Analise de desgaste em materiais aplicados em discos de freio

Baja SAE competitions challenge engineering students to design and build offroad vehicles, preparing them for the competitive job market. This monograph aims to study a part of the braking of a Baja SAE vehicle system, the brake disc. Giving attention to the wear suffered by discs of two different materials, steel 1045 and stainless steel 304, helping the team Piratas do Vale Bardahl in the best selection between them. Braking tests were performed on a test bench. Both discs have suffered the same braking conditions. Brake pads material, brake line pressure, braking time, number of braking, were parameters which were repeated in the testing of different types of disk, in order to ensure a high power comparison between the obtained data. Before and after the disk tests were weighed and measured, to make a comparison. After the brake tests, the disks were subjected to hardness and surface roughness testing. With the data collected and observations made in the worn parts, the comparison between these two materials was made, obtaining a selection of the best material for the team. The tests showed that steel 1045 has more advantages, compared to stainless steel 304, when applied to brake discs, on the tested conditions

Pontes de madeira para pequenos vãos para situações emergenciais

In Brazil there are many cases of cities that suffer from flooding. It often destroys much of the structure of the city, and isolates many families. Relying on emergency measures for these cases and similar cases is of utmost importance. This paper proposes the development of a project of a timber bridge that can be used in emergency situations such as occurs in situations of floods and especially on side roads. It is considered one type of structural bridge which has, among other characteristics, an easy transportation and assembly of the elements. The development is carried out, at this early stage of the project, only about the verification and sizing of structural elements of the superstructure of the bridge. For this purpose, it relies on computer programs, and fundamentally on PCFrame Visual Taco. The first allows you to model the structure and determine the efforts of calculating the elements, and the second one assists at the scaling and the verifications in accordance with the Brazilian technical standards for timber bridges. The wood used in the project comes from the tree Eucalyptus saligna, which is easy to acquaint and manipulate and comes from the region Vale do Paraíba. The bridge in this case of application should have the characteristics mentioned below: short execution time, simplicity of structure and an assembly of a relatively low cost

Desenvolvimento de uma caixa de redução para veículo Baja SAE

A gear Box in a Baja SAE vehicle is required due to the objectives of the SAE competitions, which the vehicles are challenged to pass through different obstacles. A powertrain system has as the main objective the extension of the torque for the traction shaft of the vehicle, when compared to that one available in the engine. The Objective of this thesis is the description of a gear box project for a Baja SAE vehicle of the Piratas do Vale Team of Unesp Guaratinguetá. In the development of the thesis, a flowchart, developed by the team, was used, which includes a theory part and also the choice of shelf components. In this Project, the type of gearbox was chosen, besides the calculation of axles, gears, bearings and sealers, and software simulations were done for the critical parts. The transmission, developed in this thesis, is more complex than the current one used by the team, but the new one shows improvements, as a new reverse gear with high torque

Avaliação da rigidez torcional do chassi de um protótipo Baja SAE através do método de elementos finitos e de ensaio experimental

The torsional stiffness of chassis is one of the most important properties of a vehicle's structure and therefore its measurement is important. For the first time, the torsional stiffness was considered on the design of a prototype Baja SAE of the team from UNESP - FEG, Equipe Piratas do Vale Bardahl. According to the team's opinion, the increase of stiffness on this prototype, called MB1114, made possible a great improvement in its performance during competitions. In this work, the experimental evaluation of the torsional stiffness from this prototype is performed, detailing the analysis of results, as well as, the hysteresis' effect, least-squares regression and uncertainty analysis. It also shows that it is possible to measure the torsional stiffness of chassis with a low experimental uncertainty without expending many resources. The test rig costed R$ 32,50 due the reuse of materials and the use of instrumentation already available on campus. Furthermore, it is simple to produce and can be easily stocked. Those features are important for Baja and Formula SAE teams. Lastly, the measured value is used to validate the finite element analysis performed by the team during this prototype's design, because similar studies will be performed for the new cars. After investigating the finite element analysis, one result 13,5% higher than the measured value was reached. This difference is believed to be occurred due the imperfections of the finite element model, in other words, for not been possible to simulate every phenomena present on the real model

Simulação da suspensão tipo duplo A de um veículo off-road através do histórico de excitação do solo

The search for mechanical components validation methods, employed in product development sector, becomes more avid for less expensive solutions. As a result, programs that can simulate forces acting on a given part through finite element method are gaining more space in the market, once this process consumes less capital when compared to currently-employed empirical validation. This article shows the simulation of an off-road prototype suspension through such technique, using ground excitation history coming from field measurements and also by making use of a specific tool for obtaining dynamic loads from the model in question. The results shown at the end is key for future enhancements aiming mass reduction, for example, that may be executed on the prototype suspension system discussed here

A inserção da educação ambiental não formal no processo de implantação de saneamento ambiental na comunidade rural Colonia Mergulhão, São José dos Pinhais - PR

One of the biggest environmental problems of the population is the lack of sewage treatment, especially in rural communities and low-income. The development of technologies for efficient, low-cost sanitation need to be developed to meet the disadvantaged people of this basic service. This work was the implementation proposal of a technology called constructed wetlands, also known as Wastewater Treatment Plant for Roots Zone - ETEZR. The objective was to develop a non- formal environmental education proposal for redevelopment, using outreach methods for residents and deployment of this technology ETEZR in the rural community of Cologne Grebe in Sao Jose dos Pinhais - PR. With technical support from the Paranaense Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Institute -EMATER and the Federal Technological University of Paraná - UTFPR, 5 ETEZR were deployed in the colony through three theoretical and practical workshops, which involved total 67 people from the community 5 technicians EMATER and 13 of the Municipal Town Hall. Após4 months of implementation were carried out two collections of raw wastewater and treated to analyze physical, chemical and biological parameters. The results evaluated by chemical parameters BOD, COD, phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen comparing raw and treated sewage, demonstrate that ETEZR are effective in the treatment of sewage. 5 Seasons minimum and maximum efficiency between the basic parameters analyzed were 52.2 to 95.5% for BOD; 47 to 94.5% for COD; 21.5 to 96% phosphorus; 30-98% for ammonia nitrogen. Oils and greases, and a series of solid also achieved a significant reduction in their values when comparing the raw sewage and treated sewage, and biological parameters evaluated by means of coliforms showed a reduction of 80 to 99%. With the implementation of environmental education process aimed sanitation was possible to evaluate the perception of the population to accept the environmental sanitation technology using the ETEZR, understand the needs and sanitation concepts for the community. This research evaluated the development of the methodology applied by the non-formal environmental education in order to provide subsidies for rural sanitation plan process for the municipality.

Estudo de solos subtropicais visando o emprego na construção de habitações de baixo custo

Esta pesquisa visa o estudo de características físicas e mecânicas de solos subtropicais, para aplicação na construção de habitações de baixo custo, abordando-se principalmente a técnica de construção com paredes monolíticas compactadas. A opçao pelo estudo do solo, realizado sem a adição de estabilizantes fisico-químicos, baseia-se no fato de que a mesma nem sempre é necessária, embora seja vital em alguns casos. Através da revisão de literatura, são ressaltadas as propriedades dos solos consideradas importantes para construção deste tipo de moradia, bem como os fatores envolvidos na durabilidade da mesma. Foi realizado o estudo de jazidas de solos, pertencentes a algumas das unidades geotécnicas da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, levando-se sempre em conta este tipo de aplicação. Para tanto, são realizados ensaios laboratoriais de caracterização física dos solos, bem como de comportamento mecânico, testando-se resistência à compressão simples e à erosão, e absorção por capilaridade. Além disso, é feita a análise qualitativa da durabilidade de blocos compactados frente a exposição ao tempo. Estes blocos visam simular a condição de pequenos segmentos de paredes. Os resultados obtidos são analisados e comparados com as recomendações da prática deste tipo de construção, avaliando-se a validade das mesmas para o caso de solos tropicais e subtropicais

Por um modelo integrado de sistema de informações para a documentação de projetos de obras de edificação da indústria da construção civil

Em todas as organizações, o tratamento dos dados e das informações tem representado grande parte das preocupações dos administradores. A introdução de sistemas de informações e de tecnologia da informação, no seu mais amplo sentido, nas empresas de todas as especialidades, independentemente de seu porte, propicia agilidade, rapidez e precisão aos negócios. Contudo as empresas do subsetor de edificações da indústria da construção civil têm se caracterizado pelo uso de recursos computacionais num nível inferior ao observado em outros ramos industriais. Esta resistência à introdução de novas tecnologias é inversamente proporcional à quantidade de dados e informações processados e compartilhados pelos profissionais do setor. Em particular, deve-se salientar que, no processo de desenvolvimento do projeto executivo de uma obra de edificação, um número enorme de dados e informações recebe algum tipo de tratamento. Verificando-se que o processo de desenvolvimento dos documentos complementares à parte gráfica dos projetos, principalmente nas pequenas e i micro-empresas, tem se apresentado de forma inadequada à importância do setor e dos próprios documentos, este trabalho desenvolveu um sistema de informações baseado num modelo que integra a elaboração desses vários documentos. O sistema, denominado SINDOC, auxilia os usuários nos processos decisórios, fazendo com que soluções adequadas, completas e coerentes venham a ser obtidas. Para oferecer subsídios ao desenvolvimento do sistema, empresas do setor foram analisadas, assim como o perfil dos seus profissionais. Estes estudos garantiram que o sistema resultante fosse adequado para o setor. Isto foi comprovado mediante experimento em laboratório utilizado para avaliar e validar o sistema. O trabalho pretende contribuir para incentivar mudanças nas empresas do subsetor de edificações quanto ao tratamento de dados e informações, apresentando sistema adequado às suas necessidades e às características de seus usuários.

Contratação de Gerentes de Projetos: relevância da certificação PMP na Construção Civil

The goal of the study was to understand the relevance of the PMP certification – Project Management Professional in the hiring process of managers within the civil construction field. In order to achieve this goal a qualitative research with interviews in 11 companies was conducted. Common patters in the hiring process of project managers in the civil construction companies were observed. Although, opposite to what previous research had shown, in this field the PMP certification is not a required hiring criteria for project managers. According to the companies the tools and knowledge proposed by PMI institute are considered as important after managers had been hired. From evidence that the nature of the activity and the organizational structure chosen by the specific company influence in the hiring criteria and also in the success of the projects, a research agenda is suggested.
