There is relationship between toxicity of mustard oil and respiratory rate; we were seeking evidence that would be determinant of susceptibility to mustard oil. Additionally, evaluated the toxicity of mustard oil to immature stages of T. castaneum and was investigated of respiratory rate and body mass of insects, and relationship between respiratory rate and oil in the toxicity study. The mustard oil, with 90% of the volatile component ITCA was diluted in vegetable oil from soybeans, in the proportion of 0.5:9.5v/v, to get on oily solution 4.5% of ITCA. The concentrations were used to assess the adult and immature stages ranged from 2.25 to 5.62 μL L-1. Results of mortality were used to generate the concentration-response curves. LC50 and LC95 were estimated too and their used to calculate reasons of toxicity (RT). Patterns of instantaneous rate of growth instantaneous (ri), respiratory rate (CO2 production) and body mass were assessed to each adult. Last two parameters were used to immature stages evaluation. Nonresistance was showed in all populations of T. castaneum to mustard oil, and no cross-resistance between phosphine and mustard oil was showed too. We observed different reproductive patterns, respiratory and body mass among adult populations. However, no relationship was found between these variables and toxicity of mustard oil. The essential oil of mustard showed toxicity to all immature stages of T. castaneum evaluated. The toxicity data also indicated difference remarkable in susceptibility among stages of development in insect populations evaluated. In insect stages, eggs and young larvae were more susceptibility and more tolerant, respectively. The respiratory rate was influenced by stage of development of insects and their body mass. However, no relationship was observed between respiratory rate of insects and toxicity of mustard oil. All populations not showed any resistance to mustard oil and cross-resistance between mustard oil and phosphine that was toxic to all stages of development of insects. Wherefore, may be possible mustard oil will become an important alternative fumigant and is use in management programs of resistance to phosphine. / Neste trabalho foi estudada a toxicidade do óleo de mostarda para 18 populações de Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) coletadas no Brasil e a possível correlação com resistência à fosfina. Verificaram-se a relação da toxicidade do óleo de mostarda e a taxa respiratória buscando-se evidenciar se esta última seria determinante de susceptibilidade ao óleo de mostarda. Adicionalmente, avaliou-se o efeito tóxico do óleo de mostarda para as fases imaturas de T. castaneum e foi averiguada a massa corpórea e a taxa respiratória dos insetos, bem como a relação da taxa respiratória com a toxicidade ao óleo em estudo. O óleo de mostarda, com 90% do componente volátil ITCA, foi diluído em óleo vegetal de soja, na proporção de 0,5:9,5 v/v, para obter solução oleosa de 4,5% de ITCA. As concentrações utilizadas para avaliar as populações adultas e fases imaturas do inseto variaram entre 2,25 a 5,62 μL L-1. Os resultados de mortalidade obtidos foram utilizados para gerar as curvas de concentração-resposta, e as CL50 e CL95 foram estimadas e usadas para calcular as respectivas razões de toxicidade (RT). Os padrões de taxa instantânea de crescimento instantâneo (ri), taxa respiratória (produção de CO2) e massa corpórea foram avaliados para cada população adulta, além de estes dois últimos parâmetro terem sido avaliados para as fases imaturas. Nenhuma das populações estudadas apresentou resistência ao óleo de mostarda e não houve resistência cruzada entre o óleo de mostarda e a fosfina. Foram observados diferentes padrões reprodutivos, respiratórios e de massa corpórea entre as populações adultas. Porém, não houve relação destas variáveis e a toxicidade do óleo de mostarda. O óleo essencial de mostarda se apresentou tóxico para todas as fases imaturas de T. castaneum avaliadas. Os dados de toxicidade indicaram também uma notável diferença na susceptibilidade entre os estágios de desenvolvimento do inseto nas populações avaliadas, tendo os ovos sidos mais susceptíveis e as larvas jovens mais tolerantes. A taxa respiratória foi influenciada pelo estágio de desenvolvimento do inseto e por sua massa corpórea. No entanto, não foi observada relação entre as taxas respiratórias dos insetos e a toxicidade ao óleo de mostarda. Como nenhuma população apresentou resistência ao óleo de mostarda e resistência cruzada entre óleo de mostarda e à fosfina, e o mesmo foi tóxico para todas as fases de desenvolvimento do inseto, é possível que o óleo de mostarda se torne um importante fumigante alternativo e seja usado nos programas de manejo de resistência à fosfina.

The cohort Astigmatina is divided in two major groups: Psoroptidia, composed mainly by feather and fur mites, and Non-psoroptidia, a dominant component of the acarofauna in ephemeral habitats. In these environments Astigmatina usually are saprophages or feed on fungi or bacteria. Astigmatina protonymphs undergo a complete reorganization of the body structure leading to the production of heteromorphic deutonymphs, generally specialized for dispersion through phoresy using arthropods and vertebrates as phoronts. Although most Astigmatina occur in natural environments, some species live in anthropic environments, such as food deposits, where some of them became pests; some Astigmatina infest subterraneous plant organs. Despite their economic and ecological importance, studies on the diversity and taxonomy of Astigmatina in Brazil have been rare over the last decades. The general objective of this thesis was to collaborate to the knowledge of the diversity and to evaluate the potential practical uses of these mites in Brazil. For this, new genera and species were described, method for rearing dust mites was studied and the efficiency of Astigmatina as prey for edaphic predators was evaluated. A new species of Thyreophagus (Astigmatina: Acaridae) was described based on specimens collected in Brazil, the association of three other species of this genus with stored food was reviewed and a key to all species of this genus was prepared. The genus Neotropacarus (Astigmatina: Acaridae), commonly found on plant leaves, was reviewed with the redescription of two species and description of new species collected in Brazil and from the Philippines. Two new genera and seven new species of Acaridae associated with the bee family Apidae was described and a key to Acaridae genera in subfamily Horstiinae was prepared. Several species of Astigmatina were evaluated as prey for predatory mites Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) and Protogamasellopsis zaheri Abo-Shnaf, Castilho and Moraes (Mesostigmata: Rhodacaridae), which oviposited on all evaluated astigmatids, with Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) and Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Tropeau) (Acaridae) being the most suitable prey. Seven foods and two development period, 30 and 60 days, after the introduction of 400 females of two important dust mite species, Blomia tropicalis van Bronswijk, de Cock e Oshima and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart) were evaluate. With the most suitable foods, the population growth were higher than 20.2 and 15.3 for B. tropicalis and D. pteronyssinus, respectively. / A coorte Astigmatina é dividida em dois grandes grupos: Psoroptidia, composto majoritariamente por ácaros de pena e pelos, e Não-Psoroptidia, componente dominante da acarofauna de habitats efêmeros. Nestes ambientes, os Astigmatina geralmente são saprófagos ou se alimentam de fungos e bactérias. Protoninfas de Astigmatina passam por uma completa reorganização da estrutura corporal levando à produção de deutoninfas heteromórficas geralmente especializadas para dispersão por forese utilizando artrópodes e vertebrados como forontes. Apesar de a maioria dos Astigmatina ocorrer em ambientes naturais, algumas espécies passaram a ocupar ambientes antrópicos, como depósitos de alimentos, onde algumas se tornaram pragas; alguns Astigmatina infestam órgãos subterrâneos de plantas. A despeito de sua importância econômica e ecológica, estudos sobre a diversidade e taxonomia dos Astigmatina no Brasil têm sido raros nas últimas décadas. O objetivo geral desta tese foi colaborar para o conhecimento da diversidade e avaliar o potencial de uso prático de espécies Astigmatina no Brasil. Para isso, novos gêneros e espécies foram descritos, métodos para criação de ácaros de poeira foram estudados e a eficiência de Astigmatina como presas para ácaros predadores edáficos foi avaliada. Uma nova espécie de Thyreophagus (Astigmatina: Acaridae) foi descrita com base em espécimes coletados no Brasil, uma revisão sobre três outras espécies deste gênero associadas com alimentos armazenados foi realizada e uma chave para todas as espécies deste gênero foi elaborada. O gênero Neotropacarus (Astigmatina: Acaridae), comumente associado a folhas de plantas, foi revisado, com redescrição de duas espécies e descrição de novas espécies coletadas no Brasil e nas Filipinas. Dois novos gêneros e sete novas espécies de Acaridae associados à família de abelha Apidae foram descritos e uma chave para os gêneros da subfamília Horstiinae foi elaborada. Diversas espécies de Astigmatina foram avaliadas como presas para os ácaros predadores Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) e Protogamasellopsis zaheri Abo-Shnaf, Castilho e Moraes (Mesostigmata: Rhodacaridae), que ovipositaram em todas os Astigmatina avaliados, sendo Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) e Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Tropeau) (Acaridae) as presas mais promissoras. Sete alimentos e dois períodos de desenvolvimento, 30 e 60 dias, após inoculação de 400 fêmeas de duas espécies importantes na poeira residencial, Blomia tropicalis van Bronswijk, de Cock e Oshima e Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart) foram avaliados. Com os alimentos mais adequados, o crescimento populacional nas colônias foram maiores que 20.2 e 15.3 para B. tropicalis e D. pteronyssinus, respectivamente.

Em razão dos problemas causados pelos insetos nos armazéns, no Brasil tem-se usado principalmente substâncias químicas para controlar essas pragas, porém, com relativo sucesso na solução do problema. Em fase disso, alguns aspectos sobre a proteção de grãos armazenados foram estudados, entre eles: 1) o efeito do volume de pulverização no teor de umidade dos grãos, 2) a estabilidade de inseticidas durante o processamento de amostras, 3) a influência da formulação concentrado emulsionável nas propriedades físicas do líquido, características do spray e depósito de inseticidas, 4) os resíduos de inseticidas nos grãos e em alguns de seus produtos processados e 5) a eficácia de inseticidas no controle de Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. e Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabr.). Para o tratamento dos grãos foi utilizado o bico hidráulico de jato duplo, modelo, TJ-60 8002EVS. O sistema de aplicação foi calibrado de modo a se obter tratamento dos grãos na concentração teórica de 10 e/ou 0,5 mg.kg-1 de fenitrotion e esfenvalerato, respectivamente. Os experimentos de eficácia foram instalados aos 15 dias, 30 dias e, a partir desta em intervalos mensais até 12 meses após o tratamento dos grãos, ou até que não houvesse mais mortalidade nas parcelas. Nos experimentos de resíduo, amostras de grãos foram coletadas ao zero, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 e 360 dias após o tratamento e as amostras dos produtos processados foram obtidos na mesma data. A umidade dos grãos após a pulverização dos volumes de água estudados teve pequeno acréscimo quando comparado com o teor inicial. Os grãos processados junto com gelo seco proporcionaram a maior porcentagem de recuperação dos inseticidas. Houve grande influência da formulação concentrado emulsinável nas propriedades físicas do líquido, características do spray e depósito dos inseticidas nos grãos. Os resíduos de fenitrotion e esfenvalerato em grãos de trigo concentraram-se preferencialmente no farelo e em menores quantidades na farinha. A taxa de degradação do esfenvalerato foi independente do tipo de grão. O resíduo de fenitrotion no período de carência de 120 dias foi superior ao Limite Máximo de Resíduo (LMR) permitido pela legislação brasileira, e esta se mostra inadequada na regulamentação de ambos os inseticidas. O esfenvalerato foi ineficiente no controle das espécies estudadas; já o fenitrotion foi eficiente no controle de S. oryzae e S. zeamais. A linhagem SR de R. dominica foi mais resistente do que a linhagem CG aos inseticidas testados. As CL50s estimadas concordaram parcialmente com os resultados obtidos nos testes de eficácia. De forma geral, a mortalidade de S. oryzae decresceu mais rapidamente do que a mortalidade de S. zeamais. Houve maior mortalidade das duas espécies de Sitophilus em grãos de trigo do que em grãos de milho. Foi constatado efeito sinergista da mistura fenitrotion + esfenvalerato no controle das duas linhagens de R. dominica. Na ausência de inseticidas S. oryzae apresentou progênie mais numerosa no trigo em relação àquela no milho; já S. zeamais apresentou número similar de progênie nos dois tipos de grãos. Na testemunha, a linhagem CG de R. dominica apresentou progênies mais elevadas do que a linhagem SR, sendo que ocorreu o inverso quando da aplicação dos inseticidas. / Because of the problems caused by insects in storehouses, chemicals have been chiefly used in Brazil to control these pests. However, success in solving problems with pests has been limited. In view of this, some aspects about stored grain protection were studied, among which are the following: 1) spray volume effect on grain moisture content, 2) stability of insecticides during sample processing, 3) influence of the emulsifiable concentrate formulation on the physical properties of the liquid, spray characteristics, and deposition of insecticides, 4) insecticide residues in grain and some of their processed products, and 5) effectiveness of insecticides in the control of Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Sitophilus zeamaiszeamais Motsch., and Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabr.). Grain treatment was accomplished by using a twin jet, model TJ-60 8002EVS hydraulic nozzle. The application system was calibrated to provide grain treatment at theoretical concentrations of 10 and/or 0.5 mg kg-1 fenitrothion and esfenvalerate, respectively. The effectiveness experiments were installed at 15 days, 30 days and at monthly intervals thereafter for 12 months after treating the grains, or until mortality ceased in the plots. In the residue experiments, grain samples were collected at zero, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, and 360 days after treatment, and processed product samples were obtained on the same dates. After spraying the water volumes planned in the study, only a small increase in grain moisture was observed when compared with the initial content. Grains processed together with dry ice provided the greatest insecticide recovery percentages. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation had a great influence on the physical properties of the liquid, spray characteristics, and deposition of insecticides on the grain. The fenitrothion and esfenvalerate residues in wheat grain were concentrated preferentially in the meal and at smaller amounts in the flour. The rate of esfenvalerate degradation did not depend on grain type. During a withholding period of 120 days, the fenitrothion residue was higher than the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) allowed by Brazilian law, which has been demonstrated to be unsuitable for the regulation of both insecticides. Esfenvalerate was ineffective in controlling the species studied; fenitrothion, however, was effective for the control of S. oryzae and S. zeamais. The SR line of R. dominica was more resistant to the insecticides tested than the CG line. The estimated LC50 values agreed in part with the results obtained in the effectiveness tests. In general, S. oryzae mortality decreased more rapidly than S. zeamais mortality. There was greater mortality of both Sitophilus species on wheat grain than on corn grain. A synergistic effect was verified for the fenitrothion + esfenvalerate mixture in controlling both R. dominica lines. In the absence of insecticides, S. oryzae showed a more numerous offspring on wheat in relation to corn; S. zeamais. however, showed a similar number of offspring on both types of grain. In the control, the R. dominica CG line showed higher numbers of offspring than the SR line, and the contrary was verified when insecticides were applied.

The toxicity of essential oils from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Eugenia uniflora, Eugenia uvalha, Melaleuca leucadendra, Piper marginatum and Schinus terebinthifolius was compared, through fumigation tests, to that from phosphine, product usually applied in warehouses. Mites were enclosed in screened small cages, allowing ventilation but not mites escaping. The cages were transferred to fumigation glass chambers with 2L capacity. The oils were applied in filter paper straps and fixed at the interior of the chambers. The glass chambers were closed and held in incubator chambers. Mite mortality was assessed after 48 hours of exposure. The mortality data were submitted to normality test and homocedasticity, and the means compared by the Tukey’s test at 5%. The oils from C. zeylanicum, S. terebinthifolius and E. uvalha were the most toxic. The CL50 and CL90 estimates were established for these oils and the eugenol through Probit analysis. The estimates indicated the eugenol as the most toxic treatment towards T. putrescentiae, LC50and LC90 equal to 0.23 μL/L and 14,51 μL/L of air, respectively. For S. pontifica, the LC50 estimate showed the eugenol as the most toxic treatment towards it with an LC50 estimate of 0.57μL/L of air. However, S. terebinthifolius was the most toxic treatment regarding the LC90 estimate, which was 23.48 μL/L of air. / O uso de óleos essenciais de plantas é uma alternativa ao controle de ácaros, como Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) e Suidasia pontifica Oudemans, em ambientes fechados. A toxicidade dos óleos de folhas de Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Blume.), Eugenia uniflora (Berg.), Eugenia uvalha (Cambess.), Melaleuca leucadendra L., Piper marginatum (Jacq.) e Schinus terebinthifolius foi comparada a fosfina, produto normalmente utilizado em armazéns, através de testes de fumigação. Os ácaros foram colocados em gaiola telada, que permitia a passagem do ar, mas retinha os ácaros em seu interior. As gaiolas foram transferidas para câmaras de fumigação, com capacidade para 2L. Os óleos foram aplicados em tiras de papel de filtro e fixados na parte interna das câmaras. Estas foram fechadas e colocadas em incubadora. A mortalidade dos ácaros foi avaliada após 48 horas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de normalidade e homoscedasticidade, sendo as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5%. Os óleos de C. zeylanicum, S. terebinthifolius e E. uvalha foram os mais tóxicos. Para estes e o eugenol, foramestabelecidas as CL50 e CL90 através da análise de Probit. As estimativas das curvas de concentração resposta indicaram eugenol como mais tóxico a T. putrescentiae, com CL50 e CL90 de 0,23 μL/ L e 14,51 μL/ L de ar, respectivamente. Para S. pontifica, a estimativa da CL50também indicou eugenol como mais tóxico, com CL50 de 0,57 μL/ L de ar, no entanto a estimativa da CL90 indicou S. terebinthifolius como mais tóxico, com CL90 de 23,48 μL/ L de ar.

Les critères de localisation et d’endommagement sont généralement basés sur un cadre dissipatif et ce travail s’intéresse aux couplages thermomécaniques accompagnant les micromécanismes de déformation. Il repose en partie sur des données expérimentales obtenues précédemment dans le laboratoire par Bodelot pour un polycristal d’acier A316L. Ce travail tire profit d'une combinaison de techniques différentes, en particulier de mesures in situ de champs cinématiques et thermiques ainsi que de l’Orientation Imaging Microscopy, de la profilométrie et d’une micrographie de surface. Différents outils ont été développés afin (1) d'identifier automatiquement les systèmes de glissement activés, (2) d’estimer l’émissivité de la surface permettant ainsi une détermination des champs thermiques avec une précision de 30 mK, (3) de projeter les champs bruts expérimentaux sur la microstructure et (4) de permettre la modélisation du polycristal et de ses conditions aux limites thermomécaniques réelles dans un cadre de plasticité cristalline dans le code EF Abaqus. Il a notamment été montré que les variations de température fournissent une estimation précise et aisée de la limite d'élasticité macroscopique ainsi que la détermination de la contrainte de cisaillement critique à l'échelle granulaire. En outre, les mesures cinématiques ont permis l'identification des systèmes de glissement activés. Des bilans énergétiques expérimentaux et numériques ont été réalisés et une grande influence de l'hétérogénéité polycristalline sur les mécanismes de stockage d’énergie a été soulignée. Les méthodes proposées contribueront à améliorer les critères d’endommagement basés sur un cadre dissipatif / Strain localization and damage criteria of materials and structures are commonly based on a dissipative framework and this work investigates the thermomechanical couplings accompanying the deformation micromechanisms. It is partly based on experimental data obtained previously in the laboratory by Bodelot for a A316L austenitic stainless steel polycrystal. This work takes profit of a multi-technique approach combining, in particular, in-situ kinematic and thermal fields measurements as well as Orientation Imaging Microscopy, profilometry and surface micrography. Different tools have been developed (1) to automatically identify the activated slip systems directly from the surface micrography, (2) to approach the surface emissivity field allowing an accurate determination of the thermal fields with a 30 mK precision, (3) to project raw experimental fields on the microstructure and (4) to allow the modeling of the polycrystal aggregate and its real thermomechanical boundary conditions by using a crystal plasticity framework within the Abaqus FE code. It has notably been shown that the temperature variations provides an easy and accurate estimation of the macroscopic yield stress at the specimen scale as well as the determination of the Critical Resolved Shear Stress at the intragranular scale. In addition, the local kinematic measurements allow the in-situ identification of the activated slip systems. Experimental and numerical energy balances have been conducted and a great influence of the polycrystalline heterogeneity on the energy storage mechanism has been underlined. The proposed methods would help improving physical based dissipative criteria for damage analysis

Les substrats métalliques ont été élaborés par des traitements thermomécaniques (laminages et recuits)sur des alliages Fe48%Ni et Ni5%W dans le but d'obtenir une hypertexture Cube indispensable à l'épitaxie de l'YBaCuO et du silicium dans la fabrication des câbles supraconducteurs et des cellules photovoltaïques à couches minces. Le rôle des éléments d'alliages tels que le soufre et le niobium sur la recristallisation et la formation de l'hypertexture Cube a été étudié dans le Fe48%Ni. Il a été montré que l'ajout du soufre favorise le développement de la texture Cube alors que l'ajout du niobium empêche la formation de la texture Cube. Le soufre se combine avec le Mn pour former les précipités MnS qui contribuent à l'augmentation de la différence d'énergie stockée entre l'orientation Cube et les orientations de laminage à froid (ECube/autres) quand le soufre augmente. Ce gap d'énergie explique explique l'acuité de la texture Cube avec l'ajout du soufre. Contrairement au soufre, l'ajout du niobium empêche la formation de la texture Cube, ce résultat s'explique par le fait la différence d'énergie stockée entre l'orientation Cube et les orientations de laminage diminue avec l'ajout du niobium. Pour expliques tous ces résultats, les analyses de microstructures et textures ont été faites par la technique EBSD et l'énergie stockée a été estimée à partir de la diffraction des neutrons sur les états déformés. / Substrate tapes were prepared by cold rolling and annealing of a Fe48%Ni and Ni5%W alloys in order to obtain Sharp Cube {100}<001> oriented substrate for photovoltaic thin films and superconductor cables in particular.The effect of microalloying elements sulfur and niobium on recrystallization and sharp Cube formation was studied in Fe48%Ni. It was shown that the addition of sulfur promotes the formation of Cube grains while the addition of niobium prevents the Cube grains formation. Regarding sulfur, it combines with manganese to form the MnS precipitates wich increases the stored energy difference between Cube component and others cold rolled components ECube/other when sulfur is added. This stored energy difference explains the sharpness of the Cube texture when sulfur is added. On the contrary the niobium microalloying element addition prevents the formation of Cube grains. This could be explained by the fact that stored energy of cold-rolled components decreases with the addition of niobium and thus decreases Cube grains fraction when niobium is added. In order to explain these results, the development of Cube texture during recrystallization has been investigated in detail by EBSD, furthermore, the effect of stored energy has been studied by carrying out neutron diffraction measurements on the deformed states.

Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une analyse globale multi-échelles de la fatigue à faible nombre de cycles des matériaux à mémoire de forme (MMF). Dans un premier temps, une large campagne d’essais a été menée pour différents chargements thermomécaniques comprenant des tests de fatigue sous contrainte et déformation imposée et pour différentes fréquences de chargement. A partir des résultats des essais, un critère de fatigue, basé sur l’énergie de déformation, a été développé ; on montre que l’énergie de déformation est un paramètre pertinent pour prédire la fatigue des MMF en tenant compte du couplage thermomécanique et du type de chargement : contrainte ou déformation imposée. Ensuite, en prenant appui sur la répartition de l’énergie de l’hystérésis en dissipation et énergie stockée, on avance une interprétation physique du mécanisme de la fatigue des MMF. Dans la troisième partie, on propose une modélisation multi-échelles de l’initiation des fissures de fatigue dans les MMF à partir de la notion de plasticité de transformation (PlTr). Dans ce cadre, on montre que la fatigue de MMF est contrôlée par la (PlTr) et que la température maximale lors de la transformation de phase est le paramètre à retenir pour prédire la rupture par fatigue des MMF. Le modèle permet également de prédire le lieu d’initiation des premières fissures de fatigue. Enfin, un procédé – fondé sur l’«éducation» des MMF – permettant d’améliorer la résistance à la fatigue est proposé. / The thesis proposes a multi-scale comprehensive analysis of low cycle fatigue of shape memory alloys (SMAs). First, low cycle fatigue of SMAs is experimentally investigated; comprehensive tensile-tensile fatigue tests under both stress and strain controlled loadings at different frequencies are carried out and results are discussed. Second, a new strain energy-based fatigue criterion is developed; it is shown that the use of total strain energy is a relevant parameter to predict fatigue lifetime of SMAs for different thermomechanical conditions and under different types (strain-control or stress-control) loadings. A physical interpretation of the mechanism related to the low-cycle fatigue of SMAs is then provided based on the conversion of hysteresis work into dissipation and stored energy. Third, fatigue crack initiation during cyclic stress-induced phase transformation is modeled based on transformation induced plasticity (TRIP); it is shown that the maximum temperature during the cyclic loading is a relevant indicator of the fatigue of SMA. Furthermore, the effect of the macroscopic mechanical load on the the fatigue lifetime is addressed as well as the spatial location of crack initiation. Finally, a mechanical training process that allows enhancing resistance to low cycle fatigue of SMAs is proposed.

This project investigates the feasibility of migrating from an SQL database utilizing complex stored procedures to a NoSQL database, specifically focusing on the Saab application BAAS. The motivation behind the investigation is that the stored procedures are complex to maintain. The aim is to determine whether such a migration can simplify the database structure while maintaining acceptable performance levels. The study involves developing a proof of concept by translating a frequently used SQL stored procedure into application-sided logic implemented with MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database. Performance tests comparing execution times of SQL stored procedures and the NoSQL alternative showed that while SQL stored procedures are faster due to primarily pre-compilation and optimized indexing, the NoSQL solution achieves acceptable execution times and offers enhanced maintainability and flexibility. This report provides a detailed evaluation of the potential benefits and drawbacks of migrating to NoSQL, emphasizing the importance of optimizing indexing strategies to close the performance gap. The findings suggest that, despite the time investment required for migration, the reduction in complexity and improved maintainability may justify the transition for organizations facing similar challenges.
