The analysis considered surface and internal initiation processes, including the impact of residual stresses introduced by shot peening. Key findings include the ability of the methodology to analyze the variables influencing fatigue resistance and failure configuration, the competition between surface and internal fracture processes, the limitation of residual stresses, the importance of minimizing the maximum inclusion size, and the potential for enhancing the propagation threshold for long cracks. The employed method - ology facilitates not only the quantification but also the comprehension of the influence of the intrinsic material resistance on the fracture process.","PeriodicalId":18246,"journal":{"name":"Matéria (Rio de Janeiro)","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91029470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Outros estudos, em alumínio, demonstraram que quando anodizado e selado pelo processo à quente, promove aumento da sua resistência à corrosão. No entanto, não se tem relatos na literatura sobre selagem à quente em zamac anodizado. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar o efeito da selagem, quanto a resistência de corrosão, sobre zamac anodizado. Para tanto, peças de zamac 5 lixadas e polidas industrialmente foram anodizadas em eletrólito 0,3 M de ácido oxálico em diferentes tempos (5, 30 e 60 minutos), e posteriormente seladas em H2O destilada à 90ºC por uma hora. As peças foram analisadas por técnicas morfológicas e de corrosão. Os resultados mostraram que com o aumento do tempo de anodização os cristalitos maiores dissolvem-se originando cristalitos menores até a formação de camada lisa. Além disso, o processo de selagem promoveu a hidratação dos produtos anodizados do zamac. No entanto, com o aumento do tempo de anodização, a camada de óxido ficou mais compacta, devido aos menores cristalitos, com diminuição da espessura, devido à camada lisa. Isso resultou no melhor desempenho anticorrosivo da amostra anodizada por 5 minutos e selada.","PeriodicalId":18246,"journal":{"name":"Matéria (Rio de Janeiro)","volume":"1217 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80341129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For all treatment conditions, the etching of the samples was observed, as evidenced by the mass loss of the specimens and by following the gaseous by-products of reactions employing a mass spectrometer coupled to the reaction chamber. Optical emission spectroscopy followed the emission lines of oxygen active species. Function-alization of the specimens was also observed, as shown by the results obtained by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and through XRD analysis. A liquid phase was formed for samples treated at 0.6 and 1.0 Torr, which favored the functionalization process and broadened the band present in the region from 1750 to 1700 cm –1 , resulting in amorphous phases. An increase in the intensity of the characteristic peaks of esters was also observed.

The cavitation of the hydraulic machinery units can lead to the increased vibration, reduced efficiency, and cavitation erosion of blades. Therefore, a method is needed to determine the incipient cavitation of hydraulic machinery runner blades. This study is initiated from the acoustic characteristics of bubbles generated by the cavitation of model hydraulic turbines and the characteristics of radiated sound energy during cavitation. The characteristics of cavitation noise are studied. After the qualitative analysis of the high-and low-frequency energy distribution patterns of cavitation noise signals before and after cavitation, a mathematical model of the time-frequency characteristics of these signals is proposed using the energy distribution analysis method. The feature information is extracted from the cavitation noise signals and used to judge the occurrence of incipient cavitation in model turbine runner blades. Based on this method, an online cavitation monitoring system is constructed, and comparative tests are carried out on a model pump turbine and Francis turbine. It is found that the results of the proposed method for the judgment of incipient cavitation are highly consistent with those of traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":18246,"journal":{"name":"Matéria (Rio de Janeiro)","volume":"78 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74588493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical tests (density, water absorption, and thickness swelling) and mechanical tests (static bending) were carried out in four treatments, which varied the fiber and cement contents. It was found that treatment with natural coconut fiber had the lowest density value, 0.59 g/cm 3 , and treatment with industrial coconut fiber had the lowest water absorption value for the times and times of 2 and 24 h, 0.19, and 0.38%, respectively, and the treatment with wood particles, the highest values of modulus of elasticity and rupture, 1,897 MPa and 2.44 MPa.
