Estatística das aplicações de métodos multicritério nas áreas da engenharia de produção

Currently, the decision analysis in production processes involves a level of detail, in which the problem is subdivided to analyze it in terms of different and conflicting points of view. The multi-criteria analysis has been an important tool that helps assertive decisions related to the production process. This process of analysis has been incorporated into various areas of production engineering, by applying multi-criteria methods in solving the problems of the productive sector. This research presents a statistical study on the use of multi-criteria methods in the areas of Production Engineering, where 935 papers were filtered from 20.663 publications in scientific journals, considering a level of the publication quality based on the impact factor published by the JCR between 2010 and 2015. In this work, the descriptive statistics is used to represent some information and statistical analysis on the volume of applications methods. Relevant results were found with respect to the "amount of advanced methods that are being applied and in which areas related to Production Engineering." This information may provide support to researchers when preparing a multi-criteria application, whereupon it will be possible to check in which issues and how often the other authors have used multi-criteria methods.

Implementação em FPGA de compensadores de desvios para conversor analógico digital intercalado

This work presents the modeling and FPGA implementation of digital TIADC mismatches compensation systems. The development of the whole work follows a top-down methodology. Following this methodology was developed a two channel TIADC behavior modeling and their respective offset, gain and clock skew mismatches on Simulink. In addition was developed digital mismatch compensation system behavior modeling. For clock skew mismatch compensation fractional delay filters were used, more specifically, the efficient Farrow struct. The definition of wich filter design methodology would be used, and wich Farrow structure, required the study of various design methods presented in literature. The digital compensation systems models were converted to VHDL, for FPGA implementation and validation. These system validation was carried out using the test methodology FPGA In Loop . The results obtained with TIADC mismatch compensators show the high performance gain provided by these structures. Beyond this result, these work illustrates the potential of design, implementation and FPGA test methodologies.
