▼ Dans un contexte de changement climatique, la caractérisation des variétés de blé tendre en réponse à des évènements de sécheresse et de stress thermique est un des défis de l’agriculture. Cette thèse, issue d’un partenariat -public entre Arvalis-Institut du Végétal, Biogemma et l’INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique), avait pour but de développer des connaissances et des outils nécessaires à l’identification de variétés tolérantes à la sécheresse et au stress thermique et à la création de variétés répondant à cette exigence. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé un panel de 220 variétés commerciales, génotypées avec 280K SNP et testées dans 35 environnements variés (combinaison d’année, lieu et régime hydrique), plus une expérimentation en conditions contrôlées où un stress thermique a été appliqué pendant le remplissage du grain. La complexité de l’étude de la tolérance à la sécheresse nous a conduit à présenter cette thèse en séparant, dans un premier temps, l’étude des stress hydriques et thermiques, puis de prospecter une méthode d’analyse multi-stress. Nous avons montré que même si la sélection a amélioré la performance des variétés en condition hydrique optimale, le progrès génétique doit être accéléré et mieux réparti en fonction des différents types de stress. Nous proposons pour cela plusieurs déterminants génétiques qui pourraient permettre un gain dans des environnements stressants. Nos résultats et méthodes sont discutés au regard des besoins en préconisation et amélioration variétale. Des pistes de recherche complémentaires et des améliorations ont aussi été suggérées.
In a context of climate change, the characterization of wheat varieties in response to drought and heat stress events is one of the major challenges of agriculture. This PhD thesis, resulting from a private-public partnership between Arvalis ‘Institut du Végétal’, Biogemma and INRA (“Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique”), aimed at providing necessary knowledge and tools to identify drought or heat-tolerant varieties and breed for varieties that meet these requirements. Analyses were conducted using a panel of 220 commercial varieties, genotyped with 280K SNP and tested in 35 environments (combination of year, location and water regime) and an experiment under controlled conditions where heat stress was applied during grain filling. The complexity of the study of drought and heat tolerance led us to present this thesis by first separating hydric and thermal stresses, and then to explore a multi-stress analysis method. Even if breeding has improved the performance of varieties under optimal water conditions, we showed that genetic progress must be accelerated and better distributed according to different stress scenarios. We propose several genetic determinants that could allow genetic gain in stressful environments. Our results and methods are discussed in view of the needs for varietal recommendation and improvement. Additional research strategies and methods improvements were also suggested.

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress experienced by teenage mothers attending school and the need for multi-faced and strength-based stress management programs. Trends of teenage pregnancy in developing and developed countries are looked at. Causes and consequences of teenage motherhood stress are also explored. One of the consequences of teenage motherhood is stress. There are programs aimed at alleviating stress of teenage motherhood. Some of these programs are evaluated. The findings of this study indicate that there is a need for multi-faced and strength-based interventions for teenage mothers. After the literature study, an empirical research was conducted to explore challenges faced by teenage mothers. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews with ten teenage mothers attending school and ten educators teaching teenage mothers. Collected data was analysed using the thematic data analysis approach. The major findings of the study include opinions that teenage mothers do not get assistance from school, home and in the community; teenage mothers are not ready for motherhood; they experience a feeling of vulnerability and poor performance at school. There is a need for educators to be trained in handling teenage mothers, as well as the need for multi-faceted and strength-based interventions.
However, it was evident through empirical research that some teenage mothers cope with their lives through talking to caring parents, spending quality time with their children, having a vision, keeping themselves busy and accepting that having a child while attending school is a challenge. Lastly, conclusions from the literature study and empirical research are presented in chapter five. Recommendations for practice, the contribution of the study, limitations of the study and recommendations for further study are also detailed. Motivation for designing and implementing intervention programs is also outlined.

▼ Prediction of critical shear
stress and determination of erosion rate due to concentrated flow plays a significant role in sustainability of engineering structures and watersheds management. Critical shear
stress of a soil marks the onset of erosion and unless the hydraulic shear
stress exceeds it erosion won't occur. Determination of critical shear
stress finds application in construction of engineering structures and use of various hydrological models in evaluation of watershed management strategies. Given this importance, it is significant to improve further on the existing methods. This dissertation developed a semi-empirical model to predict erosion rate of cohesive soil using Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE), and applied Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in assessment watershed erosion rates. The main questions addressed in this study were (1) is semi-empirical model a better predictor of erosion rates of cohesive soil? (2) is TKE a better predictor of critical shear
stress?, and (3) can
multi-year drought sediment yield dynamics be simulated under low data conditions? The adopted methodology involved laboratory experimentation using a direct tensile apparatus, Jet Erosion Test (JET) apparatus, MicroADV, and simulation studies. After the introductory chapter, the results of developing the semi-empirical model are given in Chapter Two. The results showed that the model output were comparable to those predicted by an existing model. In addition, the results showed that moisture content significantly influenced the soil erodibility characteristics of cohesive soils. In Chapter Three results of determining soil erodibility using TKE and JET apparatus for non-cohesive soil is presented. The result of the study showed that TKE is a better predictor of critical shear
stress of non-cohesive than published methods. Furthermore, the use of the JET apparatus provides a fast and easier approach to determining critical shear
stress of complex flows. In Chapter Four, the results of applying SWAT to simulate the impact of
multi-year drought under low data conditions in two basins in the Edwards Plateaus, Texas, are presented. Scenario analysis showed that in a multiyear drought maintenance of cover is an important part of strategy to reduce erosion rates. Finally, Chapter Five presents a summary and conclusion of the research.

▼ De nos jours, une gestion optimale de l'énergie électrique est devenue un enjeu majeur. La conversion de l'énergie entre une source et sa charge est réalisée par un élément central : le convertisseur statique utilisé aussi bien pour des faibles puissances (quelques Watts) que pour des très fortes (plusieurs MWatt). La brique élémentaire est la cellule de commutation constituée de semi-conducteurs de puissance (à commutation commandée ou spontanée) généralement réunis au sein d'un " module de puissance ". La nécessaire réduction des volumes dans certaines applications (comme les systèmes embarqués par exemple) ainsi que l'augmentation des calibres de tensions des nouveaux semi- conducteurs grands gaps auront comme conséquence directe d'augmenter les contraintes sur les systèmes d'isolation des convertisseurs. Une répartition contrôlée de ces contraintes dans le volume présente alors un intérêt pour maintenir la fiabilité du système d'isolation. Il est donc nécessaire d'effectuer une caractérisation la plus large possible de l'ensemble des matériaux isolants utilisés dans le packaging des dits " modules de puissance ", ainsi qu'une bonne compréhension de leurs mécanismes de défaillances. Le travail présenté ici consiste en l'étude d'une nouvelle stratégie de répartition du potentiel dans le volume appelée gradation de potentiel. L'isolation de volume développée est un assemblage multicouche constitué d'un matériau à conductivité contrôlée (Epoxy/Graphene) jouant le rôle de gradateur et d'une fine couche isolante (parylène) assurant la tenue en tension. Différents outils, tant théoriques (simulation) qu'expérimentaux, ont été ainsi utilisés pour aider au dimensionnent du système d'isolation électrique. La modélisation par la méthode des éléments finis (MEF) permet-elle de prédéterminer la répartition de la contrainte (potentiel et champ électrique) dans une structure de test prédéfini ou de décrire l'étude de l'influence de la conductivité du matériau gradateur et de l'épaisseur du film sur la répartition des équipotentielles. D'un point de vue expérimental le film sélectionné a été caractérisé pour des épaisseurs comprises entre 10 et 40 µm. Le matériau à conductivité contrôlée a été ensuite élaboré puis caractérisé pour différents taux de chargement. Après l'incorporation du système d'isolation dans différentes structures tests (substrats métallisés et structure double face), différentes méthodes permettant de caractériser le système d'isolation ont été utilisées qu'il s'agisse de mesures directes de la contrainte électrique par sonde à champ nul (potentiel de surface) ou indirectes par des mesures de décharges partielles. L'isolation multi-couches présente des améliorations dans la répartition du potentiel mais aussi des limites d'utilisation en fonction de la conductivité du matériau gradateur. Cette isolation doit donc être dimensionnée au plus près des caractéristiques d'utilisation et offre une approche intéressante pour le dimensionnement des modules de puissances double face.
Nowadays, an optimal management…

▼ Durant cette dernière décennie, plusieurs voies de régulation de l’homéostasie de différents ions ont été identifiées chez les plantes. Le croisement des données de la littérature révèle l’existence de connexions insoupçonnées entre ces différentes voies de régulation, limitant ainsi les perspectives d’apporter des solutions adaptées pour chaque élément. En effet, la carence ou l’excès en un seul élément cause une profonde perturbation de l’homéostasie des autres éléments associés. Un exemple frappant illustrant l’interconnexion entre l’homéostasie des ions est celui qui concerne le phosphate inorganique (Pi), le zinc (Zn) et le fer (Fe). Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de mon travail de thèse est de mieux comprendre les bases physiologiques et moléculaires de l’interaction entre le Pi, le Zn et le Fe chez les plantes. Trois plantes ont été utilisées dans ce travail : la plante modèle Arabidopsis thaliana, et deux plantes d’intérêt agronomique, la laitue (Lactuca sativa) et le riz (Oryza sativa L.). Chez la laitue, mes résultats montrent l’existence d’une base génétique pour la co-régulation de l’homéostasie du Pi et de celle du Zn chez les deux variétés de laitue utilisées, toute en y révélant un comportement contrasté. Chez le riz, j’ai prouvé également l’existence d'une base génétique pour les interactions non seulement entre les homéostasies du Pi, et celle du Zn et mais aussi avec celle du Fe, et j'ai démontré un rôle important du transporteur du Pi OsPHO1;1 dans ce processus. Enfin, en utilisant l’approche de génétique d’association, de nouveaux gènes impliqués dans les interactions homéostatiques Pi-Zn ont été caractérisés chez Arabidopsis.
Plants require a variety of elements for their basic biological functions. Interestingly, Transport, assimilation and utilization of these nutrients are not independent of another. However, the biological significance, molecular and genetic bases of these dependencies are not well understood. We use the over-accumulation of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in plants under zinc (Zn) deficiency as an example to dissect a fundamentally and agronomically important Pi-Zn interdependency in Lettuce, rice and Arabidopsis plants. We described the physiological and molecular basis of the interaction between Pi and Zn homeostasis. In Lettuce, we revealed a contrasting behavior between the two lettuce varieties in terms of the coregulation of Pi and Zn homeostasis. In rice, our data reveal coordination between pathways involved in Fe transport and PiZn signaling, which involves the OsPHO1; 1. In Arabidopsis, we discovred a new mecanism that plants use to gate defense and growth process in Pi-Zn dependant manner.

▼ Les écosystèmes marins côtiers sont soumis à des pressions anthropiques et naturelles qui placent les organismes aquatiques dans des situations de
multi-
stress.Ce travail doctoral avait pour objectif d’évaluer l’impact et de mieux comprendre les mécanismes d’adaptation des premiers stades de vie de moule exposés à deux facteurs environnementaux majeurs : la pollution métallique et l’accroissement des températures des eaux marines côtières. Les effets induits par l’exposition à deux polluants métalliques modèles (Cu et Ag) et à un
stress thermique modéré seuls ou en combinaison ont été évalués sur les stades précoces de développement de deux espèces de moule : Mytilus galloprovincialis et Mytilus edulis ainsi que leurs hybrides. Nos résultats montrent une augmentation significative du pourcentage de larves D ma lformées avec l’augmentation de la température. Par ailleurs, l’Ag apparaît significativement plus toxique que le Cu pour les larves. De plus,la toxicité des métaux s’accroit avec l’augmentation de la température. La coexposition aux métaux et à une température modérée augmente les activités enzymatiques antioxydantes de la catalase (CAT), de la superoxyde dismutase (SOD)et de la glutathion-S-transférase (GST) et accroît le contenu cellulaire en métallothionéines et la peroxydation lipidique. A une température plus élevée de 22 °C,une diminution significative des activités des enzymes antioxydantes est observée.Les dommages à l’ADN chez les larves-D de moule M. gallo provincialis ont été évalués à l’aide du test des comètes avec et sans traitement par la Formamidopyrimidine ADN glycosylase. L’exposition aux métaux et/ou à la température aaugmenté de manière significative les lésions de l’ADN sur les larves de moule,avec un effet plus accentué sur les dommages oxydatifs. Il a été montré également que le Cu et l’Ag sont accumulés différentiellement dans les larves en fonction de la température d’exposition. L’étude de l’expression par RT-qPCR de 18 gènes impliqués dans les défenses antioxydantes, la réparation de l’ADN, l’apoptose,la protéolyse, la transcription, les réponses au
stress thermique et la détoxification métallique a été conduite chez les larves-D de moule M. galloprovincialis.En cas d’un
stress thermique modéré, une tendance à la surexpression des gènes impliqués dans les défenses cellulaires est observée. Toutefois, en cas d’une coexposition métallique et thermique, les voies d’apoptose et d’altération cellulaires sont activées.Un plugin et une macro ont été développés pour le logiciel ImageJ afin d’évaluer et de caractériser le comportement de nage des larves D de M. galloprovincialis.Une augmentation significative de la vitesse maximale des larves-Davec l’augmentation de la température est observée sans que la vitesse moyenne soit affectée. En revanche, l’exposition au Cu et à l’Ag à 22 °C augmente significativement les vitesses moyenne et maximale des larves. En condition contrôle à18 °C, les larves suivent principalement des trajectoires rectilignes (88 %). Avec l’augmentation de la température…

▼ Les changements climatiques et l'émission de polluants dans l'environnement sont susceptibles d'entrainer des effets croisés sur les communautés et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Les changements de température sont notamment susceptibles de modifier le comportement et la toxicité des polluants, et de sensibiliser les organismes aux stress chimiques. Inversement, l'exposition à des polluants peut diminuer la tolérance thermique des espèces ectothermes comme les poissons. Dans ce contexte, nous avons étudié la réponse d'une espèce modèle de poissons en toxicologie aquatique, le Carassin doré (Carassius auratus), soumis à des stress chimique et thermique individuels et combinés. Pour cela, le carassin doré a été exposé à un cocktail d'herbicides et de fongicides à des concentrations réalistes d'un point de vue environnemental à deux températures pendant 96h ou 16 jours. Les réponses ont été observées de l'échelle moléculaire à l'échelle individuelle par des approches omiques (protéomique et métabolomique), biochimiques (cortisol, biomarqueurs de stress oxydant et allocation cellulaire énergétique), indicielles (indices somatiques et de condition) et comportementales (remaniement sédimentaire, activité, exploration et comportement alimentaire). Les résultats montrent que l'exposition des poissons aux stress chimique et thermique individuels entraine une réponse générale de stress impliquant des compensations biochimiques, énergétiques, physiologiques et comportementales. L'absence d'effets sur la santé générale des carassins suggère la mise en place d'une réponse de stress efficace et adaptée, bien que l'hypoactivité observée chez les poissons exposés aux cocktails de pesticides soit susceptible d'entrainer une diminution de leurs performances et de leur fitness. A l'inverse, les carassins exposés aux stress chimique et thermique combinés montrent une inhibition de la réponse générale de stress, avec des effets antagonistes sur la sécrétion de cortisol, l'induction de certains systèmes de défense antioxydants et la compensation énergétique. Des effets plus importants sont en revanche observés au niveau comportemental ainsi qu'une diminution significative de la condition générale des poissons. Ces résultats montrent que l'augmentation de la température sensibilise les poissons à la contamination de l'eau par les pesticides. L'inhibition de la réponse de stress chez des poissons exposés à des mélanges complexes de pesticides dans un écosystème soumis à de multiples contraintes pose de nombreuses questions pour la conservation des espèces dans l'environnement.

▼ Diagnosis and treatment for cancer may increase experiences of stress among breast cancer survivors (BCS) by sensitizing individuals to changes in body image. Body-related self- conscious emotions may be modifiable sources of such stress, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may moderate this association. This study examined these associations using an experience sampling method. Twenty women provided measures of body-related emotions and psychological stress six times per day for seven days, and wore accelerometers to measure MVPA. Multilevel modeling was used to test for day-level time-varying predictors of psychological stress. Within-person daily variability in body-related guilt positively predicted within-person daily variability in stress. Body-related shame and pride were not significant predictors of stress and MVPA did not moderate the effect. The time by MVPA interaction with psychological stress was significant. Based on these results, body-related emotions and MVPA are important to target in interventions committed to reducing BCSâ experiences of psychological stress.

▼ We assess the daily relationships between
three functional coping strategies and positive and negative affect
while accounting for the individual?s cognitive appraisal of their
encountered stressor, assessed by measuring the severity and
controllability of the encountered stressor. We collected 56 days
of daily-data from a later-life cohort (N = 230; Age 61 ? 87; M =
72.7; SD = 5.0) assessing affect, the most bothersome event
experienced that day, and which coping strategies they used to cope
with that event.
Multi-level modeling allowed us to explore and
compare the between- and within-person effects. Daily Altering the
Situation related to lower negative affect and higher positive
affect. This coping strategy buffered the impact of
stress severity
on negative affect. High use of this coping strategy mitigated
negative affect less in response to highly controllable stressors
compared to low use of this strategy. Daily Altering the Meaning
related to higher negative and higher positive affect. The mean
effect of Dispelling the Negative Effects of
stress related to
higher negative affect. Findings illustrate that certain coping
strategies target affective levels differently. The effectiveness
of Altering the Situation partly depends on aspects of the
encountered stressor.

▼ The 2010 AISC Specification establishes the Direct Analysis Method (DM) as the standard stability analysis and design procedure. Although the DM has important benefits over conventional stability design methods, the interface between the DM, the AISC Seismic Provisions and the seismic design requirements in ASCE-7 is not fully established. Since the DM, which was developed for design scenarios that do not contain seismic loading, includes the effects of initial geometric imperfections and inelastic behavior compounded by residual stresses, it is critical to explore the impact of these parameters on the seismic behavior of typical steel buildings before the DM is required for seismic design. To examine these issues, a series of steel special moment-resisting frame models were subjected to monotonic pushover, cyclic pushover and response history analyses. The observed behavior was used to draw comparisons between systems with and without residual stresses and initial imperfections. Cyclic strength degradation at beam-to-column connections was also considered to examine the potential interaction it may have with the other parameters. Whereas the well-known impact of strength degradation on cyclic stability was noted, residual stresses and initial imperfections did not have any appreciable effect on stability behavior for the systems considered. The analyses conducted in this study indicate no clear benefit to using the DM when designing ductile steel systems in high seismic regions and simpler design methods may be equally effective.

▼ In this thesis, a new traction
stress based method for characterizing shear strength is investigated by carrying out a series of shear strength tests. The AWS method for the calculation of shear strength shows significant discrepancies between longitudinal and transverse specimens. The main purpose of this new traction based definition for shear strength is to demonstrate that there exists a single shear strength value regardless of specimen geometry and loading conditions. With this new approach a better correlation between shear strength values for transverse and longitudinal specimens is achieved. Special issues occur with the
multi-pass welds in regards to the failure angle. The AWS equation does not account to different failure angles of the specimens, it only assumes 45
o failure angle in all the cases, but the new approach takes into account the different failure angles. Finally with this method a quantitative weld sizing can be achieved for fillet welds.

▼ Le niveau de vulnérabilité de populations naturelles de flet a été abordé dans cette étude, par l’intégration des réponses du poisson aux niveaux moléculaire, individuel et populationnel. Une approche multi-estuaire est développée ; les réponses du flet sont ainsi mesurées dans des conditions contrastées (stress thermique : estuaire du Mondego ; stress chimique : estuaire de Seine ; faibles niveaux de stress : Baie de Douarnenez, estuaires de Vilaine et Canche). Par une approche démo-génétique basée sur la variabilité des marqueurs microsatellites, nous avons mis en évidence une faible taille efficace de la population du Mondego située en limite Sud de l’aire de distribution, et donc caractérisée par un risque écologique élevé. La population de Seine présente une faible variabilité interindividuelle dans l’expression de différents gènes impliqués dans le métabolisme énergétique (COII, 12S), qui pourrait expliquer son faible potentiel à résister au réchauffement climatique. Cette population montre des signatures d’adaptation face au stress chimique (métabolisme énergétique élevé, gestion du stress oxydant, modification des phospholipides membranaires), engendrant probablement un coût physiologique fort (réduction des réserves énergétiques au niveau musculaire). La population de Seine présente donc un risque écologique élevé. Enfin, un encagement de flet a été mené sur un mois en estuaire de Seine; les réponses du poisson analysées par protéomique shot-gun ont mis en évidence un gradient de pollution décroissant amont-aval, soit une estimation de l’état écologique du système à micro-échelle. Cette thèse a identifié différents outils pertinents pour estimer le niveau de vulnérabilité de populations de flet, et pour explorer l’état écologique des écosystèmes estuariens.
The vulnerability level of natural flounder populations was assessed, integrating responses at the molecular, individual and population levels. A multi-estuary approach was carried out on the fish responses in contrasted environments (thermal stress: Mondego estuary; chemical stress: Seine estuary; moderately stressed systems: Bay of Douarnenez, Vilaine and Canche estuaries).A demo-genetic approach, considering the variability of microsatellites, underlined a reduced effective size for the southern peripheral population of the Mondego estuary, thus characterized by a high ecological risk.In the Seine population, a reduced interindividual variability was observed considering the expression levels of genes involved in bioenergetics (COII, 12S); this pattern could explain the reduced ability of this population to cope with another stress (ie thermal stress).Signatures of adaptation to pollutants (high level of energetic metabolism, management of oxidative stress, modification of membrane phopholipids) were observed in the Seine, but could be very costly (reduced muscle energetic reserve). Thus, we consider that the Seine population is displaying a high ecological risk.A one month fish caging experiment was conducted in the Seine estuary. Fish responses…

▼ Miniaturised ultra-precision components are in great demand in micro/nano electro-mechanical systems, whose surface features are generally intricate and of nanometric dimensions. Since milling has high machining accuracy, simplicity, environment-friendliness and capability of generating complex and ultra-precision features, nano-milling has been considered a promising technique for efficient fabrications of components with nanometric features. However, the critical challenge is that the fundamental material removal mechanisms for nano-milling are still unclear, due to the difficulties in nano-scale experiments.This thesis has conducted a systematic investigation into the nano-milling of single crystal copper with the aid of molecular dynamics analysis. The following are the main findings and conclusions:1. The Morse potential with compensation scaling can be used to reliably describe Cu-Cu interactions with both simulation accuracy and efficiency. A suitable integration time step for the simulation of copper, comprehensively determined by the algorithm constraint and bond-distance dynamics, has been identified to be within the range of 4 fs to 12 fs.2. Single crystal copper is sensitive to the rotational speed of a nano-milling tool. The resultant threshold cutting speed should be 2,062 m/s.3. The crystallographic orientation effect of single crystal copper has been identified through nano-scratching. The material coefficient has been found to vary with cutting directions.4. A chip removal criterion has been established according to the contact length of the macro-scale.5.
Stress waves have been found to propagate along the directions in 45 degree with the feeding direction of nano-milling and they can influence the minimum mid-wall thickness in a
multi-grooving process.6. The quality of both single- and
multi-grooving processes has been investigated by analysing the residual shear stresses around the grooves, shear strain rate variation and
stress wave propagation. The study reveals that the machining mechanisms of end milling and peripheral milling at the nano-scale are fairly similar. The depth of cut is critical to the groove quality from a single-milling path. Due to the minimisation of the surface energy, the groove geometry cannot be perfect, and the geometry distortion can spread to a depth of seven atomic layers. 7. It has been discovered that both the depth of cut and mid-wall thickness play a significant role in multiple grooving. The minimum mid-wall thickness in sequential grooving is determined by the highest residual shear
stress inside the workpiece. For simultaneous grooving, strain rate and highest shear
stress play important roles in Method-B (with opposite rotational orientations) and Method-A (with the same rotational orientation), respectively. 8. Dimensional analyses are preformed to generalise the simulation results, and dimensionless nano-milling charts are then constructed to guide the selection of nano-milling parameters based on grooving efficiency and quality.

▼ La modélisation des défauts de planéité apparaissant en ligne en laminage à froid des tôles minces est abordée comme un problème de flambage de tôles minces sous contraintes résiduelles. Celles-ci sont les contraintes engendrées au-delà de l'emprise par le laminage lui-même. Pour cela, un modèle de flambage et post-flambage de tôle (forme, amplitude, contraintes) fondé sur la méthode multi-échelle de Damil et Potier-Ferry, et nommé MSBM pour Multi-Scale Based Method, a été développé. En entrée, on y introduit une carte de contraintes post-emprise venant d'un calcul de laminage. Les hypothèses simplificatrices du modèle de flambement permettent de ramener sa résolution à un ensemble de problèmes éléments finis 1D, mais de ce fait restreignent l'analyse aux défauts de type bord long ou centre long. Dans sa version découplée, ce modèle a été comparé avec succès à des résultats de la littérature. Il permet d'effectuer des études paramétriques d'intérêt pratique, comme l'influence du frottement ou de la force de contre-flexion des cylindres sur l'état de contrainte et la géométrie de la tôle.Dans un second temps, ce modèle est introduit comme modèle de flambage intégré dans le logiciel éléments finis de laminage Lam3/Tec3. Comme dans le modèle précédent implémenté par Abdelkhalek en 2010, MSBM calcule un champ de déformation lié spécifiquement aux déplacements hors-plan caractérisant le flambage, champ de déformation qui est ajouté à la décomposition élastique – plastique et réactualisé à chaque itération du calcul éléments finis. Des comparaisons ont été effectuées avec les deux modèles couplés précédemment implantés par Abdelkhalek. Elles montrent les insuffisances du présent modèle de flambage, unidirectionnel, qui ne permet pas de traiter toutes ensemble les diverses instabilités, d'orientations différentes, qui ont lieu après la sortie d'emprise et se révèlent fortement couplées entre elles. Des pistes d'amélioration sont proposées en conséquence.
Modelling of on line manifest flatness defects in thin strip cold rolling is addressed as a problem of buckling under residual stresses. The latter are stresses built beyond the roll bite by the rolling process itself. To this aim, a buckling / post buckling model has been developed, giving strip shape, amplitude and stresses, based on Damil and Potier-Ferry's method and hereafter named MSBM like Multi-Scale Based Method. Its input is a post-bite stress map computed by a rolling model. Simplifications of the buckling model make it amenable to a series of 1D FEM solutions, but restrict its application to simple flatness defects such as wavy edges or wavy centre. In a decoupled version, it has been successfully compared with literature results. It allows parametric studies of practical interest, such as the influence of friction or work roll bending force on post-buckled strip shape and stress.In a second stage, this model is implemented as the internal buckling model in the FEM software Lam3/Tec3. As the previous one, implemented by Abdelkhalek in 2010, MSBM computes a…

▼ Un grand nombre de systèmes thermomécaniques industriels se trouve confronté à des régimes transitoires plus ou moins rapides suivant la fréquence de fonctionnement. L'amélioration de leurs performances nécessite l'utilisation de nouvelles structures du type multimatériaux ou barrière thermique. En effet, ces matériaux peuvent être de type multicouche en associant plusieurs couches rangées de façon à améliorer le comportement mécanique et thermique d’un système ou alors constitués d’un substrat revêtu d’une succession de couches minces obtenues par projection thermique par exemple.Dans un système donné, ces matériaux subissent généralement des sollicitations cycliques qui peuvent être d’origine thermique et/ou mécanique. Il est donc nécessaire de mieux connaître leur comportement thermomécanique en régimes élastique et plastique. Ainsi, l'étude présentée dans ce travail, limitée ici à des conditions périodiques uniquement d’origine thermique, traite de l'évolution de l'endommagement d'un matériau sous une ou plusieurs formes de fatigue thermique.L'origine de la sollicitation imposée provient d'une condition de flux périodique (sous forme d’échelon, de triangle ou de sinus) prenant en compte les pertes par convection. Sur le plan mécanique, le matériau est supposé fixe sur l’une de ses deux extrémités et libre de se déformer sur l’autre. Les contraintes et les déformations mécaniques dans le matériau proviennent essentiellement des différences des coefficients de dilatation thermique et des gradients de température dans le matériau. La nature variable et transitoire du comportement thermique du matériau permet de suivre l’évolution de la distribution des contraintes et des déformations au sein du matériau.L’étude de son endommagement est menée selon les cas, soit sur des modèles établis directement à partir du comportement thermo élastique soit sur des modèles nécessitant l’étude thermo-élastoplastique. Dans les deux cas, comme la plupart des modèles d’endommagement (Lemaître et Chaboche) rencontrés dans la littérature ne sont valides que sur des matériaux uniformes et homogènes, une recherche de matériau équivalent du multi-matériau étudié était nécessaire. L’équivalence entre le matériau réel et le matériau équivalent repose sur un critère d’équivalence thermique. Les modèles étudiés fournissent dans les deux cas, l'évolution de l'endommagement du matériau, en fonction des paramètres géométriques et aussi de la forme des sollicitations thermiques imposées telles que le coefficient d'échange par convection, l’amplitude et la période du flux imposé.Une application de ces modèles sur un exemple de moteur à combustion interne est proposée à la fin de ce mémoire. Elle montre une prédiction du nombre de cycles (durée de vie) du cylindre moteur en fonction des conditions de fonctionnement utilisées.

▼ The pavement system is subjected to complex
stress states under vehicular loading. A combination of axial and shear
stress has been identified as a potential cause of top down cracking (or more precisely near surface cracking) in asphalt surface. Therefore, in terms of modeling the material response a pertinent question is whether the typical one-dimensional viscoelastic properties of the material are affected by a
multi-axial
stress state. Such changes are referred to as interaction non-linearity. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether or not asphalt composites are susceptible to such interaction effects. The study was conducted using fine aggregate matrix (FAM), which comprises graded sand and asphalt binder.
To provide
multi-modal loading, the rectangular prismatic FAM specimens were used with the Arcan apparatus. This apparatus ensures low bending
stress and offers adjustments in the setup to provide different proportions of axial and shear
stress. Finite element modeling was done to evaluate the
stress state for different orientations of the sample in the Arcan apparatus. For measurement of strain, the study used digital image correlation (DIC), which is an optical, non-contact measurement technology. The strain thus measured was used to compute shear compliance. Fitting parameters of the shear compliances were estimated for power-law and Prony series for different loading orientations. When compared, the measured shear compliances do not show perceivable variation with respect to different proportion of axial
stress applied in conjunction. However, further testing with different temperatures and other magnitudes of shear
stress is necessary. This study is the first step to allow modeling of
stress and crack propagation behavior near the pavement surface where complex
stress state is present.

▼ Proper functioning of Insulated Rail Joints (IRJs) is essential for the safe operation of the railway signalling systems and broken rail identification circuitries. The Conventional IRJ (CIRJ) resembles structural butt joints consisting of two pieces of rails connected together through two joint bars on either side of their web and the assembly is held together through pre-tensioned bolts. As the IRJs should maintain electrical insulation between the two rails, a gap between the rail ends must be retained at all times and all metal contacting surfaces should be electrically isolated from each other using non-conductive material. At the gap, the rail ends lose longitudinal continuity and hence the vertical sections of the rail ends are often severely damaged, especially at the railhead, due to the passage of wheels compared to other continuously welded rail sections.
Fundamentally, the reason for the severe damage can be related to the singularities of the wheel-rail contact pressure and the railhead stress. No new generation designs that have emerged in the market to date have focussed on this fundamental; they only have provided attention to either the higher strength materials or the thickness of the sections of various components of the IRJs. In this thesis a novel method of shape optimisation of the railhead is developed to eliminate the pressure and stress singularities through changes to the original sharp corner shaped railhead into an arc profile in the longitudinal direction. The optimal shape of the longitudinal railhead profile has been determined using three nongradient methods in search of accuracy and efficiency: (1) Grid Search Method; (2) Genetic Algorithm Method and (3) Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Method. All these methods have been coupled with a parametric finite element formulation for the evaluation of the objective function for each iteration or generation depending on the search algorithm employed.
The optimal shape derived from these optimisation methods is termed as Stress Minimised Railhead (SMRH) in this thesis. This optimal SMRH design has exhibited significantly reduced stress concentration that remains well below the yield strength of the head hardened rail steels and has shifted the stress concentration location away from the critical zone of the railhead end. The reduction in the magnitude and the relocation of the stress concentration in the SMRH design has been validated through a full scale wheel – railhead interaction test rig; Railhead strains under the loaded wheels have been recorded using a non-contact digital image correlation method. Experimental study has confirmed the accuracy of the numerical predications.
Although the SMRH shaped IRJs eliminate stress singularities, they can still fail due to joint bar or bolt hole cracking; therefore, another conceptual design, termed as Embedded IRJ (EIRJ) in this thesis, with no joint bars and pre-tensioned bolts has been developed using a multi-objective optimisation formulation based on the coupled genetic algorithm –…

▼ As an alternative treatment to bone and cartilage
injuries, tissue engineering uses cells, scaffolds and mechanical
stimulation to produce cell-laden constructs in vitro.
Fluid-induced shear
stress (FSS) is able to facilitate desired
tissue formation and it has been shown to change cellular behaviour
of both 2 dimensional (2D) and 3D cultured cells inside a porous
scaffold. Mechanotransduction is the study of translating
mechanical stimuli to cellular behaviour. 2D mechanotransduction
studies often employ a parallel-plate flow chamber (PFC) to induce
FSS of which the magnitude can be calculated analytically. However,
the disturbance of the seeded cells to local flow field in
real-time needs to be elucidated. FSS up to 4 Pa is normally used
in 2D studies whereas significant lower FSS (up to 0.015 Pa) is
applied to 3D cultured cells to induce the same cellular response.
The geometrical cues introduced from a 3D porous scaffold has been
shown to influence cellular behaviour. Limited tools and in vitro
models are a major hurdle to 3D mechanotransduction study due to
the inaccessibility of 3D scaffolds. Because of the distinct
difference between bone and cartilage, osteochondral tissue
engineering (OCTE) employs bi-layered scaffolds and co-culture
bioreactors to create tissue-specific micro-environment. Additive
manufactured scaffolds from computer-aided designs (CAD) with
tunable properties are ideal candidates for OCTE. Firstly, this
project used a novel particle tracking technique to study the
real-time effect of local flow field on cellular behaviour of human
mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and mouse MC3T3-E1 cells during 1 h
perfusion. It showed that the local flow field is dependent on cell
morphology, which can lead to cellular behaviour change during the
perfusion in real-time. Secondly, this project developed a simple
in vitro 2.5D model using glass capillary tubes which mimics the 3D
cell culture environment with a curved surface. Compared to the 2D
culture, cells in the 2.5D model led to significant higher
osteogenesis under low levels of FSS. Moreover, a morphometric
analysis has been developed to quantify actin network
reorganisation during hMSC osteogenesis. Lastly, this project
developed an osteochondral culture system using a novel additive
manufactured scaffold and a co-culture perfusion bioreactor. It was
shown to support cell survival, proliferation and distribution,
which was comparable to a commercial acellular scaffold. The finite
element analysis (FEA) revealed that the culture system provided an
optimal osteochondral culture environment. Compared to the CAD, the
FEA showed that the actual produced scaffold geometry led to
significant different flow velocity, FSS and differentiation media
mixing.

▼ Carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are widely used in various engineering applications, such as in race cars and aircrafts, because they are light, stiff and strong. They commonly contain stress raisers in the form of holes and notches (for mechanical joining methods, routing of pipes and cables etc.) and are also often subjected to complex combined multi-axial stress conditions during service. Yet their notched multi-axial fracture behaviour remains largely unexplored. This is the main contribution of the thesis.
First, a novel loading fixture for applying a wide range of in-plane loading modes is developed based on the popular Arcan’s method. Termed the ‘modified Arcan rig’, it utilises friction gripping to transfer loads into tabbed specimens. This loading fixture is used to test centre-notched multi-directional CFRP laminates under different combinations of tension and shear stresses. Together with penetrant-enhanced X-ray CT and laminate de-ply, the fracture behaviour of quasi-isotropic CFRP specimens is investigated for the following loading modes: pure tension, pure compression, in-plane shear, and combined tension and shear. Two notch geometries (sharp notch and circular hole) are investigated to allow for an assessment of the role of stress concentration upon strength and damage development to be performed. Three distinct fracture modes are observed in a tensile/compressive-shear stress space (termed Mechanism A, Mechanism B and Mechanism C). It is observed that quasi-isotropic specimens with a central sharp notch are consistently stronger than equivalent specimens with a central circular hole (for all stress states investigated). An underlying micromechanical explanation concerning the effects of damage upon strength is proposed.
Second, a finite element (FE) model is developed using the commercial FE program, Abaqus FEA to simulate the observed progressive damage and failure in the quasi-isotropic specimens. The FE model employs independent material property data as inputs. Overall, good correlation between the simulations and the experiments is obtained, validating the FE strategy. The capabilities of the model are extended to predict the notched fracture behaviour of the specimens under combined compression and shear loading, for which experimental work has not been done by the author, but for which literature data exists.
Finally, the effect of laminate lay-up upon the notched multi-axial fracture behaviour of the CFRP specimens is explored by considering a 0° ply-dominated lay-up, a ±45° ply-dominated lay-up and a cross-ply lay-up, alongside the quasi-isotropic lay-up. Experiments reveal that all lay-ups exhibit Mechanisms A, B and C. However, the extent of damage in each Mechanism as well as the regime in which each Mechanism operates in (in the failure envelopes) strongly depend on the lay-up of the specimen. As expected, the tensile strengths and compressive strengths increase with the proportion of 0° plies. Surprisingly, the shear strengths do not scale with the proportion…

▼ Multi-pass fusion welding by a filler wire (welding electrode) is normally carried out to join thick steel sections used in most engineering applications. Welded joints in an installation, is the area of critical importance, since they are likely to contain a higher density of defects than the parent metal and their physical properties can differ significantly from the parent metal. Fusion arc welding process relies on intense local heating at a joint where a certain amount of the parent metal is melted and fused with additional metal from the filler wire. The intense local heating causes severe transient thermal gradients in the welded component and the resulting uneven cooling that follows produces a variably distributed residual stress field. In multi-pass welds, multiple thermal cycles resulted in a variably distribution of residual stress field across the weld and through the thickness. These complex thermal stresses generated in welds are undesirable but inevitable during fusion welding. Presence of such tensile residual stresses can be detrimental to the service integrity of a welded structure. In addition to a complex distribution of residual stress state, multi-pass welds also forms dendritic grain structure, which are repeatedly heated, resulting in segregation of alloying elements. Dendritic grain structure is weaker and segregation of alloying elements would result in formation of corrosion microcells as well as reduction in overall corrosion prevention due to depletion of alloying elements.

▼ As an alternative treatment to bone and cartilage injuries, tissue engineering uses cells, scaffolds and mechanical stimulation to produce cell-laden constructs in vitro. Fluid-induced shear stress (FSS) is able to facilitate desired tissue formation and it has been shown to change cellular behaviour of both 2 dimensional (2D) and 3D cultured cells inside a porous scaffold. Mechanotransduction is the study of translating mechanical stimuli to cellular behaviour. 2D mechanotransduction studies often employ a parallel-plate flow chamber (PFC) to induce FSS of which the magnitude can be calculated analytically. However, the disturbance of the seeded cells to local flow field in real-time needs to be elucidated. FSS up to 4 Pa is normally used in 2D studies whereas significant lower FSS (up to 0.015 Pa) is applied to 3D cultured cells to induce the same cellular response. The geometrical cues introduced from a 3D porous scaffold has been shown to influence cellular behaviour. Limited tools and in vitro models are a major hurdle to 3D mechanotransduction study due to the inaccessibility of 3D scaffolds. Because of the distinct difference between bone and cartilage, osteochondral tissue engineering (OCTE) employs bi-layered scaffolds and co-culture bioreactors to create tissue-specific micro-environment. Additive manufactured scaffolds from computer-aided designs (CAD) with tunable properties are ideal candidates for OCTE. Firstly, this project used a novel particle tracking technique to study the real-time effect of local flow field on cellular behaviour of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and mouse MC3T3-E1 cells during 1 h perfusion. It showed that the local flow field is dependent on cell morphology, which can lead to cellular behaviour change during the perfusion in real-time. Secondly, this project developed a simple in vitro 2.5D model using glass capillary tubes which mimics the 3D cell culture environment with a curved surface. Compared to the 2D culture, cells in the 2.5D model led to significant higher osteogenesis under low levels of FSS. Moreover, a morphometric analysis has been developed to quantify actin network reorganisation during hMSC osteogenesis. Lastly, this project developed an osteochondral culture system using a novel additive manufactured scaffold and a co-culture perfusion bioreactor. It was shown to support cell survival, proliferation and distribution, which was comparable to a commercial acellular scaffold. The finite element analysis (FEA) revealed that the culture system provided an optimal osteochondral culture environment. Compared to the CAD, the FEA showed that the actual produced scaffold geometry led to significant different flow velocity, FSS and differentiation media mixing.

▼ The competiveness between businesses is continuously increasing and
multi-sided platforms seek to reduce cost, increase efficiency and improve the quality of products and services. This research explored the role of blockchain technology as a driver for business model innovation of
multi-sided platforms. This case study contributed to scientific literature by analysing how blockchain technology can be used by
multi-sided platforms. The interview results were used to design a decentralized business model for Peerby. This business model facilitates the sharing of goods between individuals. The research outcomes reveal that
multi-sided platforms can use blockchain technology as a driver for business model innovation. Business models need to be both viable and feasible to function in a market. However, the early stage of development of blockchain technology comes with barriers for large-scale diffusion. Therefore, a business model
stress test workshop was organized that revealed how uncertainties, relating to market, society and regulation, affect the decentralized business model. The research outcomes are relevant for peer-to-peer
multi-sided platforms within the sharing economy. This case study could be used as a framework for a whitepaper that describes how
multi-sided platforms intend to use blockchain technology to benefit their users. This research takes a novel approach to business modelling research, which will be introduced as business model decentralization.

▼ Avec le développement des activités anthropiques, les milieux aquatiques connaissent des modifications physico-chimiques, par exemple, la présence de contaminants chimiques et la perturbation des cycles de température (réchauffement climatique) peuvent avoir des effets sur les organismes qui y vivent. Ce travail s'inscrit donc dans un contexte qui couvre, à la fois le besoin de développement de nouveaux outils d'évaluation de la qualité des milieux aquatiques, exigé par des réglementations telle que la DCE, et l'apport de nouvelles connaissances sur les effets des multistress sur les organismes vivants. Plus précisément, nous nous sommes intéressés à différents paramètres du métabolisme énergétique et à leur intérêt en tant que nouveaux biomarqueurs, chez l'épinoche à trois épines (Gasterosteus aculeatus), espèce modèle en écotoxicologie. Ce travail de thèse vise : (i) à caractériser l'influence de paramètres biotiques et abiotiques sur les paramètres choisis, (ii) à préciser le schéma de réponse des enzymes digestives dans un contexte de multistress (exposition chronique à une très faible concentration de cadmium et/ou à un stress thermique), et (iii) à renseigner les conséquences de cette exposition multiple sur la reproduction de l'épinoche, en lien avec la modulation des paramètres liés à l'énergie. Les résultats obtenus démontrent que la température est le facteur de stress majeur avec des répercussions négatives sur la majorité des paramètres étudiés (i.e. paramètres de croissance, quelques paramètres du métabolisme énergétique, paramètres du stress oxydant et paramètres de reproduction des parents). Concernant le cadmium, celui-ci engendre des effets au niveau moléculaire (enzymes digestives) mais n'affecte pas les paramètres de la reproduction des poissons adultes. Cependant, des conséquences de l'exposition au cadmium sont néanmoins observées sur les descendants (capacité de survie). L'impact négatif du multistress sur les paramètres de reproduction de l'épinoche peut être dû à un investissement parental altéré, qui probablement a fait suite à une altération de l'un des paramètres en relation avec l'acquisition de l'énergie, telles que les enzymes digestives. Ainsi, les paramètres associés au métabolisme énergétique, et tout particulièrement à l'acquisition de l'énergie (digestion) montrent une sensibilité intéressante aux différents stress étudiés soulignant leur potentiel en tant que nouveaux biomarqueurs.
In a large context of global warming (temperature increase), anthropogenic activities introduce significant amounts of organic and inorganic pollutants causing chemical and physical disruption on the aquatic ecosystems and there living organisms. This work is therefore part of a context that covers both the need for the development of new tools for assessing the quality of aquatic environments, as required by regulations such as the DCE, and the provision of new knowledge on multistress effects on living organisms. Specifically, we examined different energy metabolism parameters and their interest as…

MAP Kinase Signaling in Plant Responses to Biotic Stress.

▼ Plants must be able to perceive and properly respond to a multitude of environmental conditions and produce appropriate cellular responses for optimal growth and reproduction. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation cascades are critical components of signal transduction networks that mediate cellular responses to a wide range of both biotic and abiotic extracellular stimuli. This thesis presents an investigation of three novel aspects of MAPK signaling, the role of MAPKs in the regulation of cell death, the organization of MAPKs in a
multi-protein complex, and the negative regulation of MAPKs by MAPK phosphatases. In tomato, three MAPKs play an essential role in many
stress responses. When the genes for all three MAPKs are co-silenced, plants develop a spontaneous, runaway cell death phenotype. Necrotic lesions are associated with strong MAPK silencing, accumulation of catalase, and an elicitor-induced oxidative burst, that is stronger than in control plants. This indicates a novel role of MAPKs in the regulation of programmed cell death. In the second part of this research, a MAPK-containing
multi-protein complex was characterized that is involved in the regulation of MAPK dephosphorylation. Typically, only inactive MAPKs associate with the complex. However, when cells were treated with a phosphatase inhibitor, active MAPKs associated with the complex. This suggests the involvement of MAPK phosphatases with the complex. The function of MAPK phosphatases in
stress responses was further investigated in Arabidopsis MAPK phosphatase mutants. In these mutants MAPK signaling is altered in response to wounding and a bacterial elicitor, and this correlates with altered defenses to insects and pathogenic bacteria.

▼ Carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are widely used in various engineering applications, such as in race cars and aircrafts, because they are light, stiff and strong. They commonly contain stress raisers in the form of holes and notches (for mechanical joining methods, routing of pipes and cables etc.) and are also often subjected to complex combined multi-axial stress conditions during service. Yet their notched multi-axial fracture behaviour remains largely unexplored. This is the main contribution of the thesis. First, a novel loading fixture for applying a wide range of in-plane loading modes is developed based on the popular Arcan’s method. Termed the ‘modified Arcan rig’, it utilises friction gripping to transfer loads into tabbed specimens. This loading fixture is used to test centre-notched multi-directional CFRP laminates under different combinations of tension and shear stresses. Together with penetrant-enhanced X-ray CT and laminate de-ply, the fracture behaviour of quasi-isotropic CFRP specimens is investigated for the following loading modes: pure tension, pure compression, in-plane shear, and combined tension and shear. Two notch geometries (sharp notch and circular hole) are investigated to allow for an assessment of the role of stress concentration upon strength and damage development to be performed. Three distinct fracture modes are observed in a tensile/compressive-shear stress space (termed Mechanism A, Mechanism B and Mechanism C). It is observed that quasi-isotropic specimens with a central sharp notch are consistently stronger than equivalent specimens with a central circular hole (for all stress states investigated). An underlying micromechanical explanation concerning the effects of damage upon strength is proposed. Second, a finite element (FE) model is developed using the commercial FE program, Abaqus FEA to simulate the observed progressive damage and failure in the quasi-isotropic specimens. The FE model employs independent material property data as inputs. Overall, good correlation between the simulations and the experiments is obtained, validating the FE strategy. The capabilities of the model are extended to predict the notched fracture behaviour of the specimens under combined compression and shear loading, for which experimental work has not been done by the author, but for which literature data exists. Finally, the effect of laminate lay-up upon the notched multi-axial fracture behaviour of the CFRP specimens is explored by considering a 0° ply-dominated lay-up, a ±45° ply-dominated lay-up and a cross-ply lay-up, alongside the quasi-isotropic lay-up. Experiments reveal that all lay-ups exhibit Mechanisms A, B and C. However, the extent of damage in each Mechanism as well as the regime in which each Mechanism operates in (in the failure envelopes) strongly depend on the lay-up of the specimen. As expected, the tensile strengths and compressive strengths increase with the proportion of 0° plies. Surprisingly, the shear strengths do not scale with the proportion of ±45°…

▼ Coupling the s-CO2 Brayton cycle to the advanced
nuclear reactors generally requires an intermediate heat exchanger
(IHX). From an economic viewpoint, it is important to reduce the
size and cost of IHX, but at the same time, the thermal hydraulic
performances should not be deteriorated. Printed-circuit heat
exchanger (PCHE), one of advanced compact heat exchangers, has been
demonstrated as a competitive candidate. This thesis mainly focuses
on designing a PCHE-type advanced IHX with innovative surface
geometry with thermal, economic and mechanical consideration.Among
the four outstanding surface geometries, zigzag and S-shaped fin
channels are selected for a helium-to-s-CO2 IHX. Since the
thermal-hydraulic correlations of the zigzag channel with a variety
of geometrical parameters are available, a thermal-economic
optimization is carried out to optimize the design of zigzag
channel. For such
multi-objective optimization problem, the annual
total cost and heat exchanger thermal effectiveness are selected as
two objectives functions. NSGA-II (a fast and elitist non-dominated
sorting genetic algorithm), one of the widely used
multi-objective
genetic algorithms, is used for searching a group of Pareto-optimal
designs. It is found that among the Pareto-optimal solutions, the
total cost gradually increases with the thermal effectiveness
between 88 and 95% while rises rapidly after the heat exchanger
effectiveness exceeds around 95%. The sensitivity study shows that
for the solutions with thermal effectiveness below around 95% the
heat exchanger core physical length is the dominant factor that
causes conflict between the total cost and thermal effectiveness. A
similar trend can be observed from both the basic and extended
design space. The final selection of the optimal designs obtained
from the thermal-economic optimization requires a structural
evaluation of surface geometry, especially for high-temperature
high-pressure applications. S-shaped fin channels are chosen for
preliminary structural assessment using numerical simulation due to
the geometrical complexity and expected severe
stress
concentration. It is found that the excessive
stress concentrations
occur at tips of S-shaped fins when imposed with high-pressure
differential loading. A small portion of the fin yields while the
rest of the fin body remains low-
stress level. The design and
service limit prescribed in the ASME BPVC code is used to evaluate
local stresses of the S-shaped fin, and according to the criterion,
the reference model was allowed for 11.5 years of service with
small portion of fin body yielded.

▼ Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a transparent,
biocompatible, amorphous thermoplastic with a wide variety of
applications. With its relatively low glass transition temperature,
T
g, and ability to maintain high aspect
ratio features after processing, it is an ideal candidate for the
polymer processing technique of hot embossing. Hot embossing takes
advantage of the thermomechanical properties of PMMA by applying
the die at temperatures greater than T
g. The
highly viscous behavior of PMMA at temperatures greater than
T
g reduces the required pressure to fully
fill the features of the die. After cooling to a temperature less
than T
g, PMMA behaves as a solid and
maintains the relief shape of the stamp. Despite cooling to
temperatures less than T
g, the highly
viscoelastic nature of PMMA allows it to recover some of its
original shape, or spring-back, after load removal. While these
drastic temperature dependent material behaviors are ideal for hot
embossing, they make prediction of the final feature shape
extremely difficult. Previous simulations have focused on die
filling without considering demolding to avoid having to capture
these effects. However, without consideration of the spring-back
behavior during demolding, it is impossible to know the extent of
feature preservation.Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop
a large strain constitutive model spanning the glass transition
temperature capable of capturing the highly temperature and strain
dependent spring-back behavior of PMMA with application in a micro
hot embossing simulation. Large strain
stress relaxation
experiments are used to probe previous constitutive models to find
their weaknesses. From this, a new constitutive model is developed
to capture the highly temperature and strain dependent relaxation
effects. Temperature and strain dependence of spring-back is
investigated through modified unconfined recovery tests. Cooling is
incorporated into the constitutive model using these results and
then implemented into a finite element simulation to predict
spring-back. Temperature dependence of PMMA is further investigated
through simulations to determine its effect on spring-back.After
showing the constitutive model is capable of capturing the held
strain and temperature dependence of spring-back, it is used to
predict the final feature shape of microchannel hot embossing.
Large scale differences between the substrate and feature size
require development of a
multi-scale simulation technique. Boundary
conditions are extracted from a representative volume element on
the macro scale utilizing simplified die geometry and are applied
to a micro scale simulation using actual die geometry. High feature
resolution is maintained using this method while minimizing the
number of elements required and reducing computation time.
Simulations are verified to microchannels embossed into PMMA for
use in directed cell growth experiments. By capturing the
stress
relaxation behavior in the constitutive model,…

▼ Production systems with group housing of sows at different stages of production are increasing in Europe, as an effect of public demand for more animal welfare-friendly pig production. Some niche certified piglet production systems keep lactating sows with piglets in groups in multi-suckling pens. However, three factors have been identified as affecting certified piglet production in systems with multi-suckling pens: The occurrence of lactational oestrus, piglet mortality and within-litter weight variation at weaning. This thesis investigated the possibility to affect these three factors by altering management routines. Three different management routines that differed in terms of time spent in an individual farrowing pen post-farrowing, before the lactating sows with piglets were group-housed in a multi-suckling pen, were created. Time spent in the individual farrowing pen was one (W1), two (W2) or three weeks (W3). Piglets in all management routines were weaned at six weeks post-farrowing.
Only one of 43 sows ovulated during lactation. This was determined by post-mortem macroscopic examination of the ovaries and progesterone metabolite concentration in faeces. Interestingly, the weaning to standing oestrus interval was significantly shorter (p<0.001) for W2 (2.6 ±0.3 days) and W3 (2.7 ±0.2 days) than W1 (4.0 ±0.3 days). Piglet mortality in the multi-suckling pen was significantly lower (p<0.05) in W3 and W2 than W1. Within-litter weight variation did not differ between the management routines.
Stress induced by reallocation and mixing of sows can affect ovarian activity and was therefore assessed during the group-housing period by measuring cortisol concentrations in saliva sampled during the first four days post-mixing. Analysis showed that W3 sows were less stressed in the multi-suckling pen than W1 sows.
Overall, the results in this thesis on sow reproduction and piglet performance can be used for development of housing and management routines.

▼ Le taux de déformation des matériaux est élevé pendant le soudage / formage à grande vitesse, le découpage, le sertissage, etc. Les propriétés des matériaux sous déformation à grande vitesse ne suivent pas la même loi que dans le cas de chargement quasi statiques. La caractérisation des matériaux à taux de déformation important est assez difficile et nécessite des équipements sophistiqués. Grâce au développement de la technologie de formage électromagnétique, le test d'expansion d'anneau électromagnétique présente un grand potentiel à utiliser pour caractériser les matériaux à haute vitesse de déformation. Pendant le test d’expansion de l’anneau électromagnétique, la pièce à usiner peut atteindre une vitesse d’expansion de l’ordre de 100m/s et une vitesse de déformation de 104 s-1. Par conséquent, ce test peut être utilisé pour prédire les paramètres du matériau, tels que la dureté et la ductilité à déformation à grande vitesse. Pour d’atteindre cet objectif, un modèle approprié décrivant le processus est nécessaire. Ce modèle doit contenir un couplage électromagnétique-mécanique-thermique pour bien décrire le problème
multi-physique. Il existe deux méthodes principales de modélisation dans la littérature, viz. Les méthodes semi-analytiques et les méthodes des éléments finis (parfois combinées avec la méthode des éléments limitants). Les méthodes semi-analytiques nécessitent un temps de calcul court mais offrent une faible précision par rapport aux méthodes des éléments finis. Cependant, en raison de la complexité du couplage
multi-physique, l’erreur de calcul est difficile à estimer. De plus, les déformations hétérogènes ainsi que les états de contrainte compliqués peuvent influencer l’identification. Dans ce sens, cette thèse s’est principalement concentrée sur les méthodes d’analyse et de modélisation du test d’expansion d’anneau électromagnétique, incluant les comportements locaux et les phénomènes dynamiques à l’aide des outils expérimentaux et numériques. Par ailleurs, cette thèse comprend aussi le développement d’un méthode semi-analytique permettant le couplage
multi-physique, ce qui a été validé par un modèle numérique idéal et par des tests expérimentaux. Les résultats expérimentaux ont été obtenus à l’aide d’une caméra à grande vitesse et du vélocimétrie photovoltaïque Doppler (PDV) pour différents cas tests. Ils ont été utilisés pour déterminer les paramètres du processus et du matériau à l’aide des modèles numériques. Les modèles adaptés pour analyser les états de contrainte et de déformation durant le test d’expansion d’anneau montrent que ce dernier n’est pas un test de traction uniaxial pur comme revendiqué par les chercheurs. En outre, le phénomène de vibration qui se produise de la récupération élastique a été étudié par simulations
multi-physiques et par systèmes PDV. Cette étude de récupération élastique permet de mieux comprendre les paramètres influençant du test, ce qui pourrait être utilisé pour contrôler le rebond dans d’autres processus électromagnétique. La méthode de modélisation…

▼ La mise en place de Solvabilité II conduit les actuaires à s'interroger sur la bonne adéquation entre modèles et données. Aussi, cette thèse a pour objectif d'étudier plusieurs approches statistiques, souvent méconnues des praticiens, permettant l'utilisation de méthodes multi états pour modéliser et gérer les risques individuels en assurance. Le Chapitre 1 présente le contexte général de cette thèse et permet de faire positionner ses principales contributions. Nous abordons les concepts de base liés à l'utilisation de modèles multi-états en assurance et décrivons les techniques d'inférence classiques adaptées aux données rencontrées, qu'ils soient markoviens ou non-markoviens. Pour finir, nous présentons comment il est possible d'utiliser ces modèles pour la gestion des risques de crédit. Le Chapitre 2 se concentre sur l'utilisation de méthodes d'inférence non-paramétriques pour la construction de lois d'incidence en assurance dépendance. Puisque plusieurs causes d'entrée sont susceptibles d'intervenir et d'intéresser les actuaires, nous nous concentrons sur une méthode utilisée pour l'estimation de modèles multi-états markoviens en temps continu. Nous comparons, dans un second temps, ces estimateurs à ceux utilisés classiquement par les praticiens tires de l'analyse de survie. Cette seconde approche peut comporter des biais non négligeables car ne permettant pas d'appréhender correctement l'interaction possible entre les causes. En particulier, elle comprend une hypothèse d'indépendance ne pouvant être testée dans le cadre de modèles à risques concurrents. Notre approche consiste alors à mesurer l'erreur commise par les praticiens lors de la construction de lois d'incidence. Une application numérique est alors considérée sur la base des données d'un assureur dépendance
With the implementation of the Solvency II framework, actuaries should examine the good adequacy between models and data. This thesis aims to study several statistical approaches, often ignored by practitioners, enabling the use of multi-state methods to model and manage individual risks in insurance. Chapter 1 presents the general context of this thesis and positions its main contributions. The basic tools to use multi-state models in insurance are introduced and classical inference techniques, adapted to insurance data with and without the Markov assumption, are presented. Finally, a development of these models for credit risk is outlined. Chapter 2 focuses on using nonparametric inference methods to build incidence tables for long term care insurance contracts. Since there are several entry-causes in disability states which are useful for actuaries, an inference method for competing risks data, seen as a Markov multi-state model in continuous time, is used. In a second step, I compare these estimators to those conventionally used by practitioners, based on survival analysis methods. This second approach may involve significant bias because the interaction between entry-causes cannot be appropriately captured. In particular, these approaches…
