Contribution to prognostics and health management of complex systems. Application to energy systems
(English) This thesis presents contributions to model-based Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for online Remaining Useful Life (RUL) forecasting of degraded systems. The major issue in such a prognostics approach is ...
Numerical optimisation of worm locomotion on frictional substrates
(English) Optimal control theory provides a framework to determine optimal inputs for mechanical systems modeled as initial value problems. The resulting minimisation problem may be solved with known direct and indirect ...
Constitutive models for unsaturated soils. A thermodynamic approach
(English) Unsaturated soils are particular instances of porous materials, which are characterized by a solid skeleton and a number of fluids that can move through the skeleton. At the microscale, a porous material is made ...
Robust economic model predictive control of smart grids
(English) This thesis proposes a Robust Economic Model Predictive Control (REMPC) design based on deterministic approach for optimizing economic costs of energy production and dispatch in smart electrical grids. Robust ...
Modeling of the mixed form of wave problems with correcting terms based on training artificial neural networks: application to acoustic black holes
(English) This thesis presents novel approaches and computational methods for solving wave propagation problems in acoustics and linear elasticity. Stabilized finite element methods in the context of the variational ...
Characterization of a novel HgCdTe focal plane array for ground and space astronomy through innovative infrared setups
(English) Nowadays, mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) short-wave infrared (SWIR) detectors are widely used in cutting-edge space missions and ground-based telescopes. They take advantage of the fact that the dust and gases ...
Cloud-native orchestration and automation for disaggregated networks
(English) Transport networks are segmented by different technologies and domains, what makes difficult automated end-to-end operations and making direct human intervention needed to deploy connectivity services. On top ...
Personalized meal by using different proteins based on 3D printing
(English) Currently, the use of 3D printing technology in the food sector is being considered, which can improve or displace some of the traditional methods of food manufacturing. The 3D printing market has grown significantly ...
Eliminación de blanqueadores ópticos de aguas textiles residuales y reutilización de efluentes
(English) he textile industry consumes a large volume of water in various activities and is an importan! wastewater generator. Colorless dyes that emit fluorescence when exposed to UV light are used in the optical whitening ...
Modeling and control for a fuel cell system
(English) Fuel cells are electrochemical devices to covert hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy and heat. However, the degradation during the operation can reduce a fuel cell lifetime which is the major obstacle for ...
Automatic control advances in CPS security
(English) Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) constitute a new generation of control systems that seeks a better integration between computation and physical processes. However, the notable advances of these systems in terms of ...
Mimicking soft living tissues for 3D printed surgical planning prototypes using additive manufacturing technologies
(English) Additive Manufacturing is the process of joining materials to make objects from a 3D model data, normally layer-upon-layer through series of some cross-sectional slices, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing ...
Análisis estructural de escaleras para edificios frente a viento y sismo
(English) In this PhD Dissertation the structural performance of buildings with stairs submitted to lateral loads, is investigated. Because of the historical neglect of the interaction effects between the main structure ...
Leak detection and localization in pipeline networks using machine learning and principal component analysis
(English) This thesis presents a methodology to locate leaks in pipeline networks, with a focus on water distribution networks. Leak localization techniques using classifiers are proposed by associating the different classes ...
Development of silicon photonic structures for sensing and signal processing
(English) Silicon photonics is the opportunity that one of the most amazing materials in nature, silicon, has offered once its electronic technological possibilities are reaching its limit. The transparency of this material ...
Contribution to the manufacture of porous structures for prostheses by means of additive manufacturing extrusion processes
(English) In recent years, the use of prostheses has widely increased due to their ability to replace defective parts of the skeleton. Among artificial implants, hip joint plays a critical role in the human body since it ...
Assessment of water ecosystem services and alternative scenarios to climate change and human impact in neotropical mountains
(English) Water ecosystem services (ESw) are related to aquatic ecosystems and to the interaction with water and land in different ecosystems such as forests, agricultural lands, riparian areas, wetlands and water bodies. ...
Bio-sensing applications of electromagnetic scattering from spheroidal objects
(English) Bio-sensing technology has progressed rapidly over the past years due to their plethora of applications such as disease diagnosis, drug monitoring detection of pollutants, and disease-causing micro-organisms. ...
