As ligas com efeito de memória de forma (LMF) inseridos em matriz poliméricas a base de resina epóxi e argila organofílica podem formar estruturas exageradamente denominadas “compósitos inteligentes”. Esse desenvolvimento tecnológico vem ocorrendo devido à necessidade de utilização de materiais com propriedades especiais, não encontradas em um único material, mas que podem ser obtidos pela combinação de diversos outros, originando propriedades singulares. O estudo do comportamento térmico de fios de Ni-Ti incorporados em nanocompósitos aquecidos por efeito Joule utilizando a técnica de termografia de infravermelho, assim como a modelagem e simulação, visando desenvolver e otimizar compósitos ativos para controle de vibração mecânica é de grande interesse e originalidade. Neste contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivos avaliar o efeito térmico teórico-experimental em fios de Ni-Ti embebidos em nanocompósitos poliméricos a base de resina epóxi e argilas organofílicas comercial, aquecidos por efeito Joule. O foco principal está na caracterização térmica dos compósitos híbridos através da simulação numérica com auxílio do software ANSYS CFX. Para tanto, nanocompósitos poliméricos foram obtidos para receber fios de Ni-Ti. O modelo matemático utilizado reproduziu o fenômeno de transferência de calor no interior da resina, obtendo resultados coerentes e aproximados aos resultados obtidos experimentalmente. A adição de argila na composição química da amostra apresentou influência proporcional ao aquecimento por efeito Joule. A localização dos fios na matriz, o teor de argila e o coeficiente de transferência de calor assim como a fração volumétrica de fios afetam a distribuição da temperatura no interior do compósito. / Use of the epoxy systems in the area and performance of modern industry technology, combined with the nanocomposite materials has been extensively studied in recent years. The Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire embedded in polymer matrix with epoxy resin and organoclay may form an exaggeratedly named structure “smart composites”. This technological development occurred due necessary use of materials with special properties not found in a single material, but can be obtained by combining others material, craving unique properties. The study the thermal behavior of wires of the wire Ni-Ti incorporated in to nanocomposites heated by Joule effect using infrared thermography technique, modeling and simulation, in order to develop and optimize composites for mechanical active vibration control is of great interest and originality. In this context the present study evaluate the theoretical and experimental thermal effect in Ni-Ti wires embedded in polymer nanocomposites epoxy/organoclay commercial organoclays, heated by Joule effect. For both, polymer nanocomposites were obtained for receiving the Ni-Ti wire, the temperature distribution of wires embedded in polymer nanocomposites, using infrared thermography technique and simulation using ANSYS CFX commercial software were evaluated. The mathematical model used reproduced the phenomenon of heat transfer in the resin, aproximate efficiency consistent results and the results obtained experimentally. The addition of clay in the chemical composition of the sample had proportional influence to heating by Joule effect. The locations of the wires in the matrix, the clay and the heat transfer coefficient as well as the volume fraction affect the temperature distribution with in the composite.

The aim of this research project was to investigate the microstructural changes of MCrAlY coated Ni-based superalloys that are routinely used in industrial gas turbine engines for power generation. One of the main aims of the characterisation was to understand ageing time and temperature effects on the microstructural evolution so that a methodology could be developed where the characterisation of a thermally exposed microstructure can be used to estimate unknown service exposure conditions.

O metal duro é um material compósito utilizado em diversas áreas de usinagem, mineração e construção civil, podendo ser aplicado diretamente em componentes de equipamentos de perfuração de petróleo e gás. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal a aplicação da técnica de moagem de alta energia visando produzir o compósito WC-Ni e estudar os efeitos do tempo de moagem nas propriedades do material. A moagem do metal duro WC-20Ni, partindo dos pós de WC e Ni, foi realizada para tempos de moagem de 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 e 64 horas. Os pós de partida foram caracterizados por granulometria à laser, MEV e EDS. Nas amostras sinterizadas foi realizada análise microestrutural por microscopia ótica, medição de microdureza e medida de densidade pelo método de Arquimedes. Os melhores resultados para o compósito WC-20%Ni, foram conseguidos para o tempo de 8 horas de moagem, onde a densificação e dureza alcançaram após a sinterização 97,09% e 1058 ± 54 HV respectivamente. Tempos de moagem maiores que 8 horas foram prejudiciais nas propriedades do material. / The hard metal is a composite material used in several areas of machining, mining and construction, it can be applied directly in components of the drilling equipment for oil and gas. This work had as main objective the application of high energy milling technique to produce the composite WC-Ni and studying the effects of time milling in the material properties. The milling of hard metal WC-20Ni, from the WC and Ni powders, was performed for milling times of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 hours. The starting powders were characterized by laser granulometry, SEM and EDS. Microstrutural analysis of the sintered samples was performed by optical microscopy, microhardness and density by Archimedes. The best results for the composite WC-20%Ni, was achieved for 8 hours milling, where the density and hardness reached after sintering 97.09% and 1058 ± 54 HV respectively. Longer times of milling, after 8 hours milling, provided a detrimental effect on the properties of the material.

In many technological applications of structured metallic alloys, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a major concern as it can penetrate in most metals, degrade their properties and lead to premature failures. Despite numerous efforts in the past decades during which many microscopic mechanisms were proposed, a clear understanding of H embrittlement mechanisms has not been achieved yet. Since HE processes occur on an atomic-scale, the exact mechanisms leading to HE are not easily identified experimentally. One possible improvement would be to use atomic-scale simulations to try to capture details of deformation and fracture processes at the atomic level, enabling the investigation of relevant microscopic mechanism. In such context, the goal of this PhD work is to understand and quantify H interactions with defects like vacancies, dislocations and cracks in fcc metals through multi-scale modeling. The study is organized in four main parts. In the first part, we employed first principle calculations (based on density functional theory) to describe H interaction with a vacancy in Nickel. More specifically, the segregation energies of multiple H atoms in a single and di-vacancies were computed. Two characteristic energies were found which clarify the experimental peaks observed in Thermal Desorption Spectra in the literature. The equilibrium concentrations of H-vacancy clusters was then evaluated, under conditions relevant to HE and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Ni based alloys (nuclear industry),by Monte Carlo simulations and a thermodynamic model developed from our DFT data. In the second part, we quantified the trapping effect of vacancies on H diffusion in Nickel. With DFT computed jump barriers, related to H trapping and detrapping in vacancies, we employed accelerated Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations to evaluate the H diffusion coefficient as a function of vacancy concentration and temperature. In the third part, we studied the diffusion of H-vacancy clusters in Ni, based on the combination of DFT and a statistical method. DFT calculations of vacancy jump barriers were performed for clusters containing from one to six H inside the vacancy. With these computed barriers and previous calculated concentrations of H-vacancy clusters, a simple stochastic model similar to the KMC procedure was developed to estimate the diffusion coefficient of H-vacancy clusters as a function of H concentration and temperature. In the last part, we studied the interaction of hydrogen with a blunted crack tip in Aluminum by combined EAM (semi-empirical interatomic potential) and DFT calculations. Embedded atom method (EAM) potential simulations were performed to evaluate the H effect on dislocation emission from a blunted crack tip under mixed mode loading. This phenomenon can be understood by the H induced change of the unstable stacking fault energy (γus ) in Rice’s model. Therefore, DFT and EAM calculations of γus were performed including the effects of H and of the mixed mode loads. It is shown that the effect of the load perpendicular to the glide plane is very strong, contrary to the effect of sub-surface H, which is negligible

Fiqh, literally 'deep understanding', is the science of religious law in Islam. What does it mean for an Islamic jurist to 'do fiqh'? And how does an engagement with fiqh guide a jurist to produce statements of law for particular social contexts? These are perennial questions in the field of Islamic legal studies. The current thesis offers an answer to these questions from the viewpoint of jurists from the early classical Ḥanafī tradition of Central Asia. The thesis starts with an examination of Central-Asian Ḥanafī works of legal theory to extract the underlying epistemological foundations of this legal tradition. The remainder of the thesis presents a series of investigations into a leading work of legal commentary - the Hidāyah of Burhān al-Dīn 'Alī ibn Abī Bakr al-Marghīnānī (d. 593/1197) - to assess how these epistemological foundations inform the work. These investigations range from a study of the processes by which the legal cases commented on in the work were seen to be authoritative, to a study of the use of rational arguments, dialectical sequences and juristic disagreement in exploring and expositing cases of the law. The thesis also studies points of theory employed in the commentary that reveal how social context was seen to impact on the production of law. The study concludes by suggesting a general theory of Ḥanafī jurisprudence, explaining what it means to 'do fiqh' - presented as a particular form of engagement with the legal cases transmitted from the teaching circle of Abū Ḥanīfah (d. 150/767), the school's eponym - and how this fiqh engagement with Ḥanafī precedent informed the production of legal statements tailored to specific contexts - by the application of a particular filter of legal mechanisms, each of which reflects an understanding of the overarching principle of 'necessity' (ḍarūrah). The study presents a uniquely Ḥanafī legal epistemology which is underpinned by particular notions of authority, rationality and tradition.

Les besoins actuels en électronique de puissance concernent principalement la fiabilité et l'augmentation de la densité de puissance. Dans les deux cas, ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler l'intégration de puissance constitue une solution. Les problèmes de fiabilité peuvent être résolus par la diminution du nombre d'interconnexions et par la maitrise complète de la réalisation des convertisseurs et, ceux liés à la densité de puissance, par la réduction des dimensions et par la mutualisation d'un certain nombre de fonctions: intégration des passifs, substrats fonctionnalisés, composants de couplage... Ceci passe nécessairement par une stratégie de choix de structures de conversion permettant de répondre à ces questions. Les convertisseurs multi-niveaux, multicellulaires entrelacés sont un exemple de structure permettant de réduire la taille et le volume des composants magnétiques. Le point clé de ces structures réside dans le partage des flux magnétiques entre les différentes phases du convertisseur via un transformateur intercellulaire (ICT). Ce type de composant permet l'entrelacement de nombreuses cellules de commutation. Il consiste en un noyau magnétique de forme spécifique et souvent complexe. Les travaux réalisés dans le cadre de cette thèse concernent le développement de technologies permettant la réalisation de composants magnétiques de type ICT en vue de leur intégration. Les principales propriétés du matériau (magnétiques et diélectriques) nécessaires à la réalisation de ce type de composant nous ont conduits à choisir une ferrite de type Ni0,30Zn0,57Cu0,15Fe2O4 susceptible de s'adapter tant aux fréquences de fonctionnement qu'à la gamme de puissance envisagée. Différents procédés de mise en œuvre (et les paramètres qui leur sont associés) ont été étudiés. Il s'agit soit du formage, via l'utilisation de moules souples ou encore du pressage isostatique, et de l'usinage soit à cru soit après frittage. Concernant l'usinage, deux systèmes distincts nous ont permis la mise en forme des noyaux complexes soit en 2 D soit en 3D. Les résultats de cette démarche tant en termes d'objet que de propriétés du composant, sont présentés. L'influence des différents paramètres utilisés lors de la réalisation (température de frittage, pression,...) sur les caractéristiques finales est aussi étudiée. / Current issues in power electronics are mainly related to the reliability and the increase in the power density. In both cases, what is called power integration is proposed as the solution. Reliability issues can be solved by reducing the number of interconnections and by the full design and elaboration of converters; and those related to the power density are addressed by reducing the dimensions and the mutualization of a number of functions: integration of passive components, embedded substrates, coupling components... This necessarily involves the choice of a strategy for converting structures. Multilevel converters, interleaved multicellular converters are an example of structures that reduce the size and volume of magnetic components. The key point of these structures is the sharing of magnetic flux between the different phases of the converter via an intercellular transformer (ICT). This type of component allows interleaving many switching cells. It consists of a magnetic core of specific, often complex and shape. The work done in this thesis concerns the development of technologies for the realization of ICT magnetic components for their integration. The main material properties (magnetic and dielectric) necessary for the implementation of this type of component oriented us towards a ferrite Ni0,30Zn0,57Cu0,15Fe2O4 able to work at the proposed operating frequencies and power range. Various elaboration processes (and the parameters associated with them) were studied. It is either forming, through the use of flexible molds or by isostatic pressing, and machining either raw or after sintering. By machining, two separate systems have enabled us obtaining complex magnetic cores either in 2D or in 3D. The results of this approach in terms of object and component properties are presented. The influence of various parameters used during the production (sintering temperature, pressure,...) on the final characteristics is also investigated.

Uma forma de se minimizar a corrosão em materiais metálicos é revesti-los com outros materiais. A eletrodeposição é um método muito utilizado na obtenção de revestimentos metálicos resistentes à corrosão e ao desgaste mecânico. Através da eletrodeposição é possível obter ligas metálicas, as quais são geralmente preparadas com o intuito de melhorar as propriedades dos seus constituintes iniciais. O estudo proposto tem como objetivo otimizar as variáveis de entrada (densidade de corrente e pH) e obter a liga CuZn-Ni resistente à corrosão, caracterizando-a quanto à morfologia, eficiência de corrente catódica, composição da liga, microdureza e resistência à corrosão. Para a otimização do processo de eletrodeposição da liga foi realizado um planejamento fatorial completo 32. Avaliou-se quantitativamente a influência das variáveis de entrada bem como suas possíveis interações com a realização mínima de experimentos. Estudou-se o processo de eletrodeposição de liga Cu-Zn-Ni sobre um cátodo, utilizando um banho contendo sulfato de cobre, sulfato de zinco, sulfato de níquel e citrato de sódio. Todos os experimentos foram realizados em temperatura ambiente e em triplicata, os valores ótimos encontrados através da polarização potenciodinâmica linear foram: densidade de corrente catódica de 30 mA/cm2 e pH 6,0; com esses parâmetros foi possível alcançar um potencial de corrosão de -0,31949 V, uma resistência à polarização de 948090 Ω e uma corrente de corrosão de 6,4265 nA. Os ensaios de impedância eletroquímica confirmaram os resultados obtidos pelos ensaios de polarização potenciodinâmica linear. A composição média deste depósito foi 56 w.t.% de Cu, 38 w.t.% de Zn e 6 w.t. % de Ni. As ligas encontradas apresentaram brilho, aderência e boa resistência à polarização e através da difração de raios-x concluiu-se que a liga obtida é cristalina. O estudo da morfologia acusou a presença de nódulos esféricos de vários tamanhos na superfície da liga. A composição química dos revestimentos parece ser o fator mais importante para a microdureza dos revestimentos, já que o experimento com maior conteúdo de zinco apresentou o valor mais elevado de microdureza, que foi de 571 HV. Estas ligas podem ter grande utilidade em várias aplicações nas indústrias químicas, petrolíferas, petroquímicas, navais, de construções civis e automobilísticas em decorrência de algumas características especiais, como alta resistência à corrosão e ao desgaste e ao baixo sobrepotencial de evolução do hidrogênio da liga Cu-Zn-Ni. / The corrosion process is constantly transforming metallic materials, so that their durability and behavior no longer satisfy their goals. One way to minimize corrosion in metallic materials is to coat them with other materials. Electrodeposition is a widely used method in obtaining metallic coatings resistant to corrosion and mechanic wear. Through electrodeposition, it is possible to obtain alloys, which are generally prepared in order to improve the characteristics of their initial constituents. The proposed study has, as a goal, to optimize the input variables (current density and pH), and obtain the Cu-Zn-Ni alloy resistant to corrosion. A 32 experimental design was used to optimize the electrodeposition process. Both the input variable influence, and their possible interactions, performing less experiments as possible, were quantitatively evaluated. The electrodeposition process of the Cu-Zn-Ni on a cathode was studied, using a bath containing copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, nickel sulfate and sodium citrate. All experiments were conducted at room temperature and in triplicate. The best reached values, through linear potentiodynamic polarization, were: cathode current density of 30 mA/cm2 and pH 6.0; with those parameters, it was possible to reach a potential of -0.31949 V, a 948090 Ω polarization resistance, and a 6.4265 nA current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms the linear potentiodynamic polarization results. Its chemical composition, in average, was 56 w.t. % of Cu, 38 w.t.% of Zn, and 6 w.t.% of Ni. Those found alloys showed bright, adherence and good resistance to polarization, and, through X-ray diffraction, it is concluded that the alloy is crystalline. The morphology study pointed out the presence of spherical nodules with different sizes on the alloy surface. The chemical composition of the coatings seems to be the most important factor for the coatings microhardness, since the experiment with the highest zinc content showed the highest microhardness value, which was 571 HV. Those alloys may have great utility in many applications in chemical, oil, petrochemical, naval industries, civil construction and automobile industries, because of some special characteristics, such as high resistance to corrosion and wear, and low overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction of the Cu-Zn-Ni alloy.
