The study of the influence of viscoelastic adhesives on timber-glass composite beams addresses the development of new and innovative load bearing structures. Hybrid timber-glass beams, comprising of timber flanges and a glass web, were considered. The solutions proposed in this study are based on utilizing viscoelastic adhesive bond lines to obtain optimal structural interaction between timber and glass. For hybrid timber-glass beams, numerical simulations have been developed with Abaqus, Finite element software which are verified by analytical methods according to the Eurocode 5 (EN 1995). In this study, three different bond-line geometries and three adhesives (epoxy, silicone and acrylate) have been investigated. The beams were analyzed under four-point bending. This report summarizes theoretical investigations, background studies, numerical modelling and analytical solution that have been performed. Guidance is presented which can be used for the design of timber-glass composite beams. The study has shown that the viscoelastic properties of the adhesive had no significant influence for the selected epoxy adhesive, but it can slightly affect the beam behavior with the silicone and acrylate adhesives used. From the three geometries studied, the design with an epoxy bond-line on both sides and on top of glass is regarded the best way, leading to good load-bearing structural elements where the response of the adhesive was highly influenced by its near incompressible behavior.

The topic of the master thesis are the numerical simulations of magnetoacoustic waves in the solar corona in relation to the reconnection of magnetic field. The first part is devoted to the basic description of the Sun, its atmosphere and the processes that occur in it. Other sections are devoted to the description of reconnection of magnetic field and the description of solar flares taking place in the solar corona in relation to the mechanisms of magnetic field reconnection. Then the attention is focused on plasma waves and oscilations. The last section aims to simulate the startup options of the reconnection of magnetic field by oscillations and waves in the Harris current-sheet. Numerical simulations are implemented in FLASH 3.3.

Depuis les débuts de l’aéronautique, le feu fut l’un des premiers risques identifiés. Cependant, ce dernier est encore aujourd’hui la source d’accidents, souvent fatals, faute d’issue lorsqu’il intervient en vol. Dans le même temps, le besoin de réduire la masse des aéronefs actuels, pour limiter les coûts de fonctionnement, a rendu l’utilisation des matériaux composites, particulièrement réactifs au feu, indispensables. Afin de valider la performance au feu de ces matériaux, il est donc nécessaire de certifier leurs performances lorsqu’ils sont soumis au feu. Or ces essais représentent un coût non-négligeable pendant les phases de développement. L’utilisation des simulations numériques semble donc être une bonne alternative afin de limiter le nombre d’essais. Néanmoins ces dernières nécessitent un certain nombre de paramètres d’entrée et une bonne connaissance des phénomènes de dégradation. Ainsi dans ce travail, la dégradation thermique de deux matériaux composite est étudiée, le thermoplastique carbone-PEKK et le thermodurcissable carbone-phénolique. Les propriétés thermiques et cinétiques, indispensables pour la modélisation numérique du comportement au feu des matériaux, sont dans un premier temps caractérisées à petite échelle (ATG/DSC, DIL, diffusivité par méthode flash). Par la suite, ces propriétés sont utilisées dans le modèle de pyrolyse qui est validé à moyenne échelle, à l’aide de mesures de dégradation au cône calorimètre. Enfin, des essais de résistance au feu sont réalisés afin de valider les simulations numériques à grande échelle à l’aide du brûleur NexGen de la plateforme expérimental feux VESTA. De plus, les produits de pyrolyse sont évalués au cours de la dégradation (Py-GC-MS) pour déterminer les limites inférieures d’inflammabilité en fonction de la température et ainsi proposer une classification des matériaux étudiés. / Since the beginning of aeronautics, fire has been one of the first identified risks. However, the latter is still today the source of accidents, often fatal, lack of outcome when it intervenes in flight. At the same time, the need to reduce the mass of current aircraft, to limit operating costs, has made the use of composite materials, particularly fire-resistant, essential. In order to validate the fire performance of these materials, it is therefore necessary to certify their performance when subjected to fire. These tests represent a non-negligible cost during the development phases. The use of numerical simulations seems to be a good alternative in order to limit the number of trials. Nevertheless, the latter require a certain number of input parameters and a good knowledge of degradation phenomena. Thus in this work, the thermal degradation of two composite materials is studied, the thermoplastic carbon-PEKK and the thermosetting carbon-phenolic. The thermal and kinetic properties are first characterized on a small scale (ATG / DSC, DIL, diffusivity by flash method). Subsequently, these properties are used in the pyrolysis model that is validated on a medium scale using calorimeter cone degradation measurements. Finally, fire resistance tests are carried out using the NexGen burner of the experimental VESTA fire platform. In addition, the pyrolysis products are then evaluated during the degradation (Py-GC-MS) to determine the lower flammability limits and thus propose a classification of the materials studied.

Les oscillations de pression sont un enjeu majeur dans le design des moteurs à propergol solide car de faibles oscillations de pression (ODP) dans la chambre entraînent de fortes oscillations de poussée ce qui conduit à des vibrations néfastes pour les structures et les satellites embarqués. Les ODP sont encore aujourd'hui un vaste sujet de recherche et la simulation numérique est un outil indispensable dans leur analyse. De nombreux travaux ont permis de mettre en évidence divers mécanismes générateurs d'oscillations, mais la conception des nouveaux moteurs favorise la formation d'une instabilité hydrodynamique, appelée VSA et caractérisée par des détachements tourbillonnaire au niveau des discontinuités de la surface débitante. Etudiée dans les travaux sur le C1x [Vuillot 1995, Dupays 1996], il reste cependant divers points à aborder afin d'avoir une vision complète des mécanismes qui pilotent et modifient cette instabilité. Pour cela, il a été choisi dans ces travaux d'isoler le VSA dans une configuration académique et d'étudier dans un premier temps, l'impact du soufflage latéral, généré par un dégagement gazeux du à la combustion d'un bloc de propergol en aval de l'angle. Les deux approches utilisées, à savoir la simulation numérique et la stabilité linéaire, démontrent que le soufflage latéral possède un fort effet stabilisant sur le VSA. Dans un deuxième temps, l'impact de la combustion des particules d'aluminium et des résidus, présents dans un moteur à propergol solide, est analysé. Ces travaux montrent que les particules, via des mécanismes complexes, peuvent jouer à la fois un rôle stabilisant et déstabilisant sur le VSA. Pour finir, l'impact de la mise à l'échelle sur l'instabilité est étudié. Si en gaz seul, les résultats obtenus à échelle réduite sont directement transposables vers l'échelle réelle, la mise à l'échelle modifie le comportement des particules dans les structures tourbillonnaires et donc leur rôle sur l'instabilité. / Pressure oscillations (ODP) are a major issue in solid rocket motor design, as very small pressure oscillations induce strong thrust oscillations, involving vibrations detrimental to carrying load. ODP are still a vast and intense domain of research and the improvement of rocket motors mainly resorts to advanced numerical simulations. Extensive research have enabled to characterize several sources of instabilities, but new motor design promotes one hydrodynamic instability, called VSA and characterized by vortex shedding at geometry angles. VSA has be studied in the C1x configuration [Vuillot 1995, Dupays 1996] but several points still need to be studied in order to have a complete view of the phenomena driving and impacting this instability in a solid rocket motor flow. In this work, the VSA is isolated in an academic configuration and, in a first part, the impact of lateral blowing is studied. This blowing, never analysed so far, is due to burnt gases coming from the combustion of propellant block after the angle. This study has been performed following two approaches, numerical simulations and linear stability analysis. Both demonstrate the strong stabilizing effect of the lateral blowing. In a second part, the impact of aluminium particles combustion including the presence of residual particles, found in solid rocker motors, is analysed. This work shows that due to complex interaction mechanisms, particles can have a stabilizing or a destabilizing impact on the instability. Finally, the scaling impact is studied with and without particles. In purely gaseous configuration, the results obtained at reduced scale can be used directly at real scale as all the characteristics of the instability are preserved. However, with particles, the scaling modifies the particles behaviour and then the particles impact on the VSA.

Dentre as possíveis causas na falha da transmissão de energia elétrica, o colapso de torres de linhas de transmissão (LTs) é uma problemática amplamente investigada nas últimas décadas, devido principalmente aos inúmeros acidentes registrados nas LTs em todo o mundo. Neste trabalho, o enfoque é dado à análise dinâmica associada à solicitação proveniente da ruptura de cabos, que quando atuante é capaz de desencadear um fenômeno conhecido como efeito cascata. Para a melhor compreensão da resposta das torres metálicas autoportantes e estaiadas submetidas a esse carregamento dinâmico e buscando contribuir para a determinação de critérios de projeto que visem o estabelecimento adequado de rigidez longitudinal às torres de LTs, foram desenvolvidos modelos numéricos no software ANSYS Mechanical/LS-DYNA, considerando a discretização do modelo estrutural no espaço a partir da utilização do Método de Elementos Finitos e a solução do problema dinâmico ao longo do tempo considerando o método de integração direta implícito das equações de movimento, através do método de Newmark. Inicialmente foram desenvolvidas análises estáticas, conforme considerado nos projetos atualmente. Em seguida, foram desenvolvidos dois tipos de análises dinâmicas: uma simplificada com a aplicação da solicitação através de uma função de carregamento ao longo do tempo, e outra simulada através do desligamento de um elemento finito do condutor. Posteriormente, foram realizadas interpretações e comparações desses resultados. O amortecimento estrutural foi considerado segundo a formulação proposta por Rayleigh e a formação da catenária dos cabos segundo as equações teóricas dadas por Irvine e Caughey. Visando não restringir as respostas a apenas um tipo de trecho simulado, foram desenvolvidos nove modelos numéricos com a variação do tipo de torre analisada, a quantidade de torres por trecho, o nível de amortecimento e o tipo de análise. As respostas dinâmicas são apresentadas em termos da solicitação normal nas barras das estruturas, dos cabos condutores e estais, e dos deslocamentos no topo das torres. / Amidst the main causes of electric energy transmission failure, the collapse of transmission towers is a current research topic in the last decades, due mainly to a huge number of accidents occurring in transmission lines worldwide. In this work, a dynamic analysis was performed associated to the loading due to a broken conductor, which gives rise to a phenomenon known as cascade effect. To better understanding the response of lattice selfsupported and guyed towers under this dynamic load, and in an attempt of determination of criteria for establishment of the longitudinal robustness of transmission line towers, numerical models were developed in the software ANSYS Mechanical/LS-DYNA, considering the discretization of the structural model in space using the finite element method; and the solution of the dynamic problem in the time using the direct integration of the equation of motion, through the Newmark’s method. First, static analyses were performed, accordingly to the considerations of design projects carried out nowadays. Afterwards, two kinds of dynamic analyses were executed: a simplified one, with the applications of the loading using a function in the time and another, which was simulated as a deactivation of a conductor’s finite element. After that, these were submitted to interpretation and comparison among their results. The structural damping was considered in accordance with Rayleigh’s formulation and the catenary of the cables following the equations found by Irvine and Caughey (1974). In order to not restrict the response to one kind of simulation, nine numerical models were developed with the variation of: the kind of tower; the number of towers by line section; the damping level and the type of analysis implemented. The dynamic responses are show in terms of: forces in towers bars; conductors and stays; and the displacements in tower tops.

Este trabalho apresenta a simulação numérica do escoamento turbulento em torno de uma turbina eólica de eixo vertical de pequeno porte, Savonius tipo helicoidal com torção de 180° nas pás. Com o intuito de avaliar a metodologia computacional empregada os resultados numéricos obtidos são comparados com os resultados experimental e numérico contidos no estado da arte. Também, compara-se o coeficiente de toque da turbina Savonius helicoidal com a turbina Savonius convencional. As simulações numéricas são baseadas no Método de Volumes Finitos, e para tal emprega-se o programa Fluent /Ansys versão 13.0 que resolve as equações da continuidade e as equações de Navier-Stokes com médias de Reynolds, juntamente com o modelo de turbulência . As simulações são desenvolvidas empregando diferentes malhas computacionais em estudos transientes, tridimensionais, com a turbina estacionária. A avaliação da qualidade da malha é realizada através do método de Índice de Convergência de Malha (GCI) o qual analisa o quão longe os resultados estão da solução assintótica para a malha utilizada. Após a análise da qualidade de malha, realizam-se simulações com a turbina em rotação as quais fazem uso da malha contendo uma região móvel possibilitando a imposição de uma velocidade angular ao rotor. O coeficiente de torque é obtido nas simulações e a partir dele calcula-se o coeficiente de potência. Além da análise do desempenho do rotor realiza-se uma análise qualitativa das características do escoamento sobre a turbina. A turbina Savonius helicoidal apresenta um valor de coeficiente de potência de 0,175 para a razão de velocidade de ponta de 0,58 considerando correção do efeito de bloqueio. Os resultados obtidos apresentam boa concordância com os resultados publicados por outros autores. / This dissertation presents the numerical simulation of the turbulent flow around of a small sized vertical axis wind turbine, consisting in a helical Savonius type with a 180° degree of blade twist. In order to evaluate the used methodology the obtained results are compared with the state of the art numerical and experimental data. It will be also presented the comparison between the torque coefficient of the conventional Savonius turbine and the helical Savonius turbine. The numerical simulations are based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM), using the commercial code Fluent/ANSYS version 13.0, which solves the continuity and Navier-Stokes through the Reynolds time-averaged methodology, including the turbulence model. The simulations are developed using different computational meshes for transient and three-dimensional studies with the stationary turbine. The evaluating the quality of the mesh is performed by of Grid Convergence Index (GCI) method which analyzes how far the results are the asymptotic solution to the mesh used. After the evaluation of the mesh quality, it was simulated a case considering the rotor motion using the moving mesh configuration, allowing the imposition of an angular velocity to the turbine. In the post-processing stage, it is possible to obtain the torque coefficient on the rotor shaft, allowing the calculation of the power coefficient for the turbine. In addition to the performance analysis, it is also made a qualitative analysis of the flow characteristics over the turbine rotor and in both cases presenting a good correspondence with the results in the literature. The helical Savonius turbine presents a value of power coefficient of 0.175 to a tip speed ratio of 0.58 whereas blocking effect correction.

La thèse porte sur les mesures de courants transitoires limités par la charge d'espace dans des films minces organiques (épaisseur < 500 nm). Ce type de films est souvent utilisé dans des applications dans le domaine de l'électronique organique comme couches actives semi-conductrices. Le transport électrique dans ces films dépend en premier lieu du transport des porteurs de charge dans le milieu massif et de leur piégeage, mais aussi de l'efficacité de l'injection des porteurs de charges à partir des électrodes métalliques. L'ensemble est de plus conditionné par le taux de désordre inhérent aux matériaux organiques. L'approche qui consiste à utiliser la mesure de courants transitoires est extrêmement attractive car elle permet en principe de fournir une information sur tous ces aspects à l'issue d'un seul type de mesure. Dans ce cadre, trois contributions principales peuvent être dégagées de la thèse. 1) Tout d'abord, nous avons validé un montage expérimental qui utilise un amplificateur à transfert d'impédance pour la mesure des courants transitoires limités par la charge d'espace. Ce type de montage s'avère supérieur au circuit de pont électrique le plus largement utilisé jusqu'à maintenant car il présente une meilleure sensibilité en courant, une meilleure bande passante, et ne nécessite aucun réglage ni de la symétrie du pont ni de l'ajustement de la taille de l'échantillon. On a pu démontrer que le pic de courant de déplacement initial, qui sature l'amplificateur au tout début de la mesure n'introduit pas d'erreur dans la mesure de la mobilité. 2) Ensuite concernant l'étude plus spécifique du transport dans un dendrimère à base de tri-arylamine, les réponse en courant obtenues expérimentalement se sont avérées en bon accord avec le modèle de déplacement-diffusion. Cependant, la troisième leçon que nous avons apprise est que l'obtention d'un tel accord a nécessité que soient très bien définies les conditions initiales tant de l'expérience que de la simulation et qu'un modèle théorique le plus complet possible de l'échantillon soit considéré. Pour le dendrimère ce modèle a dû prendre en compte l'effet de la barrière au contact et les effets de piégeage. Un accord encore meilleur a été obtenu en intégrant de surcroit les effets de désordre. 3) La complète impossibilité d'obtenir un bon accord sans un modèle physique complet de l'échantillon indique que les paramètres liés au piégeage, à la barrière au contact et à la mobilité peuvent véritablement être ajustés sans aucune ambigüité. Ainsi, une caractérisation électrique complète en cohérence avec la simulation a pu être obtenue à l'issue d'un seul type de mesures. Les résultats obtenus, alliant à la fois amélioration technique et support numérique, témoignent de la grande utilité de cette technique de mesure de courant transitoire limité par la charge d'espace pour caractériser en détails le transport dans les films minces organiques. / The thesis concerns space-charge-limited transient current measurements in thin (le500 nm) organic films. Such films find important applications in organic electronics, where they are referred to as organic semiconductor layers. Electrical transport in such films depends on bulk charge carrier transport and trapping, as well efficiency of charge carrier injection from electrodes. These, are all in turn depend on disorder inherent to organic materials. The transient measurement approach is very attractive, as it can, in principle, deliver information on all these aspects in one single measurement. In the thesis, three main contributions are presented. 1) A transimpedance amplifier based setup for space-charge-limited current transient measurement is validated. This type of setup is superior to the widely used bridge circuit, notably because of better current sensitivity, bandwidth, no need for bridge symmetry and no need for per sample adjustment. It is demonstrated that initial displacement current spike, which saturates the amplifier at the beginning of measurement, does not introduce error in the measurement of mobility. 2) A dendrimer molecule has been investigated. Experimental current responses are shown to be in agreement with the drift-diffusion model. However, obtaining agreement requires well defined initial conditions in experiment as well as in simulation, and also complete theoretical model of the sample. In the case of dendrimer, this model had to take into account both contact barrier and trapping effects. Furthermore, better agreement was obtained when taking disorder effects into account. 3) The impossibility of obtaining any agreement without complete physical model of the sample indicates that trapping, contact barrier and mobility parameters could be fitted without ambiguity. Therefore, complete electrical characterization consistent with simulation can be obtained using the transient technique. The results obtained further increase well known usefulness of transient space-charge-limited current characterization of thin organic films.
