O modelo SLIM (\"Self-Consistently Interception Model\") para estimativa da incidência de descargas atmosféricas em estruturas - avaliação e aplicação na análise do desempenho de linhas de transmissão de energia / The Self-consistently Interception Model (SLIM) for estimating the lightning incidence to structures evaluation of the model and application to the analysis of lightning performance of power transmission lines

Acácio Silva Neto 19 April 2012 (has links)
O desempenho de uma linha de transmissão de energia está diretamente ligado ao número médio anual de descargas que nela incidem, o qual depende da densidade média de descargas ao solo na região e também do grau de exposição da linha. Modelos com diferentes graus de complexidade são encontrados na literatura para a estimativa da área de atração de estruturas a descargas atmosféricas. Entretanto, além das grandes simplificações sobre a física das descargas nas quais a maioria desses modelos se baseia, até recentemente não era possível considerar a configuração tridimensional das estruturas. Essa é uma limitação importante, pois detalhes do objeto afetam o campo elétrico e, consequentemente, o processo de formação do líder ascendente. Nesse contexto, o modelo desenvolvido em 2006 por Becerra e Cooray - SLIM (\"self-consistently interception model\") utiliza os conceitos mais recentes da física das descargas para a análise dos processos de formação e propagação do líder. Ao contrário dos demais modelos, o SLIM possibilita que se leve em conta a geometria tridimensional da estrutura. O modelo foi validado com base em comparações entre valores de campo elétrico para estabilização do líder em função da altura calculados e medidos em experimentos utilizando a técnica de descargas provocadas por foguetes, tendo-se obtido excelente concordância entre os resultados. Este trabalho destaca os aspectos mais importantes do SLIM e apresenta uma análise comparativa do mesmo com outros modelos bastante conhecidos, como o Modelo Eletrogeométrico, o Modelo de Eriksson e o Modelo de Rizk, além do procedimento simplificado recomendado pelo Guia IEEE Std. 1243. A análise é feita em termos da distância e do raio de atração, do número de descargas incidentes em uma linha de transmissão e do desempenho da mesma frente a descargas atmosféricas, discriminando as taxas de falhas causadas por falha de blindagem e por \"backflashover\". / In general, about 20 % to 60 % of the electric power service interruptions of distribution lines are attributed to lightning. For transmission lines, a typical figure is 70 %. The appraisal of the lightning performance of a power line is related to its mean flash collection rate, which depends on the mean ground flash density of the region and on the line exposure to direct lightning strokes. Models of different degrees of complexity are found in the literature for the estimation of lightning striking distances of objects and structures. However, besides the oversimplifications of the physical nature of the lightning discharge on which most of the models are based, till recently the tridimensional structure configuration could not be considered. This is an important limitation, as edges and other details of the object affect the electric field and, consequently, the upward leader initiation. Within this context, the self-consistently interception model (SLIM) proposed in 2006 by Becerra and Cooray is state-of-the-art leader inception and propagation leader model based on the physics of leader discharges which, unlike the other existing models, enables the tridimensional geometry of the structure to be taken into account. For the validation of the model, data obtained in rocket-triggered lightning experiments were used and an excellent agreement was found between measured and calculated leader stabilization electric fields as a function of the height of the rocket. This work describes the most important aspects of the new model and presents a comparative analysis of SLIM and other well-known model such as the Electrogeometric Model (EGM), Erikssons Model, and Rizks Model, as well as the simplified procedure recommended by IEEE Std. 1243. The analysis is done in terms of the striking distance, attractive radius, and the flash collection rate of a transmission line, as well as on its lightning performance, discriminating between the failure rates caused by shielding failure and backflashover.

Aquisição de uma habilidade motora básica: a prática sistemática em foco / Acquision of a basic motor skill: focus on the systematic practice

Jorge Alberto de Oliveira 28 July 2006 (has links)
O propósito desse estudo foi investigar a influência da prática sistemática no desempenho e na estrutura do movimento em crianças de diferentes estados de desenvolvimento na habilidade motora básica rebater. Seqüências de desenvolvimento geralmente são utilizadas para definir mudanças de um estágio para outro, entretanto, essas mudanças não se relacionam exclusivamente a fatores internos. Restrições do organismo, do ambiente e da tarefa são responsáveis por mudanças. Nesse contexto, surge uma indagação: será que com a prática sistemática o indivíduo mudaria de um estágio para outro? Para responder a essa questão, um estudo foi realizado compreendendo um delineamento de duas fases nas quais as crianças deveriam praticar o rebater ao alvo uma bola de tênis de mesa lançada por um robô: a primeira fase foi denominada de aquisição e a bola foi lançada formando uma trajetória parabólica, sendo que as crianças deveriam atingir a meta critério de três acertos consecutivos na pontuação 50 do alvo, em até no máximo 120 tentativas; na segunda fase, denominada transferência, a bola foi lançada numa trajetória semi-retilínea e foram executadas 30 tentativas. Participaram dessa investigação 70 crianças com média de 11,6 anos de idade. Vinte e nove crianças atingiram a meta critério, as quais foram classificadas em grupos (inicial e avançado). As tentativas analisadas foram divididas em quatro blocos com três execuções cada. Dezenove variáveis foram estudadas envolvendo análise cinemática e medidas qualitativas a partir do checklist proposto por LANGENDORFER (1987a). Os resultados mostraram que a prática influencia a aquisição da habilidade, e foi revelada diferença estatisticamente significante (p< 0,05) na análise coletiva dos componentes, na ação da raquete, na aceleração e velocidade da raquete. Os resultados também mostraram que o controle dos graus de liberdade passa a ser feito nas articulações ou segmentos distais a medida que se congela e domina os graus de liberdade das grandes articulações ou segmentos corporais durante a ação motora. / The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of systematic practice on the performance and movement structure of children in different development stages in the basic motor skill of striking. Developmental sequences are often used to define changes from one stage to another, but these changes are not exclusively related to internal factors. Organismic, environmental and task constraints are responsible for them. In this context, a question arises: can a systematic practice change the developmental stage? Based on this question, a study was carried out having an experimental design of two phases, on which children practiced striking a table tennis ball thrown by a robot to a target. The first phase was denominated acquisition and the ball was thrown in a parabolic trajectory. Children were asked to reach a performance criterion of three consecutive hits on the target (50 points), allowed a maximum of 120 trials. In the second phase, called transfer, 30 trials were performed with the ball thrown in a straight trajectory. Seventy children (±11,6= years old) participated in this study and 29 of them reached the defined criterion, who were divided into two groups (initial and advanced). The trials were divided in four blocks with three trials each. Nineteen variables envolving kinematic and qualitative measures belonging to a checklist (LANGENDORFER, 1987a) were analysed. Results showed that practice affects skill acquisition and a statistic differences (p<0.05) on collective component analysis, racquet action, and racquet acceleration and velocity were observed. The results also showed that the control to degrees of freedom is transferred to distal joints or body segments as the degrees of freedom of major joints and body segments are frozen during the action.

The Geology of the Rustenburg Fault

Bumby, Adam John January 1997 (has links)
The N.N.W.-S.S.E. striking Rustenburg Fault zone, in the western Transvaal Basin, South Africa, has been mapped, in order to unravel its tectonic history. Thickness differences in the Daspoort Formation of the Pretoria Group on opposite sides of the Fault suggest that the Fault was active during Pretoria Group sedimentation, with normal faulting producing localised second-order basins on the down-thrown side of the Fault. In post-Pretoria Group times, but before the intrusion of the Bushveld Complex at -2050 Ma, the area surrounding the Fault zone underwent two compressive events. The first was directed N.E.S. W., producing S.E.-N.W. trending folds, and the second was directed N.W.-S.E., producing N.E.-S.W. trending folds. The second set of folds refolded the first set to form typical transitional Type 1-Type 2 interference folding, and this compression ultimately caused reactivation of the Rustenburg Fault, so that dextral strike-slip movement displaced the Pretoria Group sediments by up to 10.6 km. The subsequent intrusion of the Bushveld Complex into the adjacent strata intensely recrystallised, and often assimilated, the strata along the Fault zone. The fault rocks within the Fault zone were also recrystallised, destroying any pre-existing tectonic fabric. Locally, the Fault zone has been assimilated by the Bushveld Complex. After the intrusion of the Bushveld Complex, little movement has occurred along the Fault, especially where the Fault passes under areas occupied by the Bushveld Complex. It is thought that the crystallisation of the Bushveld Complex has rheologically strengthened the neighbouring strata, preventing them from being refaulted. This model presented above is at variance with previous assumptions that continuous regional extension during Pretoria Group sedimentation culminated in the intrusion of the Bushveld Complex. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 1997. / gm2015 / Mining Engineering / MSc / Unrestricted

L'évolution des débitages laminaires unipolaires durant le néolithique précéramique au Levant nord / Blades “débitage” from a single striking platform and their evolution as seen in the northern Levant during the aceramic Neolithic

Alhussain, Imad 16 December 2013 (has links)
Les industries laminaire du Néolithique précéramique sont caractérisées par deux systèmes de débitage laminaire : le système unipolaire et le système bipolaire. Cette étude s’intéresse aux débitages laminaires unipolaires et leur évolution. L’analyse du matériel provenant de quatre sites syriens a permis de redéfinir les débitages unipolaires et de les classer en deux systèmes distincts : le débitage strictement unipolaire et le débitage à gestion unipolaire. Cette distinction est basée sur les principes d’exploitation, les modalités et les techniques de taille des deux systèmes, ainsi que sur des expérimentations de taille originales. Il en ressort aussi que les débitages unipolaire sont des systèmes techniques qui relèvent à la fois de connaissance et de savoir-faire et non pas des systèmes expédients. Le matériel du site PPNA de Wadi Tumbaq 3 en Syrie centrale relève d’une évolution des débitages laminaires différente de celle connue pour les trois autres sites néolithiques du Moyen-Euphrate : Tell Aber 3, Cheikh Hassan et Mureybet. L’évolution des débitages laminaires établie à partir des industries lithiques datées et bien analysées, et généralisée pour l’ensemble du Levant, n’est ainsi caractéristique que de certaines régions du territoire. / Two main debitage systems are known in the northern Levant during the aceramic Neolithic: unidirectional and bidirectional debitage. This study focuses on unidirectional debitages and their evolution. Material analysis from four sites in Syria allowed redefining unidirectional debitage and distinguishing between two different systems: strictly unidirectional debitage and optional unidirectional debitage. These two systems are distinguished on the basis of reconstituted knapping techniques and strategies, as well as experimental knapping. The technical complexity characterizing unidirectional debitage indicates highly-skilled knappers and not expedient knapping. Ananlysis of the material from Wadi Tumbaq 3 (PPNA) in central Syria indicates for these knapping techniques a different model of evolution from that known at Tell Aber 3, Cheikh Hassan and Mureybet in the middle Euphrates valley. Therefore, it appears that the pattern of evolution reconstructed on the basis of well analyzed and dated lithic industries, untill now applied to the whole of Levant, is only a regional phenomenon.
