Vibration Control Applied in a Semi-Active Suspension using Magneto Rheological Damper and Optimal Linear Control Design

In this paper we study the behavior of a semi-active suspension witch external vibrations. The mathematical model is proposed coupled to a magneto rheological (MR) damper. The goal of this work is stabilize of the external vibration that affect the comfort and durability an vehicle, to control these vibrations we propose the combination of two control strategies, the optimal linear control and the magneto rheological (MR) damper. The optimal linear control is a linear feedback control problem for nonlinear systems, under the optimal control theory viewpoint We also developed the optimal linear control design with the scope in to reducing the external vibrating of the nonlinear systems in a stable point. Here, we discuss the conditions that allow us to the linear optimal control for this kind of non-linear system.

O design no contexto histórico da arte: uma visão da arte e do design a partir do ornamento

Drawing an equivalence analogy between the subjects of style and the ornamentation, the study leans on Aloïs Riegl's theory in order to sketch an anthropological reflection for the appearance of the design and some of their respective confluences with the art. Enriched by the progresses that the psychology of the visual perception provided to the contemporary understanding for the artistic representation, and consequently of this historicity, breaks of the hypothesis that this appearance has given in a process naturally evolutionary, aiming at to supply an inherent human need.

Processo de avaliação de uma disciplina de Design de Interiores

This study aims to present the strategies and assumptions used to evaluate a class entitled Design Furniture seeking their improvement and adapting the expectations of the profession of Interior Design Technologist. Initially the study focused on the contexts of Design Teaching and Higher Education in Brazil, with the purpose of adequacy of theory with practice. The method of continuous evaluation was used over two semesters with two classes. This study presents and discusses the data of one of the groups. This evaluation method helped in adequacy of teaching regarding the methodology, content and expectations of students and teacher. As a result, furniture were produced based on the type of evaluation chosen by the student, showing academic progress.
