A metodologia proposta baseia-se no teorema da m?nima energia potencial, escrita em rela??o as posi??es nodais ao inv?s dos deslocamentos para lidar com problemas termomec?nicos, levando-se em considera??o os efeitos das n?o linearidades f?sica e geom?trica. Referente aos problemas din?micos, a solu??o da equa??o de equil?brio ? alcan?ada atrav?s da discretiza??o temporal perante diferentes algoritmos de integra??o temporal, expl?citos e impl?citos. A formula??o ? estendida para problemas de impacto entre treli?as e anteparo r?gido, onde as posi??es nodais s?o restringidas atrav?s da condi??o de penetra??o nula. Sendo assim, apresenta-se uma formula??o termodinamicamente consistente, fundamentada na primeira e segunda lei da termodin?mica e na energia livre de Helmholtz, para analisar problemas din?micos de estruturas treli?adas com comportamento termoel?stico e termopl?stico. A implementa??o dos problemas consiste no desenvolvimento de rotinas computacionais, sendo os resultados num?ricos da formula??o proposta confrontados com exemplos encontrados na literatura especializada. / This work presents the numerical analysis of nonlinear trusses summited to thermomechanical actions with Finite Element Method (FEM). The proposed formulation is so-called positional FEM and it is based on the minimum potential energy theorem written according to nodal positions, instead of displacements. The study herein presented considers the effects of geometric and material nonlinearities. Related to dynamic problems, a comparison between different time integration algorithms is performed. The formulation is extended to impact problems between trusses and rigid wall, where the nodal positions are constrained considering nullpenetration condition. In addition, it is presented a thermodynamically consistent formulation, based on the first and second law of thermodynamics and the Helmholtz free-energy for analyzing dynamic problems of truss structures with thermoelastic and thermoplastic behavior. The numerical results of the proposed formulation are compared with examples found in the literature.

Canceling, or even preventing such oscillations, would save up to large amount of dollars. Studies have identified that one of the causes of these oscillations are the nonlinearities present on industrial process actuators. This study has the objective to develop a methodology for removal of the harmful effects of nonlinearities. Will be proposed an parameter estimation method to Hammerstein model, whose nonlinearity is represented by dead-zone or backlash. The estimated parameters will be used to construct inverse models of compensation. A simulated level system was used as a test platform. The valve that controls inflow has a nonlinearity. Results and describing function analysis show an improvement on system response / As oscila??es presentes nas malhas de controle podem causar preju?zos ? ind?stria petroqu?mica. Anular, ou at? mesmo amenizar tais oscila??es, acarretaria em uma grande economia. Estudos identificaram que um dos causadores destas oscila??es s?o as n?o linearidades presentes nos atuadores dos processos industriais. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma metodologia para cancelamento dos efeitos nocivos destas n?o linearidades. Ser? proposto um m?todo de estima??o de par?metros para o modelo de Hammerstein, cuja n?o linearidade ? representada pela zona-morta ou pela folga. Os par?metros estimados ser?o usados na constru??o de modelos inversos de compensa??o. Utilizou-se um sistema de n?vel simulado como plataforma de testes, o qual possui uma v?lvula de controle de fluxo da vaz?o de entrada com uma n?o linearidade associada. Resultados e a an?lise por fun??o descritiva mostram a melhoria do comportamento da sa?da do processo

The positional formulation presents an alternative approach for nonlinear problems. This formulation considers nodal positions as variables of the nonlinear system instead of displacements (widely found in literature). The work also describes the arc-length method used for tracing equilibrium paths with snap-through and snap-back. Numerical applications for trusses already established in the literature and comparisons with other studies are provided to prove the accuracy of the proposed formulation / Este trabalho apresenta a formula??o posicional n?o linear geom?trica para treli?as usando diferentes medidas de deforma??o. A formula??o posicional ? uma abordagem alternativa para problemas n?o lineares. Essa formula??o considera as posi??es nodais como vari?veis do sistema n?o linear em vez dos deslocamentos (que ? largamente utilizado na literatura). O trabalho tamb?m descreve o m?todo do comprimento de arco, usado para tra?ar caminhos de equil?brio com snap-through e snap-back. Aplica??es num?ricas com treli?as j? consagradas na literatura e compara??es com outros trabalhos s?o fornecidos para provar a acur?cia da formula??o proposta
