Cette thèse traite le développement d'un modèle mathématique d'optimisation acoustique des trajectoires de vol de deux avions commerciaux en approche sous contrainte énergétique, aérodynamique et opérationnelle. C'est un modèle analytique de contrôle optimal non-linéaire et non-convexe régi par un système d'équations différentielles ordinaires issues de la dynamique de vol et des contraintes associées. Notre contribution porte sur la modélisation mathématique des équations, l'optimisation et la programmation algorithmique d'un modèle d'optimisation non-linéaire du bruit de deux avions en approche simultanée. Les points abordés sont le développement mathématique du modèle 3D «exact» de leur dynamique de vol, la modélisation mathématique de la commande optimale de ce système dynamique, l'introduction de la consommation du carburant par les avions comme une équation différentielle avec une fonction consommation spécifique variable en fonction de l'évolution de leur dynamique, la modélisation mathématique instantanée de la fonction objectif représentant le bruit global des deux avions en approche. Sa résolution porte sur la méthode directe de programmation séquentielle quadratique avec régions de confiance sous AMPL et KNITRO. Une méthode indirecte a été appliquée sous le principe de maximum de Pontryagin suivie d’une discrétisation de type Runge-Kutta partition-née symplectique d'ordre 4 afin de démontrer la commutation entre l'approche directe et l'approche indirecte. Les résultats obtenus confirment des trajectoires optimales en descente continue, réduisant le bruit au sol ainsi que la consommation de kérosène de deux avions / This thesis develops an mathematical non-linear optimization model of flight paths of two aircraft in approach minimizing the perceived noise on the ground while energetic constraint is considered. This is an analytical model of non-linear and non-convex optimal control governed by a system of ordinary differential equations resulting from the dynamics of flight and with their associated constraints. Our contribution focuses on the mathematical modeling equations, optimization and algorithmic programming of an acoustic non-linear optimization model of two aircraft simultaneously on approach. The addressed issues are the mathematical development of the «correct» 3D model, their flight dynamics, the mathematical modeling of the optimal control of dynamic system, the consideration of fuel consumption by aircraft as a differential equation with a consumption function specific variable depending on the evolution of their dynamics, the mathematical modeling of the instantaneous objective function representing the overall noise of the two approaching aircraft. Resolution deals with the direct method of sequential quadratic programming with confidence regions while AMPL programming language and KNITRO are considered. An indirect method was applied under the Pontryagin maximum principle, followed by a Runge-Kutta symplectic partitioned discretization to demonstrate the commutation between the direct approach and indirect approach. The expected results confirm optimal trajectories reducing ground noise and fuel consumption of two aircraft

Intresset av att uppföra byggnader i trä har ökat i kombination med att kunskapen inom ämnet har vuxit. KL-T är träskivor som kan formas efter behov, balkar, pelare, bjälklag samt väggar kan samtliga utföras som KL-T element. Ration mellan hållfasthet och vikt är en aspekt som har bidragit till att entreprenörer och konstruktörer ser fördelar med att bygga i just trä. KL-T är en produkt som begränsar träets svagheter i olika fiberriktningar eftersom lamellerna limmas korsvis. Den snabbt ökande användningen av KL-T har lämnat kunskapsluckor inom vissa områden och en av dessa kunskapsluckor är hur robustheten i en byggnad kan ökas för att hantera olyckslaster. Fortskridande ras uppstår när ett lokalt brott skapar ras i omkringliggande bärverk för att sedan fortplanta sig från element till element, vilket leder till kollaps av hela eller en del av byggnaden. För att motverka detta ska en viss nivå av robusthet i byggnaden uppnås. Det finns olika metoder att skapa robusthet i en byggnad, ett av dessa sätt är att sammanbinda bärverk med bjälklag och väggar med dragband enligt bilaga A i SS-EN-1991-1-7. Metoden benämns Indirekt Metod och är frekvent använd i branschen för alla typer av konstruktioner, men för betongkonstruktioner är den betydligt mer välutvecklad med generella metoder för sammanfogning. Hur vertikala och horisontella dragband bör utformas i en KL-T konstruktion är ett område som är i behov av tydliga metoder som uppfyller kapacitetskraven som regelverken ställer. Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelse för det nu gällande regelverket samt ge konkreta exempel på hur dragband kan utföras för att möta de nya kraven som EKS 11 medförde. Syftet är även att visa vad den Indirekta Metoden är och hur kraven uppfylls med hjälp av den. Studien visar kapaciteten för tre olika förbandstyper satta i scenarion där de nyttjas som vertikala samt horisontella dragband, både i och längsmed upplagslinje. Beräkningar visar att de olika förbandstyperna beter sig olika beroende av vilket dragband de sammanfogar med övrigt bärverk sam vilken placering i byggnaden de har. Vidare diskuteras kapacitetskrav och formlers anpassning för KL-T konstruktioner. För att skapa förutsättningar som branschen kan ta till sig behöver reducering av minimikraven för dragbandskapacitet utföras på ett mer tydligt sätt när dimensionering mot olyckslaster ska genomföras med den Indirekta Metoden för konstruktioner med låg egentyngd. / The interest to build in wood has increased in combination with grown knowledge in the subject. CL-T are wooden board that can be shaped in many different form, beams, pillars, wall and floor elements can all be made as CL-T elements. Ration between strength and weight is one aspect that has contributed entrepreneurs and designers to see the benefits of building in wood. CL-T is a product that reduce the weaknesses of the wood in different fiber directions since the slats are glued together crosswise. The rapidly increasing use of CL-T has left knowledge gaps, one of these knowledge gaps is how the robustness of a building can be increased to handle accident loads. Progressive collapse occurs when a local failure creates a collapse in surrounding structural elements and then propagate from element to element, leading to collapse of whole or part of the building. To counteract this a certain level of robustness must be achieved. There are various methods to create robustness in a building, one of these methods are to tie the walls to the floor with tension ties as described in Appendix A of SS-EN-1991-1-7. This method is called indirect method and is frequently used today for all types of structures. But for concrete structures it is considerably more well developed with general methods of how to tie the structure together. How vertical and horizontal ties should be designed in a CL-T construction need distinct methods that meets meet the capacity requirement set by the regulations. The purpose of the thesis is to create and understanding of the current regulations and to provide concrete examples of how tension ties can be carried out to meet the new requirements in EKS 11. It should also show what the indirect method is and how the requirements are met using it. The thesis shows the capacity of three different types and tension ties set in scenarios where they are used as both vertical and horizontal ties. Calculations show that the different types of ties behave differently depending on if they act a vertical or horizontal tie and which location in the building they have. Furthermore, the capacity requirements and the formulas adaption to CL-T designs are discussed. To create conditions that the industry can take on, reduction of the minimum requirements for tie capacity in constructions with a lightweight structural system needs to be made clearer when dimensioning against accidental loads with the indirect method.
