Couplages matériaux procédés pour les alliages de cuivre du transport ferroviaire, Materials-processes couplings for the copper alloys in rail transport

Julie Chalon

Les raccords et connexions de caténaires ont un rôle important dans l’intégrité électrique et mécanique des caténaires. Ces pièces sont pour la plupart constituées d’un alliage de cuivre Cu-Ni-Si mis en forme par forgeage à chaud. Dans un contexte de fiabilisation du réseau ferroviaire, l’…, Contact wire splices play a leading role in the electric and mechanical integrity of the catenary systems. Most of these parts are made of Cu-Ni-Si alloys and manufactured by a hot forging process. With the aim of increasing the reliability of the railway network, the improvement of their…

A rule-based support system for dissonance discovery and control applied to car driving

Frédéric Vanderhaegen

This paper is based on the concept of dissonance, that is, gaps or conflicts existing in a specific knowledge base or among different knowledge bases. It presents a rule-based system that assists human operators in dissonance discovery and control by taking into account two kinds of dissonance, i.e…

Contributions on microscopic approaches to solve the train timetabling problem and its integration to the performance of infrastructure maintenance activities, Contributions d'un modèle microscopique à la résolution du problème de construction d'une grille horaire et à la planification des activités de maintenance de l'infrastructure ferroviaire

Luis Diego Arenas Pimentel

Most railway systems experience a growing demand of railway capacity. To face this demand, either new infrastructure must be built or a more efficient exploitation of the existing one must be attained. Timetables play a determinant role in the efficient capacity exploitation. Most timetabling…, La plupart des systèmes ferroviaires subissent une demande croissante de capacité. Pour y faire face, il faut construire de nouvelles infrastructures ou exploiter plus efficacement celles existantes, notamment en définissant des grilles horaires optimisées. Dans la littérature, la plupart des…

Caractérisation du comportement mécanique longitudinale d'un fil de para-aramide en sollicitation dynamique, Characterization of the longitudinal mechanical behavior of a para-aramid yarn in dynamic load

Caroline Chevalier

Ce travail a pour objectif d’étudier le comportement mécanique d’un fil de para-aramide en sollicitation longitudinale et dynamique. Pour ce faire, nous avons conçu un nouveau dispositif expérimental permettant de réaliser ces essais à l’aide d’un canon à gaz : le Dispositif de Traction par Impact…, This work aims at studying the mechanical behavior of a para-aramid yarn in dynamic and longitudinal load. To that end, we designed a new experimental device to achieve these tests with the use of a gas gun: the Tensile Impact Test for Yarn (TITY). This device met numerous modifications in the aim…

LMI-based adaptive control for uncertain polytopic systems

Victor Campos, Tran Anh-Tu Nguyen, Reinaldo Martinez Palhares

Despite the similarities between polytopic uncertain systems and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, there is a fundamental difference: the exact knowledge of the linear systems weighting functions (also known as membership functions in the fuzzy systems literature). This knowledge is usually incorporated…

Coordination et planification de systèmes multi-agents dans un environnement manufacturier, Coordination and motion planning of multi-agent systems in manufacturing environment

Guillaume Demesure

Cette thèse porte sur la navigation d'agents dans un environnement manufacturier. Le cadre général du travail relève de la navigation d'AGVs (véhicules autoguidés), transportant librement et intelligemment leur produit. L'objectif est de proposer des outils permettant la navigation…, This thesis is focused on agent navigation in a manufacturing environment. The proposed framework deals with the navigation of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), which freely and smartly transport their product. The objective is to propose some tools allowing the autonomous and cooperative…

Standardized Usability Questionnaires: Features and Quality Focus

Ahlem Assila, Káthia Marçal de Oliveira, Houcine Ezzedine

For the last few decades more than twenty standardized usability questionnaires for evaluating software systems have been proposed. These instruments have been widely used in the assessment of usability of user interfaces. They have their own characteristics, can be generic or address specific…

A new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method to select the distribution centers' location

Maroi Agrebi, Mourad Abed, Mohamed Nazih Omri

The location selection of distribution centers is one of important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new multi-actor multi-attribute decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select a preferred…
