Analysis of Mathieu Equation Stable Solutions in the First Zone of Stability
No full textAbstractThe paper presents the results of a homogeneous Mathieu equation studies. Mathieu equation solutions are oscillations, modulated in amplitude and frequency. In the computational experiments we found dependences of the given oscillations on the ratio of the coefficients. These dependences are shown in graphs that can be used for an approximate estimation of the Mathieu equation solutions without integration
Pensar las escalas para pensar las luchas: Autor: Mathieu UHEL
No full textA través de un título sugerente, “pensar las escalas para pensar las luchas”, Mathieu Uhel entreteje la construcción teórico-crítica del concepto escala, generada por la geografía radical anglosajona de finales del siglo XX, con la necesidad/utilidad práctica de la escala para concienciar las luchas sociales. El artículo cumple un doble propósito: por un lado, delinear los elementos de lectura sobre el concepto escala; y, con ello, promover la atención de esta problemática en las luchas contemporáneas. En un primer apartado, Uhel ubica las discusiones académicas en torno a la escala, como herramienta metodológica útil para comprender la complejidad de las sociedades capitalistas; en el segundo apartado, el autor avanza la exposición en torno al contexto de la dimensión escalar del imperialismo capitalista; finalmente, el autor se centra en el rol de la actividad política a escala nacional en la tensa relación entre las imposiciones del capital y la lucha social.Por meio de um título sugestivo, “pensando escalas para pensar lutas”, Mathieu Uhel entrelaça a construção teórico-crítica do conceito de escala, gerado pela geografia radical anglo-saxônica do final do século XX, com a necessidade / utilidade prática escala para aumentar a consciência das lutas sociais.

The article serves two purposes: on the one hand, Uhel locates academic discussion around scale; and, with this, he promotes attention to this problem in contemporary struggles. In the first section, Uhel locates academic discussions around scale, as a useful methodological tool to understand the complexity of capitalist societies; in the second section, the author advances the argument around the context of the scalar dimension of capitalist imperialism; finally, the author focuses on the role of political activity on a national scale in the tense relationship between the impositions of capital and the social movement
Mathieu Ichou, Les Enfants d’immigrés à l’école
No full textIt is common to hear in the fields of educational and immigration sociology that on average, the children of immigrants do not perform as well in school as children of native-born parents. Mathieu Ichou offers an innovative sociological analysis on a topic that is heavily exploited by political and media discourse, and subject to much scientific controversy. The author takes distance from the homogenized vision of a “second generation” of students who have totally failed academically, and rep..
Structural source identification using a generalized Tikhonov regularization
No full textInternational audienceThis paper addresses the problem of identifying mechanical exciting forces from vibration measurements. The proposed approach is based on a generalized Tikhonov regularization that allows taking into account prior information on the measurement noise as well as on the main characteristics of sources to identify like its sparsity or regularity. To solve such a regulariza-tion problem efficiently, a Generalized Iteratively Reweighted Least-Squares (GIRLS) algorithm is introduced. Proposed numerical and experimental validations reveal the crucial role of prior information in the quality of the source identification and the performance of the GIRLS algorithm
L'impatto dell'attività tintoria sull'ambiente. Firenze alla fine del Medioevo
No full textThe author aims to examine and categorize the range of dyeings materials used in the Florentine wool and silk textile industries in the late Middle Ages, focusing mainly on those produced within the regional space in order to evaluate the impact of the Florentine dyeing activity on the natural environment and the productive landscape of the Tuscan countryside. In particular, the author establishes a line of demarcation between cultivated and uncultivated resources in order to verify which constitutes an indication of the level of industrial development of medieval textile production. This further focuses on how the transition from the exploitation of wild resources to the exploitation of cultivated resources could reflect a greater degree of economic integration between the countryside and the city and contribute to the formation of a regional economic space
Mathieu de Fossey: su visión del mundo indígena mexicano
No full textThroughout these pages the author shows how Mathieu de Fossey perceived that it was not easy to make indigenous communities fit within the mould of the nation-state which, being based on the liberal and egualitarian ideology, was against the recognition of special regimes, such as those that created a peculiar status for the native population of the American territory during the period of Spanish colonial domination
Vibro-acoustique des structures immergées sous écoulement turbulent
No full textThe aim of this thesis is the study of the hydrodynamic self-noise under a SONAR dome from 10 Hz to a few kHz. For this purpose, three particular studies has to be considered : the modelling of the vibro-acoustic behaviour of immersed structures in heavy fluid, the implementation of the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) excitation in deterministic formulations and the measurement of the response of a structure to a TBL. The first chapter is devoted to a bibliographical study of existing methods to deal with such problems. In the second chapter, we introduce the PTF (Patch Transfer Functions) method, which is based on substructuring and impedance/mobility concepts. This approach allows solving vibro-acoustic problems in the low and mid-frequency ranges. Because this method has only been applied to light fluid cases, one of the main issues of this chapter is the study of its applicability to heavy fluid cases. In the latter situation, convergence difficulties are observed. To overcome them, two strategies are developed in the third chapter to improve the global convergence of the method. The fourth chapter presents an application of the PTF method to a structure subjected to a TBL excitation and coupled to an external fluid medium and an acoustic cavity, cluttered up by elastic structures. To solve this problem, we first complete the PTF model by introducing the TBL excitation in the method from a plane waves expansion of the TBL cross-spectrum. Then, we introduce the computation of the PTF of an external fluid medium and that of a cavity cluttered up by elastic structures from a simplified model of the clutter. This application highlights the non-negligible influence of the clutter on the vibro-acoustic response of the whole system. In the fifth chapter, an experimental technique to simulate the behaviour of structures under TBL is developed. This technique is based on the plane waves expansion presented in chapter 4 and required the generation of wall pressure fields corresponding to those of propagating and evanescent waves to represent the spectral features of the TBL. To this end, a monopole array is used. The main parameters of the array are numerically estimated. The number of monopoles increasing with frequency, the experimental implementation of this technique can be delicate. To overcome this difficulty, the use of a synthetic antenna is introduced. The experimental validation of this technique is studied in the last chapter.L'objectif de cette thèse est l'étude du bruit propre d'origine hydrodynamique au niveau de l'antenne d'étrave d'un sous-marin pour des fréquences comprises entre 10 Hz et quelques kHz. Dans cette optique, trois problématiques particulières doivent être étudiées : la modélisation du comportement vibro-acoustique des structures en fluide lourd, l'intégration de l'excitation couche limite turbulente (CLT) dans les modèles numériques déterministes et la mesure de la réponse d'une structure sous écoulement turbulent. Le premier chapitre est consacré à la synthèse bibliographique des différentes méthodes existantes pour étudier de tels problèmes. Dans un second chapitre, nous présentons la méthode PTF (Patch Transfer Functions), qui est une approche par sous-structuration de domaines permettant l'étude des problèmes vibro-acoustiques en basses et moyennes fréquences. Cette méthode n'ayant été appliquée qu'en fluide léger, l'un des enjeux de ce chapitre est d'étudier son applicabilité en fluide lourd et de mettre en lumière d'éventuels points de blocage. Nous montrons ainsi que des problèmes de convergence de la méthode apparaissent en fluide lourd. Pour pallier ces difficultés, nous présentons, dans le troisième chapitre, deux stratégies de calcul permettant d'accélérer la convergence globale de la méthode. Le quatrième chapitre propose une application de la méthode PTF pour caractériser la réponse vibro-acoustique en fluide lourd d'une structure soumise à une CLT et couplée à un milieu fluide extérieur et à une cavité acoustique, encombrée par des structures déformables. Pour traiter ce problème, nous complétons, tout d'abord, le modèle PTF par l'introduction de l'excitation CLT dans les modèles déterministes, à partir d'une décomposition de l'interspectre des fluctuations de pression pariétale sur une base d'ondes planes décorrélées. Nous présentons, ensuite, le calcul de l'impédance de rayonnement par pavé pour des surfaces de couplage de géométrie quelconque, ainsi qu'un modèle d'encombrement permettant, à partir de considérations physiques, de tenir compte simplement de la complexité structurale de structures encombrant une cavité acoustique. Cette application nous permet de montrer que l'influence de l'encombrement des cavités sur la réponse vibro-acoustique du système ne peut pas être négligée, lorsque l'on s'intéresse à l'étude du bruit hydrodynamique au niveau d'une antenne d'étrave de sous-marin. Dans le cinquième chapitre, nous développons une technique expérimentale permettant de caractériser le comportement des structures sous écoulement turbulent. Cette technique est basée sur la décomposition en ondes planes décorrélées présentée au chapitre 4 et nécessite la génération de champs de pression pariétale correspondant à ceux que l'on obtiendrait à partir d'ondes propagatives et évanescentes pour tenir compte des caractéristiques spectrales de la CLT. Pour cela, nous utilisons une antenne de monopôles acoustiques, dont nous déterminons numériquement les principaux paramètres (taille, nombre de monopôles et distance antenne paroi). Le nombre de monopôles augmentant avec la fréquence, la mise en oeuvre de cette méthode peut s'avérer délicate. Pour contourner cette difficulté, nous présentons le principe de l'antenne synthétique, dont la validation expérimentale est étudiée dans le dernier chapitre
