Thermal Topology Optimization of a Three-Layer Laminated Busbar for Power Converters

Oriol Puigdellivol, Damien Méresse, Yvonnick Le Menach, Souad Harmand, Jean-Francois Wecxsteen

This paper focuses on a topology optimization method for laminated busbars in power converters that minimizes the quantity of copper used while keeping the temperature under the allowed limits. Busbars are widely studied for adding their stray inductance to the commutation loop, which causes surge…

Investigation of the Driver’s Arm Viscoelastic Properties During Steering Vehicle Maneuver

Alaa Marouf, Philippe Pudlo, Chouki Sentouh, Mohamed Djemai

Driver's arm viscoelastic properties during steering vehicle maneuver are very important information to understand how the driver regulates his torque and they could be used to design a new driver assistance system. This correspondence paper investigates the driver's arm viscoelastic…

Influence of Road Excitation and Steering Wheel Input on Vehicle System Dynamic Responses

Zhen-Feng Wang, Ming-Ming Dong, Liang Gu, Jagat Jyoti Rath, Yechen Qin, Bin Bai

Considering the importance of increasing driving safety, the study of safety is a popular and critical topic of research in the vehicle industry. Vehicle roll behavior with sudden steering input is a main source of untripped rollover. However, previous research has seldom considered road excitation…

Influence of the heat affected zone on the dynamic behavior of a welded joint of armoured steel

Julien Carrier, Eric Markiewicz, Grégory Haugou, David Lebaillif, Nicolas Leconte, Hakim Naceur

Welded joints are often weakened areas due to geometrical stress concentration and heterogeneous materials. This study analyses both the dynamic strain rate sensitivity of materials constituting an armoured steel fillet welded joint: Base Metal (BM), Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) and Welded Metal (WM),…

A multi-topographical-instrument analysis: the breast implant texture measurement

Charles Garabédian, Rémi Delille, Raphaël Deltombe, Karine Anselme, Michael Atlan, Maxence Bigerelle

Capsular contracture is a major complication after implant-based breast augmentation. To address this tissue reaction, most manufacturers texture the outer breast implant surfaces with calibrated salt grains. However, the analysis of these surfaces on sub-micron scales has been under-studied. This…

Model-Driven Approach for Early Power-Aware Design Space Exploration of Embedded Systems

Fériel Ben Abdallah, Chiraz Trabelsi, Rabie Ben Atitallah, Mourad Abed

Due to the growing complexity of Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and the increasing cost of their redesign and fabrication, industrials are urgently looking for design methodologies allowing them to identify issues early in the design flow and to explore the largest possible space of solutions. Several…

Design and analysis of dual band star shape slotted patch antenna

Souheyla Ferouani, Zhor Bendahmane, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

This article proposes a new dual-band patch antenna for applications in the wireless local area network (WLAN) using MIMO technology. It consists on star shape slotted microstrip patch antenna, using FR4 substrate. The rectangular slotted patch uses microstrip feed line of 50 Ω characteristic…

Assessing the discriminating power of roughness parameters using a roughness databank

Maxence Bigerelle, Julie Marteau, François Blateyron

This article presents a methodology based on the use of a surface databank, which aims at assessing the discriminating power of 3D roughness parameters. The presented databank is composed of fourteen different sets of surfaces belonging to two main tribological categories: integrity and…

Toward an understanding of the effect of surface roughness on instrumented indentation results

Julie Marteau, Maxence Bigerelle

Performing indentation tests on rough surfaces at the microscale creates non-negligible scatter of the load–indentation depth curves and leads to an inaccurate computation of mechanical properties. In previous work, the minimization of the error between the shapes of the experimental loading curve…
