In this thesis we consider two optimal routing problems in networks. Both are NP-hard and are often used to modelize real life problems of large size. We first present the capacitated arc routing problem (CARP). In this problem, we have to serve a set of c ...
From a shape change point of view, the shape memory effect is not intrinsically reversible. Therefore developing Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) actuators, i.e. devices producing a motion, requires a suitable method to bypass this intrinsic property. Since the s ...
PZT (PbZrx Ti1-xO3) thin films have been locally grown by means of sol-gel deposition and local annealing on microhotplates. The microhotplates were based on a stress compensated Si3N4 /SiO2 membranes as structural elements and contained tantalum silicide ...
The aim of this paper is to present a global approach to dynamic optimization of batch emulsion polymerization reactors using a stochastic optimizer. The objective is to minimize the final batch time with constraints on the final conversion and molecular w ...
CXTANNEAL is a program for analysing contaminant transport in soils. The code, written in Fortran 77, is a modified version of CXTFIT, a commonly used package for estimating solute transport parameters in soils. The improvement of the present code is that ...
From a sustainable development perspective, the newly developed automatic controllers for building services are very promising in that they increase energy efficiency and reduce commissioning and maintenance costs. But a major problem has appeared as the a ...
The concept of monolithic shape memory alloys (SMA) micro-devices is to integrate all device functions within the same piece of material. This is very interesting in the field of micro-systems, because assembly is avoided. In such devices, the main problem ...
