The objective of this project is to design a tool for moderate cross section reduction of bars that are deformed within a channel slider tool that is used for equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). The bars that are deformed via ECAE have an initial square cross section with a nominal value of 1.00 in2 and aspect ratios (length/width) ranging between 4 and 6. A systems engineering design methodology is used to generate a topbottom approach in the development of the tool's design. This includes defining a need statement, which is the "Need for an area reduction extrusion tool to replace the current practices of machining ECAE processed billets". The system functions and requirements are defined next and used to generate three concepts that are compared to select the winning concept for further refinement. Major components of the selected tool are: a container, ram, base plate, punch plate, four die-inserts, four wedges and four flange locks. For materials, such as copper (C10100) and aluminum (Al6061-T6), that can be processed by this tool, the upper bound extrusion pressure, which is derived by limit analysis, is set at 192 ksi. The upper bound extrusion pressure is constrained by the buckling limit of the ram, which is 202 ksi. The maximum wall stress experienced by the container is 113 ksi. For materials with the same cross section and dimensions, fixed end conditions of the Ram support larger bucking loads when compared to other end conditions such as rounded ends or rounded-fixed ends. With the application of the upper bound method, an increase in the extrusion ratio of the tool causes a corresponding rise in the optimal cone angle of the die further translating to a rise in the extrusion pressure.

No estado de Mato Grosso, a área reflorestada com Tectona grandis é de aproximadamente 43 mil hectares. A crescente demanda por madeira de reflorestamento vem impulsionando a expansão de novas áreas. Neste contexto, é imprescindível estudos e informações sobre esta cultura no Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal identificar as espécies de coleobrocas que atacam a madeira de T. grandis com casca e sem casca, em reflorestamento localizado no Município de Rosário Oeste, estado de Mato Grosso. O delineamento experimental adotado foi fatorial 2x4 com dois tratamentos (toretes com casca e toretes sem casca) e quatro tempos de armazenamento (30, 60, 90 e 120 dias). Neoclytus pusillus (Cerambycidae) e Xyleborus ferrugineus (Scolytidae) foram as espécies mais importantes nas madeiras com casca e Xyleborus ferrugineus (Scolytidae), Neoclytus pusillus (Cerambycidae), Micrapate sp., Xyloperthella picea e Bostrychopsis uncinata (Bostrichidae) nas madeiras sem casca. / This paper evaluates the species of wood borers occurring on cut wood with bark and debarked wood of Tectona grandis. The statistical model was carried out in a completely randomized design. The treatments were defined in a 2x4 factorial array with two treatment (logs with bark and logs debarked) and four storage times (30, 60, 90 and 120 days), and the data were analyzed through the statistical program SAS. The most common species in logs with bark were Neoclytus pusillus (Cerambycidae) and Xyleborus ferrugineus (Scolytidae) and the most important ones in debarked logs were Xyleborus ferrugineus (Scolytidae), Neoclytus pusillus (Cerambycidae), Micrapate sp., Xyloperthella picea and Bostrychopsis uncinata (Bostrichidae).

Induction heating is a common industrial process used for the reheating of billets before extrusion or forging. In this work the influence of the coil and work piece geometry, the effect of the electrical properties of the work piece, and the coil current and frequency, on the magnetic flux density and resulting work piece heating rates were studied. A combination of 1D analytical solutions, 2D axial symmetric finite element modelling and precise measurements has been used. Dozens of heating and magnetic field experiments have been conducted, with steadily increasing sophistication and measurement accuracy. The development of the experimental techniques will be described in the ‘cover’ and related to the later results published in the supplements. Experimental results are compared to predictions obtained from analytical and numerical models. The published measurements obtained for the billet heating experiments consisted of: billet electrical conductivity with &lt;0.5% error, applied currents with &lt;1% error, magnetic flux densities with 1-2% error, calorifically determined heating rates with &lt;2% error and electrical reactive power with &lt;~2% error. 2 D axial symmetric finite element models were obtained, which describe the measured results with less than a 2% difference (i.e. an ‘error’ of the same magnitude as the measurement uncertainty). Heating and reactive power results predicted by the FEM model are in excellent agreement with analytical solutions from 50 Hz to 500 kHz (differences from &lt;1% to 6%). A modified 1D short coil correction factor is presented which accounts for the interaction of the coil and work piece geometry, electrical properties and operating frequency, on the average magnetic flux density of the coil/work piece air-gap and the resulting heating rate. Using this factor, the average magnetic flux density in the air-gap can be estimated analytically within 2-3% and the heating rates of billets of known electrical properties can be estimated, with typical errors on the order of 5%. / <p>QC 20130618</p>

Neste trabalho é realizado um estudo teórico-experimental do processo de forjamento a quente em matriz fechada de peças tubulares, denominadas comercialmente por flanges. O material utilizado para fabricação das peças é a liga de alumínio AA 6351. Normalmente, tais peças são forjadas a partir de billets maciços e os furos centrais são, posteriormente, usinados. Desta forma, este trabalho visa o estudo do uso de billets vazados em substituição aos maciços minimizando a perda de material e força necessária para o forjamento que podem ser relativamente significativos dependendo do peso, geometria da peça, e tamanho do lote produzido. O processo de forjamento foi planejado e executado com auxilio de softwares, onde o projeto do ferramental foi realizado em programa de CAD 3D da empresa SolidWorks, e a simulação numérica computacional, aplicada para predizer o comportamento do material no final do forjamento, no programa Simufact. Forming 11.0. Foram analisados, por simulação numérica computacional, dados como a estimativa da força necessária para forjar a peça em estudo, preenchimento da matriz, escoamento do material e as deformações finais. Utilizam-se cálculos analíticos, baseados na Teoria Elementar da Plasticidade (TEP), para estimar a força necessária para o forjamento. Os resultados obtidos experimentalmente validam a utilização de métodos numéricos e analíticos para desenvolvimento de processos de forjamento. Os resultados de força obtidos utilizando o modelo matemático da Teoria Elementar da Plasticidade (TEP) foram os que mais se distanciaram da força real necessária para o forjamento, no caso do billet maciço foi de 2706 kN, enquanto que a força utilizada no experimento foi de 3432 kN e com a utilização do billet vazado a força calculada pela TEP foi de 2579 kN e a real foi de 2451 kN. Já a simulação indica valores necessários de 2432 kN para o billet vazado e 2814 kN para o billet maciço. Conclui-se, então, que com a utilização de billets vazados a força para o forjamento e o material utilizado são inferiores, assim, comprovando sua vantagem em relação ao processo de fabricação convencional. / In this paper is done a theoretical-experimental study of the hot forging process in closed die of tubular components, commercially known as flanges. The material used for the manufacture process of the pieces is AA6351. These pieces are usually forged from massive billets and the central holes are subsequently machined. In this way, this paper aims the use of hollow billets instead of the massive ones, minimizing the loss of material and strength used in forging that can be relatively significant depending on the weight, geometry of the piece and size of the batch produced. The forging process was planned and done with the help of software where the tooling project is performed in CAD 3D from Solidworks, and the computer numerical simulation applied to predict the material behavior at the final of the forging process in Simufact Forming 11.0. Data as strength, die filling, material draining and final deformation are analyzed by computer numerical simulation. Analytical calculation, based on the Plasticity Elementary Theory (TEP), are performed in order to estimate the necessary strength for the forging process. The results, experimentally obtained, validate the use of numerical and analytical methods in forging process development. The strength results obtained using the mathematical model of Plasticity Elementary Theory, were the farthest from the real required strength used in forging. As with the massive billet, the strength was 2706 kN while the strength used in the experiment was 3432 kN and using de hollow billet the estimated strength calculated by the TEP was 2579 kN while the real one was 2451 kN. Yet, the simulation indicates required values of 2432 kN for the hollow billet and 2814 kN for the massive billet. We can therefore conclude that when using hollow billets the strength required in forging and the used material are inferior, thus proving its advantage in relation to the conventional manufacture process.

Tableau d'honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2011-2012 / La partie création consiste en un recueil d'une trentaine de courts essais ayant paru d'octobre 2008 à avril 2011 sous forme de chroniques dans la rubrique Renauderies du journal Droit de Parole, journal mensuel communautaire des groupes populaires distribué au centre-ville de Québec en 15 000 exemplaires. La partie réflexion se penche sur une forme de chronique de facture intimiste entrevue par Vincent Charles Lambert et s'avérant particulièrement populaire au début du XXe siècle au Québec dans les grands journaux de masse, le « billet ». L'étude de ces billets vise à mieux évaluer, sur le plan littéraire, les possibilités qu'implique la diffusion d'une écriture autonome en regard de l'actualité, à l'intérieur d'un journal se voulant essentiellement informatif. La participation du poète « intimiste » Albert Lozeau au journal Le Devoir entre 1910 et 1924 offre un excellent exemple de la créativité que peut susciter l'écriture du « billet » et c'est pourquoi le présent mémoire lui consacre une place privilégiée. Un carnet de création vient clore le mémoire et permet de préciser en quoi l'étude des « billettistes » est venue alimenter la réflexion sur l'écriture des Renauderies. Il fait le lien entre les deux parties du mémoire et raconte l'expérience de l'auteur dans le contexte médiatique concret.

This diploma thesis deals with the cultivation of fast-growing wood and concentrates on the influence of particular factors like e.g. location, agrotechnology and fertilizers, which have a crucial impact on the phytomass production. Moreover, the thesis evaluates the economic efficiency of this type of sustainable energy ressource, which can be a source of local business. Introductory theoretical chapters describe essentials rules of the cultivation of fast-growing wood. Furthermore the thesis presents general information in this field and proposes suitable wood clones. In addition, the thesis outlines the process of choice and preparation of the agricultural parcel, the usage of various fertilizes, herbicides and agrotechnology. The applied core characterises the business case itself. The primary research compares financial investment and its return of two examined agricultural parcels under the prerequisit of suitable choice of location and agrotechnology. A trail phase depictes the cultivation of fast-gworing wood and discuss presumptions for succesfull business. This thesis is mainly based on primary research. The acquired data are further analyzed and the final chapter attempts to outline the results and suggest measures.
