La pensée économique espagnole dans l'Espagne autarcique (1939-1959)
The Spanish economic thought has continued to exist during the autarchic phase of the Franco system. The context of expression of the thought did not allow the free assertion of the convictions and philosophies : it were existing an official ideology and forbidden ideas. Economists of the Phalange, who supported and justified the Governement action do not have undertaken any contribution to the economic analysis. Disciples of H. von Stackelberg have permitted the diffusion of the micro-economic thought known at this period, working so in applied economy and economic policy. Interesting empirical works have been leadedby M. deTorres and R. Perpina. However, only works of G. Bernacer, ignored of its time, are representingan original theoretical contribution.(Full text in French)
Les contraintes nouvelles de la politique de cohésion économique et sociale d'une Europe à plusieurs vitesses
The euro zone risks to increase effects of agglomeration to the detriment of its regions late development that would have to undergo a competition stronger of territories out of the monetary union and eastern country submissive to economic policies less rigorous (possibility of practices of dumping monetary, salary and fiscal conditions,… more advantageous for firms). The affirmation of an economy of archipelago consolidated by the emphasis of the inter-regional cooperation can entail an increase of regional tensions inside member States. These changes are going to concern an european Community in which progress of the last twenty years concerning social and economic cohesion have ended to reduce inequalities between member States while gaps of wealth have increase between regions of a same country. Needs for the social and economic cohesion increase in a context, on the one hand, quasi-fixedness of european structural fund in real terms and, on the other hand, before - adherence to the Union of central and oriental Europe country in which exist potential growth poles based on factor qualified work and necessitating a community endorsement. It seems then to be released adaptations of the european cohesion policy proposed in the program of the Agenda 2000 an implicit choice of important financing of zones to capacity of development according to a logic of integration to an economy of archipelago. Regions in durable development difficulties are momentarily less sustained. (Full text in French)
Les relations commerciales Brésil-Argentine dans l'union douanière imparfaite du Mercosur
The Mercosur constitution has entailed a development of trades between the different member States but more particularly between Brazil and Argentina, the most important countries of this customs union. A studyhas been driven on the Brazil trade with Argentina so as to characterize its evolution from the end of 80s, that it to say before the entry in application of the Asuncion agreement. By resorting to several indicators (commercial balance, Spearman coefficient, Grubel -Lloyd indicator), a slow but indisputable evolution of the Brazilian foreign trade structure has been put in obviousness. The relatively high level of the Mercosur common external rate lifts the question of the importance of trade diversions create by this regional integration zone. A crossed analysis of revealed comparative advantages and regional preference indicators shows a significant deviation phenomenon of trade. Like the preferential commercial agreement EEC - Spain of 1970 that has prepared the Spanish adhesion (with important diversionsof trade to the disadvantage of Maghreb countries), the Asuncion treaty would have to be perceived by international organisms (World Bank, WTO) as instituting a transitory protectionism of "infant zone" to allow the economic correction of developing countries.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the interval computation method to simulate the dynamic behavior of subdefinite system: application on an active suspension system
International audienceA new design approach based on methods by intervals adapted to the integration of the simulation step at the earliest stage of preliminary design for dynamic systems is proposed in this study. The main idea consists on using the interval computation method to make a simulation by intervals in order to minimize the number of simulations which allow obtaining a set of solutions instead of a single one. These intervals represent the domains of possible values for the design parameters of the subdefinite system. So the parameterized model of the system is solved by interval. This avoids launching n simulations with n values for each design parameter. The proposed method is evaluated by several tests on a scalable numerical example. It has been applied to solve parameterized differential equations of a Macpher-son suspension system and to study its dynamic behavior in its passive and active form. The dynamic model of the active suspension is nonlinear but linearisable. It is transformed into a parameterized state equation by intervals. The solution to this state equation is given in the form of a matrix exponential. Three digital implementations of exponential have been tested to obtain convergent results. Simulations results are presented and discussed
Contribution à la prise en compte d'exigences dynamiques en conception préliminaire de systèmes complexes
Cette thèse traite de problématique de dimensionnement d'un système technique complexe. L'objectif est de proposer et d'outiller un processus de conception selon lequel le dimensionnement statique de l'architecture initiale d'un système satisfait dès le début les exigences statiques et dynamiques sans nécessité de redimensionnement. Ainsi, nous avons proposé une nouvelle démarche de conception dans laquelle la prise en compte des exigences statiques et dynamiques est effectuée de maniéré simultanée et globale dans la phase de conception préliminaire. Cette démarche se base sur les exigences pour déterminer les solutions admissibles et utilise des méthodes de résolution ensemblistes telles que la méthode de calcul par intervalle et la méthode de propagation par contraintes. En effet, les variables de conception sont exprimées par intervalles et les exigences statiques et dynamiques sont implémentées dans un même modèle NCSP. Les exigences dynamiques sont plus difficiles à intégrer. Il s'agit des exigences fonctionnelles du système, de la résonance et des critères de stabilité, de commandabilité et de transmittance. Dans un premier temps, nous avons réussi à intégrer le comportement dynamique d'un système technique sous forme d'équation différentielle ordinaire par intervalles et dans un deuxième temps, nous avons traduit les exigences dynamiques sous forme de contraintes algébriques définies par un ensemble d'équations et inéquations. La solution générée représente les valeurs admissibles des variables de conception satisfaisant simultanément les exigences statiques et dynamiques imposées. Ce couplage entre le dimensionnement statique et dynamique dans l'approche de conception proposée permet d'éviter le sur-dimensionnement puisque les exigences dynamiques interviennent dans le choix des coefficients de sécurité, et d'éviter les boucles de redimensionnement en cas d'échec ce qui permet de gagner en temps de calcul et de réduire le coût de conception. La démarche de conception proposée est validée par application sur le cas de dimensionnement d'un système de suspension active MacPherson.This thesis deals with design problems of a complex technical system. The objective is to find a design process which the static design of the initial architecture of a system meets from the first static and dynamic requirements with no need to resize it. Thus, we propose a new design approach which the consideration of static and dynamic requirements is done simultaneously and globally in the preliminary design phase. This approach is based on the requirements to determine admissible solutions and uses set-based methods such as interval computation and constraint propagation. Indeed, the design variables are expressed by intervals and the static and dynamic requirements are implemented in a NCSP model. The dynamic requirements are more difficult to integrate. They represent the functional requirements of the system, the resonance and stability criteria, controllability and transmittance. On the one hand, we succeed to integrate the dynamic behavior of a technical system in the form of ordinary differential equation by intervals. On the other hand, we formalize the dynamic requirements in the form of algebraic constraints defined by a set of equations and inequalities. The generated solution is the set of acceptable values of design variables satisfying simultaneously static and dynamic requirements. This coupling between the static and dynamic sizing steps in the proposed design approach avoids over- sizing of the system as the dynamic requirements involved in the choice of safety factors. Il also avoid resizing loops in case of failure, which saves significant computation time and reduce the cost of design. The proposed design approach is applied on the sizing of a MacPherson active suspension system.CHATENAY MALABRY-Ecole centrale (920192301) / SudocSudocFranceF

Set-based design by simulation of usage scenario coverage
While the marketing literature has advocated for decades that new products should be designed for intended and
anticipated consumer usages, the engineering literature mostly proposes optimization of product performances
independent of specific users’ skills, anticipated usage scenarios, and competing products on the market. In contrast
to tedious market studies which assume an existing market experience for products and optimization approaches
based upon static product performances, we propose an adaptable approach to designing a product or product family:
the set-based design by usage coverage simulation. It starts with generating a usage scenario space for a set of
representative users. Next, considering a candidate set of products, one proceeds to the CSP computations of feasible
usage scenarios, assuming that physics-based models of performances are available. The comparison between the
expected and feasible usage scenarios at the scale of a single user leads to Usage Coverage Indicators and finally to
a preferred product which best covers the usage scenario space. At the level of a targeted consumer group, the
approach provides a market share simulation for competing products or members of a scale-based product family.
The design of a family of jigsaws thoroughly illustrates our approach.Keywords: Set-based design, Usage context based design, Usage coverage metrics, Simulation under uncertainty, Constraint Satisfaction Proble
