Assim opções para manejo de pragas precisam ser desenvolvidas, tais como novos compostos químicos. Devido a disponibilidade de formulação recentemente desenvolvida (concentrado emulsionável – EC) de indoxacarbe, os objetivos com este estudo foram avaliar a eficiência desta formulação no controle de Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) e Chrysodeixis includens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) em soja. Um experimento a campo foi conduzido usando duas formulações (EC e solução concentrada – SC) de indoxacarbe (30 e 60 g i.a. ha-1) e testemunha. Após a pulverização, folíolos foram coletados das regiões mediana e superior das plantas em diferentes períodos. Os folíolos foram infestados com lagartas de 3°. instar de H. armigera e C. includens. As duas formulações do indoxacarbe foram eficientes no controle de ambas as pragas, independente da região da planta. As maiores dosagens causaram mortalidade > 80% em H. armigera somente 1h após a aplicação e em C. includens até 3 dias. No experimento de laboratório, folíolos recém-coletados de soja cultivada em casa-de-vegetação e imersos em soluções com concentrações crescentes das duas formulações de indoxacarbe para construção das curvas dose-resposta. Após secagem, os folíolos foram infestados com lagartas de 3°. instar de H. armigera e C. includens. As curvas dose-resposta foram similares para ambas as formulações. Para a espécie H. armigera, as formulações EC e SC de indoxacarbe apresentaram CL50 de 0,113 e 0,111 µg i.a. mL-1, enquanto que para a espécie C. includens, elas apresentaram CL50 de 0,065 e 0,127 µg i.a. mL-1, respectivamente. Para avaliar movimento translaminar de indoxacarbe, folíolos de soja foram tratados com as duas formulações de indoxacarbe (30 e 60 g i.a. ha-1) e foram então infestados com lagartas neonatas de C. includens. As formulações do indoxacarbe não apresentaram ação translaminar. A espécie C. includens mostrou ser mais sensível ao indoxacarbe do que H. armigera. De modo geral, a formulação EC é tão eficaz quanto a formulação SC no controle de H. armigera e C. includens em soja e pode ser utilizada como ferramenta no Manejo Integrado de Pragas. / Currently, insect pests are impacting soybean yield and control tactics are not efficient because of their inappropriate use in the field. Therefore, options for pest management ought to be developed, such as new chemical compounds. Because of the availability of recent developed formulation (emulsifiable concentrate - EC) of indoxacarb, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of this formulation for the control of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and Chrysodeixis includens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in soybean. A field experiment was carried out using two formulations (EC and suspension concentrate - SC) of indoxacarb (30 and 60 g a.i. ha-1) and an untreated control. After spray, leaflets were collected from mid and upper regions of the plants at different times. The leaflets were infested with 3rd instar larvae of H. armigera and C. includens. The two indoxacarb formulations were effective in controlling both species, regardless of plant region. Higher doses caused > 80% mortality of H. armigera only 1h after application and of C. includens up to 3 days. In a lab experiment, fresh soybean leaflets were collected from greenhouse and immersed in solutions with increasing concentrations of the two indoxacarb formulations to build the dose-response curves. After drying, they were infested with 3rd instar larvae of H. armigera and C. includens. The dose-response curves were similar for both formulations. For H. armigera, the EC and SC indoxacarb formulations showed LC50 of 0.113 and 0.111 µg a.i. mL-1 while for C. includens, they showed LC50 of 0.065 and 0.127 µg a.i. mL-1, respectively. To evaluate translaminar movement of indoxacarb, soybean leaflets were treated with both indoxacarb formulations (30 and 60 g a.i. ha-1) and were then infested with neonate larvae C. includens. No translaminar movement was detected. The species C. includens was more sensitive to indoxacarb than H. armigera. Overall, the EC formulation is as effective as the SC formulation for the control of H. armigera and C. includes on soybean and can be used as a tool in Integrated Pest Management.

Les pales d’hélicoptère sont des structures composites soumises à un chargement cyclique multiaxial, et leur criticité impose de porter une attention particulière à la tolérance aux dommages. Leur revêtement peut potentiellement présenter des criques suite à certains évènements (impact, défaut, foudre). Ces travaux se focalisent sur un matériau de revêtement donné (tissu de verre) et concernent l’étude de la propagation de coupure (crique) sous chargement cyclique. Les sollicitations de service ont amené à considérer la traction et le cisaillement plan. Une étude expérimentale a été menée afin d’étudier les modes d’endommagement du matériau et sa résistance à la propagation de coupure pour différentes sollicitations (en traction et en cisaillement) et pour les drapages les plus courants. Elle a permis de dégager les mécanismes d’endommagement mis en jeu, et a fourni un ensemble important de propriétés matériau et de données quantitatives de vitesse de propagation. Elle a par ailleurs guidé vers une modélisation par éléments finis adaptée à l’architecture du matériau, et la manière dont il se dégrade en fatigue. Ce modèle repose sur un maillage à l’échelle de la mèche, et la prédiction de la propagation est obtenue par l’utilisation d’une courbe de fatigue S-N. La simulation a été évaluée par comparaison des faciès de rupture, des vitesses de propagation et de l’étendue des zones d’endommagement avec les essais réalisés sur éprouvettes. / Helicopter blades consist of composite structures which have to sustain multi-axial cyclic loading. Because of their criticality, damage tolerance has to be considered carefully. Their skin is subjected to environmental events like impact, flaw, lightning which can cause through-thethickness cracks. The present work focuses on one given skin material (woven glass fabric) and concerns the study of the through-the-thickness crack growth under cyclic loading. In-flight loading lead to consider tension and shear. An experimental study has been carried out to study damage in the material and its crackgrowth resistance under different loadings (tension and shear) and for usual stacking sequences. It highlighted damage mechanisms and provided an important set of material data and crack growth speeds. Besides, this led to a finite element approach adapted to the woven fabric architecture, anddamage feature under fatigue loading. This modeling is based on a bundle scale mesh, a semidiscrete damage modeling and an S-N curve to predict fiber failure. Numerical simulations of crack growth tests were carried out, and results were compared with experiments in terms of crack direction, crack growth speed, and size of damaged area.

Diversos critérios de tenacidade à fratura translaminar dinâmica foram determinados para o laminado híbrido metal-fibra TiGra, empregando-se conceitos e metodologias da Mecânica da Fratura Elástica Linear MFEL (fator-K) e da Mecânica da Fratura Elasto-Plástica MFEP (integral-J). Verificou-se que as tenacidades de iniciação elasto-plástica, Jid, e de carga máxima, Jmd, do TiGra são controladas pelo desenvolvimento, ou supressão de delaminações. Os resultados indicaram que o emprego deste material se justifica mais pela sua resistência à propagação de danos (caracterizada por Jmd) do que à iniciação da fratura dinâmica (por Jid). De modo geral, os requisitos de validade de Jid como verdadeira propriedade do material (JId) foram satisfeitos, embora para Jmd boa parte das restrições quanto ao tamanho mínimo do corpo-de-prova tenha sido violada. Mais freqüentemente, velocidades mais rápidas de impacto beneficiaram as tenacidades-J do TiGra, enquanto que temperaturas mais elevadas afetaram negativamente estas propriedades. Quanto à MFEL, a tenacidade KJd do TiGra foi beneficiada pelo incremento na taxa de carregamento sob temperaturas mais elevadas, enquanto que a tenacidade Kid foi negativamente afetada pela taxa de deformação em todas as temperaturas avaliadas. Temperaturas mais altas também degradaram as propriedades de tenacidade-K do TiGra. Em oposição às tenacidades-J, os critérios KJd e Kid não satisfizeram em absoluto os mais exigentes critérios de contenção de plasticidade estabelecidos pela MFEL, se comparados aos propostos pela MFEP. Por fim, o desempenho mecânico do laminado TiGra foi severamente comprometido quando do cômputo da densidade específica para a determinação das tenacidades J e K por unidade de massa, sendo nesta ocasião o laminado híbrido facilmente superado por vários laminados convencionais da classe dos Carbono-Epóxi. / Several dynamic translaminar fracture toughness criteria have been determined for TiGr hybrid fiber-metal laminate through Linear Elastic (K-factor) and Elastic-Plastic (J-integral) Fracture Mechanics (LEFM and EPFM, respectively) concepts and methodologies. Instrumented Charpy impact testing was carried out over a wide range of temperatures under two loading rates. It has been discovered that the elastic-plastic initiation toughness, Jid, and the toughness at maximum load, Jmd, of TiGr are controlled by either delamination favoring or suppression. Impact tests revealed that the in-service use of TiGr must rely on its resistance to dynamic fracture propagation (as characterized by Jmd) rather than on fracture initiation (by Jid). In a broad sense, the requirements for Jid data validity as a material property (JId) were fulfilled, whereas many restrictive demands in regard to the minimum testpiece size were violated by the Jmd criterion. Generally, higher impact velocities were beneficial to TiGrs J-toughnesses, inasmuch as higher temperatures impaired these properties. Regarding the LEFM approach, KJd toughness of TiGr laminate was imparted by faster impacts at higher temperatures, whilst the strain rate negatively influenced the Kid toughness over the whole temperature range tested. Higher temperatures also degraded the K-toughness properties of TiGr hybrid laminate. Differently from J-toughnesses values, the KJd e Kid criteria did not satisfy at all the more stringent criteria set forth by the LEFM approach with regard to plastic constraint, as compared to those established by EPFM. Finally, the mechanical performance of TiGr laminate was overwhelmingly compromised as the materials specific gravity was taken in account to obtain K and J toughness values by unit weight, so that TiGr was by far exceeded in this regard by conventional Carbon/Epoxy composite laminates.

A new nonlinear fracture analysis framework is developed for the mode-I and II fracture response of thick-section fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites. This framework employs 3D micromechanical constitutive models for the nonlinear material behavior along with cohesive elements for crack growth. Fracture tests on various cracked geometries are used to verify the prediction of the failure loads and the crack growth behavior. A commercially available pultruded E-glass/polyester and vinylester thick-section FRP composite material was used to demonstrate the proposed fracture approach along with the nonlinear constitutive modeling. A new Infra-red thermography technique is derived to measure the surface strain field near the crack tip in the linear response range. Mode I and II fracture toughness tests for pultruded composites are also examined using the eccentrically loaded, single-edge-notch tension, ESE(T), single-edge-notch tension, SEN(T), and a butterfly specimen with an Arcan-type fixture. Material nonlinearity and crack growth effects were observed during the tests and investigated using the proposed analysis framework. The effect of material orthotropy on the stress intensity factor solutions was addressed using the virtual crack closure technique. The analytic and experimental results support the use of the ESE(T) specimen for the measuring the mode-I fracture toughness and the butterfly shaped specimen for measuring the mode-II toughness. The calibrated cohesive models were able to predict the measured crack growth in both modes I and II for various crack geometries. A mixed mode failure criterion is proposed and verified with test results. Examples are presented for using this criterion and crack growth analyses. The experimental and analytical results of this study can form a foundation for using fracture-based methods for the design of structures using these materials.
