Dans le procédé d'élaboration d'un transistor, la définition des motifs de grilles est une des étapes les plus dures à contrôler. Avec la miniaturisation des dispositifs, les spécifications définies pour la structuration des transistors se sont resserrées jusqu'à l'échelle du nanomètre. Ainsi, le Contrôle Dimensionnel(CD) et la rugosité de bord des lignes (LWR) sont devenus les paramètres les plus importantes à contrôler. Précédemment, pour atteindre les objectifs définis pour les précédentes technologies CMOS, des traitements post-lithographiques tels que les traitements plasma à base d’HBr ont été introduits pour améliorer la résistance des résines aux plasmas de gravure et minimiser la rugosité des motifs de résine avant leur transfert dans l’empilement de grille. Cependant, ces méthodes conventionnelles ne sont plus satisfaisantes pour atteindre les spécifications des nœuds avancés 14FDSOI, qui font intervenir des schémas complexes d’intégration de motifs. Dans ces travaux, les limitations des traitements plasma HBr pour réaliser des motifs de grille bidimensionnels comme définis par les règles de dessin ont été mises en évidence. . En effet, il s’avère que les traitements par plasma HBr sont responsables d'un déplacement local du motif de grille, qui entraine sur le produit final une perte de rendement. Des résultats préliminaires montrent que le retrait de cette étape de traitement améliore le phénomène de décalage des grilles, au détriment de la rugosité des motifs de résines. En effet, les résines non traités par plasma subissent d’importantes contraintes lors de l’ étape de gravure SiARC en plasma fluorocarbonnés, ce qui génère une nette augmentation de la rugosité de la résine qui se transfère par la suite dans les couches actives du dispositif. Dans cette thèse, j’ai étudié les mécanismes de dégradation des résines dans des plasmas fluorocarbonés. Cette compréhension a abouti au développement d’une nouvelle chimie de gravure plasma de la couche de SiARC qui limite la dégradation des résines. De plus, j’ai évalué comment le procédé complet de gravure de grille métallique peut être amélioré pour éliminer la rugosité et la déformation des motifs en travaillant sur chacune des étapes impliquées. Le but de cette étude est d’identifier les étapes de gravure ayant un rôle dans la rugosité finale de la grille. Mes travaux montrent que l'ajout des étapes de nitruration limite la dégradation du profil de grille et de la rugosité des flancs. Au contraire, la microstructure du film de TiN ainsi que les procédés de gravure de grille métal n'ont pas d'impact sur la rugosité finale du dispositif. Le transfert du motif de grille lors des étapes de gravure du masque dur reste toujours le principal contributeur de la rugosité finale de grille. / In a transistor manufacturing process, patterning is one of the hardest stages to control. Along with downscaling, the specifications for a transistor manufacturing have tightened up to the nanometer scale. Extreme metrology and process control are required and Critical Dimension Uniformity (CDU) and Line Width Roughness (LWR) have become two of the most important parameters to control.So far, to meet the requirements of the latest CMOS technologies, post-lithography treatments such as plasma cure treatments have been introduced to increase photo-resist stability and to improve LWR prior to pattern transfer. However, conventional post-lithography treatments are no more efficient to address the specifications of14nm gate patterning where more complicated designs are involved.In this work, we have studied limitations of cure pretreatments in 2D gate integrations. In fact, the HBr plasma post-lithography treatment was identified as being responsible of a local pattern shifting that result in a loss of the device’s electrical performance. Preliminary results show that, cure step removal helps to control pattern shifting but to the detriment of the LWR. Indeed, if no cure treatment is introduced in the gate patterning process flow, photoresist patterns undergo severe stress during the subsequent Si-ARC plasma etching in fluorocarbon based plasmas. In this work, the mechanisms that drive such resist degradation in fluorocarbon plasmas have been studied and improved SiARC etch process condition shave been proposed. Besides, we evaluate how the state-of-art gate etch process can be improved, by investigating the impact of each plasma etching step involved in the high-K metal gate patterning on both LWR and gate shifting. The goal of this study is to determine if the TiN metal gate roughness can be modified by changing the gate etch process conditions. Our research reveals that addition of N2 flash steps prevents from gate profile degradation and sidewall roughening. In revenge, the TiN microstructure as well as the HKMG etch process has no impact on the gate final roughness. The hard mask patterning process remains the main contributor for gate roughening.

Orientador: Eduardo Carlos Bianchi / Banca: Rosemar Batista da Silva / Banca: Gilmar Ferreira Batalha / Resumo: Este trabalho teve o propósito de contribuir com informações sobre a aplicação de fluidos de corte na operação de retificação plana de aço, em especial do ano ABNT 4340 temperado e revenido. Desta forma testados e comparados três métodos de lubri-refrigeração, os quais são: MQL (Mínima Quantidade de Lubrificante), convencional e otimizado. Os testes foram realizados em retificadora plana universal, utilizando um rebolo de cBN Vitrificado. Os fluidos de corte utilizados para os testes foram: emulsão com diluição a 5% para os métodos convencinal e Otimizado, enquanto que para MQL utilizou-se fluido sintético. A fim de obter uma análise comparativa dos desempenhos entre os três métodos, o parâmetro profundidade de corte foi variado em três valores (0,02mm;0,05mm e 0,08mm). Os outros parâmetros de corte, os quais foram mantidos constantes. Como variáveis de saída foram analisadas: força tangencial de corte, rugosidade, desgaste diametral do rebolo, relação G, dureza por microindentação, tensão residual superficial da pela e imagens obtidas no Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura foram também obtidas para analisar a superfície das peças usinadas. Os resultados indicaram que a técnica MQL, permite obter menor desgaste diametral do rebolo, no entanto há prejuízos quanto ao acabamento superficial (rugosidade) em profundidades de corte até 0,05mm, acima deste valor o método MQL mostrou-se incapaz de realizar a lubrirefrigeração de forma eficaz. Já o método otimizado permitiu obter os melhores resultados de rugosidade, menor desgaste diametral do rebolo e induziu menor tensão residual superficial, mas em profundidade de corte de 0,02mm apresentou os maiores valores de força de corte tangencial comparados aos outros métodos. Por fim, o método convencional apresentou resultados medianos em quase todas as variáveis de saída analisadas / Abstract: This work aims to investigate the comparative efficiency of three different colling and lubrificatins system e applied to surface grinding operation. Systems compared are MQL (Minimal Quantify Lubrification), conventional and conventional optimized. Grinding tests were performed on universal grinding machine using a vitrified cBN grinding wheel for grinding, steel samples of ABNT4340 (grade SAE4340) hardened and tempered to 55HRc. The cutting fluid used for testing was soluble oil at 5% for methods and conventional and conventional optimized and synthetic fluid for MQL technique tested. In order to obtain a comparative analysis of performance among the three methods, the depth of cut parameter was varied in three values (0,02mm, 0,05 mm, 0,08mm), the other cutting parameters were kept constant. Which one output variables investigated were: tangential cutting force, surface roughness, wheel diametrical wear, G ratio, workpiece microhardness and surface residual stress. Images obtained by scanning electron microscopy of the ground surface were used to analyze machined surfaces. The results indicated that the MQL technique allowed to prolong tool life of wheel, however there is damage on the surface finish of machined surfaces (roughness) at depths of cut up values to 0.05 mm. Above this value the MQL method proved did not provide efficiente lubrification and cooling functions. Conventional optimized method showed the best results of roughness, residual stress and least wear of wheel, bur in depth of cut 0.02 mm gave the highest values of tangential cutting force compared to other methods under conditions investigated. Finally, the conventional coolant method presented relatively satisfatory results for most output variables analyzed / Mestre

[pt] A resistência ao cisalhamento de descontinuidades é fortemente influenciada pela rugosidade e pela tensão normal aplicada, além de outras propriedades das descontinuidades. A sua avaliação é de vital importância nos projetos de escavações subterrâneas, estabilidade de taludes, túneis, fundações e outros tipos de obras da engenharia em rochas. O propósito principal deste trabalho foi o desenvolvimento de um equipamento de cisalhamento direto convencional que permite avaliar a resistência ao cisalhamento em descontinuidades de rochas sem preenchimento, em escala de laboratório. A força normal e a força cisalhante foram aplicadas através de atuadores hidráulicos servo controlados. Encontram-se acoplados nos atuadores os dispositivos para medir cargas e deslocamentos verticais e horizontais. O controlador de aquisição de dados converte os sinais mecânicos e elétricos em dados digitais. Os dados foram registrados nos intervalos desejados num computador. Foram feitos ensaios de cisalhamento em juntas artificiais e naturais de dois tipos de gnaisse, o Microclina Gnaisse e o Plagioclásio biotita hornblenda gnaisse. Os resultados obtidos apresentaram uma variação no padrão da rugosidade, com uma diminuição da dispersão com o aumento da escala das amostras, as juntas naturais apresentaram uma dispersão maior nos resultados do que as juntas artificiais. Os parâmetros de resistência obtidos experimentalmente foram então comparados, com os parâmetros de resistência obtidos através do método empírico de Barton e Choubey (1977) e também com dados encontrados na bibliografia. Os resultados mostram-se satisfatórios, validando o equipamento desenvolvido. / [en] The shear strength of discontinuities is strongly influenced by the roughness and the normal stress applied, as well as other properties of the discontinuities. Their assessment is of vital importance in underground excavation projects, slope stability, tunnels, foundations and other types of rock engineering activities. The main purpose of this work was the development of a conventional direct shear equipment to determine the shear strength of unfilled rock discontinuities at laboratory scale. Normal force and shear force were applied with servo controlled hydraulic actuators. The devices for measuring loads and vertical and horizontal displacements are coupled to the actuators. The data acquisition controller converts the mechanical and electrical signals into digital data. The data was recorded at the desired intervals on a computer. Shear tests were performed on artificial and natural joints of two types of gneiss, the Microcline gneiss and the Plagioclase biotite hornblende gneiss, common rocks in the southern region of Rio de Janeiro city. The results showed a variation in the roughness pattern, with a decrease of the dispersion with the increase of the samples size, the natural joints presented a greater dispersion in results than the artificial joints. The resistance parameters obtained experimentally were then compared with the resistance parameters obtained through the empirical method of Barton and Choubey (1977) and also with data found in the literature. The results obtained are satisfactory, validating the developed equipment.

Ce travail vise à mettre en relation les caractéristiques de la zone d’interphase « granulat-pâte de ciment » avec les caractéristiques de porosité, d’absorption d’eau, de dureté et de rugosité de calcaires poreux.La première partie de ce travail a consisté à étudier l’influence de la teneur en eau et de la dureté des granulats sur la résistance mécanique de mortiers. Les résultats montrent que, pour des calcaires poreux et absorbants, les mortiers fabriqués à partir de granulats à l’état sec sont plus résistants que ceux fabriqués à partir de granulats à l’état sursaturé. La deuxième partie de ce travail a consisté à étudier l’adhésion « roche-pâte de ciment ». Il a été constaté que la rugosité et l’état de saturation de la roche affectent significativement les résistances en traction et au cisaillement des composites.La dernière partie est consacrée à l’étude de la microstructure de la zone d'interphase par la technique d’analyse d’images. L’évolution de la porosité moyenne de la zone d'interphase est liée aux propriétés mécaniques des mortiers par la relation de Féret démontrant ainsi que la résistance à la compression dépend principalement de la mésoporosité de l’interphase. Le gradient de porosité est mis en relation avec le gradient de degré d’hydratation et le gradient de rapport E/C. Ces deux derniers sont calculés en appliquant le modèle de Powers. Les résultats obtenus montrent que pour des calcaires poreux et absorbants, la pâte de ciment et la zone d’interphase des mortiers de granulats secs et de granulats sursaturés ne sont pas équivalentes alors qu’initialement on visait le même rapport E/C. / The aim of this study was to relate the characteristics of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) "aggregate-cement paste" to the characteristics of porosity, water absorption, resistance and roughness of porous limestones.The first part of this work was to study the influence of moisture content and resistance of aggregates on the mechanical strength of mortars. The results show that, for porous and absorbent limestones, mortars made from dry aggregates are more resistant than those made from wet aggregates.The second part of this work was to study the ITZ of composites “rock-cement paste”. It was found that the surface roughness and the moisture content of rocks significantly affect the tensile and shear strengths of composites.The last part is devoted to the microstructure of ITZ by image analysis. The evolution of average porosity of ITZ is related to the mechanical properties of mortars by Féret’s law demonstrating that the compressive strength depends mainly on the mesoporosity of ITZ. The porosity gradient is related to the degree of hydration gradient and the W/C ratio gradient. These latter two are calculated by applying Powers’ model. The results show that for porous and absorbent limestones, the cement pastes and the ITZs of dry and wet aggregates mortars are not equivalent although initially we aimed to the same W/C ratio.

The optimal choice of cutting conditions, as well cutting tool, has a significant effect on the quality of machined part and is an essential parameter to reduce the cost of production. This thesis describes CNC turning process of disc springs made of 51CrV4 material, especially using new cutting tools and the use of higher cutting speeds. A comparison of four manufacturers of cutting tools in terms of surface quality, tool path and the machined material volume will be introduced. It was experimentally verified that our proposed facility has achieved the best result.

Les structures composites sont de plus en plus présentes dans le domaine aéronautique. Le perçage, procédé qui permet le montage de fixations pour assembler ces structures, peut induire des défauts tels que délaminages, écaillages, arrachements de fibres ou surchauffes au niveau de l’alésage.Dans la littérature les auteurs s’intéressent principalement aux défauts créés en entrée et en sortie de trou. Aussi, cette recherche s’est focalisée sur les défauts de paroi crées par l’opération de perçage. Une caractérisation qualitative et quantitative a été proposée et le lien entre ces défauts et la tenue mécanique a été évalué.L’état de surface des parois est quantifié via sa rugosité qui mesure globalement les défauts générés lors du perçage. Jusqu’à présent, la qualité de la surface est estimée par un critère de rugosité géométrique Ra issu de la culture métallique. Il présente un certain nombre d’incohérences pour les perçages des composites. Dans ce travail de thèse, les relations entre les paramètres de perçage, le matériau de l’outil, sa géométrie et la qualité des alésages mesurée par les critères normalisés d’état de surface ont été établies. Un critère de qualité des parois de trou pour les matériaux composites autre que les critères normalisés a été proposé.La nature intime de la surface de contact influence clairement la qualité du transfert de charge par contact localisé. Dans un premier temps, l’influence des défauts de paroi sur la tenue en matage quasi-statique a été établie, ensuite, la tenue en compression quasi-statique des stratifiés C/E liée à la présence de défauts de paroi a été étudiée. Une analyse de la tenue en fatigue des stratifiés percés liée à la présence des défauts d’état de surface a aussi été réalisée. Enfin, une analyse numérique originale par éléments finis incluant une représentation géométrique des défauts observés, a permis de mieux cerner la cinétique d’endommagement des stratifiés percés liés à la présence de défauts de paroi / Composite materials are finding an increasing number of applications in the aerospace industry. The drilling is the process that allows the fasteners installation. The drilling operation can induce defects such as delamination, fibers and matrix pull-out and matrix burning.Previous studies focused mainly on the defects created at the hole entry and exit. Only few of these studies concern the hole wall drilling defects. In this study, we focused on the hole wall defects created by the drilling operation. A qualitative and quantitative characterization of defects was proposed and the relationship between these defects and the mechanical strength was evaluated.The hole surface finish is quantified by the roughness criterion Ra, that comes from metallic culture. Because of their heterogeneous nature, composite materials do not present the same defects patterns as metallic materials. The question that arises is whether the roughness may have an influence on the mechanical behavior of composite materials. In this study, the relation between the drilling parameters, the drill material, its geometry and the hole quality quantified with normalized parameters has been established. A criterion used to quantify the hole surface finish of composites have been proposed.The inner nature of the contact surface clearly influences the load transfer quality. As a first step, the influence of the hole wall defects on the quasi-static bearing behavior has been established, then the compressive behavior linked to the presence of hole wall defects have been studied. An analysis of the fatigue behavior of drilled laminates due to the presence of hole wall defects have been conducted.Finally, a numerical analysis by finite elements including an original geometric representation of the defects observed, has allowed to further clarify the damage kinetics of drilled laminates linked to the presence of drilling defects.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O clareamento dental se tornou um dos tratamentos estéticos mais realizados nos consultórios odontológicos, devido à simplicidade técnica e popularização através da mídia. Consiste na utilização de géis à base de peróxido de carbamida, peróxido de hidrogénio e, em uma menor escala, de perborato de sódio, com intuito de oxidar moléculas responsáveis pela pigmentação da estrutura dentária. Apesar da grande quantidade de estudos sobre o tema, não se sabe os efeitos do uso excessivo desses agentes sobre a estrutura dentária. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos sobre a rugosidade superficial e conteúdo mineral do esmalte dental humano submetido a regimes de sobreclareamento associados ao uso de géis clareadores caseiros: peróxido de carbamida 10% (Opalescence PF Regular 10%, Ultradent do Brasil Produtos Odontológicos Ltda., Indaiatuba, São Paulo), peróxido de hidrogênio 9,5% (DayWhite 9,5%, Discus, LLC Culver City, EUA), bem como tiras clareadoras (Oral-B WhiteStrips, Anderson Packaging, Rockford, Estados Unidos). Quatro fragmentos de esmalte obtidos a partir de cinco dentes foram submetidos a um diferente tratamento: Grupo I - armazenamento em saliva artificial por oito semanas; Grupo 2 oito semanas de tratamento com gel de peróxido de carbamida 10% por 6 horas diárias; Grupo 3 oito semanas de tratamento com gel de peróxido de hidrogênio 9,5% com duas aplicações diárias de 30 minutos; Grupo 4 oito semanas de tratamento com tiras clareadoras duas aplicações diárias de 30 minutos. A alteração no conteúdo mineral foi avaliada semanalmente em seis pontos de cada fragmento devidamente identificados através de um sistema de coordenadas (X, Y e Z) utilizando-se a técnica de fluorescência de raios X (Artax 200). Alterações na rugosidade superficial das amostras também foram avaliadas através de um rugosímetro 3D (FormTalysurf 60, Taylor Leicester, Reino Unido). Apenas o grupo 3 apresentou diferenças estatísticas significativas com relação aos níveis de rugosidade (p<0,05), porém não consideradas como clinicamente significativos. Para os demais tratamentos e intervalos propostos, não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p>0,05). Desse modo, não houve alterações compatíveis com um processo de desmineralização ou aumento real da rugosidade da superfície. Nas condições desse estudo in vitro os géis clareadores caseiros foram considerados seguros. São necessários novos estudos in situ e in vitro que analisem os efeitos de regimes de sobreclareamento quando em condições de somatório de desafios intra-orais. / Tooth bleaching has become one of the most performed cosmetic treatments in dental offices because of the technical simplicity and popularization through media. It is based in the use of gels containing carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium perborate to oxidize molecules responsible for pigmentation of the tooth structure. Despite the large amount of studies of the topic, the effects of overuse of these agents on tooth structure are not established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the surface roughness and mineral content of the enamel submitted to overbleaching protocols associated with the use of home bleaching gels: 10 % carbamide peroxide (Opalescence PF 10 % Regular, Ultradent Dental Products of Brazil Ltd., Indaiatuba, São Paulo), hydrogen peroxide 9.5% (DayWhite 9.5%, Discus, LLC Culver City, EUA), as well as bleaching strips (Oral- B Whitestrips, Anderson Packaging, Rockford, USA). Four enamel fragments obtained from five teeth were subjected to different treatments: Group I - storage in artificial saliva for eight weeks; Group 2 eight-week exposure to 10% carbamide peroxide gel for 6 hours daily; Group 3 eight-week exposure to 9,5% hydrogen peroxide gel - two 30-minute application, Group 4 eight-week exposure to bleaching strips - twice daily for 30 minutes. The change in mineral content was assessed weekly with the analysis of six points in each fragment properly identified by a coordinate system (X, Y and Z) using the technique of X-ray fluorescence (Artax 200). Changes in surface roughness of the samples were also evaluated using a 3D perfilometer (FormTalysurf 60, Taylor Leicester, UK). Only group 3 showed statistically significant differences for roughness (p <0.05), but this is not considered as clinically important. For other proposed treatments and intervals, there were no statistically significant differences for any of the treatments tested in any of the proposed ranges (p > 0,05). There was no sign of demineralization process. Under these in vitro conditions, home bleaching gels were considered safe. Further in situ and in vivo studies are necessary to examine the effects of overbleaching protocols with all other intra-oral challenges.

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma avaliação tridimensional da rugosidade superficial em 3 tipos de pinos de fibra - DT LightPost, FRC Postec Plus e Transluma Post - submetidos a diferentes tratamentos de superfície e avaliar os efeitos dos pré-tratamentos na resistência adesiva a um compósito de presa dual Biscore. Os tratamentos de superfície foram: imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico, jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50m, imersão em peróxido de hidrogênio, jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50m seguido de imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico e jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50m seguido de imersão em peróxido de hidrogênio. No experimento 1, 75 pinos foram divididos em 3 grupos (n = 25), de acordo com seu fabricante e subdivididos em cinco subgrupos. A rugosidade superficial foi medida usando um rugosímetro tridimensional e analisada com o software de análise 3D. Os valores de rugosidade foram obtidos antes e após diferentes tratamentos de superfície na área dos mesmos corpos-de-prova. Para o experimento 2, foram utilizados os mesmos corpos-de-prova, os mesmos grupos e subgrupos do experimento 1, tendo sido adicionado o subgrupo de controle (n=90) e a resistência adesiva a um compósito presa dual Biscore foi mensurada através de um teste push-out. A resistência adesiva foi medida em uma máquina universal de ensaios, com uma célula de carga tipo SLBL-5kN em uma velocidade de 0,5 mm / min. Os resultados do experimento 1 foram analisados através de um teste estatístico t-Student. Jateamento e jateamento seguido de imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico produziram um aumento estatisticamente significante na rugosidade, contudo somente o tratamento por jateamento proporcionou um aumento significativo nos valores de rugosidade. Os resultados do experimento 2 foram obtidos através de um um teste t-unilateral de hipótese com variância desconhecida. Concluiu-se que o jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50&#956;m em uma distância de 30 mm a 2,5 bar de pressão por 5 segundos foi suficiente para modificar a topografia dos pinos de fibra de vidro e quartzo e que o jateamento com partículas de 50 &#956; alumina a distância de 30 mm a 2,5 bar de pressão por 5 segundos foi o único tratamento de superfície que aumentou a resistência adesiva do compósito Biscore aos pinos DT Light Post e Transluma Post. Os pinos FRC Postec Plus não demostraram um aumento estatisticamente significante na resistência adesiva em nenhum grupo. / The aim of this study was to perform a tridimensional surface roughness test evaluation of different surface treatments to 3 types of fiber posts - DT LightPost, FRC Postec Plus e Transluma Post - and evaluate the effects of the different pretreatments on the bond strength of a dual-cure resin core material Biscore. The different surface treatments were: immersion in hydrofluoric acid, sandblasting abrasion with 50 alumina particles, immersion in hydrogen peroxide, sandblasting abrasion with 50 alumina particles followed by immersion in hydrofluoric acid and sandblasting abrasion with 50 alumina particles followed by immersion in hydrogen peroxide. In the first experiment seventy five fiber posts were divided into 3 groups (n = 25), according to their manufacturer and subdivided into 5 subgroups. Surface roughness was measured using a tridimensional surface roughness test and analyzed with 3D analysis software. Surface roughness was obtained before and after the different surface treatments at the same post area. In the second experiment the same samples divided in groups and subgroups were used, but a control group (no treatment) was added (n = 90) and the bond strength to a composite resin core material Biscore was measured using a push-out design. The interfacial push-out bond strength was measured in a universal testing machine, with a load cell type SLBL-5kN at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Results in experiment 1 were statistically analyzed using Students t-Test. Sandblasting and sandblasting followed by immersion in hydrofluoric acid produced a significant increase in roughness, but the sandblasting treatment was able to provide a significant roughness increase. Results in experiment 2 were statistically analysed using one-sided t-Test of Hypothesis with unknown variance. It was concluded that sandblasting airborne-particle abrasion with alumina 50 at a distance of 30 mm at 2.5 bars pressure for 5 seconds was sufficient to modify the surface topography of glass and quartz fiber posts and the sandblasting abrasion with 50 alumina particles at a distance of 30 mm at 2.5 bars pressure for 5 seconds was the only surface treatment in DT Light Post and Transluma Post that increased the bond strength to dual cure resin composite cores. FRC Postec Plus post did not shown an increase in bond strength in any group.

Ce mémoire présente des travaux de thèse consacrés à la caractérisation et la modélisation des hétérogénéités spatio-temporelles dans les écoulements granulaires cisaillés entre deux parois rigides. De nombreuses simulations ont permis de révéler le rôle crucial des dimensions de l’écoulement et l’influence des interactions des grains avec les parois (avec leur rugosité) sur le comportement global. Pour des systèmes allant jusqu'à une épaisseur de cent diamètres, des profils de vitesse non homogènes ont été mis en évidence, alors que la contrainte cisaillante est constante dans le volume, mettant en défaut le modèle viscoplastique au sein de l’écoulement. Pour réconcilier ces deux observations, nous avons enrichi le modèle viscoplastique en reliant la viscosité à une variable interne qui porte la perturbation due à la présence des parois. Cette nouvelle formulation de la viscosité permet de rétablir la validité d'une loi de comportement locale prenant en compte simultanément l’épaisseur de l’écoulement, la rugosité des parois et le nombre inertiel.Cette dépendance de la viscosité à une variable interne liée à la connectivité des grains ou à leur agitation à compacité fixée, suggère que, d’une manière générale,les écoulements granulaires doivent être décrits en termes d’au moins trois paramètres en fonction du nombre inertiel : le coefficient de frottement, la compacité et la connectivité. / This PhD work is devoted to the description and modeling of spatiotemporal inhomogeneities in granular flows sheared between two rigid walls. Our extensive simulations reveal the crucial role played by flow dimensions and the interactions of the grains with the walls and their roughness. For granular systems with increasingly larger thickness, non uniform strain profiles are evidenced while the shear stress remains uniform. This observation contradicts the common viscoelastic approach based on inertial number in the bulk of the flow. In order to reconcile these observations, we propose a viscoplastic model by a introducing an internal variable carrying the wall-induced perturbations of the flow. This re-formulation of granular viscosity reaffirms the local rheology by accounting for flow thickness, wall routines and inertialeffects. The well-defined dependence of the viscosity on an internal variable pertaining to grain connectivity or kinematic randomness at constant packing fraction, suggests that granular flows should be described by at least three parameters as a function of the inertial number:friction coefficient, packing fraction and connectivity.

Cette thèse vise à mettre en évidence les limites du contrôle passif en utilisant des éléments de rugosité miniaturisés. La topologie des écoulements induite par la présence d’une rugosité cylindrique et des générateurs de tourbillons miniaturisés a été étudiée pour analyser la dynamique pour des temps court et long. Différentes bifurcations supercritiques ont été examinées au moyen d’une analyse de stabilité globale. La bifurcation souscritique est déclenchée par des mécanismes de croissance transitoire de l'énergie ou par la réceptivité de modes globaux stables. Des structures deforçage optimal 3D sont extraites pour comprendre la distribution spatiale liée à la fréquence de résonance du système. La simulation numérique directe perturbée révèle le rôle central du mode global le moins stable dans les instationnarités non-linéaires observées. Une analyse détaillée des structures tourbillonnaires montre qu’elles sont principalement liées aux mécanismes linéaires sous-jacents. La principale caractéristique globale du mode propre est liée à la présence d’une zone de séparation en aval de la rugosité cylindrique. En utilisant des générateurs de tourbillon miniaturisés, cette zone de séparation est fortement diminuée et aucun mode global isolé est alors présent. La dynamique de l’écoulement se révèle être conduit non seulement par le nombre de Reynolds de rugosité et par son rapport d'aspect géométrique, mais aussi par le rapport entre la hauteur de la rugosité et l’epaisseur de couche limite. / This thesis aims at highlighting the limits of passive control by usingminiaturized roughness elements. The flow topology induced by the presence ofcylindrical roughness and miniaturized vertex generators has been studied to uncover asymptotic and short time dynamics. Supercritical bifurcations has been investigated by means of global stability analysis. Subcritical bifurcation are induced by transient growth of the energy or receptivity of stable global modes. 3D optimal forcing structures are extracted to figure out the spatial distribution linked to the resonant pulsation. Perturbed direct numerical simulation reveals the pivotal role of the less steady global mode in the non-linear unsteadiness. A detailed analysis of the flowstructures is provided and linked to the involved linear mechanisms. Global feature of the eigenmode are linked to the presence of the separation zone behind the cylindrical roughness. By using miniaturized vortex generators the separation zone is suppressed and no isolated global modes are present. The flow dynamics turns out to be driven not only by roughness Reynolds number and geometrical aspect ratio but also by the ratio between the roughness height and the boundary layer thickens.
