La méthode de minimisation de l'intégrale d'action (principe variationnel) permet d’obtenir les équations de propagation des ondes. Cette méthode a été généralisée aux milieux poreux de dimensions fractales, pour étudier la propagation acoustique dans le domaine temporel, en se basant sur le modèle du fluide équivalent. L'équation obtenue réécrite dans le domaine fréquentiel représente une généralisation de l'équation d'Helmholtz. Dans le cadre du modèle d'Allard-Johnson, l'équation de propagation a été résolue de manière analytique dans le domaine temporel, dans les régimes des hautes et des basses fréquences. La résolution a été faite par la méthode de la transformée de Laplace, et a porté sur un milieu poreux semi-infini. Il a été trouvé que la vitesse de propagation dépend de la dimension fractale. Pour un matériau poreux fractal d'épaisseur finie qui reçoit une onde acoustique en incidence normale, les conditions d’Euler ont été utilisées pour déterminer les champs réfléchi et transmis. La résolution du problème direct a été faite dans le domaine temporel, par la méthode de la transformée de Laplace, et par l’usage des fonctions de Mittag-Leffler. Le problème inverse a été résolu par la méthode de minimisation aux sens des moindres carrés. Des tests ont été effectués avec succès sur des données expérimentales, en utilisant des programmes numériques développés à partir du formalisme établi dans cette thèse. La résolution du problème inverse a permis de retrouver les paramètres acoustiques de mousses poreuses, dans les régimes des hautes et des basses fréquences. / The action integral minimization method (variational principle) provides the wave propagation equations. This method has been generalized to fractal dimensional porous media to study the acoustic propagation in the time domain, based on the equivalent fluid model. The resulting equation rewritten in the frequency domain represents a generalization for the Helmholtz equation. As part of the Allard-Johnson model, the propagation equation was solved analytically in the time domain, for both high and low frequencies fields. The resolution was made by the method of the Laplace transform, and focused on a semi-infinite porous medium. It was found that the wave velocity depends on the fractal dimension.For a fractal porous material of finite thickness which receives an acoustic wave at normal incidence, the Euler conditions were used to determine the reflected and transmitted fields. The resolution of the direct problem was made in the time domain by the method of the Laplace transform, and through the use of the Mittag-Leffler functions. The inverse problem was solved by the method of minimizing the least squares sense. Tests have been performed successfully on experimental data; programs written from the formalism developed in this work have allowed finding the acoustic parameters of porous foams, in the fields of high and low frequencies.

This study seeks to develop a method that generalises the use of Adams-Bashforth to solve or treat partial differential equations with local and non-local differentiation by deriving a two-step Adams-Bashforth numerical scheme in Laplace space. The resulting solution is then transformed back into the real space by using the inverse Laplace transform. This is a powerful numerical algorithm for fractional order derivative. The error analysis for the method is studied and presented. The numerical simulations of the method as applied to the four-dimensional model, Caputo-Lu-Chen model and the wave equation are presented. In the analysis, the bifurcation dynamics are discussed and the periodic doubling processes that eventually caused chaotic behaviour (butterfly attractor) are shown. The related graphical simulations that show the existence of fractal structure that is characterised by chaos and usually called strange attractors are provided. For the Caputo-Lu-Chen model, graphical simulations have been realised in both integer and fractional derivative orders. / Mathematical Sciences / M. Sc. (Applied Mathematics)

By the help of several examples the interactive work with the ClassPad330 is considered. The student can solve difficult exercises of practical applications step by step using the symbolic calculation and the graphic possibilities of the calculator. Sometimes several fields of mathematics are combined to solve a problem. Let us consider the ClassPad330 (with the actual operating system OS 03.03) and discuss on some new exercises in analysis, e.g. solving a linear differential equation by the help of the Laplace transformation and using the inverse Laplace transformation or considering the Fourier transformation in discrete time (the Fast Fourier Transformation FFT and the inverse FFT). We use the FFT- and IFFT-function to study periodic signals, if we only have a sequence generated by sampling the time signal. We know several ways to get a solution. The techniques for studying practical applications fall into the following three categories: analytic, graphic and numeric. We can use the Classpad software in the handheld or in the PC (ClassPad emulator version of the handheld).

Cette thèse traite de la résolution du problème direct de propagation d'un champ élastodynamique rayonné par une source dans un milieu stratifié anisotrope. Le contexte applicatif visé est le contrôle non destructif par ondes ultrasonores guidées de plaques de matériaux composites. Aux basses fréquences, ces matériaux sont assimilables à des milieux homogènes, anisotropes et dissipatifs. Deux approches causales sont étudiées et mises en oeuvre pour résoudre l'équation d'onde, et leur intérêt vis-à-vis de la méthode modale harmonique - la plus couramment employée dans ce domaine applicatif - est discuté. L'une des méthodes est modale et est formulée directement dans le domaine temporel. Elle permet de traiter facilement l'anisotropie, y compris en 3D, mais souffre des écueils classiques concernant le régime non-établi ou le cas du guide ouvert. L'autre approche est une formulation dans le domaine de Laplace de la méthode dite par ondes partielles. Elle présente l'intérêt d'être extrêmement polyvalente tout en conduisant à des coûts numériques tout à fait raisonnables. Dans un second temps, la possibilité d'exploiter ces deux méthodes pour résoudre des problèmes de diffraction par des défauts est étudiée. Une approche par éléments finis de frontière basée sur la méthode par ondes partielles est considérée. Elle permet de traiter efficacement le cas de défauts plans. L'extension à des défauts plus généraux est brièvement discutée. / This work adresses the direct problem of the propagation of an elastodynamic field radiated by a source in an anisotropic layered medium. Applications concern non destructive evaluation of composite plates by ultrasonic guided waves. In the lower frequencies, these materials can be modeled as homogeneous, anisotropic and dissipative media. Two causal approaches are studied and developped to solve the wave equation, and their interest is discussed regarding to the widely used harmonic modal method. One of these methods is modal, and is formulated directly in the time domain. It allows to deal easily with anisotropy, even in 3D ; however it also suffers classical shortcomings such as the high cost of the unestablished regime or the difficulty to deal with open waveguides. The other method is a formulation of the so-called partial-waves method in the Laplace domain. Its attractiveness relies in its versatility and in the fact that computational costs can be very acceptable. In a second time, we consider using both methods to solve problems of diffraction by defects. A boundary element method based on the partial-waves approach is developped and leads to solve very efficiently the case of a planar defect. The possibility of treating more general defects is briefly discussed.

Le mouvement Brownien réfléchi de manière oblique dans le quadrant, introduit par Harrison, Reiman, Varadhan et Williams dans les années 80, est un objet largement analysé dans la littérature probabiliste. Cette thèse, qui présente l’étude complète de la mesure invariante de ce processus dans tous les cônes du plan, a pour objectif plus global d’étendre au cadre continu une méthode analytique développée initialement pour les marches aléatoires dans le quart de plan par Fayolle, Iasnogorodski et Malyshev dans les années 70. Cette approche est basée sur des équations fonctionnelles, reliant des fonctions génératrices dans le cas discret et des transformées de Laplace dans le cas continu. Ces équations permettent de déterminer et de résoudre des problèmes frontière satisfaits par ces fonctions génératrices. Dans le cas récurrent, cela permet de calculer explicitement la mesure invariante du processus avec rebonds orthogonaux, dans le chapitre 2, et avec rebonds quelconques, dans le chapitre 3. Les transformées de Laplace des mesures invariantes sont prolongées analytiquement sur une surface de Riemann induite par le noyau de l’équation fonctionnelle. L’étude des singularités et l’application de méthodes du point col sur cette surface permettent de déterminer l’asymptotique complète de la mesure invariante selon toutes les directions dans le chapitre 4. / Obliquely reflected Brownian motion in the quadrant, introduced by Harrison, Reiman, Varadhan and Williams in the eighties, has been studied a lot in the probabilistic literature. This thesis, which presents the complete study of the invariant measure of this process in all the cones of the plan, has for overall aim to extend to the continuous framework an analytic method initially developped for random walks in the quarter plane by Fayolle, Iasnogorodski and Malyshev in the seventies. This approach is based on functional equations which link generating functions in the discrete case and Laplace transform in the continuous case. These equations allow to determine and to solve boundary value problems satisfied by these generating functions. In the recurrent case, it permits to compute explicitly the invariant measure of the process with orthogonal reflexions, in the chapter 2, and with any reflexions, in the chapter 3. The Laplace transform of the invariant measure is analytically extended to a Riemann surface induced by the kernel of the functional equation. The study of singularities and the use of saddle point methods on this surface allows to determine the full asymptotics of the invariant measure along every directions in the chapter 4.

We present several methods that allow the exact computation of the exponential matrix etA. Methods that include computation of eigenvectors or Laplace transform are very well-known, and they are mentioned herefor completeness. We also present other methods, not well-known inthe literature, that do not need the computation of eigenvectors, and are easy to introduce in a classroom, thus providing us with general formulas that can be applied to any matrix. / Presentamos varios métodos que permiten el calculo exacto de la matriz exponencial etA. Los métodos que incluyen el calculo de autovectores y la transformada de Laplace son bien conocidos, y son mencionados aquí por completitud. Se mencionan otros métodos, no tan conocidos en la literatura, que no incluyen el calculo de autovectores, y que proveen de fórmulas genéricas aplicables a cualquier matriz.

Wave propagation is a phenomenon resulting from high transient loadings where the duration of the load is in µ seconds range. In aerospace and space craft industries it is important to gain knowledge about the high frequency characteristics as it aids in structural health monitoring, wave transmission/attenuation for vibration and noise level reduction. The wave propagation problem can be approached by the conventional Finite Element Method(FEM); but at higher frequencies, the wavelengths being small, the size of the finite element is reduced to capture the response behavior accurately and thus increasing the number of equations to be solved, leading to high computational costs. On the other hand such problems are handled in the frequency domain using Fourier transforms and one such method is the Spectral Finite Element Method(SFEM). This method is introduced first by Doyle ,for isotropic case and later popularized in developing specific purpose elements for structural diagnostics for inhomogeneous materials, by Gopalakrishnan. The general approach in this method is that the partial differential wave equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations(ODEs) by transforming these equations to another space(transformed domain, say Fourier domain). The reduced ODEs are usually solved exactly, the solution of which gives the dynamic shape functions. The interpolating functions used here are exact solution of the governing differential equations and hence, the exact elemental dynamic stiffness matrix is derived. Thus, in the absence of any discontinuities, one element is sufficient to model 1-D waveguide of any length. This elemental stiffness matrix can be assembled to obtain the global matrix as in FEM, but in the transformed space. Thus after obtaining the solution, the original domain responses are obtained using the inverse transform. Both the above mentioned manuscripts present the Fourier transform based spectral finite element (FSFE), which has the inherent aliasing problem that is persistent in the application of the Fourier series/Fourier transforms. This is alleviated by using an additional throw-off element and/or introducing slight damping in to the system. More recently wave let transform based spectral finite element(WSFE) has been formulated which alleviated the aliasing problem; but has a limitation in obtaining the frequency characteristics, like the group speeds are accurate only up-to certain fraction of the Nyquist(central frequency). Currently in this thesis Laplace transform based spectral finite elements(LSFE) are developed for sandwich members. The advantages and limitations of the use of different transforms in the spectral finite element framework is presented in detail in Chapter-1. Sandwich structures are used in the space craft industry due to higher stiffness to weight ratio. Many issues considered in the design and analysis of sandwich structures are discussed in the well known books(by Zenkert, Beitzer). Typically the main load bearing structures are modeled as beam sand plates. Plate structures with kh<1 is analysed based on the Kirch off plate theory/Classical Plate Theory(CPT) and when the bending wavelength is small compared to the plate thickness, the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia needs to be included where, k is the wave number and h is the thickness of the plate. Many works regarding the wave propagation in sandwich structures has been published in the past literature for wave propagation in infinite sandwich structure and giving the complete description of dispersion relation with no restriction on frequency and wavelength. More recently exact analytical solution or simply supported sandwich plate has been derived. Also it is seen by comparison of dispersion curves obtained with exact (3D formulation of theory of elasticity) and simplified theories (2D formulation as generalization of Timoshenko theory) made on infinite domain and concluded that the simplified theory can be reliably used to assess the waveguide properties of sandwich plate in the frequency range of interest. In order to approach the problems with finite domain and their implementation in the use of general purpose code; finite degrees of freedom is enforced. The concept of displacement based theories provides the flexibility in assuming different kinematic deformations to approach these problems. Many of the displacement based theories incorporate the Equivalent Single Layer(ESL) approach and these can capture the global behavior with relative ease. Chapter-2 presents the Laplace spectral finite element for thick beams based on the First order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). Here the effect of different choices of the real part of the Laplace variable is demonstrated. It is shown that the real part of the Laplace variable acts as a numerical damping factor. The spectrum and dispersion relations are obtained and the use of these relations are demonstrated by an example. Here, for sandwich members based on FSDT, an appropriate choice of the correction factor ,which arises due to the inconsistency between the kinematic hypothesis and the desired accuracy is presented. Finally the response obtained by the use of the element is validated with experimental results. For high shock loading cases, the core flexibility induces local effects which are very predominant and this can lead to debonding of face sheets. The ESL theories mentioned above cannot capture these effects due to the computation of equivalent through the thickness section properties. Thus, higher order theories such as the layer-wise theories are required to capture the local behaviour. One such theory for sandwich panels is the Higher order Sandwich Plate theory (HSaPT). Here, the in-plane stress in the core has been neglected; but gives a good approximation for sandwich construction with soft cores. Including the axial inertial terms of the core will not yield constant shear stress distribution through the height of the core and hence more recently the Extended Higher order Sandwich Plate theory (EHSaPT) is proposed. The LSFE based on this theory has been formulated and is presented in Chapter-4. Detailed 3D orthotropic properties of typical sandwich construction is considered and the core compressibility effect of local behavior due to high shock loading is clearly brought out. As detailed local behavior is sought the degrees of freedom per element is high and the specific need for such theory as compared with the ESL theories is discussed. Chapter-4 presents the spectral finite element for plates based on FSDT. Here, multi-transform method is used to solve the partial differential equations of the plate. The effect of shear deformation is brought out in the spectrum and dispersion relations plots. Response results obtained by the formulated element is compared and validated with many different experimental results. Generally structures are built-up by connecting many different sub-structures. These connecting members, called joints play a very important role in the wave transmission/attenuation. Usually these joints are modeled as rigid joints; but in reality these are flexible and exhibits non-linear characteristics and offer high damping to the energy flow in the connected structures. Chapter-5 presents the attenuation and transmission of wave energy using the power flow approach for rigid joints for different configurations. Later, flexible spectral joint model is developed and the transmission/attenuation across the flexible joints is studied. The thesis ends with conclusion and highlighting futures cope based on the developments reported in this thesis.

This paper concentrates on the description of fractional order LTI SISO systems using generalized Laguerre functions. There are properties of generalized Laguerre functions described in the paper, and an orthogonal base of these functions is shown. Next the concept of fractional derivatives is explained. The last part of this paper deals with the representation of fractional order LTI SISO systems using generalized Laguerre functions. Several examples were solved to demonstrate the benefits of using these functions for the representation of LTI SISO systems.
