A quasi-static 3D model of wheelchair propulsion

Isam Hilal, Philippe Pudlo

The use of theoretical models is an alternative for studying the configuration of manual wheelchairs. Richter and Morrow proposed one of the theoretical models used to study propulsion in manual wheelchairs. However this analytical model is limited to use in the sagittal plane. This article…

Relationship between brightness and roughness of polypropylene abraded surfaces

Adrien van Gorp, Maxence Bigerelle, Denis Najjar

This article proposes to analyze the relation between gloss and roughness of surfaces of polypropylene samples abraded at different magnitudes. Experiments consist of mechanical polishing at different grades, roughness profiles measurement, and specular light reflectometry with three incidence…

Improvement of a non energy-consuming system: A gamma Stirling engine

Ramla Gheith, Fethi Aloui, Sassi Ben Nasrallah

In this paper, the classical adiabatic model was chosen. The assumption of perfect gas working fluid was replaced by that of a real gas working fluid. This last assumption was defined by the van der Waals state equation. A Gamma type Stirling engine functioning with a maximum filling pressure of 10…

A classification and Comparison of Usability Evaluation Methods for Interactive Adaptive Systems

Amira Dhouib, Abdelwaheb Trabelsi, Christophe Kolski, Neji Mahmoud

Usability is a crucial factor for interactive adaptive system success. Several methods have been proposed to support the usability evaluation of interactive adaptive systems. However, the diversity of these methods leaves the evaluators wondering what would be the most appropriate usability…

Numerical and Experimental Study on the Effects of Taylor Number on the Wavelength of the Couette-Taylor Flow

Mostafa Monfared, Ebrahim Shirani, Fethi Aloui, Mohammad Reza Salimpour

In the present study, the hydrodynamic behaviours of the Couette Taylor flow in different flow regimes were investigated, experimentally and numerically.In this research, the effects of Taylor number on wavelength of the flow, which are two important hydrodynamic charactristics of the Couette…

Aero-Thermal Optimization of a Heat Sink using Variable Neighbourhood Search

Pierre-Olivier Jandaud, Louis Lambourg, Souad Harmand

This paper presents a geometrical optimization of a heat sink modelled using three-dimensional CFD. The heat sink studied is circular with radial inlets and parallel fins. The parameters of the optimization are the different spacings between the fins. The optimization process is multi-objective and…

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…

An enhanced experimental procedure to rationalize on the impairment of perception of action capabilities

Yannick Daviaux, Sylvain Cremoux, Jessica Tallet, David Amarantini, Christophe Cornu, Thibault Deschamps

It is well documented that changes in the physiological states of the perceiver-actor influence the perception of action capabilities. However, because experimental procedures of most studies involved a limitless availability for stimuli visual encoding and perceptual strategies, it remains…
