Determinação dos efeitos estáticos de torção em edifícios altos devidos à ação do vento

Em um ambiente típico de cidade, onde vários edifícios altos e outros tipos de edificações encontram-se agrupados em grande proximidade, cada edifício pode influenciar o campo aerodinâmico dos outros e, portanto, as forças do vento agindo sobre os outros ao seu redor. A influência da vizinhança em determinadas situações pode ser favorável, por exemplo, servindo como proteção à incidência direta do vento. Entretanto, há casos em que a ação do vento pode causar efeitos indesejáveis: picos de sucção localizados, aumento dos valores médios das forças cortantes, momentos fletores e momentos torçores atuantes na edificação. Este trabalho visou analisar a resposta torcional devida aos efeitos estáticos da ação do vento em modelos reduzidos ensaiados no túnel de vento, de diversas configurações arquitetônicas, simulando as principais características reais do escoamento em que a edificação está imersa. Os resultados experimentais obtidos nos ensaios foram comparados com estimativas teóricas indicadas nas normas brasileira, canadense e alemã, e por um trabalho de pesquisa realizado por Isyumov, no Canadá. A análise dos resultados demonstrou que a NBR-6123, na sua recomendação das excentricidades das forças de arrasto para cálculo do momento torçor, subestima a indicação para a excentricidade na situação de edificações isoladas, porém cobre a maioria dos casos na prescrição da excentricidade para a situação de prédios submetidos aos efeitos de vizinhança.

Da descrição lexicográfica : o caso dos adjetivos estéticos no português brasileiro

Tendo como objetivo a investigação acerca da descrição lexicográfica dos adjetivos estéticos, este trabalho observou como se estruturam a microestrutura, no enfoque da descrição sintático-semântica, e a macroestrutura, no que toca à organização lexical, de adjetivos do campo semântico da estética, em dicionários vernaculares do português brasileiro. Fundamentaram a análise dos dados os conceitos, definições e metodologia de elaboração de artigos de dicionário da Teoria Lexicológica Explicativo-Combinatória, bem como das pesquisas léxicosemânticas presentes no Dicionário Explicativo-Combinatório do Francês Contemporâneo. Observou-se que os adjetivos descritos nos dicionários vernaculares carecem da informação lexical que é passível de ser delineada apenas mediante uma descrição sintático-semântica acurada e rigorosa, em termos de lexicografia com base lexicológica. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de serem estruturadas as entradas lexicais de adjetivos estéticos em obras lexicográficas, com base na sua caracterização sintático-semântica, que envolve, entre outras, questões de tipologia denotacional e inter-relação sintaxesemântica.

Desenvolvimento de um sistema para análise de integridade estrutural de equipamentos estáticos baseado em cad vps micro cracks e ultrassom

In general, the designs of equipment takes into account the effects and processes of deterioration it will undergo and arrives at an approximate useful life. However, changes in operational processes and parameters, the action of external agents, the kind of maintenance conducted, the means of monitoring, and natural and accidental occurrences completely modify the desired performance of the equipment. The discontinuities that occur in anisotropic materials often and due to different factors evolve from being subcritical to critical acquiring the status of defect and compromising the physical integrity of the equipment. Increasingly sophisticated technological means of detection, monitoring and assessment of these discontinuities are required to respond ever more rapidly to the requirements of industry. This paper therefore presents a VPS (Virtual Pipe System) computational tool which uses the results of ultrasonic tests on equipment, plotting the discontinuities found in models created in the CAD and CAE systems, and then simulates the behavior of these defects in the structure to give an instantaneous view of the final behavior. This paper also presents an alternative method of conventional ultrasonic testing which correlates the integrity of an overlay (carbon steel and stainless steel attached by welding) and the reflection of ultrasonic waves coming from the interface between the two metals, thus making it possible to identify cracks in the casing and a shift of the overlay

Utilizando Pesos estáticos e dinâmicos em sistemas multi-classificadores com diferentes níveis de diversidade

Although some individual techniques of supervised Machine Learning (ML), also known as classifiers, or algorithms of classification, to supply solutions that, most of the time, are considered efficient, have experimental results gotten with the use of large sets of pattern and/or that they have a expressive amount of irrelevant data or incomplete characteristic, that show a decrease in the efficiency of the precision of these techniques. In other words, such techniques can t do an recognition of patterns of an efficient form in complex problems. With the intention to get better performance and efficiency of these ML techniques, were thought about the idea to using some types of LM algorithms work jointly, thus origin to the term Multi-Classifier System (MCS). The MCS s presents, as component, different of LM algorithms, called of base classifiers, and realized a combination of results gotten for these algorithms to reach the final result. So that the MCS has a better performance that the base classifiers, the results gotten for each base classifier must present an certain diversity, in other words, a difference between the results gotten for each classifier that compose the system. It can be said that it does not make signification to have MCS s whose base classifiers have identical answers to the sames patterns. Although the MCS s present better results that the individually systems, has always the search to improve the results gotten for this type of system. Aim at this improvement and a better consistency in the results, as well as a larger diversity of the classifiers of a MCS, comes being recently searched methodologies that present as characteristic the use of weights, or confidence values. These weights can describe the importance that certain classifier supplied when associating with each pattern to a determined class. These weights still are used, in associate with the exits of the classifiers, during the process of recognition (use) of the MCS s. Exist different ways of calculating these weights and can be divided in two categories: the static weights and the dynamic weights. The first category of weights is characterizes for not having the modification of its values during the classification process, different it occurs with the second category, where the values suffers modifications during the classification process. In this work an analysis will be made to verify if the use of the weights, statics as much as dynamics, they can increase the perfomance of the MCS s in comparison with the individually systems. Moreover, will be made an analysis in the diversity gotten for the MCS s, for this mode verify if it has some relation between the use of the weights in the MCS s with different levels of diversity

Uso do GPR na geração de modelos estáticos 3D para o planejamento de lavra de minerais pesados depositados em dunas eólicas

This project was developed as a partnership between the Laboratory of Stratigraphical Analyses of the Geology Department of UFRN and the company Millennium Inorganic Chemicals Mineração Ltda. This company is located in the north end of the paraiban coast, in the municipal district of Mataraca. Millennium has as main prospected product, heavy minerals as ilmenita, rutilo and zircon presents in the sands of the dunes. These dunes are predominantly inactive, and overlap the superior portion of Barreiras Formation rocks. The mining happens with the use of a dredge that is emerged at an artificial lake on the dunes. This dredge removes sand dunes of the bottom lake (after it disassembles of the lake borders with water jets) and directs for the concentration plant, through piping where the minerals are then separate. The present work consisted in the acquisition external geometries of the dunes, where in the end a 3D Static Model could be set up of these sedimentary deposits with emphasis in the behavior of the structural top of Barreiras Formation rocks (inferior limit of the deposit). The knowledge of this surface is important in the phase of the plowing planning for the company, because a calculation mistake can do with that the dredge works too close of this limit, taking the risk that fragments can cause obstruction in the dredge generating a financial damage so much in the equipment repair as for the stopped days production. During the field stages (accomplished in 2006 and 2007) topographical techniques risings were used with Total Station and Geodesic GPS as well as shallow geophysical acquisitions with GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). It was acquired almost 10,4km of topography and 10km of profiles GPR. The Geodesic GPS was used for the data geopositioning and topographical rising of a traverse line with 630m of extension in the stage of 2007. The GPR was shown a reliable method, ecologically clean, fast acquisition and with a low cost in relation to traditional methods as surveys. The main advantage of this equipment is obtain a continuous information to superior surface Barreiras Formation rocks. The static models 3D were elaborated starting from the obtained data being used two specific softwares for visualization 3D: GoCAD 2.0.8 and Datamine. The visualization 3D allows a better understanding of the Barreiras surface behavior as well as it makes possible the execution of several types of measurements, favoring like calculations and allowing that procedures used for mineral extraction is used with larger safety
