Fatigue and durability assessment of PA6-based carbono fiber composites for lightweight application

Abstract: The use of lightweight structural elements across various industries has seen significant progress due to the adoption of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs). Among these, polyamide 6 (PA6) stands out as a prevalent thermoplastic polymer, renowned for its exceptional processability, favorable mechanical attributes, and cost-effectiveness. These qualities position it as Leia mais…

Characterization of na inactive dumpsite using electrical resistivity tomography and hydrochemcical data: a case study in Brazil

Abstract: Open dumping is one of the most common solid waste disposal methods in developing countries. As they lack planning and basic environmental protection engineering measures, dumpsites represent environmental and health risks that should be investigated. However, several dumpsites are abandoned without appropriate land-use management, difculting their proper environmental assessment. Leia mais…

Assessing the environmental impacto f oil spills in beach environments: a case study using the capacitive resistivity method

Abstract: The accident involving oil spill that occurred on the Brazilian coast in 2019 reached 2,880 km in extension, and more than 200 tons of oily material was removed from coastal environments in the northeast of the country in about five months. In the impact on beach environment there may Leia mais…

Feasibility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for determinations of neodymium in magnet alloys

Abstract: The quantification of rare earth elements in (Nd-Pr)-FeB alloys used in the production of super magnets is required to ensure the quality of the raw material and a final product with suitable properties. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is attractive to this aim by avoiding the need for decomposition of the Leia mais…

Vibration measurement by projection of phase-modulated and amplitude-modulated strucutred light

Abstract: Most of the whole-field optical methods for vibration measurement have low sensitivity when the points of the studied surface vibrate with the same amplitude. Those techniques also usually require complex and/or expensive solutions which are difficult to implement in engineering processes when the vibration amplitudes are relatively high. In Leia mais…

In situ termal conductivity of a paraffinic phase change material in a colad finger configuration

Abstract: Phase change materials (PCMs) such as paraffins are widely applied to store thermal energy. PCMs displaying high thermal conductivities are desirable because they crystallize or melt rapidly when the temperature in the environment changes, absorbing or releasing latent heat accordingly. In this work, we experimentally determined the thermal conductivity Leia mais…

Enchancing mechanical properties and wear resistance of heavy-haul systems through complex microstructure control

Abstract: This study delves into the formulation of an advancedmicrostructure in medium-carbon high silicon spring steel through a series of engineered heat treatments. The microstructure, composed of lower bainite, proeutectoid ferrite, and pearlite, exhibits superior mechanical properties compared to traditional pearlitic steel. Specifically, the novelmicrostructure yields a strength of 870 Leia mais…

A tomografia como ferramenta para a avaliação de integridade estrutural

Resumo: A integridade estrutural é parte vital para o bom andamento de qualquer organização, especialmente quando os riscos operacionais e ocupacionais envolvidos nas operações estão presentes no cotidiano. Seja em plataformas de petróleo, em malhas ferroviárias ou em torres de energia eólica, o monitoramento estrutural tem apresentado resultados significativos tanto Leia mais…

Estudo do comportamento de resinas epoxídicas utilizadas em sistemas de reforço quando expostas ao protocolo de degradação acelerado proposto pela norma = Study of the behavior of epoxy resins used in strengthening systems when exposed to the accelerated degradation protocol proposed by ACI 440.9R (2015)

Resumo: Atualmente, como alternativa de reforço de elementos de concreto armado, técnicas baseadas no uso de materiais compósitos, tal como a EBR (Externally Bonded Reinforcement, na língua inglesa), aplicada diretamente no substrato de concreto do elemento a ser reforçado com o uso de resinas epoxídicas, têm sido utilizadas. Embora os Leia mais…
