    International audienceIn this paper, an experimental characterisation of a particle impact damper (PID) under periodic excitation is investigated. The developed method allows the measurement of damping properties of PID without the supplementary use of a primary structure. The passive damping of PID varies with the excitation frequency and its design parameters. The nonlinear damping of PID is then interpreted as an equivalent viscous damping to be introduced in a finite element model of a structure to predict its dynamic response. The results of numerical simulations are in good agreement with those of experiment and show the relevance of the developed method to predict the dynamic behaviour of a structure treated by PID's

    De nos jours, suite aux exigences croissantes des clients, les produits mécaniques deviennent de plus en plus complexes. Les outils de CAO doivent être capables de suivre cette évolution et offrir par conséquent les fonctionnalités requises pour assister les concepteurs dans les choix et la validation de ces produits. Les outils de calcul par la méthode des éléments finis, les outils de simulation des mouvements sont parmi les outils d'assitance au concepteur et totalement intégrés à la CAO. Dans cet article, une méthode de génération des séquences de désassemblage (SD) des produits mécaniques est proposée afin d'aider le concepteur durant le cycle de vie des produits. Cette méthode est basée sur le concept de sous-assemblage. Ainsi, une SD du produit en des sous-assemblages est proposée. Ensuite, à chaque sous-assemblage, une SD est générée. Pour mener à bien les propositions, une solution de co-simulation Solidworks-Matlab est détaillée. Un exemple concret est présenté afin de mettre en évidence la faisabilité et l'efficacité de l'approche proposée

    International audienceThe performance of the porous glass ceramic doped with 10% wt Zinc and 2% wt TiN (46S6-10Zn),in the restoration of critical diaphyseal bone defect, was evaluated by several physicochemical methods and histological studies. The critical defect in rabbits was created and then filled with 46S6-10Zn. At different periods after implementation, animals were sacrificed. Samples were harvested for exploration. The nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) of 31P and 29Si illustrates the progressive degradation of 46S6-10Zn in favor to of the formation and the development of biological apatite. Therefore, after one month of implementation, MAS- NMR 29Si proves the presence of Q2 (25%), Q3 (73%) and Q4 (2%). However, after six months, the disappearance of all these species was revealed and characterized by the 46S6-10Zn dissolution. Besides, MAS- NMR 31P demonstrates the presence of Qc° (4%), QHA° (55%) and Qa° (41%) after one month. Nevertheless, six months later, we observe the presence of QHA° (80%) and Qa° (20%). Histological study demonstrates an intimate contact of 46S6-10Zn surrounding bone after one month of implantation. However, after four months, mature bone matrix became calcified and the implanted 46S6-10Zn began to be degraded. Moreover, nine months later, 46S6-10Zn was nearly resorbed and replaced by a calcified tissue in the periphery and an osteoid tissue in the middle of bone defect

    Ostéome ostéoïde intra-articulaire de la hanche: deux observations et revue de la littérature

    Get PDF
    L’ostéome ostéoïde est une tumeur osseuse bénigne qui affecte les adultes jeunes et se localise préférentiellement au niveau des os longs. La localisation intra-articulaire est rare et atteint le plus souvent la hanche. La symptomatologie clinique est alors atypique et peut faire errer le diagnostic constituant un défi diagnostique pour les cliniciens. Nous rapportons deux observations d’ostéome ostéoïde intra-articulaires de la hanche chez deux hommes âgés 24 et 45 ans, révélés par des douleurs de la hanche gauche de type inflammatoire évoluant depuis un an et un an et demi respectivement. Chez les deux patients, le tableau atypique de l’ostéome ostéoïde a été à l’origine d’un retard diagnostic. La tomodensitométrie est dans cette indication l’examen le plus spécifique qui a permis d’évoquer le diagnostic d’ostéome ostéoïde. Une fois le diagnostic est posé, l’exérèse chirurgicale à ciel ouvert a permis la guérison avec disparition totale des douleurs. L’examen histologique a confirmé le diagnostic final d’ostéome ostéoïde intra-articulaire dans les deux cas

    Session papiers courtsInternational audienceLa radio cognitive est une technologie émergente en matière d'accès sans fil, visant à améliorer considérablement l'utilisation du spectre radio en permettant d'y accéder de manière opportuniste. La plupart des travaux de recherche sur la radio cognitive se sont habituellement réalisés sur la base d'un état spatio-temporel fixe sans tenir compte de l'effet de la mobilité de l'utilisateur. Dans ce papier, nous nous intéressons au concept de mobilité dans les réseaux radio cognitive. Nous proposons ainsi un algorithme de gestion de handover spectral pour un nœud radio cognitive mobile. Notre algorithme présente une approche décentralisée qui utilise les systèmes multi agents. Nous exploitons également des algorithmes de négociation et de coopération issus du domaine multi-agents afin d'assurer une répartition plus efficace du spectre

    NeSAM: Negotiation based approach for Spectrum Access and Mobility management in cognitive radio networks

    No full text
    International audienceThroughout the last decade, cognitive radio systems received a lot of consideration for spectrum optimization and create huge opportunities for interesting research in a wide range of applications. Spectrum access and sharing tasks are widely studied for static nodes; hence, we combine, in this paper, multi-agent negotiation for spectrum sharing with user‟s mobility. We deploy primary and cognitive radio (CR) agents on primary and secondary users, respectively and we define a novel negotiation mechanism in order to allow mobile CR users to access the appropriate spectrum band with negotiated price and duration. Our proposal takes into account users‟ needs and environment constraints. We define two alternatives of negotiation according to the CR users‟ requirements. Simulation results show that our approach, in both cases, improves the overall spectrum utilization, minimizes the number of spectrum handovers and conserves the continuity of service during user‟s mobility. In addition, our approach improves CR users‟ utility while guaranteeing the primary user‟s satisfaction

    Spectrum Access during Cognitive Radio Mobiles' Handoff

    International audienceCognitive radio is an emergent technology in wireless networks that aims to improve spectrum’s use by allowing opportunist access. Recent research activities related to cognitive radio consider static terminals, neglecting the impact of user’s mobility. In this paper, we are interested in the concept of mobility in cognitive radio networks. Thus, we propose an algorithm of spectrum handoff for mobile cognitive radio users. Our algorithm presents a decentralized approach using multi-agent systems. Each terminal is managed by an agent that enables it to negotiate and cooperate with neighboring users. During the handoff, agents recover sensing information then choose appropriate band to switch if spectrum handoff is necessary. Finally, agents use negotiation and cooperation methods to insure a more efficient spectrum sharing
