Las resoluciones administrativas devienen en actos de imperio de la administración pública, que para su emisión conllevan criterios interpretativos que, sin llegar muchas veces a ser precedentes de observancia obligatoria, generan válidas expectativas en los administrados para adecuar su conducta y ejercer sus derechos conforme a ley. Sin embargo, el cambio o establecimiento repentino de nuevos criterios puede traer perjuicios a aquellos administrados que confiaron en la actuación coherente y predecible de la administración. En dicho contexto, este artículo aborda las variaciones de criterio interpretativo de los órganos administrativos especializados en materia de consumo a cargo de Indecopi, a través de la invocación del denominado “Principio de Protección de la Confianza Legítima”. Se analiza su historia, elementos, requisitos y presencia legal en el Perú, y la pertinencia de su invocación en un procedimiento administrativo sancionador establecido dentro de un marco de protección constitucional a los consumidores o usuarios. Asimismo, se revisará cómo la jurisprudencia de Indecopi ha resuelto controversias en diversos sectores de consumo amparándose en tal principio, y si aquella entidad cumple con su deber legal de generar predictibilidad a través de sus pronunciamientos. / Trabajo académico

Um novo processo de fabricação de dispositivos de emissão de campo (FE) em silício (Si) é apresentado nesta tese, baseado na potencialidade de utilização da técnica de microusinagem denominada HI-PS (Hydrogen Ion Porous Silicon), que trata da combinação entre processos de implantação de hidrogênio e silício poroso. Por meio do procedimento proposto, foram obtidos dispositivos com 2500 emissores (micropontas de Si) integrados e não integrados ao anodo e contidos em uma área de 2,8 x 2,8 mm² (3,2.10\'POT.4\' pontas/cm²). As micropontas de Si fabricadas apresentaram altura de 10 µm, com diâmetro do ápice em torno de 150 nm. A separação entre os emissores (50 µm), na configuração não integrada dos dispositivos, foi limitada pela resolução da máscara litográfica utilizada. Foram propostas etapas de otimização estrutural das micropontas após sua formação, e aplicadas tanto na configuração do sistema anodo-catodo integrado como não integrado. Como resultado destas etapas, constatou-se a redução do ápice das microestruturas para dimensões inferiores a 100 nm. Os dispositivos FE integrados foram obtidos com uma distância de separação entre o anodo e o catodo de aproximadamente 12 µm, distância definida pelas dimensões da máscara litográfica, porém não limitada pelo processo aplicado. Destacam-se, entre as vantagens da utilização da técnica HI-PS em relação às tecnologias usuais de manufatura dos dispositivos FE, a baixa complexidade do processo proposto e a utilização de apenas uma etapa litográfica para obtenção do sistema anodo-catodo integrado e auto alinhado. Para efetuar as caracterizações dos dispositivos, foram implementados uma câmara de vácuo específica, que permite alterar a distância entre as estruturas do anodo e do catodo não integradas, sem a necessidade de se retirar a amostra da câmara, e três sistemas para ensaios elétricos, sendo um destes sistemas desenvolvido especificamente para caracterização elétrica de dispositivos FE. As caracterizações elétricas foram efetuadas por meio de curvas I-V, I-t e V-d, sendo esta última utilizada para extrair o campo elétrico macroscópico E, que foi utilizado como parâmetro de comparação entre amostras submetidas a diferentes processos de otimização estrutural e de recobrimento superficial dos emissores por Al. Todas as amostras caracterizadas apresentaram variação de corrente exponencial com o potencial aplicado, de acordo com o esperado pela teoria proposta por Fowler-Nordheim (F-N). Dispositivos com otimização estrutural ou deposição de Al apresentaram melhores características de emissão (menor valor de E), de acordo com o aprimoramento do modelo de F-N sugerido na literatura para superfícies otimizadas. Constatou-se, pelos gráficos de F-N, o comportamento diferenciado dos emissores de Si tipo p em comparação com outros materiais, estabelecendo uma relação entre as variações da inclinação da curva traçada às distintas fontes de elétrons do Si. Frente aos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que a técnica Hi-PS é altamente promissora para fabricação de emissores microusinados em Si para aplicações em dispositivos FE. / This thesis presents a new silicon (Si) field emission devices (FE) fabrication process based on the potential of the HI-PS (Hydrogen Ion Porous Silicon) micromachining technique, which is a combination of hydrogen implantation and porous silicon. Devices with 2500 emitters (Si microtips), integrated and non-integrated to the anode, enclosed in an area of 2.8 x 2.8 mm² (3.2 x 10\'POT.4\' tips/cm²), were obtained from the proposed technique. The fabricated Si microtips show 10 µm in height, with apex diameter of about 150 nm. The separation distance between emitters (50 µm), considering the non-integrated devices design, was limited by the resolution of the lithographic mask applied. Microtips structural improvement process steps were proposed and applied in both anode-cathode design (integrated and non-integrated). As a result, a reduction in tip apex diameter to dimensions lower than 100 nm was verified. The integrated FE devices were obtained with an anode-cathode separation of about 12 µm, which distance was defined by lithographic mask dimensions, but not limited by the process applied. The outstanding advantages of the HI-PS technique in comparison with usual technologies for FE devices fabrication are the low complexity of the process proposed and the use of a single lithographic step to obtain a selfaligned and integrated anode-cathode system. A dedicated vacuum chamber, which allows the changing of the separation distance between non-integrated anodecathode structures without the need of removing the sample out the chamber, and three systems for electrical test, being one of them developed specifically for FE devices electrical characterization, were implemented. The electrical characterizations were performed by means of I-V, I-t and V-d curves, being the last one used to extract the macroscopic electrical field E, which was applied as comparison parameter between samples obtained from distinct structural improvement process and samples with emitters surface coated with Al. All samples characterized showed exponential-like behavior of current with the potential applied, as expected from theory proposed by Fowler-Nordheim (F-N). Devices with structural improvement or Al coating showed better emission characteristics (lower E value), according with the modified F-N model suggested in the literature for optimized surfaces. From the F-N plots, the distinct behavior of p type Si emitters was verified in comparison with different materials, establishing a relationship between the slope variations of the curve obtained and the electrons source of the Si. Based on the results obtained, the HI-PS technique is very promising to fabricate Si micromachined emitters for use in FE devices.

Quasi-isotropic (QI) structure for multi-layer fabric panel is believed to be a promising construction to manufacture soft body armour with higher efficiency of ballistic protection based on two hypotheses. The first one is that QI structure panel could involve more secondary yarns in transverse deformation, and the second one is that the more involvement of the secondary yarns could result in the corresponding increase of the energy absorption. However, recent study found that the advantage of QI panel made from Dyneema® woven fabrics was very limited over the aligned panel and potential reasons have not been identified for the lack of systematic studies. Accordingly, this research aims to provide explicit guidance on how to improve the QI structure panels for ballistic protection by studying the mechanisms of aligned and QI panels of multi-layer Dyneema® woven fabrics. The two hypotheses were tested to identify the mechanisms. The ballistic performance of the aligned and QI panels of 2-layer, 3-layer and 4-layer Dyneema® woven fabrics were experimentally investigated using a ballistic test apparatus and a panel clamping system to evaluate the energy absorption of specimens. In order to further study the response of the ballistic panel, a yarn-level Dyneema® woven fabric model was developed. The shear moduli of the yarn (G13 and G23) was found to be the most important elastic constants in simulating ballistic fabrics using orthogonal experiments in this study, and were identified to 0.27GPa and 0.80GPa. The model was agreeably validated by comparing the FE modelling results of multi-layer panels under ballistic impact with the experimental counterparts. Based on this validated model, the areas, shapes of the transverse deformation bases were specifically evaluated. The first hypothesis was verified that the areas of the deformation bases of the back layer fabrics in QI panels of 2-layer, 3-layer, and 4-layer fabric models were more than 10% larger than the areas of the corresponding parts in aligned panel models, especially at medium and late stages. Moreover, the increases of the areas were attributed to the more involvements of the secondary yarns in the deformation, and more circular shapes of the deformation bases of the fabrics in QI panels were identified by using a mathematic measurement method created in this study. The kinetic energy (KE) and total strain energy (IE) evolution of primary yarns and secondary yarns in two panels were further specified. It was found that altering the aligned panel to QI panel not only changed the energy absorption of secondary yarns, also significantly changed that of primary yarns. This indicated that the second hypothesis was not suitable for the cases of panels of the Dyneema® woven fabrics for the influence of the primary yarns after the panel structure changed were neglected. The reason of the alterations of the primary yarns was that the slip-off time or failure time of most primary yarns was changed. The morphology evolution of primary yarns in 2-layer aligned and QI panels were investigated and the results showed that the space between adjacent warp or weft primary yarns and the interactions between some primary yarns and the adjacent primary yarns in another layer significantly affected the slip-off time and failure time of most primary yarns. The influence of these two factors derived from the feature of woven fabrics, which was the crimp. In order to verify the new understanding of the QI ballistic panels from the numerical analysis, a non-crimp fabric, namely Dyneema® SB51, was used to investigate the ballistic performance of the aligned and QI panels. It was found that the energy taken by QI panels was approximately 25% higher than the energy taken by the corresponding aligned panels. This result verifies the analysis conclusion and paves the solid way for further investigation of QI structure panels made up of biaxial fabrics.

Two different aluminium alloys, AA6111 (Al-Mg-Si) and AA7055 (Al-Mg-Zn), were chosen as the aluminium alloys to be welded with DC04, and two welding methods (USW and FSSW) were selected to prepare the welds. Selected pre-welded joints were then annealed at T=400 - 570oC for different times. Kinetics growth data was collected from the microstructure results, and the growth behaviour of the IMC layer was found to fit the parabolic growth law. A grain growth model was built to predict the grain size as a function of annealing time. A double-IMC phase diffusion model was applied, together with grain growth model, to predict the thickness of each phase as a function of annealing time in the diffusion process during heat treatment. In both material combinations and with both welding processes a similar sequence of IMC phase formation was observed during the solid state welding. η-Fe2Al5 was found to be the first IMC phase to nucleate. The IMC islands then spread to form a continuous layer in both material combinations. With longer welding times a second IMC phase, θ-FeAl3, was seen to develop on the aluminium side of the joints. Higher fracture energy was received in the DC04-AA6111 joints than in the DC04-AA7055 joints. Two reasons were claimed according to the microstructure in the two joints. The thicker IMC layers were observed in the DC04-AA7055 joints either before or after heat treatment, due to the faster growth rate of the θ phase. In addition, pores were left in the aluminium side near the interface as a result of the low melting point of AA7055.The modelling results for both the diffusion model and grain growth model fitted very well with the data from the static heat treatment. Grain growth occurred in both phases in the heat treatment significantly, and was found to affect the calculated activation energy by the grain boundary diffusion. At lower temperatures in the phases with a smaller grain size, the grain boundary diffusion had a more significant influence on the growth rate of the IMC phases. The activation energies for the grain boundary diffusion and lattice diffusion were calculated as 240 kJ/mol and 120 kJ/mol for the η phase, and 220 kJ/mol and 110 kJ/mol for the θ phase, respectively. The model was invalid for the growth of the discontinuous IMC layers in USW process. The diffusion model only worked for 1-Dimensional growth of a continuous layer, which was the growth behaviour of the IMC layer during heat treatment. However, due to the highly transient conditions in USW process, the IMC phases were not continuous and uniform even after a welding time of 2 seconds. Therefore, the growth of the island shaped IMC particles in USW was difficult to be predicted, unless the nucleation stage was taken into consideration.

After the attening of these systems were subjected to hydrogenation and oxygenation. To investigate these properties we use rst principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory, implemented in SIESTA computer code. Our results show that the system Fe- lled at nanotube is stable, and this stability is caused by the interaction between the metal atoms and carbon atoms. We observed that the attening caused a misalignment of wire atoms and dimerization of the nanowire does not cause considerable changes in the distances between an atom and its neighbors. It was observed that when the systems (n, n) were underwent hydrogenation and oxygenation occurred the spontaneous formation of two nanoribbons with zigzag edges. When systems formed by (n, 0) CNT are subjected to hydrogenation and oxygenation, there is no spontaneous production of nanoribbons. Furthermore, it was found that systems formed by a metallic wire between nanoribbons are energetically more stable that systems formed by Fe- lled at (n,0) carbon nanotubes. / Neste trabalho estudamos as propriedades estruturais, eletrônicas e magnéticas de fios lineares de ferro e encapsulados por nanotubos de carbono (8,0), (9,0), (6,6) e (7,7) normais e achatados. Após ́o achatamento estes sistemas foram submetidos à hidrogenação e oxigenação. Para investigar essas propriedades utilizamos cá́lculos de primeiros princípios baseados na teoria do funcional da densidade, implementados no código computacional SIESTA. Nossos resultados mostram que o tubo achatado com o nanofio encapsulado é estável e esta estabilidade deve-se às interações entre os átomos metá́licos e os á́tomos de carbono. Percebeu-se que devido ao achatamento os átomos do fio ficam desalinhados e a dimerização do nanofio nã̃o provoca alterações considerá́veis nas distâncias entre um átomo e seus vizinhos. Observou-se que quando os sistemas (n,n) foram submetidos à hidrogenação e oxigenação houve a formação espontânea de duas nanofitas com bordas zigzag. Os sistemas formados CNTs (n,0) não produziram espontaneamente nanofitas quando submetidos à hidrogenação e à oxigenação. Além disso, verificou-se que energeticamente nanofitas intercaladas com fio metá́lico sã̃o mais está́veis que nanofios encapsulados por nanotubos (n,0) achatados.

Para a realização do presente estudo, as ligas foram obtidas por fundição unidirecional horizontal, a partir da base do alumínio de pureza comercial com adição dos teores 0,05%p Cu e [0,24 a 0,28]%p Fe. Tal base foi modificada em uma primeira etapa com teores de 0,45, 0,60 e 0,80%p Mg. As ligas obtidas com estes teores tiveram suas propriedades estudadas para que se selecionasse um teor de Mg para posterior adição de Ni à liga. O estudo destas propriedades na primeira etapa passou pela análise das propriedades térmicas: velocidade de solidificação (VL) e taxa de resfriamento (Ṫ). A caracterização elétrica estudou a propriedade condutividade elétrica (φ) e o levantamento das propriedades mecânicas: limite de resistência à tração (σ) e microdureza Vickers (HV). A liga com adição de Ni passou por tratamentos térmicos de envelhecimento, por 1, 4 e 8h. Estas amostras foram analisadas em um microscópio eletrônico de varredura - MEV pelos sinais de elétrons retroespalhados – ERE e espectroscopia de energia dispersiva – EDS. Como resultados do estudo, encontrou-se que adições de Mg influenciaram significativamente a viscosidade das ligas, elevando as velocidades de solidificação nos instantes finais. Os ensaios de microdureza das amostras envelhecidas mostraram que houve um acréscimo significativo de dureza na quarta hora de envelhecimento, da mesma forma que as análises de EDS mostraram que a concentração de Ni também elevou-se nesta condição de tratamento. / This work studied the influence of Mg and Ni solute content on the modification of the thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of an Al-Cu-Fe alloy for application as an electrical conductor. To realize the present study, the alloys were obtained by unidirectional horizontal casting, starting from the commercial pure aluminum with the addition of 0.05wt% Cu and [0.24 to 0.28]wt% Fe content. This basis was modified on a first stage with 0.45, 0.60 and 0.80wt% of Mg content. The alloys obtained with these contents had its properties studied for the selection of a Mg content for further Ni addition at the alloy. The study of these properties on the first stage passed through the analysis of the thermal properties: growth rate (VL) and cooling rate (Ṫ). The electrical characterization studied the electrical conductivity property (φ) and the following mechanical properties were determined: ultimate tensile strength (σ) and Vickers microhardness (HV). The alloy which has Ni additions passed through ageing heat treatments of 1, 4 and 8 hours. These samples were analyzed in a scanning electron microscope – SEM by the electrons backscattered – EBS and energy dispersive spectroscopy – EDS signals. As a result of the research, it was found that Mg additions had significantly influenced the alloys viscosity, increasing its growth rates at the final moments of the solidification. The microhardness tests for the aged samples showed that they suffered a significant gain of hardness at the fourth hour of ageing, also, the EDS analysis showed that Ni content increased at the same treating conditions.
