[pt] AVALIAÇÃO METROLÓGICA DE MÉTODOS DE CALIBRAÇÃO DE TRANSDUTORES PIEZOELÉTRICOS DE ALTA PRESSÃO APLICADOS A ENSAIOS BALÍSTICOS DE MUNIÇÕES LEVES / [en] METROLOGICAL EVALUATION OF CALIBRATION METHODS OF HIGH PRESSURE PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS APPLIED TO BALLISTIC TESTS OF SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION

CAIO BITTENCOURT CARDOSO FELIX 15 July 2024 (has links)
[pt] Os procedimentos de calibração de transdutores piezoelétricos, abordados pela base normativa de ensaios de munições leves, carecem de detalhes cruciais para assegurar a confiabilidade metrológica nas medições de pressão transiente dessas munições leves. Diante deste fato, cabe aos laboratórios, como requisito para a acreditação segundo a norma ISO/IEC 17025:2017, comprovarem a eficácia dos métodos empregados, sobretudo nas calibrações, o que motivou a realização do estudo. A abordagem metodológica baseou-se em pesquisas bibliográficas, documentais, experimentais e de laboratório, visando a coleta de dados conforme as etapas de avaliação dos métodos de calibração. Inicialmente realizou-se a avaliação de certificados de calibração de transdutores piezoelétricos, estudando, sobretudo, as características da regressão linear adotada pela base normativa nos procedimentos de calibração. Nesta etapa, a pesquisa propôs a adoção da incerteza do ajuste como parâmetro principal de avaliação de transdutores piezoelétricos, mostrando sua viabilidade em relação ao erro de linearidade. Em seguida, foi realizada a caracterização e modelagem da cadeia de medição de pressão transiente, composta por transdutor piezoelétrico e amplificador de carga. A modelagem permitiu a simulação de diferentes metodologias de calibração, resultando na previsão de erros, e proporcionando a avaliação da influência do amplificador de carga nas medições de pressão transiente. Por último, foram comparadas duas metodologias distintas de calibração, destacando a importância de sistemas automatizados de calibração para maior confiabilidade metrológica. / [en] The calibration procedures of piezoelectric transducers, addressed by the normative basis of small arms ammunition testing, lack crucial details to ensure metrological reliability in the transient pressure measurements of these small arms munitions. In view of this fact, it is up to the laboratories, as a requirement for accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, to prove the effectiveness of the methods used, especially in calibrations, which motivated the study. The methodological approach was based on bibliographic, documentary, experimental and laboratory research, aiming at data collection according to the stages of evaluation of calibration methods. Initially, the evaluation of calibration certificates of piezoelectric transducers was carried out, studying, above all, the characteristics of the linear regression adopted by the normative basis in the calibration procedures. At this stage, the research proposed the adoption of fit uncertainty as the main parameter for the evaluation of piezoelectric transducers, showing their feasibility in relation to linearity error. Then, the characterization and modeling of the transient pressure measurement chain, composed of a piezoelectric transducer and a charge amplifier, was performed. The modeling allowed the simulation of different calibration methodologies, resulting in the prediction of errors, and providing the evaluation of the influence of the charge amplifier on transient pressure measurements. Finally, two different calibration methodologies were compared, highlighting the importance of automated calibration systems for greater metrological reliability.

Toward an energy harvester for leadless pacemakers / Vers un récupérateur d'énergie pour stimulateur intracardiaque

Deterre, Martin 09 July 2013 (has links)
Ce travail consiste à développer un système convertissant une partie de l’énergie mécanique du cœur en électricité pour alimenter les stimulateurs cardiaques de nouvelle génération, implants sans sonde ni batteries implantés directement dans la cavité cardiaque. Après études de différentes sources d’énergies et concept associés, l’option liée à la pression sanguine, appliquant sur une partie souple du boîtier de l’implant des efforts transmis à un transducteur interne les convertissant en électricité, s’est révélée la plus prometteuse. Cette solution présente les avantages principaux suivants par rapport aux systèmes inertiels usuels : grande densité de puissance, adaptabilité au rythme cardiaque et potentiel de miniaturisation. Un boîtier ultra-souple électro-déposé de 10 µm d’épaisseur en forme de soufflet a été modélisé, fabriqué et caractérisé, validant ainsi le concept de récupérateur proposé. Un transducteur électrostatique novateur (3D multicouche à peignes interdigités et à chevauchement hors-plan), étudié par des modélisations analytiques et numériques, est en cours de fabrication. Selon l’électronique associée, ce transducteur promet une grande densité d’énergie extraite. Un transducteur piézoélectrique micro-usiné en forme de spirale et à électrodes micro-structurées, est également présenté. Les défis spécifiques des spirales dontla flexibilité permet d’augmenter l’énergie mécanique d’entrée sont étudiés notamment par simulation numériques, et des prototypes ont été micro-fabriqués et caractérisés. Au final, une énergie de 3 µJ/cm3/cycle est obtenue et de nombreuses perspectives d’amélioration permettent d’envisager une puissance au moins 10 fois supérieure. / This work consists in the development and design of an energy harvesting device to supply power to the new generation pacemakers, miniaturized leadless implants without battery placed directly in heart chambers. After analyzing different mechanical energy sources in the cardiac environment and associated energy harvesting mechanisms, a concept based on regular blood pressure variation stood out: an implant with a flexible packaging that transmits blood forces to an internal transducer. Advantages compared to traditional inertial scavengers are mainly: greater power density, adaptability to heartbeat frequency changes and miniaturization potential. Ultra-flexible 10-µm thin metal bellows have been designed, fabricated and tested. These prototypes acting as implant packaging that deforms under blood pressure actuation have validated the proposed harvesting concept. A new type of electrostatic transducer (3D multi-layer out-of-plane overlap structure with interdigitated combs) has been introduced and fully analyzed. Promising numerical results and associated fabrication processes are presented. Also, large stroke optimized piezoelectric spiral transducers including their complex electrodes patterns have been studied through a design analysis, numerical simulations, prototype fabrication and experimental testing. Apower density of 3 µJ/cm3/cycle has been experimentally achieved. With further addressed developments, the proposed device should provide enough energy to power autonomously and virtually perpetually the next generation of pacemakers.

La conception d'un système ultrasonore passif couche mince pour l'évaluation de l'état vibratoire des cordes vocales / A speaker recognition system based on vocal cords’ vibrations

Ishak, Dany 19 December 2017 (has links)
Dans ce travail, une approche de reconnaissance de l’orateur en utilisant un microphone de contact est développée et présentée. L'élément passif de contact est construit à partir d'un matériau piézoélectrique. La position du transducteur piézoélectrique sur le cou de l'individu peut affecter grandement la qualité du signal recueilli et par conséquent les informations qui en sont extraites. Ainsi, le milieu multicouche dans lequel les vibrations des cordes vocales se propagent avant d'être détectées par le transducteur est modélisé. Le meilleur emplacement sur le cou de l’individu pour attacher un élément transducteur particulier est déterminé en mettant en œuvre des techniques de simulation Monte Carlo et, par conséquent, les résultats de la simulation sont vérifiés en utilisant des expériences réelles. La reconnaissance est basée sur le signal généré par les vibrations des cordes vocales lorsqu'un individu parle et non sur le signal vocal à la sortie des lèvres qui est influencé par les résonances dans le conduit vocal. Par conséquent, en raison de la nature variable du signal recueilli, l'analyse a été effectuée en appliquant la technique de transformation de Fourier à court terme pour décomposer le signal en ses composantes de fréquence. Ces fréquences représentent les vibrations des cordes vocales (50-1000 Hz). Les caractéristiques en termes d'intervalle de fréquences sont extraites du spectrogramme résultant. Ensuite, un vecteur 1-D est formé à des fins d'identification. L'identification de l’orateur est effectuée en utilisant deux critères d'évaluation qui sont la mesure de la similarité de corrélation et l'analyse en composantes principales (ACP) en conjonction avec la distance euclidienne. Les résultats montrent qu'un pourcentage élevé de reconnaissance est atteint et que la performance est bien meilleure que de nombreuses techniques existantes dans la littérature. / In this work, a speaker recognition approach using a contact microphone is developed and presented. The contact passive element is constructed from a piezoelectric material. In this context, the position of the piezoelectric transducer on the individual’s neck may greatly affect the quality of the collected signal and consequently the information extracted from it. Thus, the multilayered medium in which the sound propagates before being detected by the transducer is modeled. The best location on the individual’ neck to place a particular transducer element is determined by implementing Monte Carlo simulation techniques and consequently, the simulation results are verified using real experiments. The recognition is based on the signal generated from the vocal cords’ vibrations when an individual is speaking and not on the vocal signal at the output of the lips that is influenced by the resonances in the vocal tract. Therefore, due to the varying nature of the collected signal, the analysis was performed by applying the Short Term Fourier Transform technique to decompose the signal into its frequency components. These frequencies represent the vocal folds’ vibrations (50-1000 Hz). The features in terms of frequencies’ interval are extracted from the resulting spectrogram. Then, a 1-D vector is formed for identification purposes. The identification of the speaker is performed using two evaluation criteria, namely, the correlation similarity measure and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in conjunction with the Euclidean distance. The results show that a high percentage of recognition is achieved and the performance is much better than many existing techniques in the literature.
