Experimental Study of Flow Control on Bluff Body using Piezoelectric Actuators

Nabil Tounsi, Rafika Mestiri, Laurent Keirsbulck, Hamid Oualli, Samir Hanchi, Fethi Aloui

Active flow control is experimentally investigated on a car-type bluff body. The actuation is based on a synthetic jet actuator placed at the top of the Ahmed body rear window. In the present paper, a synthetic jet characterization is presented, the frequencies and the optimal amplitudes with…

ASSESSMENT OF THE MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF A ZrN PVD COATING

Mariana Staia, A Trocelis, Amel Zairi, M Suarez, Eli Saúl Puchi-Cabrera, Alain Iost, Alex Montagne

The present work has been conducted in order to assess the mechanical and tribological performance of a ZrN coating deposited onto a H13 steel substrate by means of a closed field unbalanced magnetron-sputtering ion-plating (CFUMSIP) process. The hardness and elastic modulus of the coated system…

Differences between expert and novice gymnasts performance of a counter movement forward in flight on uneven bars

Aurore Huchez, Diane Haering, Patrice Holvoët, Franck Barbier, Mickael Begon

This study investigated the different strategies exhibited by expert and novice gymnasts in counter movement forward in flight on uneven bars. Eleven gymnasts performed three trials connected with a kip to support. The gymnasts were divided into two groups according to their ability to connect: six…

Simplex Enhanced Numerical Modeling of the Temperature Distribution in a Hydrogen Cooled Steel Coil Annealing Process

Abdallah Haouam, Maxence Bigerelle, Bachir Merzoug

The temperature distribution of steel coils during annealing process in hydrogen has a significant effect on their quality. It is approached by numerical modelling using the differential equations governing the heat transfers involved. The resolution is performed by the method of finite differences…

Management of divergent production network using decentralised multi-level capacitated lot-sizing models

Nesrine Zoghlami, Atour Taghipour, Christophe Merlo, Mourad Abed

Coordination between manufacturing organisations plays an important and an essential role in performance improvement of all members of supply networks. To achieve a coordinated plan, information sharing is considered as an essential tool, which facilitates the coordination of operations planning.…

Robust multimodal 2D and 3D face authentication using local feature fusion

Abdelmalik Ouamane, Mebarka Belahcene, Abdelhamid Benakcha, Salah Bourennane, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

In this work, we present a robust face authentication approach merging multiple descriptors and exploiting both 3D and 2D information. First, we correct the heads rotation in 3D by iterative closest point algorithm, followed by an efficient preprocessing phase. Then, we extract different features…

Mirror Effect Based Learning Systems to Predict Human Errors - Application to the Air Traffic Control

Frédéric Vanderhaegen

Resilience of a human-machine system such as air traffic control relates to the successful control of its instability. This instability can be due to the temporal variability or the magnitude of functional task demands, and this may provoke human error occurrence. The paper proposes an original…

Context-based evaluation of mobile knowledge management systems

Emna Ben Ayed, Christophe Kolski, Houcine Ezzedine

The technological revolution has been accompanied with the appearance of mobile systems. Mobile Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) which introduce a new style of managing organizations using mobile devices, are used in different contexts of use. So, a context based evaluation of such systems…

Numerical simulation of the flow through the blades of a swirl generator

Manel Wannassi, François Monnoyer de Galland

This paper aims at analyzing the dynamics behavior of the flow generated by blade swirlers. Three-dimensional calculations are carried out for different Reynolds numbers and blade angles (θ = 20◦, 30◦, and 45°). Flow field characteristics within the swirler and in the outgoing jet are examined in…

Control synthesis for polynomial discrete-time systems under input constraints via delayed-state Lyapunov functions

J. L. Pitarch, Jimmy Lauber, Thierry-Marie Guerra, Antonio Sala

This paper presents a discrete-time control design methodology for input-saturating systems using a Lyapunov function with dependence on present and past states. The approach is used to bypass the usual difficulty with full polynomial Lyapunov functions of expressing the problem in a convex way.…
