Cette thèse porte sur l’étude et l’optimisation aérothermique d’un alterno-démarreur utilisé dans les véhicules hybrides. Ces machines produisant beaucoup plus de puissance qu’un alternateur classique, leur refroidissement est donc critique. La machine est modélisée en utilisant la méthode nodale en régime permanent qui utilise des réseaux de conductances thermiques. Pour alimenter le modèle, on utilise des corrélations issues de la littérature pour modéliser les transferts convectifs et on effectue des calculs CFD de la machine complète pour obtenir la répartition des débits. Les résultats obtenus numériquement sont ensuite validés expérimentalement à l’aide d’essais par Vélocimétrie par Images de Particules et d’essais thermiques par mesure thermocouples. Dans un deuxième temps, on couple un algorithme d’optimisation au code pour obtenir une géométrie de la machine optimale d’un point de vue thermique. La méthode retenue est l’Optimisation par Essaim Particulaire (PSO). L’optimisation se fait sur la taille des têtes de bobines, la position des ventilateurs et la section des canaux rotoriques. On obtient des géométries différentes selon les objectifs que l’on cherche à atteindre. La dernière partie de la thèse porte sur l’optimisation multi-objectifs d’un dissipateur située sur la partie électronique à l’arrière de l’alternateur : le dissipateur doit refroidir le plus possible l’électronique sans pour autant perturber l’écoulement. On étudie aussi plusieurs formes d’ailettes pour atteindre ces objectifs. / The goal of this thesis is the aero-thermal study and optimization of a starter-alternator used in hybrid cars. This kind of machines being more powerful than a regular alternator, their cooling is critical. The machine is modeled using lumped method in steady state which uses networks of thermal conductances. The inputs for the model are obtained using correlations from bibliography for the convective heat transfers and three dimensional CFD for the flow rates inside the machine. The numerical results are validated by experimental results with PIV for the fluid results and a machine fitted with thermocouples for the thermal part. In the second part, the thermal code is coupled with an optimization algorithm to obtain an optimal geometry of the machine from a thermal point of view. The method chosen is Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The parameters are the sizes of the end-windings, the positions of the fans and the cross section of the rotor channels. For different objectives, different optimal geometries are obtained. The last part of this work aims at the multi-objectives optimization of a heat sink located at the back of the machine. The heat sink has to be thermally efficient but should not affect the flow. Different shapes of fins are also studied.

Dans les dernières décennies, la surveillance vibratoire des machines tournantes a acquis un intérêt particulier fournissant une aide efficace pour la maintenance dans l'industrie. Aujourd'hui, de nombreuses techniques efficaces sont bien établies, ancrées sur des outils puissants offerts notamment par la théorie des processus cyclostationnaires. Cependant, toutes ces techniques reposent sur l'hypothèse d’un régime de fonctionnement (c.à.d. vitesse et/ou charge) constant ou éventuellement fluctuant d’une façon stationnaire. Malheureusement, la plupart des machines surveillées dans l'industrie opèrent sous des régimes non stationnaires afin de remplir les tâches pour lesquelles elles ont été conçues. Dans ce cas, ces techniques ne parviennent pas à analyser les signaux vibratoires produits. Ce problème a occupé la communauté scientifique dans la dernière décennie et des techniques sophistiquées de traitement du signal ont été conçues pour faire face à la variabilité du régime. Mais ces tentatives restent limitées, dispersées et généralement peu soutenues par un cadre théorique. Le principal objectif de cette thèse est de combler partiellement cette lacune sur la base d'une formalisation théorique du sujet et d’un développement systématique de nouveaux outils de traitement du signal. Dans ce travail, la non-stationnarité du régime est limitée à celle de la vitesse— c.à.d. vitesse variable et charge constante— supposée connue a priori. Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, la méthodologie adoptée consiste à étendre le cadre cyclostationnaire avec ses outils dédiés. Nous avons élaboré cette stratégie en distinguant deux types de signatures. Le premier type comprend des signaux déterministes connus comme cyclostationnaires au premier ordre. La solution proposée consiste à généraliser la classe cyclostationnaire au premier ordre à la classe cyclo-non-stationnaire au premier ordre qui comprend des signaux déterministes en vitesse variable. Le second type comprend des signaux aléatoires périodiquement corrélés connus comme cyclostationnaires au deuxième ordre. Trois visions différentes mais complémentaires ont été proposées pour traiter les variations induites par la non-stationnarité de la vitesse de fonctionnement. La première adopte une approche cyclostationnaire angle\temps, la seconde une solution basée sur l'enveloppe et la troisième une approche cyclo-non-stationnaire (au second ordre). De nombreux outils ont été conçus dont les performances ont été testées avec succès sur des signaux vibratoires réels et simulés. / In the last decades, vibration-based condition monitoring of rotating machine has gained special interest providing an efficient aid for maintenance in the industry. Nowadays, many efficient techniques are well-established, rooted on powerful tools offered in particular by the theory of cyclostationary processes. However, all these techniques rely on the assump-tion of constant— or possibly fluctuating but stationary— operating regime (i.e. speed and/or load). Unfortunately, most monitored machines used in the industry operate under nonstationary regimes in order to fulfill the task for which they have been designed. In this case, these techniques fail in analyzing the produced vibration signals. This issue, therefore, has occupied the scientific committee in the last decade and some sophisticated signal processing techniques have been conceived to deal with regime variability. But these works remain limited, dispersed and generally not supported by theoretical frameworks. The principal goal of this thesis is to partially fill in this gap on the basis of a theoretical formalization of the subject and a systematic development of new dedicated signal processing tools. In this work, the nonstationarity of the regime is confined to that of the speed— i.e. variable speed and constant load, assumed to be known a priori. In order to reach this goal, the adopted methodology consists in extending the cyclostationary framework together with its dedicated tools. We have elaborated this strategy by distinguishing two types of signatures. The first type includes deterministic waveforms known as first-order cyclostationary. The proposed solution consists in generalizing the first-order cyclostationary class to the more general first-order cyclo-non-stationary class which enfolds speed-varying deterministic signals. The second type includes random periodically-correlated waveforms known as second-order cyclostationary. Three different but complementary visions have been proposed to deal with the changes induced by the nonstationarity of the operating speed. The first one adopts an angle\time cyclostationary approach, the second one adopts an envelope-based solution and the third one adopts a (second-order) cyclo-non-stationary approach. Many tools have been conceived whose performances have been successfully tested on simulated and real vibration signals.

Bien que le diagnostic des roulements par analyse vibratoire soit un domaine très développé, la recherche sur les représentations parcimonieuses des signaux de vibration est encore nouvelle et difficile pour le diagnostic des machines tournantes. Dans cette thèse, de méthodes nouvelles ont été développées, au moyen de différents modèles stochastiques, associées à des algorithmes efficaces afin de servir l’industrie dans le diagnostic des roulements. Tout d’abord, les modèles parcimonieux présentés dans la littérature sont revus. Les principales publications concernant le diagnostic des machines tournantes ont également été considérées. Enfin, en discutant des avantages et des inconvénients des représentations parcimonieuses, une interprétation des structures creuses d’un point de vue Bayésien est proposée, ce qui donne lieu à deux nouveaux modèles de diagnostic des machines tournantes. Dans un second temps, un nouveau modèle stochastique est proposé : il introduit une variable cachée relative à l’apparition d’impacts et estime le contenu spectral des transitoires correspondants ainsi que le spectre du bruit de fond. Cela donne lieu à un algorithme de détection automatique - sans besoin de pré-filtrage manuel - à partir duquel les fréquences de défaut peuvent être révélées. Le même algorithme permet également de filtrer le signal de défaut de manière très efficace par rapport à d’autres approches basées sur l’hypothèse stationnaire. La performance de l’algorithme est étudiée sur des signaux synthétiques. L’efficacité et la robustesse de la méthode sont également vérifiées sur les signaux de vibration mesurés sur un banc d’essai (engrenages et paliers). Les résultats sont meilleurs ou au moins équivalents à ceux de l’analyse d’enveloppes classique et du kurtogramme rapide. Dans un troisième temps, un nouveau schéma pour l’extraction de signaux cyclostationnaires (CS) est proposé. En considérant la variance périodique en tant que variable cachée, un filtre temporel est conçu de manière à obtenir la reconstruction intégrale des signaux CS caractérisés par une fréquence cyclique préétablie, qui peut être connue à priori ou estimée à partir de la corrélation spectrale. Un intérêt particulier de la méthode est sa robustesse lorsqu’elle est appliquée sur des données expérimentales ainsi qu’une capacité d’extraction supérieure par rapport au filtre de Wiener conventionnel. Finalement, ces exemples expérimentaux témoignent de l’utilisation polyvalente de la méthode à des fins de diagnostic de signaux composés. Pour finir, une analyse comparée utilisant le calcul rapide de la corrélation spectrale est réalisée sur une base de données publiquement disponible et largement utilisée. C’est un point crucial qui fixe un défis non-trivial à résoudre. / Although vibration-based rolling element bearing diagnostics is a very well-developed field, the research on sparse representations of vibration signals is yet new and challenging for machine diagnosis. In this thesis, several novel methods have been developed, by means of different stochastic models, associated with their effective algorithms so as to serve the industry in rolling element bearing diagnostics. First, the sparsity-based model (sparse code, in natural image processing) is investigated based on the current literature. The historical background of sparse representations has been inquired in the field of natural scenes. Along three aspects, its mathematical model with corresponding algorithms has been categorized and presented as a fundamental premise; the main publications are therefore surveyed in the literature on machinery fault diagnosis; finally, an interpretation of sparse structure in the Bayesian viewpoint is proposed which then gives rise to two novel models for machinery fault diagnosis. Second, a new stochastic model is introduced to address this issue: it introduces a hidden variable to indicate the occurrence of the impacts and estimates the spectral content of the corresponding transients together with the spectrum of background noise. This gives rise to an automatic detection algorithm – with no need of manual prefiltering as is the case with the envelope spectrum – from which fault frequencies can be revealed. The same algorithm also makes possible to filter out the fault signal in a very efficient way as compared to other approaches based on the stationary assumption. The performance is investigated on synthetic signals with a high noise-to-signal ratio and also in the case of a mixture of two independent transients. The effectiveness and robustness of the method are also verified on vibration signals measured on a test-bench (gears and bearings). Results are found superior or at least equivalent to those of conventional envelope analysis and fast kurtogram. Third, a novel scheme for extracting cyclostationary (CS) signals is proposed. By regularizing the periodic variance as hidden variables, a time-varying filter is designed so as to achieve the full-band reconstruction of CS signals characterized by some pre-set characteristic frequency. Of particular interest is the robustness on experimental data sets and superior extraction capability over the conventional Wiener filter. It not only deals with the bearing fault at an incipient stage, but it even works for the installation problem and the case of two sources, i.e. bearing and gear faults together. Eventually, these experimental examples evidence its versatile usage on diagnostic analysis of compound signals. Fourth, a benchmark analysis by using the fast computation of the spectral correlation is provided. One crucial point is to move forward the benchmark study of the CWRU data set by uncovering its own unique characteristics.

Este trabalho apresenta os avanços no desenvolvimento de um novo método de ensaio não-destrutivo magnético. O método está baseado na técnica do Ruído Magnético de Barkhausen (RMB), particularmente em uma variante denominada Barkhausen Contínuo. O RMB é gerado devido à ação de um campo magnético variável magnetizante que produz mudanças abruptas e irreversíveis na estrutura magnética do material. Essas mudanças são influenciadas pela microestrutura e a distribuição de tensões dentro do mesmo. As medições podem ser usadas para construir uma distribuição bidimensional do RMB ao redor de um ponto fixo, cujo resultado irá refletir o nível de anisotropia magnética, usualmente indicando um eixo de fácil magnetização, parâmetro relevante dado que o comportamento da grande maioria de materiais ferromagnéticos de engenharia é usualmente anisotrópico. As mudanças no eixo de fácil magnetização podem indicar a presença de anomalias mecânicas ou abnormalidades no processo de fabricação e no caso da aplicação de uma tensão externa, podem refletir a magnitude e a direção da mesma. O presente trabalho descreve uma metodologia que faz uso de um campo magnético rotacional para obter sinais RMB relacionados ao angulo de giro, possibilitando a identificação da direção do eixo de fácil magnetização, ultrapassando as capacidades oferecidas pela técnica RMB convencional mediante o fornecimento de informação em tempo real, que permite a obtenção de um conjunto de parâmetros que quantificam a anisotropia magnética de uma amostra. A técnica foi usada para a detecção do eixo de fácil magnetização e o nível de anisotropia magnética em materiais diferentes devida aos efeitos do processo de fabricação. Posteriormente foi demonstrado que a técnica é capaz de monitorar a evolução da tensão uniaxial aplicada, obtendo curvas de calibração, sensíveis ao sentido de aplicação da tensão. Para o caso pouco estudado de amostras submetidas a tensões biaxiais, o uso da técnica do Barkhausen contínuo rotacional fez possível de verificar que as características morfológicas das medições de anisotropia magnética obtidas, guardam relação com a direção das tensões principais. Foi realizada uma avaliação do método aplicado para a medição dinâmica de anisotropia magnética em juntas soldadas, indicando estados de tensão e características microestruturais coerentes com as esperadas. O método tem a possibilidade de ser implementado para medições anisotropia magnética em alta resolução/alta velocidade. / This works presents the current advances on the development of a new method of magnetic non-destructive testing. The method is based on the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN), more specifically in one branch known as Continuous Barkhausen. MBN is produced due to the effect of a variable magnetic field, which causes abrupt and irreversible changes to the magnetic structure of the material. These changes are influenced by the microstructure of the material and the stress distributions within. Measurements can be used to construct a bi dimensional MBN distribution around a fixed point, which in turn will be a reflect of its magnetic anisotropy level, usually characterized by an easy axis of magnetization, an important parameter given that more often than not, the behavior of most engineering ferromagnetic materials is anisotropic. Variations of the easy axis could be the indication of mechanical anomalies or abnormalities that appear as a result of the fabrication process. If there is an external stress applied to the sample, it can provide information about its magnitude and direction. The present work describes a methodology which uses a precise rotating magnetic field in order to obtain MBN signals related to a given magnetization angle, making possible the finding of the easy axis, exceeding the limits of conventional MBN measurements by providing real time data which in turn will allow to infer a set of parameters that quantify the magnetic anisotropy of the sample. The proposed technique was successfully used to find both the easy axis and a quantitative level of magnetic anisotropy between different materials, consequence of the fabrication process. Subsequently, it was shown that the technique was able to perform a monitoring of the evolution of both uniaxial and biaxial applied stress, obtaining linear relationships (uniaxial case), sensitive to the direction of loading. In not so much studied case of biaxial loading, the use of the continuous rotational Barkhausen method made possible to observe that the morphologic characteristics of the magnetic anisotropy measurements bear a close resemblance to the direction of the principal stress field. An evaluation of the technique as a tool for the dynamic measurement of magnetic anisotropy on welded joints, indicating stress states and microstructural features coherent with the ones expected in this scenario. The method has the possibility of being implemented as a technique for high speed/high resolution measurements of magnetic anisotropy.

Dans les accélérateurs de particules de type synchrotron tels que SOLEIL, le faisceau de particules doit répondre à des critères toujours plus exigeants afin d’améliorer les propriétés du rayonnement synchrotron émis. Le comportement du faisceau d’électrons dépend notamment des aimants multipolaires de l’anneau de stockage du synchrotron. Parmi eux, les quadrupôles, qui produisent une induction magnétique quadrupolaire, ont un rôle capital dans la focalisation des particules du faisceau. Certains défauts de fabrication peuvent introduire des décalages dans la position de leur axe magnétique et dans l’orientation transverse de l’induction magnétique, ce qui détériore la qualité de champ. Il est donc nécessaire de quantifier ces défauts et de les corriger. Pour cela, des mesures magnétiques sont mises en œuvre. Le premier chapitre de ce mémoire s’attache principalement à expliciter les tolérances imposées aux quadrupôles de l’anneau de stockage du synchrotron SOLEIL. Dans le second chapitre, les outils théoriques permettant de mettre en œuvre la méthode des bobines tournantes sont présentés. Une modélisation est proposée afin de prévoir les conséquences des défauts des bobines tournantes sur les harmoniques de l’induction magnétique. Une méthode de détection des défauts du banc de mesures est également présentée. Le troisième chapitre est dévolu aux résultats expérimentaux obtenus lors de la mesure des aimants multipolaires (quadrupôles) de l’anneau de stockage de SOLEIL. Dans un dernier chapitre, l’alignement basé sur le faisceau (BBA) des quadrupôles et des sextupôles dans l’anneau de stockage est abordé. Cette étape est indispensable car elle permet de connaître la position du faisceau par rapport à son orbite théorique qui peut être définie comme étant l’axe magnétique des quadrupôles ou l’axe magnétique des sextupôles. Une méthode de BBA est ici validée dans le cas des quadrupôles et une autre est proposée dans le cas des sextupôles / In particle accelerators, more particularly in synchrotrons like SOLEIL, the particle beam is submitted to very strict constraints in order to improve the synchrotron radiation properties. The behaviour of the electron beam depends on the magnetic field distribution along the machine, mainly produced by the multipolar magnets of the storage ring (SR). Among them, the SOLEIL quadrupoles makes the electron beam very sensitive to their magnetic field errors due to some manufacturing defects. In that context, two main parameters are very important concerning the quadrupoles: the magnetic axis location and the magnetic field orientation in the transverse plane. These quantities are to be quantified and corrected by means of magnetic measurements. The first part of this thesis is mainly devoted to the presentation of the quadrupole constraint origin. In that context, the accelerator history and a brief review of the existing magnetic measurement method are presented. In the second chapter, theoretical tools regarding rotating coils are detailed. A model is proposed to simulate the effects of rotating coil defects on the magnetic measurements. Then, to quantify these defects, a method is detailed in order to take them into account during the measurements. A third chapter is devoted to the magnetic measurement bench set up and to the experimental results of the SR multipolar magnet measurements. Finally, the last chapter deals with the beam-based alignment (BBA) of the SR multipoles. A method is validated for quadrupoles and an innovative BBA method is proposed in the case of sextupoles

Two-component fluids can be miscible (if they overlap in space) or immiscible (if they remain phase-separated). In the context of trapped two-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), these miscibility regions can only be fully characterize if one considers the interspecies interaction, the mass ratio and the number of atoms in each species. The dynamics of coupled vortices is different for each miscibility region and exotic vortices configurations (such as, square vortex lattices, \"vortex sheets\", skyrmions, etc.) are expected to occur. In this thesis, we present the construction of a new experimental system able to produce a two-species Bose-Einstein condensate of 23Na-41K atoms with tunable interspecies interactions and study the dynamics of coupled vortices in the different miscibility regimes. The BEC of sodium atoms obtained first in a Plug trap and later, in a crossed optical dipole trap, is fully characterized as well as the cold atomic cloud of potassium atoms produced by means of a Gray molasses cooling procedure. In the crossed optical dipole trap, the vortices will be nucleated with the use of a stirring beam. Therefore, in the end of this thesis, we present the stirring beam setup and its characterization prior aligning it into the 23Na BEC. / Um sistema de dois fluídos pose ser miscível (se os fluídos ocupam a mesma região do espaço) ou imiscível (se eles permanecem separados). No caso de condesados de Bose-Einstein (do inglês, \"Bose-Einstein condensate\" - BEC) de duas espécies atômicas aprisionados, as regiões de miscibilidade só podem ser completamentamente caracterizadas se considerarmos a interção entre as espécies, a razão entre as massas e o número de átomos em cada uma das espécies. A dinâmica de vórices é diferente para cada região de miscibilidade possibilitando a obtenção de configurações exóticas de vórtices (como, a produção de redes de vórtices quadradas, de folhas de vórtices (do inglês, \"vortex sheets\"), skyrmions, etc.). Nesta tese, apresentamos a construção de um novo sistema experimental capaz de produzir um condensado de Bose-Einstein de duas espécies atômicas, 23Na-41K, com interação variável e estudar a dinâmica de vórtices em diferentes regimes de miscibilidade. O condensado de átomos de sódio, inicialmente obtido na armadilha Plug e depois, em uma armadilha ótica cruzada, é completamentamente caracterizado assim como a nuvem atômica ultra-fria produzida a partir da técnica de molasses cinza (do inglês, \"Gray molasses\"). Na armadilha ótica, os vórtices serão produzidos a partir da utilização de um feixe de laser denominado stirring. Assim, ao final da tese, apresentamos o esquema ótico para a produção deste feixe de laser e a sua caracterização antes de alinhá-lo nos átomos.

Apresentamos neste trabalho algumas propriedades do transporte de cargas de heteroestruturas contendo pontos-quânticos. Três tópicos foram explorados: no primeiro, observamos um comportamento anômalo nos platôs do efeito Hall quântico, que atribuímos à existência de estados de borda contra-rotativos; no segundo, determinamos o tempo de decoerência do sistema bidimensional de elétrons em função do estágio evolutivo de pontos-quânticos de InAs autoformados nas suas proximidades. Concluímos que a tensão mecânica acumulada durante o crescimento epitaxial \"congela\" os elétrons, reduzindo a taxa de decoerência; finalmente, testamos algumas das possíveis configurações de heteroestruturas visando a construção de fotodetectores baseados em pontos-quânticos. Observamos que a repetição da região-ativa pode ser utilizada como um parâmetro no controle das mobilidades quânticas e, por conseguinte, das propriedades de operação desses detectores. / In this work we present transport properties of heterostructures with quantum-dots. Three subjects were exploited: on the first one, we observed anomalous quantum Hall plateaus, for wich we attributed to the existence of counter-rotating edge-states; on the second subject, we determined the decoherence time of the bidimensional electron system as a function of the evolutionary stage of nearby self-assembled quantum-dots. We concluded the mechanical stress accumulated during the epitaxial growth \"freezes\" the electrons, reducing the decoherence rate; finally, we tested some base-heterostructures of infrared photodetectors. We observed the stacking of active-regions can be used as a parameter to control quantum-mobilities and, as a consequence, the operation properties of such detectors.

Au cœur des moyens de transport, de transformation d'énergie, et de biens d'équipements, les machines tournantes peuvent avoir des comportements dynamiques complexes dus à de multiples sources de non linéarités liées aux paliers hydrodynamiques, à la présence de fissures, aux touches rotor-stator, ... Des phénomènes comme les décalages fréquentiels et donc de vitesses critiques, les cycles d'hystérésis avec sauts d'amplitudes, le changement brutal du contenu fréquentiel des réponses, sont des expressions de ces comportements. Résoudre les équations du mouvement induites par des modélisations avec des éléments finis de type poutre ou volumique, pour calculer les réponses à des sollicitations diverses (comme le balourd ou le poids propre), est réalisable avec des méthodes d'intégration pas à pas dans le temps mais au prix de temps de calcul prohibitifs. Cela devient particulièrement préjudiciable au stade du pré-dimensionnement où il est nécessaire de réaliser rapidement des études paramétriques. Aussi une alternative intéressante est de mettre en {\oe}uvre une méthode numérique, à la fois générale et efficace pour analyser la réponse non linéaire des rotors en régime stationnaire. La démarche proposée combine, dans un premier temps, la méthode de la balance harmonique (HBM) et la technique de bascule Temps-Fréquence (AFT) afin d'obtenir rapidement dans le domaine fréquentiel les réponses périodiques des rotors à grand nombre de degrés de liberté apportés par les éléments finis volumiques. Puis, l'association à la méthode de continuation par pseudo-longueur d'arc aboutit à établir continûment l'ensemble des solutions d'équilibre dynamique sur la plage de vitesse de rotation. Enfin la stabilité dynamique locale de la solution périodique est analysée grâce à des indicateurs de bifurcation basés sur l'évolution des exposants de Floquet. Ainsi sont détectées les bifurcations de branches de solutions périodiques de type point limite, point de branchement et notamment Neimark-Sacker. Leur localisation est déterminée précisément en résolvant un système augmenté constitué de l'équation du mouvement et d'une équation supplémentaire caractérisant le type de bifurcation considéré. En déclarant un paramètre du système (coefficient de frottement, jeu rotor/stator, amplitude de l'excitation,...) comme nouvelle variable, l'utilisation de la technique de continuation conjointement avec le système augmenté détermine directement le cheminement des bifurcations en fonction de ce paramètre sur la nappe des réponses non linéaires. Les suivis de bifurcations délimitent les zones de fonctionnement spécifiques, extraient efficacement l'essentiel du comportement dynamique et offrent ainsi une nouvelle approche pour dimensionner de façon efficace les systèmes notamment en rotation. Nombre des développements réalisés sont implantés dans le code de calcul Cast3M. / Generally speaking, the rotating systems utilized in the energy production have a small rotor-stator gap, are able to run during long periods, and are mounted on hydrodynamic bearings. Rotor-stator interactions in case of blade loss, crack propagation due to fatigue, and a variable stiffness due to the nonlinear restoring forces of the bearings can make the rotordynamics nonlinear and the responses complicated: significant amplitude and frequency shifts are introduced, sub- and super-harmonics appear, and hysteresis occurs. It is of great importance to understand, predict and control this complicated dynamics. Due to the large number of DOFs and the broad range of study frequency, the computation time for solving the equations of motion by a temporal integration method can be quite prohibitive. It becomes particularly disadvantageous at the design stage where a parametrical study need to be quickly performed. An alternative numerical method, which is general and effective at the same time, is proposed in order to analyse the nonlinear response of the rotors at steady state. Firstly, the periodic responses of nonlinear rotors are calculated in the frequency domain by combining harmonic balance method (HBM) and alternating frequency-time (AFT). With the help of continuation method, all dynamic equilibrium solutions of nonlinear systems are determined for the range of study frequency. Then, Floquet exponents which are the eigenvalues of Jacobian are sought for stability analysis of periodic solutions. Then the local stability of the periodic solution is analysed through the bifurcation indicators which are based on the evolution of Floquet exponents. The bifurcations of periodic solution branch, such as limit point, branch point, and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, are thus detected. By declaring a system parameter (friction coefficient, rotor / stator gap, excitation amplitude, ...) as a new variable, applying once again the continuation method to the augmented system determines directly the bifurcation's evolution as a function of this parameter. Thus, parametric analysis of the nonlinear dynamic behaviour is achieved, the stability boundary or the regime change boundary is directly determined. Numerous developments are implemented in the calculation code Cast3M.

Este trabalho trata de um estudo experimental das respostas de desgaste e de atrito encontradas em um sistema deslizante lubrificado. Para tanto, foram realizados ensaios de deslizamento em um equipamento para ensaios de desgaste, adotando-se o dispositivo pino-contra-disco, para ensaios com movimento relativo rotativo contínuo entre as amostras, e o dispositivo pino-contra-placa, para ensaios com movimento relativo alternado, ou oscilatório, entre as amostras. Os materiais metálicos ensaiados foram pinos de aço AISI 52100 e contra-corpos de aço AISI 8640. O óleo lubrificante foi o mineral de base parafínico, IV 100. Foram variadas as condições de aditivação e de contaminação do óleo lubrificante e foram utilizados dois níveis de carregamento mecânico, determinada pela relação velocidade/carga. O desgaste foi estudado por microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura, medição da área afetada pelo desgaste, perfilometria das superfícies desgastadas e análise de óleo. O atrito e o potencial de contato foram monitorados ao longo dos ensaios. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o desgaste dos corpos metálicos foi sensível ao carregamento mecânico, à aditivação e à contaminação do óleo. Diferenças foram notadas nas morfologias superficiais entre os resultados de desgaste dos ensaios rotativos e oscilatórios. / This work concerns with experimental study of wear and friction responses of lubricated sliding system. Sliding tests were carried out using pin-on-disk wear testing machine for tests with continuous rotating movement, and the pin-on-plate device, for reciprocating tests between specimens. The metallic test coupons were AISI 52100 steel pins and AISI 8640 steel counter-faces. The used lubricant was paraffinic mineral oil, VI 100. The presence of additives and contamination in the lubricant oil were investigated under two mechanical loading levels, determined by the velocity/load relation. The wear was studied by means of optic and scanning electronic microscopes, perfilometry and dimensional analysis of the worn surfaces and oil analysis. The friction and the contact potential were monitored through out the sliding tests. The results showed that the wear of the metallic materials was susceptible to the mechanical loading, the additive and the contamination existence in the oil. It was observed differences among the wear results of the rotating and the reciprocating tests in terms of surface morphologies.

Para auxiliar na nitrificação do nitrogênio amoniacal foi utilizado glicerina como fonte externa de carbono. O monitoramento da unidade experimental foi dividido em três etapas: Etapa 1 consistiu no uso de três estágios do CBR, com alimentação de 5,1 L/h, TDH de 24 hs e 12 RPM, Etapa 2 com as mesmas condições hidráulicas e a introdução da recirculação de 1,32 L/h do efluente para um estágio localizado antes do Estágio 1, e Etapa 3 que operou com as mesmas condições da Etapa 2, mais a adição de glicerina na razão 4,2 DQO:N no estágio 1 (entrada). O monitoramento dos seguintes parâmetros ocorreu semanalmente: alcalinidade, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, demanda química de oxigênio, oxigênio dissolvido, pH, carbono inorgânico, carbono orgânico e carbono orgânico total, nitrogênio amoniacal, nitritos, nitratos, sólidos totais, sólidos suspensos totais, fixos e voláteis e fosfato. Esta abordagem buscou avaliar o desempenho do CBR no tratamento de lixiviado de aterro sanitário com baixa relação DBO5:DQO, visando a nitrificação do nitrogênio amoniacal e redução da matéria orgânica carbonácea. Durante o monitoramento da Etapa 1 foi observado acúmulo de nitritos e baixa produção de nitratos. O consumo de nitrogênio amoniacal foi de 682±274 mg N/L, DQO 335±925 mg O2/L e DBO568±106 mg O2/L. Na Etapa 2 o consumo de alcalinidade aumentou, porém ainda observou-se acúmulo de nitritos. A produção de nitratos aumentou em relação à Etapa 1, o consumo de nitrogênio amoniacal foi de 1.182±367 mg N/L, DQO 2.365±2.273 mg O2/L e DBO5510±90 mg O2/L. No monitoramento da Etapa 3, a adição de glicerina possibilitou um aumento na produção de nitratos, observando-se aumento significativo de sua concentração. O consumo de nitrogênio amoniacal foi de 742 ±139 mg N/L, DQO 1.558±558 mg O2/L e DBO5421±162 mg O2/L. No decorrer do monitoramento das Etapas pode-se observar que a glicerina e a recirculação auxiliaram na produção das bactérias oxidadoras de nitritos, porém ainda não o suficiente para a nitrificação completa do nitrogênio amoniacal afluente. / This research proposes the use of a rotating biological contactor (CBR) with 4 stages in the treatment of landfill leachate seeking the removal of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen. To help nitrification of ammonium nitrogen was usedas external carbon source glycerol. The monitoring of the experimental unit was divided into three steps: Step 1 consisted of three stages with power of 5.1 L/h, TDH 24 hours and 12 RPM, Step 2 with the same hydraulic conditions and the introduction of recirculation of1.32 L/h the effluent to a stage located before the stage 1, Step 3 and which was operated with the same conditions as Step 2 plus the addition of glycerin in the ratio 4.2 COD:N in the first stage (input). The monitoring of the following parameters occurred weekly: alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, pH, inorganic carbon, organic carbon and total organic carbon, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, total solids, solid, fixed and volatile and phosphate. This approach sought to evaluate the performance of RBC for the treatment of landfill leachate with a low BOD:COD, aiming nitrification of ammonia nitrogen and reduction of residual carbonaceous organic matter. During monitoring of Step 1 accumulation of nitrite and low nitrate production was observed, the consumption of ammonia nitrogen was 682±274 mg N/L, COD 335±925 mg O2/L and BOD 68±106 mg O2 /L. In Step 2 the consumption of alkalinity increased, but still there was accumulation of nitrite, nitrate production increased compared to Step 1, the consumption of ammonia nitrogen was 1.182±367 mg N/L, COD 2.365±2.273 mg O2/ L and BOD 90±510 mg O2/ L. Already, in the monitoring of Step 3, the addition of glycerin assited produce nitrates occurring significant increase in their concentrations, the presence of significant concentrations of nitrites, ammonia nitrogen consumption was 742±139 mg N/L, COD 1,558±558 mg O2/ L and BOD5 421±162 mg O2/ L. In the course of monitoring steps may be notedthat the recirculation glycerin supported in the production of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, but still not enough for complete nitrification.
