Les travaux décrits dans ce document abordent le problème du couplage dynamique homme-système haptique. Nous proposons une étude de ce couplage basée sur l'hypothèse d'un système hybride temporaire. Selon cette hypothèse, le système formé lors du couplage peut être considéré comme un système dynamique dont les deux parties ne peuvent pas être séparées. Ce sujet est pluridisciplinaire, se situant à l'intersection des sciences cognitives, de l'automatique et de l'haptique. La première partie du document comporte un état de l'art sur l'analyse du couplage dans ces trois domaines, une description de la problématique et de la méthode à utiliser pour notre étude ainsi qu'une proposition des typologies du geste. Lors de cette étude du couplage, nous nous intéressons à un groupe de gestes particuliers, notamment le geste périodique et le geste passif dans une situation de simulation haptique ainsi qu'aux modèles d'interaction capables de les générer. La méthode générale, consiste à définir des approches pour la modélisation du couplage main-système haptique pour ensuite réaliser une analyse du système couplé à partir d'une acquisition des données du système lors du couplage et en utilisant des méthodes d'identification de paramètres issus de l'automatique pour caractériser les modèles. La dernière partie, décrit la mise en place du dispositif pour l'analyse expérimentale du couplage en situation de simulation avec une interaction haptique. Ce dispositif permet l'acquisition des données du geste pour l'analyse. Nous présentons également, l'étude réalisée sur le simulateur haptique afin d'établir l'équivalence entre les paramètres virtuels introduits et issus du simulateur et des paramètres physiques réels. Ensuite, nous décrivons l'analyse expérimentale des différentes situations de couplage proposées. Les expériences effectuées lors de cette étude ont été réalisées sur la plateforme temps réel ERGON_X, conçue par l'ACROE/ICA. Les résultats de ces expériences ont permis de quantifier les modèles du geste et d'observer ses composantes, selon les modèles établis.

We propose a study of this kind of coupling based on the hypothesis of a temporary hybrid system. Under this hypothesis, the system formed during the coupling can be considered as a dynamic system in which the two parties that compose it cannot be separated. This is multidisciplinary topic, situated at the intersection of cognitive science, automation and haptics. The first part of the document includes a state of the art on the analysis of coupling in these three areas, the description of the problem and the methodology for the study as well as a proposal of gesture typology. In this study of coupling, we are interested in a particular group of actions, such as periodic movement and passive gesture in a situation of haptic simulation and also, in the interaction models able to generate them. The general method is to define the approaches for modeling the hand-haptic device coupling and then perform an analysis of the coupled system by acquiring system data during the coupling and using parameter identification methods to characterize the models. The final section describes the implementation of the device for the experimental analysis of coupling during simulation with a haptic interaction. This device allows data acquisition for gesture analysis. We also present the study of the haptic simulator to establish the equivalence between virtual parameters introduced to and returned by the simulator and real physical parameters. Then, we describe the experimental analysis of different proposed coupling situations. The experiments performed for this study were performed using the real-time platform ERGON_X, designed by ACROE / ICA. The results of these experiments were used to quantify gesture models and to observe its components, according to established models. Keywords: haptic, haptic interface, human-machine interfaces, real-time simulation, human-object coupling, gesture, physical modeling, parameter identification.

Instead of the classic modelling approach, where the robot position coordinates (x,y) are utilized as state variables (resulting in a non linear model), the proposed discrete model is based on the travelled distance increment Delta_l. Thus, the resulting model is linear and time invariant and it can be identified through classical methods such as Recursive Least Mean Squares. This approach has a problem: Delta_l can not be directly measured. In this paper, this problem is solved using an estimate of Delta_l based on a second order polynomial approximation. Experimental data were colected and the proposed method was used to identify the model of a real robot / Esta disserta??o apresenta uma metodologia de modelagem e identifica??o para um rob? m?vel dotado de rodas.

(x, y) s?o usadas como vari?veis de estado (o que resulta em um modelo n?o linear), o modelo discreto proposto utiliza o incremento na dist?ncia percorrida pelo rob? Delta_l.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In the present work the effect of a dry friction damper device on the dynamic behavior of vibratory systems is analyzed. Two friction devices are designed consisting of a sphere in contact with a flat steel bar. In the first prototype the normal force on the contact is kept constant. In the second device a piezoelectric actuator is used to vary the intensity of the normal force. An experimental methodology is developed to analyze the dynamic behavior of a vibratory system and to identify the physical properties of the friction damper devices. The mathematical-computational models of the two friction dampers are used to perform simulations with a vibratory system, in order to analyze the influence of the variation of the normal contact force on the behavior of the vibratory system and to evaluate the dissipation of vibrational energy. In the first damper, an experimental methodology is used to identify the behavior of friction force induced on the vibratory system, and also to identify nonlinearities due to friction Frequency response is used to identify the structural frequencies generated by the device, as well the operational band of the damper device with constant normal force. The time domain vibratory system response is used to identify the Coulomb friction model. The second damper is designed by finite element method. Experimental analysis of the device is applied to identify the parameters that define the static and dynamic behavior of the damper with variable normal load, The frequency response is used to identify the structural frequencies generated by the device, as well it s effective operational band.. Another experiment evaluates the effect of the normal contact force variation on the dynamic response of a vibratory structure. The vibratory system response is identified using Coulomb friction models. Finally, numerical simulations are used to evaluate the effect of the normal contact variation, generated by a semi active control, on the vibratory system dynamic behavior. The vibration attenuation and the power demand of the piezoelectric actuator .are evaluated. / Neste trabalho é analisado o efeito de amortecedores de atrito seco sobre o comportamento dinâmico de um sistema vibratório de um grau de liberdade São projetados dois dispositivos de atrito constituídos por uma esfera em contato com um barra plana de aço.

Sistemas de levitação eletromagnética são de interesse quando se necessita de tecnologia envolvendo redução de atrito, atuação sem contato físico, máquinas rotativas e trens de alta velocidade. Devido à presença de não linearidades em sua dinâmica, pesquisadores têm dado atenção ao desenvolvimento de controladores mais sofisticados, com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho desses sistemas. Controladores lineares apresentam limitações na faixa de operação da variável controlada e, geralmente apresentam baixa robustez quando aplicados em sistemas não lineares. O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver controladores não lineares com diferentes estruturas e analisá-los quando aplicados em um protótipo do sistema físico. Inicialmente, o sistema é modelado matematicamente através da abordagem fenomenológica. Em seguida, os parâmetros do modelo são identificados através de dados obtidos experimentalmente. Conhecendo bem a dinâmica do sistema através do modelo, são projetados três controladores de diferentes estruturas utilizando simulações computacionais. O primeiro é o PID clássico, controle linear amplamente utilizado em processos industriais. O segundo controlador é um PID com topologia não linear, denominado NPID. Este visa reduzir as limitações encontradas no PID linear, através de funções não lineares em seus termos. O último e mais complexo se trata do controle por modos deslizantes (SMC). Também com estrutura não linear, o SMC possui como característica intrínseca a robustez a variações da planta. Ao final, são realizadas simulações e os controladores avaliados são implementados de maneira digital em um hardware de controle e aplicados em uma planta piloto de levitação eletromagnética. Os resultados de desempenho obtidos permitem avaliar qual topologia de controlador melhor se enquadra diante dessa aplicação. / Electromagnetic levitation systems are of interest when it is necessary the use of technology involving reduction of friction, acting without physical contact, rotating machinery and high speed trains. Due to the nonlinear dynamics, researchers have paid attention to the development of more sophisticated controllers, in order to improve the performance of these systems. Linear controllers have limitations in the operating range of the controlled variable and generally have low robustness when applied to linear systems. The objective of this work is to develop nonlinear controllers with different structures and analyze them, when applied to a prototype of the physical system. Initially the system is modeled mathematically through the phenomenological approach. Then the model parameters are identified by experimentally obtained data. Knowing the dynamic of the system through the model, three different controllers are designed using computer simulations. The first is the classic PID, a linear control widely used in industrial processes. The second controller is a PID with nonlinear topology, called NPID. This controller is intended to reduce the limitations found in the linear PID through non linear functions on its terms. The last and most complex is the sliding mode control (SMC). Also a nonlinear structure, the SMC has the intrinsic characteristic of robustness to variations of the plant. In the end, the simulations are performed and the evaluated controllers are implemented in digital form in a hardware control and applied in a pilot plant of an electromagnetic levitation system. With the performance results it is possible to verify which controller topology best fits this application.

Les pathologies vasculaires provoquent un remodelage de la paroi artérielle pouvant entraîner une modification de sa rigidité et de son comportement mécanique. L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer des méthodes de caractérisation mécanique permettant d’identifier les changements de propriétés mécaniques artérielles dans le cadre de deux situations pathologiques : l’anévrysme de l’aorte abdominale (AAA) et l’hypertension artérielle (HTA). La première étude a consisté à évaluer in vitro les modifications de fonctionnalité de l’artère dans le cas d’un AAA obtenu par le modèle de xénogreffe chez le rat qui permet de reproduire certains aspects de la pathologie humaine et qui est utilisé pour la mise au point de thérapies cellulaires. Une analyse des variations régionales des propriétés mécaniques du tissu anévrysmal a d’abord été menée en effectuant des tests de traction sur anneaux d’AAA. Des tests d’extension-inflation ont ensuite été réalisés sur la structure vasculaire pour des conditions de chargement reproduisant celles observées in vivo. Dans chacun des cas, une méthode inverse couplée à un modèle numérique par éléments finis a été développée afin d’identifier les paramètres matériaux du tissu vasculaire. Dans la deuxième étude, la rigidité artérielle a été mesurée in vivo sur une population de patients atteints d’HTA et de sujets sains en utilisant deux méthodes non-invasives qui ont été développées et optimisées : l’imagerie ultrarapide de l’onde de pouls et l’élastographie par ondes de cisaillement de la paroi artérielle. Ces deux méthodes s’appuient sur un échographe ultrarapide. La vitesse de l’onde de pouls locale sur un segment de la carotide a ainsi pu être évaluée, ainsi que la vitesse de propagation d’ondes de cisaillement générées dans la paroi à plusieurs instants du cycle cardiaque. Les deux approches in vitro et in vivo ont ainsi permis d’évaluer certains changements de propriétés mécaniques de la paroi artérielle dans des cas pathologiques. Bien que tous les mécanismes biologiques de l’AAA et de l’HTA soient complexes, ce travail permet de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des pathologies vasculaires pouvant ainsi aider au choix ou au développement de traitements adaptés, tant d’un point de vue pharmacologique que dans le cadre de nouvelles thérapies cellulaires. / Vascular pathologies are generally accompanied by a remodeling of the arterial wall that may lead to modifications of its stiffness and mechanical behavior. The goal of this thesis is to propose methods of mechanical characterization allowing to detect the changes in arterial mechanical properties in the case of two pathologies: abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and arterial hypertension (HTA). The first study consisted in evaluating in vitro the arterial functional modifications in the case of an AAA obtained by the rat xenograft model which reproduces several biological features of the human pathology and is used to develop cell therapies. First, the assessment of regional variations in mechanical properties of aneurysmal tissue was conducted by carrying out traction tests on rings from AAAs. Then, extension-inflation tests were conducted on the vascular structure for loading conditions replicating those observed in vivo. In each case, an inverse method associated with a numerical finite element model was developed to identify the material parameters of vascular tissue. In the second study, arterial stiffness was measured in vivo for a population of hypertensive patients and healthy subjects using two non-invasive methods which were developed and optimized: ultrafast imaging of the pulse wave and shear wave elastography of the arterial wall. These two methods are based on an ultrafast ultrasound scanner. Thus the local pulse wave velocity on a segment of the carotid artery was assessed, as well as the propagation speed of shear waves created in the arterial wall at several moments during the cardiac cycle. Both in vitro and in vivo approaches enabled to evaluate some changes in mechanical properties of the arterial wall in pathological cases. Although all the biological mechanisms of AAA and HTA are complex, this work provides a contribution to a better understanding of vascular pathologies and can thereby assist in the choice or development of adapted treatments, from both a pharmacological point of view, and within the context of new cell therapies.

Ce travail concerne l'identification, l'estimation et la commande sans capteur mécanique de MSAP. Dans un premier temps, la modélisation du MSAP est réalisée dans le repère fixe a-b. Ce modèle est ensuite réécrit dans le repère d-q, couramment utilisé pour les machines tournantes et un nouveau repère f-g, avantageux dans le cadre d'applications sans capteur. Afin de valider le modèle expérimentalement, une identification par moindres carrés hors ligne avec capteurs, a été réalisée. Une approche similaire a été appliquée au moteur en enlevant la dépendance des capteurs mécaniques dans le repère f-g. Sachant que les lois de commande sans capteur dépendent fortement des paramètres, il a été est important de tous les identifier sans la présence de capteurs mécaniques. La synthèse de la commande a été réalisée à l’aide des modes glissants d'ordre deux et garantit la stabilité malgré des perturbations interne ou externe. Un observateur permettant d'estimer l'accélération, nécessaire pour calculer la variable de glissement, a été réalisé. Les expérimentations ont donné de très bons résultats. Basée sur les tensions et les courants, la réalisation d’observateurs par mode glissant, permet de supprimer les capteurs mécaniques. Les estimations de la position et de la vitesse sont alors utilisables dans la commande. Bien que la vitesse atteinte sans capteur soit inférieure à la vitesse atteinte avec capteurs, le suivi de trajectoire a une bonne précision.Finalement, des algorithmes d'identification des paramètres en ligne avec capteurs ont été développés. L'identification à l'aide de la méthode algébrique comparée à celle effectuée par modes glissants / This work deals with sensorless identification, estimation and control for PMSM.In a first phase, the PMSM modelling is realized in the fix a-b frame. This model is then rewritten in the d-q frame, commonly used for rotating machine and a new frame called f-g, advantageous in sensorless applications. It presents similar properties than the d-q frame, without the use of mechanical sensor. In order to experimentally validate the model, an identification using off-line least squares algorithm in the presence of sensors, is performed. This approach provides a set of nominal parameters. A similar procedure is applied to the motor without mechanical sensors in the f-g frame. Since the sensorless control laws are highly dependent on the parameters, it is important to be able to identify the parameters without mechanical sensor. The control design is realized based on second order sliding mode, it ensures the stability despite parametric uncertainties or external perturbations. A sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the acceleration, necessary to compute the sliding variable. Based on voltages and currents, the design of observers allows removing the mechanical sensors. The position and velocity estimation are then used for the control. The experimental results are very promising. Although the reached velocity is lower than the velocity reached using sensors, the trajectory tracking provides a good accuracy of the trajectory tracking. Finally, on-line parameters identification algorithms have been developed. The identification using algebraic method compared to the one realized with sliding modes

Second part describes control algorithms of sensor and sensorless motor control realised on device dSPACE and also realisation of faulty sensor control algorithm. Third part deals with derivation of mathematical model, its realisation using Matlab Simulink software and identification of its parameters. Last part concludes results and compares control methods used on the real system.

In this paper we deal with aspects of characterizing the ill-posedn ess of nonlinear inverse problems based on the discussion of specific examples. In particular, a parameter identification problem to a second order differential equation and its ill-posed linear components are under consideration. A new approach to the classification ofill-posedness degrees for multiplication operators completes the paper.

Using the dual Black-Scholes partial differential equation, Dupire derived an explicit formula, involving the ratio of partial derivatives of the evolving fair value of a European call option (ECO), for recovering information about its variable volatility. Because the prices, as a function of maturity and strike, are only available as discrete noisy observations, the evaluation of Dupire’s formula reduces to being an ill-posed numerical differentiation problem, complicated by the need to take the ratio of derivatives. In order to illustrate the nature of ill-posedness, a simple finite difference scheme is first used to approximate the partial derivatives. A new method is then proposed which reformulates the determination of the volatility, from the partial differential equation defining the fair value of the ECO, as a parameter identification activity. By using the weak formulation of this equation, the problem is localized to a subregion on which the volatility surface can be approximated by a constant or a constant multiplied by some known shape function which models the local shape of the volatility function. The essential regularization is achieved through the localization, the choice of the analytic weight function, and the application of integration-by-parts to the weak formulation to transfer the differentiation of the discrete data to the differentiation of the analytic weight function.

The battery is a component with significant impact on both the cost and environmental footprint of a full electric vehicle (EV). Consequently, there is a strong motivation to maximize its degree of utilization. Usage limits are enforced by the battery management system (BMS) to ensure safe operation and limit battery degradation. The limits tend to be conservative to account for uncertainty in battery state estimation as well as changes in the battery's characteristics due to aging. To improve the utilization degree, aging sensitive battery control is necessary. This refers to control that a) adjusts during the battery's life based on its state and b) balances the trade-off between utilization and degradation according to requirements from the specific application.  In state-of-the-art battery installations, only three signals are measured; current, voltage and temperature. However, the battery's behaviour is governed by other states that must be estimated such as its state-of-charge (SOC) or local concentrations and potentials. The BMS therefore relies on models to estimate states and to perform control actions. In order to realize points a) and b), the models that are used for state estimation and control must be updated onboard. An updated model can also serve the purpose of diagnosing the battery, since it reflects the changing properties of an aging battery. This thesis investigates identification of physics-based and empirical battery models from operational EV data. The work is divided into three main studies. 1) A global sensitivity analysis was performed on the parameters of a high-order physics-based model. Measured current profiles from real EV:s were used as input and the parameters' impact on both modelled cell voltage and other internal states was assessed. The study revealed that in order to excite all model parameters, an input with high current rates, large SOC span and longer charge or discharge periods was required. This was only present in the data set from an electric truck with few battery packs. Data sets from vehicles with more packs (electric bus) and limited SOC operating window (plug-in hybrid truck) excited fewer model parameters. 2) Empirical linear-parameter-varying (LPV) dynamic models were identified on driving data. Model parameters were formulated as functions of the measured temperature, current magnitude and estimated open circuit voltage (OCV). To handle the time-scale differences in battery voltage response, continuous-time system identification was employed. We concluded that the proposed models had superior predictive abilities compared to discrete and time-invariant counterparts.  3) Instead of using driving data to parametrize models, we also investigated the possibility to design the charging current in order to increase its information content about model parameters. This was formulated as an optimal control problem with charging speed and information content as objectives. To also take battery degradation into account, constraints on polarization was included. The results showed that parameter information can be increased without significant increase in charge time nor aging related stress. / Elekriska fordon utgör en allt större andel av världens fordonsflotta. Batteriet är en komponent med betydande påverkan både på fordonets kostnadoch dess miljö- och klimatpåverkan. Det är därför viktigt att försöka maximera batteriets utnytjandegrad. Användargränser upprätthålls av batterietsstyrsystem, såkallad BMS, för att garantera säker drift samt för att begränsabatteriets åldrande. Användargränserna tenderar att vara konservativa för attta höjd för osäkerhet i tillståndsestimeringen samt batteriets förändrade egenskaper under dess livstid. För att utöka utnyttjandegraden är ålderskänsligstyrning nödvändig. Med detta avses styrning som a) justeras under batterietslivstid och b) balancerar utnyttjande och prestanda på ett sätt som passar enspecifik applikation. Ombord på fordon mäts typiskt tre signaler; ström, spänning och temperatur. Batteriets beteende bestäms dock av andra tillstånd som måste estimeras, såsom dess laddnivåeller lokala koncentrationer och potentialer. BMS:enförlitar sig därför på modeller för att estimera interna tillstånd och utföra styrning. För att uppfylla punkterna a) och b) måste modellerna som användsuppdateras ombord i takt med att batteriet åldras. En uppdaterad modellkan också fungera som ett diagnostiskt verktyg eftersom det speglar batteriets förändrade egenskaper. Den här avhandlingen undersöker identifieringav fysikbaserade och empiriska modeller från kördata. Arbetet delas in i treseparata studier. 1) En global känslighetsanalys utfördes på parametrarna i en fysikbaseradmodell av hög ordning. Som inputsignal användes uppmätt ström från riktigaelfordon i drift. Parametrarnas effekt på både cellspänning och interna batteritillstånd analyserades. Studien visade att alla modellparametrar exciteradesav strömmen från ett helelektriskt fordon. Anledningen var att batteriernaanvändes inom ett brett SOC spann samt att den dragna strömmen var stor.I fordon med snävare SOC span och lägre strömmar var inte alla parametrarkänsliga. 2) Dynamiska parametervarierande modeller formulerades och identifierades från kördata. Den uppmätta temperaturen, samt strömmens storlekoch den estimerade tomgångsspänningen (OCV) användes till parameterberoenden. För att hantera skillnader i tidsskala mellan spänningssvarets olikakomponenter användes systemidentifiering i kontinuerlig tid. Vi kunde draslutsatsen att de föreslagna modellerna var överlägsna motsvarande diskretaoch konstanta modeller. 3) Istället för att använda kördata för att parametrisera modeller undersökte vi också möjligheten att designa laddförloppet för att öka dess informationsinnheåll. Detta formulerades som ett optimeringsproblem med laddtidoch informationsinnehåll i kostnadsfunktionen. För att även ta batteriets åldrande i beaktning, ansattses bivillkor på polariseringsspänningen. / <p>QC 20220516</p>
