Cinco grupos foram estabelecidos, de acordo com os ciclos de polimerização: A) Onda-Cryl, ciclo curto em microondas; B) Onda-Cryl, ciclo longo em microondas; C) Onda-Cryl, ciclo do fabricante; T) Clássico, banho de água; Q) Jet, ciclo em câmara de pressão. Após o seu processamento, as bases de resina acrílica foram pesadas em ar e em água e a porcentagem de porosidade foi relacionada com a absorção de água no interior desse material. Os dados de % de porosidade foram submetidos ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis para a comparação entre os grupos (a= 5%). Dentro das limitações do presente estudo, concluiu-se que os ciclos de polimerização e a espessura do espécime de resina acrílica têm influência na porosidade, já que diferenças estatisticamente significantes foram encontradas entre os ciclos e espessuras avaliados. Não houve diferença de porosidade entre as bases de resina polimerizadas no ciclo T para qualquer uma das espessuras. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the porosity on (acrylic resin) maxilar complete denture bases, processed through diferent polimerization cycles, procedure done in three different kinds of thickness (2,0, 3,5 e 5,0 mm). Five groups were proposed, according to the polimerization cycles: A) Onda-Cryl, short microwave cycle; B) Onda-Cryl, long microwave cycle; C) Onda-Cryl, manufacturing microwave cycle; T) Clássico, water bath; Q) Jet, press chamber cycle. After the process, the denture bases were weighted in air and in water, and the percent of porosity was related to the water absorption within this material. The porosityþs % data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test to promote the comparison among the groups. In despite of the present paperþs limitations, we have concluded that the polimerization cycles and the specimenþs thickness of acrylic resin really influence the porosity. This result was reached because statistically significant differences were found in the cycles and thickness evaluated. It has been not observed porosity differences in the polimerized resin bases in T cycle in relation to any thickness.

Finite Element Modeling of the Effect of Reflow Porosity on the Mechanical Behavior of Pb-free Solder Joints

January 2011 (has links)
abstract: Pb-free solders are used as interconnects in various levels of micro-electronic packaging. Reliability of these interconnects is very critical for the performance of the package. One of the main factors affecting the reliability of solder joints is the presence of porosity which is introduced during processing of the joints. In this thesis, the effect of such porosity on the deformation behavior and eventual failure of the joints is studied using Finite Element (FE) modeling technique. A 3D model obtained by reconstruction of x-ray tomographic image data is used as input for FE analysis to simulate shear deformation and eventual failure of the joint using ductile damage model. The modeling was done in ABAQUS (v 6.10). The FE model predictions are validated with experimental results by comparing the deformation of the pores and the crack path as predicted by the model with the experimentally observed deformation and failure pattern. To understand the influence of size, shape, and distribution of pores on the mechanical behavior of the joint four different solder joints with varying degrees of porosity are modeled using the validated FE model. The validation technique mentioned above enables comparison of the simulated and actual deformation only. A more robust way of validating the FE model would be to compare the strain distribution in the joint as predicted by the model and as observed experimentally. In this study, to enable visualization of the experimental strain for the 3D microstructure obtained from tomography, a three dimensional digital image correlation (3D DIC) code has been implemented in MATLAB (MathWorks Inc). This developed 3D DIC code can be used as another tool to verify the numerical model predictions. The capability of the developed code in measuring local displacement and strain is demonstrated by considering a test case. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S. Mechanical Engineering 2011

Padrões da autigênese de clorita e sua influência sobre a qualidade de reservatório dos arenitos cretácicos da Bacia de Santos

Bahlis, Andrea Bressani January 2011 (has links)
Arenitos do Cretáceo Superior da Bacia de Santos correspondem aos principais reservatórios clásticos de hidrocarbonetos da bacia, localizada na margem leste brasileira. Alguns desses arenitos exibem porosidades anormalmente altas, considerando suas atuais profundidades maiores que 4000 m. A preservação da porosidade nesses arenitos, assim como em diversos outros reservatórios clásticos profundos vem sendo atribuída à inibição da cimentação por crescimentos de quartzo e da dissolução por pressão exercida por franjas e cutículas de clorita autigênica. Por esse motivo, o estudo da distribuição espacial e temporal das cloritas, assim como de seus hábitos, relações paragenéticas e condições genéticas, é de grande importância. Os arenitos cretácicos de Santos são arcósios e arcósios líticos, ricos em fragmentos de rochas vulcânicas (FRV). Clorita é o constituinte diagenético mais abundante, ocorrendo principalmente como franjas e cutículas cobrindo os grãos (pore-lining), rosetas preenchendo parcialmente os poros e agregados microcristalinos substituindo grãos. A precipitação de clorita foi favorecida pela presença de cutículas eogenéticas de argila esmectítica, que foram parcialmente preservadas ao longo de contatos intergranulares apertados. Além disso, a composição primária dos arenitos exerceu um controle fundamental na autigênese das cloritas. O enriquecimento de clorita nos arenitos arcósios líticos, ricos em FRV, sugere que esses grãos são uma significativa fonte de íons de Fe e Mg para a precipitação de clorita nesses arenitos. Além dos FRV, minerais pesados instáveis, biotita e intraclastos lamosos atuaram como fonte e/ou substrato para a autigênese da clorita. Adicionalmente à composição primária, a história térmica e de soterramento, assim como o padrão de fluxo de fluidos, certamente tiveram um papel importante na distribuição da diagênese da clorita e na evolução da qualidade dos reservatórios. Prováveis fontes externas de íons devem ter envolvido as reações de transformações de argilominerais esmectíticos em lutitos associados, e a espessa seção de evaporitos Aptianos. Os diferentes hábitos das cloritas exerceram impacto distinto na qualidade dos reservatórios. Cloritas pore-lining inibiram a cimentação por quartzo, isolando as superfícies dos grãos de quartzo e reduzindo a nucleação de crescimentos secundários, contribuindo assim para a preservação da porosidade. No entanto, franjas e cutículas finas e descontínuas não foram capazes de inibir efetivamente a cimentação por quartzo, enquanto que as muito espessas reduziram severamente a permeabilidade dos reservatórios. Rosetas de clorita, por sua vez, não inibiram a cimentação de quartzo e ainda reduziram a porosidade intergranular. Estudos específicos são necessários para um melhor entendimento dos diferentes processos diagenéticos nos arenitos da Bacia de Santos, assim como de sua distribuição temporal, estratigráfica e espacial, de modo a basear o desenvolvimento de modelos que possam efetivamente contribuir para a redução dos riscos durante a exploração por esses reservatórios. / Upper Cretaceous sandstones from the Santos Basin, eastern Brazilian Margin, correspond to the main clastic hydrocarbon reservoirs of the basin. Some of these sandstones show abnormally high porosities, considering their present depths larger than 4000 m. The preservation of porosity in these sandstones, as in other deep clastic reservoirs, has been ascribed to the inhibition of quartz overgrowth cementation and pressure dissolution by rims and coatings of authigenic chlorite. Therefore, the study of the space and time distribution of the chlorites, as well as of their habits, paragenetic relations and genetic conditions, is of great importance. Santos cretaceous sandstones are arkoses and lithic arkoses, rich in volcanic rock fragments (VRF). Chlorite is the most abundant diagenetic constituent, occurring mostly as rims and coatings covering the grains (pore-lining), as rosettes partially filling the pores, and as grain-replacive microcrystalline aggregates. Chlorite precipitation was favored by the presence of eogenetic coatings of smectitic clays, which were partially preserved along tight intergranular contacts. Besides these, the primary composition of the sandstones exerted a key control in chlorite authigenesis. Chlorite enrichment in the lithic arkoses, rich in VRF, suggests that these grains are significant source of Fe and Mg ions for chlorite precipitation in these sandstones. Besides VRF, unstable heavy minerals, biotite and mud intraclasts acted as source or substrate for chlorite authigenesis. In addition to the primary composition, thermal and burial histories, as also the fluid flow patterns, certainly played an important role in chlorite diagenesis and in the evolution of reservoir quality. Probable external ionic sources must have involved the transformation of smectitic clays in associated mudrocks, and the thick section of Aptian evaporites. The diverse chlorite habits exerted distinct impact on the quality of the reservoirs. Pore-lining chlorites inhibited quartz cementation isolating quartz grains surfaces, reducing the nucleation of overgrowths, thus contributing to porosity preservation. However, thin and discontinuous rims and coatings were not able to effectively inhibit quartz cementation, while those very thick severely decreased the permeability of the reservoirs. In turn, chlorite rosettes have not inhibited quartz cementation, but have reduced intergranular porosity nonetheless. Specific studies are required for a better understanding of the diverse diagenetic processes wthin Santos Basin sandstones, as also of their time, stratigraphic and space distribution, in order to support the development of models that may effectively contribute to the reduction of risks during the exploration for these reservoirs.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi validar um método de análise da porosidade por meio de sorção de água em resinas acrílicas para base protética por meio da determinação de uma solução adequada de armazenamento dos espécimes (aw ótima), em função de dois formatos de espécime (retangular, de acordo com a norma ISO 1567 e formato de uma base protética) e duas resinas acrílicas para base protética processadas de maneiras distintas: banho de água (Clássico) e microondas (Acron MC). As soluções de armazenamento utilizadas nesse estudo corresponderam a soluções de cloreto de cálcio anidro a 25%, 50%, 75%, e água destilada pura. Após a determinação dos grupos onde se estabeleceu a aw ótima, foram calculados o fator de porosidade (FP) e o coeficiente de difusão (D) nesses grupos bem como para os grupos armazenados em água destilada pura. Os resultados de FP foram comparados por meio de análise de variância (ANOVA) para um fator, seguida pelo teste HSD de Tukey. Para o D, empregou-se o teste de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido do teste de Dunn (Acron MC, P=0,003; Clássico, P=0,020). Para todos os procedimentos estatísticos, o nível de significância foi _= 0,05. A partir dos resultados foi possível concluir que para a resina polimerizada em microondas (Acron MC), a aw ótima é uma solução de cloreto de cálcio anidro a 50% para o formato base protética e de 75% para o formato ISO. Já para a resina polimerizada em banho de água quente (Clássico), concluiu-se que os espécimes para avaliação da porosidade devem ser armazenados em solução de cloreto de cálcio anidro a 75% para o formato base protética e 50 % no formato ISO. / The study of porosity in acrylic resin has been carried out by means of diverse methods, among them the method that associates the porosity with the water sorption by acrylic resin which is based on Archimedes’ Principle. The aim of the present study was to validate a method of porosity analysis by means of water sorption in denture base resins by the determination of an adequate solution of specimens storage (optimal aw), as a function of two specimen shapes (rectangular in accordance with ISO 1567 and denture base shape) and two denture base resins processed in different ways: water bath (Clássico) and microwave-polymerized (Acron MC). The storage solutions used in this study were anhydrous calcium chloride solutions at 25%, 50%, 75%, and distilled water. After the determination of optimal aw, porosity factor (FP) and diffusion coefficient (D) have been calculated in these groups and for the groups stored in distilled water. FP results have been compared by one-way ANOVA, followed for Tukey HSD test. For D, Kruskal-Wallis test was performed, followed by Dunn test (Acron MC, P=0,003; Clássico, P=0,020). For all the statistical procedures, the level of significance was _= .05. From the results, it was possible to conclude that for Classico resin, the storage solution indicated for porosity evaluation is anhydrous calcium chloride solution at 50% for denture base shape, and 75 % for ISO shape. For the water bath-polymerized resin (Classico), it was concluded that the specimens for porosity evaluation must be stored in anhydrous calcium chloride solution at 75% for denture base shape and 50 % for ISO shape. It was also concluded that, for the same resin, specimen shape did not influence on FP since the specimens are stored in optimal aw established in this study.
