Resumo: A classificação e padronização da madeira serrada é uma atividade de rotina, desenvolvida por países que se apresentam como grandes consumidores deste material. O Brasil não pratica a classificação dos materiais à base de madeira, em geral. Essa afirmação é particularmente verdadeira para o caso da madeira serrada. Em outros segmentos de mercado, em que o país ocupa posição de destaque como fornecedor internacional, tem-se visto forçado a estabelecer padrões mínimos de qualidade e a atingir marcas de conformidade, para continuidade dos fornecimentos. O Centro Virtual de Pesquisas em Madeiras - CEVEMAD, através do Laboratório de Ensaios de Materiais - FCA/UNESP tem desenvolvido pesquisas com o intuito principal de avaliar a sensibilidade dos ensaios não-destrutivos na avaliação de alguns defeitos potenciais presentes correntemente nas madeiras de rápido crescimento (notadamente pinus e eucalipto). No enfoque dado pelo CEVEMAD - Centro Virtual de Pesquisas em Madeiras, os ensaios não-destrutivos são encarados como ferramenta alternativa e/ou complementar no processo de classificação das madeiras (classificações quanto às classes de resistência e categorias de qualidade). Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal avaliar a sensibilidade dos principais métodos não-destrutivos como ferramentas alternativas e/ou complementares no processo classificatório de vigas (6cm x 12cm x 280 cm) de Eucalyptus sp. As madeiras empregadas no programa experimental foram obtidas a partir de material genético disponibilizado por empresas de reflorestamento da região do cerrado do Estado de Minas Gerais - MG. Foram amostradas 296 vigas de dimensões estruturais (6cm x 12cm x 280cm) de 10 clones distintos de Eucalyptus, que foram ensaiadas não-destrutivamente...

Brazil does not practice the classification of wood base materials, in general. This is particularly true for the case of the sawn wood. In other segments, in which Brazil occupies prominente position as international supplier, it has been forced to establish minimum patterns of quality and to reach conformity marks. The Virtual Center of Researches on Wood - CEVEMAD, through the Laboratory of Testing Materials - FCA/UNESP - Sao Paulo State University - Brazil has carried out researches with the main objective of evaluating the sensibility of non-destructive tests in the evaluation of potential defects in wood from fast grown plantation (especially Pinus and Eucalyptus). In its peculiar focus, non-destructive tests are considered as alternative and/or complementary tool in the sawn wood classification process (either mechanical and visual classification). This work had the main objective of evaluating the sensibility of most common non-destructive tests in the classification of dimension lumber of from fast grown Eucalyptus plantation. Wood was obtained from genetic material supplied cultivated at Curvelo region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. 296 beams of structural dimensions (6 cm x 12 cm x 280 cm) from 10 different clones of Eucalyptus were sampled. Beams were non-destructively (stress wave, ultrasound and resonance methods) and destructively (static bending and compression parallel to grain) tested. The results of tests were correlated, being considered the present defects in each one of the studied pieces and the non-destructive tests showed sensibility in the classification of pieces of structural dimensions of the sawn wood of Eucalyptus when framed in strips of velocity, both in the green condition and in the equilibrium moisture...

Antes de utilizar as toras de madeira como elemento estrutural é necessário avaliar as propriedades mecânicas desse material tanto por inspeção visual quanto por ensaio mecânico. A técnica de vibração transversal tem se destacado entre os demais métodos de Avaliação Não-Destrutiva para madeira serrada por obter estimativas acuradas do módulo de elasticidade à flexão. Contudo, testes prévios com essa técnica evidenciaram dificuldades de empregá-la na avaliação a rigidez à flexão de toras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi propor um método de ensaio para estimar o módulo de elasticidade na flexão de toras de madeira por meio de vibração transversal. O método proposto foi testado e validado em uma amostra de 40 toras de Eucalyptus sp. Foram obtidas boas correlações entre o módulo de elasticidade estático e o módulo de elasticidade dinâmico obtido pelo ensaio de vibração transversal. / Before using the wood logs as a structural element is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties of this material by visual inspection and mechanical testing. The transverse vibration technique has stood out among the other methods of Non-Destructive Evaluation for lumber to obtain accurate estimates of the bending modulus of elasticity. However, previous tests showed difficulties with this technique to use it to evaluate the bending stiffness of logs. The aim of this work is to propose a test method to estimate the bending modulus of elasticity of wood logs by means of transverse vibration. The proposed method was tested and validated on a sample of 40 logs of Eucalyptus sp. It was obtained good correlation between the static bending and dynamic modulus of elasticity obtained by transverse vibration test.

Dans ce travail, la méthode homogénéisation de multi-échelle, ainsi que diverses méthodes non homogénéisation, seront présentés pour étudier le comportement dynamique des structures périodiques. La méthode de multi-échelle commence par la séparation d'échelles. Dans ce cas, une échelle microscopique pour décrire le comportement local et une échelle macroscopique pour décrire le comportement global sont introduites. D'après la théorie de l'homogénéisation, la longueur d'onde est supposée grande, et la longueur de la cellule doit être beaucoup plus petite que la longueur caractéristique de la structure. Ainsi, le domaine d'homogénéisation est limité à la première zone de propagation. Le modèle d'homogénéisation traditionnel utilise des valeurs moyennes des éléments, mais le domaine de validité pratique est beaucoup plus petit que la première bande interdite. Alors, le développement de nouveaux modèles homogénéisés est beaucoup motivé par cet inconvénient. Par rapport au modèle d'homogénéisation traditionnel, équations d'ordre supérieur sont proposées pour fournir des modèles homogénéisation plus précises. Deux méthodes multi-échelles sont introduites: la méthode de développement asymptotique, et la méthode de l'homogénéisation des milieux périodiques discrètes (HMPD). Ces méthodes seront appliquées de façon séquentielle dans le cas d'onde longitudinale et le cas d'onde transversale. Les mêmes modèles d'ordre supérieur sont obtenus par les deux méthodes dans les deux cas. Ensuite, les modèles proposés sont validés en examinant la relation de dispersion et de la fonction de réponse fréquentielle. Des solutions analytiques et la méthode des ondes éléments finis(WFEM) sont utilisés pour donner les références. Des études paramétriques sont effectuées dans le cas infini, et deux différentes conditions aux limites sont prises en compte dans le cas fini. Ensuite, le HMPD et CWFEM sont utilisés pour étudier les vibrations longitudinales et transversales des structures réticulées dans le cas 1D et 2D. Le domaine de validité du HPDM est réévalué à l'aide de la fonction de propagation identifiée par le CWFEM. L'erreur relative au nombre d'onde obtenue par HPDM est illustré sur la fonction de la fréquence et le rapport d'échelle. Des études paramétriques sur l'épaisseur de la structure sont réalisées par la relation de dispersion. La dynamique des structures finies sont également étudiés en utilisant la HPDM et CWFEM. / In this work, the multi-scale homogenization method, as well as various non homogenization methods, will be presented to study the dynamic behaviour of periodic structures. The multi-scale method starts with the scale-separation, which indicates a micro-scale to describe the local behaviour and a macro-scale to describe the global behaviour. According to the homogenization theory, the long-wave assumption is used, and the unit cell length should be much smaller than the characteristic length of the structure. Thus, the valid frequency range of homogenization is limited to the first propagating zone. The traditional homogenization model makes use of material properties mean values, but the practical validity range is far less than the first Bragg band gap. This deficiency motivated the development of new enriched homogenized models. Compared to traditional homogenization model, higher order homogenized wave equations are proposed to provide more accuracy homogenized models. Two multi-scale methods are introduced: the asymptotic expansion method, and the homogenization of periodic discrete media method (HPDM). These methods will be applied sequentially in longitudinal wave cases in bi-periodic rods and flexural wave cases in bi-periodic beams. Same higher order models are obtained by the two methods in both cases. Then, the proposed models are validated by investigating the dispersion relation and the frequency response function. Analytical solutions and wave finite element method (WFEM) are used as references. Parametric studies are carried out in the infinite case while two different boundary conditions are considered in the finite case. Afterwards, the HPDM and the CWFEM are employed to study the longitudinal and transverse vibrations of framed structures in 1D case and 2D case. The valid frequency range of the HPDM is re-evaluated using the wave propagation feature identified by the CWFEM. The relative error of the wavenumber by HPDM compared to CWFEM is illustrated in the function of frequency and scale ratio. Parametric studies on the thickness of the structure is carried out through the dispersion relation. The dynamics of finite structures are also investigated using the HPDM and CWFEM.

O programa inicial de elementos finitos, que realiza a análise estática, foi desenvolvido por Tápia (1998), usando o elemento finito de Kosmatka (1994), formulado com a teoria de deformação por cisalhamento de primeira ordem de Reissner-Mindlin. Cassiano (2002) implementou nesse programa o cálculo das freqüências naturais. Neste trabalho foi introduzida a análise dinâmica forçada, através da integração direta no tempo, empregando o método de Newmark. Exemplos comparativos com variações das espessuras das placas, do número de lâminas, das orientações das fibras e das vinculações das bordas, mostram o excelente comportamento do elemento finito aqui empregado / Abstract: : The aim of this study is the dynamic analysis of laminated composite plates under forced transverse vibration with time direct-integration method. The original program, with the static analysis, was developed by Tapia (1998) using the element proposed by Kosmatka (1994), formulated with first-order shear deformation theory of Reissner-Mindlin. Later Cassiano (2002) introduced into this finite element code the evaluation of the natural frequencies. In this thesis the dynamic analysis by means of a direct time integration method, which was formulated by Newmark, was performed. Comparative examples with several plates thicknesses, number of laminates, orientation of the fibers and boundary constraints, show the excellent performance of the finite element used herein / Mestrado / Estruturas / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

The flexural and tensile properties of visually graded southern yellow pine lumber were modeled. Longitudinal and transverse vibration techniques and proof-loading bending tests were used to assess the flexural and tensile properties of southern pine lumber. The properties evaluated were dynamic modulus of elasticity (dMOE), static modulus of elasticity (Eb), tension modulus of elasticity (Et), and ultimate tensile stress (UTS). The tensile properties were evaluated in the direction parallel to the grain. This study presents the results of tests conducted on No. 2 2 × 6 and 2 × 10 southern pine lumber of two different lengths (14 ft. and 16 ft.). The results of the analysis show that nondestructive testing techniques are excellent to assess Et and Eb. Moderate relationships were found between dMOE and UTS and between Eb and UTS. Improvements in the prediction of UTS were done with the inclusion of additional parameters into the model. The combination of dMOE, density, and frequency domain area (FDA) generated the highest coefficient of determination for UTS. The distributions of flexural and tensile properties were analyzed for the goodness of fit. Normal distribution was found for Eb data whereas the lognormal distribution was the best fit for the tensile properties.
