Cartas arqueológicas para a cidade de São Paulo: estabelecimento de modelo de potencial para a preservação de bens arqueológicos / Archeological maps to the city of São Paulo: establishing a pontential model for the preservation of archaeologicalMangueira, Renato Silva 14 September 2018 (has links)
As metrópoles contemporâneas se apresentam como os maiores sítios já produzidos pela humanidade. Espaços de complexas, dinâmicas e constantes transformações, sua análise se apresenta como um grande desafio. Que, por sua vez, é ainda maior quando relacionado a atividades de identificação, preservação e avaliação de significância e valor arqueológico. Desta forma, tendo o centro urbanizado antigo da cidade de São Paulo e seu entorno próximo (atuais distritos Sé, República, Luz, Mooca e Brás) como objeto de análise, e sob a perspectiva dos conceitos teóricos provenientes da Arqueologia Urbana da, para e com a cidade, da Arqueologia da Paisagem e da Geomorfologia Antropogênica, o presente trabalho analisa diversos modelos, métodos e técnicas locacionais preditivos e propõe um modelo de potencial arqueológico para a área analisada. Como resultado, é produzida a carta arqueológica que apresenta a paisagem da área analisada com os principais componentes vinculados aos diversos contextos de ocupação e formação do sítio urbano. E, assim, espera-se que ela subsidie futuras análises de potencial arqueológico, conforme os pressupostos do modelo proposto, e avaliações de interesse e valor arqueológico que possam vir a ser estabelecidas com a cidade. / Contemporary metropolises can be understood as the largest sites ever produced by humanity. The analysis of such a kind of territory, with its complex, dynamic and constant transformations, is a challenge. And this challenge can be especially difficult when identifying, preserving and assessing archeological value. The present dissertation analyses several locational predictive models, methods and techniques and propose a predictive model for archeological potential in the area studied: the old urbanized São Paulo city center and its surroundings (Se, Republica, Luz, Mooca e Bras districts). The theoretical framework adopted to study the area were the theoretical concepts provided by the Urban Archeology, Landscape Archeology and Anthropogenic Geomorphology fields. The result is an archeological map showing the landscape of the study area pointing to the main components related to this urban site\'s several occupation and formation contexts. It is expected that this map could provide subsides for future archeological potential analyses (according to the assumptions of the proposed model) and also for assessments of archeological interest and value to be stablished with the city.

Precipitate Growth and Coarsening in Ternary AlloysBhaskar, Mithipati Siva January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
We have studied precipitate growth and coarsening in ternary alloys using two different phase held models.
The first one is a ternary extension of the classical Cahn-Hilliard (C-H) model in which both the phases are characterized using conserved held variables i.e. composition (cB; cC ); mobility matrix and gradient energy efficient are the other input parameters in this model. In the second model, each phase is treated as separate, and phase identify cation is through a (non-conserved) phase held variable ; we have used a grand potential-based (GP) formulation, due to Plapp [1], Choudhury and Nestler [2], where interfacial energy and interface width, as well as free energy and diffusivity matrix for the relevant phases are the input parameters.
The first model i.e. the Cahn-Hilliard (C-H) type model is conceptually simple. The model for ternary is a straight forward extension of the binary. The grand potential (GP) formulation has the advantage of being able to incorporate thermodynamic database like Thermocalc in it.
We present below a summary of the findings of our research on (a) precipitate growth, precipitate coarsening, and (c) a critical comparison between results from phase held simulations and those from experiments on an Ni-Al-Mo alloy
Precipitate growth
In our study of precipitate growth in ternary alloys, we end that when both the solute elements have the same diffusivity, precipitate growth behaviour in ternary alloys is identical to that binary alloys; specifically, we recover the temporal power law r2 = kgt relating the particle radius to time, and the growth kg depends only on supersaturation (i.e., equilibrium volume fraction of the precipitate phase), and is independent of the slope of the tie line.
However, when one solute element, (say, C) di uses slower than the other (i.e. (DCC =DBB) < 1,(where DBB, DCC are intertie suavities’ in the lab frame of reference), the ux of C at the interface is smaller than that of species B, causing the precipitate to become depleted in C and enriched in B; this process continues until the growth phase enters a scaling regime where we recover the temporal law for growth: r2 = kgt. In this regime, the tie line selected by the precipitate and matrix interfacial compositions is different from the thermodynamic tie line containing the alloy, a result first reported by Coates [3].
After validating our phase held model quantitatively through a critical comparison with Coates' theory of tie line selection, we have characterized the growth behaviour: specifically, we end that growth kg drops with decreasing value of DCC ; the magnitude of this drop is stronger for alloys which (a) are on higher-C tie lines (i.e., the slope of the tie line is higher), and (b) have smaller precipitate volume fractions.
Precipitate coarsening
In our simulations, we end that precipitate coarsening does indeed enter a scaling regime where the temporal power law r3 = kt (which relates the average precipitate radius r to
(b) time t) is valid; the coarsening rate k depends, as expected, not only on precipitate volume fraction, but also on the slope of the tie line and diffusivity ratio (DCC =DBB).
(c)
(d) When the solutes have equal diffusivity (i.e., (DCC =DBB) = 1), the coarsening behaviour is essentially the same as that in a binary alloy. However, when solute C (say) is the slower di using species, the coarsening rate k drops, with a deeper drop in alloys on higher-C tie lines. Both these conclusions are similar to those from our study of precipitate growth.
(e)
(f) However, there is a crucial difference between precipitate growth and coarsening in ternary alloys: The suppression in coarsening rate (for DCC < DBB) in ternary alloys is accompanied by another e ect: larger (and growing) precipitates are richer in the faster di using species B, while the smaller and shrinking precipitates are richer in the slower di using C. In other words, during coarsening in ternary alloys, the tie line selected by precipitate and matrix interfacial components depends on precipitate size; during growth, however, the scaling regime is characterized by the same tie line, independent of precipitate size.

(i) Critical comparison between theory and experiment
(j)
(k)
(l) We have used the grand potential based phase held model [1] [2] to study coarsening in Ni-Al-Mo alloys. This model has the advantage of ease with which we can incorporate the thermodynamic and kinetic data on real alloys.
(m)
(n) A comparison of coarsening rate from our 3D simulations with the experimentally observed rate reveals that diffusivity of the faster di using species (which, in Ni-Al-Mo alloys, is aluminium) from our simulations is within an order of magnitude from the experimental value. However the dominant term in the (@ =@c) matrix is underestimated by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude (compared to its value computed from CALPHAD-based thermodynamic data).

Influences of temperature, fatigue and mixed mode loading on the cohesive properties of adhesive layersWalander, Tomas January 2015 (has links)
This thesis concerns some aspects that have influence on the strength of adhesive layers. The strength is determined by the stress deformation-relation of the layer. This relation is also referred to as cohesive law. The aspects having influence on the cohesive laws that are studied in this work are temperature, fatigue, multi-axial fatigue and mixed mode loading. For each aspect, a model is developed that can be used to describe the influence of the aspects on the cohesive laws numerically, e.g. by using the finite element method. These models are shown to give good agreement with the experimental results when performing simulations that aims at reproducing the experiments. For the aspect of temperature, a FE-model is suggested that can be used to simulate the mechanical behaviour in pure mode loadings at any temperature within the evaluated temperature span. Also, a damage law for modelling high cycle fatigue in a bonded structure in multi-axial loading is presented. Lastly, a new experimental set-up is presented for evaluating strength of adhesives during mixed mode loading. The set-up enables loading with a constant mode-mix ratio and by the experimental results, a potential model for describing the mechanical behaviour of the evaluated adhesive is presented.

Determination of Phase Equilibria and the Critical Point Using Two-Phase Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Monte Carlo SamplingPatel, Sonal 15 June 2012 (has links) (PDF)
The two-phase MD technique employed in this work determines the liquid and vapor phase densities from a histogram of molecular densities within phase clusters in the simulation cell using a new Monte Carlo (MC) sampling method. These equilibrium densities are then fitted in conjunction with known critical-point scaling laws to obtain the critical temperature, and the critical density. This MC post-processing method was found to be more easily implemented in code, and it is efficient and easily applied to complex, structured molecules. This method has been successfully applied and benchmarked for a simple Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid and a structured molecule, propane. Various degrees of internal flexibility in the propane models showed little effect on the coexisting densities far from critical point, but internal flexibility (angle bending and bond vibrations) seemed to affect the saturated liquid densities in the near-critical region, changing the critical temperature by approximately 20 K. Shorter cutoffs were also found to affect the phase dome and the location of the critical point. The developed MD+MC method was then used to test the efficacy of two all-atom, site-site pair potential models (with and without point charges) developed solely from the energy landscape obtained from high-level ab initio pair interactions for the first time. Both models produced equivalent phase domes and critical loci. The model's critical temperature for methanol is 77 K too high while that for 1-propanol is 80 K too low, but the critical densities are in good agreement. These differences are likely attributable to the lack of multi-body interactions in the true pair potential models used here. Lastly, the transferability of the ab initio potential model was evaluated by applying it to 1-pentanol. An attempt has been made to separate the errors due to transferability of the potential model from errors due to the use of a true-pair potential. The results suggested a good level of transferability for the site-site model. The lack of multi-body effects appears to be dominant weakness in using the generalized ab initio potential model for determination of the phase dome and critical properties of larger alcohols.

Étude de dispositifs électroniques moléculaires à l’aide de la méthode du potentiel source-puitsGiguère, Alexandre 11 1900 (has links)
Les travaux de la présente thèse porteront sur le raffinement du modèle du potentiel source-puits (SSP) proposé par Ernzerhof en 2006. Cette méthode permet de calculer la conductance qualitative de dispositifs électroniques moléculaires (MEDs). Dans la première partie de ce travail, le modèle SSP sera amélioré en y intégrant la description de l’interaction d’un champ électromagnétique fort avec le MED. Des expériences récentes ont démontré que des molécules pouvaient interagir fortement avec des plasmons de polaritons de surface (SPP). Ces interactions créent des états liés électron-SPP qui seront exploités pour contrôler la conductance de MEDs. Des formules analytiques expliqueront l’impact des paramètres physiques de ces circuits optoélectroniques sur la conductance de ceux-ci. Dans le même esprit, la seconde partie de cette thèse inclura les interactions électron-noyau au modèle SSP afin de décrire entre autres le courant décohérent d’un MED. Dans ce modèle les interactions noyau-électron seront décrites à partir de l’approximation harmonique et intégrées à l’hamiltonien de façon non-pertubative. Des formules analytiques seront dérivées afin de décrire la conductance de tels MEDs. Finalement, les conséquences du bris de la symétrie de la parité et du temps de la matrice hamiltonienne de la méthode SSP seront découvertes dans la densité spectrale et les fonctions d’ondes des MEDs. / The purpose of this thesis is to expand the scope of the source-sink potential (SSP) method originally proposed by Ernzerhof in 2006. The SSP model allows the computation of the qualitative conductance of molecular electronics devices (MEDs). In the first part of this work, the SSP model will be improved by including the description of interaction between the strong electromagnetic field and the MED. Recent experiments have shown that molecules could strongly interact with surface plasmon of polaritons (SPPs). These interactions will create so-called dressed states that can be used to control the conductance of MEDs. In the second part of this work, the SSP model will be augmented by including electron-nucleus interactions to describe the inelastic current. In this model, the electron-nuclueus interaction will be account for with the help of the harmonic approximation and incorporated into the hamiltonian non-pertubatively. Analytical formulas will be derived that will allow one to understand the impact of physical parameters on the conductance of MEDs. Lastly, the impact of the parity and time symmetry breaking of the SSP matrix hamiltonian will be studied and related to change in the spectral density and in the eigenfunctions of the MEDs.
