Noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne molecular spectro-metry (NICE-OHMS) is one of the most sensitive laser-based absorption techniques. The high sensitivity of NICE-OHMS is obtained by a unique combination of cavity enhancement (for increased interaction length with a sample) with frequency modulation spectrometry (for reduction of noise). Moreover, sub-Doppler detection is possible due to the presence of high intensity counter-propagating waves inside an external resonator, which provides an excellent spectral selectivity. The high sensitivity and selectivity make NICE-OHMS particularly suitable for trace gas detection. Despite this, the technique has so far not been often used for practical applications due to its technical complexity, originating primarily from the requirement of an active stabilization of the laser frequency to a cavity mode. The main aim of the work presented in this thesis has been to develop a simpler and more robust NICE-OHMS instrumentation without compro-mising the high sensitivity and selectivity of the technique. A compact NICE-OHMS setup based on a fiber laser and a fiber-coupled electro-optic modulator has been constructed. The main advantage of the fiber laser is its narrow free-running linewidth, which significantly simplifies the frequency stabilization procedure. It has been demonstrated, using acetylene and carbon dioxide as pilot species, that the system is capable of detecting relative absorption down to 3 × 10-9 on a Doppler-broadened transition, and sub-Doppler optical phase shift down to 1.6 × 10-10, the latter corresponding to a detection limit of 1 × 10-12 atm of C2H2. Moreover, the potential of dual frequency modulation dispersion spectrometry (DFM-DS), an integral part of NICE-OHMS, for concentration measurements has been assessed. This thesis contributes also to the theoretical description of Doppler-broadened and sub-Doppler NICE-OHMS signals, as well as DFM-DS signals. It has been shown that the concentration of an analyte can be deduced from a Doppler-broadened NICE-OHMS signal detected at an arbitrary and unknown detection phase, provided that a fit of the theoretical lineshape to the experimental data is performed. The influence of optical saturation on Doppler-broadened NICE-OHMS signals has been described theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. In particular, it has been shown that the Doppler-broadened dispersion signal is unaffected by optical saturation in the Doppler limit. An expression for the sub-Doppler optical phase shift, valid for high degrees of saturation, has been derived and verified experimentally up to degrees of saturation of 100.

Le collage direct est un procédé par lequel deux surfaces suffisamment planes et propres peuvent se coller sans ajout d'un adhésif. Le collage direct de surfaces structurées est souvent utilisé pour la fabrication de système mécanique microélectronique (MEMS), où une plaque de silicium avec des cavités est collée à une autre plaque de silicium. La fabrication de ces dispositifs est chère et il serait utile d'avoir une ligne directrice lors du dessin de structures afin de savoir à l'avance si le collage direct sera possible.Un modèle de simulation 2D pour le collage direct de deux substrats est développéet utilisé pour étudier l'influence des cavités sur la vitesse de propagation de l'ondede collage. Les prédications données par des simulations avec Comsol® sont en bonnecohérence avec les mesures expérimentales et une loi en 2 dimensions de la vitesse de collage est obtenue. Le collage de plaques parfaitement planes avec des cavités serait toujours possible. Les limitations lors du collage de vraies plaques sont dues au coût de l'énergie élastique pour déformer les plaques non parfaitement planes. Cette limite est atteinte facilement quand l'onde de collage doit traverser une tranchée, dans ce cas un dessin avec un petit guide de collage pour aider à traverser la cavité fonctionnera mieux. La taille de ce guide d'onde doit être choisis en considèrent la flèche de la plaque. En effet la seconde règle importante du dessin est de garder une surface de collage suffisante pour avoir plus d'énergie d'adhésion que le coût en énergie élastique dû à la déformation des plaques non parfaitement planes.L'énergie d'adhésion est un important paramètre du collage direct, car c'est l'énergie qui permet l'adhésion. Cette énergie d'adhésion est différente de l'énergie de collage la plus répandues qui est l'énergie requise pour séparer deux plaques précédemment collées. Dans cet ouvrage une méthode simple de mesure d'adhésion est proposée. Une mesure de l'évolution de l'énergie d'adhésion sur un temps long nous mène à proposer un mécanisme d'évolution lié à la formation de ponts capillaires entre des surfaces rugueuses. / Direct bonding is a process by which two sufficiently flat and clean surfaces can bond to each other without any added adhesive layer. Direct bonding of patterned surfaces is often used for the fabrication of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), where a silicon wafer with cavities is bonded to a plain wafer. The fabrication of these devices is expensive and it would be useful to have guidelines when designing knew devices to know in advance if direct bonding will be possible.A 2D simulation model of the direct bonding of two substrates is developed and usedto study the influence of the cavities on the bonding wave velocity. The prediction of the simulation run with Comsol® are in good coherence with the experimental measures and a 2D law of the bonding velocity is obtained. The bonding of perfectly flat wafers with cavities should always be possible. Limitations to the bonding of real wafers are due to the elastic energy cost of deforming the non perfectly flat wafers. This limit is reached easily when the bonding wave must cross a trench, so a design with a small bonding guide to help cross the cavity will work best. The width of this wave guide should be chosen by considering the bow of the wafer. Indeed the second important design rule is to keep a bonding area big enough to have more adhesion energy than the elastic energy cost due to non flat wafers deformation.The adhesion energy is an important parameter of the direct bonding, as it is theenergy that drives the adhesion. This adhesion energy is different from the more widely known bonding energy which is the energy needed to separate two previously bonded wafers. In this work a simple method to measure the adhesion is proposed. Long time measurement of the evolution of the adhesion energy lead us to propose a mechanism for its evolution linked to the formation of capillary bridges between rough surfaces.

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a adaptação marginal em restaurações classe II em dentina e esmalte dental utilizando um sistema adesivo universal de acordo com três técnicas diferentes de aplicação: Autocondicionante, condicionamento seletivo e condicionamento total, através do sistema de tomografia por coerência óptica (OCT), antes e após ao envelhecimento por termociclagem (TC). Preparos classe II foram confeccionados nas paredes mesial e distal, em 30 molares hígidos humanos, com término da cavidade em esmalte e em dentina. Todos os espécimenes foram restaurados (adesivo Single Bond Universal e resina composta Filtek Z350 XT) nas três técnicas de aplicação. Os dentes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos (n=10), sendo um para cada técnica de aplicação adesiva: Grupo I: autocondicionante, Grupo II: condicionamento seletivo e Grupo III: condicionamento total; em seguida os grupos foram avaliados antes e depois a termociclagem pelo sistema de tomografia por coerência ótica. De posse dos corpos de prova devidamente restaurados, partimos para os procedimentos de termociclagem (1000 ciclos de 1 minuto com intervalo de 30 segundos) e a avaliação pelo sistema de Tomografia por Coerência Óptica. Em seguida, as amostras foram examinadas por meio de imagens geradas pelo OCT e os dados foram submetidos ao teste estatístico não-paramétricos de Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn (p<0.05). Foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante da adaptação marginal entre os grupos com término em esmalte (p= 0.0073); para os grupos com término em dentina, não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante na adaptação marginal (p=0.2063). Conclui-se que o OCT foi, então, capaz de diagnosticar a microinfiltração marginal nas restaurações em cavidades classe II. Existe deterioração das margens e alteração de padrão de infiltração marginal com as diferentes técnicas adesivas dos preparos classe II restauradas com resina em esmalte. Atribui-se à termociclagem a falha de vedamento marginal observada nos espécimes após em esmalte. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

A cavitação e a dinâmica de bolhas são tópicos bastante recorrentes na literatura, devido sobretudo a seus efeitos em diversos tipos de fenômenos, como transferência de calor e escoamento em tubos. Considerando fases líquidas, sabe-se que estas estruturas de cavidade estão normalmente associadas ao equilíbrio metaestável, alcançado devido a quedas locais de pressão ou ao superaquecimento de uma substância pura (ou quase). Nestes casos é necessária a inicialização da mudança de fase através de algum mecanismo adequado, o qual gera uma sequência rápida de fenômenos. Apesar de comumente associado a danos, recentemente vários estudos vêm mostrando aplicações práticas deste tema, além de um campo ainda pouco explorado, que é o das macro cavidades. Essas cavidades podem ser geradas através do aquecimento de água a baixa pressão, sob condições específicas, criando sequências explosivas e formando movimentos como pistão para a água no interior de um invólucro convenientemente dimensionado. Este fenômeno mostra-se semelhante em diversos aspectos às micro cavidades, mais especificamente às cavidades próximas a superfícies livres, embora, sem dúvida, em escala muito maior. Os aspectos mencionados foram filmados com câmeras de alta velocidade e as características observadas foram comparadas com aquelas observadas em micro escala. Vários testes foram desenvolvidos de forma a melhor entender a dinâmica da formação e colapso dessas estruturas, sobretudo levando em conta um comportamento mais unidimensional para a evolução da bolha. Através de várias aproximações e análise de diferentes hipóteses para a variação de pressão e para a força de resistência, soluções analíticas e numéricas foram obtidas para a força exercida no fundo do contêiner e para a expansão e colapso das bolhas ao longo do tempo. As soluções propostas, em comparação com os dados experimentais, mostraram boa concordância entre si, sugerindo que os aspectos fundamentais da dinâmica da cavidade foram devidamente considerados e quantificados. / Cavitation and bubble dynamics are fairly recurring topics in literature, mostly due to their effects in various types of phenomena such as heat transfer and flow in pipes. Considering liquid phases, it is known that these cavity structures are normally associated with the metastable equilibrium, reached due to local pressure drop or overheating of a pure substance (or nearly so). In these cases, the phase change require a startup via some appropriate mechanism, which generates a fast sequence of phenomena. Although commonly associated with damage, recently several studies shown practical applications of these topics, and a still little explored field emerged, which is the field of macro cavities. These cavities can be generated by heating water at a low pressure, under specific conditions, creating an explosive sequences and forming piston like movements for the water inside a properly scaled casing. This phenomenon appears to be similar in many aspects to micro cavities, more specifically for cavities near free surfaces, although, without doubt, on a much larger scale. The mentioned aspects were filmed with high-speed cameras and the main features were compared with those observed in micro scale. Several tests have been developed to better understand the dynamics of the formation and collapse of these structures, especially taking into account a more one-dimensional behavior to the evolution of the bubble. Through various approximations, and analysis of different assumptions for the variation of pressure and the resistance force, analytical and numerical solutions were obtained for the force exerted on the bottom of the container and the expansion and collapse of bubbles over time. The proposed solutions in comparison with experimental data showed good agreement between each other suggesting that the fundamental aspects of the dynamics of the cavity were properly considered and quantified.

O tratamento restaurador atraumático constitui-se numa abordagem de cuidados minimamente invasivos que objetivam a prevenção e interrupção da progressão da cárie dentária. Não existe na literatura estudo clínico randomizado em dentes decíduos comparando restaurações de classe II de ART, com e sem retenções adicionais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de sulcos de retenção proximal sobre as taxas de sobrevida das restaurações classe II de ART em dentes decíduos, usando cimento de ionômero de vidro de alta viscosidade e alta resistência flexural. Foram incluídas 183 crianças com idade entre 4 a 7 anos, com boa saúde geral, 1 a 4 cavidades de classe II em molares decíduos sem envolvimento pulpar ou dor de dente. Dessas crianças, 300 dentes foram randomizados e distribuídos em dois grupos, conforme o índice de cárie da criança e o tamanho da cavidade a ser restaurada. Os grupos foram: controle restaurações de ART classe II convencionais (Grupo 1, n=150) e teste restaurações de ART classe II contendo sulcos de retenção proximais (Grupo 2, n=150). Cada um dos grupos seguiu procedimentos clínicos padronizados. No grupo teste as retenções foram realizadas com colher de dentina modificada no ângulo gengivovestibular/ lingual até 0,5 mm da junção amelo-dentinária da margem oclusal. Após 6 e 12 meses 130 restaurações do Grupo 1 e 110 restaurações do Grupo 2 foram examinadas de forma cega utilizando os critérios do ART Frencken adaptado e do USPHS modificado. Para a taxa de sobrevida das restaurações foi utilizado o teste de Kaplan-Meier (p<0,05). Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos (p=0,70) utilizando os critérios do ART, sendo que as taxas de sobrevida encontradas para ambos os grupos foram superiores a 90%. O mesmo resultado foi observado em todos os critérios (cor, descoloração marginal, recidiva de cárie, forma anatômica, integridade marginal e textura superficial) USPHS (p>0,05). Os principais motivos de falhas das restaurações foram perda total ou parcial da restauração (84%), seguido de inflamação pulpar (16%). Conclui-se que as restaurações classe II de ART com sulcos de retenção proximal apresentaram taxa de sobrevida semelhantes às restaurações sem retenção após 6 e 12 meses. / The atraumatic restorative treatment is an approach of minimally invasive care that aims to prevent and interrupt the progression of dental caries. There is no randomized clinical trial in primary teeth with multiple surface ART restorations, with and without additional retentions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of proximal retention grooves on the survival rates of occlusoproximal ART restorations in primary teeth using high viscosity glass ionomer cement with high flexural strength. A total of 183 children aged 4 to 7 years, with good general health, 1 to 4 occlusoproximal cavities in primary molars without pulp involvement or tooth pain were included. Of these children, three hundred teeth were randomized and alocated into two groups, according to the child\'s caries index and the size of the cavity to be restored. The groups were: control - conventional occlusoproximal ART restorations (Group 1, n=150) and test - occlusoproximal ART restorations containing proximal retention grooves (Group 2, n=150). The procedures of both groups followed standardized steps. In the test group the retentions were performed with a modified dentin spoon at the gingival-vestibular / lingual angle up to 0.5 mm from the amelodentin junction of the occlusal margin. After 6 and 12 months 130 restorations in Group 1 and 110 restorations in Group 2 were examined (blind) using the modified ART Frencken criteria and the modified USPHS criteria. The Kaplan-Meier test was performed for the survival rate of the restorations (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups (p=0.70) using the ART criteria, and the survival rates found for both groups were greater than 90%. The same results was observed for all USPHS criteria (color, marginal discoloration, secondary decay, anatomical form, marginal integrity and surface texture) (p>0.05). The main reasons for restorations failure were total or partial loss of restoration (84%), followed by pulpal inflammation (16%). It was concluded that multiple surface ART restorations with proximal retention grooves presented similar survival rates to non-grooves restorations after 6 and 12 months.

Au cours du temps, les cavités souterraines sont soumises à un vieillissement et plusieurs types de dégradation peuvent apparaitre. Les anciennes exploitations souterraines, parfois constituées d’un ou plusieurs niveaux, n’ont, sans doute, pas été conçues pour être stables à long terme. Elles ont été réalisées à une époque où n'existaient pas d'enjeux en surface, de zones de travaux, ce qui permettait d’éviter de se préoccuper des mouvements de sol induits. Elles ont pu quelquefois être totalement ou partiellement remblayées, mais pas de manière systématique. L’effondrement d'une cavité souterraine engendre la déconsolidation des niveaux supérieurs des terrains de recouvrement. Ces mécanismes peuvent provoquer en surface deux types de désordres : un affaissement ou un fontis. L'affaissement et le fontis peuvent provoquer des graves dommages aux structures et aux infrastructures en surface mais aussi mettre en péril la sécurité des populations. Les travaux de cette thèse s’articulent autour de l’étude du foisonnement, du fontis et de sa propagation dans les terrains de recouvrement.Les objectifs de cette thèse sont doubles : tout d’abord il s’agit d’étudier le foisonnement de la roche lors d’un effondrement de toit de carrières souterraines ; ensuite il s’agit de modéliser la propagation du fontis dans les terrains de recouvrement et ainsi hiérarchiser les paramètres associés à ce phénomène.La première partie de cette thèse repose sur une étude bibliographique qui récapitule les méthodes d’exploitation, méthodes d’analyse de stabilité de carrières souterraines, méthodes de prévision de la hauteur d’effondrement et estimation de foisonnement. A l’issue de cette synthèse bibliographique l’étude s’est focalisée sur les carrières souterraines à faible profondeur exploitées par chambres et piliers. Ainsi, la modélisation numérique par la méthode des éléments discrets (MED) a été choisie pour analyser l’instabilité des toits de carrières souterraines.La seconde partie s’intéresse au développement d’un modèle numérique qui a pour objectifs : d’une part, le développement d’un Programme de Discrétisation des Massifs Rocheux (PDMR) qui constitue le préprocesseur du logiciel STTAR3D et le développement d’un code permettant le calcul du coefficient de foisonnement des débris de l’effondrement. D’autre part, l’implémentation des lois de comportement sur STTAR3D.La troisième partie consiste à déterminer, d’une part les caractéristiques physico-mécaniques d’échantillons prélevés dans la carrière de la Brasserie (Paris-France), qui a été choisie pour une tester le modèle développé et d’autre part, les deux paramètres de la loi de comportement utilisée pour modéliser les contacts à savoir  et µ.Enfin, la dernière partie de ce travail est constituée des simulations numériques pour lesquelles les paramètres de la loi de comportement mesuré expérimentalement ont été introduits dans STTAR3D. Dans la première étude numérique menée, on s’intéresse à l’effet de la hauteur de chute, du rayon de l’ouverture initiale du fontis et du degré de fracturation sur le foisonnement des décombres, ainsi qu’à l’effet de la variation du foisonnement sur la hauteur de l’effondrement et sur l’affaissement. Dans un second temps, on réalise un modèle de la carrière de la Brasserie dont on calcule le comportement par simulation numérique afin d’obtenir l’affaissement en surface et la hauteur de l’effondrement qui sont comparés aux observations in-situ / Over time, the underground cavities are subjected to aging and several types of degradation can occur. The old underground cavities have probably not been designed to be stable over the long term. They have sometimes been totally or partially backfilled, but not in a systematic way. The collapse of a mine causes deconsolidation of the upper levels of the overburden. These mechanisms can cause two types of disorders on the surface: subsidence or sinkhole. Subsidence and sinkhole can cause severe damage to structures and infrastructures in surface, but also jeopardize the safety of the population.The work of this thesis revolves around the study of rock's bulking, sinkhole and its spread in the overburden. The aims of this thesis are twofold: firstly, to study the bulking of rock during the roofs mine collapse; Secondly, modeling the spread of the sinkhole in the overburden and thus to prioritize the parameters associated with this phenomenon.The first part of this thesis is a bibliographical study which summarizes the methods of exploitation, methods of analysis of stability of underground quarries, methods of prediction of the height of collapse and estimation of the bulking factor. At the end of this bibliographic synthesis, the study focused on shallow underground quarries operated by rooms and pillars. Thus, numerical modeling using the discrete element method (MED) was chosen to analyze the instability of roofs of underground quarries.The second part focuses on the development of a numerical model with the following objectives: on the one hand, the development of a Rock Mass Discretization Program (RMDP) which constitutes the preprocessor of the STTAR3D software and the development of a Code allowing calculation of the bulking factor of the rubble of collapse. On the other hand, implementation of the behavior laws on STTAR3D.The third part consists of determining, on the one hand, the physicals and mechanicals characteristics of samples taken from the quarry of the Brasserie (Paris-France), which was chosen to test the model developed. On the other hand, determining of parameters of the behavior law used for modeling the contacts, namely “” and “μ”.Finally, the last part of this work is made of numerical simulations for which the parameters of the behavior law measured experimentally have been introduced in STTAR3D. In the first numerical study, we investigate the effect of fall height, the radius of the initial opening of the sinkhole and the fracturing degree on the bulking of the rubble, as well as the effect of variation of the bulking on the collapse height and on the subsidence. In a second step, a model of the Brasserie’s mine is realized, the behavior of which is studied by numerical simulation in order to obtain the subsidence on the surface and the collapse height, which are compared with the in-situ observations

Ce travail porte sur l'optimisation de la géométrie de chambre réverbérante en s'inspirant du concept de cavité chaotique. Les chambres réverbérantes (RC) sont de plus en plus utilisées comme moyen de test de compatibilité électromagnétique. Elles sont utilisées au-delà d'une fréquence minimale à parti de laquelle les champs sont, dans le volume central de la cavité, statistiquement homogènes et isotropes ; l'obtention de ces propriétés statistiques nécessite l'utilisation d'un mécanisme de brassage, pouvant être mécanique ou électronique. Or, dans les cavités chaotiques, la plupart des modes sont associés à des champs statistiquement homogènes et isotropes, et ceci sans avoir recours à aucun brassage. C'est pourquoi un rapprochement entre chambres réverbérantes et cavités chaotiques a été fait dans ce travail.En premier lieu, nous nous intéressons à des cavités chaotiques 2D obtenues par des modifications successives d'une cavité rectangulaire. Les mesures effectuées dans ces cavités à l'aide d'une théorie perturbative, validées par des résultats de simulation, montrent qu'un champ électrique homogène est obtenu. Les principes retenus pour modifier la géométrie de la cavité rectangulaire seront repris dans les cavités 3D.Les propriétés de trois cavités 3D obtenues en modifiant une cavité parallélépipédique sont étudiées et comparées à celles d'une chambre réverbérante classique munie d'un brasseur de modes. Les modes propres et fréquences de résonance sont déterminés pour ces quatre cavités à l'aide du logiciel HFSS d'Ansoft, tout d'abord en considérant des cavités de géométrie figée, puis en y incluant un brassage mécanique.L'étude de l'homogénéité et de l'isotropie des modes propres montre clairement que les meilleures performances sont obtenues pour une des cavités chaotiques proposées, et ceci quels que soient les critères utilisés.Par ailleurs, il est montré que, dans la chambre réverbérante classique, un grand nombre de modes présente une forte localisation spatiale de l'énergie électrique, alors que ce phénomène ne se produit pas dans la cavité chaotique retenue. Ce phénomène, non détectable par les mesures classiquement effectuées en chambre réverbérante, est dommageable à l'obtention des propriétés d'homogénéité et d'isotropie requises dans le volume de travail.Enfin, l'étude de la distribution des écarts entre fréquences de résonance montre, comme prédit par la Théorie des Matrices Aléatoire, une concordance entre le suivi de la loi asymptotique prévue dans une cavité chaotique et les propriétés d'homogénéité et d'isotropie des champs. Ceci ouvre la voie vers l'utilisation de critères de caractérisation basés sur les fréquences de résonance et non plus uniquement sur les distributions des champs / This work deals with the optimization of the geometry of a reverberation chamber, drawing inspiration from the concept of chaotic cavity. Reverberation chambers, widely used for electromagnetic compatibility tests, are used above a minimal frequency from which the fields are statistically isotropic and uniform; however to respect these properties, a mode stirring process is necessary, that can be mechanical or electronic. As, in chaotic cavities, most modes are isotropic and uniform without the help of any stirring process, we take advantage of the knowledge gained from the studies of chaotic cavities to optimize reverberation chamber behavior.We firstly consider 2D chaotic cavities obtained by modifying a rectangular cavity. Measurements besed on a perturbative approch, and validated by simulations, show uniformly distributed electric fields. Similar geometrical modifications are then proposed in 3D.Three 3D different geometries of cavities obtained from a 3D rectangular cavity are then studied, and their properties are compared with those of a classical reverberation chamber equipped witdh a mode stirrer. Eigenmodes and resonant frequencies are determined numerically using Ansoft HFSS software, first by considering fixed cavity geometries, then by moving the stirrer.Electric field uniformity and isotropy are studied using several criteria; all of them clearly show that the best performances are attained within one of the proposed chaotic cavities.Moreover, a strong energy localization effect appears for numerous modes in the classical reverberation chamber, whereas it is not observed in the proposed 3D chaotic cavity. This effect, never reported in reverberation chamber studies, affects the field uniformity and isotropy within the working volume.The cavities properties are also compared width respect to their eigenfrequency spacing distributions. As predicted by the Random matrix Theory, the best agrement width the asymptotic law associated to chaotic cavities corresponds to the best field properties in terms of uniformity and isotropy. It leads to the proposal of reverberation chamber characterization criteria based on resonant frequencies instead of field distributions

Para isso se utilizou os métodos originados da Análise de Fluxo de Energia (EFA) que têm como variáveis primárias a densidade de energia e fluxo de energia. Duas formulações foram usadas para resolver as equações diferenciais de energia aproximada derivada do EFA: o Método dos Elementos Finitos de Energia (EFEM) e o Método do Elemento Espectral de Energia (ESEM). O Método do Elemento Espectral (SEM) foi outra formulação estudada para resolver as equações diferenciais de propagações de ondas em cavidades acústicas unidimensionais, bem como para validar a metodologia proposta. Diferentes tipos de cavidades acústicas unidimensionais foram investigadas e implementas tais como: guia de onda simples, guia de onda com descontinuidade geométrica e guia de onda com descontinuidade das propriedades médias. Para isso, desenvolveu-se relações de acoplamento que descrevem essas descontinuidades acústicas. Um exemplo simulado envolvendo uma cavidade acústica retangular fechada é analisado com ESEM e os resultados são comparados com aqueles obtidos pelo EFA, EFEM e a Solução Analítica Acústica (SAA) da equação forçada de Helmholtz para cavidades retangulares bidimensionais fechadas. Uma investigação experimental do comportamento acústico de uma cavidade acústica bidimensional fechada foi realizada para verificar e validar os resultados do ESEM. De maneira geral, se observou que os resultados obtidos pelos modelos simulados apresentaram um comportamento semelhante ao resultado encontrado experimentalmente / Abstract: In this research, propagation phenomena of acoustic waves in one-dimensional and two-dimensional cavities is investigated and a methodology, based on energy methods, is proposed to predict acoustic response of these structures, at mid and high frequencies. These methods, originated from Energy Flow Analysis, use as primary variables the energy density and the energy flow. Two methodologies are used to solve approximated energy differential equations derived from EFA: Energy Finite Element Method (EFEM) and Energy Spectral Element Method (ESEM). The Spectral Element Method (SEM), is used to solve the wave propagation differential equations of acoustic in one-dimensional cavities, moreover this method is applied to validate the proposed methodology. Different acoustics cavities were investigated, such as simple waveguide, waveguide with geometric discontinuity and waveguide with discontinuity of the average properties. To this purpose, coupling relationships that represent those discontinuities are developed. A simulated example involving a closed rectangular acoustic cavity is analyzed with ESEM and the results are compared with those obtained by EFA, the Energy Finite Element Method (EFEM) and the acoustic analytical solution (SAA) of forced Helmholtz equation for rectangular two-dimensional closed cavities. An experimental investigation of acoustic response of a closed two-dimensional acoustic cavity was performed to verify the results of ESEM. The simulated models results, calculated in terms of energy variables, to analyze cavity, showed a good agreement with the experimental result / Doutorado / Mecanica dos Sólidos e Projeto Mecanico / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
