Orientador: Elson Luciano Silva Pires / Banca: Ricardo Toledo Neder / Banca: Maria Monica Arroyo / Abstract: The Metropolitan Accumulation of Curitiba faces a new reality characterized for the insertion to the local economies of great groups in the dynamic sectors, especially to the automobile industry, segment of light vehicles. This process reflects the current phase global of territorial expansion of the capitalist relations, with accented transformation of the innovations social techniques and of production and of the organization modes standards of the local space. The insertion of the Economic Group in a new territory obeys a new organization mode dynamics and of relations where the place also if detaches, constructing strategical agreements that provoke significant changes in the relations between Group and territory. The thematic central office of this work is to understand and to analyze the relation between the sector (automobile - Grupo Renault) and the territory (AMC - Agglomerated Metropolitan of Curitiba), its construction dynamic and crumbling dynamic. A new dynamics of industrial centerless and permanence of the sectors in the place has been broken of the central hypothesis of that the global processes that characterize a new economic phase reflect in the relation between the Economic Groups and the territory, imposing. From this idea it was analyzed influence of the global processes in the organization of the industries, as well as the relations that if process between the Economic Group and the territory, having itself in sight the local dynamics of the auto industries and the competitiveness between the places. Therefore, the characterization of the territorial dynamics of the automobile industry (genesis, determinative and displacements) in the world became excellent, specifying itself the new territories of this sector in Brazil and exposing the logics of localization in the AMC (the new territoriality imposed for the auto industry and its impacts for the local development)...

A Otimização Topológica (OT) tem se mostrado uma ferramenta eficiente na busca de produtos de baixo custo, alta qualidade e alto desempenho. Esta dissertação trata da aplicação da OT, por meio do software Altair Optistruct, no desenvolvimento do projeto de um Cubo de Roda. O objetivo da aplicação da OT foi auxiliar na busca por um componente mecânico otimizado atendendo os requisitos da aplicação. Utilizou-se de ensaios experimentais para validação das análises estruturais, realizadas por meio do Método de Elementos Finitos, onde as diferenças encontradas entre os valores medidos e calculados foram considerados satisfatórios. Para tanto, foi fundamental os cuidados na realização da discretização do sistema, a escolha dos pontos de instrumentação baseado nas direções principais e baixo gradiente de tensões. Também foi realizado o ensaio de aprovação do desenvolvimento de um protótipo de Cubo de Roda, utilizando-se da norma SAE n095 como critério de homologação, onde o componente otimizado foi aprovado. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-07-10T13:30:09Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Gustavo Perini.pdf: 27046982 bytes, checksum: 0dfa07feee25bbc0c0434b8c0c09e4d0 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-10T13:30:09Z (GMT).

The objective of the application of TO was to minimize the Wheel Hub mass meeting the application requirements. This work employs experimental validation of structural analysis, where the differences between the measured and calculated values were considered satisfactory, therefore, the way performing the discretization of the system and the choice of instrumentation points based on the principal stresses directions and low gradient were essential. The optimized Wheel Hub was also submitted to the fatigue test (SAE 11095) as a criterion for approval of the prototype, where the optimized component was considered approved.
