Método híbrido para detecção e diagnóstico de falhas baseado em resíduos

The detection and diagnosis of faults, ie., find out how , where and why failures occur is an important area of study since man came to be replaced by machines. However, no technique studied to date can solve definitively the problem. Differences in dynamic systems, whether linear, nonlinear, variant or invariant in time, with physical or analytical redundancy, hamper research in order to obtain a unique solution . In this paper, a technique for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) will be presented in dynamic systems using state observers in conjunction with other tools in order to create a hybrid FDD. A modified state observer is used to create a residue that allows also the detection and diagnosis of faults. A bank of faults signatures will be created using statistical tools and finally an approach using mean squared error ( MSE ) will assist in the study of the behavior of fault diagnosis even in the presence of noise . This methodology is then applied to an educational plant with coupled tanks and other with industrial instrumentation to validate the system.

Mecanismo de tolerância a falhas através de escalonamento para uma arquitetura reconfigurável de grão grosso

The continuous evolution of integrated circuit technology has allowed integrating thousands of transistors on a single chip. This is due to the miniaturization process, which reduces the diameter of wires and transistors. One drawback of this process is that the circuit becomes more fragile and susceptible to break, making the circuit more susceptible to permanent faults during the manufacturing process as well as during their lifetime. Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRAs) have been used as an alternative to traditional architectures in an attempt to tolerate such faults due to its intrinsic hardware redundancy and high performance. This work proposes a fault tolerance mechanism in a CGRA in order to increase the architecture fault tolerance even considering a high fault rate. The proposed mechanism was added to the scheduler, which is the mechanism responsible for mapping instructions onto the architecture. The instruction mapping occurs at runtime, translating binary code without the need for recompilation. Furthermore, to allow faster implementation, instruction mapping is performed using a greedy module scheduling algorithm, which consists of a software pipeline technique for loop acceleration. The results show that, even with the proposed mechanism, the time for mapping instructions is still in order of microseconds. This result allows that instruction mapping process remains at runtime. In addition, a study was also carried out mapping scheduler rate. The results demonstrate that even at fault rates over 50% in functional units and interconnection components, the scheduler was able to map instructions onto the architecture in most of the tested applications.

FTE-LEACH: um protocolo energeticamente eficiente e tolerante a falhas aplicado às redes industriais de sensores sem fio

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of distributed devices in an area in order to monitor physical variables such as temperature, pressure, vibration, motion and environmental conditions in places where wired networks would be difficult or impractical to implement, for example, industrial applications of difficult access, monitoring and control of oil wells on-shore or off-shore, monitoring of large areas of agricultural and animal farming, among others. To be viable, a WSN should have important requirements such as low cost, low latency, and especially low power consumption. However, to ensure these requirements, these networks suffer from limited resources, and eventually being used in hostile environments, leading to high failure rates, such as segmented routing, mes sage loss, reducing efficiency, and compromising the entire network, inclusive. This work aims to present the FTE-LEACH, a fault tolerant and energy efficient routing protocol that maintains efficiency in communication and dissemination of data.This protocol was developed based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and suitable for industrial networks with limited energy resources

Evolução dos sistemas de falhas de borda do Rifte Potiguar com base em curvas de crescimento de falhas

The discussion about rift evolution in the Brazilian Equatorial margin during the South America-Africa breakup in the Jurassic/Cretaceous has been focused in many researches. But rift evolution based on development and growth of faults has not been well explored. In this sense, we investigated the Cretaceous Potiguar Basin in the Equatorial margin of Brazil to understand the geometry of major faults and the influence of crustal heterogeneity and preexisting structural fabric in the evolution of the basin internal architecture. Previous studies pointed out that the rift is an asymmetrical half-graben elongated along the NE-SW direction. We used 2D seismic, well logs and 3D gravity modeling to analyze four major border fault segments and determine their maximum displacement (Dmax) and length (L) ratio in the Potiguar Rift. We constrained the 3D gravity modeling with well data and the interpretation of seismic sections. The difference of the fault displacement measured in the gravity model is in the order of 10% compared to seismic and well data. The fault-growth curves allowed us to divide the faulted rift border into four main fault segments, which provide roughly similar Dmax/L ratios. Fault-growth curves suggest that a regional uniform tectonic mechanism influenced growth of the rift fault segments. The variation of the displacements along the fault segments indicates that the fault segments were formed independently during rift initiation and were linked by hard and soft linkages. The latter formed relay ramps. In the interconnection zones the Dmax/L ratios are highest due to interference of fault segment motions. We divided the evolution of the Potiguar Rift into five stages based on these ratios and correlated them with the major tectonic stages of the breakup between South America and Africa in Early Cretaceous.

Análise de falhas em rolamentos por análise de vibração aplicado a aerogeradores

With the heavy use of bearings in various segments of the industry, there are a large number of necessary interruptions in industrial processes to perform maintenance on these devices, with the case study wind turbines. The growth of the wind energy sector, encouraged to conduct research that helps to solve this problem. To contribute to predictive maintenance has been carried out a signal analysis using techniques which allow detection and location of the problem in order to prevent accidents caused and losses due to unexpected equipment failures, whereas low system rotation complicates the detection of the failure. To work around this problem, there was the indication of standard signals for defects in the bearings, making diagnosis of possible failures. With this diagnosis can be performed predictive maintenance, identifying the failure of the system that were tested, such as the introduction of grains of sand in the bearing, wear on the outer race of the bearing and bearing rust. By processing signals it is possible to construct graphs developing a mapping of defects by different peaks in the frequency band.

Análise de falhas em martelos oscilantes dos desfibradores da indústria sucroalcooleira da Região Norte-Nordeste

The failure of materials is always an unwelcome event for several reasons: human lives are put in danger, economic losses, and interference in the availability of products and services. Although the causes of failures and behaviour of materials can be known, the prevention of such a condition is difficult to be guaranteed. Among the failures, wear abrasion by the low voltage is the kind of failure that occurs in more equipment and parts industry. The Plants Sucroalcooleiras suffer significant losses because of such attrition, this fact that motivated their choice for the development of this work. For both, were considered failures in the swing hammers desfibradores stopped soon after the exchange provided in accordance with tonnage of cane processed, then were analyzed by the level of wear testing of rubber wheel defined by the standard ASTM G65-91.The failures were classified as to the origin of the cause and mechanism, moreover, were prepared with samples of welding procedures according to ASME code, sec. IX as well, using the technique of thermal spraying to analyze the performance of these materials produced in laboratories, and compares them with the solder used in the plant. It was observed that the bodies-of-proof prepared by the procedure described as welding, and the thermal spraying the results of losing weight have been minimized significantly compared to the preparations in the plant. This is because the use of techniques more appropriate and more controlled conditions of the parameters of welding. As for the thermal spraying, this technique has presented a satisfactory result, but requires the use of these coatings in the best condition for real affirmation of the results

Arranjo de plantas em fileiras duplas e normais em função de doses de fósforo e potássio.

Técnicas de arranjo espacial de plantas, associadas a adubações de fósforo e potássio podem proporcionar expressiva melhora na cultura de soja, aumentando o aproveitamento da radiação solar e, consequentemente, a produtividade de grãos. Objetivou-se avaliar dois arranjos de plantas associados a doses de fósforo e potássio, visando adequar o sistema de semeadura às condições de Mato Grosso. O experimento foi realizado na safra 2013/14, no município de Sinop-MT, no campo experimental da Embrapa Agrossilvipastoril. A condução foi sob Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo Distrófico, numa área sob preparo convencional. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2x3x3, ou seja, dois arranjos, três doses de fósforo, três doses de potássio, com 3 repetições. Utilizou-se a cultivar de soja BRS8381 nos arranjos de Fileiras duplas com distancia entre linhas de 22,5 por 75 cm, e, no arranjo Normal, a 45 cm. As doses de fósforo aplicadas foram de 0, 50 e 100 kg ha-1 de P2O5 e as de potássio foram de 0, 80 e 160 kg ha-1 de K2O. Avaliou-se a massa de 100 grãos, o número de vagens por planta, a população de plantas, a altura de plantas e a produtividade de grãos. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste F e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey, a 5% de probabilidade. Para a massa de 100 grãos, houve diferenças significativas entre as doses de P, sendo que a maior dose de fósforo propiciou maior massa de 100 grãos (12,96 g) em relação a testemunha (12,36 g), sem aplicação do nutriente. A dose intermediária (12,50 g), porém, não se diferenciou das demais. Observou-se também interação entre as doses de P e arranjos de plantas, somente para o arranjo em Fileiras duplas, sendo que as maiores massas de 100 grãos foram observadas para o tratamento com a maior dose de fósforo (13,32 g), porém, não se diferenciando da dose intermediária (12,66 g). Quanto ao número de vagens por planta, não se observou diferenças para nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados, apresentando em média, 64,7 vagens por planta. Para a população de plantas, observaram-se diferenças somente entre os arranjos de plantas, sendo que o arranjo normal (160.000 pl ha-1 ) apresentou maior população em relação ao arranjo em fileiras duplas (110.000 pl ha-1). Já para a altura de plantas, não se observou diferenças entre os tratamentos, com média de 66 cm. Em relação à produtividade de grãos, observaram-se diferenças somente entre os arranjos de plantas, sendo que a menor produtividade de grãos foi observada no arranjo em Fileiras duplas (1.300 kg ha-1) em relação ao arranjo normal (2.200 kg ha-1). Isso pode ser atribuído ao menor aproveitamento de luz, água e nutrientes no arranjo Fileiras duplas, haja visto que nas linhas espaçadas em 0,75 m não houve fechamento do dossel, pois a cultivar utilizada apresentou porte baixo. Conclui-se que o arranjo Normal, nas condições em que se desenvolveu o experimento, foram melhores que o arranjo em Fileiras duplas.

Estudo e implementação de algoritmos inteligentes para detecção e classificação de falhas na medição de gás natural

This master dissertation presents the study and implementation of inteligent algorithms to monitor the measurement of sensors involved in natural gas custody transfer processes. To create these algoritmhs Artificial Neural Networks are investigated because they have some particular properties, such as: learning, adaptation, prediction. A neural predictor is developed to reproduce the sensor output dynamic behavior, in such a way that its output is compared to the real sensor output. A recurrent neural network is used for this purpose, because of its ability to deal with dynamic information. The real sensor output and the estimated predictor output work as the basis for the creation of possible sensor fault detection and diagnosis strategies. Two competitive neural network architectures are investigated and their capabilities are used to classify different kinds of faults. The prediction algorithm and the fault detection classification strategies, as well as the obtained results, are presented

Vínculo Mãe - Filho: projeto de intervenção para detetar falhas na atitude à maternidade durante a gestação em gestantes do Bairro Viana Centro, Viana, ES.

Os resultados das gestações não planejadas são freqüentemente trágicos: crianças abandonadas ou maltratadas, educação interrompida, perpetuação do ciclo de pobreza, complicações da saúde da mãe ou do filho, abortos em condições de risco, suicídios, aumento da morbidade e mortalidade infantil, entre outros. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo desenhar um projeto de intervenção a ser realizado na Unidade de Saúde do bairro Viana, onde a equipe completa trabalhara em conjunto com as gestantes da área, temas relacionados com a gestação, parto e puerperio, para assim iniciar precocemente a criar e fortalecer o vinculo mae-filho, promovendo uma maternidade e maternagem consciente, oferecendo diferentes ferramentas que facilitarão esta etapa tão importante e especial na vida de uma mulher. O projeto propõe encontros quinzenais com os grupos de gestantes misturadas com a finalidade de enriquecer os encontros e intercambio de experiências, e onde se aplicarão diferentes técnicas participativas tanto na apresentação de cada integrante do grupo (para que se sintam confiantes), como para o desenvolvimento e avaliação das atividades. O projeto está estruturado para ser realizado em 4 etapas com uma duração total de 16 meses e a metodologia a aplicar será a pesquisa-ação. Com este projeto se espera introduzir nos profissionais da área da atenção primaria da saúde, a importância do atendimento interdisciplinar no acompanhamento pré-natal, dando o apoio que este tipo de pacientes precisa.
