L'utilisation des techniques de mesure optiques impose un choix, souvent difficile, entre la résolution temporelle et la résolution spatiale. L'interferométrie Speckle (IS) fournit des mesures des champs d'amplitudes de vibration de grande résolution spatiale, mais la résolution temporelle des mesures est réduite par les cadences d'acquisition des détecteurs. La thèse est dédiée au développement d'un système interférométrique adapté à la mesure des vibrations et des phénomènes dynamiques des structures, basé sur les principes de l'IS, mais ayant une résolution temporelle accrue. Le système a été testé à des cadences de plus de 26000 images/s pour les cas suivants : sollicitation harmonique mono-fréquence ou par une forme d'onde arbitraire ; sollicitation dynamique par une séquence d'échelons de force ; choc mécanique. Les essais ont démontré que le système est capable de dépasser les systèmes classiques d'IS à laser continu en ce qui concerne la mesure des phénomènes dynamiques. / The use of optical measurement techniques requires a choice, often difficult, between temporal resolution and spatial resolution. Speckle interferometry (IS) provides high spatial resolution maps of vibration amplitudes, but the temporal resolution of measurements is reduced, due to the low acquisition rates of detectors. The thesis is dedicated to the development of an interferometric system that is able to measure dynamic phenomena with superior temporal resolution. The system was tested at acquisition rates exceeding 26,000 frames/s, for the following cases: harmonic excitation; arbitrary excitation; dynamic loading by a staircase signal and mechanical shock. The tests showed that the system is able to overcome conventional systems of continuous wave SI with respect to the measurement of dynamic phenomena.

<p>Hypersonic flow conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and flow velocity, are challenging to measure on account of the extreme conditions experienced by a craft moving above Mach 5. At Mach 5, the temperature in stratospheric air behind a normal shock wave exceeds temperatures of 1,300 K, and as the craft speed increases, so does the temperature. At these temperatures and conditions, traditional measurement techniques such as thermocouples and pressure transducers either alter the flow path, affecting the measurement, or they do not survive the external conditions. As such, there is interest in investigating alternative ways to measure flow properties. This thesis focuses on the implementation of several optical measurement techniques designed to determine the flow temperature, density gradient, and flow velocity in a detonation driven shock tube. A detonation driven shock tube was chosen for the project as it reliably creates high-speed, low-density, gas flows that are reminiscent of hypersonic conditions. </p><p>The first optical measurement technique implemented was background oriented schlieren, a measurement technique that quantitatively provides density gradient data. Experimental data obtained at pressures up to 3,000 psia resulted in density gradients at the exit of the detonation tube in good agreement with the literature.</p><p>The detonation tube was also fitted with two fiber optic ports to gather chemiluminescence thermometry data. Both a Stellarnet Black-Comet spectrometer and a Sydor Ross 2000 streak camera were used to capture spectroscopic data at these ports, in order to determine the detonation speed and the rotational temperature of the intermediate OH* combustion products. The Stellarnet spectrometer did not have a fast enough data capture rate to gather reliable data. While the streak camera captured data quickly, we had difficulty gathering enough light from the combustion event and the gathered data was very noisy. The streak camera did however capture the time duration of the full combustion event, so if the fiber connector ports are improved this data taking method could be used in the future to gather rotational temperature data. Both measurement techniques provided some unintrusive measurements of high-speed flows, and improvements to the data taking system could provide much needed information on hypersonic flow conditions. </p>

L'évolution des caractéristiques des particules en suspension au cours de leur transfert au sein des bassins versants est encore mal connue. Ceci limite actuellement notre aptitude à prédire correctement l'érosion ou les flux de matières en suspension (MES) et rend difficile la proposition de pratiques de gestion adaptées aux réglementations en vigueur. A partir d'expériences en milieu contrôlé, nous avons montré que les particules de sols ont tendance à se désagréger en milieu turbulent. Il semble de plus qu'une augmentation de la concentration en suspension accélère cette désagrégation et conduise à des particules plus fines. Même si l'évolution des particules à l'échelle horaire semble rester de second ordre derrière les caractéristiques des sols sources, il est indispensable de pouvoir vérifier si les particules en suspension se comportent de la même manière en conditions naturelles où des interactions complexes entre processus peuvent avoir lieu. Cependant l'absence de méthode de mesure permettant le suivi des propriétés de transport des sédiments en écoulements très concentrés (de 1 plusieurs centaines de grammes par litre) dans les bassins élémentaires limite notre capacité à hiérarchiser les processus à considérer pour modéliser le transfert sédimentaire ou améliorer la gestion opérationnelle des sédiments. Afin de répondre à ce besoin instrumental, nous avons développé un Système de Caractérisation des Agrégats et des Flocs (SCAF). Cet instrument est conçu pour être incorporé dans les stations de suivi hydro-sédimentaire. La mesure est réalisée immédiatement après prélèvement d'un échantillon de la suspension à caractériser par une série de capteurs optiques qui suivent l'évolution de l'absorbance optique durant la sédimentation de l'échantillon. Nous proposons une méthode de traitement des données optiques donnant accès à la distribution des vitesses de chute de la suspension ainsi qu'à un indice de floculation qui renseigne sur la capacité des MES à floculer durant leur sédimentation. Les distributions de vitesses de chute mesurées sont validées sur une large gamme de matériaux et de régimes de sédimentation, afin de couvrir la variabilité des types de matériaux et des concentrations observées en milieu naturel. Pour des sédiments non cohésifs ou floculant peu durant leur sédimentation les mesures du SCAF s'ajustent sur celles issues des autres méthodes. Pour les suspensions qui floculent durant leur sédimentation, la plupart des méthodes de mesure classiques conduisent à des vitesses de chute non représentatives de la suspension. Nous avons montré que les variations des propriétés optiques des matières en suspension lors de leur floculation impactent nos mesures. La méthode proposée permet cependant de quantifier l'augmentation des vitesses de chute avec la floculation, et d'encadrer l'incertitude des mesures. Pour les mesures à forte concentration (>10 g/l), un front d'entravement peut se former durant la sédimentation, le SCAF mesurant alors précisément les vitesses de chute du front. La mesure des distributions des vitesses de chute et de la cohésion des particules en suspension peut permettre d'identifier différentes populations de particules formant une suspension (grains de sables, flocs, matières fines...). Le suivi de telles informations au sein de bassins versants ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour aborder la connectivité sédimentaire et s'orienter vers une gestion optimale des flux de MES. / Little is known about the processes that govern the evolution of suspended particle characteristics during their transport through a river basin. This is a main limitation for modelling erosion severity or suspended solids (SS) fluxes. It also leads to difficulties to propose management policies adapted to environmental legislation. Based on experiments in controlled environments, we have shown that soil particles tend to disaggregate in turbulent flows. The increase in SS concentration was associated to an increase of the disaggregation of SS particles, leading to smaller final particle sizes. Laboratory experiments also showed that the variability of the particle sizes due to their evolution over one hour was smaller than the variability due to the soil type from which the particles originated. However it is important to ensure that the suspended particles behave in the same way in natural conditions, where complex interactions between hydraulic, chemical and biological processes can influence their evolution. Up to now no measurement method allows measuring continuously the suspended sediment properties in highly concentrated fluids (from one to hundreds grams per liter), such as those observed in headwater catchments during runoff events. This severely limits the possibility to identify the processes that are important to consider in numerical models. The Aggregate and Floc Characterization System (SCAF) has been developed in order to measure SS properties for a wide range of SS concentrations. It was designed to be easily incorporated into sequential samplers. Immediately after the collection of a sample from the river, the sedimentation of the suspension is recorded by continuous measurements of the absorbance by a series of optical sensors. A method was proposed to processes the raw optical data in order to obtain the settling velocity distribution of the suspension. It also provides a flocculation index representing the tendency of the particles to flocculate during their sedimentation. The calculated settling velocity distributions were validated on a large range of materials and settling regimes in order to cover the natural variability of suspended sediments. For sediments that hardly flocculate during their sedimentation or are non-cohesive, the measurements of the SCAF were similar to those from other methods. In the case of suspensions that strongly flocculate during sedimentation, most of the classical methods give non-representative falling velocities. In this case, the optical property of the particles may vary during settling, affecting the optical measurement. The proposed method allowed quantifying the increase of settling velocity induced by flocculation, and provided confidence intervals for the settling velocities. For high SS concentrations ( > 10 g/l), a settling front can be formed during the sedimentation, which is well characterized by the SCAF. The measurement of the settling velocity distributions and of the flocculation index can be used to identify different particle populations (sand grains, flocs, individual particles) forming a suspension. Monitoring these properties in watersheds offers new insights to explore sediment connectivity within river basins and to optimize water management strategies.

The goal of this master’s thesis was design of the inspection procedure for hammer and trigger of the specific revolver model. Thesis was developed in cooperation with the manufacturer of the revolvers. The theoretical part deals with the MSA methodology, which is used to assess acceptability of measurement systems. The practical part describes the current measurement system and performs gage repeatability and reproducibility study. It was confirmed that the current measurement system requires improvement. Subsequently coordinate systems were designed, based on functional features of the hammer and trigger. Automated optical measurements, based on the coordinate systems, were performed. The results from these measurements were again assessed by the gage R&R study. The analysis confirmed improvement of acceptability of the designed measurement systems. Based on these results, it is recommended to apply suggested procedures in practice. Results and recommendations of this master’s thesis can contribute to develop metrology in the company and improve the existing measurement system.
