La connaissance du comportement de composites sous un état de contraintes multi-axial reste un enjeu majeur pour l’optimisation du dimensionnement des structures. La machine de fatigue bi-axiale présente au LGP permet de générer un état de contrainte bi-axial par l’utilisation d’éprouvettes cruciformes. La conception des éprouvettes reste un enjeu majeur pour les chercheurs pour répondre aux problèmes spécifiques liés aux matériaux composites. Un nouveau type d’éprouvette cruciforme en composite sera conçu en lien avec les problématiques liées au procédé d’infusion de résine liquide (LRI). Il sera ensuite fabriqué avec ce procédé et utilisé pour caractériser le comportement de composites en fatigue bi-axiale. Le suivi des essais sera réalisé en utilisant simultanément un système de corrélation d’images numériques et un système de thermographie infrarouge. La corrélation d’images est une technique optique de mesure de champs qui permet d’obtenir la cartographie des déplacements sur la totalité de la surface de l’éprouvette testée. La thermographie infrarouge permet d’avoir accès à la cartographie de température sur cette surface. Une corrélation entre les données provenant des deux systèmes sera effectuée pour tenter de remonter aux mécanismes d’endommagement des composites lors d’une sollicitation en fatigue bi-axiale. Une corrélation entre des données uni-axiales et bi-axiales sera effectuée. / Knowledge of the behavior of composite materials under multi-axial stress state remains a major objective for structure sizing and optimization. The bi-axial fatigue machine owned by the LGP allows generating a bi-axial stress state, using cruciform specimens. The design of such specimens is a real challenge for researchers to face the specific problems linked to composite materials. A new kind of cruciform specimen will be designed specifically for composite materials manufactured using the liquid resin infusion (LRI) process. It will be manufactured with this process and used to characterize the behavior of composite materials under bi-axial loading. The monitoring of the experiments will be achieved using simultaneously digital image correlation (DIC) to measure the displacements and infrared thermography to measure the temperature variations. DIC is a full field measuring technique which allows obtaining the full cartography of the displacements all over the surface of the specimen. Infrared thermography is also a full field measuring technique used to obtain the cartography of temperature on the whole surface of the specimen. A correlation between the data obtained with both systems will be attempted to identify the damage mechanisms of composites under bi-axial fatigue. A correlation between uni-axial and bi-axial data will also be attempted.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Energia, 2014. / Os tanques com impulsores mecânicos são empregados nas indústrias químicas, petroquímicas, alimentícia, farmacêutica e mineral, como reatores químicos, diluidores, decantadores, misturadores e trocadores de calor. A transmissão de calor em tanques com agitação é realizada através das jaquetas, serpentinas helicoidais, serpentinas em espiral e chicanas tubulares verticais, sendo que existe uma carência de dados na literatura sobre a utilização das chicanas tubulares, em projetos em escala industrial. O presente estudo teve por objetivo principal comparar a transferência de calor e o consumo energético em tanques com impulsores mecânicos, axial e radial, equipados com chicanas tubulares verticais. Como objetivos específicos, o presente estudo visou determinar correlações semi-empíricas para o coeficiente convectivo no escoamento externo, em relação aos impulsores mecânicos utilizados em função dos parâmetros de similaridade Reynolds e Prandtl, e avaliar o efeito do impulsor mecânico sobre a potência consumida e a transmissão de calor. A unidade experimental consistiu, basicamente, de um tanque de acrílico com um volume útil de 50 litros, um impulsor mecânico axial, um impulsor radial tipo turbina, um motor elétrico de 2,5 hp e uma chicana tubular com 4 bancos de tubos de cobre. Os fluidos frios utilizados foram água e solução de sacarose com concentrações de 20% e 50% em massa. O fluido quente utilizado foi água à temperatura constante de 60°C e vazão de 1,2 LPM. Os ensaios foram realizados alternando as rotações na faixa de 90 a 330 RPM e a temperatura de entrada do fluido frio no intervalo de 28°C a 45°C. A potência consumida por ambos os impulsores mecânicos foi determinada a partir da técnica da medição do torque gerado no motor elétrico. O modelo obtido para a previsão do coeficiente externo de convecção, com o impulsor axial apresentou, um desvio médio de 21% e o modelo para o impulsor radial, um desvio médio de 25%. A partir dos modelos obtidos, verificou-se que o impulsor radial incrementa a transmissão de calor em 43% quando comparado com o impulsor axial. A rotação ideal para a maior transmissão de calor, durante o aquecimento das soluções, com o menor consumo de energia foi de 300 rpm. A partir das curvas simultâneas do número de potência e do número de Nusselt, conclui-se que o impulsor axial é o mais indicado para o aquecimento tendo em vista o seu baixo consumo de potência em relação ao impulsor radial. / EThe tanks with mechanical impellers are employed in chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical and mineral industries, as chemical reactors, thinners, decanters, mixers and heat exchangers. The heat transmission in tanks with agitation is performed through the jackets, helical coils, coils in spiral and vertical tubular baffles, considering that there is a lack of data in the literature on the use of tubular baffles, in industrial scale projects. The present study aimed to compare the main heat transfer and energy consumption in tanks with mechanical axial and radial impellers equipped with tubular vertical baffles. As specific objectives, this study aimed to determine correlations for convective coefficient in the external flow in relation to mechanical impellers used in function of Reynolds and Prandtl similarity parameters, and evaluate the mechanical effect on power consumption and heat transmission. The experimental unit consisted primarily of an acrylic tank with a useful volume of 50 liters, an axial mechanical and turbine type radial impeller, a 2.5 hp electric motor and a tubular chicanery with 4 banks of copper tubes. The cold fluids applied were water, and sucrose solution with concentrations of 20% and 50% by mass. The hot fluid applied was water at constant temperature of 60° C and a 1.2 LPM flow. The tests were carried out in the range of rotations by 90 to 330 RPM and the cold fluid inlet temperature in the range from 28° C to 45° C. The power consumed by both mechanical impellers was determined through the thechnique of measurement of the torque generated at electric motor. The model obtained for external coefficient prediction of convection with the axial impeller presented an average deviation of 21% and the template for the radial impeller, a standard deviation of 25%. From the models obtained, it was found that the radial impeller increases the transmission of heat in 43% when compared with the axial impeller. The ideal rotation for greater heat transfer during heating of the solutions with the lowest energy consumption amounted to 300 rpm. From the number of concurrent power curves and Nusselt number, it is concluded that the axial impeller is the most indicated for heating in view of its low power consumption compared to radial impeller.

Apresenta-se uma avaliação do potencial de alguns solos não lateríticos, compactados, para uso como barreira impermeável, com bases em suas condutividades hidráulicas e contrações axiais. Dez tipos diferentes de solos foram analisados, sendo seis classificados como Não Laterítico Argiloso (NG\') e quatro como Não Laterítico Siltoso (NS\') de acordo com o sistema de classificação MCT. Nas análises foi verificada a influência de parâmetros de compactação e de algumas propriedades dos solos na condutividade hidráulica e na contração axial dos solos compactados. Verificou-se que, para a maioria dos solos houve a diminuição da condutividade hidráulica com o aumento da energia de compactação. Com relação à umidade de moldagem, os menores valores de condutividade hidráulica estiveram associados a umidades iguais ou acima da ótima. Alguns solos não tiveram a condutividade hidráulica influenciados pelo teor de umidade, talvez como reflexo de suas características de compactação, pois mostraram massa específica constante com a umidade, para uma dada energia de compactação. Constatou-se que a condutividade hidráulica diminui com o aumento do índice de plasticidade, da umidade volumétrica e com os resultados do ensaio de absorção de azul de metileno. Para a contração axial nota-se que ela foi pouco influenciado pelo aumento do teor de umidade e pela energia de compactação, estando os maiores valores associados às menores condutividades hidráulicas. Constatou-se que a contração aumenta com o aumento da porcentagem de argila, do índice de plasticidade, dos resultados do ensaio de azul de metileno e com a diminuição do limite de contração. / It is presented an evaluation of the potential of certain non-lateric soils, compacted, for lining system use, based on their hydraulic conductivity and axial shrinkages. Ten different types of soils were analyzed; six of them were classified as non-lateric clayey (NG\') and the other four as non-lateric silty (NS\'), according to the classification system MCT. It was verified the influence of parameters of compaction and some soil properties on the hydraulic conductivity and on the axial shrinkage of compacted soils. Results of the analysis indicate that, for the most of the soils there were decrease of hydraulic conductivity when increasing the energy of compaction. In relation to the molding water content, the lower values of hydraulic conductivity were associated to equal to or over optimum water content. Some soils did not have their hydraulic conductivity influenced by the water content, perhaps as a result of their compaction characteristics, since they showed constant specific mass with the humidity, for a given energy of compaction. It was verified that the hydraulic conductivity decreases as plasticity index and volumetric humidity increases, with the result of the adsorption of metilen blue. The axial shrinkage was very little influenced by the increase of the water content and by the energy of compaction, the greater values associated to lower hydraulic conductivity. It was verified that the contraction increases with the increases of clay content, plasticity index, results of metilen blue test and the decrease of the contraction limit.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar e comparar a atividade eletromiográfica de sete músculos da cintura escapular e braço durante a realização dos exercícios wall-press, bench-press e push-up sobre uma superfície estável e com carga axial controlada em dois níveis de esforço isométrico, um máximo (100%) e outro submáximo (80%). Os exercícios foram realizados com o braço em 90° de flexão no plano sagital, 0° de extensão do cotovelo e 90° de flexão da mão. Vinte voluntários do sexo masculino, saudáveis, destros e sem história de trauma no membro superior participaram da pesquisa. Os registros eletromiográficos e de força foram adquiridos, respectivamente, por sete canais para eletromiograma e por um canal auxiliar de um sistema de aquisição simultânea, ganho total de 50 vezes, 12 bits de faixa de resolução dinâmica e freqüência de amostragem por canal de 4 KHZ. Os sinais mioelétricos foram captados por eletrodos ativos simples diferencial, ganho de 20 vezes, impedância de entrada de 10G? e CMRR mínimo de 130 dB, colocados nos músculos serrátil anterior, porção anterior e posterior do músculo deltóide, porção clavicular do peitoral maior, fibras superiores do trapézio, cabeça longa do bíceps e tríceps braquial. Os exercícios foram realizados aleatoriamente, nos dois níveis de esforço isométrico, com intervalados entre si por 5 minutos. Os voluntários realizaram três repetições de cada exercício, com duração de 6 segundos cada, intervaladas entre si por 1,5 minutos e manutenção da força dentro dos valores previamente definidos, orientadas por um feedback sonoro. Os sinais brutos foram filtrados por um passa faixa de 20-500Hz, derivando os valores de amplitude eletromiográfica pelo cálculo da Root Mean Square (RMS). Os valores de RMS foram normalizados pelo valor máximo obtido de três contrações isométricas voluntárias máximas obtidas em prova de função muscular. A comparação dos valores normalizados entre os três exercícios nos dois níveis de esforço isométrico e entre o mesmo exercício nos dois níveis de esforço isométrico foi realizada através do Modelo Linear de Efeitos Mistos, com nível de significância de 5%. Os valores normalizados de RMS dos músculos estudados, em valores percentuais, foram usados para graduar o nível de atividade elétrica obtido em cada exercício. Os resultados demonstraram que houve uma diferença nos valores de RMS normalizados dos músculos avaliados nas comparações feitas entre os três exercícios, não confirmando a hipótese inicial deste trabalho, pois os dois níveis de esforços isométricos não foram capazes de influenciar a resposta eletromiográfica. Diferenças entre amplitudes de ativação normalizadas foram constatadas, variando entre os níveis mínimo e alto. O bench-press gerou maiores níveis de atividade eletromiográfica para a maioria dos músculos, possivelmente pelo maior esforço isométrico realizado. O wall-press gerou maior atividade eletromiográfica para a maioria dos músculos quando comparado ao push-up, apesar do esforço isométrico gerado ser menor. Este trabalho concluiu que, apesar de exercícios com carga axial, mesmo com esforço isométrico controlado, causaram diferentes níveis de atividade eletromiográfica nos músculos avaliados. / The purpose of this research was to investigate if biomechanically similar exercises produce similar myoelectric activation when the same level of maximal isometric effort is produced. Twenty volunteers participated in the study. All volunteers were right-handed, healthy men with no history of previous upper limb trauma. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings were obtained using a seven-channel simultaneous acquisition system, with gain of 50, 12 bit A/D converter board with a 4 KHz frequency. To monitor produced force, a load cell was attached through an auxiliary channel and force recording was accomplished simultaneously with the acquisition of EMG signal. Myoelectric signals were obtained using simple differential electrodes, with gain of 20, input impedance of 10 G? and minimum CMRR of 130 dB, placed on the serratus anterior, posterior and anterior deltoid, clavicular portion of the pectoralis major, upper trapezius, and biceps and triceps brachii muscles, following the European Recommendations for Surface Electromyography by SENIAM project, and instructions by Hintermeinster et al. (1998). EMG signals were recorded while performing push-up, bench-press, and wall-press exercises at different force levels (100% and 80% maximum isometric effort) with the dominant upper limb supported on a stable surface. Exercises were randomly performed with five-minute intervals between each exercise. Volunteers performed three repetitions of each exercise, each lasting six seconds, with 1.5-minute intervals, and maintaining the force within previously determined values, guided by audio feedback. Raw EMG signals were filtered by a 20-500 Hz pass-band in order to derivate EMG amplitude values by intervals calculating the Root Mean Square (RMS). RMS values were normalized by the maximum value obtained in three maximal voluntary isometric contractions during muscle testing. Normalized values were compared between the three exercises at both torque levels and between the same exercise at both isometric effort levels through the mixed-effects linear model, with a 5% level of significance. Normalized RMS values of the studied muscles (%) were used to rank the level of electric activity obtained during each exercise. Results indicate that maximal isometric effort levels had no influence on results from the comparison of EMG activity in any of the proposed exercises. Differences between normalized activation amplitudes were observed. However, the values reached levels between minimal and high, that is, under 60% of the activity generated during maximal voluntary isometric contraction. This study concludes that biomechanically comparable exercises did not necessarily produce similar EMG activity, in spite of controlling isometric effort. Moreover, exercises were capable of generating different EMG activity levels in the evaluated muscles. Therefore, such exercises are indicated for different rehabilitation program phases.

[pt] O escoamento entre cilindros concêntricos com rotação do cilindro interno com a imposiçãao de um gradiente axial de pressão foi estudado experimentalmente. A razão de raios era (n)= 0, 64 e razão de aspecto era (r) = 265. O fator de atrito e campos de velocidade foram estudados para quatro rotações diferentes do cilindro interno e para os três regimes de escoamento, laminar, transição laminar- turbulento, e turbulento. Os Campos de velocidades foram obtidos através da técnica de Velocimetria por Imagem de Partículas (PIV). Os resultados para os fatores de atrito revelaram que a influência da rotação é mais pronunciada para regimes laminares e de transição. Para estes dois regimes o aumento observado foi de 100% de f/f0. Para o regime de escoamento turbulento, o aumento foi decrescendo gradativamente até o valor de 10% de f/f0 para Reaxial = 8458. Os campos de velocidade instantâneos relevaram padrões complexos do escoamento. Os perfis de velocidade axial médios tomavam uma forma achatada com o aumento da rotação do cilindro interno e do número de Reynolds axial. Para o regime de escoamento turbulento a influência da rotação do cilindro nos perfis de velocidade era pequena. / [en] The flow between concentric cylinders with an inner rotating cylinder with an imposed pressure-driven axial flow was studied experimentally. The radius ratio was (n) = 0, 64 and the aspect ration was (r) = 265. Friction factor and velocity fields were studied for four rotations of the inner cylinder and for laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow. Velocity fields were measure by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The results for friction factor showed that the influence of the rotation is more apparent for laminar and transitional flow, increasing with the rotation of the inner cylinder. For these two flows, the increasing was 100% of f/f0. For turbulent flow, the increasing was gradualy decreasing to 10% of f/f0 for Reaxial = 8458. Instantaneous velocity fields showed complex flow patterns. The time average axial velocity profiles showed a top hat like form with the increasing of inner cylinder rotation and axial Reynolds numbers. For turbulent flow, the influence of rotation in the velocity profiles was small.

Detta examensarbete omfattar produktutvecklingen av ett multiaxiellt styrt maskinstativ, som senare vid en slutlig produkt skall vara ämnad för användning inom additiv tillverkning. Arbetet som utförts har lett fram till konceptframtagning, materialval och tillverkning av en skalkonstruktion för ett 3-axiellt styrt maskinstativ. Tester och simuleringar har gjorts för att se om maskinkonstruktionen går att använda efter de kravspecifikationer som ställts av värdföretaget. Konstruktionen höll sig väl inom sin tolerans på 100 mikrometer vid rumstemperatur men visade vissa felmarginaler vid arbetstemperaturen på 600 grader Celsius. Resultaten som erhållits har analyserats för att kunna ge vidare förslag på förbättringar av konstruktionen då det ännu kvarstår implikationer vid säkerställandet av toleranserna vid arbetstemperaturen. / This thesis covers the product development of a multi-axial driven machine frame, which at a later stage will be intended to be used in additive manufacturing. The work that has been performed has led to concept development, material selection and manufacturing of a shell construction for a 3-axially driven machine construction. Tests and simulations have been done to verify if the machine design can be used by the specifications set by the host company. The construction was well within its tolerance of 100 microns at room temperature but showed some error margins at the operating temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. The results obtained have been analyzed in order to provide further suggestions for improvement of the structure when there still remain implications in ensuring the tolerances at operating temperature.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aims of this thesis are to identify all possible modes of operaton for a multi-stage axial flow compressor; then to characterise the performance, attempt to numerically model operation, and determine the main flow field features for each mode. Four quadrant axial flow compressor operation occurs when the direction of flow through the compressor or the sign of the pressure difference across the compressor reverses, or any combination of these. Depending on the direction of rotation of the compressor, six modes of operation are possible in the four quadrants of the performance map. The rotor rotates in the design direction for three modes, and in the opposite direction for the other three. The stationary-rotor pressure characteristic is S-shaped and passes through the second and fourth quadrants. A three-stage axial flow compressor operating in the incompressible flow regime was used for the experimental investigation. Flow through the compressor was reversed or augmented by means of an auxiliary axial flow fan. Compressor performance was measured by means of static pressure tappings, a turbine anemometer calibrated to measure forward and reversed volumetric flow and a load cell for torque measurement. The inter-blade row flow fields were measured with pneumatic probes and 50 μm cylindrical hot film probes. Three dimensional single blade-passage Navier-Stokes simulations were performed using the Numeca FineTurbo package. Steady state simulations used a mixing plane approach. A nonlinear harmonic approximation was used for time-unsteady simulations. Unstalled first quadrant operation was unremarkable, and good agreement was obtained between experimental and numerical data. A single stall cell was detected experimentally during stalled operation, which was not modelled numerically. In the fourth quadrant for positive rotation, (windmilling), the compressor acts as an inefficient turbine. Flow separates from the pressure surface of the blade, rendering the steady-state mixing plane approach unsuitable. The performance characteristic curves for second quadrant for positive rotation, are discontinuous with those of first quadrant operation. The temperature rise in the working fluid is significantly higher than at design point. Periodic flow structures occurring across two blade passages were detected at all flow coefficients investigated, invalidating numerical modelling assumptions. Better agreement was obtained between experimental and numerical data from a case found in literature. If the compressor operates as a compressor in reverse (third quadrant operation), significant separation occurs on the pressure surface of all blades, and flow conditions resemble severe first quadrant stall. Separation becomes less severe at larger flow rates, allowing numerical simulation, though this is sensitive to the initial flow field. In the the part of the second quadrant, where the compressor rotates in reverse, it operates as a turbine. The blade angles and the direction of curvature match the flow angles and turning well, leading to high turbine efficiencies. Numerical simulations yielded good agreement with measured results, but were again sensitive to the initial flow field. Fourth quadrant operation with negative rotation occurs when flow is forced through the compressor in the design direction. Large separation bubbles are attached to the pressure surfaces of rotor and stator blades, so virtually all throughflow occurs near the hub and casing / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelwitte van hierdie tesis is om al die moontlike werkmodusse vir ’n bestaande multi-stadium aksiaalvloei kompressor uit te ken; om dan die gedrag te gekarakteriseer, ’n poging aan te wend om die werking numeries te modelleer, en die belangrikste vloeiveldkenmerke vir elke modus te bepaal. Vier-kwadrant aksiaalvloei kompressor werking vind plaas as die rigting van die vloei deur die kompressor, of die teken van die drukverskil oor die kompressor omkeer, of enige kombinasie daarvan. Afhangende van die rigting van rotasie van die kompressor is ses operasionele modusse moontlik in die vier kwadrante van die kompressorkaart. Die rotor draai in die ontwerprigting vir drie van die modes, en in die teenoorgestelde rigting vir die ander drie. Die stilstaande-rotor drukkarakteristiek is S-vormig gaan deur die tweede en vierde kwadrante. ’n Drie-stadium onsamedrukbare vloei aksiaalvloei kompressor is vir die eksperimentele ondersoek gebruik. Vloei deur die kompressor is omgekeer of aangehelp deur middel van ’n aksiaalvloei hulpwaaier. Kompressor werking is gemeet deur middel van statiese druk meetpunte in die omhulsel, ’n turbine anemometer wat gekalibreer is om vorentoe en omgekeerde volumetriese vloei te meet, en ’n lassel vir wringmoment meting. Interlemryvloeivelde is opgemeet met pneumatiese sensors en 50-μm silindriese warm film sensors. Drie-dimensionele Navier-Stokes simulasies is uitgevoer vir ’n enkele lem van elke lemry, met behulp van die Numeca FineTurbo sagtewarepakket. ’n Mengvlakbenadering is gebruik vir bestendige toestand simulasies, terwyl ’n nie-linere harmoniese benadering gebruik is vir die tyd-afhanklike simulasies. Ongestaakte eerste kwadrant werking was alledaags, en goeie ooreenkoms is gevind tussen die eksperimentele en numeriese data. ’n Enkele staak-sel is eksperimenteel ontdek tydens gestaakte werking. Gestaakte werking is nie numeries gemodelleer nie. In die vierde kwadrant vir positiewe rotasie, (”windmeulwerking”), werk die kompressor as ’n ondoeltreffende turbine. Vloei-wegbrekinging op die lem drukoppervlaktes maak die bestendige toestand mengvlakbenadering ongeskik. In die kenlyne vir tweede kwadrant positiewe rotasie, is daar ’n diskontinu¨ıteit in die prestasie karakteristiekkrommes vir die eerste en tweede kwadrant werking. Die temperatuurstyging in die werk- vloeistof is beduidend ho¨er as as by die ontwerppunt. Periodiese vloeistrukture wat oor twee lemme plaasvind is gevind by alle vloei ko¨effisi¨ente wat ondersoek is, en dit maak die numeriese modellering aannames ongeldig. Beter ooreenkoms tussen die eksperimentele en numeriese data iss verkry met ’n geval wat uit die literatuur gevind is. Indien die kompressor werk as ’n kompressor in omgekeerde (derde kwadrant weking), vind beduidende wegbreking op die drukoppervlak van al die lemme plaas, wat lyk soos ernstige gestaakte eerste kwadrant werking. Die vloeiskeiding raak minder ernstig by ’n groter vloeitempo, wat numeriese nabootsing toelaat, maar die nabootsings is sensitief vir die aanvanklike vloeiveld. In die tweede kwadrant, by omgekeerde rotasie, werk die kompressor as ’n turbine. Die lemhoeke en die rigting van lemkromming stem ooreen met die vloeihoeke en verwringing, wat lei tot ho¨er turbine doeltreffendheid. Numeriese nabootsings stem goed ooreen met gemete resultate, maar is weereens sensitief vir die keuse van die aanvanklike vloeiveld. Vierde kwadrant werking met negatiewe rotasie vind plaas wanneer die lug gedwing word om deur die kompressor in die ontwerprigting te vloei. Groot skeidingborrels sit vas aan die drukoppervlaktes van alle lemme, sodat meeste deurvloei naby die naaf en die omhulsel plaas vind.
