Fused deposition modeling is a rapid prototyping process that is widely used to create prototypes. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is the most widely used material for fused deposition modeling. The parts are fabricated in a layer by layer fashion and the individual layers are composed of fibers that are deposited, thus making them similar to parts made of a composite material. This study tries to model the behavior of this composite-like material to aid designers in designing parts made of such a “rapid prototyped” material. The mechanical material constants that need to be determined in order to obtain the compliance/ stiffness matrix of the material have been identified and appropriate experiments have been conducted to determine them. Biaxial tensile tests have been conducted to obtain the Young’s moduli and Poisson’s ratios. Torsion tests have been conducted to obtain the Shear moduli. Three point bending tests and combined loading tests have been conducted. Most of the experimental results are in excellent agreement with the analytical/finite element simulation results. Some that are not give a greater insight into the material behavior and have been discussed.

It will be supported by researches related to story beyond various works about Brazilian literature. The work, central part of the research, shows, the growth s evolution and naturation s process of the protagonist: Carolina, from six to twenty years old, time in which she will face struggles with herself and conflicts arising from the relationship with others. This path will be accompanied from near by the reader, that is called to be part of the plot, by filling the voids left, and understand he trecks that mark the discursive style of the author. This dissertation is also an attempt of understand the process of manipulation of narracionais voices, the interweaving of discourses and transgression of the temporal order. This study also observes the transmutation into real to fictitious and character, at the same time to the transmutation of protagonist characters into narrator of her own story. / O presente trabalho propõe um estudo da obra Retratos de Carolina, de Lygia Bojunga, tendo como objetivo fazer um apanhado geral a respeito do papel da mulher na sociedade e o processo de sua evolução ao longo do tempo, o que terá como respaldo, além de pesquisas relacionadas à história, várias obras da literatura brasileira. A obra, corpus central desta pesquisa, apresenta o processo de crescimento, evolução e amadurecimento da protagonista: Carolina, dos seis aos vinte e nove anos, período em que ela enfrentará embates consigo mesma e os conflitos que advêm da sua relação com o Outro. Esse percurso será acompanhado de perto pelo leitor que é chamado a participar da urdidura da trama, através do preenchimento dos vazios deixados, propositadamente, pela autora e a compreender as artimanhas discursivas que marcam o estilo de Lygia Bojunga. Esta dissertação é, ainda, uma tentativa de compreensão do processo de manipulação das vozes narracionais, do entrecruzamento dos discursos e da transgressão da ordem temporal. O presente estudo observa também a transmutação da autora real em autora fictícia e em personagem, paralelamente à transmutação da personagemprotagonista em narradora de sua própria história.
