This D.Sc. thesis proposes new perspectives for modeling drill string torsional dynamics under uncertainties. This work develops a novel stochastic hysteretic (nonreversible) bit-rock interaction model. Firstly, a new nominal interaction model, which depends not only on the bit speed, but also on the bit acceleration is developed. Then, a new stochastic model for the bit-rock interaction, taking into account the inherent fluctuations during the drilling, is also proposed. Furthermore, here a new test-rig is proposed to analyze drill string dynamics and bit-rock interaction, which is able to reproduce stick-slip phenomena while drilling a rock sample using standard masonry bits, as well as to validate bit-rock interaction models. An original strategy for modeling uncertainties globally, based on terms of the nonparametric probabilistic approach, considering a simple torsional model for a drill string, is also proposed herein. This strategy allows to control the dispersion level of each interior and interface DOFs of each drill string substructure independently, which can provide more information to improve the operational safety. / This D.Sc. thesis proposes new perspectives for modeling drill string torsional dynamics under uncertainties.

Regarding the flexible structures and vibration area, this paper aims to develop, implement and validate an analytical and experimental model of cantilevered beam in order to analyze the natural frequencies and vibration modes through a prototype assembled in lab. The analytical model was obtained using the theory of Euler-Bernoulli beams and Lagrange formalism. To decouple the system associated variables was applied the assumed method. The analytical model implementation and simulation were developed using the MATLAB software. The data acquisition process was developed by LABVIEW software. Complementary tests regarding shaker and servo motors were performed and showed in order to aggregate for the experimental procedure. The experimental and analytical results of this paper present good approximation between them allowing the analytical model of cantilevered beam characterization. / Esta dissertação tem como proposta desenvolver, implementar e validar o modelo matemático e experimental de uma viga flexível simplesmente engastada, permitindo analisar as frequências naturais e modos de vibração, através de um protótipo montado em laboratório.

A procedure is presented for using a primary resonance excitation in experimentally identifying the nonlinear parameters of a model approximating the response of a cantilevered beam by a single mode. The model accounts for cubic inertia and stiffness nonlinearities and quadratic damping. The method of multiple scales is used to determine the frequency-response function for the system. Experimental frequency- and amplitude-sweep data are compared with the prediction of the frequency-response function in a least-squares curve-fitting algorithm. The algorithm is improved by making use of experimentally known information about the location of the bifurcation points. The method is validated by using the parameters extracted to predict the force-response curves at other nearby frequencies. We then compare this technique with two other techniques that have been presented in the literature. In addition to the amplitude- and frequency-sweep technique presented, we apply a second frequency-domain technique and a time-domain technique to the second mode of a cantilevered beam. We apply the restoring-force surface method assuming no a priori knowledge of the system and use the shape of the surface to guide us in assuming a form for the equation of motion. This equation is used in applying the frequency-domain techniques: a backbone curve-fitting technique based on the describing-function method and the amplitude- and frequency-sweep technique based on the method of multiple scales. We derive the equation of motion from a Lagrangian and discover that the form assumed based on the restoring-force surface is incorrect. All of the methods are reapplied with the new form for the equation of motion. Differences in the parameter estimates are discussed. We conclude by discussing the limitations encountered for each technique. These include the inability to separate the nonlinear curvature and inertia effects and problems in estimating the coefficients of small terms with the time-domain technique. / Master of Science

En raison de leurs grandes longueurs d'onde, les vibrations mécaniques en basses fréquences ne peuvent être facilement réduites dans les structures par l'utilisation de matériaux dissipatifs. Malgré ces difficultés, l'atténuation des vibrations en basses fréquences reste un enjeu important. Pour résoudre ce problème, différents axes de recherche ont été étudiés et ont été mis en application pour stocker et dissiper l'énergie vibratoire comme l'utilisation d'oscillateurs linéaires, composés d'une masse, d'un ressort et d'un amortisseur. Leur fréquence de résonance doit coïncider avec la fréquence de résonance de la structure que l'on veut atténuer. L'utilisation d'absorbeurs se comportant comme des oscillateurs ayant un comportement non linéaire est une alternative intéressante. En effet, grâce à un étalement fréquentiel de la réponse de l'oscillateur, celui-ci permet d'atténuer les vibrations de la structure sur une plus large bande de fréquence que ceux ayant un comportement linéaire, sans avoir de dédoublement de la résonance de la réponse en deux pics. Les travaux présentés ici se placent dans le cadre de la réduction vibratoire, à l'échelle macroscopique, en basses fréquences, pour lesquelles les premiers modes structuraux sont excités. Un absorbeur non linéaire a été conçu, réalisé et analysé expérimentalement, modélisé et identifié expérimentalement pour mettre en évidence le phénomène d'élargissement de la bande de fréquence de la réponse. Les effets de cet absorbeur sur le comportement dynamique d'une poutre console ont ensuite été numériquement étudiés, à partir d'un modèle de poutre couplée à des absorbeurs non linéaires. Un modèle réduit et son solveur stochastique ont été développés dans ce cadre. Les résultats ont exposé le fait que l'absorbeur non linéaire permet une atténuation de la réponse de la poutre, sans le dédoublement de la résonance / Due to their long wavelengths, mechanical vibrations at low frequencies cannot easily be reduced in structures by using dissipative materials. Despite these difficulties, the attenuation of vibration at low frequencies remains an important concern. To solve this problem, several ways of research have been explored and have been applied to vibration energy pumping such as linear oscillators, composed of a mass, a spring, and a damper. Their resonance frequency must coincide with the resonant frequency of the structure that has to be attenuated. The absorbers that are oscillators with a nonlinear behavior constitute an interesting alternative. The response of the nonlinear oscillator allows for obtaining an attenuation of vibration over a broader frequency band than the response of linear oscillator, without splitting the resonance that has to be attenuated into two resonances. The work presented here is in the frame of the vibratory reduction, on a macro-scale, at low frequencies, for which the first structural modes are excited. A nonlinear absorber has been designed, experimentally realized and analyzed, modeled and experimentally identified to highlight the phenomenon of broadening the frequency band of the response. The effects of this absorber on the dynamic behavior of a cantilever beam have been numerically studied, using a model of the beam coupled to nonlinear absorbers. A reduced-model and its stochastic solver have also been developed. The results obtained show that the nonlinear absorber allows for obtaining an attenuation on the beam response, without splitting of the resonance that has to be attenuated

The goal of this thesis was to create a mathematical model of a steam turbine based on the data acquired by measurement, and to verify its behaviour. The first part contains research, which is supposed to introduce basic principles of the steam turbine and description of important construction parts and the possibilities of control. The second part describes the experimental identification method of least squares, used for the calculation of an ARX model of the steam turbine. Finally, the last part focuses on the program environment used for creation of the mathematical model and explanation of measured data analysis process. Furthermore this segment describes the created simulation program as well as a visualisation of the dynamic processes in the steam turbine, including the design of control.
