Afin de rendre les machines synchrones à aimants permanents plus attractives pour l'aéronautique (actionneurs de commande de vol, systèmes de freinage, train d'atterrissage ...), il peut être intéressant de réduire le nombre de modules d'électronique de puissance utilisés en les mutualisant. De nombreuses études ont été réalisées pour des systèmes composés de plusieurs machines asynchrones et principalement en traction ferroviaire, mais peu concernent les machines synchrones. Après avoir étudié différentes structures envisageables, les travaux développés lors de cette thèse présentent une étude originale d'un système composé de deux machines synchrones à aimants permanents connectées en parallèle sur un onduleur unique mutualisé. Ces machines ont des caractéristiques identiques ou proches et doivent être pilotées à la même vitesse. La structure de commande retenue lors de cette thèse est de type maître-esclave: seule une des deux machines est autopilotée (la machine maître), l'autre (la machine esclave) fonctionnant en boucle ouverte. Afin d'assurer la stabilité d'un tel système, le synchronisme des deux moteurs doit toujours être respecté. Une stratégie de commande, qui choisit quel est le moteur maître, en prenant en compte la variation des paramètres internes et externes du système, est alors instaurée. Dans ces conditions, les évolutions théoriques des différentes variables sont déterminées. Pour valider ces résultats, un processus expérimental est mis en place. Les nombreux résultats obtenus en simulation et expérimentalement permettent alors de confirmer les résultats théoriques: que ce soient les paramètres mécaniques ou électriques qui varient, la stabilité du système est toujours garantie. Le cas supplémentaire où les deux machines déplacent une charge mécanique commune avec une liaison mécanique rigide entre les deux machines, est finalement développé. Une autre stratégie de commande, dont la structure et les résultats sont également présentés dans cette thèse, est alors nécessaire. / To make permanent magnet synchronous machines more attractive for aerospace (flight control actuators, braking systems, landing gear ...), it may be advantageous to reduce the number of power electronic modules used in the pooling. Many studies have been performed for systems composed of several machines and asynchronous traction primarily, but little concern synchronous machines. After considering various possible structures, this Ph.D. thesis presents an original study of a system consisting of two permanent magnet synchronous machines connected in parallel on a single shared inverter. These machines have characteristics identical or similar and must be driven at the same speed. The control structure chosen in this Ph.D. thesis is a master-slave : only one machine, called master machine is self-piloted, the other (the slave machine) operating in open loop. To ensure the stability of such a system, the timing of the two engines should always be respected. A control strategy, which selects which is the master motor, taking into account the variation of internal and external parameters of the system is then introduced. Under these conditions, the theoretical developments of the different variables are determined. To validate these results, an experimental process is established. The numerous results obtained in simulation and experiments are then used to confirm the theoretical results : whatever the mechanical or electrical parameters variation, system stability is always guaranteed. The additional case, when both machines move a mechanical load with a common rigid mechanical connection between two machines, is finally developed. Another required control strategy, the structure and the results are also presented in this Ph.D. thesis.

Sous le Chili central et l’ouest de l'Argentine (29°-35°S), la plaque océanique Nazca, en subduction sous la plaque continentale Amérique du Sud, change radicalement de géométrie : inclinée à 30°, puis horizontale, engendrée par la subduction de la chaine de volcans de Juan Fernandez. Le but de mon étude est d'évaluer, la variation de nature et de propriétés physiques de la lithosphère chevauchante entre ces deux régions afin de mieux comprendre (1) sa structure profonde et (2) les liens entre les déformations observées en surface et en profondeur. Pour répondre à cette thématique, j’utilise une approche originale couplant la sismologie, la thermométrie, et la pétrologie. Je montre ainsi des images 3-D de tomographie sismique les plus complètes de cette région par rapport aux études précédentes, qui intègrent (1) de nombreuses données sismiques provenant de plusieurs catalogues, (2) un réseau de stations sismiques plus dense permettant de mieux imager la zone de subduction. J’apporte la preuve que la plaque en subduction se déshydrate dans deux régions distinctes : (1) le coin mantellique, et (2) le long de la ride subduite avant que celle-ci ne replonge plus profondément dans le manteau. La croûte continentale au-dessus du flat slab possède des propriétés sismiques très hétérogènes en relation avec des structures de déformation profondes et des domaines géologiques spécifiques. La croûte chevauchante d’avant-arc, au-dessus du flat slab, est décrite par des propriétés sismiques inhabituelles, liées à la géométrie particulière du slab en profondeur, et/ou liées aux effets du séisme de 1997 de Punitaqui (Mw 7.1). Mes résultats, confirmant les études antérieures, montrent que : - le bloc Cuyania situé plus à l’est, dans la zone d’arrière-arc est plus mafique et contient une croûte inférieure éclogitisée ; quant à, la croûte continentale inférieure sous l’arc Andin, est épaisse et non-éclogitisée, décrivant surement le bloc felsique de Chilenia. / Beneath central Chile and western Argentina, the oceanic Nazca slab drastically changes geometry from horizontal to dipping at an angle of 30°, and correlates with the subduction of the Juan Fernandez seamount ridge. The aim of our study is to assess, using a thermo-petrological-seismological approach, the differences of the overriding lithosphere between these two regions, in order to better understand the deep structure of the continental lithosphere above the flat slab, and the links between the deformations at the surface and at depth. We show the most complete regional 3-D seismic tomography images of this region, whereby, in comparison to previous studies, we use (1) a much larger seismic dataset compiled from several short-term seismic catalogs, (2) a much denser seismic station network which enables us to resolve better the subduction zone. We show significant seismic differences between the flat and normal subduction zones. As expected, the flat slab region is impacted by colder temperatures, and therefore by faster seismic velocities and more intense seismic activity, compared to the normal slab region. We show evidence that the flat slab dehydrates within the mantle wedge, but also along the subducting ridge prior to re-subducting. The forearc crust above the flat slab is described by unusual seismic properties, correlated to the slab geometry at depth, and/or, to the aftershock effects of the 1997 Mw 7.1 Punitaqui earthquake which occurred two years before the recording of our events. The continental crust above the flat slab has very heterogeneous seismic properties which correlate with important deformation structures and geological terranes at the surface. We confirm previous studies that have shown that the thick lower crust of the present day Andean arc is non-eclogitized and maybe representing the felsic Chilenia terrane, whereas to the east, the Cuyania terrane in the backarc is more mafic and contains an eclogitized lower crust.

Le pli vocal humain possède des propriétés vibratoires exceptionnelles. Il est capable de supporter de grandes déformations, pour différent type de chargement, de manière répétée et réversible. Ces propriétés vibro-mécaniques particulières sont étroitement liées à sa microstructure: une structure multi-couches complexe fortement hétérogène composées de réseaux de fibres protéique. Cependant, il est encore aujourd'hui difficile de décrire précisément l'implication des spécificités microstructurales du pli dans son comportement biomécanique.Afin de préciser ce lien et d'aller vers une meilleure compréhension du comportement du tissu vocal, cette étude se propose d'aborder la problématique sous trois approches complémentaires, mélant caractérisation microstructurale, caractérisation mécanique et modélisation numérique. Dans un premier temps, la microstructure du pli a été étudiée emph{ex vivo} à l'aide d'une technique originale basée sur la tomographie à rayon X. L'usage de tomographie synchrotron par contraste de phase a permis de révéler la structure du tissu à différentes échelles. En particulier, des clichés 3D à forte résolution de la structure fibreuse des couches supérieures et musculaires du tissu ont pu être acquis. Ces clichés ont donné lieu à une analyse 3D quantitative de l'arrangement fibreux, permettant la détermination de descripteur d'orientation et de géométrie 3D des fibres.Dans un second temps, le comportement mécanique du tissu sous différentes conditions de chargement a été étudié. Un protocole a été proposé, afin de caractériser un même échantillon en traction, en compression et en cisaillement. Ces essais ont permis de compléter les connaissances existantes sur la biomécanique de pli, et constitue des données de références importantes pour la construction et la validation de modèle numérique.A partir des données acquises expérimentalement, un modèle micro mécanique a été développé. Ce modèle a la spécificité de prendre en compte l'arrangement 3D du tissu à travers une représentation idéalisée mais pertinente de sa microstructure fibreuse. Les réponses macroscopiques prédites pour différents chargements ont pu être comparées à l'expérience pour validation. A l'échelle microscopique, la cinématique des fibres au cours du chargement a pu être simulée. Les micromécanismes ayant lieu au cours de la déformation du réseau fibreux ont ainsi pu être identifiés, ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives dans la compréhension des propriétés multi-échelles du tissu. / The human vocal fold owns exceptional vibratory properties. It is capable of withstanding large deformations, for different types of loading, in a repeated and reversible manner. These particular vibro-mechanical properties are closely linked to its microstructure: a multi-layer complex structure composed of highly heterogeneous protein fibre networks. However, it is still difficult today to describe precisely the implication of the microstructural specificities of the fold in its biomechanical behaviour.In order to clarify this link and to move towards a better understanding of the behaviour of the vocal tissue, this study proposes to approach the problem under three complementary approaches, combining microstructural characterization, mechanical characterization and numerical modelling. First, the microstructure of the fold was studied emph{ex vivo} using an original technique based on X-ray tomography. The use of synchrotron tomography in phase retrieval mode has revealed the structure of the tissue at different scales. In particular, high-resolution 3D images of the fibrous structure of the upper and muscular layers of the tissue were acquired. These images gave rise to a quantitative 3D analysis of the fibrous arrangement, allowing the determination of descriptors of orientation and 3D geometry of the fibers.In a second step, the mechanical behaviour of the fabric under different loading conditions was studied. A protocol has been proposed to characterize the same sample in tension, compression and shear. These tests have complemented existing knowledge on fold biomechanics, and constitute important reference data for the construction and validation of digital models.Finally, based on the data acquired experimentally, a micro-mechanical model was developed. This model has the specificity to take into account the 3D arrangement of the tissue through an idealized but relevant representation of its fibrous microstructure. The macroscopic responses predicted for different loading conditionds could be compared to the experiment for validation. At the microscopic scale, the kinematics of the fibres during the loading could be simulated. The micromechanisms that occur during the deformation of the fibrous network could thus be identified, opening new perspectives in the understanding of the multi-scale properties of the tissue.

This thesis presents the RF and mechanical design of a metal-to-metal contact RF MEMS switch. Metal-to-metal contact RF MEMS switches are especially preferred in low frequency bands where capacitive switches suffer from isolation due to the limited reactance. Frequency band of operation of the designed switch is from DC to beyond X-band. Measured insertion loss of the structure is less than 0.2 dB, return loss is better than 30 dB, and isolation is better than 20 dB up to 20 GHz. Isolation is greater than 25 dB below 10 GHz. Hence, for wideband applications, this switch offers very low loss and high isolation. Time domain measurement is necessary for the investigation of the dynamic behavior of the devices, determination of the &lsquo / pull in&rsquo / and &lsquo / pull out&rsquo / voltages of the membranes, switching time and power handling of the devices. Also, failure and degradation of the switches can be monitored using the time domain setup. For these purposes a time domain setup is constructed. Moreover, failure mechanisms of the RF MEMS devices are investigated and a power electronic circuitry is constructed for the biasing of RF MEMS switches. Advantage of the biasing circuitry over the direct DC biasing is the multi-shape, high voltage output waveform capability. Lifetimes of the RF MEMS devices are investigated under different bias configurations. Finally, for measurement of complicated RF MEMS structures composed of large number of switches, a bias waveform distribution network is constructed where conventional systems are not adequate because of the high voltage levels. By this way, the necessary instrumentation is completed for controlling a large scale RF MEMS system.

Ce travail de thèse s’inscrit dans la cadre d’un projet ANR inter-Carnot « ReMaPoDe (Reliability Management of Power Devices) ». L’objectif général du projet est de réaliser un dispositif permettant d’évaluer en temps réel l’état de vieillissement d’un assemblage de puissance embarqué par le suivi de son état thermique et mécanique pendant son fonctionnement. L’essentiel du travail présenté dans ce mémoire consiste à mettre en évidence la relation entre le vieillissement mécanique d’un assemblage de puissance et les dérives électriques qui peuvent être observées. En outre, compte tenu des problèmes thermiques liés aux applications embarquées, la caractéristique électrique choisie comme indicateur doit être rendue indépendante des effets de la température. Ainsi, après un état de l’art consacré à la présentation des différents types de vieillissement et aux défaillances rencontrées dans les assemblages de puissance, nous distinguerons différentes caractéristiques électriques qui semblent prometteuses pour effectuer le suivi en temps réel de l’état de vieillissement mécanique d’un assemblage de puissance et ce malgré des variations de température ambiante et le vieillissement de certains matériaux constituant l’assemblage / This work is part of an inter-Carnot ANR project "ReMaPoDe (Reliability Management of Power Devices)." The overall project objective is to provide a device to evaluate the real-time status of ageing of a power assembly by monitoring its thermal and mechanical states during operation. Most of the work presented in this thesis consists in highlighting the relationship between the assembly mechanical ageing and the observed electrical evolution. Moreover, due to the thermal problems related to embedded applications, the electrical characteristic chosen as an indicator must allowed to overcome the effects of temperature. Consequently, following a state of the art dedicated to the presentation of different types of ageing and failures encountered in power assemblies, we will distinguish different electrical characteristics that seem promising to monitor in real time the mechanical ageing state of a power device assembly in spite of ambient temperature variations and the ageing of some materials constituting the assembly

Continental rifting is an important geodynamic process during which the Earth's outer-most rigid shell undergoes continuous stretching resulting in continental break-up and theformation of new oceanic basins. The East African Rift System, which has two continentalsegments comprising largely of the East African Rift (EAR) to the West and the easternmostsegment Madagascar, is the largest narrow rift on Earth. However, the driving mechanismsof continental rifting remain poorly understood due to a lack of numerical infrastructure tosimulate rifting, the lack of knowledge of the underlying mantle dynamics, and poor knowl-edge of mantle rheology. Here, we use state-of-art computational modeling of the upper660 km of the Earth to: 1) provide a better understanding of mantle flow patterns and themantle rheology beneath Madagascar, 2) to elucidate the main driving forces of observedpresent-day∼E-W opening in the EAR, and 3) to investigate the role of multiple plumesor a superplume in driving surface deformation in the EAR. In chapter 1, we simulate EdgeDriven convection (EDC), constrained by a lithospheric thickness model beneath Madagas-car. The mantle flow associated with the EDC is used to calculate induced olivine aggregates'Lattice Preferred Orientation (LPO), known as seismic anisotropy. The predicted LPO isthen used to calculate synthetic seismic anisotropy, which were compared with observationsacross the island. Through a series of comparisons, we found that asthenospheric flow result-ing from undulations in lithospheric thickness variations is the dominant source of the seismicanisotropy, but fossilized structures from an ancient shear zone may play a role in southern Madagascar. Our results suggest that the rheological conditions needed for the formationof seismic anisotropy, dislocation creep, dominates the upper asthenosphere beneath Mada-gascar and likely other continental regions. In chapter 2, we use a 3D numerical model ofthe lithosphere-asthenosphere system to simulate instantaneous lithospheric deformation inthe EAR and surroundings. We test the hypothesis that the∼E-W extension of the EAR isdriven by large scale forces arising from topography and internal density gradients, known aslithospheric buoyancy forces. We calculate surface deformation solely driven by lithosphericbuoyancy forces and compare them with surface velocity observations. The lithosphericbuoyancy forces are implemented by imposing observed topography at the model surfaceand lateral density variations in the crust and mantle down to a compensation depth of 100km. Our results indicate that the large-scale∼E-W extension across East Africa is driven bylithospheric buoyancy forces, but not along-rift surface motions in deforming zones. In chap-ter 3, we test the hypothesis that the anomalous northward rift-parallel deformation observedin the deforming zones of the EAR is driven by viscous coupling between the lithosphereand deep upwelling mantle material, known as a superplume, flowing northward. We testtwo end-member plume models including a multiple plumes model simulated using high res-olution shear wave tomography-derived thermal anomaly and a superplume model (Africansuperplume) simulated by imposing a northward mantle-wind on the multiple plumes model.Our results suggest that the horizontal tractions from northward mantle flow associated withthe African Superplume is needed to explain observations of rift-parallel surface motions indeforming zones from GNSS/GPS data and northward oriented seismic anisotropy beneaththe EAR. Overall, this work yields a better understanding of the geodynamics of Africa. / Doctor of Philosophy / Continental rifting is an important geodynamic process during which the Earth's outer-most rigid shell undergoes continuous stretching resulting in continental break-up and theformation of new oceanic basins.

With continued feature size reduction in microelectronics and with more than a billion transistors on a single integrated circuit (IC), on-chip interconnection has become a challenge in terms of processing-, electrical-, thermal-, and mechanical perspective. Today’s high-performance ICs have on-chip back-end-of-line (BEOL) layers that consist of copper traces and vias interspersed with low-k dielectric materials. These layers have thicknesses in the range of 100 nm near the transistors and 1000 nm away from the transistors close to the solder bumps. In such BEOL layered stacks, cracking and/or delamination is a common failure mode due to the low mechanical and adhesive strength of the dielectric materials as well as due to high thermally-induced stresses. However, there are no available cohesive zone models and parameters to study such interfacial cracks in sub-micron thick microelectronic layers. This work focuses on developing framework based on cohesive zone modeling approach to study interfacial delamination in sub-micron thick layers. Such a framework is then successfully applied to predict microelectronic device reliability. As intentionally creating pre-fabricated cracks in such interfaces is difficult, this work examines a combination of four-point bend and double-cantilever beam tests to create initial cracks and to develop cohesive zone parameters over a range of mode-mixity. Similarly, a combination of four-point bend and end-notch flexure tests is used to cover additional range of mode-mixity. In these tests, silicon wafers obtained from wafer foundry are used for experimental characterization. The developed parameters are then used in actual microelectronic device to predict the onset and propagation of crack, and the results from such predictions are successfully validated with experimental data. In addition, nanoindenter-based shear test technique designed specifically for this study is demonstrated. The new test technique can address different mode mixities compared to the other interfacial fracture characterization tests, is sensitive to capture the change in fracture parameter due to changes in local trace pattern variations around the vicinity of bump and the test mimics the forces experienced by the bump during flip-chip assembly reflow process. Through this experimental and theoretical modeling research, guidelines are also developed for the reliable design of BEOL stacks for current and next-generation microelectronic devices.

La modélisation des massifs rocheux fracturés est un problèmes important dans de nombreux secteurs industriels, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter à l'exploitation pétrolière et gazière. Dans la littérature, les roches fracturées sont reconnues comme des milieux à double porosité et double perméabilité dans lesquels le réseau de fractures fournit la perméabilité primaire et la matrice rocheuse la perméabilité secondaire. L'idée de la dissociation de l'écoulement à l'intérieur du réseau de fractures et de la matrice,la double perméabilité, est toujours contestée pour les réservoirs fracturés. De nombreuses contributions sur cette question ont été présentées dans la littérature et les méthodes utilisées pourraient être classées dans deux approches principales : approches continues et discontinues. Chaque approche a ses avantages et ses limites. Pour surmonter les limites en gardant les avantages de ces deux approches, une approche nommée Embedded Fracture Continumm Approach (EFCA) qui emprunte le concept du modèle continu et intègre également l'effet des fractures explicites est considérée dans cette thèse. L'idée principale de cette approche repose sur le concept de la « cellule fracturée » représentant un milieu poreux qui a ses propres propriétés calculées à partir des propriétés de la matrice poreuse et des fractures qui la traversent. Le code de calcul développé dans le cadre de ce travail est basé sur la bibliothèque source DEAL.II. L'exactitude de l'EFCA a été étudiée à travers de différents tests. Plusieurs applications traitées dans ce travail comme la détermination des propriétés hydro-mécaniques effectives d'un site réel, estimation de la production de puits dans laquelle les fractures sont modélisées explicitement, démontrent la performance de l'EFCA dans la modélisation des roches fracturées ainsi que l'effet de la double porosité et de la double perméabilité aux comportements des réservoirs fracturés. / Fractured rock masses modeling is a challenge issue in many field of industry including but not limited to oiland gas exploitation. In the literature, fractured rock masse are in many cases recognized as double permeability medium in which fracture network provides the primary permeability and rock matrix plays asthe second one. The idea of dissociation of flow inside the fracture network and the matrix, the double permeability, is still challenged for fractured reservoirs. Numerous contributions on this issue have been presented in the past could be cast in two main approaches: continuum media approach and discontinuous approach. Each approach has its advantages and limitations. To overcome the limitation and to take advantage of these two approaches, the Embedded Fractured Continuum Approach (EFCA) which borrows the concept of continuum models and also incorporates the effect of explicit fractures is considered in this thesis. The principal idea of this approach lies on the concept of fracture cell representing a porous medium that has their own properties calculated from the properties of porous matrix and fractures intersecting it.The development in this work was conducted by using the library source code DEAL.II. The accuracy of EFCA was investigated through different verifications. Through some applications: determination of effective hydro-mechanical properties of an actual site, estimation of well production in which necessary fractures are modeled explicitly, we demonstrate the performance of the EFCA in the modeling fracture drock masses as well as the effect of double porosity and double permeability on behaviours of fractured reservoirs.

Ce mémoire de thèse traite la problématique des émissions vibroacoustiques dès les premières phases de conception de machines électriques dans le but de mettre en œuvre des machines robustes, fiables et surtout efficientes répondant aux contraintes dans un large domaine d’applications et spécialement pour le véhicule électrique et hybride. Ce manuscrit ne s’intéresse pas seulement à l’identification et la mise en exergue de la problématique vibroacoustique mais surtout a apporté des solutions et des éléments de réponse à certaines contraintes. La problématique vibroacoustique étant trop vaste et trop complexe, ce travail de thèse se focalise sur les aspects vibroacoustiques d’origine électromagnétiques. Pour ce faire, les méthodes de réduction de bruit sont présentées mais seules les solutions de réduction passive sont évoquées. Ces solutions se basent sur le dimensionnement et la conception par optimisation de machines électriques performantes et moins bruyantes. Cela nous ramène au cœur de ce travail qui est le développement d’outils et de modèles multi-physique réunissant les critères de généricité, rapidité, précision et facilité de couplage. Dans ce cadre, plusieurs modèles électriques, magnétiques, mécaniques, thermiques, et acoustiques sont présentés. Différentes stratégies de couplages et d’approches de modélisation sont investiguées. Des conclusions sont tirées à chaque fois en fonction des besoins pour le cas d’application. / This PhD thesis deals with the issue of vibroacoustic emissions from the first design phases of electrical machines in order to have robust, reliable and above all efficient machines that meet the constraints in a wide range of applications and especially electrical vehicles. This manuscript is not only interested in the identification and highlighting the vibroacoustic problem, but above all to brought solutions and response elements to certain constraints. Knowing that the vibroacoustic problem is too vast and complex, this thesis focuses on vibroacoustic aspects of electromagnetic origin. To do so, the methods of noise reduction are presented but only the passive reduction solutions are used. These solutions are based on the design and optimization of efficient and less noisy electrical machines. This brings us back to the core of this work, which is the development of tools and multi-physics models combining the criteria of genericity, speed, accuracy and simplicity of coupling. In this context, several electric, magnetic, mechanical, thermal and acoustic models are presented. Different coupling strategies and modeling approaches are investigated. Conclusions are drawn each time according to the needs for the application use case.
