The numerical simulation of heat transfer during a hybrid laser–MIG welding using equivalent heat source approach
2014
International audience; The present study is dedicated to the numerical simulation of an industrial case of hybrid laser-MIG welding of high thickness duplex steel UR2507Cu with Y-shaped chamfer geometry. It consists in simulation of heat transfer phenomena using heat equivalent source approach and implementing in finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics. A numerical exploratory designs method is used to identify the heat sources parameters in order to obtain a minimal required difference between the numerical results and the experiment which are the shape of the welded zone and the temperature evolution in different locations. The obtained results were found in good correspondence with …
An algebraic continuous time parameter estimation for a sum of sinusoidal waveform signals
2016
In this paper, a novel algebraic method is proposed to estimate amplitudes, frequencies, and phases of a biased and noisy sum of complex exponential sinusoidal signals. The resulting parameter estimates are given by original closed formulas, constructed as integrals acting as time-varying filters of the noisy measured signal. The proposed algebraic method provides faster and more robust results, compared with usual procedures. Some computer simulations illustrate the efficiency of our method.

JOINT TOPOLOGY LEARNING AND GRAPH SIGNAL RECOVERY VIA KALMAN FILTER IN CAUSAL DATA PROCESSES
2018
In this paper, a joint graph-signal recovery approach is investigated when we have a set of noisy graph signals generated based on a causal graph process. By leveraging the Kalman filter framework, a three steps iterative algorithm is utilized to predict and update signal estimation as well as graph topology learning, called Topological Kalman Filter or TKF. Similar to the regular Kalman filter, we first predict the a posterior signal state based on the prior available data and then this prediction is updated and corrected based on the recently arrived measurement. But contrary to the conventional Kalman filter algorithm, we have no information of the transition matrix and hence we relate t…
Parallel distributed compensation for voltage controlled active magnetic bearing system using integral fuzzy model
2018
Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) for current-controlled Active Magnetic Bearing System (AMBS) has been quite effective in recent years. However, this method does not take into account the dynamics associated with the electromagnet. This limits the method to smaller scale applications where the electromagnet dynamics can be neglected. Voltage-controlled AMBS is used to overcome this limitation but this comes with serious challenges such as complex mathematical modelling and higher order system control. In this work, a PDC with integral part is proposed for position and input tracking control of voltage-controlled AMBS. PDC method is based on nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. …
Location-Aware MAC Scheduling in Industrial-Like Environment
2018
We consider an environment strongly affected by the presence of metallic objects, that can be considered representative of an indoor industrial environment with metal obstacles. This scenario is a very harsh environment where radio communication has notorious difficulties, as metallic objects create a strong blockage component and surfaces are highly reflective. In this environment, we investigate how to dynamically allocate MAC resources in time to static and mobile users based on context awareness extracted from a legacy WiFi positioning system. In order to address this problem, we integrate our WiFi ranging and positioning system in the WiSHFUL architecture and then define a hypothesis t…
Efficient Transport Protocol for Networked Haptics Applications
2008
The performance of haptic application is highly sensitive to communication delays and losses of data. It implies several constraints in developing networked haptic applications. This paper describes a new internet protocol called Efficient Transport Protocol (ETP), which aims at developing distributed interactive applications. TCP and UDP are transport protocols commonly used in any kind of networked communication, but they are not focused on real time application. This new protocol is focused on reducing roundtrip time (RTT) and interpacket gap (IPG). ETP is, therefore, optimized for interactive applications which are based on processes that are continuously exchanging data. ETP protocol i…
Graph-theoretical derivation of brain structural connectivity
2020
Brain connectivity at the single neuron level can provide fundamental insights into how information is integrated and propagated within and between brain regions. However, it is almost impossible to adequately study this problem experimentally and, despite intense efforts in the field, no mathematical description has been obtained so far. Here, we present a mathematical framework based on a graph-theoretical approach that, starting from experimental data obtained from a few small subsets of neurons, can quantitatively explain and predict the corresponding full network properties. This model also changes the paradigm with which large-scale model networks can be built, from using probabilisti…
Algebraic parameter estimation of a multi-sinusoidal waveform signal from noisy data
2013
International audience; In this paper, we apply an algebraic method to estimate the amplitudes, phases and frequencies of a biased and noisy sum of complex exponential sinusoidal signals. Let us stress that the obtained estimates are integrals of the noisy measured signal: these integrals act as time-varying filters. Compared to usual approaches, our algebraic method provides a more robust estimation of these parameters within a fraction of the signal's period. We provide some computer simulations to demonstrate the efficiency of our method.
Algebraic parameter estimation of a biased sinusoidal waveform signal from noisy data
2012
International audience; The amplitude, frequency and phase of a biased and noisy sum of two complex exponential sinusoidal signals are estimated via new algebraic techniques providing a robust estimation within a fraction of the signal period. The methods that are popular today do not seem able to achieve such performances. The efficiency of our approach is illustrated by several computer simulations.
Tolerating malicious monitors in detecting misbehaving robots
2008
This paper considers a multi–agent system and focuses on the detection of motion misbehavior. Previous work by the authors proposed a solution, where agents act as local monitors of their neighbors and use locally sensed information as well as data received from other monitors. In this work, we consider possible failure of monitors that may send incorrect information to their neighbors due to spontaneous or even malicious malfunctioning. In this context, we propose a distributed software architecture that is able to tolerate such failures. Effectiveness of the proposed solution is shown through preliminary simulation results.
