, this manuscript poposes some approximative modelisations of the components like IGBT and fuse when they are subjected to a dangerous high-current (short-circuit)

Full textNowadays manufacturing fuel for solid oxide fuel cells by mean of steam water electrolysis is a real challenge. Nanomaterials should find their place in this way. And then plasma spraying, a process with high ratio, allows manufacturing such nanoscaled materials with varying thicknesses. In this study two of the three HTE layers were manufactured by suspension plasma spraying in the case of the electrolyte and by atmospheric plasma spraying of agglomerated nanoparticules in the case of the anode. Finally the use of the TriplexPro 200 torch, which fluctuations are lower than 20% and which allows decoupling velocity from surface temperature of the in-flight particles, gives the opportunity of manufacturing a gastight electrolyte layer and a second phase less anode layer

Full textThe growing needs in telecommunications require the development of large parabolic reflectors. A new conceptual design for the architecture of a deployable antenna is therefore proposed in partnership with the CNES. The design of its framework is based on a review of solutions which leads to scissor mechanisms associated with flexible joints. Numerical modelings with finite elements are first developed to simulate the deployment by the release of the energy stored in the joints after the folding. An experimental prototype with a gravity compensation device is then realized. Tests and measurements are performed to characterize the static and dynamic behavior and compared with the results of simulations. Shaping of the reflective surface by a net of cables is then studied. A new form-finding method for obtaining a net with a uniform tension is then proposed. It is applied to different parabolic typologies of nets and the error due to surface faceting is evaluated. The process of net attachment on the antenna rim structure is also treated

Full textWith the fast development of applications based on smart and miniaturized sensors in aerospace, medical or automotive domains, requirements on electronic modules are more and more linked to higher integration level and miniaturization (in order to increase the functionality combination and the complexity within a single package) and to higher performances. For the past few years, main improvements have been achieved by reducing the active part size and now developments are concentrated on the passive part. For example, discrete capacitors represent around 30% of circuit boards and they tend to be replace by integrate capacitors directly on silicon maintaining high performances (high value, low leakage, high breakdown). Several ways are possible: use the third dimension of silicon wafer by etching deep pores on the thickness and develop materials with higher dielectric constant. But, higher dielectric constant means also lower breakdown, so we have to develop new materials with a high k and high breakdown to realize high density/high voltage capacitors on 3D silicon. These materials based on binary oxides like HfO2, Al2O3 and ZrO2 are studied on planar devices to define the best compromise and in parallel, their deposition by chemical deposition like CVD or ALD in aggressive 3D structures with 1:40 aspect ratio is studied to ensure step coverage near 100%. Nanolaminates of HfO2 and Al2O3 are then successfully integrated in 3D test vehicles demonstrating performances as good as planar test vehicles. Moreover, a nanolaminate with thin layers of 2nm of HfO2 and Al2O3 reach capacitance density as high as 520nF/mm² with a breakdown voltage above 10V in a MIMIM 3D capacitor

Full textThis thesis focuses on two topics ubiquitous in soft matter: first, mediated interactions between nano-to-micrometer sized objects, second, surface tension in out-of-equilibrium systems. The first part of this thesis is devoted to the properties of a system of particles whose interactions are mediated by a fluctuating background. We start with a nonequilibrium study and we show that the combination of mediated interactions and of the nonequilibrium drive leads to complex structures. Our predictions, beyond statistical mechanical methods, rest on extending the methods of nonlinear dynamics in pattern forming systems, to systems with a local conservation law. The second study of this part is dedicated to an equilibrium experimental system of colloidal particles embedded in lyotropic lamellar phases. Relying on a bottom-up approach, we implement the details of the interaction between each colloidal particle and each lamella to come up with an exact description of the effective force emerging between colloids. These analytical results are then used to discriminate between two types of interaction, both being possibly encountered in experiments. The second part of this thesis focuses on the notion of surface tension for interfaces involving active fluids. We will come up with a definition relating macroscopic forces to microscopic ones, either between particles or, when applicable, between particles and a confining medium. When the active fluid is in contact with a solid boundary, the solid-fluid surface tension is, in general, a more complex quantity than its equilibrium counterpart. By this we mean that its value may depend on the geometry or other details of the measuring device. We will also show that a carefully designed probe allows us to access an equation-of-state-abiding surface tension akin to its equilibrium counterpart. Liquid-vapor interfaces can also be encountered in assemblies of self-propelled particles when these undergo a motility-induced phase separation. We show also that the surface tension associated to a liquid-vapor interface possesses a mechanical definition that echoes the equilibrium one
Garcia, Armijos Carlos Alberto. "Localization and acoustic radiation from complex structures." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Compiègne, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022COMP2715.
Full textLocalized vibrations occur in a variety of physical systems, from quantum mechanics to piano soundboards. The novel tool called landscape of localization is the Ąrst general method for predicting localization. It is therefore possible to study such phenomena without having to solve any eigenvalue problem or perform dynamic analyses. The landscape of localization is a static function that allows for predicting where modes will localize, how strong their localization will be, and when they will start delocalizing. Localized modes will resemble the static deformation, allowing for estimations of resonance frequencies using Rayleigh’s quotient. As a result, it is possible to extract dynamic information from the landscape and to investigate its effects on both vibrations and acoustic radiation. Within this context, this thesis aims to provide the basis for studying acoustic radiation using the landscape’s properties, considering localized modes as individual radiators. We will summarize this thesis structure, for the sake of simplicity, into three parts. One part of this dissertation deals with the relationship between statics and dynamics. We study the static deformation of simple geometries, such as circles and rectangles. By expressing the static solution in terms of modes, it is possible to derive equations that relate the tension of membranes to their static deformation. The same method is used for simply supported rectangular plates. Further, we infer the total spectrum from the maximum value of the static deformation of both geometries, in membranes and plates. This approach is then tested on various complex geometries of plates and membranes. The second part is centered on the radiation of complex structures. A method is proposed for estimating the modal radiation of simple and complex geometries, using circular pistons as basis radiators. Through this piston approach, we derive analytical approximations for modal radiation of complex geometries. Moreover, with a modal approach, where all modes are alike favored, one can express average values of the acoustic radiation. Hence, the estimated solutions can be found within seconds, just by knowing the structure’s shape and its natural frequencies. The third part focuses on localization. As a first step, we develop a quasi-static method for measuring the landscape function in complex membranes. Our results conifrm that the landscape function can predict localized modes and fist resonance frequencies in membranes, even with non-uniform and additionally unknown tension fields. As a second step, we study the radiation of structures displaying localized modes. We propose better estimations of localized frequencies based on the mean value of the valley lines. Then, the landscape is combined with two models: one to estimate spectra, and the other to estimate modal radiation from multiple localized zones. The two models allow for going beyond the fist localized mode. Therefore, acoustic radiation average values can be estimated through the use of the landscape and the models presented in this dissertation

Full textThe research works presented in this dissertation deals with the improvement of the voltage regulation of synchronous generator during the load variation. The excitation structure and the associated control strategy are two main factors that influence the dynamic behavior of synchronous generators. The industrial excitation system is based on the brushless excitation structure combined with an analogue or digital PID voltage controller. By replacing the industrial controller with an H∞ digital controller, a remarkable improvement in the system performance was obtained. Because of industrial structure limitations, we have developed new excitation structures that allow direct control of the synchronous generator main field current. The structures are based on exciter machine (wound field synchronous machine or permanent magnet machine) with a thyristor bridge or a diode one with a buck converter. The proposed structures combined with the H∞ control give the best results in terms of stability, voltage drops and overshoots, and response time

The behavior of these devices is accompanied by the appearance of many phenomena. An accurate modeling of these phenomena is needed to replicate its physical behavior. The objective of this thesis is to improve modeling and to establish a good method of extracting physical parameters related to HV MOS. This thesis has been mainly devoted to modeling the phenomenon of self-heating: development of test structure, modeling of thermal coupling between the sources of transistor, development tool for generating the thermal network. This thesis also looks at the definition of a method for extracting RF noise in the high-voltage transistor including extrinsic gate resistance and capacity Cgs and Cgd. Finally, the last part of the thesis presents a brief assessment of compact HiSIM_HV dedicated to HV MOS and compares it with the macro model used by STMicroelectronics.

In the United States, engineering is often viewed as a transformative career for underserved students. Long positioned as a mechanism for moving up the social ladder, engineering education is positioned to underserved students as an opportunity to climb. However, inequities in engineering education persist, with low income and first generation students underrepresented in engineering. The purpose of my study was to explore how students from underserved backgrounds navigate their educational trajectories, focusing on the interplay between societal forces (i.e., structures) and individual decision-making (i.e., agency). My study was guided by the overarching research question: In their narratives, how do students from underserved backgrounds describe navigating their educational trajectories towards a bachelor's engineering degree? My primary data sources included narrative interviews with 32 underserved engineering students and geospatial community-level data. My results indicate that underserved engineering students describe a variety of strategies to plan, optimize, and, at times, redirect their educational trajectories. This study highlights the influence of family, community, economic, and political environments on the educational journeys of underserved engineering students. Additionally, students describe their environments as dynamic, with trajectories changing based on critical incidents such as a parent illness or loss of work. Lastly, students' narratives highlight a diverse range of reasons for pursuing engineering, which often extended beyond private goods approaches to engineering education. My results highlight agency as a collective family endeavor, challenging popular notions that agency is operationalized at the level of a single individual. Lastly, students' lived experiences with material hardship highlight the dynamic and multidimensional nature of economic disadvantage. Such insights compel engineering educators to reexamine how we conceptualize and measure economic disadvantage in higher education. Ultimately, this research highlights opportunities to increase access and equity in engineering education for underserved students.

Full textThe objective of this work is to develop methods to detect, localize, quantify and follow the evolution of the damage in short cables, such as suspenders of the suspension bridges, using their vibratory responses. To simulate these cables, a 1D Euler Bernoulli beam linear model with tension is used. This model allows to study a wide range of structures from the vibrating string to the beam without tension. For cables, damage is introduced into the vibratory equation by local changes of the linear density and the bending stiffness and a global change in the tension. To introduce a crack in the vibrating beam equation, the change in the rigidity may be replaced by a pinned joint at the location ofthe crack. For both these models, a first order analytical estimation of the variation of modal parameters due to theses changes is established. Using these analytical estimations of the relative frequency variations in functions of the physical changes, we develop methods of localization for two cases : only two tests corresponding to two states (healthy and damaged) and a series of tests (several tests on the healthy state and several tests on the damaged state). For the second case, we propose another method of detection and localization which uses the SVD tool . These methods are tested on numerical data and experimental data from literature or from tests performed during the phD

Full textKnowledge of the tension in bridge cables is important not only to diagnostic the cable itself but also the construction it belongs to.The work presented in this thesis proposes to evaluate the tension of a geometrically exact cable using a static inverse method from a mixed variational formulation, by coupling simply and cheaply a universal cable model with usual sensors, such as displacement sensors and strain gauges. Contrarily to existing methods, a good knowledge of the cable's parameters, such as it length or weight per unit length, is not required.Combining a thorough study of various cable typologies encountered on bridges and the vast amounts of material available in the bibliography covering cables, lead to the modeling following the elastic theory of rods developed by the Cosserat brothers, François and Eugène, elaborating on their theory of rods with and without flexural stiffness.The experimental apparatus, designed and built in the course of this study, allowed to successfully validate the developed inverse method on a multilayered strand cable 21 m long and 22 mm in diameter at several tension levels. The universal aspect of the model introduced and its successful validation encourages its implementation to other cable typologies

Full textThe power electronics is at the beginning of a major evolution by the introduction of new power components semiconductor 'wide bandgap' in the systems. Indeed, the evolution of silicon carbide (SIC) technology allows to develop small chips, which can operate at a higher switching frequency, and support higher voltages than current one, limited during several decades by the physical properties of silicon. Therefore, the introduction of these components must be adapted to their environment in order to take into account these new performances. From an electrical point of view, the stresses imposed on insulating materials are close to their limits, particularly in the packaging configurations currently used in the power modules. The aim of this thesis is to propose an original solution allowing to integrate the 15 KV components currently in development phase, in a structure such as power module. After studying some packaging solutions, the study focused on a particular area, called the triple point between the metallization, the substrate and the encapsulation materials. We propose, from simulations by the finite element method analysis, a new geometry for the metallized ceramic substrate able to reduce the electric field intensity at the triple point. The structure modification consists in the creation of a gap in the substrate at the edge of the metallization. This new geometric structure has shown by simulation a significant reduction of the electric field intensity at the triple point thanks to a better spreading of the equipotential lines. After reviewing several technical manufacturing, ultrasonic machining was selected, this process is particularly efficient for hard and brittle materials such as ceramics and provides an etching profile with an excellent alignment to the edge of the metallization with the ceramic. Experimental results based on samples tests made it possible to carry out tests showing interesting and encouraging results in terms of partial discharges and resistance to dielectric strength. Thanks to the simulation under FEM analysis and after first experimental results, the new geometric structure for the metallized ceramic substrate proposed for the high voltage power modules, seems to be a technologically integrable solution for the optimization of the packaging for the purpose of the voltage rise in module. Moreover, the interest of the proposed solution compared with other published strategies, such as the use of innovative encapsulation materials was discussed, as well as the advantage offered of being able to combine the strengths of two types of approaches

Full textThis thesis focuses on interactions between liquids and elastic solids. We first revisit the snap-through instability from an elastocapillary point of view, showing that capillary forces are able to counterbalance gravity by inducing snap-through with a droplet deposited below a downward buckled elastic strip clamped at both ends. Equilibrium, stability, and dynamics of drop-strip systems are investigated, demonstrating the influence of droplet size and droplet position along the buckled strip, and showing that capillarity is driving the system toward instability but elasticity is ruling the subsequent dynamics. Spin-off versions of the experiment are also designed, including a humidity-controlled mechanical switch and upscaled experiments using soap bubbles.We then focus on interactions between silicone elastomers and aqueous droplets to understand the mechanisms underlying an unexpected two-regime droplet dynamics observed on vertical silicone elastomer plates. After demonstrating that this two-regime dynamics is due to the presence of uncrosslinked oligomers in the elastomer, we show that the speed transition coincides with a surface tension transition. A quantitative study of the droplets speeds in the two regimes is performed, and the timescale needed for uncrosslinked oligomers to cover the water-air interface is investigated both for sessile and moving droplets. We eventually show that uncrosslinked chains are extracted from the elastomer at the water - air - silicone elastomer triple line, and demonstrate that extraction occurs in various setups such as partially immersed silicone elastomer plates or air bubbles sliding up PDMS planes immersed in a water bath

Full textA partir de una lectura de Sein und Zeit y los cursos coetáneos a esta obra, nos interesa examinar la estructura trascendental del Dasein para explicar lo que entendemos como su carácter bidimensional. Para esto, analizamos la función del temple de ánimo en la dinámica de la estructura a través de la angustia (Angst) y el aburrimiento profundo (tiefe Langeweile). Enfatizamos la disposición afectiva como punto de partida existencial y condición de posibilidad para dos vías, ya que en la relación con el ser observamos cierta tensión entre dos dimensiones que hacen oscilar al Dasein hacia un movimiento de ocultación y uno de desocultación de lo que acontece. Con esta interpretación, pretendemos mostrar que la dinámica tensiva de la estructura bidimensional del Dasein aquí propuesta es el efecto de la originaria donación del ser.

Full textResistive random access memories (ReRAM) hold great potential for replacing Flash memories. A ReRAM memory (or MEMRISTOR) uses a resistive switching phenomenon found in Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structures under a voltage stress. Most researches were focused on the mechanisms governing the resistance switching in ReRAM devices and less attention has been paid to capacitance variation of MIM structures under a voltage stress. Our work is focused on that latter phenomenon. We study impedance variation (conductance and capacitance in the RF domain) in HfO2-based MIM structures. Above a threshold voltage (Set), concurrently to conductance increase, a decrease in the capacitance value is observed. Reproducible capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G-V) memory cycles are obtained. Frequency dependent characterizations (C-f and G-f), under different DC bias voltages, are performed with the aim of understanding the mechanisms of impedance switching. The capacitance decrease observed in the conducting (ON) state is attributed to the inductance of the filament created during the Set stage. Transport phenomena responsible for the filament inductive behavior are discussed. Impact of HfO2 deposition process (ALD), as well as the use of bi-layer structures, on C-V and G-V characteristics are shown. This work paves the way for the realization of new capacitance memory devices (mem-capacitors) and most generally for impedance memories (ZRAM). Potential of these devices to design reconfigurable filters (controlled by voltage bias) is demonstrated in a practical way

Full textFaced to a context of a global lack of growth in electricity consumption, but with many potential development of new uses, added with the appearance of more and more dispersed generation, the main French distribution grid utility needs to question and compare its choicesconcerning grid structure and exploitation practices. Grid building principles have a greatimpact over its capacity to integrate at low cost consumption and production facilities, whilemeeting society needs, mainly continuity of supply. This work allows to compare thosetechnical choices between France and other countries, to determine where French utilitystands and what are its specific features in a worldwide technical environment.After setting a perspective about uses and production development, mainly on the basis of French legislation, the overall distribution grid architecture is described. Functional differences in structure choices in the world are then analysed, their consequences in thesizing of equipments is underlined. Then the equilibrium between voltage levels is questioned,as the effect of territorial features on the grid. Finally, new technical choices are proposed after advantages and drawbacks analysis of existing world grids
