Les alliages d’aluminium constituent environ 80 % des structures d’avions d’affaire Dassault Aviation. Ils sont choisis pour leur bonne tenue mécanique spécifique (rapportée à leur densité) et pour leur coût. Cependant, ils sont spécifiés pour des applications généralement limitées à la plage de températures comprises entre -55 et +85 °C. Qu'en est-il de leur emploi, volontaire ou accidentel, au delà de 85 °C ?L’objectif de cette thèse est de déterminer l’évolution des caractéristiques des alliages d’aluminium courants en fonction des facteurs temps/température/chargement imposés pour un large intervalle de températures (85 à 250 °C) et des durées comparables à celles en service (1 à 10 000 h). Pour cela deux nuances sont étudiées : le 2024 aux états T3 et T8 et le 5086 à l’état H111 et testées à différentes températures, avec ou sans vieillissement artificiel en corrélation avec leur évolution structurale afin d’appréhender les évolutions potentielles d’une pièce de structure aéronautique tout au long de sa vie.La finalité de l’étude est de générer une cartographie complète microstructure/propriétés dans un large domaine de température et pour de courtes et longues durées de vieillissement. Un couplage avec des méthodes de contrôle non destructives sera également établi afin de déceler les pièces surexposées en température et d’accéder à leurs propriétés rémanentes résultantes de l’évolution de leur microstructure. / Aluminum alloys possess low weight and cost and have a high strength which makes them one of the most used materials in aircraft industry. Their operating temperature is included in the range of – 55 to + 85~°C. Nevertheless, the literature data are lacking for aluminum alloys exposed at temperature significantly higher than 85~°C.The aim of this study is to characterize the microstructural and mechanical properties evolution of aluminum alloys as a function of the time, temperature and load after different times of exposure at temperatures above 85 °C.2024 T3 and T8 and 5086 H111 alumnium alloys were artificially aged at different temperatures in the range of 85 to 250~°C for different durations, comparable to service time, varying from 1 to 10~000~h. Then, the mechanical properties were investigated in regard of the microstructural evolutions.Finally, a microstrure/properties map was obtained in a wide range of temperatures and for short and long durations of aging. Non destructive tests were also carried out in order to detect parts exposed in temperature and assess to their remanent properties.

Four sections of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) were constructed at the University of São Paulo campus in order to introduce this kind of pavement structure to Brazil\'s technical transportation community. Sections were designed as 50 m long concrete slab, short in comparison to traditional CRCP, in order to simulate bus stops and terminals - locations of critical interest for public infrastructure. The thesis presented herein concludes this research project initiated in 2010. As the initial goal of this study was the development of coherent, reliable and intuitive design recommendations for the use of CRCP technology in Brazil, a profound understating of its structural and performance peculiarities was needed. For that, the cracking process of the experimental CRCP sections was recorded over a span of seven years. Due to the sections\' short length and lack of anchorage, the experimental \"short\" CRCP presented a cracking behavior quite different than traditional CRCP. There were much less visible cracks than expected. To address this issue, a novel technology in ultrasonic non-destructive testing of concrete structures was applied. Through ultrasonic signal interpretation it was possible to discover several incipient non-visible cracks within the slabs - many of these became apparent on the slab surface in later crack surveys - and to characterize visible and non-visible cracks regarding crack depth. The updated crack map with non-visible cracks showed similarities with traditional CRCP. Additionally, the ultrasonic data analysis provided important information on thickness variation, reinforcement location and concrete condition that were applied in theoretical simulations (finite element software) of the short CRCP. Simulations were attempted considering different slab geometries, firstly with transverse cracks as joints with high load transfer efficiency (LTE) and secondly with a continuous slab without cracks or joints. The latter simulation was more accurate reaching a shift factor between field and simulated stresses in the order of 0.7 to 1.0. Deflection data and LTE analysis from cracks and panels in between cracks further attested the slab continuous behavior, which contradicts current CRCP design models and performance predictors. Furthermore, critical traffic and environmental loading conditions concerning Brazil\'s climate and bus traffic characteristics were investigated and related using a selected fatigue model resulting in design recommendations in a chart format for the short CRCP aimed at long-term projects for over 20 years of operation. The design chart was successfully applied to investigate three failures presented by the experimental short CRCP due to thickness deficiencies pointed out by the ultrasonic testing. / Quatro seções de pavimento de concreto continuamente armado (PCCA) foram construídas no campus da Universidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de introduzir esta estrutura, de reconhecido sucesso internacional, à comunidade técnica de engenharia de transportes brasileira. As seções foram projetadas com uma placa de concreto de 50 m de extensão, curta em comparação ao PCCA tradicional, com a finalidade de simular paradas e terminais de ônibus - locais de grande interesse para a infraestrutura pública. A tese aqui apresentada conclui este projeto de pesquisa iniciado em 2010. Como o objetivo inicial deste estudo foi o desenvolvimento de recomendações de projeto coerentes, confiáveis e intuitivas para a utilização do PCCA no Brasil, foi necessário um profundo entendimento de suas peculiaridades estruturais e de desempenho. Para isso, o processo de fissuração das secções experimentais foi acompanhado durante sete anos. Devido à curta extensão e falta de ancoragem das seções, o PCCA \"curto\" apresentou um padrão de fissuração diferente do PCCA tradicional com muito menos fissuras visíveis na superfície do que o esperado. Para abordar esta questão, uma nova tecnologia ultrassônica para ensaios não destrutivos de estruturas de concreto foi aplicada. Pela interpretação do sinal de ultrassom, foi possível descobrir várias fissuras incipientes (não visíveis) dentro das placas - muitas dessas foram observadas na superfície da placa em levantamentos de fissuras posteriores - e caracterizar fissuras visíveis e não-visíveis quanto à profundidade da fissura. O mapa de fissuração atualizado com fissuras não visíveis mostrou semelhanças com PCCA tradicional. Além disso, a análise dos dados de ultrassom forneceu informações importantes sobre a variação da espessura, localização da armadura longitudinal e condição do concreto, que foram aplicados em simulações teóricas (software de elementos finitos) do PCCA curto. Simulações foram propostas considerando diferentes geometrias, primeiramente com fissuras transversais como juntas com alta eficiência de transferência de carga (LTE) e posteriormente com uma placa contínua, sem fissuras ou juntas. Esta última simulação foi mais precisa alcançando um fator de conversão entre tensões de campo e simuladas na ordem de 0,7 a 1,0. Dados de deflexão e análise de LTE em fissuras e placas entre fissuras atestaram novamente o comportamento contínuo das placas, o que vai em contradição com os modelos atuais de dimensionamento e de previsão de desempenho para o PCCA. Ademais, o tráfego crítico e condições de carga ambiental correspondentes ao clima e tráfego de ônibus típicos brasileiros foram investigados e relacionados usando um modelo de fadiga resultando em recomendações de projeto para o PCCA de curta extensão sendo direcionado para projetos de longo prazo para mais de 20 anos de operação. O gráfico de projeto foi aplicado com sucesso para investigar três falhas apresentadas pelo PCCA curto experimental devido a deficiências de espessura apontadas pelo teste ultrassônico.

Ensaios não destrutivos são testes que não causam danos a estrutura ensaiada, o que os torna um excelente auxílio aos métodos de ensaios tradicionais quando estes apresentam alguma dificuldade de serem executados. Desta forma, este trabalho visa utilizar os ensaios de esclerometria e ultrassom, dando ênfase na transmissão indireta, para determinar a resistência à compressão nas primeiras idades do concreto e possibilitar um melhor controle tecnológico do material. Para se obter a relação entre os dados experimentais não destrutivos e a resistência à compressão, foram realizados ensaios em duas etapas. A primeira etapa foi desenvolvida em corpos de prova cilíndricos e prismáticos com três traços diferentes de concreto, onde foi variado o consumo de cimento. Na segunda etapa os ensaios foram realizados em uma laje alveolar produzida em laboratório. Com os dados coletados nos ensaios foi possível determinar a relação de crescimento da resistência, do índice esclerométrico e da velocidade do pulso ultrassônico ao longo do tempo, além das correlações velocidade x resistência, velocidade x índice esclerométrico; e a correlação múltipla entre os três fatores. Com base nisto, concluiu-se que é viável ter um bom controle tecnológico da resistência do concreto a partir dos ensaios não destrutivos. Este trabalho não obteve uma equação universal que correlacionasse os parâmetros para todos os tipos de traço de concreto, porém foram obtidas correlações satisfatórias para os traços ensaiados. Desta forma, é possível afirmar que o ensaio de ultrassom, especificamente posição indireta de 30 centímetros, e a esclerometria são ferramentas possíveis de serem aplicadas como auxílio à obtenção da resistência à compressão nas primeiras idades. / Non-destructive tests are tools that do not cause damage to the evaluated structure, which is an excellent support for traditional test methods. Therefore, this work used non-destructive tests such as rebound method and ultrasound, emphasizing the indirect transmission, to determine compression strength in the early age sand enable a better technological control of the material. Two-step tests were performed to see if there is a relationship between non-destructive test data and the compressive strength. The first one was performed in specimens with three different concrete compositions, where the cement ratio was varied, where as the second was carried out in a laboratory hollow core slab. With the experimental data was possible to determine the relationship of the compression strength, rebound number and ultrasonic pulse velocity over time; as the correlations strength x velocity, velocity x rebound number; and a multiple correlation between the three tests. Based on this, it was concluded that it is possible to have a good technological control of the concrete strength from non-destructive tests. A universal equation that correlates parameters for all types of concrete compositions was not found, but satisfactory correlations were obtained for the tested concretes. In this way, it is possible to affirm that the ultrasound test, specifically indirect position of 30 centimeters, and rebound method are possible tools to be applied as aid to obtain the compression strength in the early ages.

Este trabalho estuda a aplicação de um Ensaio Não-Destrutivo de Inspeção (ENDI), baseado na técnica Ruído Magnético de Barkhausen (RMB), na detecção de regiões não homogêneas em chapas de aços carbono. Apresentando os avanços no desenvolvimento de uma nova variante de ensaio não-destrutivo magnético, denominada Escaneamento Contínuo de Ruído Magnético de Barkhausen (ECRMB). O RMB é gerado por abruptas mudanças na magnetização de materiais magnéticos quando são submetidos a campos magnéticos variáveis. Essas mudanças são afetadas pela micro-estrutura e a presença e distribuição de tensões elásticas (compressão e tração), deformação plástica e alteração da micro-estrutura. Neste trabalho analisou-se a sensibilidade dos sinais de RMB na detecção de deformações plásticas em parâmetros tais como, frequência de campo magnético de excitação e a velocidade de movimentação da sonda. O comportamento do parâmetro RMSRMB dos sinais de RMB se correlacionou com a posição das regiões não homogêneas detectadas nas amostras. Sendo, contudo ainda feita uma avaliação da técnica aplicada para a medição, fazendo uma comparação dos resultados obtidos com a técnica de Ruído Magnético de Barkhausen Estático (RMBE) que é uma técnica já estabelecida na literatura. Os resultados mostraram, que para cada um dos casos estudados, é possível detectar a posição do dano produzido. Essa nova técnica aumenta o espectro de soluções de ENDI para problemas não contemplados pelas técnicas existentes. / This work the application of a technique of Non-Destructive Inspection Test (NDIT) based on the technical Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN), the detection of non-homogeneous regions in sheets of carbon steels. It presents advances in the development of a new technique of magnetic non-destructive testing. Particularly a variant nominated Scanning Continuous Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (SCRMB). The MBN are generated by abrupt changes in the magnetization of materials when subjected to varying magnetic fields. These changes are affected by the microstructure and the presence and distribution of elastic stresses (compression and tension). We analyzed the sensitivity of the signal MBN detection plastic deformation on parameters such as magnetic field excitation frequency and the probe movement speed. The RMSMBN parameter behavior of MBN signals correlated with the position of non-homogeneous regions detected in the samples. An evaluation of the technique applied to the measurement was performed by making a comparison of the results obtained with MBNE technique, is a technique already established in the literature. The results showed that for each of the studied cases, it is possible to detect the position of the damage produced. This new technique increases the spectrum of NDIT solutions for problems not covered by existing techniques.

Neste trabalho se estuda a aplicação de técnicas de estatística multivariada para reconhecimento de padrões em sinais de ensaios não destrutivos (END) magnéticos, baseados no Ruído Magnético de Barkhausen (RMB). O reconhecimento de padrões pode ser feito de forma não supervisionada com a técnica multivariada de Análise de Agrupamentos, conglomerados ou Clusters que definem grupos segundo critérios de similaridade. Já para reconhecimento supervisionado a Análise Discriminante procura classificar amostras novas em grupos conhecidos, a priori, usando para este propósito uma regra de classificação criada a partir desses grupos de amostras conhecidos. Foram utilizados dois casos de detecção e classificação utilizando RMB. O RMB é um fenômeno magnético gerado por abruptas mudanças na magnetização de materiais ferromagnéticos quando submetidos a campos magnéticos variáveis. Essas mudanças estão relacionadas com a microestrutura do material, presença e distribuição de tensões elásticas (tensão e compressão). No primeiro caso de estudo procura-se identificar arames quebrados em risers, através da medição de tensão mecânica. No segundo caso procura-se classificar diferentes tratamentos térmicos em Aço AISI 420. Para a análise de integridade estrutural de risers foi feita a redução da dimensionalidade dos dados via Análise de Componentes Principais e posteriormente Análise de Agrupamentos. Já para o problema de classificação de amostras de aço foi usada a técnica de Análise Discriminante Linear de Fisher e a Quadrática. Os resultados das análises mostraram que as técnicas de Estatísticas Multivariadas proporcionam ferramentas muito adequadas para aumentar a eficiência da inspeção na área de END Magnéticos em geral e RMB em particular. / The present work deals with application of multivariate statistic techniques for pattern recognition in signals from Non-Destructive Essays (NDE), based on the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN). Pattern recognition can be done in a nonsupervised way by Cluster Analysis defining similarity criteria. On the other hand, for supervised recognition, Discriminant Analysis looks for classifying new samples in known groups, a priori, by means of classification rules created for these known sample groups. Two detection and classification cases were studied by MBN. The MBN is a magnetic phenomenon generated by sudden changes in magnetization of ferromagnetic materials, when these materials are subjected to variable magnetic fields. These changes are related to material microstructure as well as to the presence of elastic stresses (tension and compression). In the first studied case, the present study searches identifying broken wires in risers through measurements of mechanical strain. In the second case, the study classifies different thermal treatments in AISI 420 steel samples. Regarding the analysis of structural integrity of risers, firstly the reduction of data dimensionality was obtained via Analysis of Main Components and, later, Cluster Analysis was performed. Concerning the classification problem of steel samples, the Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis and the Quadratic Analysis were used. Analysis results showed that Multivariate Statistic Techniques give rise to tools very appropriated for increasing the efficiency of inspection both in the Magnetic NDE area in general, and MBN in particular.

Le contrôle non destructif (CND) a pour but de détecter et de caractériser d’éventuels défauts présents dans des pièces mécaniques. Les techniques ultrasonores actuelles utilisent des capteurs multiéléments associés à des chaînes d’instrumentations et d’acquisitions de données multi capteurs en parallèles. Compte tenu de la masse de données à traiter, l’analyse de ces dernières est généralement effectuée hors ligne. Des travaux en cours, au Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA), consistent à développer et évaluer différentes méthodes d’imageries avancées, basées sur la focalisation synthétique. Les algorithmes de calculs induits nécessitent d’importantes opérations itératives sur un grand volume de données, issues d’acquisition multiéléments. Ceci implique des temps de calculs important, imposant un traitement en différé. Les contraintes industrielles de caractérisation de pièces mécaniques in situ imposent de réaliser la reconstruction d’images lors de la mesure et en temps réel. Ceci implique d’embarquer dans l’appareil de mesure, toute l’architecture de calcul sur les données acquises des capteurs. Le travail de thèse a donc consisté à étudier une famille d’algorithmes de focalisation synthétique pour une implantation temps réel sur un instrument de mesure permettant de réaliser l’acquisition de données. Nous avons également étudié une architecture dédiée à la reconstruction d’images par la méthode de Focalisation en Tout Point (FTP). Ce travail a été réalisé dans le cadre d’une collaboration avec l’équipe ACCIS de l’institut d’Electronique Fondamentale, Université de Paris Sud. Pour ce faire, notre démarche s’est inspirée de la thématique de recherche d’Adéquation Algorithme Architecture (A3). Notre méthodologie, est basée sur une approche expérimentale consistant dans un premier temps en une décomposition de l’algorithme étudié en un ensemble de blocs fonctionnels (calculs/transferts). Cela nous a permis de réaliser l’extraction des blocs pertinents de calculs à paralléliser et qui ont une incidence majeure sur les temps de traitement. Nous avons orienté notre stratégie de développement vers une conception flot de donnée. Ce type de modélisation permet de favoriser les flux de données et de réduire les flux de contrôles au sein de l’architecture matérielle. Cette dernière repose sur une plateforme multi-FPGA. La conception et l’évaluation de telles architectures ne peuvent se faire sans la mise en place d’outils logiciels d’aide à la validation tout au long du processus de la conception à l’implantation. Ces outils faisant partie intégrante de notre méthodologie. Les modèles architecturaux des briques de calculs ont été validés au niveau fonctionnel puis expérimental, grâce à la chaîne d’outils développée. Cela inclus un environnement de simulation nous permettant de valider sur tables les briques partielles de calculs ainsi que le contrôle associé. Enfin, cela a nécessité la conception d’outils de génération automatique de vecteurs de tests, à partir de données de synthèses (issues de l’outil simulation CIVA développé par le CEA) et de données expérimentales (à partir de l’appareil d’acquisition de la société M2M-NDT). Enfin, l’architecture développée au cours de ce travail de thèse permet la reconstruction d’images d’une résolution de 128x128 pixels, à plus de 10 images/sec. Ceci est suffisant pour le diagnostic de pièces mécaniques en temps réel. L’augmentation du nombre d’éléments capteurs ultrasonores (128 éléments) permet des configurations topologiques plus évoluées (sous forme d’une matrice 2D), ouvrant ainsi des perspectives vers la reconstruction 3D (d’un volume d’une pièce). Ce travail s’est soldé par une mise en œuvre validée sur l’instrument de mesure développé par la société M2M-NDT. / Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) regroups a set of methods used to detect and characterize potential defects in mechanical parts. Current techniques uses ultrasonic phased array sensors associated with instrumentation channels and multi-sensor data acquisition in parallel. Given the amount of data to be processed, the analysis of the latter is usually done offline. Ongoing work at the French “Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique” (CEA), consist to develop and evaluate different methods of advanced imaging based on synthetic focusing. The Algorithms induced require extensive iterative operations on a large volume of data from phased array acquisition. This involves important time for calculations and implies offline processing. However, the industrial constraint requires performing image reconstruction in real time. This involves the implementation in the measuring device, the entire computing architecture on acquired sensor data. The thesis has been to study a synthetic focusing algorithm for a real-time implementation in a measuring instrument used to perform ultrasonic data acquisition. We especially studied an image reconstruction algorithm called Total Focusing Method (TFM). This work was conducted as part of collaboration with the French Institute of Fundamental Electronics Institute team of the University of Paris Sud. To do this, our approach is inspired by research theme called Algorithm Architecture Adequation (A3). Our methodology is based on an experimental approach in the first instance by a decomposition of the studied algorithm as a set of functional blocks. This allowed us to perform the extraction of the relevant blocks to parallelize computations that have a major impact on the processing time. We focused our development strategy to design a stream of data. This type of modeling can facilitate the flow of data and reduce the flow of control within the hardware architecture. This is based on a multi- FPGA platform. The design and evaluation of such architectures cannot be done without the introduction of software tools to aid in the validation throughout the process from design to implementation. These tools are an integral part of our methodology. Architectural models bricks calculations were validated functional and experimental level, thanks to the tool chain developed. This includes a simulation environment allows us to validate partial calculation blocks and the control associated. Finally, it required the design of tools for automatic generation of test vectors, from data summaries (from CIVA simulation tool developed by CEA) and experimental data (from the device to acquisition of M2M –NDT society). Finally, the architecture developed in this work allows the reconstruction of images with a resolution of 128x128 pixels at more than 10 frames / sec. This is sufficient for the diagnosis of mechanical parts in real time. The increase of ultrasonic sensor elements (128 elements) allows more advanced topological configurations (as a 2D matrix) and providing opportunities to 3D reconstruction (volume of a room). This work has resulted in implementation of validated measurement instrument developed by M2M -NDT.

O suicídio é uma morte repentina e violenta, que choca. Pode provocar indignação, pois causa em quem ficou um hiato, em relação à experiência de dizer adeus àquele que é amado. A morte autoinfligida causa sofrimento e, por isso, o enlutado por suicídio é reconhecido como sobrevivente. Este estudo teve como objetivo a compreensão do processo de luto do(a) filho(a) da pessoa que cometeu o suicídio. Jamison (2010), Alvarez (1999) e Shneidman (1985; 1993) foram os principais autores que fundamentaram a discussão sobre o suicídio. As obras de Parkes (1998; 2009), Franco (2002; 2010), Kovács (1992; 2003) e Clark (2001; 2007), as fontes básicas consultadas para a compreensão do processo de luto. Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, tendo como participantes 9 (nove) filhos de indivíduos que cometeram o suicídio. Os princípios éticos de sigilo, privacidade, confidencialidade, não identificação dos dados do colaborador e liberdade de participação foram respeitados. Os depoimentos foram gravados com a anuência dos entrevistados e realizados: entrevista para a coleta de depoimento, de aproximadamente 3 (três) horas de duração e 2 (dois) contatos por e-mail para enviar a transcrição das entrevistas, e outro, depois da análise dos dados, para compartilhar com o colaborador a compreensão da pesquisadora. As unidades de significados foram extraídas conforme o método fenomenológico (Moustakas, 1994) e compreendidas pela perspectiva da abordagem da Gestalt-terapia. Observou-se que para alguns entrevistados, a superação da falta do progenitor trouxe ambivalências: vivos, foram ausentes; mortos, tornaram-se presentes. O ato suicida pode denunciar uma dinâmica familiar cujo rompimento de vínculos já acontecia, ou seja, o estresse foi experienciado antes, durante e depois do suicídio. Portanto, o suicídio não foi fator precipitante, mas, sim, o processo como um todo. Quando o filho sobrevive ao suicídio de um dos genitores pode ter uma experiência cujo sofrimento provoca culpa, raiva, ressentimentos, sensação de desamparo e de abandono, solidão, falta de oportunidade por não ter recebido colo, acalanto, cuidado, amor e direção. Considerou-se que, embora a morte seja para sempre, o luto é um processo dinâmico, no qual os enlutados tentam administrar uma diversidade de sentimentos e pensamentos: além da necessidade de compreender a morte, surge a redefinição de seu papel na família. Destaca-se também o calar e o isolamento dos depoentes. O isolamento parece acontecer para que não sejam mobilizados os sentimentos confusos e não compartilhados, que ameaçam a zona de conforto tão arduamente conquistada pelos que sobreviveram. O que se cala é o sofrimento, a dúvida e o estigma. Identificou-se que o suicídio parental é uma vivência ímpar, que permite à pessoa descobrir e desenvolver estratégias de enfrentamento em seu processo de luto / Suicide is a sudden and violent death, which shocks. It may cause outrage, as it causes a gap in those who remained, in relation to the experience of saying goodbye to the one who is loved. The self-inflicted death causes suffering and, thus, the bereaved by suicide is recognized as a survivor. This study had as goal the comprehension of the grieving process of the offspring of the person who committed suicide. Jamison (2010), Alvarez (1999) and Shneidman (1985; 1993) were the main authors who grounded the discussion about suicide. The works of Parkes (1998; 2009), Franco (2002; 2010), Kovács (1992; 2003) and Clark (2001; 2007), the basic sources consulted to the comprehension of the grieving process. It is a research of qualitative nature, having as participants nine (9) offspring of individuals who committed suicide. The ethical principles of secrecy, privacy, confidentiality, no identification of the data of the collaborators and freedom of participation were respected. The testimonies were recorded with the consent of the interviewees and carried out: interview - to collect the testimony, approximately three (3) hours long - and two (2) contacts by e-mail one to send the transcripts of the interviews, and other after analyzing the data, to share with the collaborator the comprehension of the researcher. The units of meaning were extracted according to the phenomenological method (Moustakas, 1994) and understood through the perspective of the Gestalt-Therapy approach. It was observed that for some interviewees, overcoming the lack of a parent brought ambivalences: as alive, they were absent; as dead, they became present. The suicidal act may denounce a family dynamic in which breaking of bonds has already happened, in other words, the stress was experienced before, during and after the suicide. Therefore, suicide was not a triggering factor, but, instead, the process as a whole. When the child survives the suicide of one of its parents, one can have an experience whose suffering causes guilt, anger, resentment, helplessness and abandonment, loneliness, lack of opportunity by not having received lap time, soothing, care, love and guidance. It was considered that, although death is forever, grief is a dynamic process, in which bereaved ones try to manage a diversity of feelings and thoughts: besides the necessity of comprehending death, comes the redefinition of their role in the family. Also noteworthy is the silence and isolation of the deponents. The isolation seems to happen for mixed and not shared feelings not to be mobilized, that threaten the comfort zone so hardly conquered by those who survived. What is silenced is the suffering, the doubt and the stigma. It was identified that parental suicide is a unique experience that allows the person to discover and develop coping strategies in their grieving process

Le contenu et l’état de conservation exceptionnel du Codex Borbonicus en font un témoin précieux de la culture du bassin de Mexico-Tenochtitlan à l’époque de l’arrivée des conquistadors. Pour certains historiens il s’agit d’un document assurément précolombien, tandis que pour d’autres, une partie de son contenu graphique dénote une influence culturelle Européenne. Afin d’explorer les savoir-faire mis en œuvre lors de sa production et d’apporter de nouvelles données à ce débat, la nature et le mode de préparation des constituants du manuscrit sont étudiés, dans les limites offertes par les instrumentations transportables et non-invasives (spectroscopies de fluorescence de rayons X, de réflexion, d’émission et Raman). Une première interprétation des données analytiques enregistrées sur le manuscrit se base sur les connaissances issues des sources historiques et du corpus de manuscrits mésoaméricains déjà étudiés. Une analyse plus fine des données est apportée par des calculs de combinaisons spectrales et par l’étude expérimentale de certains colorants, qui permettent une compréhension plus avancée des techniques de production picturale employées. Afin de généraliser les conclusions tirées des mesures localisées, la distribution des constituants sur la totalité du document est également abordée. L’imagerie hyperspectrale, par l’application d’outils statistiques et le développement de cartographies de motifs spectraux spécifiques, apporte ainsi une nouvelle perspective aux résultats des analyses. L’utilisation exclusive de colorants organiques d’origine animale (Dactylopius coccus) ou végétale (Indigofera suffruticosa, Comellina coelestis, Justicia spicigera) dans le Codex Borbonicus, seuls ou en mélanges, correspond aux traditions précolombiennes. L’hypothèse d’une influence européenne ne peut donc s’appuyer sur la nature des constituants du document. Les données présentées viennent par ailleurs enrichir les connaissances sur les techniques de production de manuscrits Mésoaméricains. / The Codex Borbonicus is a great source of knowledge regarding different aspects of the culture of the basin of Mexico-Tenochtitlan at the time of the Spanish conquest. For some historians, the manuscript is definitely Precolumbian while for others, parts of its graphical contents reveal a European cultural influence. In order to investigate the technological knowledge that was involved for its creation, and to bring fresh data to the debate, the manuscript material constituents are studied with transportable, non-invasive analytical techniques (X-Ray fluorescence, reflexion, emission and Raman spectroscopies). A first interpretation of the analytical data recorded on the document is based on the historical records and the corpus of Mesoamerican manuscripts that have already been studied. A finer analysis of the data is done through the calculation of spectral combinations as well as the experimental studies of certain coloring materials, that allow a better understanding of the paint preparation techniques. In order to generalize the conclusion based on localized analyses, the spatial distribution of the constituent on the whole document is also explored. Hyperspectral imaging, with the aid of statistical tools and the mapping of specific spectral features, brings new insights to the first results. The exclusive use of organic colorants extracted from animal (Dactylopius coccus) or vegetable sources (Indigofera suffruticosa, Comellina coelestis, Justicia spicigera) in the Codex Borbonicus, alone or in mixtures, fits what is known of Precolumbian traditions. Therefore, the hypothesis of a European influence can’t be supported by the nature of the manuscript constituents. Moreover, these new data enrich the current knowledge on Mesoamerican manuscript production techniques.

La quantité et la distribution de l'eau interstitielle dans l'espace poral des milieux cimentaires sont des marqueurs fondamentaux de la durabilité des structures de Génie Civil en béton. La connaissance de ces grandeurs est également importante pour l'interprétation de certains essais non destructifs mis en œuvre pour évaluer les performances mécaniques des ouvrages ou détecter certains défauts. L'évaluation de la teneur en eau par méthode non-destructive requiert l'utilisation d'une grandeur intermédiaire telle que la permittivité diélectrique. La relation entre cette propriété électromagnétique et la teneur en eau dépend alors de la composition et donc de la formulation du béton. En électromagnétisme, les lois d'homogénéisation permettent de lier la permittivité effective d'un matériau hétérogène avec la permittivité intrinsèque et la fraction volumique de chaque hétérogénéité présente. Afin de pallier le temps important requis pour l'établissement d'une courbe de calibration expérimentale propre à chaque formulation, l'étude présentée propose la mise en place d'une démarche d'homogénéisation de la permittivité pour lier quantité d'eau présente dans un béton et permittivité macroscopique du matériau. Les travaux présentés rapportent la fabrication, la modélisation et l'utilisation de sondes coaxiales ouvertes pour la mesure de la permittivité complexe de matériaux solides et liquides. Le concept d'estimation de la teneur en eau par utilisation de lois d'homogénéisation est validé pour le cas d'un sable partiellement saturé en eau. Au vu des résultats prometteurs obtenus par modélisation analytique, des schémas d'homogénéisation sont combinés lors d'un processus de remontée d'échelle depuis celle des hydrates jusqu'à celle des granulats, en tenant compte de la morphologie de la microstructure. Les propriétés intrinsèques des principaux constituants d'un béton (granulats, hydrates, ciment anhydre) sont alors mesurées par sonde coaxiale et utilisées en données d'entrée du modèle construit. Une bonne cohérence est observée entre parties réelles de la permittivité simulées et mesurées, pour des échantillons de pâtes de ciment, mortiers et bétons. A la différence des lois expérimentales et empiriques, le modèle construit se caractérise par un temps de calcul quasi-instantané et peut être adapté d'une formulation de béton à une autre en fonction du type de ciment utilisé, de la nature et de la quantité de granulats ou encore de la porosité accessible à l'eau du matériau. / Prediction of delayed behavior in concrete can be significantly improved by monitoring the amount and spatial distribution of water within a concrete structure over time. Water content of cement-based materials can also be required to interpret non-destructive tests such as ultrasonic and radar measurements. Electromagnetic properties of heterogeneous and porous materials, such as dielectric permittivity, are closely related to water content. Measurement of these properties is thus a common non-destructive technique used to assess the moisture content, but a calibration curve is required to link the measured permittivity to the saturation degree. This curve can be determined experimentally, or from empirical models. However, the first approach is tedious and time consuming, while the second one is not adapted to concrete. Hence, this contribution proposes an alternative route, relying on electromagnetic homogenization schemes, to connect the macroscopic permittivity of cement-based materials with the water content of the structure. Therefore, different open-ended coaxial probes were designed, modelled and tested in order to perform complex permittivity measurements of both solids and liquids. The homogenization approach is first validated on unsaturated sand. Then, the permittivity of concrete components (aggregates, hydrates, interstitial liquid, anhydrous cement) was assessed by means of coaxial probe measurements. Finally, a specific combination of analytical homogenization laws taking into account the microstructure's morphology of the material is built. Results show that there is a good correlation between the model and measurements acquired on different cement pastes, mortars and concretes, at different saturation degrees. The model is characterized by a quasi-instantaneous calculation time and can be adapted to different concretes depending on cement type, nature and quantity aggregates or porosity.
