Full textMotorkomponenter utsätts för upprepade start och stopp, vilka skapar tillfälliga och lokala temperaturvariationer. Dessa resulterar i lågfrekventa lastväxlingar, plastiska deformationer och eventuella brott i form av termodynamisk utmattning (TMF). Det sker dessutom en högfrekvent mekanisk last, genererad av förbränningen och från vägvibrationer. Dessa laster är mestadels elastiska och benämns högcykelutmattning (HCF). För att kunna förbättra verkningsgrad och minska emissioner kommer framtida lastbilsmotorer att utsättas för högre förbränningstryck och högre temperaturer, vilket kommer påverka motorernas livslängd. För detta krävs det att materialens begränsningar utreds under ett verklighetstroget förhållande. I detta exjobb kommer utmattningsegenskaperna för ett gråjärn (EN-GJL 250) och ett kompaktgrafikjärn (EN-GJV 400) utredas under realistiska lastförhållanden. Resultatet påvisar att ett byte från gråjärn till kompaktgrafitjärn ger en signifikant ökad livslängd. Det framkommer också att livslängden kan ökas genom att sänka den maximala temperaturen ett tiotal grader. Analysen påvisar även att en relativt liten HCF last kan ge kraftigt förkortad livslängd.

Full textThe work presented in this thesis is devoted to the study of the metastability in the hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H). The pm-Si:H films deposited in a plasma regime close to the powder formation, which promoted the incorporation of nanocrystallites and/or clusters in amorphous matrix of the layers. Previous results have shown the promising potentiality of the pm-Si:H for photovoltaic conversion. The aim of this study is to bring a better comprehension between the structural and optoelectronic properties of pm-Si:H films prepared under different deposition conditions. We used various methods of characterizations, and in particular some electrical techniques of characterizations: measurements of conductivity and photoconductivity (constant photocourant method, modulated photocurrent, steady state photocarrier gratings)), which we coupled with methods of structural characterizations (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen effusion experiments). We particularly studied the metastability of the pm-Si:H. After a systematic study of a large number of pm-Si:H films, we highlighted the deposition conditions which lead to films with good properties transport (high deposition rate, high and excellent stability of the ambipolar diffusion length of the minority carriers, better efficiency of the solar cells). A link between hydrogen bonding and transport properties is made that shows that to exhibit good transport properties the material has to present a peculiar microstructure revealed by the hydrogen bonding. However, the hydrogen bonding and/or content in this structure has to be adjusted via the deposition conditions to reach an optimum hydrogen incorporation leading to the best layers and the best solar cell devices

All-ceramic restorations have been widely used as aesthetic standard in nowadays dentistry, to replace the tooth structure (appearance and function). However, failures associated with chipping and delamination of the veneering porcelain from zirconia substructure still high when compared to metal-ceramic systems. This study aimed address these problems by improving the mechanical strength of veneering porcelain and by improving its adhesion to zirconia substrate. First, the addition of a stronger ceramic second phase (zirconia particles) to feldspathic porcelain was studied. This study began with the preliminary characterization of zirconia synthesized by Complex Polymerization Method (CPM) and commercial zirconia. It was found that the synthesized zirconia did not show improved properties when compared to commercial zirconia. Commercial zirconia powders were thus used thereafter. The influence of the type of powder (pre-sintered or agglomerated) in the mechanical properties and wear of porcelain composites (20vol.%) was evaluated. The pre-sintered powders increased the mechanical strength and wear of the composites compared to agglomerated powders. Then, it was determined the amount of second phase (0-50vol.%) that maximizes the mechanical properties of the porcelain-zirconia composites. It was concluded that the composites with 30vol.% of zirconia showed the best results for wear and flexural strength (198.5MPa). Finally, it was evaluated the influence of the type of surface treatment (sandblasting or holes) and the deposition of a composite interlayer (porcelain reinforced with 30vol.% of zirconia), on the zirconia surface, on the bond strength between the veneering porcelain and the zirconia substructure. The highest bond strength values were found for specimens having simultaneously holes on the surface of zirconia and the composite interlayer between the zirconia substructure and the veneering porcelain (138 ? 19MPa). It was demonstrated that the correct configuration of the interface between the zirconia substructure and the veneering porcelain can lead to all-ceramic restorations with enhanced mechanical strength and improved clinical performance.
Materiais comp?sitos restauradores representam um dos mais bem sucedidos biomateriais na pesquisa moderna, na substitui??o do tecido biol?gico em apar?ncia e fun??o. Nesta linha, a porcelana feldsp?tica tem sido largamente usada em odontologia devido suas interessantes qualidades como estabilidade de cor, propriedades est?ticas, elevada durabilidade mec?nica, biocompatibilidade, baixa condutividade t?rmica e elevada resist?ncia ao desgaste. Entretanto, este material ? fr?gil e pode falhar em ambiente oral devido ao micro-vazamento, baixa resist?ncia ? tra??o, descolagem ou fratura. Assim, para melhorar as propriedades mec?nicas da porcelana, a zirc?nia parcialmente estabilizada com ?tria (Y-TZP) pode ser uma boa alternativa para fortalecer e produzir infraestruturas totalmente cer?micas (coroas e pr?teses parciais fixas). Portanto, este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar as propriedades mec?nicas e caracter?sticas microestruturais da porcelana refor?ada com zirc?nia (3Y-TZP) em diferentes conte?dos e as vari?veis que afetam as propriedades mec?nicas destes materiais. O estudo de caracteriza??o revelou que a zirc?nia comercial apresenta melhores resultados quando comparada com a zirc?nia sintetizada pelo CPM. Assim, os estudos seguintes utilizaram a zirc?nia comercial para todos os testes requeridos. As part?culas de zirc?nia apresentam elevadas propriedades mec?nicas quando comparadas a zirc?nia aglomerada. Os diferentes conte?dos revelam que as propriedades mec?nicas dos comp?sitos aumentam com o aumento do conte?do volum?trico at? 30% vol.% (198,5Mpa), ou seja, maior resist?ncia ? flex?o quando comparada com os outros comp?sitos. Do mesmo modo, a resist?ncia ao desgaste para os comp?sitos com (30%, vol.% de zirc?nia) apresenta valores superiores quando comparado aos demais comp?sitos. Na ades?o cer?mico-cer?mico a porcelana exibe elevada ades?o para a superf?cie de zirc?nia porosa quando comparada a superf?cie rugosa. Os furos superficiais (PZ) e aplica??o de comp?sitos com camada intermedi?ria (RZI) na zirc?nia causam separadamente uma melhoria da resist?ncia ao cisalhamento da zirc?nia-porcelana quando comparados as amostras convencionais de zirc?nia-porcelana (RZ), embora n?o sejam estatisticamente significativas (p>0.05). A presen?a de uma camada intermediaria produz um aumento significativo na for?a de liga??o (~55%) em rela??o as amostras convencionais (RZ). Portanto, a correta a correta configura??o e tratamento superficial podem produzir subestruturas com qualidade e for?a de liga??o adequadas aos requisitos odontol?gicos.

Full textThis dissertation examines the implications of sticky rents on the measurement of owner-occupied housing in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). I argue that marginal and not average rents are the most theoretically justified measurement of owners' equivalent rent (OER), and that the current measurement of rental inflation using average rents is methodologically incorrect. I then discuss the literature on sticky rents and tenure discounts and present a theoretical model showing the implications of sticky rents for aggregate measures of inflation. Then I use two new data sources to construct marginal rent measures to compare to average rent measures. The results show that marginal rents reflect market turning points sooner, and show a larger post-housing bubble decline in rents. In addition, marginal rents are shown to forecast overall inflation better than average rents. Finally, the implications of these results for policy are considered using the Taylor Rule for optimal monetary policy. The results present suggestive evidence that the impacts of switching to marginal rents may be large enough to significantly impact monetary policy and allow the Federal Reserve to be more responsive to both the boom and bust of housing bubbles.

This thesis investigates price-setting in a variable macroeconomic environment using a unique data set from the Brazilian CPI index of Fundação Getulio Vargas. The primary data consist of a panel of individual prices for goods and services covering 100% of the CPI for the 1996-2008 period. During this period a number of important events produced substantial macroeconomic variability in Brazil: two emerging market crises, a change of exchange rate and monetary regimes, blackouts and energy rationing, an election crisis, and a regular disinflation. As a consequence, inflation, macroeconomic uncertainty, exchange rates, and output exhibit important variation in the sample. In the first chapter we describe the data-base and present the main price-setting statistics for Brazil. Then, in the second and third chapters, we construct time series of price-setting statistics and temporary sales and relate them to macroeconomic variables using regression analyses. We find that there is a substantial relationship between price setting statistics and the macroeconomic environment for the Brazilian Economy.
Esta tese investiga as estratégias de precificação em ambientes macroeconômicos distintos, utilizando uma base de dados única para o IPC da Fundação Getulio Vargas. A base de dados primária consiste em um painel de dados individuais para bens e serviços representando 100% do IPC para o período de 1996 a 2008. Durante este período, diversos eventos produziram uma variabilidade macroeconômica substancial no Brasil: duas crises em países emergentes, uma mudança de regime cambial e monetário, racionamento de energia, uma crise de expectativas eleitorais e um processo de desinflação. Como consequência, a inflação, a incerteza macroeconômica, a taxa de câmbio e o produto exibiram uma variação considerável no período. No primeiro capítulo, nós descrevemos a base de dados e apresentamos as principais estatísticas de price-setting para o Brasil. Em seguida, nos capítulos 2 e 3, nos construímos as séries de tempo destas estatísticas e das estatísticas de promoções, e as relacionamos com as variáveis macroeconômicas utilizando análises de regressões. Os resultados indicam que há uma relação substancial entre as estatísticas de price-setting e o ambiente macroeconômico para a economia brasileira.
