Lubrificantes são produtos gasosos, líquidos, semi sólidos ou sólidos (pó) que formam um filme entre duas partes evitando o atrito. Lubrificantes de alto desempenho são designados para trabalharem em condições severas de temperatura, pressão e contaminação. Os mais utilizados são os líquidos (óleos) e semi sólidos (graxas). As graxas são aplicadas aonde o óleo pode escorrer e em pontos de difícil acesso e são divididas basicamente em duas classes, sabão e não sabão. A graxa não sabão mais utilizada é a poliuréia, obtida pela reação entre aminas e isocianato, possui elevada tixotropia, alta rigidez dielétrica e excelente poder anticorrosivo, por isso é amplamente utilizada para lubrificação de motores elétricos e maquinário naval. Para obter uma graxa com altíssimo desempenho, nesse estudo foi utilizado o fluido lubrificante sintético polialfaolefina e também foi empregado o aditivo lubrificante sólido politetrafluoroetileno (PTFE) por apresentar o menor coeficiente de atrito conhecido, é comercialmente encontrado irradiado em ar para obter partículas menores e produzir grupos terminais oxigenados que são mais compatíveis com a superfície metálica. Os ensaios foram realizados de forma comparativa usando a graxa de poliuréia pura e aditivada com PTFE. As caracterizações foram feitas por espectroscopia de infravermelho, análise elementar de C, N, e H e índice de NCO livre, comprovando a formação de poliuréia de quatro carbonos (tetrauréia). As propriedades funcionais de ponto de gota e separação de óleo mostraram alta compatibilidade e estabilidade entre os polímeros, que aumentaram quando foi adicionado PTFE. A excelente resistência da graxa de tetrauréia pura ao desgaste e extrema pressão foram demonstradas pelo teste de quatro esferas e teste prático em rolamentos, caracterizando esta graxa como de alto desempenho quando comparada com as graxas mais utilizadas no mercado. / Lubricants are gaseous, liquid, semi solid or solid (powder) materials those form a film between two parties preventing friction. High performance lubricants are designed to work under severe conditions of temperature, pressure, and contamination. The most used are liquids (oils) and semi solids (greases). Greases are applied where oils can drain or in inaccessible places and are divided generally into two classes, soap and no soap. The most used non soap grease is polyurea, obtained by the reaction between amine and isocyanate, has highly thixotropic, high dielectric strength and excellent anticorrosive property, so it is widely used for lubrication of electric motors and shipbuilding machinery. For a grease with high performance, in this study was used a synthetic lubricant fluid, polyalphaolefin, and was also employed solid lubricant additive polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) due its lowest coefficient of friction, is found commercially irradiated in air to obtain smaller particles and to produce oxygenated terminal groups those are more compatible with the metal surface. The tests conducted were comparatively between pure polyurea grease and with PTFE additive. The characterizations were made by infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis of C, N and H and Free NCO index, proving the formation of four carbons polyurea (tetraurea). The functional analysis of drop point and oil separation showed high stability and compatibility between the polymers increased when PTFE was added. The excellent resistance of pure tetraurea grease to wear and extreme pressure were demonstrated by four-ball and practical bearings tests, characterizing this grease as a high performance lubricant, when compared to most used greases in the market.

From the information acquired, were defined the parameters for production of bodies of test, plates obtained through controlled expansion, with the final volume fixed. Initially, the plates were subjected to thermal performance tests and evaluated the temperature profiles, to later be extracted samples duly prepared in accordance with the conditions required for each test. Was proceeded then the measurement of the coefficient of thermal conductivity, volumetric capacity heat and thermal diffusivity. The findings values were compared with the results obtained in the tests of thermal performance, contributing to validation of the same. Ultimately, it was investigated the influence that changes in physical-chemical structure of the material had exerted on the variation of thermophysical quantities through gas pycnometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF), infrared spectroscopy using Fourier transform (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Based on the results obtained was possible to demonstrate that all load percentage analyzed promoted an increase in the potential expansion (PE) of the resin. In production of the plates, the composites with density near at the free expansion presented high contraction during the cure, being the of higher density adopted as definitive standard. In the thermal performance tests, the heating and cooling curves of the different composites had presented symmetry and values very close for lines of the temperature. The results obtained for the thermophysical properties of composites, showed little difference in respect of pure foam. The percentage of open pores and irregularities in the morphology of the composites were proportionate to the increment of vermiculite. In the interaction between the matrix and dispersed phase, there were no chemical transformations in the region of interface and new compounds were not generated. The composites of PUR-NOP and vermiculite presented thermal insulating properties near the foam pure and percentage significantly less plastic in its composition, to the formulation with 10% of load / Neste estudo, foram realizados procedimentos experimentais para determina??o da varia??o da expansibilidade da espuma r?gida de poliuretano (PUR) de um poliol de ?leo natural (NOP), especificamente o de mamona, Ricinus communis, puro e acrescido de vermiculita na fase dispersa, em distintos percentuais, dentro de uma faixa de 0% a 20%, de substitui??o em massa. A partir das informa??es adquiridas, foram definidos os par?metros para produ??o dos corpos de prova, placas obtidas atrav?s de expans?o controlada, com volume final fixo. Inicialmente, as placas foram submetidas a testes de desempenho t?rmico, sendo avaliados os perfis de temperatura, para posteriormente serem extra?das amostras, devidamente preparadas conforme as condi??es exigidas para cada ensaio. Procedeu-se ent?o a medi??o do coeficiente de condutividade t?rmica, capacidade t?rmica volum?trica e difusividade t?rmica. Os valores encontrados foram comparados com os resultados obtidos nos testes de desempenho t?rmico, contribuindo para valida??o dos mesmos. Por fim, foi investigada a influ?ncia que as altera??es na estrutura f?sico-qu?mica do material, exerceram sobre a varia??o das grandezas termof?sicas, por meio de picnometria a g?s, microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) combinada com espectroscopia de fluoresc?ncia de raios-X por energia dispersiva (EDXRF), espectroscopia de infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR), an?lise termogravim?trica (TGA) e an?lise t?rmica diferencial (DTA). Com base nos resultados obtidos foi poss?vel demonstrar que todos os percentuais de carga analisados promoveram um aumento do potencial de expans?o (PE) da resina. Na produ??o das placas, os comp?sitos com densidade pr?xima ? expans?o livre apresentaram grande contra??o na cura, sendo adotados os de maior densidade como padr?o definitivo. Nos ensaios de desempenho t?rmico, as curvas de aquecimento e resfriamento dos diferentes comp?sitos apresentaram simetria e valores muito pr?ximos para as linhas de temperatura. Os resultados obtidos para as propriedades termof?sicas dos comp?sitos, demonstraram pouca diferen?a em rela??o aos da espuma pura. O percentual de poros abertos e irregularidades na morfologia dos comp?sitos foram proporcionais ao incremento da vermiculita. Na intera??o entre matriz e fase dispersa n?o ocorreram transforma??es qu?micas na regi?o de interface e n?o foram gerados novos compostos. Os comp?sitos de PUR-NOP e vermiculita apresentaram propriedades isolantes t?rmicas pr?ximas as da espuma pura e percentual significativamente menor de pl?stico em sua composi??o, para a formula??o com 10% de carga

Parallèlement au pur amour pour Dieu, c’est le rêve d’une pure écriture que Fénelon semble poursuivre lorsqu’il rédige ses œuvres dévotes. Pour le mystique, parvenir à l’amour pur suppose d’anéantir totalement sa volonté pour ne laisser place, en soi, qu’à la volonté de Dieu. De même, pour l’écrivain, la pure expression est celle qui fait parler le « Verbe », tout en faisant taire « le bruit des créatures » (Lettre à la sœur Charlotte de Saint-Cyprien, 10 mars 1696). Nous avons donc mis au jour une analogie entre la recherche d’une écriture idéalement transparente au Verbe et la doctrine du pur amour pour Dieu, par le même effacement du moi. L’enjeu de ce travail de thèse a été d’analyser les phénomènes linguistiques ressortissant à cette analogie, ainsi que leurs présupposés théologiques, philosophiques, et même parfois psychanalytiques. Pour ce faire, notre travail suit la trajectoire stylistique singulière de Fénelon dans ses œuvres dévotes : du paradoxe à la répétition. L’association des deux figures, qui ne va pas de soi à première vue, informe, en effet, une réflexion en acte sur la pure écriture. Si le paradoxe est le moyen d’expression le plus pur pour les poètes baroques et mystiques dont Fénelon a été vu comme un continuateur, il est un procédé ignoré ou condamné par les logiques, rhétoriques et grammaires classiques. En outre, lorsqu’il est brillant et incisif - ce que nous nommons paradoxe rhétorique - le procédé ne satisfait pas le nécessaire effacement du moi requis par le pur amour. C’est pourquoi, la quête de la pure écriture passe de la difficile reprise du paradoxe baroque par le mystique du Grand Siècle à son échappatoire dans la répétition.Dans une première partie, après avoir étudié les différentes définitions du paradoxe selon les temps, les types de paradoxe, les disciplines de référence et selon les théoriciens, nous situons la position de Fénelon en le replaçant dans son contexte historique. Puis nous mettons au jour, dans une seconde partie, l’effort de Fénelon pour parvenir à une pure écriture, effort qui est pris dans une ambiguïté entre condamnation du paradoxe rhétorique comme instrument mondain de langage et expression du paradoxe mystique. Fénelon tente d’atténuer le paradoxe, soit qu’il essaie, en le transformant en pseudo-paradoxe, d’éliminer l’effet de violente surprise qu’il comporte, soit même qu’il cherche à prendre une distance avec le paradoxe mystique en le réduisant par l’abondance des explications, tout en cultivant l’effacement énonciatif. La dernière partie démontre comment cette abondance s’exprime à travers l’usage infiniment développé de la répétition, au sein duquel nous distinguons ce qui vient d’une pulsion de mort et ce qui s’origine dans une pulsion de vie, dans le pur amour d’un Dieu infini, foncièrement équivoque. / Besides pure love for God, Fénelon searches pure writing in his devout works.For the mystic, reaching pure love means to completely annihilate one’s will to leave room wholly to the will of God. Similarly, for the writer, the pure expression is the one that allows God to speak while silencing “the noise of creatures" (Letter to the sister Charlotte of Saint-Cyprien, 10 March 1696). Thus, we underlined the parallel between a writing perfectly transparent to God and the pure love for God, as the same deletion of the self is required in both. The aim of this thesis was to reveal and analyze the linguistic phenomena generated by this parallel between pure love and pure writing, and to review their theological, philosophical, and sometimes psychoanalysis presuppositions.To do so, our study follows the singular stylistic trajectory of Fénelon’s devout works: from paradox to repetition. The combination of the two figures - which is not obvious at first -, informs, indeed, a reflection on pure writing. As a matter of fact, the paradox is the purest expression for baroque and mystic poets among which Fénelon has been seen as a successor. It is, however, a process ignored or condemned by the classical theorists. Furthermore, when it is bright and sharp - what we call rhetorical paradox - the process does not meet the necessary erasing of the self, required by pure love. Therefore, Fénelon’s quest for pure writing moves from the difficult resumption of baroque paradox to his escape in repetition.In the first part, after considering the different definitions of paradox amongst times, types of paradox, fields and theorists, we situate Fénelon in his historical context. Then we study Fénelon’s effort to achieve a pure writing through the use of paradox. This effort lies in an ambiguity between the condemnation of the rhetorical paradox as a mundane instrument of language and the expression of the mystical paradox. Fénelon attempts to mitigate the paradox in two ways. On the one hand, he tries to turn it into a pseudo-paradox, by eliminating his effect of violent surprise. On the other hand, he seeks to distance himself from the mystical paradox by an abundance of explanations. The last part shows how this abundance is expressed through the infinite use of repetition. In that part, we distinguish between the repetition coming from a pulse of death – because of the mystical asceticism, and what was originally a pulse of life - because of the pure love of an infinite God.

This thesis deals with improving thermal properties of contemporary ceramic fittings for external walls using built-in thermal insulation. In the practical part, PUR foam and PUR granulate waste mixes were designed. Based on insulation, mechanical and physical properties and estimated price, the best mix was chosen. Using the chosen mix as integrated isolation, the resulting ceramic block was simulated.

Diploma thesis deals with issue of another possible application of PUR foam in the building, especially during the construction of the masonry structures with the integrated thermal isolator in the low-energy and the passive buildings. The practical part shows the production of the test sample of selected PUR foams and the trials that were performed on the samples. The aim of the thesis was choosing of the PUR foam with the best attributes which would be suitable as an integrated thermal isolator into masonry structures. In the conclusion there was chosen the best foam from which the masonry fragments were made. The static tests were performed on these fragments.

Purpose: This work is based on the problem with the product cross-laminated timber and its properties in the event of fire. The reason for the problem is the glue used in the product and the lack of requirements for adhesion at high temperatures. Due to this, there is a risk of delamination in the event of a fire, i.e. that the wooden slats that constitute the largest component in the CLT wood fall off during the course of the fire and contribute to extra energy. Method: The work is built up of two different methods, first a literature study and then an experiment. The literature study focuses on the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations, the production of cross-laminated timber and what happens in the event of a fire. The experiment was carried out at Fågelbacken in Västerås, where help from the rescue service was available. The informative part of the report begins with a subject reference framework where the first part consists of information about the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's requirements and ordinances that are based on the Planning and Building Act and the Planning and Building Ordinance. This study describes the experiment, everything from the application of the fire protection treatment to the design of the fire test. The materials included in the fire test are described and any certifications they hold are mentioned. The results section presents the results of the literature study and the fire test. Results: The four pieces of wood showed different results after fire, as three out of four showed cracks between the slats on the fire-affected surface. No piece of wood delaminated or had loose slats, however, the cracks are interpreted as meaning that the glue did not withstand the temperature that the fire generated, and melted. The depths of the carbon layer, on the other hand, were significantly protected by the fire protection treatment as there was a maximum difference of 7 mm between one of the fire protection-treated pieces of wood and the untreated piece of wood. The burning time of the fuel pool varied. The course of fire for the pieces that were treated with fire protection was strong with large flames and large, black smoke pillars. Conclusion: The conclusion of the thesis is that the fire protection treatment has a good effect on the depth of the carbon layer, which delays the risk of delamination. The fire protection treatment also has a good effect on the adhesive in some of the cases when no or few cracks between the slats were seen.

L’universitaire bouddhiste japonais Masao Abe attira l’attention dans les années 1980 par des écrits comparants le bouddhisme et le christianisme, notamment les notions de « kénose » du Christ dans le christianisme et de « vacuité » dans le bouddhisme. Dès lors que nous cherchons à évaluer la validité du rapprochement fait par Abe entre « kénose » et « vacuité », il est nécessaire de questionner préalablement la conception qu’il a du concept de « vacuité ». Nous montrons que la compréhension qu’il en a est en relation constante avec la pensée du philosophe bouddhiste indien Nâgârjuna. Cela nous conduit à conclure par la négative quant à cette validité du rapprochement fait par Abe entre « kénose » et « vacuité ». Dans une deuxième partie, nous tentons de relever le défi auquel se mesure Abe de trouver un lieu de rencontre entre christianisme et bouddhisme en continuant à discuter ses écrits sur la question du moi dans la perspective du « pur amour » / The Japanese academic and Buddhist Masao Abe drew the public attention in the 1980s by comparative studies of Buddhism and Christianism, in particular through the notions of "kenosis" of Christ in Christianism and "vacuity" in Buddhism. Since we try to estimate the validity of the link made by Abe between "kenosis" and "vacuity", it is necessary to question beforehand his understanding of the concept of "vacuity". We demonstrate that his understanding of this concept is in constant relation with the thought of the Indian Buddhist philosopher Nâgârjuna. It leads us to consider negatively the validity of the link made by Abe between "kenosis" and "vacuity". In a second part, we try to take up the challenge Abe confronts himself in order to find a meeting place between Christianism and Buddhism by discussing the way he conceives the question of the self from the angle of "pure love"

L’objectif de cette étude est de caractériser expérimentalement la propagation de fissures de fatigue affectée par l’hydrogène (Hydrogen-Affected Fatigue Crack Growth, HAFCG) dans diverses conditions et de clarifier le mécanisme impliqué en se concentrant sur la plasticité en pointe de fissures. Pour cet objectif, dans une première étape, l’influence de l’hydrogène sur la déformation plastique a été étudiée à l’aide d’essais de traction effectués sur un fer commercialement pur, le fer Armco, sous hydrogène gazeux. Les résultats ont montré que l’effet de l’hydrogène sur la propagation des fissures après apparition de la striction est plus important que celui sur la déformation plastique uniforme. Le HAFCG a ensuite été étudié au moyen d’essais de fissuration pour diverses valeurs de l’amplitude de facteur d’intensité de contrainte ΔK, de pression d’hydrogène (PH2 = 3,5 et 35 MPa) et de fréquence de chargement (f = 0,02 - 20 Hz). Il a été révélé que les vitesses de propagation dans un régime à ΔK élevé étaient fortement augmentées par l'hydrogène, jusqu'à 50 fois plus élevé que celles dans l'air. Le mode de rupture est une rupture intergranulaire fragile dans un régime de propagation à faible ΔK, alors qu’on observe une rupture transgranulaire de type quasi-clivage dans un régime à ΔK élevé. La valeur de ΔKtr (valeur de ΔK déclenchant l'augmentation de la vitesse de fissuration) diminue en augmentant la pression PH2. En outre, la vitesse augmente en diminuant la fréquence f. Une fois que la fréquence devient inférieure à une valeur critique, la vitesse de fissuration diminue considérablement jusqu'au même niveau que celle sous azote. La plasticité en pointe de fissure a été analysée à plusieurs échelles par microscopie optique, par mesure de déplacement hors plan et par microscopie électronique à balayage par transmission de la structure de dislocation située immédiatement sous la surface de rupture (FIB/STEM). Aucune modification claire de la zone plastique monotone en pointe de fissure sous hydrogène n’a été observée, alors qu’une réduction drastique de la plasticité cyclique associée à l'augmentation de la vitesse a été identifiée. Sur la base des observations expérimentales, des modèles de mécanisme de fissuration intergranulaire induit par l'hydrogène impliquant la coalescence des micro-vides le long de joints de grain et de mécanisme de fissuration transgranulaire induit par l'hydrogène impliquant un clivage cyclique dû à la réduction de la plasticité en pointe de fissure ont été proposés. Trois critères caractéristiques de fissuration assistée par hydrogène (ΔKtr, gradient d'hydrogène (PH2 × f)1/2 et limite supérieure de vitesse de fissuration) ont été établis. Ces critères devraient être utiles pour améliorer la conception en fatigue et la fiabilité des équipements exposés à l'hydrogène gazeux. / The objective of this study is to experimentally characterize Hydrogen-Affected Fatigue Crack Growth (HAFCG) behavior under various conditions and clarify the mechanism by focusing on crack tip plasticity. For this objective, as a first step, the influence of hydrogen on plastic deformation has been investigated by means of tensile tests in a commercially pure iron, Armco iron, under gaseous hydrogen. The results of the tests pointed out that the hydrogen effect on crack propagation is more important than that on uniform plastic deformation. Then, the HAFCG was investigated by means of FCG tests under various conditions of crack tip stress intensity ΔK, hydrogen gas pressure (PH2 = 3.5 and 35 MPa) and loading frequency (f = 0.02 – 20 Hz). It has been revealed that the FCGRs in a high ΔK regime were highly enhanced by hydrogen up to 50 times higher than the one in air. The fracture mode was a brittle intergranular fracture in a low ΔK regime, while it is a brittle transgranular quasi-cleavage one in a high ΔK regime. The value of ΔKtr (value of ΔK triggering the FCGR enhancement) decreases by increasing the pressure PH2. Besides, the FCGR enhancement increases by decreasing the frequency f. Once f becomes lower than a critical value, the HAFCG rate significantly decreases down to the same level as in nitrogen., The crack tip plasticity was analyzed in a multiscale approach by means of optical microscopy, out-of-plane displacement measurement, and scanning transmission electron microscopy of dislocation structure immediately beneath the fracture surface (FIB/STEM). As a result, no clear modification of monotonic crack tip plasticity by hydrogen was observed, while a drastic reduction of cyclic crack tip plasticity associated with the FCGR enhancement was identified. Based on the experimental evidences, models of the hydrogen-induced intergranular FCG mechanism involving microvoid coalescence along grain boundary and the hydrogen-induced transgranular FCG mechanism involving cyclic cleavage due to crack tip plasticity reduction have been proposed. Three characteristic criteria of HAFCG (ΔKtr, hydrogen gradient (PH2 × f)1/2 and upper limit of FCGR) have been established. These criteria are expected to be useful for improving fatigue design and reliability of hydrogen-related equipment.
