As obras de engenharia atuais envolvem unidades estruturais de grande porte cujo projeto e execução devem ser cuidadosamente observados. Devido à complexidade das cargas e solicitações estruturais, as metodologias de projeto devem atender a necessidades específicas. A variabilidade geotécnica associada à diversidade de carregamentos, impõe a necessidade de desenvolvimento de metodologias aplicadas especificamente a projetos de fundações que serão sujeitas a carregamentos laterais, tais como pontes, obras portuárias, torres de linhas de transmissão, aerogeradores (onshore e offshore) e plataformas (offshore e nearshore) de exploração de petróleo e gás natural. Existem alguns métodos relatados na literatura geotécnica para projeto de fundações submetidas a esforços horizontais. Nenhum destes métodos considera uma solução baseada no simples reforço, através de técnicas de cimentação, dos solos na sua camada superficial, radial à estaca. Dessa forma, procura-se na presente pesquisa estudar o comportamento de fundações profundas com reforço do solo na sua camada superficial, sujeitas a carregamentos horizontais. São apresentadas diretrizes de projeto, estabelecendo-se ainda um modelo de previsão da capacidade de carga de fundações profundas submetidas a este tipo de carregamentos. Ensaios em campo experimental e simulações numéricas tridimensionais, usando o Método dos Elementos Finitos foram realizados, por forma a se obter uma melhor compreensão do comportamento de estacas carregadas lateralmente. Considerando o diâmetro da estaca (D) e a sua profundidade (L), no campo experimental, foram definidas razões L/D representando o comportamento de estacas rígidas e flexíveis. Diversos ensaios de carregamento horizontal foram realizados para estas relações L/D, em solo natural e com solo melhorado radial às estacas. As análises numéricas consistiram numa análise paramétrica onde foram variados parâmetros geométricos (da estaca e do solo tratado) e geotécnicos, necessários à caracterização dos materiais no modelo utilizado, o de Mohr-Coulomb. O modelo de previsão proposto foi obtido com base na análise dos resultados de simulações numéricas usando o software ABAQUS®, validados com provas de cargas no campo experimental. É também de salientar que nesta pesquisa apenas será considerada a ruptura geotécnica, pelo que é assumido que as estacas têm comportamento elástico. Do estudo realizado pode-se concluir que o uso de uma camada superficial de solo tratado radial à estaca melhora significativamente o desempenho do sistema, aumentando a sua capacidade de carga e diminuindo a sua deformação, mostrando ser uma ótima e promissora alternativa para fundações profundas sujeitas a carregamentos horizontais. / Current engineering works typically envolve large structural units whose design and implementation should be closely observed. Due to the complexity of the loads and structural needs, the design methodologies should comply specific requirements. The geotechnical variability combined with the loads diversity imposes the need to develop methodologies applied specifically to projects whose foundations will be laterally loaded, like bridges, harbors, transmission line towers, onshore and offshore wind turbines, among others. There are several methods reported in geotechnical literature to design piles that will be subjected to horizontal loads. However, none of these methods consider a solution based on a simple soil reinforcement using cementation techniques, in a superficial layer, radial to pile. The main goal of this research is to study the behavior of deep foundations with a reinforced soil system, subjected to lateral loads. Design guidelines are presented, leading to a model that predicts the ultimate load capacity of deep foundations subjected to these types of efforts. Field tests and tridimensional numerical simulations using the Finite Element Method were performed in order to achieve a better understanding of the behaviour of laterally loaded piles. Considering the pile diameter (D) and its depth (L), different L/D ratio were defined, corresponding to rigid and flexible piles. Using these L/D ratios, in both natural and reinforced soils, numerical and field tests were performed to provide experimental evidences of its behaviour. Numerical tests consisted in a parametric analysis where different geometric (pile and treated soil) and geotechnical parameters, necessaries to the Mohr-Coulomb model, have been modified. The proposed prediction model is based on the analysis of the numerical simulations results, using ABAQUS® software, validated with the field tests. It is important to point that in this study only geotechnical rupture is considered. Therefore it is assumed that piles have elastic behaviour. Has been concluded that the use of a superficial treated layer, radial to pile, considerably improves the system performance, increasing the lateral load capacity and decreasing their deformation, showing that this technique could be a promising solution to deep foundations subjected to horizontal loads.

O nível de cascalheira foi estudado de forma amostral, através de microescavações de detalhe associadas às análises tafonômicas, granulométricas, de difratometria e fluorescência de raios X, datação por C-14 e isótopos do carbono da matéria orgânica do solo, enquanto para o nível arenoso foram realizadas análises granulométricas e a difratometria de raios X. Os resultados das análises do presente estudo, integrados aos dados de pesquisas anteriores, permitiram contextualizar os vestígios arqueológicos e paleontológicos encontrados nos níveis mais antigos da Lagoa, verificar os tipos de fossilização, demonstrar a coexistência dos grupos humanos com a paleofauna, há pelos menos 18 mil anos AP no Nordeste do Brasil e obter dados sobre o processo de instalação de um clima semiárido na região. / This research is a geoarchaeologycal study about Lagoa Uri de Cima, situated in Salgueiro county, state of Pernambuco. The methodological approach was built through three scales of analysis: the macro scale, represented by the lagoon environment, the meso scale composed by the stratigraphy sequence of the sediments that filled the pond, with ages since 34,600 ± 690 years BP until 3500 ± 360 years BP and, the micro scale formed specifically by the two deepest layers of the lagoon, the gravel layer cemented by carbonate concretion, which formed a calcrete and the sandy layer deposited above the gravel. The gravel layer was studied through the microdetailed excavation in laboratory of the concretion samples associated with taphonomical analysis, granolometric analysis of the sediments, diffraction and fluorescence of X- rays, C-14 dating and carbon isotopes of the soil organic material analysis, while for the sandy layer were conducted granolometric analysis of the sediments and the diffraction and fluorescence of X- rays. The results of this studies were integrated with previous survey data, that allowed contextualize the archaeological and paleontological remains that were found in the earliest sediments layers of the pond and also know the fossilization process, demonstrate coexistence between the human groups with paleofauna, at least 18,000 years BP and obtain data about the process of semi-arid climate installation in the region northeastern of Brazil.

Dans l'industrie du forage pétrolier, les conditions de travail de plus en plus sévères requièrent sans cesse de nouveaux outils plus résistants à l'usure abrasive et à l'impact. Afin de répondre à ce défi, les travaux présentés ici, ont pour but l'élaboration de matériaux en carbure cémenté à gradient de composition par le procédé d'imbibition réactive. Ce procédé peut être décomposé en deux procédés de gradation, à savoir : l'imbibition et le revêtement réactif. L'imbibition a pour rôle d'enrichir graduellement, en phase liante, le coeur d'une pièce en carbure cémenté dense et repose sur le principe de migration de phase liquide dans un corps solide-liquide. Le revêtement réactif est un procédé qui s'applique également sur un carbure cémenté dense sur lequel est déposé un revêtement de nitrure de bore. Après avoir atteint le liquidus de la phase liante du carbure cémenté, une précipitation de borures ternaires prend place à la surface du matériau et s'étend graduellement sur des distances millimétriques. Dans le cas de pièces industrielles (inserts tricône et supports de taillants PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact)), le traitement d'imbibition réactive permet de générer des gradients de dureté pouvant atteindre 450 HV sur 25 mm. L'élaboration de tels gradients a nécessité une meilleure compréhension des cinétiques ainsi que des phénomènes mis en jeu durant l'imbibition et le revêtement réactif. Dans le cas des taillants PDC, l'influence des paramètres du procédé HPHT de synthèse de la plaquette diamantée, sur le gradient de composition présent dans le support WC-Co après imbibition réactive, a été étudiée. Ces travaux se sont également intéressés à l'effet de ces gradients de composition sur les propriétés des plaquettes diamantées ainsi obtenues. A la suite d'essais mécaniques, les inserts WC-Co et taillants PDC gradués montrent une augmentation significative de leur résistance à l'abrasion (de 30 à 100%) et de leur tenue à l'impact (de 20 à 40%). / In oil drilling industry, harsher working conditions require ever new and more abrasive wear and impact resistant tools. To meet this challenge, the work presented here, is to develop graded cemented carbide materials by reactive imbibition process. This method can be divided into two gradation processes, namely, reactive coating and imbibition. Imbibition gradually enriches the core of dense cemented carbide with binder phase and is based on the principle of liquid phase migration in a solid-liquid body. Reactive coating also takes place in dense cemented carbide on which a boron nitride coating is deposited. After reaction with the WC-Co liquid binder, some ternary boride precipitations take place from surface to several millimeters deep. For industrial parts (inserts for roller cone bits and PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) cutters substrates), hardness gradients obtained can reach 450 HV on 25 mm. Such gradients development is passed through a better understanding of kinetics and phenomena occurring during imbibition and reactive coating. In case of PDC cutters, influence of HPHT process parameters, allowing diamond table synthesis, on the WC-Co substrate gradient, generated by reactive imbibition, was studied. This work was also interested in gradient effect on the obtained diamond tables properties. After mechanical tests, graded WC-Co inserts and graded PDC cutters show a significant increase of both wear resistance (from 30 to 100%) and impact resistance (from 20 to 40%).

The development of alternative binder systems for tungsten carbide (WC) based cemented carbides has again become of relevance due to possible changes in EU regulations regarding the use of Cobalt (Co). A framework for the ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) based Materials Design is presented to accelerate the development of alternative binder systems. Part one of this work deals with the design of the cemented carbide composite hardness. It has been shown that the intrinsic binder hardness is comparable to a bulk metal alloy and that based on the binder solubilities a solid solution strengthening model developed in this work can be employed. Using a method presented in this work the non-equilibrium, frozen-in binder solubilities can be obtained. Both the design of the binder phase and composite hardness is presented based on a general Materials Design approach. Part two deals with a multiscale approach to model the surface gradient formation. The experimentally missing data on liquid binder diffusion has been calculated using AIMD (Ab initio Molecular Dynamics). The diffusion through the liquid cemented carbide binder has to be reduced to an effective diffusion value due to the solid carbides acting as obstacles that increase the diffusion path. The geometrical reduction of the diffusion has been investigated experimentally using the SIMS (secondary ion mass spectroscopy) technique in WC-Nickel-58Nickel diffusion couples. The geometrical contribution of the so-called labyrinth factor has been proven by the combination of the experiments and in conjunction with DICTRA simulations using the precise liquid AIMD diffusivities. Unfortunately, despite the improved kinetic database and the geometrical diffusion reduction, the surface gradient formation cannot be explained satisfactory in complex cemented carbide grades. Additional, but so far unidentified, contributions have to be considered to predict the surface gradient thickness. / <p>QC 20170919</p>

Les matrices en carbure de Tungstène et Cobalt (WC‐Co) sont utilisées dans les procédés de frappe à froid de l’acier pour leur exceptionnelle capacité à résister aux phénomènes d’usure. Ces travaux ont pour objectif de mieux comprendre les mécanismes complexes qui entrainent finalement la dérive des matrices vers l’état usé. Cette complexité vient des liens étroits entre la microstructure et les propriétés mécaniques macroscopiques de ces matériaux. Pour la compréhension des mécanismes de dérive vers l’usure, une stratégie de travail en quatre étapes est établie. La première étape est le prélèvement de matrices de frappe, avec différentes durées de vie, directement sur la chaîne de production. La deuxième étape est l’identification de la rhéologie. Elle s’accompagne de la modélisation numérique du procédé de frappe pour calculer le champ des contraintes et des déformations plastiques. La troisième étape est la caractérisation localisée de l’évolution de la surface selon trois axes : les propriétés tribologiques, morphologiques, et mécaniques. On quantifie ainsi la dégradation progressive des conditions de contact corrélée avec une fragilisation des surfaces et la décohésion de grains de carbures WC. Pour comprendre les mécanismes qui conduisent à la décohésion de grains, une stratégie de modélisation numérique à l'échelle mésomécaniques 2D est mise en place. L’énergie de rupture entre un grain et le reste du matériau est modélisée par des éléments cohésifs. Ces modèles montrent que la sensibilité de chaque grain à l’arrachement dépend non seulement des conditions de contact et de la ténacité du matériau, mais également de la taille et de la configuration du grain au voisinage de la surface. / Tungsten carbide and Cobalt (WC‐Co) dies are used for cold forming processes of steel because of their exceptional performances in resisting wear phenomena. This work aims to a better understanding of the complex damage mechanisms that eventually cause wear. This complexity comes from the existing relationships between their microstructure and their macroscopic mechanical properties. For a better understanding of the damage mechanisms leading towards wear, a four‐step strategy is presented. The first step is the cold heading dies sampling directly on the production line. They are collected at different lifetimes. The second step is the identification of the die rheology. It is followed by numerical modeling of the forging process to calculate the stress field and plastic strain magnitude. The third step is to characterize the local evolution of the surface properties along three axes: the tribological, the morphological and mechanical aspects. These analyses quantify the progressive decrease of contact conditions correlated with surface embrittlement and WC carbide grains debonding. To understand the mechanisms that lead to the grains debonding, a set of 2D mesoscale contact models are performed. The fracture energy between a WC grain and the rest of the material is computed using cohesive elements. These models show that the sensitivity to debonding depends not only on the contact conditions and the material fracture toughness, but also on the grain size and grain configuration in the vicinity of the surface.
