description: This paper examines finite field trigonometry as a tool to construct trigonometric digital transforms. In particular, by using properties of the k-cosine function over GF(p), the Finite Field Discrete Cosine Transform (FFDCT) is introduced. The FFDCT pair in GF(p) is defined, having blocklengths that are divisors of (p+1)/2. A special case is the Mersenne FFDCT, defined when p is a Mersenne prime. In this instance blocklengths that are powers of two are possible and radix-2 fast algorithms can be used to compute the transform.

Near infrared spectroscopy – a bioengineering approach to traumatic brain injury
Creators: name: Kontojannis, Vassilios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Traumatic brain injury represents one of the most important epidemics of our society with devastating social, economic and health consequences. Thanks to the technological advancements in medicine the last 50 years there have been huge steps in the exploration of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Neuromonitoring today is an indispensable tool in the study and management of the brain injured patients. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the application of near infrared light in TBI. We have reviewed the application of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the detection of intracranial haematomas. With a cross study negative predictive value of 90% and a positive predictive value of 77%, NIRS did not meet the requirements set by this review either as a diagnostic or triage tool. To address this an evolved hand-held NIRS device was then tested in the emergency department of St Mary’s Hospital. We have recruited 205 patients; intracranial haematomas of volume>3.5ml, and deep<2.5cm from the surface of the brain, the sensitivity was found to be 89% and the negative predictive value 93.9%. It is demonstrated that the infrared scanner can quickly rule out the presence of an intracranial clot. In this thesis, we also examined the application of NIRS as a neuromonitroing method in severe TBI patients in intensive care unit investigating the non-invasiveness detection of spreading depolarisations. In the first part, we recruited six patients, demonstrating that application of NIRS as continuous monitoring is feasible in intensive care unit and also detected in 4 patients local haemodynamic changes which may represent the imprint of spreading depolarisation. In the second part, we recruited 9 patients with synchronous application of NIRS and invasive electrodes for the detection of spreading depolarisations. Finally, we demonstrated the non-invasive detection of spreading depolarisations using NIRS in TBI patient. This thesis has confirmed the promising nature of NIRS technology in traumatic brain injury, suggesting that it is worth expanding the investigation in other acute brain pathologies.

description: Le secteur de la construction connaît une révolution grâce aux nouvelles technologies et à la numérisation. L'impression 3D par injection est une voie possible pour imprimer des éléments complexes. Dans ce travail, nous visons à imprimer une éprouvette en forme de sablier : il s'agit d'une forme complexe instable où le moindre défaut lors du process d'impression peut conduire à l'effondrement de la structure. Une telle forme peut être vue comme une optimisation d'une éprouvette cylindrique où les performances mécaniques de cette forme sont remplies par une disposition judicieuse du matériau. Une résistance ultime à la compression égale à 35 MPa à la plus petite section transversale de l'éprouvette située à mi-hauteur a été mesurée. Cette valeur est inférieure à celle déduite de l'essai sur éprouvette normalisée. Cependant, ces résistances peuvent répondre aux spécifications des éléments structurels porteurs sollicités principalement en compression simple tels que les murs et les colonnes.

THE EFFECTS OF THERMONUCLEAR REACTION RATE VARIATIONS ON 26 Al PRODUCTION IN MASSIVE STARS: A SENSITIVITY STUDY

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: We investigate the effects of thermonuclear reaction rate variations on 26Al production in massive stars. The dominant production sites in such events were recently investigated by using stellar model calculations: explosive neon-carbon burning, convective shell carbon burning, and convective core hydrogen burning. Post-processing nucleosynthesis calculations are performed for each of these sites by adopting temperature-density-time profiles from recent stellar evolution models. For each profile, we individually multiplied the rates of all relevant reactions by factors of 10, 2, 0.5, and 0.1, and analyzed the resulting abundance changes of 26Al. In total, we performed ≈900 nuclear reaction network calculations. Our simulations are based on a next-generation nuclear physics library, called STARLIB, which contains a recent evaluation of Monte Carlo reaction rates. Particular attention is paid to quantifying the rate uncertainties of those reactions that most sensitively influence 26Al production. For stellar modelers our results indicate to what degree predictions of 26Al nucleosynthesis depend on currently uncertain nuclear physics input, while for nuclear experimentalists our results represent a guide for future measurements. We also investigate equilibration effects of 26Al. In all previous massive star investigations, either a single species or two species of 26Al were taken into account, depending on whether thermal equilibrium was achieved or not. These are two extreme assumptions, and in a hot stellar plasma the ground and isomeric states may communicate via γ-ray transitions involving higher-lying 26Al levels. We tabulate the results of our reaction rate sensitivity study for each of the three distinct massive star sites referred to above. It is found that several current reaction rate uncertainties influence the production of 26Al. Particularly important reactions are 26Al(n,p)26Mg, 25Mg(α,n)28Si, 24Mg(n,γ)25Mg, and 23Na(α,p)26Mg. These reactions should be prime targets for future measurements. Overall, we estimate that the nuclear physics uncertainty of the 26Al yield predicted by the massive star models explored here amounts to about a factor of three. We also find that taking the equilibration of 26Al levels explicitly into account in any of the massive star sites investigated here has only minor effects on the predicted 26Al yields. Furthermore, we provide for the interested reader detailed comments regarding the current status of certain reactions, including 12C(12C,n)23Mg, 23Na(α,p)26Mg, 25Mg(α,n)28Si, 26Alm (p,γ)27Si, 26Al(n,p)26Mg, and 26Al(n,α)23Na.

description: RESUME Les bétons de chanvre sont des matériaux d'isolation biosourcés dont l'utilisation est en plein essor en France. Cependant, leur développement est encore limité par le manque de recul sur leurs performances, notamment en ce qui concerne leurs propriétés mécaniques. La variabilité des caractéristiques des granulats végétaux est à l'origine de ce résultat. Dans ce travail, l'influence de huit chènevottes d'origine différente sur la prise d'un ciment CEM I est étudiée. Ces particules entrainent un retard de prise du liant variant de 2 à 6 heures par rapport au ciment seul. L'analyse des solutions d'extraction des particules végétales par spectrométrie UV et chromatographie liquide montre que ce retard est lié à la présence de polyphénols, et plus particulièrement aux composés les plus polaires. L'objectif final de cette étude sera de définir un indicateur permettant de prédire la compatibilité de particules végétales avec un liant minéral.

Theoretical investigation of low-Reynolds number swimming near walls, corners and in weakly shear-thinning fluids
Creators: name: Brzezicki, Samuel James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis sets out with a goal of answering two questions about the swimming of mi- croorganisms. Firstly, we ask is it more efficient for a microswimmer, in the vicinity of a flat wall, to swim in a weak shear-thinning fluid compared with a Newtonian fluid? We use a theoretical model for the swimmer and use a complex variable formulation of the Stokes equations combined with perturbation analysis and integral relations to find the corrections to the swimmer’s velocities upon assuming the fluid is weakly shear-thinning. Using these quantities, an investigation into the swimming efficiency is conducted. Secondly, motivated by findings in the literature on the trapping and scattering of swimmers near corners, we ask for what corner angles is trapping of microswimmers possible? Study- ing the theoretical swimmer model used in the former investigation proves too difficult in the wedge geometry where there are no theoretical results to utilize within the integral re- lations methodology. Instead we introduce a simple point singularity approximation of the swimmer. This point singularity model is a generalisation of the Crowdy-Or [9] model which has shown qualitative agreement with both numerical and experimental studies. Us- ing techniques of complex analysis, a dynamical system governing the model’s motion is derived explicitly. Investigating the equilibria of this system for all wedge angles leads to findings about the trapping and scattering of the microswimmer.

description: Despite the many advantages of synthetic fiber composites, the use of bio-composite as a new material for structural reinforcement will be interesting to aim towards sustainable construction with reduced environmental problems. This study investigated the performance of epoxy polymer composites reinforced with natural flax fabric and jute as reinforcement materials for concrete structures. The jute and flax fabrics were tested in tensile to compare their characteristics with those of carbon. The effect of the type of fabrics as well as the thickness of the composite are evaluated. The thickness of the composites considered were 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 layers of fabric. The results show that there is an increase of 36% in the ultimate bending load for both fabrics compared to the reference beam. Therefore, the results allowed to consider natural fabric composites as well-suited materials for the strengthening concrete structures.

Computational performances optimization of a non-linear mechanical behaviour model for geomaterials

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2022

description: Modelling large civil engineering structures with complex shapes, such as gothic vaults, arch dams, nuclear containment vessels, requires 3D nonlinear numerical models usable in finite element codes, discrete elements codes and codes coupling them both. Concerning the finite element formulation, many models based on plasticity are particularly well adapted to soil-mechanics, while damage theory is widely used to model concrete fracture. In the case of the building heritage masonry, in which natural geomaterials are combined with lime mortar, the mechanical behaviour law of the components presents a first stage with microcracking closure under low compression, a second stage of hardening, and finally a softening stage with a significant dilatancy and a damage induced by its crushing. In tension, the cracks appear mainly in principal tensile direction, with a highly orthotropic damage induced. This paper gives principles used to couple all these phenomena in a single model with the objective to enhance the accuracy and minimize the computational cost. These improvements are based on a computing process avoiding to resort to iterative solving methods at the integration points.

description: La présente contribution décrit l’essai de résistance au feu d’un mur porteur en maçonnerie de pierre naturelle (calcaire de Saint-Vaast). Le mur a été exposé à un feu normalisé pendant 3h, avec une charge verticale maintenue constante pendant 2h30 puis progressivement augmentée jusqu’à rupture de la structure. A partir de cet essai et d’essais réalisés précédemment sur des murs du même type, il apparaît que le chargement mécanique a tendance à faire diminuer la courbure thermique du mur ainsi que sa résistance au feu. La métrologie mise en œuvre (capteurs LVDT et corrélation d’image) permet également de conjecturer un mécanisme de rupture du mur, qui semble rompre vers l’opposé du feu. Dans le cas d’un mur de façade, un tel mode de rupture pourrait alors ne pas être compatible avec l’évacuation des personnes et l'intervention des services de secours, ou menacer la stabilité des constructions avoisinantes.

description: Graphene interfaced with a semiconductor forms a Schottky junction with rectifying properties, however, fluctuations in the Schottky barrier height are often observed. In this work, Schottky junctions are fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposited monolayer graphene onto n-type Si and GaAs substrates. Temperature dependence of the barrier height and ideality factor are obtained by current-voltage measurements between 215 and 350 K. An increase in the zero bias barrier height and decrease in the ideality factor are observed with increasing temperature for both junctions. Such behavior is attributed to barrier inhomogeneities that arise from interfacial states as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. Assuming a Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights, mean values of 1.14(+/-)0.14 eV and 0.76(+/-)0.10 eV are found for graphene Si and GaAs junctions, respectively. These findings provide insights into the barrier height inhomogeneities in graphene based Schottky junctions, essential for the integration of graphene with Si and GaAs device architectures.

description: STARLIB is a next-generation, all-purpose nuclear reaction-rate library. For the first time, this library provides the rate probability density at all temperature grid points for convenient implementation in models of stellar phenomena. The recommended rate and its associated uncertainties are also included. Currently, uncertainties are absent from all other rate libraries, and, although estimates have been attempted in previous evaluations and compilations, these are generally not based on rigorous statistical definitions. A common standard for deriving uncertainties is clearly warranted. STARLIB represents a first step in addressing this deficiency by providing a tabular, up-to-date database that supplies not only the rate and its uncertainty but also its distribution. Because a majority of rates are lognormally distributed, this allows the construction of rate probability densities from the columns of STARLIB. This structure is based on a recently suggested Monte Carlo method to calculate reaction rates, where uncertainties are rigorously defined. In STARLIB, experimental rates are supplemented with: (1) theoretical TALYS rates for reactions for which no experimental input is available, and (2) laboratory and theoretical weak rates. STARLIB includes all types of reactions of astrophysical interest to Z = 83, such as (p, {gamma}), (p, {alpha}), ({alpha}, n), and corresponding reversemore » rates. Strong rates account for thermal target excitations. Here, we summarize our Monte Carlo formalism, introduce the library, compare methods of correcting rates for stellar environments, and discuss how to implement our library in Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis studies. We also present a method for accessing STARLIB on the Internet and outline updated Monte Carlo-based rates.« less
Design and optimisation of mini-hydrocyclones for the separation of particles in the micron size range
Creators: name: Vega Garcia, Dennis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The use of mini-hydrocyclones (e.g. 10 mm in diameter) for the separation of par-ticles in the micron range is of growing interest in industry. However, these hydro-cyclones are typically limited to conventional shapes or restricted to specific outletsizes, which can lead to sub-optimal performance. Mini-hydrocyclones exhibit abypass fraction that is larger than the water recovery, resulting in a high particlerecovery to the underflow, as well as low water recovery, which is convenient fordewatering processes. However, this larger bypass fraction can be a disadvantagewhen the purpose of the hydrocyclone is particle classification, because of the largeamount of fine particles that are misplaced in the underflow. Therefore, a deeperunderstanding of the mini-hydrocyclones performance is needed.The aim of this thesis is to present a method for the optimisation of mini-hydrocyclonedesign. The method consists of designing and 3D printing mini-hydrocyclones, car-rying out Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and performing ex-perimental tests. 3D printed mini-hydrocyclones were tested and the effect thatchanges in vortex finder and spigot diameters have on separation performance wasstudied. A CFD model was implemented and validated with experimental data formini-hydrocyclones applied to dewatering and classification processes. Lastly, noveldesign of hydrocyclones (i.e. with parabolic walls) were studied in a full factorialand Central Composite Rotatable (CCRD) designs.The first outcome of this thesis is the application of the 3D printing technologyfor practical and rapid prototyping of mini-hydrocyclones. The second outcome isthe implementation of a validated CFD model to predict the performance of mini-hydrocyclone for dewatering and particle classification processes. The third outcomeis the combination of 3D printing technology and the CFD model to evaluate hydro-cyclones with parabolic walls. This thesis demonstrates the potential of 3D printing,CFD modelling and robust experimental testwork to improve the understanding ofmini-hydrocyclones performance in dewatering and classification processes.

description: In de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity and bigravity, a non-minimal matter coupling involving both metrics generically re-introduces the Boulware--Deser (BD) ghost. A non-minimal matter coupling via a simple, yet specific composite metric has been proposed, which eliminates the BD ghost below the strong coupling scale. Working explicitly in the metric formulation and for arbitrary spacetime dimensions, we show that this composite metric is the unique consistent non-minimal matter coupling below the strong coupling scale, which emerges out of two diagnostics, namely, absence of Ostrogradski ghosts in the decoupling limit and absence of the BD ghost from matter quantum loop corrections.

Différents paramètres de formulation sont étudiés : le rapport massique Na2SiO3/NaOH et le rapport massique Activateur/Précurseur. L'effet de ces paramètres sur la résistance à la compression des liants a été évalué. Dix-neuf expériences ont été menées pour arriver à un modèle mathématique du second ordre liant la fonction de réponse aux différents facteurs et permettant un meilleur contrôle de la procédure de formulation. La résistance à la compression optimale à 28 jours d’une valeur de 3,68 MPa a été obtenue avec un rapport massique Na2SiO3/NaOH de 1,54 et un rapport massique Activateur/Précurseur de 0,31.

Year: 2022

description: In a context of sustainable development, civil engineering must increasingly use recyclable materials to preserve natural resources. Sediments could be a solution in the context of their recovery in several areas. Uncontaminated marine sediments were used to partially substitute sand aggregate in mortars formulation. Physical, chemical, mineralogy and mechanical characterization were carried out to investigate their possible use and impact in cemented-based materials. Five mortars were studied with different percentage of sand substitution. The effect of sediments on the mechanical and thermo-physical properties were assessed. This paper focus on the characterization of the thermo-physical properties. The mortars hydration kinetics were investigated at different temperatures. The acceleration of the chemical reactions was also assessed through the determination of the apparent activation energy of mortars. The thermal conductivity and the specific heat capacity were also evaluated. The measured heat released of mortars raise with the increase of sediment content. This result suggests an additional chemical activity linked to the presence of sediments within the matrix. The thermal conductivity of mortars decreased while the specific heat capacity increased with the percentage of sand replacement. This can be attributed to the high porosity and low density of the sediment mortars.

A fuzzy front end model for concurrent specification in new product development
Creators: name: Park, Dongmyung
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: This research reports on the development of a new model for an early design stage in new product development (NPD) programmes called the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). The new FFE model aims at overcoming two kinds of limitations identified in previous FFE models. The first limitation concerns current trends in FFE model improvement including the need for a data-driven model, and to address agile development, incremental and radical NPDs, balanced explicitness and responsiveness characteristics, and balanced procedural and performative structures. The second limitation concerns deficiencies in the performance structure and operating mechanism regarding contextual performance and concurrent collaboration. This means that performances in the FFE do not systematically link with each other, either in a single functional domain or multidimensionally across diverse functional domains, but instead exist independently. A pragmatic-prescriptive model has been functionally embodied by analysing real-world FFE scenarios using inductive reasoning. The model is data-driven with a performative structure wherein parameters can interlock for contextual performance and concurrent collaboration throughout the entire FFE process. With this interlocking structure, once an initial parameter is produced, all remaining parameters considered from both perspectives can be obtained successively. This model allows performers to explicitly understand the purpose and roles of parameters and their relationships from both perspectives when processing parameters. The model thus leads to more agile FFE execution by reducing the iterative work needed to correct defective parameters which have not been handled with contextual performance and concurrent collaboration in mind but instead exist independently. A theoretical-descriptive model, produced by validating the developed pragmatic-prescriptive model, using deductive reasoning, consists of mathematical formulas, providing the underlying concept of an overall FFE as well as that of its parts. Consequently, the pragmatic-prescriptive model can serve as functional performance guidance, while the theoretical-descriptive model can serve as conceptual performance guidance when employing the pragmatic-prescriptive model.

Creators: name: FERRANTE, ANGELA
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering

description: The present work proposes a new hybrid FEM-DEM strategy, which combines the advantages of the classical finite and discrete element methods. The present paper illustrates the capabilities of the hybrid model in reproducing the behavior of masonry during experimental tests. In this hybrid approach, deformable blocks, managed by a damage model, interact each other through contact joints governed by frictional cohesive behaviors. The main aspect of the numerical results concerns the ability of this approach in providing realistic prediction of failure mechanisms.

description: This study investigates the feasibility of using dredged sediment, which is now classified as waste, to partially replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete 3D printing. The sediment used in this study was thermally treated using the flash calcination method. Mortars with varying flash-calcined sediment percentages (ranging from 0 to 20%) are studied and characterized in both fresh and hardened states. A manual gun device was used to test their printability (extrudability and buildability). The flow table test and the fall cone test were used to assess their workability and structural build-up, respectively. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the mortars was determined after 1, 7, and 28 days. The results show that it is possible to 3D print mortars containing up to 10% flash-calcined sediment while maintaining acceptable extrudability and buildability. Furthermore, no significant decrease in compressive strength was observed when flash-calcined sediment was added to the control mixture.

description: Evolutionary game theory is a common framework to study the evolution of cooperation, where it is usually assumed that the same game is played in all interactions. Here, we investigate a model where the game that is played by two individuals is uniformly drawn from a sample of two different games. Using the master equation approach we show that the random mixture of two games is equivalent to play the average game when (i) the strategies are statistically independent of the game distribution and (ii) the transition rates are linear functions of the payoffs. We also use Monte-Carlo simulations in a two dimensional lattice and mean-field techniques to investigate the scenario when the two above conditions do not hold. We find that even outside of such conditions, several quantities characterizing the mixed-games are still the same as the ones obtained in the average game when the two games are not very different.

description: Les enjeux climatique et environnementaux occupent une place de plus en plus importante dans notre société. C’est pour cela qu’on s’intéresse de plus en plus à la terre crue dans le domaine de construction afin de limiter les émissions de CO2 et la consommation d’énergie fossile, mais également afin de revaloriser ce matériau présent en grande quantité et posant un problème de stockage. Le frein majeur à l’utilisation de la terre crue réside en sa fissuration lors de sa dessiccation du au retrait de sa fraction argileuse. Afin de viabiliser ce type de construction, les chercheurs se sont intéressés à différents type d’amendement permettant de réduire suffisamment la fissuration. L’ajout de renfort avec des fibres végétales à permis de réduire la fissuration mais reste insuffisant. C’est pour cela que nous nous sommes intéressés à l’utilisation de la biocalfication faisant l’objet de nombreuses études sur d’autre matériaux de construction depuis ces dernières années. Notre travail aura pour objectif de maîtriser la biocalcification dans les argiles pour ensuite l’élargir à la terre crue afin d’intervenir préventivement et curativement.

description: The transport of suspended particles through fractured rocks contributes, for example, to the contamination and therefore to the vulnerability of karst groundwater. Thus, the effect of flow velocity on the transport of suspended particles in an artificial fractured chalk was undertaken. Preliminary results showed that the flow velocity greatly affects the particles’transfer in the fracture. With the increase in flow velocity, the particles recovery rate increases and the residence time decreases. The transport behavior cannot be totally explained with the flow velocity only. Hence, additional investigations should include, for example, the effect fracture aperture, and the physicochemical conditions.
