Modelagem e visualização de microestruturas digitais de materiais policristalinos monofásicos / Three-dimensional modelling and visualization of digital single-phase polycrystalline materials microstructures

Rodrigues, Andre Montes 16 May 2014 (has links)
Neste trabalho se buscou criar uma base tecnológica para síntese digital e visualização virtual de microestruturas de materiais policristalinos monofásicos, visando disponibilizar software e metodologias de baixo custo aos pesquisadores da área ou de áreas correlatas. Para isso foram levantados e testados métodos, sistemas, bibliotecas e algoritmos computacionais pertinentes ao problema em questão. A técnica de síntese escolhida adotou uma simulação física de empacotamento de partículas seguida por tesselação espacial baseada no diagrama Voronoi. Para testar a abordagem uma amostra de um material real foi reconstituída digitalmente. O modelo reproduziu com grande precisão a distribuição de tamanhos de grão, o número de faces por grão e o número de vizinhos imediatos da referência. Na frente de visualização virtual buscou-se definir um modelo capaz de lidar com grandes quantidades de dados e baseado em princípios cognitivos sólidos, que permitisse maior extração de conhecimento de modelos microestruturais. A técnica de visualização em múltiplas escalas foi considerada a mais apropriada aos modelos cujos objetos e detalhes abrangem diversas escalas espaciais, permitindo ao computador lidar com vastas quantidades de dados ao alternar entre qualidade e quantidade no processo de geração de imagens. Técnicas de visualização tradicionais também foram testadas e a técnica de corte se mostrou fundamental, principalmente para a exploração direta do interior do modelo, mas também para a extração de dados voltados a análise microestrutural estereológica. / The main goal of this work is to create a technological foundation for digital synthesis and virtual visualization of single-phase polycrystalline materials microstrutures, aiming to offer low cost software and methodologies to materials science researchers and alike. Several methods, applications, libraries and algorithms were tested and the most appropriate were selected for further exploration. The chosen microstructural synthesis technique uses newtonian particle packing simulation, followed by a Voronoi-based tesselation. This simple approach were put to test using a real material sample. The sample were digitally built and meaningfull parameters like grain size distribution, edges per face and mean number of neighbours were replicated with acceptable precision. Regarding visualization, the most relevant issue was the specification of a computationally scalable method based on proven cognitive principles, capable to deal with a huge amount of information and to support efficient knowledge extraction from microstructural models. The multiscale approach has proved to be the most suited for models that spans several scales in space, allowing computers to store and display large quantities of data and to manage the tradeoff between quality and quantity in the rendering process. Traditional visualization techniques were tested as well and section visualization has proved to be paramount for internal model visualization, as it is for stereological microstructural analysis.

No. of bitstreams: 1 2717.pdf: 1036198 bytes, checksum: 1ebaa6889e2e06b8855d55db6f41cfc0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-11-27 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / In this work we present a bayesian approach for the survival model with cure rate in the presence of covariates. In this perspective, the modelling is a direct extension of the long-term model of (Chen et al., 1999). This model is considered flexible in the sense that the effects of the covariates are measured locally using the bayesian partition model developed by Holmes et al. (1999). The bayesian partition model is a generic approach to problems of classification and regression where the space of covariates is divided in disjoint regions defined by a structure of tessellation. The extension to modelling local maintains the structure of the proportional hazards model that it is intrinsic of the long-term model(promotion time) (Rodrigues et al., 2009a). Application of this theory appears in several areas, for example in finance, biology, engineering, economics and medicine. We present a simulation study and apply the methodology to a set of data on the clinical studies. / Neste trabalho apresentamos uma abordagem bayesiana para modelos de sobrevivência com fração de cura na presença de covariáveis. Nesta perspectiva, a modelagem é uma extensão direta do modelo de longa duração (Chen et al., 1999). Este modelo é considerado flexível no sentido de que os efeitos das covariáveis são medidos localmente, utilizando o modelo de partição bayesiana desenvolvido por Holmes et al. (1999). O modelo de partição bayesiana é uma abordagem genérica para problemas de classificação e regressão, em que o espaço das covariáveis é dividido em regiões disjuntas definidas por uma estrutura de tesselação. A extensão para modelagem local mantém a estrutura de riscos proporcionais, que é intrínseca ao modelo de longa duração (tempo de promoção) (Rodrigues et al., 2009a). Aplicações desta teoria aparecem em várias áreas, como por exemplo, em Finanças, Biologia, Engenharia, Economia e Medicina. Neste trabalho, apresentamos um estudo de simulação e aplicamos a metodologia a um conjunto de dados na área de estudos clínicos.

Prédiction des résidus impliqués dans le noyau du repliement et classification structurale de fragments protéiques en interaction.

Prudhomme, Nicolas 09 November 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Nous avons développé un algorithme de prédiction des résidus impliqués dans le noyau du repliement par des approches couplées. La prédiction des Most Interacting Residues (MIR) est associée aux méthodes d'analyse structurale par fragments, les Tightened End Fragments (TEF) et d'alignement multiple. Cet algorithme a été développé sur une banque de protéines à faible identité en séquence appartenant à une famille bien documentée, les immunoglobulines. Les résultats obtenus sont comparés à ceux produits par d'autres techniques similaires, mais aussi à ceux provenant d'études expérimentales. Comme résultat nous avons pu voir qu'il existe une bonne corrélation entre les résidus prédits par notre méthode et les données expérimentales. Dans une deuxième partie, nous avons généré une banque de multimères biologiques dans le but de développer un outil de prédiction de la structure quaternaire. La banque est validée par le programme DiMoVo utilisant la représentation des protéines par tesselation de Voronoï. Afin d'analyser les modes d'interaction entre domaines, les différents complexes ont été découpés en fragments par la méthode des Tightened End Fragments. Nous avons développé un algorithme permettant d'inclure chaque fragment dans un cylindre, afin de pouvoir caractériser le fragment par une hauteur et un rayon. Ces fragments ont ensuite été classés sur ces critères structuraux et les interactions de différentes classes de fragments au sein des interfaces protéines-protéines ont été comptabilisées. On observe que les classes ne sont pas utilisées de façon homogène dans les interactions protéines-protéines.

A framework for spatio-temporal querying amongst mobile devices

Cochran, Benjamin Mark, 1982- 13 August 2012 (has links)
With mobile web browsers holding around eight percent of the global browser market share in terms of usage, web development for these platforms is becoming critically important as usage moves from the desktop towards mobile devices. Recent advances in client side browser technology like HTML5 and WebSockets have allowed web browser applications to approach feature parity with thick client desktop applications. This paper explores the possibility of a real-time online multiplayer game playable from just a mobile device's web browser. It does not focus on gameplay or graphics, rather it focuses on the backend infrastructure needed to support such a game. The framework devised to support this sort of interaction, Marionette, is well suited towards addressing sharing of location-specific, short-lived information between people using their smartphones without the use of any external software or proprietary software packages on the client side. / text

Modélisation numérique de la diffusion-corrosion des alliages de zirconium / Finite element modeling of zirconium-based alloys corrosion

Zumpicchiat, Guillaume 16 December 2015 (has links)
Dans les réacteurs à Eau Pressurisée (REP), les pastilles d’uranium sont isolées de l’eau du circuit primaire par des gaines en alliages de zirconium (Zy-4, M5, ZIRLO). Ces gaines jouent un rôle crucial en termes de sureté car elles sont la première barrière de confinement des produits de fission. En conditions nominales d’utilisation, la corrosion des gaines induite par l’environnement du circuit primaire (320 °C, 155 bars, présence de lithium et de bore) se traduit par l’oxydation du zirconium et la formation de phases fragiles d’hydrures de zirconium sous l’interface oxyde/métal. Ces phénomènes couplés affectent la tenue mécanique de la gaine et, in fine, limitent la durée de vie des assemblages combustibles en réacteur (~ 5 ans). Ce travail vise à mieux comprendre le phénomène de corrosion des alliages de zirconium.Dans un premier temps, une modélisation par éléments finis de la diffusion-corrosion du Zircaloy-4 a été réalisée pour simuler la cinétique d’oxydation observée expérimentalement. Le modèle analytique de Wagner prédit une évolution de l’épaisseur d’oxyde proportionnelle à la racine carrée du temps (régime parabolique). En pratique, la cinétique d’oxydation du Zircaloy-4 en autoclave s’écarte de la loi parabolique et est quasiment cubique. Plusieurs phénomènes sont susceptibles d’expliquer cette différence entre la cinétique expérimentale et le modèle analytique, notamment la présence de fortes contraintes de compression au sein de la couche d’oxyde. La prise en compte dans la modélisation de l’effet des contraintes sur la diffusion de l’oxygène permet de simuler et d’expliquer cet écart à la loi parabolique.Dans un second temps, nous avons simulé par éléments finis la diffusion de l’oxygène à travers une couche polycristalline de zircone. Les grains de zircone sont modélisés par un agrégat de polyèdres de Voronoï. Un espace entre les polyèdres est également maillé pour modéliser les joints de grains. Ces échantillons numériques ont été utilisés pour étudier l’effet de la microstructure et de la microtexture des couches de zircone sur la diffusion de l'oxygène. Les simulations sont nourries par les données expérimentales obtenues sur des lames minces de zircone formées sur Zircaloy-4 et hydrure de zirconium. / In Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), zirconium-based alloy cladding tubes are immersed in high pressure water containing boron (1000 wt. boron) and lithium (2 wt. ppm) at high temperature (320 °C). The corrosion induced by this environment is mainly due to the oxidation of the zirconium which transforms in zirconia. This phenomenon is one of the limiting factors of the in-pile fuel rod lifetime (~ 5 years). Therefore, it is important to predict the corrosion process of zirconium based alloys in PWR conditions. Zirconium-based alloys oxidation is sub-parabolic inlike the Wagner theory which predicts a parabolic kinetics. Two finite element models were developed to simulate this phenomenon : the diffuse interface model and the sharp interface model. Both simulate parabolic oxidation kinetics. The growth stress effects on oxygen diffusion were studied to explain the gap between theory and experience. Taking into account the influence of the hydrostatic stress and its gradient into the oxygen flux expression, sub-parabolic oxidation kinetics were simulated. The sub-parabolic behavior of the oxidation kinetics can be explained by a non-uniform compressive stress level into the oxide layer. Simulations of oxygen diffusion throught polycristalline layer of zirconia were performed. Zirconia grains are modelled by Voronoï tesselation and a space between grains is meshed to model grain boundaries. These numerical samples are used to study the effect of zirconia microstructure and microtexture on oxygen diffusion. Experimental data from thin foils of zirconia formed on Zircaloy-4 and zirconium hydrure are used in the simulations.
