- Phenomenological model of particulate matter emission from direct injection diesel engines(2005-07-05) ARGACHOY, C.; PIMENTA, A. P.A new phenomenological model is introduced by applying established conceptual models for direct injection combustion to develop a mathematical description of events. The model has the capability to predict particulate mass output, as well as a particulate mass history over a single combustion event. The model was developed in a Matlab-Simulink environment to promote modularity. Results of particulate mass output from single cylinder laboratory engine, and six-cylinder vehicular engine were used to determine the validity of the predictions made. Although predicted values do not perfectly match measured values, there is certainly reasonable agreement. Copyright © 2005 by ABCM.
- μ-synthesis for unmanned underwater vehicles current disturbance rejection(2011) DE SOUZA, E. C.; MARUYAMA, N.This note focuses attention on a novel approach to disturbance rejection when the μ-synthesis control procedure is applied to Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). Environmental external disturbances simplify to ocean current for a totally submerged vehicle and greatly contributes for hydrodynamical loads and the tether cable disturbance. Our case scenario deals with the incorporation of the sea current disturbance to the plant model employed for control design. In the proposed design method, we substitute the structured unmodeled dynamics uncertainty, which is generally difficult to come up with and eventually utilized to represent external disturbances, by parametric uncertainty, relatively easier and straightforward to come by. The sea-current load parameters are, therefore, treated as parametric uncertainty and fit in the μ design framework. Assuming that both vehicle motion and current direction lie in the horizontal plane, the incoming (to vehicle) current vector sets a horizontal circumference sector in which it may vary. When in the 3D space, current uncertainty renders a cone in space. For validation purposes, the linear controller is simulated with the nonlinear vehicle model.
- Exergy efficiency on incremental stationary bicycle test: A new indicator of exercise performance?(2019-12-01) MADY, C. E. K.; IGARASHI, T. L.; Cyro Albuquerque; SANTOS-SILVA, P. R.; FERNANDWS, A. J.; HERNANDEZ, A. J.© 2019, The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.The first and second laws of the thermodynamics were applied to the human body to evaluate the performance of subjects under different training levels. Ten cyclists were evaluated in the stationary bicycle with the indirect calorimetry analysis to obtain the metabolism on an energy and exergy basis. A distinguishing feature of this article is the evaluation of the exergy efficiency of the body with the knowledge of the real performed power and the internal temperature (measured tympanic temperature and calculated esophagus temperature). Regarding the skin temperature, an infrared camera was used to measure different parts of the body. Therefore, the phenomenological behavior of the body was assessed and used as a basis to apply the exergy analysis. Results indicate that the destroyed exergy can be an indicator of performance when compared with maximum oxygen consumption. Nevertheless, more experiments must be carried out to proper state if there is a correlation. Eventually, the exergy efficiency was calculated for all subjects, and its value was around 23 to 28%.

- Effect of the hardening rules on the creep age forming prediction of 7050 aluminum alloy with experimental verification(2018) Oliveira M.C.; Delijaicov S.; Bortolussi R.© 2018, The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.The creep age forming (CAF) has been used in the aerospace sector due to its attractive characteristics that allows producing a component with low residual stress. The process has been studied from the finite-element simulations which are used mainly to predict the springback. However, to accomplish the simulation, it is necessary to set the CAF constitutive equations in the finite-element software. In addition, it is also necessary to define the hardening rule which is applied to determine the creep strain. This work aims to investigate CAF applying the finite-element analysis with the time-hardening rule and strain-hardening rule and thus predicting creep strain, stress relaxation, and springback. The finite-element simulations were accomplished in dies with single and double curvatures and the blank’s material was the alloy AA7050. Furthermore, the Marin–Pao model was implemented in the MSC.Marc software through a user subroutine. This model was fitted to the creep experimental curves and it generated good agreement with the experimental data. The results of the simulations that used the time-hardening rule were similar to the strain-hardening rule, and therefore, if it had been chosen a hardening rule, it would not have generated a significant impact in the CAF simulation results. At the end, the simulated springback was compared to the experimental springback from the literature and the percentage error ranged from 0.46% to 15.33% that indicate the proximity with the literature data. Moreover, other experimental validation was performed, and when compared to the results of this methodology, the calculated error in springback was 6.3%.
