    Even if the mechanical performances of composite materials give new perspectives for the aircraft and space design, the variability of their behavior, linked to the presence of initial microscopic defects or led in service, constitute however a still important brake in their development. As regards particularly the response to fatigue loads or ageing, the behavior of these materials is affected by several sources of uncertainties, notably on the nature of the physical mechanisms of degradation, which are translated by a strong dispersion in life time. In aerospace industry, low energy impact phenomenon is not well known concerning composite materials and composite structures. Many manufacturers use important safety factors to design structures. The aim of this work is to define the most predominant parameters which permit a good response of damage using experiences plans. The differences of these parameters by using Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) or Liquid Resin Infusion (LRI) process than prepreg one is also studied in this work

    Robust algorithm for calibration of robotic manipulator model

    Get PDF
    The paper focuses on the robust identification of geometrical and elastostatic parameters of robotic manipulator. The main attention is paid to the efficiency improvement of the identification algorithm. To increase the identification accuracy, it is proposed to apply the weighted least square technique that employs a new algorithm for assigning of the weighting coefficients. The latter allows taking into account variation of the measurement system precision in different directions and throughout the robot workspace. The advantages of the proposed approach are illustrated by an application example that deals with the elasto-static calibration of industrial robot.AN

    Comparaison entre quatre solutions pour échanger de l'énergie entre systÚmes de forte capacité de stockage

    Get PDF
    International audienceL'électrification de systÚmes toujours plus puissants est habituellement corrélée à de plus grands besoins de fiabilité, continuité de service et échanges d'énergie entre sources. Dans le domaine des systÚmes de stockage électrochimique d'énergie, ces besoins sont souvent satisfaits en parallélisant des batteries. La déconnexion de deux batteries en parallÚle est un processus simple et bien maßtrisé. En revanche, la connexion est un processus bien plus long et compliqué qui requiÚre de l'électronique de puissance adaptée car cela revient à connecter en parallÚle deux sources de tension. Basé sur un cas concret d'application et grùce à des simulations, cet article propose une comparaison entre quatre solutions pour échanger de l'énergie entre systÚmes batterie lithium-ion et maitriser la connexion en parallÚle de ceux-ci

    Random integrals and correctors in homogenization

    Get PDF
    International audienceThis paper concerns the homogenization of a one-dimensional elliptic equation with oscillatory random coefficients. It is well-known that the random solution to the elliptic equation converges to the solution of an effective medium elliptic equation in the limit of a vanishing correlation length in the random medium. It is also well-known that the corrector to homogenization, i.e., the difference between the random solution and the homogenized solution, converges in distribution to a Gaussian process when the correlations in the random medium are sufficiently short-range. Moreover, the limiting process may be written as a stochastic integral with respect to standard Brownian motion. We generalize the result to a large class of processes with long-range correlations. In this setting, the corrector also converges to a Gaussian random process, which has an interpretation as a stochastic integral with respect to fractional Brownian motion. Moreover, we show that the longer the range of the correlations, the larger is the amplitude of the corrector. Derivations are based on a careful analysis of random oscillatory integrals of processes with long-range correlations. We also make use of the explicit expressions for the solutions to the one-dimensional elliptic equation

    Impact resistance of composite materials under biaxal preloading

    The first aim of this study is to analyze the impact behavior of pre-loaded composite. Indeed, a bi-axial load is applied to the composite specimen, in order to keep in touch with a real case of composite fuselage. Then, this pre-loaded specimen is impacted by a pendulum. The used energy and velocity are weak in order to be in the case of low-energy and low-velocity impact. The second aim of this study is to develop and design a pendulum device to be integrated to the biaxial fatigue loading. Moreover, two Non Destructive Inspections (Sonoscan and InfraRed Thermography) is used in order to establish links between pre-load and induced impact damage
