▼ Afin de définir une conception optimale d’un système électromécanique, celui-ci doit intégrer des contraintes toujours plus drastiques et de nombreux phénomènes physiques issus de : l’électromagnétique, l’aérothermique, l’électronique, la mécanique et l’acoustique. L’originalité de cette thèse est de proposer une modélisation multi-physique pour la conception reposant sur des modèles à constantes localisées : solution intermédiaire entre la modélisation analytique et numérique. Ces différents modèles permettront l’étude et la conception sous contraintes d’une machine synchrone à aimants permanents dédiée pour la traction ferroviaire. Les résultats de simulations seront comparés à des résultats éléments finis mais aussi à des essais expérimentaux. Ce modèle multi-physique est entièrement paramétré afin d’être associé à des outils d’optimisation. On utilisera ici une optimisation par essaim de particules pour chercher des compromis entre différents objectifs sous forme de Front de Pareto. Dans ce papier, nous ciblerons les objectifs suivants : le couple d’origine électromagnétique et le bruit d’origine électromagnétique. Finalement une étude de sensibilité valide la robustesse de la conception retenue quand celle-ci est soumise aux contraintes de fabrication. L’objectif étant de poser les bases d’un outil d’aide à la décision pour le choix d’une machine électrique
In order to perform an optimal design of electromechanical system, the designer must take into account ever more stringent constraints and many physical phenomena from electric, magnetic, aeraulic, thermic, electronic, mechanic and acoustic. The originality of this thesis is to put forward a multi-physic design based on lumped models: halfway between analytical and numerical modeling. These models allow sizing a permanent magnet synchronous machine under constraints for rail traction. The results are validated with finite element simulations and experimental analysis. The multi-physic modeling is fully automated, parameterized, in order to combine the model with the optimization tool. We used here particle swarm optimization to search compromises between several objectives (Pareto Front). In this paper, we focus on electromagnetic torque and electromagnetic noise. Finally a sensitive study validates the robustness of selected design when it is subjected to manufacturing constraints. The aim of this work is to propose a decision tool to size electrical machines

▼ Due to the detrimental effects of ride vibrations on occupants and increasing safety concerns, improvement in vehicle dynamic characteristics has become a key focus of researchers. Typically, ride and handling problems have been dealt with independently. There is a dearth of vehicle models capable of capturing occupant biodynamics and its implication on vehicle ride and handling. Also in general, the objective of conventional control systems has been to attenuate vertical dynamic response of the sprung mass of a vehicle. Feedback control based algorithms are predominantly used in active/semi-active suspensions that ignore the biodynamics of occupants.
In the current work, a new 50 degree-of-freedom (DOF) combined nonlinear
multi-occupant vehicle
model is developed using the
lumped parameter modelling (LPM) approach. The current
model provides a platform for performing a combined study of ride, handling and occupant biodynamics.
The
model is capable of simulating the combined effect of sitting occupancies, road inputs and driving maneuvers on biodynamic responses. It is analyzed using MATLAB/SIMULINK functionalities and validated by independently correlating the computed responses with existing experimental results. A study is performed on ride behavior of a vehicle-occupant system under two different transient road inputs. In addition, the effect of road roughness on vehicle ride is also studied.
Random road profiles are generated from road roughness spectrum given in the ISO 8608:1995 manual. Insights are developed into the ride dynamics of a vehicle traversing over roads of classes A, B, C and D at given test velocities. The effect of sitting occupancies and vehicle velocities on lateral dynamics is also studied. Results underscore the need for considering sitting occupancies while analyzing vehicle dynamics and also highlight the potential of the current
model. Furthermore, a Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse based feed-forward controller is developed and implemented in an independently acting semi-active seat suspension system. Feasibility of feed-forward control in primary suspensions is also investigated. Finally, issues of stability, performance and limitation of the controller are discussed.

▼ Thermoacoustics is a growing field in today's scientific society. It is possible that legislation and regulation may phase out conventional refrigeration systems due to the global warming potential of the working fluids. Thermoacoustic refrigeration does not rely on these potentially harmful gases, and is therefore a potential successor. The inline topology is a new topology for a thermoacoustic refrigerator. This topology consists of parts that would be found in most thermoacoustic devices, such as heat exchangers, regenerators, pistons, drivers, and ducts. What makes this new topology unique is that the inline topology consists of N identical segments. Each of the drivers are phased 360/N degrees from one another. Like many other thermoacoustic devices the inline topology is a complicated system, and there are few tools that can be employed in the design of these systems.
A
model based on
lumped element theory will be developed to assist in the design of an inline thermoacoustic refrigerator. The inline topology that will be modeled consists of three sections (each phased 120 degrees from one another) titled Trillium. Due to the repetitive sections in Trillium, a
model will be created for one section and be constrained so the effect of the rest of the system can influence the single section. The
lumped element
model must be simple and accurate so that it can aid in the design process of these devices. For the
lumped element
model to be useful, it must agree with the more complex models such as DELTA EC. After comparisons and validations, it was determined that the
lumped element
model is accurate enough to facilitate thermoacoustic refrigerator design. It was also determined that the
model is much easier to run, and allows the designer to explore system trends as a function of the system parameters.
Another benefit to a
lumped element
model is that the
model is simple enough to add, remove, and change system components. A system that is oscillating at 60 Hz will reach over five million cycles in one day, therefore the refrigerator must be designed for an infinite number of cycles. One of the most fatigue-prone parts of a thermoacoustic device is the flexure seal. A series spring was added into the
model, between the driver and the flexure seal, to investigate its effects on reducing the required displacement of the flexure seal while still matching the driver to the optimal system impedance.

▼ Hybrid models are those containing continuous and discontinuous behaviour. In constructing dynamic systems models, it is frequently desirable to abstract rapidly changing, highly nonlinear behaviour to a discontinuity. Bond graphs lend themselves to systems modelling by being multi-disciplinary and reflecting the physics of the system. One advantage is that they can produce a mathematical model in a form that simulates quickly and efficiently. Hybrid bond graphs are a logical development which could further improve speed and efficiency. A range of hybrid bond graph forms have been proposed which are suitable for either simulation or further analysis, but not both. None have reached common usage. A Hybrid bond graph method is proposed here which is suitable for simulation as well as providing engineering insight through analysis. This new method features a distinction between structural and parametric switching. The controlled junction is used for the former, and gives rise to dynamic causality. A controlled element is developed for the latter. Dynamic causality is unconstrained so as to aid insight, and a new notation is proposed. The junction structure matrix for the hybrid bond graph features Boolean terms to reflect the controlled junctions in the graph structure. This hybrid JSM is used to generate a mixed-Boolean state equation. When storage elements are in dynamic causality, the resulting system equation is implicit. The focus of this thesis is the exploitation of the model. The implicit form enables application of matrix-rank criteria from control theory, and control properties can be seen in the structure and causal assignment. An impulsive mode may occur when storage elements are in dynamic causality, but otherwise there are no energy losses associated with commutation because this method dictates the way discontinuities are abstracted. The main contribution is therefore a Hybrid Bond Graph which reflects the physics of commutating systems and offers engineering insight through the choice of controlled elements and dynamic causality. It generates a unique, implicit, mixed-Boolean system equation, describing all modes of operation. This form is suitable for both simulation and analysis.

▼ Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) is a general term used to describe minor injuries to the neck, mostly as a result of a rear-end motor vehicle collision. Although the injury is defined as minor, the long-term symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headache, or concentration difficulties, result in high costs to the economy, healthcare services and individuals. Consequently, there has been significant amount of research undertaken to understand and prevent WAD, covering experimental and computational studies. However, whiplash injuries are difficult to detect since diagnostic tools such as X-rays, CT (Computed Tomography) scans or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are not suitable to identify the location or the extent of the injury. Also, the injury mechanisms are not fully understood; hence mathematical criteria are used as surrogates to estimate the likelihood of injury. In the present research, a biofidelic, subject-adjustable head-and-neck model (i.e. the model is adjustable for individual subject characteristics) has been developed for rear-end impact whiplash analysis. Existing literature is used to develop the overall research framework (methodology), which has three main objectives: first to explain the importance of personalised protection investigations, second to evaluate the suitability of existing data for a subject-adjustable model, and third to define the required steps in the design of such a model. To generate the geometry of the model, previously published cascading equations capable of predicting the main vertebrae dimensions based on the subject characteristics age, gender and height are used. Also, in line with previous work, seven cervical neck segments represent the seven cervical vertebrae and all surrounding cervical tissues properties. The mass and moment of inertia properties of each segment are lumped into each respective segment. The intervertebral behaviour for two adjacent segments is described by non-linear spring-damper functions, which change according to subject specific characteristics. The model is driven by specification of the first thoracic vertebra (T1) motion. The model combines existing data and methods from different sources, utilising available data in the public domain. New procedures and techniques are incorporated to create a homogeneous model, which is adaptable to a wide range of subjects. The developed computational model is not simply a linear scaling of a master-model to other dimensions, but rather uses prediction equations to create the desired anthropometric model. The anthropometric model predictions for body part dimensions and inertia properties are successfully verified using anthropometric surveys available in the literature. Using lumped and non-linear stiffness and damping equations for the intervertebral joints, and without modelling separate muscles, the model is dynamically calibrated for different experimental sled test data available in the open domain. The joint equations and their coefficients are derived based on published joint data measurements…

▼ In 1910, Paris experienced its biggest flood in the 20th century. In 2010, for the anniversary of this event – supposed to happen every 100 years ! – the flood prediction model that is now used on the Seine basin was tested on its simulation,… and failed to reproduce the observed flood volume. This paper will try to explain, and correct, such disappointing results. Many hypotheses have been tested and based on their results, it has been decided to develop a frost module in order to assess the influence of this phenomenon – that is not taken into account by the lumped hydrological model that is used – on the flood formation. A soil temperature model using air temperature as input data was also designed because soil temperature data were not available in 1910. The addition of the frost module did not, however, bring many improvements to the 1910 flood simulation because frost is a too rare phenomenon on the Seine basin for the module to be correctly calibrated. However, new perspectives are presented to continue the research on this phenomenon.

▼ The placenta is very important during the start of life, providing the fetus with oxygen and nutrients from the maternal blood. Impaired growth of the placenta and additional placental ischaemia endangers the exchange of gasses, exchange of nutrients, and optimal growth of the fetus. This thesis investigates the feasibility of intrauterine ECMO to improve oxygen levels in fetal blood during placental ischaemia. Fetal blood would be retrieved from the umbilical artery, oxygenated in the ECMO system and fed back into the umbilical artery. The objective of this thesis is to design a cardiovascular
model to simulate the cardiovascular response to an ECMO support system. A
lumped parameter
model is created to approximate the fetal cardiovascular system. By performing a parameter search, haemodynamic parameters were gathered for the fetal
model. Data from 30 week fetuses was used as initial input, because of parameter accessibility. Parameters for the gestational age of 20 to 29 weeks were obtained by extrapolating the parameters from the fetus of 30 weeks with scaling factors. A sensitivity analysis was performed to analyse the flow and pressure distribution through the fetal cardiovascular system and the cardiovascular response to different parameters. Implementation of a cannula into one of the umbilical arteries increases the resistance of that artery. Simulating the cardiovascular response to the addition of the cannula showed promising results for the feasibility of intrauterine ECMO. The fetal heart is able to maintain blood flow through the cannula despite the fact that the resistance of the artery is increased. The placental resistance increases during placental ischaemia. Because of this higher resistance, blood flow through the placenta will decrease. However, even at a lower flow rate, oxygenation of blood flow via the umbilical artery is mostly sufficient. The reason is the high percentage of fetal cardiac output flowing through the placental circulation. The designed

▼ The awareness of the climate change is increasing and the effect of air-pollution is irrefutable. To decrease the emissions of large ships the required amount of fuel has to be minimized. This is done by increasing the efficiency of the engine, decreasing the hull resistance or by lowering the cruise speed. Another interesting way of decreasing the emission is by using Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP). The Turbosail is a promising type of wind propulsion for this purpose introduced by Jacques Cousteau[4]. The Turbosail is an aspirated wing which is able to generate up to 3 times more lift compared to a non aspirated wing. A lot of research has been done in order to increase the performance of the Turbosail. But this research has mainly been done on the outside of the Turbosail and the suction area is often modelled as an area with a uniform flow. In this research a model has been made in order to give insight in the behaviour and sensitivity of the suction system of the Turbosail. First the model foundation is described. A lumped parameter approach is chosen and the structure of the model is described. The model of the fan is described and after this the total model is made using Matlab Simulink. This model is made such that the number of elements (the amount of parts that the Turbosail is divided in) can be easily varied. This is done in order to perform a convergence study. Followed by a mathematical verification with carefully chosen tests the model is considered as verified. To understand the sensitivity of different parameters of the system a parameter variation is performed. Different parameters are varied and their effects are simulated. This yields insight in the sensitivity of the system and can be used in order to optimize the energy efficiency of the total suction system. Finally two possible improved designs are simulated combined with their decrease in power consumption. These results can be used for future simulations and designs with the main purpose to decrease the energy consumption of the shipping industry.

▼ In a high-speed digital system, issues of the signal integrity (SI) associated with the high-speed circuit and printed circuit boards (PCB) become more important as the operating frequency increases. To obtain accurate results of SI problems in the high-speed digital systems, circuit devices (active or passive) are simulated in a full-wave electromagnetic simulator to analyze the interaction between PCB and circuits. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is one of the most useful methods of full-wave electromagnetic simulation for analyzing passive and active circuits on a PCB. This dissertation presents two efficient schemes for processing arbitrary
lumped devices and a novel scheme for modeling diodes into FDTD method. For arbitrary linear two-terminal circuits, an efficient formulation that is based on control theory is presented. A novel FDTD approach that is based on Crank-Nicolson method is proposed to incorporate
multi-port circuits into FDTD. The accuracy of the proposed approaches is confirmed by comparing results obtained using them with those of the equivalent current source method (ECSM) and Agilentâs commercial software, ADS. A novel FDTD approach that efficiently incorporates nonlinear devices such as diodes by solving a quadratic equation in each time step to update the electric field is developed. The novelty of this proposed method is that the quadratic equation always has real solutions. The stability of the proposed method is numerically demonstrated and the accuracy is verified by comparison with ECSM and ADS.

▼ This study is concerned with whiplash injuries resulting from the sudden acceleration and deceleration of the head relative to the torso in vehicle collisions. Whiplash is the most common automobile injury, yet it is poorly understood. The objective of this thesis is to develop a representative rigid linkage lumped parameter model using Lagrangian mechanics to capture the relative motion of the head and cervical spine. Joint locations corresponding to the intervertebral centers of rotation are used to simulate the normal spinal movements and an inverse analysis is applied to determine the viscoelastic parameters for the spine, based on cadaver test results. The model is further validated using ANSYS dynamic finite element analysis and experimentally validated using a newly designed and fully instrumented whiplash test fixture. Our findings reveal the effectiveness of the simplified model which can be easily scaled to accommodate differences in collision severity, posture, gender, and occupant size.

▼ Complex systems are designed using the model-based design paradigm in which mathematical models of systems are created and checked against specifications. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are complex systems in which the physical environment is sensed and controlled by computational or cyber elements possibly distributed over communication networks. Various aspects of CPS design such as physical dynamics, software, control, and communication networking must interoperate correctly for correct functioning of the systems. Modeling formalisms, analysis techniques and tools for designing these different aspects have evolved independently, and remain dissimilar and disparate. There is no unifying formalism in which one can model all these aspects equally well. Therefore, model-based design of CPS must make use of a collection of models in several different formalisms and use respective analysis methods and tools together to ensure correct system design. To enable doing this in a formal manner, this thesis develops a framework for multi-model verification of cyber-physical systems based on behavioral semantics.
Heterogeneity arising from the different interacting aspects of CPS design must be addressed in order to enable system-level verification. In current practice, there is no principled approach that deals with this modeling heterogeneity within a formal framework. We develop behavioral semantics to address heterogeneity in a general yet formal manner. Our framework makes no assumptions about the specifics of any particular formalism, therefore it readily supports various formalisms, techniques and tools. Models can be analyzed independently in isolation, supporting separation of concerns. Mappings across heterogeneous semantic domains enable associations between analysis results. Interdependencies across different models and specifications can be formally represented as constraints over parameters and verification can be carried out in a semantically consistent manner. Composition of analysis results is supported both hierarchically across different levels of abstraction and structurally into interacting component models at a given level of abstraction. The theoretical concepts developed in the thesis are illustrated using a case study on the hierarchical heterogeneous verification of an automotive intersection collision avoidance system.

▼ The ear acts as a sensitive broadband receiver which transduces sound waves in the ear canal into electrical signals sent to the nervous system. The mechanics of the many small components which comprise the ear are fine-tuned to detect faint sound throughout a wide range of frequencies. By studying the mechanics of different components of the ear, the mechanisms which allow for such remarkable abilities can be better understood. In this thesis, the mechanics of components of the ears of several species are investigated: specifically, the mouse tectorial membrane (an extracellular matrix located in the inner ear), the chinchilla middle ear, and the bullfrog eardrum are studied. Previous experimental studies have revealed interesting phenomena in these components; this study aims to use computational models to clarify key aspects of the mechanics of these components. This thesis aims to characterize, for the first time, the anisotropic material properties of the tectorial membranes of wild-type and genetically modified mice at audio frequencies. Additionally, a circuit
model of the chinchilla middle ear, absent in literature prior to this study, was developed. Using this
model, this thesis aims to evaluate the influence of stiffness, damping, and inertial properties on middle-ear transmission characteristics. Lastly, in this thesis, a mechanical basis for the long group delay observed through the bullfrog eardrum is proposed.

▼ The lymphatic system is responsible for several vital roles in human body, one of which is maintaining fluid and protein balance. There is no central pump in the lymphatic system and the transport of fluid against gravity and adverse pressure gradient is maintained by the extrinsic and intrinsic pumping mechanisms. Any disruption of the lymphatic system due to trauma or injury can lead to edema. There is no cure for lymphedema partly because the knowledge of the function of the lymphatic system is lacking. Thus, a well-developed
model of the lymphatic system is crucial to improve our understanding of its function.
Here we used a
lumped parameter approach to
model a chain of lymphangions in series. Equations of conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and vessel wall force balance were solved for each lymphangion computationally. Due to the lack of knowledge of the parameters describing the system in the literature, more accurate measurements of these parameters should be pursued to advance the
model. Because of the difficulty of the isolated vessel and in-situ experiments, we performed a parameter sensitivity analysis to determine the parameters that affect the system most strongly. Our results showed that more accurate estimations of active contractile force and physiologic features of lymphangions, such as length/diameter ratios, should be pursued in future experiments. Also further experiments are required to refine the valve behavior and valve parameters.

▼ Congestive heart failure is caused when untreated heart diseases affect malfunction in the heart to a point where the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the body. The additional energy cost taxed onto the heart by heart diseases is the root cause of congestive heart failure. Currently, a disease severity guideline is used in the medical field to differentiate disease cases and their relative risk of causing congestive heart failure. The current disease severity guideline does not take into consideration workload when assessing the severity of a disease case. A zero-dimensional computational
model of the left ventricle was developed to simulate physiological and pathophysiological characteristics to quantify workload of hypothetical normal and diseased patient cases. The development of the computational
model has revealed that workload calculation possesses utility in differentiating the severity of risk that left ventricular diseases have on affecting congestive heart failure. Results of heart disease simulations for aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, and hypertension show the energy cost the diseases impose on the left ventricle compared to a normal patient
model. Additional results of simulations with combined mild cases of heart diseases show an amplified impact on energy cost - more than the energy cost of individual mild cases added together separately. The calculation of workload in computational simulations is an important step towards using workload as a universal indicator of risk of development of congestive heart failure and updating treatment guidelines so that prevention of congestive heart failure is more successful.

▼ Presented in this dissertation are novel models and techniques to analyze the whirling vibration of drillstrings during oil and gas (O&G) operations. Mathematical models are developed to solve for the dynamic whirl response. For this purpose, the drillstring is modeled by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are derived using established mechanics theory. The ODEs form a
lumped parameter representation accounting for the
physical system. Improvements are made to these equations, such as asymmetry, Hertzian friction contact, non-Hertzian contact, geometrical misalignment, and coupling of patterns of vibration. The equations are solved using numerical integration, but analytics technique are also applied when possible.
Further, stochastic techniques are introduced to solve for drillstring whirl with random process excitation. In this regard, Auto-Regressive-Moving-Average (ARMA) digital filters enable the synthesis of artificial time-histories that are compatible with a target excitation power spectrum. The target spectrum is obtained from downhole torque-on-bit (TOB) measurements, which are common excitation sources during drilling. Through Monte-Carlo simulation, the response of the dynamical system to artificial TOB time-histories is determined in a statistical sense.
Furthermore, the drillstring whirl behavior is elucidated through finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental measurements. A transient FEA
model is developed using a commercial software package to represent a three-dimensional (3D) whirling system. An experimental testing system is presented for the purpose of acquiring dynamic data during controlled drillstring whirl events. The FEA
model and experimental data are compared against the mathematical whirl models. The efficacy of the models to characterize drillstring whirl is determined from this comparison.
From a holistic perspective, the endeavor of this work is to enrich the field of drillstring dynamics by introducing novel models and techniques to better understand drillstring whirl in deterministic and stochastic systems. With the inclusion of modeling and experimental measurement the thesis seeks to strengthen the correlation between theory and reality.

▼ With the advent of high power density motors in
applications such as electric vehicles, the need for an effective
thermal analysis of motors is further warranted to ensure their
efficient and reliable operation. While existing
Lumped Parameter
Thermal Models (LPTMs) provide a convenient method for the thermal
evaluation of motor designs, they provide a single, average
temperature of the various regions of the motor without data on the
temperature variation in the axial direction. LPTMs are a
convenient reduced finite-element method to analyze the thermal
performance of electric motors based on their design parameters and
operating conditions. In this thesis the thermal analysis of a
Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMa-SynRM)
is conducted by proposing two LPTMs: 1. Radial
Lumped Parameter
Thermal
Model (R-LPTM).2. Axial
Lumped Parameter Thermal
Model
(A-LPTM).The R-LPTM adopts an existing approach considered for the
thermal modeling of interior rotor configurations with the key
contribution being the modeling of the unique rotor configuration
of the PMa-SynRM under study. In this approach, the individual
geometries of the motor are modeled as single nodes, the voltages
of which correspond to the average temperature for the respective
machine part. The A-LPTM introduces a novel thermal
model by
employing the Finite Volume Method (FVM). While the R-LPTM models
heat flow only in the radial direction due to the lamination
structure of the stator and the rotor regions, the extension of
this approach to the axially thermally shorted conductor coil
sides, the magnets and the shaft results in a relative
oversimplication of the heat transfer in these regions. While
equivalent
lumped thermal resistances
model axial heat flow in
these regions in the R-LPTM, by employing the FVM in the A-LPTM a
higher resolution of axial temperature data is determined by
providing a more accurate method of radial and axial heat flow
modeling in these regions. In this
model, the conductors, magnet
and shaft nodes are evaluated as a function of the position along
the axial length of the machine to determine their corresponding
axial temperature variation.The results of both the thermal models
formed in this thesis have been evaluated and the results were
compared with both experimental and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
data. The experimental data was determined using temperature
sensors mounted at various points in the machine. For the
temperature measurement of the magnet an innovative Printed Circuit
Board (PCB) integrated with sensors and wireless data transmission
capabilities was mounted on the rotor for real time axial
temperature measurement of the magnets.An analysis comparing the
data from the R-LPTM and the A-LPTM shows the advantages of the
A-LPTM. Additionally, plots of the accuracy of data obtained from
both the models clearly highlights their respective accuracy when
compared to the experimentally measured values. Lastly, a
sensitivity analysis of both models was determined as a function of
the thermal…

▼ The present research work has been carried out to develop a unified knowledge-based hybrid methodology combining regression-based,
lumped parameter and finite element analyses that can be implemented in the initial phase of vehicle design resulting in a superior side crash performance. As a first step, a regression-based
model (RBM) is developed between the injury parameter Thoracic Trauma Index (TTI) of the rear SID and characteristic side impact dynamic response variables such as rear door velocity (final) and intrusion supplementing an existing RBM for front TTI prediction. In order to derive the rear TTI RBM, existing public domain vehicle crash test data provided by NHTSA has been used. A computer-based tool with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been developed for obtaining possible solution sets of response variables satisfying the regression relations for both front and rear TTI. As a next step in the formulation of the present hybrid methodology for vehicle side impact safety design, a new
Lumped Parameter
Model (LPM) representing NHTSA side impact is developed. The LPM developed consists of body sub-systems like B-pillar, front door, rear door and rocker (i.e. sill) on the struck side of the vehicle, MDB, and “rest of the vehicle” as
lumped masses along with representative nonlinear springs between them. It has been envisaged that for the initial conceptual design to progress, the targets of dynamic response variables obtained from RBM should yield a set of spring characteristics broadly defining the required vehicle side structure. However, this is an inverse problem of dynamics which would require an inordinate amount of time to be solved iteratively. Hence a knowledge-based approach is adopted here to link the two sets of variables i.e., the dynamic response parameters (such as average door and B-pillar velocities, door intrusion, etc.) and the stiffness and strength characteristics of the springs present in LPM. In effect, this mapping is accomplished with the help of an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm (referred to as ANN_RBM_LPM in the current work). To generate the required knowledge database for ANN_RBM_LPM, one thousand cases of LPM chosen with the help of the Latin Hypercube technique are run with varying spring characteristics.
The goal of finding the desired design solutions describing vehicle geometry in an efficient manner is accomplished with the help of a second ANN algorithm which links sets of dynamic spring characteristics with sets of sectional properties of doors, B-pillar and rocker (referred as ANN_LPM_FEM in the current work). The implementation of this approach requires creation of a knowledge database containing paired sets of spring characteristics and sectional details just mentioned. The effectiveness of the hybrid methodology comprising both ANN_RBM_LPM and ANN_LPM_FEM is finally illustrated by improving the side impact performance of a Honda Accord finite element
model. Thus, the unique knowledge-based hybrid approach developed here can be deployed in real world…

▼ Developing full-wave simulators for high-frequency circuit simulation is a topic many researchers have investigated. Generally speaking, methods invoking analytic pre-processing of the deviceâs V-I relations (admittance or impedance) are computationally more efficient than methods employing numerical procedure to iteratively process the device at each time step. For circuits providing complex functionality, two-port or possibly
multi-port devices whether passive or active, are sure to appear in the circuits. Therefore, extensions to currently available full-wave methods for handling one-port devices to process
multi-port devices would be useful for hybrid microwave circuit designs. In this dissertation, an efficient scheme for processing arbitrary
multi-port devices in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed. The deviceâs admittance is analytically pre-processed and fitted into one grid cell. With an improved time-stepping expression, the computation efficiency is further increased.
Multi-port devices in the circuit can be systematically incorporated and analyzed in a full-wave manner. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparison with results from the equivalent current-source method and is numerically stable.

▼ Single dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD)
plasma actuators have been applied to a wide variety of aerodynamic
flow control applications ranging from stall suppression of
airfoils at high angles of attack to reducing tip leakage in jet
engine turbine blades. With increased interest in applying plasma
actuators to various engineering problems comes the need for an
efficient
model of the actuators that can be used in a CFD
simulation. Prior to the current work, a
model was developed that
captured many of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the actuator
by using circuits consisting of resistors and capacitors to
model
the plasma and dielectric material. In the current work, this
model
was refined by casting the governing equations in terms of a
generalized coordinate system so that it can be applied to curved
surfaces, the grid dependence of the
model was eliminated, and the
method of applying this
model as a boundary condition to the
electrostatic equations to calculate the body forces generated by
the actuator was studied. This new formulation of the
lumped
circuit element
model was then validated against various
experimental observations including force vector orientation needed
to produce observed induced flow, the scaling of the force with
input voltage, and the directivity patterns and pressure
time-series from acoustic measurements. The
model was also
implemented in a flow solver for the case of an impulsively started
actuator on a flat plate and compared to experimental data found in
literature. Finally, the utility of the
model was demonstrated by
simulating the use of actuators for flow control of the flow over a
circular cylinder and a modified blunt trailing edge wind turbine
blade.

▼ This research presents improved techniques to simulate gearbox vibrations due to faults in gears and bearings.
Lumped parameter models (LPMs) are widely used to study the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems such as gearboxes. However, LPMs contain limited information about flexible structures such as the casing. This results in poor spectral matching over a wide frequency range, and was found not to properly represent the modulation of gearmesh signals by extended bearing faults, this being affected by interaction with the casing dynamic properties. An alternative approach based on direct finite element analysis (FEA) is not usually viable as the
model size and thus computing resource requirements become prohibitive. Hence an improved simulation
model was developed by coupling the LPM of the internals (shafts, gears and bearings) with a reduced FE
model of the casing based on the Craig-Bampton method of component mode synthesis (CMS) over the frequency range of interest. Prior to
model reduction, the FE
model of the casing was updated by correlating with the results of experimental modal analysis (EMA). The combined
model was equally capable of simulating bearing faults in the UNSW parallel shaft spur gearbox. The responses due to bearing fault entry and exit were investigated, which can be used to predict the fault size a vital parameter in bearing diagnostics and prognostics. Simulated results compared well with measurements. The combined
model was further improved by making a reduced FE
model of the internals, to create a full reduced
model of the gearbox.A simplified transverse-torsional LPM was developed to simulate planet gear faults such as tooth cracks and spalls in the UNSW planetary gearbox. The effect of the two simultaneous meshes of the planet gear with the ring and sun gears was investigated since the contact with the two gears is on opposite flanks of each planet gear tooth. The simulated results correlated well with measurements and clearly differentiated the two types of faults with reduction in the stiffness due to a tooth crack visible in both contacts whereas a spall on one flank showed up only in one contact.

▼ A cyber-
physical system (CPS) typically consists of
networked computational elements
that control
physical processes.
As an integral part of CPS, the widespread deployment of
communicable sensors makes the task of monitoring and control quite
challenging especially from the viewpoint of scalability and
complexity. This research investigates two unique aspects of
overcoming such barriers, making a CPS more robust against data
explosion and network vulnerabilities. First, the correlated
characteristics of high-resolution sensor data are exploited to
significantly reduce the fused data volume. Specifically, spatial,
temporal and spatiotemporal compressed sensing approaches are
applied to sample the measurements in compressed form. Such
aggregation can directly be used in centralized static state
estimation even for a nonlinear system. This approach results in a
remarkable reduction in communication overhead as well as
memory/storage requirement. Secondly, an agent based architecture
is proposed, where the communicable sensors (identified as agents)
also perform local information processing. Based on the local and
underdetermined observation space, each agent can monitor only a
specific subset of global CPS states, necessitating neighborhood
information exchange. In this framework, we propose an agent based
static state estimation encompassing local consensus and least
square solution. Necessary bounds
for the consensus weights are
obtained through the maximum eigenvalue based convergence analysis
and are verified for a radial power distribution network. The agent
based formulation is also applied for a linear dynamical system and
the consensus approach is found to exhibit better and more robust
performance compared to a diffusion filter. The agent based Kalman
consensus filter (AKCF) is further investigated, when the agents
can choose between measurements and/or consensus, allowing the
economic allocation of sensing and communication tasks as well as
the temporary omission of faulty agents. The filter stability is
guaranteed by deriving necessary consensus bounds through Lyapunov
stability analysis. The states dynamically estimated from AKCF can
be used for state-feedback control in a
model predictive fashion.
The effect of lossy communication is investigated and critical
bounds on the link failure rate and the degree of consensus that
ensure stability of the agent based control are derived and
verified via simulations.

▼ There are several benets of electrohydraulic power steering systems, as compared to hydraulicpower steering systems where the pump is driven directly by the engine of the vehicle. Someof these benets are increased eciency and improved steering performance. The purpose ofthis project is to create a simulation model of the electrohydraulic power steering system inSimulink, excluding the hydraulic circuit. The model should thus consist of the electric motor,the drive electronics, the control system, the hydraulic pump as well as the communication andinterface to the master simulation system in which the model will be used.As a start a mathematical model of the motor is derived. Then the motor controller includingtwo current controllers and a speed controller is developed. The switching signals for the threephase bridge that drives the motor are calculated using space vector modulation. The motordrives a hydraulic pump, which is modeled using data sheet eciency curves. Finally a thermalmodel of the drive is developed. To fulll real time requirements, a lumped parameter approachis chosen. The nal model is exported as a Functional Mock-up Unit, which is a black-boxencapsulation of the complete simulation model.The simulation model is compared to measurement data to conrm its validity. Thesecomparisons shows that the dynamic response of the motor and its controller are close to themeasured values and that the thermal model adequately corresponds to the thermal tests. Thehydraulic pump model varied from measurements more than the other sub-modules. It was,however, seen as acceptable. Overall the system response was satisfactory, but naturally a lotof future improvements and new features could be made to improve the model.
Det finns flera fördelar med elektrohydraulisk servostyrning, där hydraulpumpen drivs av en el-motor, jämfört med hydraulisk servostyrning, där pumpen drivs direkt av fordonets förbränningsmotor. Några av dessa fördelar är ökad effektivitet och förbättrad styrprestanda. Syftet med detta projekt är att skapa en Simulink-modell av ett elektrohydraulisk system för servostyrning, exklusive hydraulkretsen. Modellen ska alltså bestå av delmodeller för elmotorn, drivelektroniken, styrsystemet, hydraulpumpen samt kommunikation med den övergripande simuleringsplattformen.Inledningsvis beskrivs en matematisk modell av elmotorn och efter det utvecklas motorstyrningen, bestående av två strömregulatorer samt en hastighetsregulator. Spänningen från strömregulatorerna uppnås genom space vector-modulation, som beräknar de pulskvoter som krävs för att uppnå denna spänning. Elmotorn driver en pump. Denna pump modelleras med hjälp av data från pumpens datablad. Slutligen modelleras drivelektronikens termiska egenskaper med ett termiskt nätverk. Den slutliga modellen omsluts av en Functional Mock-up Unit somintegreras i den övergripande simuleringsplattformen.

▼ Patient-specific cardiac models can be used to improve the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, practical application of these models is impeded by the computational costs and numerical uncertainties of fitting them to clinical measurements from individual patients. Reliable and efficient model tuning within medically-appropriate error bounds is a requirement for practical deployment in the time-constrained environment of the clinic. In this work, we present a framework to efficiently tune parameters of patient-specific mechanistic models using routinely acquired non-invasive patient data with a hybrid particle swarm and pattern search optimization algorithm.
The proposed framework is used to tune full-cycle lumped parameter circulatory models using clinical data obtained from patients as well as canine subjects; showing that the framework can be easily adapted to optimize cross-species models. It is also used to simultaneously obtain the unloaded geometry and passive myocardial material parameters of four left-ventricular cardiac finite element models constructed from canine subject MRI data. This demonstrates that the proposed approach can support the use of complex models to obtain data that cannot be directly measured. The patients gave informed consent and the canine subject studies were approved by the local Institutional Review Boards. The optimized results in all case studies were within acceptable error tolerances.
Additionally, the framework is extended to include uncertainty quantification – supporting model tuning with often-unreliable data sources that are ill-suited to a deterministic approach. The proposed approach for probabilistic model tuning discovers distributions of model inputs which generate target output distributions. Probabilistic sampling is performed using a model surrogate for computational efficiency and a general distribution parameterization is used to describe each input. The approach is tested on four test cases using CircAdapt, a cardiac circulatory model. Three test cases are synthetic, aiming to match the output distributions generated using known reference input data distributions, while the fourth example uses real-world patient data for the output distributions to obtain the input distribution. The results demonstrate accurate reproduction of the target output distributions, with accurate recreation of reference inputs for the three synthetic examples.
Overall, this work automates the use of biomechanics and circulatory cardiac models in both clinical and research environments by ameliorating the tedious process of manually fitting model parameters and supports the use of more complex models in practice through the quantification of error.

Tether Dynamics Analysis and Guidance & Control Design for Active Space Debris Removal.

▼ Recent years have seen a steep increase in research being performed towards active space debris removal: space debris has proven to be a very real threat to operational spacecraft, and studies indicate that the frequency of collisions will only increase if nothing is done to remove large pieces of debris. In particular, ESA has done studies towards removing Envisat from orbit, after communications were lost and were unable to be reestablished. To this end, a scenario was proposed in which a robotic chaser satellite would use a tether to interface with Envisat, either using a net or a harpoon, and proceed to deorbit the resulting tethered system. This research tackles two main challenges relating to this scenario. First, a suitable
model for the tether was developed by discretizing the tether into a number of point masses and massless Kelvin-Voigt elements. The influence of the number of nodes was investigated, showing that increasing the number of nodes used does not significantly increase the fidelity of the solution. Therefore, it was chosen to
model the tether with two nodes and three elements. Additionally, multiple combinations of tether length, stiffness, and damping were investigated. Second, a preliminary design for a guidance and control system was developed. This system uses multiple fixed-duration burns as the main deorbit strategy. The guidance system controls the relative state of the chaser with respect to the target during and after these main engine burns: during burns, a hold point is established at the equilibrium length of the tether, and during coasting phases the tether is kept slightly in tension to reduce target and tether motion. At the transition between thrusting and coasting phases, the thrust is gradually throttled down to further decrease these motions. The control system is designed to keep the chaser level with the local horizon at all times. During the design process, the performance of guidance and control systems based on linear quadratic regulators was used as a baseline for the same systems based on sliding-mode control. Furthermore, three different thrust levels for the deorbit burn were examined. It was found that the system based on sliding-mode control offered considerable performance improvements over the LQR-based system: total propellant consumption was reduced by an average of 48%, while adhering to the same tolerances. Furthermore, it was determined that high thrust levels are desirable for both reducing propellant consumption as well as reducing target rotation. In terms of safety, collision can best be avoided by using lower thrust levels or longer tethers. While this seems to conflict with minimizing required propellant, minimal target rotation and minimal propellant consumption can still be achieved by using long tethers with high stiffness. Finally, it was found that while sensitive to small changes in the initial conditions, the precision of the terminal point is still high enough to allow the target to be deorbited in the South Pacific Ocean. This result was…

▼ Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death in North America. Approximately half of all ischemic episodes are a direct result of carotid artery disease, which can be categorized into either obstructive or sclerotic disease. Obstructive disease is a result of plaque development that imposes a direct limitation on the physical space available for blood flow. Sclerotic disease involves the hardening of the arteries as is often a result of aging and disease. While the impact of vessel stiffening is not as obvious, it does interfere with wave propagation. Effects of obstructive and sclerotic disease were studied using a lumped parameter model that was designed to match an experimental in vitro flow loop. Mild to moderate stenosis had minimal impact on blood supply to the brain. Both stiffness of the carotid artery and severe stenosis ( 70%) had a significant reduction on blood supply to the brain (p<0.01).

▼ This work reports the experimental and numerical study of the thermal management of Li-ion battery packs under the context of electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid EV (HEV) applications. Li-ion batteries have been extensively demonstrated as an important power source for EVs or HEVs. However, thermal management is a critical challenge for their widespread deployment, due to their highly dynamic operation and the wide range of environments under which they operate. To address these challenges, this work developed several experimental platforms to study adaptive thermal management strategies. Parallel to the experimental effort,
multi-disciplinary models integrating heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and electro-thermal dynamics have been developed and validated, including detailed CFD models and
lumped parameter models. The major contributions are twofold. First, this work developed actively controlled strategies and experimentally demonstrated their effectiveness on a practical sized battery pack and dynamic thermal loads. The results show that these strategies effectively reduced both the parasitic energy consumption and the temperature non-uniformity while maintaining the maximum temperature rise in the pack. Second, this work established a new two dimensional
lumped parameter thermal
model to overcome the limitations of existing thermal models and extend their applicable range. This new
model provides accurate surface and core temperatures simulations comparable to detailed CFD models with a fraction of the computational cost.

▼ The Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is known for its ability to convert refinery wastes into useful fuels such as gasoline, diesel and some lighter products such as ethylene and propylene, which are major building blocks for the polyethylene and polypropylene production. It is the most important unit of the refinery. However, changes in quality, nature of crude oil blends feedstock, environmental changes and the desire to obtain higher profitability, lead to many alternative operating conditions of the FCC riser. There are two major reactors in the FCC unit: the riser and the regenerator. The production objective of the riser is the maximisation of gasoline and diesel, but it can also be used to maximise products like propylene, butylene etc. For the regenerator, it is for regeneration of spent or deactivated catalyst. To realise these objectives, mathematical models of the riser, disengage-stripping section, cyclones and regenerator were adopted from the literature and modified, and then used on the gPROMS model builder platform to make a virtual form of the FCC unit. A new parameter estimation technique was developed in this research and used to estimate new kinetic parameters for a new six lumps kinetic model based on an industrial unit. Research outputs have resulted in the following major products' yields: gasoline (plant; 47.31 wt% and simulation; 48.63 wt%) and diesel (plant; 18.57 wt% and simulation; 18.42 wt%) and this readily validates the new estimation methodology as well as the kinetic parameters estimated. The same methodology was used to estimate kinetic parameters for a new kinetic reaction scheme that considered propylene as a single lump. The yield of propylene was found to be 4.59 wt%, which is consistent with published data. For the first time, a Z-factor correlation analysis was used in the riser simulation to improve the hydrodynamics. It was found that different Z factor correlations predicted different riser operating pressures (90 - 279 kPa) and temperatures as well as the riser products. The Z factor correlation of Heidaryan et al. (2010a) was found to represent the condition of the riser, and depending on the catalyst-to-oil ratio, this ranges from 1.06 at the inlet of the riser to 0.92 at the exit. Optimisation was carried out to maximise gasoline, propylene in the riser and minimise CO2 in the regenerator. An increase of 4.51% gasoline, 8.93 wt.% increase in propylene as a single lump and 5.24 % reduction of carbon dioxide emission were achieved. Finally, varying the riser diameter was found to have very little effect on the yields of the riser products.

▼ The permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance
motor (PMa-SynRM) can be defined as a hybrid motor which utilizes
the advantages of both the synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) and
the interior permanent magnet motor (IPM). PMa-SynRM’s ability to
have a wider flux weakening range and less risk of demagnetization
makes it a perfect candidate for high-speed applications. However,
one of the main challenges for PMa-SynRM operating as a high-speed
motor is the stress generated in the rotor. This thesis presents an
optimal design procedure and rotor shape modification of a
high-speed multiphase PMa-SynRM for stress reduction.In this study,
a high-speed design of a five-phase PMa-SynRM has been done based
on a low-speed benchmark
model. An overall design procedure
consisting of a
lumped parameter
model (LPM) and a differential
evolution strategy (DES) was developed. In this study, a
lumped
parameter
model (LPM) is used to initially design the five-phase
PMa-SynRM. By using LPM and design parameters of stator and rotor
with given ranges, thousands of design have been generated. From
these designs, an optimal high-speed
model was developed with the
help of a differential evolution strategy (DES). To facilitate
high-speed design, a stress function and other performance
parameters are included in the objective function (OB).The
optimized 25krpm five-phase PMa-SynRM is implemented in the finite
element analysis (FEA) for simulation. Simulation results of the
average and cogging torque high-speed
model have been analyzed.
Another high-speed
model has been developed without considering
stress function in the design. Comparison of stress has been done
between the two high-speed models by doing stress analysis.
Simulation results indicated that stress can be reduced by 30.14%
if it is included in the design process. To reduce the stress of
the high-speed PMa-SynRM more, a mini flux barrier (FB) has been
added to the rotor. By using DES, the design parameters of the mini
FB have been optimized while considering the performance parameters
such as average torque, saturation in the mini FB area and the
deformation as constraints. Stress analysis has been done to see
the improvement after adding the optimized mini FB in the
high-speed
model. It showed that reduction of stress in the rotor
was 15.73% after adding the mini flux barrier.Finally, a novel
algorithm of the center post and rib length optimization for the
high-speed PMa-SynRM for stress reduction is presented. By using
multivariate correlation and nonlinear regression analysis,
performance parameters (average torque, induced back EMF, stress,
and deformation) have been modeled as a function of the center post
and rib length in second-order nonlinear equations. An initially
designed 30krpm PMa-SynRM has provided the sample data for those
analyses. These nonlinear equations are used for the optimization,
whose objective is stress reduction while optimizing the center
post and rib length. The comparison has been done between the
optimized motor and initially designed motor…

▼ This study addresses the development ofa multi-agent system model for use in supporting group
decision making and the challenges that face the implementation of such a model. As a proof of
concept, the model has been applied in a simulated environment in the health domain to help in
supporting decisions needed tobe madeby adonor regarding the fundingof ahealth facility.
One of the challenges that comes up in implementing models for group decision making is how
to co-ordinate the different parties (suchas people, business partners or software agents) that are
involved in making the decision and how to make sure that the system of decision makers
functions as aunit with a significantlevelofcoherence.
For example a model can be developed to represent the different levels in an organization
structure and how decisions can be supported at such levels or a multi-agent cooperative model
can be created for crisis management.
In this project it has been demonstrated that a model for a multi-agent system can use
cooperation and coordination to support decision making in a coherent manner - and therefore
solve a problem. This has been done by having several agents communicating with each other
and a coordination point to ensure the system functions as a unit. An agent model has been
implemented using the Java AgentDevelopment Framework (JADE)technology which provides
several tools packaged in a framework for implementing agent architecture, behavior and
communication. The interaction among the agents has been achieved through agent
communication implemented using the Agent Communication Language (ACL) component of
the JADE framework. Web based interfaces for input capture and display of output have been
implemented usingJava ServerPages (JSP). The complete model demonstratesthat cooperation
and coordination in a multi-agent system is applicable and can be used in providing solutions in
groupdecision making scenarios

▼ Lower-limb energy storage and return (ESAR) prostheses are constructed of carbon-fibre composite to approximately replicate the lower-limb of an able-bodied athlete during the stance phase of dynamic activities, such as running and jumping. However, the dynamic properties of ESAR prostheses means they adhere poorly to the underlying rigid body assumptions of conventional link segment models, and the associated impact on calculated mechanical behaviour is not well documented. As such, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate the types and limitations of existing mathematical models of lower-limb prostheses, and then develop alternative models of ESAR prosthesis mechanical behaviour - both independent from and during gait.Firstly, mathematical models of prosthetic feet independent from gait were developed. Finite element (FE) models of four ESAR prostheses were developed from mechanical testing, presenting a new and robust method of comparing the dynamic behaviour of different ESAR prostheses without resorting to destructive testing. To describe prosthesis behaviour with reduced computational cost compared to FE models, three
lumped-parameter models of four ESAR prostheses were also developed that enable the simulation of ground reaction force for a given prosthesis translation and rotation. Mathematical models of prosthesis behaviour during gait were then developed. A multibody FE
model was proposed, using experimental marker trajectories to prescribe the displacement of the rigid skeletal bodies as well as the proximal and distal ends of the prosthesis. Additionally, the effect of a link segment model’s marker-set and geometry on calculated lower-limb kinematics, kinetics and energetics during amputee sprinting was investigated. Five different link segment models of the Ottobock 1E90 Sprinter were developed and statistically compared. The results indicated that the omission of prosthesis-specific spatial, inertial and elastic properties from full-body models significantly influence the calculated amputee gait characteristics. The newly developed methodologies enable the analysis of ESAR prostheses without using a two-link segment
model to describe the mechanical behaviour. This research has the potential to optimise sporting technique as well as to provide more accurate data for health care professionals, improving the athletic performance and well-being of individuals with lower-limb amputation.
