Texto completoThe dissertation aims to highlight the points of contact and mutual interaction between the discipline of anti-money laundering and tax investigations, especially underlining the strengths and weaknesses. It will be shown that measures designed to prevent criminal behavior and meant to protect the financial system as a whole can influence significantly - though indirectly - the dynamics of the assessment of taxation. In fact, the large amount of information collected and managed within the ambit of anti-money laundering rules and regulations can be cross-checked with further fiscal data already available for revenues authorities, in order to achieve a financial and commercial feedback on the accuracy of records in relation to an enterprise or with reference to the standards of living of an individual. Not to mention the great support given by the provisions concerning restrictions on the use of cash money that - conveying most of the financial transactions through predetermined channels - help to reveal what could have stayed "hidden"; furthermore, they exert a great influence in terms of psychological deterrence thanks to the dissemination of a general feeling of controllability. Nevertheless, it is certainly a mistake to attribute to anti-money laundering a direct fiscal value. Taxes are paid on what is apparent and, if on one hand tracing the transfers helps to make visible the money transfers themselves, on the other it says nothing about the economic reason why they occur. In order to get around this limit, it was made compulsory for a wide group of people both, financially and professionally speaking, to be actively cooperative; that is to say that they now have to develop a “substantial economic role” with reference to the financial operation and, at the same time, they are also asked to report of those that are considered "suspicious". It has to be said that the debate is open in relation to the reliability of such investigations and information completeness, to which State employees can have access. In the end, we are coping with neither police force nor subjects equipped with special powers of "investigation". It is only a matter of individuals which have to interview their clients and record their answers. And it will be just the 'interviewer' who -as a trustworthy advisor- will recommend what answer is to be given. But anti-money laundering is not just reporting, it is -first and foremost- informative heritage and culture of transparency and accountability (which would be desirable to spread among all economic and financial operators).

Texto completoIn this work we have developed a theory of electric characteristic of the metal-oxide-insulator-metal structure, considering a thin film of oxide between metal and insulator; the oxide is another insulator of wider forbidden energy gap. A uniform energy distribution of impurity states at the oxide-insulator interface was considered. W e have studied the actual distribution of potential in the region of spatial charge using the Poisson equation. With this distribution we obtain the relation between the contact potential and the charge in the depletion region and then the characteristic potential - capacitance of t his structure. This type of characteristic is useful to calculate the characteristic current - potential, and current-time at a given potential . In this manner it is important to the understanding of MIM and MOIM structures.

Texto completoRailway dynamics systems are modeled regarding the creep forces between wheel-rail. The equations of movement are strongly influenced by these forces, what requests the knowledge of the theory in mechanical of contact, necessary tool to foresee the behavior of a railway vehicle. The wheelset is responsible by receiving the perturbations of irregularities and transfer them to the primary suspension. A railway vehicle is composed by primary and secondary suspensions. The proposal is based on performing simulations in the time domain, dynamic mresponse of a railway wheelset of two degrees of freedom. The mathematical model is developed. The stiffness of contact and conicity are linearized around an operation point, near to track center. The influence of speed is determined to linearized model and to a range of 0.1 to 1.0 in the conicity. The eigenvectors are presented. In the following, the non linear model of the wheelset is generated using a specialized package of multi body system, VAMPIRE. The package creates equations of movement after the generation of the topology. The non linear mathematical model are defined by the benchmark proposed by International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD). The wheelset is submitted to 20kN at the rail level. In a second case, the wheelset is submitted to a rate of 50kN/s of lateral force until derailing. The determined longitudinal and lateral forces on contact, yaw angle and displacement of the center of gravity of the wheelset, contact angle are compared with the benchmark results and other authors.

Texto completoThe theme of the thesis is Direct and indirect Turkish loanwords on the vocabulary of the Spanish language and the function of intermediary languages. It consists of seven sections: introduction, objective, methodology, analysis, conclusion, bibliography and appendix. The research deals with a linguistic analysis of foreign words borrowed from Turkish that are widely used in the Spanish language, which we also call “turquismos”. Today the difference between “turquismo” and “arabismo” has not been thoroughly investigated. One of the objectives of the thesis is to demonstrate the evidence of this type of loanwords originated from different sources. Based on the selected and analyzed materials, we have made an attempt to prove that the Turkish language has left its traces in the Spanish lexicon during the historical periods of the language and its society. Until now, the influence of Arabian muslims in the Iberian Peninsula has been amply demonstrated, but the Arabs were not the only Islamists who were related to the Peninsula; the Turks also did it from different points of view for a long time, although in a more indirect way. It is evident that any contact between the nations involves the exchange of words, and for that reason, direct and indirect loans of Turkish origin have appeared in the Spanish lexicon, although not too many, if we compare them with the number of Arabisms. There are also intermediary languages through which certain Turkish loanwords were integrated in the Spanish vocabulary. They are French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, English and some others. All the transmission processes of these words, their semantic fields and the frequency of their usage in the Spanish language are analyzed. Some examples of the corpus are: fez, sultán, horda, turbante, café, hurra, yogur, chamerluco, tabor, corbacho, zapato, tulipán, caftán, atamán, bajá, etc. Some of them even have derivatives formed in Spanish itself, which have also been included in the corpus of this research. The total number of direct and indirect Turkish loanwords, which has been selected from lexicographical sources for the doctoral thesis, is 130. It has been observed that the nouns (82% of the whole corpus) are more frequent than adjectives or other parts of the speech. It is not surprising that nouns are more numerous than the rest of the words as they have the feature of naming all kinds of things and objects among other concepts. The theoretical importance of this research is determined by the fact that its results can be used in later studies to solve linguistic problems in the field of etymology of vocabulary units. Its practical significance lies in the study of the influence of the Turkish languages which is innovative. The thesis can have an important role in the context of the Spanish lexicon so that its subject can be developed extensively in the future.

Texto completoRullande kontakter förekommer i många applikationer, till exempel i lager och mellan kugghjulständer. Både lager och kugghjul utsätts ofta för höga laster vilket gör att dess ytor löper stor risk att utmattas, vilket kallas rullande kontaktutmattning. Denna studie fokuserar på pitting, även kallat spalling, vilket är en typ av rullande kontaktutmattning där en utmattninsspricka växer fram som får delar av ytan att ramla av. För att få en bättre förståelse varför pittingskador uppkommer har noggranna simuleringar utförts av rullande kontakter. Kontakten mellan två tänder på kugghjul i en lastbilsretarder har används som underlag då många pittingskador påträffats på dem. För att minska friktionen och nötningen i kontakten mellan kuggtänderna användes smörjmedel. De höga lasterna lastbilsretardern utsattes för deformerade kuggarnas ytor elastiskt samtidigt de kraftigt ökade viskositeten hos smörjmedlet. Dessa förhållanden gör att kontakten kallas för elastohydrodynamiskt smord, vilket på engelska förkortas till EHL. I Artikel A undersöktes om små ytojämnheter kan orsaka ytinitierade pittingskador. Eftersom skadan påträffats i friktionslösa kontakter, så som vid rullcirkeln på de undersökta kugghjulen, är det viktigt att teorierna som förklarar uppkomsten inte är beroende av friktion. Undersökningen fokuserade därför på förhållandena vid rullcirkeln. Slutsatsen från arbetet var att små ytojämnheter, av samma storleksordning som ytojämnheterna på de undersökta kugghjulen, är tillräckligt stora för att orsaka utmattningsskador. I Artikel B undersöktes varför det är vanligare att pitts initieras i dedendum än addendum på drivande kugghjul. Kontakten på båda sidorna om rullcirkeln slirar svagt åt olika håll. Att kontakten slirar skapar friktion som är motriktad rullriktningen i dedendum vilket ökar risken för pittingskador. För att undersöka varför dessa förhållanden ökar risken för skador fördjupades analysen av kontakten genom att inkludera temperaturfältet. Simuleringarna visade att temperaturen ökar genom kontakten vilket orsakar en asymmetrisk spänningsfördelning. Denna asymmetriska spänningsfördelning gör att ytojämnheter i dedendum är troligare att orsaka skador än ytojämnheter i addendum.

Texto completoThe herein thesis represents a complex study of photosensitive azopolysiloxanes and rejoins both theoretical and experimental techniques. The theme revolves around the azopolymer’s mass transport phenomenon induced by the photoisomerization of azobenzenes. Trans- to cis conversion of azobenzene and its derivatives is a reversible light actuated process that enables the rearrangement of surrounding matter at nano and micro level. This property is exploited to fabricate surface relief gratings (SRG) with certain geometrical features. The present studies are directed to comprehension of this complex mechanism, subject to great controversial among different research groups. The parameters that control the process are addressed and analyzed. Experimental study comprises the synthesis and characterization of four azopolysiloxanes which are then analyzed for the capacity to obtain SRG. Photochromic behaviour is evaluated through irradiation experiments at different light intensity, in the presence or absence of an assistance light that supposedly intensifies isomerization. Computer simulation focuses on diffusion of the molecules in the system: one azobenzene – like molecule (molecular motor) diluted in the host medium. Molecular modeling calculations are performed for motors with different lengths and with various isomerization times (fast or slow isomerization) in order to define the relation between these parameters and diffusion. Providing experimental and theoretical info on azopolymers is part of the SRG formation insight

Texto completoThe genus Rosa comprises 150-200 species well distributed in the northern hemisphere and has a complex evolutionary history. Hybridization and polyploidy are major evolutionary forces in Rosa although both processes have hardly been taken into account in recent phylogenies. With the recent acquisition of complete genomes and the development of high-throughput sequencing techniques, the aim of this thesis was to develop a general phylogenomic framework to resolve phylogenetic relationships within large and complex taxonomic groups consisting of close taxa, as in Rosa. The exploitation of publicly available complete genomes made it possible to extract 1856 short orthologue sequences in single copy (SCOTags) of phylogenetic interest. Ninety-two SCOTags from the nuclear genome and four SCOTags from the chloroplast genome were targeted in 126 species using mircrofluidic PCR and amplicon sequencing. The large amount of data generated by sequencing made it possible to estimate the ploidy level of each accession and to assemble allelic sequences that were later used to trace the hybrid origin of certain taxa. A stepwise approach wasThe genus Rosa comprises 150-200 species well distributed in the northern hemisphere and has a complex evolutionary history. developed to progressively reveal the reticulated patterns in Rosa. Robust nuclear and chloroplastic phylogenies were obtained as well as detailed hybridization scenarios for several specimens. Finally, the resolving power of microsatellite markers was studied to delineate closely related species. Many large and complex taxonomic groups can now be studied using this stepwise approach

Thesis, Angers, 2020. http://bu.univ-angers.fr/Contact.
Texto completoMetabolic syndrome (MetS),characterized by interconnecting metabolic disorders, is associated with endothelium dysfunction and insulin resistance. Thanks to their ability to transfer their cargo to recipient cells, extracellular vesicles (EVs), including large(lEVs) and small (sEVs) vesicles are involved indifferent intercellular communication pathways. Among the research conducted on EVs, the study of their involvement in the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases have highlighted numerous intercellular communication that are deleterious for the vascular system and for insulin pathways. My thesis project aims were to characterize circulating EVs from non-MetS and MetSpatients, to evaluate their metabolic effect on endothelial function, and to analyze lEVs andsEVs effects on insulin target cells and tissues. First, we shown that circulating concentration of sEVs were positively correlated with MetS criteriain cluding visceral obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. We have shown that MetS sEVs, enriched with LPS, are involved in the development of endothelial dysfunction through the activation of the TLR4 signaling pathway. Second, we demonstrated that both subtype of EVs can induce insulin resistance in peripheral tissues via different molecular mechanisms.These results allow understanding the molecular pathways by which EVs participate in metabolic alterations associated with endothelial dysfunctions and insulin resistance during MetS

Texto completoThis work reports on the design, synthesis and characterization of novel anilate-based functional molecular materials showing luminescent, magnetic and/or conducting properties. The family of anilate ligands comprises several derivatives obtained by introducing various substituents (H, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, etc.) at the 3 and 6 positions of the common 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone framework. Among the anilate ligands, the only known heterosubstituted anilate with Cl/CN substituents at the 3,6 positions, ClCNAn2-, have been selected for preparing a novel family of 2D layered coordination polymers (2D CP) with both 3d metal ions and 4f lanthanide ions, through a general and straightforward synthetic strategy. i) Mixed-valence FeIIFeIII 2D CP, formulated as [TAG][FeIIFeIII(ClCNAn)3], containing, the tris(amino)-guanidinium (TAG) cation for the first time in such 2D networks has been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. ii) 2D CPs based on NIR-emitting lanthanides (YbIII, NdIII, ErIII) and the ClCNAn2- ligand, have been prepared and characterized. These layered compounds were exfoliated to nanosheets, by sonication-assisted solution synthesis. Time-resolved photoluminescence studies performed on both the bulk and nanosheets are also highlighted. iii) Novel family of heteroleptic 2D CPs based on NIR-emitting lanthanides and mixed ligands (ClCNAn2- and carboxylate ligands (DOBDC and F4-BDC)), were prepared and characterized. vi) Novel family of 2D CPs based on DyIII and ClCNAn2- were prepared in order to investigate their magnetic properties. v) Furthermore, the ability of anilate ligands to work as components of BEDT-TTF- based molecular conductors have been demonstrated through the synthesis, via electrocrystallization technique. vi) П-d hybrid multifunctional paramagnetic molecular conductors BEDT-TTF and [Fe(ClCNAn)3]3-) were also studied

Texto completoThe purpose of this study is to explore, understand and master the different electrical properties of electrical contacts made of flexible carbon membranes, which switch on metal tracks on a printed circuit board. These contacts are increasingly used in the automobile because they have interesting mechanical properties for the user, while providing a good reliability. At first, the electrical and mechanical parameters of these contacts are characterized, the switching phenomena on various types of loads are studied and the influence of contaminants and corrosion on the electrical conduction is examined. The evolution of insulation resistance in the presence of moisture is quantified. In a second step, an approach to reliability is achieved: the evolution of electrical and mechanical parameters of these contacts is studied when subjected to environmental stresses, especially moist and heat. The main types of damage are considered. We show in particular that mechanical failures come mainly from polymer and electrical failures from the PCB. The influence of a gold-plated printed for different thicknesses system side, is also studied. Our work continues with a slightly more fundamental study on switching phenomena in the presence of carbon materials. In this pioneering work, the optical signatures are discussed at the current break. A phenomenon called "glowing" is highlighted; limits current and voltage between "glowing" and electrical arcing are given, and compared with respect to the phenomena switching phenomena in metal contacts - type metal. The study concludes with a summary review on the use of contacts comprising a carbon pill, with their advantages and limitations

Texto completoWhenever relative motion between two system components occurs, through a dry contact interface, vibrations are induced by the frictional contact. The local dynamics at the contact (ruptures and wave generation) couples with the system dynamics, giving origin to vibrations and affecting the macroscopic frictional behavior of the system. In this thesis, in order to develop an overall approach to the investigation of the multi-physic phenomenon, the energy has been pointed out as a coupling physical characteristic among the several phenomena at the different scales. The formulation of a mechanical energy balance is used for distinguishing between two different dissipative terms, i.e. the dissipation by material/system damping and the dissipation at the contact. The energy flows coming from the frictional surfaces, by friction induced vibrations, excites the dynamic response of the system, and vice versa the influence of the system dynamic response on the local energy dissipation at the contact interface affects the related tribological phenomena. The friction-induced vibrations have been analyzed using three different approaches: the finite element approach, to investigate the coupling between the contact and system dynamics by the analysis of the energy flows; the experimental approach to validate the numerical results and observe the influence of phenomena not still included into the numerical model; a lumped parameter model approach to quickly investigate the effects of the system parameters. The numerical analysis by the 2D finite element model allowed investigating the repartition of the energy introduced into the mechanical system between the two dissipative terms (material damping and contact) during both stable and unstable friction-induced vibrations. In particular, it has been shown how the friction-induced vibrations modify the overall capacity of the system to absorb and dissipate energy; an estimation of the power dissipated at the contact, without considering the dynamic behavior of the system (energy flows by friction induced vibrations) can lead to significant error in the quantification of the dissipated energy at the contact, which affects directly several tribological phenomena. The experimental squeal measurements show how the same unstable modes are recovered both experimentally and numerically, validating the use of the 2D transient simulations for the reproduction of the unstable friction-induced vibrations. Once the energy balance formulated, it has been used on the lumped model to approach the instability over-prediction issue characteristic of the complex eigenvalue analysis. By energy considerations, a newer instability index (MAI) has been defined to compare the different unstable modes and to select the mode that becomes effectively unstable during the transient response. The Modal Absorption Index allows quantifying the capability of each mode to exchange energy with the external environment

Texto completoThis work presents design and construction of an equipment for rolling contact fatigue studying and its use to cast irons analysis. Firstly it was used an equipment available at Surface Phenomena Laboratory, in São Paulo University, which was called machine I. The design of the system followed the well-known architecture where races of a thrust ball bearing are substituted by washers made with the material under investigation. Preliminary tests have shown that the first machine had severe limitations, but the most important was lack of ability to reproduce rolling contact fatigue mechanisms. An unknown sliding/rolling ratio always took place in its work. Then a second machine was designed and assembled. Sets up tests have shown typical mechanisms of rolling contact fatigue. The next step was to use the new machine to study two types of cast irons, a gray iron and a ductile iron, under two test conditions: with and without pre-stress. Also a steel specimen was tested as a reference. Results were subjected to Weibull analysis. A device was developed for pre-stress application, and the specimen/device system was modeled by finite elements analysis. Tests were carried out till failure, under lubrication, and with maximum contact pressure of 3.6 GPa. Ductile cast iron behavior was superior to gray iron in all tests. Gray iron specimens with and without pre-stress presented very similar results. On the other hand, ductile iron probability failure curve was strongly affected by pre-stress. An unexpected heterogeneity on graphite nodules size distribution promoted failures on just one region, which is an evidence of test sensitivity to micro structural changes.
Porras, Vazquez Alberto. "Lubricant starvation in elastohydrodynamic large-size spinning contacts". Thesis, Lyon, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LYSEI109.
Texto completoThis thesis is dedicated to the study of large-size spinning contacts located at the interface between the roller-end and the flange in rolling-element bearings. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the influence of lubricant starvation on the film thickness distribution of the contact and analyze how spinning might affect this mechanism. Due to its importance in the reliability and performance of the bearing, the focus is set of the local minimum film thickness found at the low velocity region of the contact area. To tackle this problem, a dual numerical-experimental approach is proposed. The film thickness distribution of spinning contacts is investigated numerically by means of a finite element model previously validated by two dedicated test rigs: Jerotrib and Tribogyr. The simulation of different operating, kinematic, geometric and lubrication conditions enables to write an analytic expression for predicting the aforementioned critical film thickness. At the same time, novel techniques to experimentally induce and control starvation in the contact are implemented into both test rigs and their results are contrasted with those of the simulation. It is demonstrated that the effects of spinning and starvation add up, so that the film thickness distribution of the spinning contact remains asymmetric but tends to a more Hertzian, and therefore thinner, distribution when limiting the oil supply upstream of the contact’s inlet

Texto completoThe tact may be defined as the capacity of a body to locate the contact on its surface, to recognize shape of the contacting surface as well as the superficial rugosity. Usually analytical models are not able to describe the phenomenon properly. This work, proposes an approach for the contact form location between two bodies using the resultant signals analysis of the vibrations caused for the contact. In this way it is determined the target surface geometry. The qualitative description of the impact is obtained through the analysis of mathematical series that generate orthogonal basis for this sort of event. Thus, the contact is not considered through a traditional physical modeling, but by the description of the waves generated for the superficial stress and strain, incorporating the interaction of multiple entailed points and procedures of counting statistics. With a methodology for study of theoretical impact, the quantitative construction of the specter of displacement of a subject plate to the application of distributed strains is effected.
Ndiaye, Serigne Ndiaga. "Ultimate behavior of confined fluids under very high pressure and shear stress". Thesis, Lyon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LYSEI104/document.
Texto completoFriction in highly loaded lubricated contacts is a complex issue. Indeed, it highly depends on the lubricant rheological behaviour in the Hertzian region, which is not well known under such high pressure and high shear stress. Various experimental methods have been developed to explain the plateau-like behaviour in friction curves referred to as the limiting shear stress (LSS), but none of them provided a full picture of the real mechanisms involved. In a continuation of these efforts, some investigations are presented in this manuscript. The first challenge in this work is to carry out friction measurements under nominal isothermal conditions, meaning that even if thermal effects must occur in any friction measurement, it is possible to minimize them and to make the results almost insensitive to a weak energy dissipation within the experimental volume of interest. Minimizing shear heating of the lubricant help us to focus on the mechanical origin of the LSS and to better characterize its dependence to pressure and temperature. That’s why, first of all, a series of experiments was performed on two lubricants, a pure diester fluid (benzyl benzoate), and a commercial turbine mineral oil (Shell T9) with varying entrainment velocities. This allow us first to directly observe the influence of the lubricant shear heating on the LSS values and then to determine the experimental conditions which limit this thermal effect while ensuring a full film regime. The second objective is to characterize the frictional behavior of both lubricants under nominal isothermal conditions and over a wide range of pressure (up to 3 GPa) and temperature (up to 80°C) in order to establish a new uncoupled model to describe the temperature and pressure dependence of the limiting shear stress under highly loaded conditions. Finally, the study focuses on the understanding of the microscopic behavior of lubricants under extreme shear and pressure conditions. In situ Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy investigations were also conducted under static conditions, in order to study the lubricant phase changes under various pressure and temperature conditions

Taking into account a single sample of 240 informants, the influence of the different linguistic variables (areas of interests and sociolinguistic variables) on both linguistic corpora has been analysed. In addition, the productivity of the informants in both languages has been compared, and the main trends of each social subgroup in relation with to their productions in Spanish and Catalan has been described. In the same way, the mutual influence of both languages has been analysed, that is: to what extent the available lexicon of one language contains elements of the other language, and what weight do such units have in the overall data.

Texto completoAn arbitrary lagrangian-eulerian finite element method to solve surface tension dominated flows is presented. Such flows are important in many applications, particularly in capillary channels, that appear in microscale flows. The resolution of such flows presents several challenges that are addressed in this work. The flow is solved only in the liquid phase, and proper boundary conditions are applied on the free-surface, bounding the liquid and gas, which is explicitly represented by vertices and edges of the computational mesh. The mesh is moved and deformed, but its quality is kept under control in order to control errors in the numerical solution. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized by standard Galerkin finite element method in an arbitrary reference. Details of the computation of surface tension and contact line effects are presented. The methodology is validated for a number of simple test cases against known pseudo-analytical solutions, and numerical results are presented, showing the robustness and accuracy of the methodology. Finally, some results about surface-tension-driven flows in capillaries are presented

Texto completoThe development of new technologies, which allow innovative manufacturing processes, as well as the use of new materials and lubricants have led to an overall improvement of mechanical systems efficiency and reliability. However some failures, like scuffing, remain difficult to understand since they depend on many related parameters such as the lubrication regime, the contact temperature and the friction coefficient. Scuffing is a critical damage that appears suddenly and which is characterised by local welds and scratches between the sliding surfaces. It can lead to complete destruction of the mechanical system. This phenomenon is in general related to poor heat dissipation and overheating resulting in high contact temperature. Numerous studies were conducted in order to establish a scuffing criterion based on energetic approach. But none of them is unanimously recognized by the scientific community. The first part of this study consisted in characterizing the frictional behaviour of a given couple of lubricant and material thanks to the use of a twin-disc machine. In a second part, a thermal modelling of this test bench has been realised using the thermal network methodology. Correlations between analytical formulas and experimental measurements allowed to establish a friction law relating contact conditions and disc bulk temperature. It has also been demonstrated that the disc bulk temperature could be considerably different from the lubricant injection temperature depending on the operating conditions. This result allows a new interpretation of existing scuffing criteria, which for most of them consider the disc temperature to equal the oil temperature. Despite this analysis, the scuffing experiments performed reveal that accounting solely for the contact temperature is not sufficient to establish a reliable scuffing criterion

Texto completoContact problems represent a class of solid mechanics problems for which the nonlinear behavior is caused by the change of the boundary conditions during the solution process. The present work treats contact problems observing aspects of its formulation and numerical implementation. Specifically, the formulation for two different contact elements is presented, analyzing, in details, the numerical formulation that results from the contact. Some strategies for the computational solution of this class of problems, given by optimization techniques, were implemented in a finite element computational program and were compared and evaluated by numerical examples with different levels of complexity.

Texto completoSince the use of bolts in the fifteenth century to assemble two parts, the bolted assemblies have the interrogations according to the understanding of their operating and failures occurring, such as the variation of the clamping force leading to, self-loosening, loss of sealing performance, cracks initialization, ... In order to understand their operating, a methodology focused on tribological approach was established, enabling to disassemble a bolted assembly without loosen its, allowing to not change the contact conditions during loosening. So, all the bolted assemblies interfaces (nut/screw ‘‘threads’’ and ‘‘others than threads’’) constituting tribological triplets, have been studied according to the three stages of their full life-cycle (manufacturing, tightening and service) using configurations of different materials. An interactive dialogue between the experiments (fields measuring by digital images correlation, tribological analysis) and the numerical simulation (Finite Element Method, Discrete Element Method) has led to interpretations about the three stages. During the manufacturing, the rolling of screws generates tribological superficial transformations in subsurfaces of machined threads. Contrariwise, inside the volume of these machined screws, there is no tribological transformation. So, this manufacturing process creates a difference of microstructure in these screws, that could be a source of their fatigue properties destruction. During the tightening, it produces at ‘‘threads’’ interface a ‘‘dry-solid’’ mixture of third bodies, accommodating the speed jump between the screw and the nut. This mixture is the result of a reactivity between a grease used for bolted tightening and the particles, detached by plastic flow from a coating initially applied on the threads of nuts and/or bolts. At the end of the process, a part of the mixture remains trapped in the threads, playing the role of maintaining the clamping force. In these conditions, it appears that the friction varies depending of the rheology of the mixture, conditioning the variation of the clamping force. In service, contact instabilities (slip, peeling off, ...) have been identified in the interfaces. These instabilities lead to the formation of an oxidized third body in ‘‘others than threads’’ interfaces. This oxidized third body represents a surplus of material and can increase mechanical stresses in the assemblies. In the nut/screw ‘‘threads’’ interface, it was found that if the mixture of third bodies trapped during the tightening stage is not cohesive, it is extruded, initializing the loss of clamping force. Based on the findings, the interactions between multiple tribological circuits lead to converge to a scenario of bolted assemblies operating, allowing to solve their failures by re-designing (create discharge grooves, ...)

A hanseníase ainda é um sério problema de saúde pública em alguns países do mundo, entre eles o Brasil, que ocupa o segundo lugar em número de casos absolutos no mundo. O estado de Mato Grosso ocupou, em 2011, o primeiro lugar em número de casos novos detectados entre os 27 estados da federação, estando sua capital Cuiabá em situação de hiperendemicidade pelos parâmetros do Ministério da Saúde. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a acessibilidade ao exame de contato de hanseníase na Estratégia de Saúde da Família no município de Cuiabá/MT. Na primeira etapa do estudo foi realizada a avaliabilidade do PECH/MT, constatando-se que o mesmo encontra-se implantado adequadamente. Identificou-se que entre os aspectos deficientes na condução das ações do programa está a dificuldade em realizar exames de contatos dos pacientes com hanseníase, revelando a existência de problemas de acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde. A avaliação da acessibilidade foi conduzida através de estudo de caso em duas unidades de saúde da família, por meio de análise documental, observação sistemática e entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes-chave. O Projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP) do Instituto de Saúde Coletiva - ISC/UFBA, e os entrevistados assinaram Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. A análise da acessibilidade foi realizada em duas dimensões, no âmbito da organização do sistema e dos serviços de saúde. Na primeira dimensão, a avaliação demonstrou que o município encontra-se em situação insatisfatória, evidenciado pela inexistência de plano com ações e metas específicas para o desenvolvimento das ações, falta de garantia de acesso ao serviço de saúde e de insumos para o exame. Na segunda dimensão, observou-se que as unidades foram consideradas de situação intermediária (USF1) e insatisfatória (USF2), indicando a existência de dificuldades quanto à: centralização da realização do exame de baciloscopia, no LACEC; ausência de atividades educativas e falta de sistematização na marcação de consultas. Recomenda-se a composição de equipe de trabalho para coordenar as ações e a proposição de uma política de capacitação contínua de recursos humanos voltados para hanseníase. Deve atentar para a implantação do terceiro turno nas unidades de saúde para atender a demanda de trabalhadores e para o aumento do número de ACS, indispensáveis na busca ativa de casos novos, de contatos faltosos e ações educativas; bem como rever a normatização do MS quanto ao exame dos contatos, pois não está baseado em evidências científicas.

Texto completoContact lubrication is essential in a wide range of mechanical systems like rolling element bearings (REBs). A minimum quantity of clean lubricant all along the bearing life is necessary but difficult to ensure. In fact, lubricants contain inevitably wear debris or external particles, like dust. Carried by the lubricant in the vicinity of elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts, particles can be entrapped with disastrous consequences for contacting surfaces. Entrapment of micrometric particles in submicrometric contacting gaps means irreversible damages for the surfaces. Damages weaken the surfaces and reduce significantly the REBs lifetime. The goal of this work is to analyze the critical particle entrainments in the contact inlet. Entrapment of steel spherical particles was investigated from the numerical and experimental point of view. Firstly, the phenomenology of entrapment was explored with a new experimental method based on Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique installed on a tribometer. It enabled the evaluation of velocity profiles in the contact inlet and the tracking of particles within EHD contacts. Secondly, a numerical modelling of the inlet flow for EHD contacts, including the particle tracking, was developed. Finally, tests on a twin-disc machine with a controlled level of well-defined contamination were conducted to validate previous conclusions. A first set of results showed that particle entrapment is highly dependent on the lubricant velocity profile. Depending on contact geometry, from point to wide elliptical contacts, different entrapment probability were revealed. Surprisingly, increasing contact width with wide elliptical contacts leads to a drop of entrapped particles. It was demonstrated that this phenomenon is due to backflows occurring upstream from these contacts. Introducing a hybrid pair of contacting materials (silicon nitride–steel), dents on the surfaces due to entrapped particles were explored. It has been confirmed that silicon nitride surface offers a real ability to resist to indentation. It was also noticed that the entrapment probability for silicon nitride–steel contacts is equivalent to a steel–steel one

Texto completoThe thesis works propose a complementary approach, combining dynamic and tribological analyzes, to the stick-slip problem of a greased contact, in a mechanical spring brake. Stick-slip instability is the result of the coupling between the dynamic response of the mechanical system (brake) and the local response of the lubricated contact at the brake interface. The local response of the greased contact was first characterized by experimental tests performed on a tribometer. Then, the conditions which lead to instability have been investigated in detail, using a numerical lumped model of the complete system. This model simulates the overall dynamic behavior of the mechanical braking system. As inputs, it takes the parameters specific to the operation and design of the brake, as well as the local frictional behavior obtained experimentally. At the output, the influence of each of the parameters on the generation of the stick-slip has been therefore analyzed. Finally, an experimental study of the influence of the different lubricant components (DLC and grease) on the behavior of the lubricated frictional contact has been carried out. Dependent on thickener, oil and additives, the complex rheology of grease is a key point for the understanding of the stick-slip appearance. Indeed, if lubrication is traditionally supposed to reduce friction losses, it can also participate in the appearance of instabilities. Understanding the conditions for which a system is predisposed to the stick-slip phenomenon can help prevent the appearance of such instabilities and the nuisance they cause. However, in the presence of lubricated contacts, the literature shows a lack of informations. It is in this context that the multi-approach analysis presented in this thesis makes it possible to contribute to the understanding of the appearance of friction instabilities in contacts lubricated with grease, by also providing elements of solution in the case of a specific application

Texto completoIn this work, the relationship between adhesion and the degree of disorder of surfaces in contact is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The system consists of a rigid cylindrical indenter and a deformable block. A heat reservoir is placed just below the block, in order to maintain the system at room temperature. Both solids are made of the same material and are modeled through the generic Lennard-Jones potential. Adhesion between the surfaces is gradually varied by varying the cut-off radius of the potential describing the interaction between the indenter surface and the block. Each contact simulation is preceeded by an annealing step, and is conducted until the penetration reaches 1.7 atomic radii. The normal force, the potential energy, kinetic energy and temperature are monitored throughout the process. The results reinforce the importance of adhesion in the phenomenon of jump-to-contact, which is also related to the generation of crystalline defects. The results indicate that the load distribution and power dissipation is influenced by the adhesion at the interface. It is shown that the disorder presented by the atoms of the block is proportional to the contribution of adhesion.

Texto completoThis study is realised in the framework of a CIFRE agreement in cooperation with Schneider-Electric and the research laboratory, “Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des MATériaux de Bretagne” (LIMATB). The principal subject of this study is to improve the resistance welding process of a Contact Material (CM) Ag-SnO2 88/12 (%w) to a copper support. A double approach, based on experimental and numerical methods, made it possible to carry out welding tests with a conventional current system and permitted us to develop a numerical model which integrates the principal physical, electrical and thermal phenomena. Schneider-Electric has developed and industrialized a protocol to join the CM by resistance brazing technology, with the use of two intermediate materials (a fine silver layer directly integrated in the CM during its elaboration and an interfacial brazing alloy Cu-Ag-P). The aim of this study is to improve this reference configuration (WSL-WBA) [with silver layer-with brazing alloy] by limiting the intermediate materials while maintaining the welding quality. Three configurations have been considered to reduce the intermediate materials: the first, the most economically valuable without silver layer and interfacial brazing alloy (NSL-NBA), the second without silver layer and with an interfacial brazing alloy (NSL-WBA) and the last with silver layer and without interfacial brazing alloy (WSL-NBA). Some fine microstructure observations and various mechanical and electrical endurance expertise tests for the realised bonds of every configuration have made it possible to show that only the WSL-NBA assembling was equivalent to the reference WSL-WBA. For the other two configurations, the absence of the silver layer on the CM involves enrichment mechanisms in SnO2 at the CM-support interface favours the fragility of the bond. The effort for the retained Electrokinetic-Thermal model has focused on the modelling of the interfacial conditions. Two approaches have been proposed for modelling the electrothermal phenomena at the static dissipative interfaces presents in assemblies: a macroscopic model with surfaces parameters and a mesoscopic model with volumes parameters and contacts layers. A consequent campaign of characterisation of physical properties and electrical and thermal contact resistances depending on the pressure and the temperature has permitted to complete the input data of the model. The resistance welding operation of the WSL-NBA configuration has been simulated with the help of the Sysweld™ finite elements software. Thermals kinetics measured in the CM and the support have permitted to validate the model. In the case of the WSL-NBA configuration, the model has permitted to reveal the essential role of ignition played by the electrical contact resistances (ECR) at the electrode/CM and rivet/electrode interfaces

Texto completoAllergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to nickel (Ni+2) is a inflammatory dermatosis, common in industrialized countries. It involves the activation of nickel-specific T cells, followed by the proliferation and induction of a mixed profile of both proinflammatory and regulatory cytokines, suggesting that several T cell subtypes (helper - Th and cytotoxic - Tc) are involved in the immune response. This study aimed to analyze the cytokines TNF-alfa, INF-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17 and IL-23 using the immunohistochemistry technique in order to try to identify the prevalence of one or more T cell subtypes (Th/Tc) in the chronic and acute eczema of patients with ACD to Ni+2. We evaluated 20 patients (17 women and 3 men, median age of 46 years) with chronic eczema, by the patient\'s daily contact with Ni+2. Two skin biopsies were collected in each of the 20 patients, the first at the site of the chronic eczema to Ni+2, prior to the application of the contact test (CT); and the second at the site of acute eczema caused by CT with nickel sulphate, 48 hours after its fixation in the strong positive (++) or very strong positive (+++) readings. There were 160 samples of acute eczema and 160 of chronic eczema, a total of 320 samples. Only three samples were excluded due to some kind of technical failure, such as detachment of the skin cuts from the microscope slide. Statistical software STATA version 13 was used to analyze the data. The stained samples showed positive results for the eight cytokines studied, and these presented heterogeneous values. This heterogeneity was measured by the coefficient of variation, indicating the variability of the data set obtained. TNF-alfa, IFN-y, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-17 had a higher prevalence in chronic eczema than in acute eczema, IL-2 and IL-23 were more prevalent in acute eczema compared to chronic eczema and IL-10 presented similar prevalence in both acute and chronic eczema, however, a very low prevalence in both eczema. TNF-alfa was the most prevalent cytokine in chronic eczema and IL-2 was the most prevalent in acute eczema. However, these prevalences were statistically significant only for IL-4 and IL-13. In chronic and acute eczema, we observed the presence of a mixed cytokine profile of the T cell subtypes (Th/Tc), suggesting that immune responses are expressed at the same time. However, further studies are needed for a broader understanding of the cytokine profile in ACD to Ni+2, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches

Resumo: Com a necessidade da diminuição do tempo de projeto, a utilização de modelos computacionais para simulação de componentes mecânicos se torna rota obrigatória para se evitar excessivos testes físicos. Com base nesta premissa, se torna necessário estudar a dinâmica de componentes anteriormente considerados rígidos, como mancais de elementos rolantes, e assim conhecer sua influência sobre o sistema completo. Assim, utilizando um modelo por diferenças finitas em múltiplos níveis, foi avaliada a condição de lubrificação no contato em rolamentos sujeitos a lubrificação Elastohidrodinâmica (EHD) transiente. Desta forma foi possível caracterizar dinamicamente o contato, aproximando o filme de óleo a um conjunto de mola e amortecedor não lineares. Portanto introduz-se um elo flexível ao mancal, possibilitando a sua análise dinâmica como parte do sistema.
Abstract: With the need of time reduction on mechanical projects, the use of computational models for the analysis of mechanical components becomes mandatory in order to avoid excessive physical tests. Based on this assumption, is necessary to study the dynamic of previously assumed rigid components, as the rolling elements bearings, and thus knowing its influence on the complete system. Utilizing a multi-level finite difference method, the lubrication condition on the contact in bearings under Elastohydrodynamic (EHD) transient lubrication was evaluated. Therefore the dynamic characterization of the contact was possible, adjusting the oil film to a nonlinear spring-damper set. Hence a flexible joint is introduced in the bearing, making it possible its dynamic analyses as part of the system.

Texto completoThis work aims to study wettability and permeability for tropical wood species (Pinus elliotti, Araucaria angustifolia, Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus citriodora).The adhesive wettability is an important parameter for characterizing different wood species and depends on factors such as cleaning state of the wood surface, orientation of the wood fibers, type of sample (sapwood or heartwood), drying, thermal and chemical treatments, surface roughness, etc. First, we investigated the wettability of the four tropical wood species by measuring the apparent contact angles of different solvents on the wood surfaces. The samples were heat treated from 100 to 200 °C for 8 h, and the contact angles measured by the sessile drop method with a home-made goniometer. For samples heat-treated below 200 °C, higher values of contact angles were obtained, indicating a hydrophobic character for thermal treated woods. After this temperature, the wood degradation took place. For permeability experiments, a flow of air was used for wood samples with closed and open pores. An increase of 82% in flow was verified for open pores woods such as Eucalyptus citriodora. Our results allowed us to detect considerable changes on wood wettability and permeability and that are powerful information for conservation and use of these woods.

Texto completoSeveral studies in the last decades of the 20th and early 21st century show that, in Latin America and the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, there is a clear decline in the use of the future simple (cantaré) to express prospective events; the periphrastic construction IR A +INFINITIVO (voy a cantar) prevailing over it (Miró & Pineda, 1990; Gómez Manzano, 1992; Almeida & Diaz, 1998; Troy Déniz, 1998; Sedano, 2006; Melis 2006). However, in the Catalan-speaking territories it is considered that, in contrast to general Spanish (Peninsular and American), the tendency is the opposite: the periphrastic structure is less productive than the synthetic (Ramirez-Parra & Blas Arroyo, 2000; Buzón García, 2013, in Valencia, and Illamola, 2008, 2013 in Catalonia). The first aim of this doctoral thesis is to analyze, on the one hand, the distribution of the synthetic form (futuro simple) and the periphrastic construction (IR A + INFINITIVO) in prospective contexts, in order to see to what extent the described tendency for general Spanish remains. And, on the other hand, to study this variation in the context of language contact phenomena, by means of an oral corpus of 11-16 year old Spanish-Catalan individuals, from two cities in Catalonia —Mataró and Manlleu—, and at two different moments: during 6th grade and, four years later, when they were in 4th grade of ESO. It is assumed, therefore, that the L1 of the informants is one of the factors that influences the use of one or other variant for expressing the future. Now, apart from the classic variables used by variationist studies (sex, age), we include new independent variables as potential determinants of this particular use in order to better understand this phenomenon; namely use of Spanish in the family, use of Spanish in interactions between friends, declared oral competence and the consumption of TV programs in Spanish and Catalan. All these variables affect the uses and linguistic practices of individuals and, consequently, determine to a greater or lesser extent the use of simple future indicative and periphrastic construction. In conclusion, this thesis finds, first, that the individuals analyzed used the FS to a high degree, demonstrating that the tendency is clearly the opposite to that found in monolingual Spanish areas. Therefore, we can consider it a phenomenon of linguistic convergence where the Spanish linguistic system is gradually approaching that of Catalan. And, second, that the factor that most significantly affects the use of the periphrastic construction is sex, although there is a correlation between the use of IR A + INFINITIVO and L1, declared oral competence in Spanish and TV programs in Spanish: the higher the presence of Spanish in these areas, the greater the production of FA.

Texto completoFor more than a century, rail corrugation has been exposed as one of the most serious problems experienced in railway networks. It also comes with a series of problems for maintenance, such as rolling noises and structural vibrations that can reduce lifetime of both train and track. This periodical phenomenon on rail surface is closely linked to wheel-rail contact dynamic, which depends on friction, train dynamics… To better understand corrugation birth conditions, a numerical model is suggested to complement the experimental limitations and to instrument a wheel-rail contact both locally and dynamically. At first, an appropriate tool was chosen to create the dynamic wheel-rail contact model to reproduce straight-track corrugation, also called “short-pitch” corrugation. The implicit dynamic finite element code Abaqus was chosen to investigate the dynamic local contact conditions. Both the origin and the evolution of straight-track corrugation under transient conditions (acceleration / deceleration) are studied. The parametrical sensibility of corrugation is thus investigated both with single/multiple wheel passing(s) and with geometric defect. A stick-slip phenomenon, linked to both wheel and rail dynamics coupled through the contact, is identified as the root of straight-track corrugation under transient conditions. Secondly, results obtained with the previous model have highlighted a quick decrease of corrugation amplitude with the increase of wheel passings over the rail. This last result seems to be in contradiction with reality. This problem comes from the difficulty to reliably manage contact dynamics, and particularly with local impacts, with the use of classical finite element models such as the one implemented in Abaqus. To compensate for this lack, a mass redistribution method is implemented in Abaqus and used with the previous case. The results show a more realistic corrugation growth according to the number of wheel passings
