In this paper, we are interested in the adaptive fuzzy control a technique has been studied and applied, namely adaptive fuzzy control based on theory of Lyapunov. The system based on the stability theory is used to approximate the gains ke and kdce to ensure the stability of the control in particular time, simulations results obtained by using MATLAB environment gives that the fuzzy adaptive control more robust, also it has superior dynamics performances. The results and test of robustness will be presented.

This paper deals with the robust power control of a grid-connected brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) driven by the variable speed wind turbine. With the using of a super twisting algorithm which is a high-order sliding mode controller (HOSMC). This approach guarantees both the dynamic performance and the same robustness as traditional first order (SMC) algorithm and reduces the chattering phenomenon, which is the biggest disadvantage in the implementation of this technique. The developed algorithm relies on the decoupling control by implementing the strategy of oriented grid flux vector control. In order to enhance the desired performances, an attempt is made by controlling the generated stator active and reactive powers in a linear and decoupled manner to ensure the global asymptotical stability, HOSMC approach is implemented. Therefore, an optimal operation of the BDFIG in sub-synchronous operation is used in addition to the stator power flows where the stator power factor is kept in a unity. The suggested method is examined with the Matlab/Simulink software. The performances and the feasibility of the designed control are illustrated by simulation results.

In recent decades, vascular surgery has seen the arrival of endovascular techniques for the treatment of vascular diseases such as aortic diseases (aneurysms, dissections, and atherosclerosis). The 3D printing process by addition of material gives an effector of choice to the digital chain, opening the way to the manufacture of shapes and complex geometries, impossible to achieve before with conventional methods. This chapter focuses on the bio-design study of the thoracic aorta in adults. A bio-design protocol was established based on medical imaging, extraction of the shape, and finally, the 3D modeling of the aorta; secondly, a bio-printing method based on 3D printing that could serve as regenerative medicine has been proposed. A simulation of the bio-printing process was carried out under the software Simufact Additive whose purpose is to predict the distortion and residual stress of the printed model. The binder injection printing technique in a Powder Bed Printer (PBP) bed is used. The results obtained are very acceptable compared with the results of the error elements found.

In this investigation, a new simple triangular strain based membrane element with drilling rotation for 2-D structures analysis is proposed. This new numerical model can be used for linear and dynamic analysis. The triangular element is named SBTE and it has three nodes with three degrees of freedom at each node. The displacements field of this element is based on the assumed functions for the various strains satisfying the compatibility equations. This developed element passed both patch and benchmark tests in the case of bending and shear problems. For the dynamic analysis, lumped mass with implicit/explicit time integration are employed. The obtained numerical results using the developed element converge toward the analytical and numerical solutions in both analyses.

In this work we present a new biomimetic disc prosthesis imitating the fibroreinforced osmotic, and viscoelastic properties of the biological intervertebral disc (BID). For this, we proposed to study the second-generation biomimetic prosthesis "the M6-C prosthesis" which contains two metal plates, a core and a fiber fabric. First, a 3D model was established, the finite element analysis (FEA) under the ANSYS©2015 was conducted. Secondly, a biomimetic material, the silicone rubber, was compared with the polyethylene to find the material that mimics the behavior of a biological disk. Finally, the analysis of the results found the polymer has the same mechanical properties as the nucleus pulposus, in particular the viscoelastic behaviour compared with that of polyethylene

The software evolution process means the continuous control of functional and non -functional software characteristics by the change of its code without changing the properties of its quality neither the quality of its architecture. Therefore, the most important problem to be treated is how to limit the progressive shifting between the planned and the implemented architecture during the software evolution process. This phenomenon called the erosion of software architecture, often appears unexpectedly and must be controlled. In this paper, we have proposed an approach to detect erosion problems by representing tactical, strategic, and operational architectural constraints at different abstraction levels. These constraints are specified by the use of the Alloy constraint language in order to restore the deviations that may affect the description of the software architecture during the development steps. Our goal is to control architecture quality by limiting the occurrence and impact of erosion, which means the control of architecture conformance during system development and maintenance activities.
