Análise da influência do torque de montagem na resistência de parafusos de fixação

Whereas the assembly torque calculation has great importance on efficiency and life of bolts, the objective of this study was to analyze the combined stresses during assembly, the friction coefficient, compare the rupture torque results with the indicated torques by standards and to present a new torque method without the stress combination (shear stress and normal stresses). For this study were carried eighteen tests with different diameters and materials, this bolts were undergoing five ranges torque until the breaking torque. With the experimental rupture torque values for each test and with the bolt quality certificate was possible to calculate the friction coefficient so compared with the theory. Another comparison was the experimental rupture torque with assembly torque indicated by NBR-8800 and ASME-PCC. The main conclusion are related to combined stress, because for this factor can fail at the assembly time, so for in some cases must use the tensioning method, because in this method won't be present torsional stresses

Caracterização e utilização do resíduo sólido gerado do acabamento de peças de zamac como matéria-prima para a obtenção de materiais cerâmicos

A crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente, associada com o aumento da população e conseqüentemente da geração de resíduos, induz pesquisas no sentido de viabilizar o aproveitamento de resíduos como matéria-prima para a produção de materiais. O resíduo sólido gerado no processo de acabamento de peças de zamac é, devido às suas características iniciais, uma fonte potencialmente interessante de matéria-prima para a obtenção de produtos cerâmicos. Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de obtenção de materiais cerâmicos utilizando o resíduo sólido gerado no acabamento de peças de zamac como matéria-prima. Para tanto, foi realizada a caracterização do resíduo através de análise química, mineralógica, morfológica, termogravimétrica, granulométrica, determinação do teor de umidade, perda ao fogo, área superficial, bem como a caracterização quanto aos riscos ao meio ambiente. Para comprovar o potencial de utilização do resíduo como matéria-prima para a produção de materiais cerâmicos foram confeccionados corpos-de-prova utilizando somente o resíduo. Estes corpos-de-prova foram caracterizados quanto as suas propriedades físicas e mecânicas Devido ao fato dos corpos-de-prova confeccionados somente com o resíduo apresentarem alta porosidade e conseqüentemente baixa resistência mecânica, foram confeccionados corpos-de-prova com diferentes formulações de vidro adicionado ao resíduo. O vidro utilizado foi caracterizado quanto a sua distribuição granulométrica e composição química. Estes corpos-de-prova foram caracterizados quanto as suas propriedades físicas, mecânicas, mineralógicas, microestruturais. Também foi avaliada a compatibilidade ambiental do processo de queima de corpos-de-prova, através da determinação das emissões gasosas geradas no processo. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o material cerâmico produzido pode ser utilizado como placas cerâmicas para revestimento.

Análise do acabamento superficial e força de corte no torneamento de alumina a verde

In experimental conditions, cutting forces were studied during turning of green alumina billets, including their correlation with surface aspects of the workpiece. The correlation between cutting power and the removal rate are important parameters for defining the design of ceramic products, since inadequate parameters can produce excessive surface damage to the workpiece. This study examined the forces obtained during turning of alumina workpieces with 99.8% purity in their green state, by means of a three-point dynamometer, evaluating the cutting, feed and depth forces, using a cermet tool under constant machining conditions. Variables were compared with the forces, including surface finish, tool wear and temperature during machining. In the study, it was found that the depth of cut had no significant effect on the surface quality, and the cutting speed and feed influencing the finish. However, preliminary tests for selecting the cutting conditions showed that unsuitables cutting speeds and feeds generate severe damage to the workpiece surface. The best condition was 1.00 mm depth of cut, and the forces increasedfor with each pass performed, with the feed force the variable with greatest increases in relation to the cutting and depth forces, and wear of the cutting tool directly influenced the surface finish, generated by the highly abrasive nature of the alumina particles of the green compact. It is emphasized that the alumina in its green state showed high abrasive effect on the cutting tool during the turning process and the surface finishing of the green workpiece had a direct influence on the sintered workpiece.

A influência das variáveis do lixamento tubular na qualidade das peças de Eucalyptus grandis

In 2010, the Brazilian forest sector is represented by about 30,000 companies producing US$ 21 billion annually and account for approximately 5% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the country. The sanding process is highly demanded in various stages of industrialization of the wood, when there is a need for a better quality surface finishing. The objective of this work was to analyze the influence of cutting speed and sandpaper granulometry on both the surface finishing of pieces of Eucalyptus grandis processed through tubular sanding and on the sanding efforts (force and power of sanding). Four cutting speeds were used (19.5, 22.7, 26 and 28.1 m/s), one advance speed (16 m/min) and three sets of sandpaper (80-100, 80-120 and 100-120) being one for chipping and another for finishing, respectively. A central data acquisition system was set up to capture the variables (cutting power, acoustic emission and vibration) in real time. The cutting force was obtained indirectly, through a frequency inverter. The roughness of the parts was measured by a roughness meter before and after sanding. The highest cutting speed used (28.1 m/s) consumed more power and generated more acoustic emission among the four speeds tested. Regarding the vibration, the lower cutting speed (19.5 m/ s) generated the highest vibration in the sander machine. It is concluded that the range of 100-120 sandpapers resulted in values of average roughness (Ra) lower than the other sets of sandpaper used, as it resulted in better surface finishing.

Estudio general de las politicas vigentes en cuarentena animal de Nicaragua, en los puestos fronterizos El Espino y Peñas Blancas en el periodo de Enero-Mayo 2009

En Nicaragua existen leyes, requisitos, y procedimientos que se aplican, para llevar a cabo la protección agropecuaria a nivel de los puestos fronterizos del país, por eso se propuso este trabajo monográfico que lleva por título "Estudio de las políticas vigentes en cuarentena animal de Nicaragua en los puestos fronterizo El Espino y Peñas Blancas en el periodo de Enero a Mayo del 2009", el cual se baso en los procedimientos de inspección en cuarentena animal, productos y subproductos según la Ley Básica de Salud Animal y Sanidad Vegetal (Ley 291). Este estudio se realizo en un periodo de cinco meses mediante la estadía en dichos puestos, los datos recopilados se obtuvieron de formatos oficiales de la Dirección General de protección agropecuaria (DGPSA) dentro de ellos tenemos los certificados zoosanitarios, permisos de importación, formatos de inspección, actas de retención, decomiso, destrucción y rechazo. Se confirmo que los puestos cumplen con los procedimientos de inspección cuarentenaria tomando en cuenta la ley 291 y manuales de inspección. Durante la etapa de investigación constatamos que existe una gran discrepancia entre el Puesto de El Espino y Peñas Blancas, tanto en el trabajo a realizar como en instalaciones, no obstante. ambos puestos carecen de instalaciones adecuadas para la inspección, cuentan con bajo presupuesto y poco personal, pero a pesar de las condíciones en que se encuentran los inspectores realizan un arduo esfuerzo por efectuar su trabajo. Se recomienda que todos los puestos cuarentenarios del país cumplan con las condiciones adecuadas, infraestructuras seguras y personal profesionalmente capacitado y debidamente actualizado con las enfermedades exóticas que puedan ingresar al país.
