Study of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based bimorph actuators for laser scanning actuation at kHz frequency range

Hannes Bleuler, Ricardo Pérez Suárez

This work focuses on some promising applications of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based bimorph actuators in microengineering. The actuator of several centimeters in length and 100 mu m in thickness takes advantage of the structural and electromechanical ...

Fast Parametric Snakes For 3D Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

We present a new fast active contour for images in 3D microscopy. We introduce a fully parametric design that relies on exponential B-spline bases and allows us to impose a sphere-like topology. The proposed 3D snake can approximate blob-like objects with ...

Numerical Simulation and Optimization of the Alumina Distribution in an Aluminium Electrolysis Pot

Thomas Hofer

This thesis is about the numerical simulation and optimization of the alumina repartition in the bath of an aluminium electrolysis pot. A mathematical model is set up which contains the feeding of alumina particles to the bath, the dissolution of the parti ...

Analysis of the economic criteria used in energy efficiency optimization of industrial systems

Serge Baechler

A previous study, of Wenk, 2011, showed, in the case of a simple heat exchanger model, inconsistencies between optimization results with different investment decision criteria. As a result, a deep analysis of the state of the art in financial decision maki ...

Design for Self-Sensing of a Linear Actuator

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Joël Maridor

This paper presents a complete method for optimizing a linear actuator in order to perform its sensorless speed control. The optimizer maximizes the difference of inductances between two positions of interest in order to perform the efficient position dete ...

Modeling of the air film pressure for a haptic touch actuator

Yves Perriard, Christophe Winter

In the scope of haptic touch feedback actuators, we discuss the phenomenon of creating the haptic experience by squeezing the air film between the user finger and the actuator. The focus is given in the modeling of the squeeze film effect. An existing anal ...

Control of velocity for a linear actuator

Silas Kull

This project was done in the laboratory of integrated actuators (LAI) during the first master semester. It is part of a PhD-work with linear actuators, also called relays, where these actuators are optimized in design and equipped with a speed control duri ...
