Campus de Azurém, 4810 Guimarães, Portugal – E-mail: vmsaraiv@eng.uminho.pt

The author presents an alternative design solution for an automatic feeding/handling system for a sawing machine to cut aluminium profiles. The major problems arose from the need to handle profiles of widely differing shape, and also from the need of compatibility with the rest of the machine, previously designed, mainly concerning space availability. The Total Design approach has been used to carry out this project. The final design proposal is a combination of pneumatic, electric and electronic systems and components, essentially consisting of a pneumatic gripper driven by a servo-motor.

Keywords: Sawing Machine, Aluminium Profiles, Design Process.

In the conceptual design of a product must be a constant worry about the decision taking effect over the product’s costs during its life cycle stages. The selection stages of the best product functional structure and the more adequate alternative solution of the conceptual design are fundamental for its success (AKAO, 1990). In the work, it will be presented an estimating model of products’ costs, which aims to provide subsidies for decision taking and make possible the selection of a functional structure and a product alternative solution, more adequate to the target cost.

Grains transport by forced mechanic vibration in vibrating courses or pools is often used in agro-industries, mining and feeding companies. The design of a two-phase grain sharer by mechanical vibrations was stimulated by the necessity of some recycling companies. Using a mathematical model of the process a simulation code of a two-phase grain sharer pool has been developed. In a preliminary analysis the most important variable involved in the process has been detected, followed by a proposition of a mechanical model to satisfy the system’ dynamics. With the help of the mechanical model, the accelerating condition in the vibration surface could be obtained, just by simulating the grain sharer process, and employing the optimal aspect ratio for a grain sharer pool design.

The present work has like main objective the necessary parameter's evaluation to development of simple and portable coffee (Coffea arabica L., Coffea canephora Pierre) harvester machine by aerodynamic suction. The parameter's evaluation was done by means of the physical-mathematical model elaboration, prototype design and assembly, which was field tested at coffee harvest time. The results showed the coffee grains need flow velocity near 270 m/s for efficient suction, and the leafs are injured close by 60 m/s flow velocity band. These results permit the follow conclusions: a) the main objective, the harvest machine project parameters identification and quantification, was successfully performed; b) the proposed physical-mathematical model was appropriated, anticipating the velocity flow value necessary for efficient coffee grain suction; c) the methodology used at this study can be adopted in others harvest machines project development process, with distinct target objectives, like different fruits, fibres (such as Chorisia speciosa fibres), leafs, or flowers with commercial value.

In this work the driving shaft of an injection pump is modeled as a flexible rotor using the Finite Element Method. Strains acting on the shaft due to each one of the mechanisms that are coupled to it (driving gear, hydrodynamic bearings, vane type pump, regulator gear and cam) are extensively studied so that the mathematical model faithfully reproduces the dynamic loadings of the injection pump. Theoretical and experimental analysis are conducted in three distinct operating conditions: injection pump operating at 2600 rpm, 2000 rpm, and 1500 rpm. The driving torque and the loading of hydrodynamic bearings, obtained by means of experimental mechanical tests, are used as parameters for comparisons.

The traction drives continuously variable transmission operate in the high-contact-stress. The achievement of a given number of stress repetitions without failures can only be assigned a probability. Most drives are rated against the 90% probability of surviving the number of stress repetitions associated with the rated number of hours of operation at the rated speed and load. A contact fatigue life analysis for traction drives based on a modified Lundberg-Palmgren fatigue theory and numerical simulations of the Man+Continuosly Variable Transmission+Bicycle system for three different types of route and two value of power are used to predict the life of this transmission on a bicycle

The main objective of this work is the development of a Software (Visual Basic 3.0) to analyse the influence of the seal geometry in its friction loss : volumetric flow and pressure drop across the seal. The Software is based on the evaluation of the friction factor, which is calculated using an expression corresponding to the Moody Diagram. The Software results are the seal length, pressure drop, volumetric flow and the data to build diagrams that makes clear the influence of seal geometry in friction loss. These diagrams show the variation of pressure drop and volumetric flow with the seal length and with the seal clearance. So, it is possible to obtain data that can guide the choose of a better geometry corresponding with the situation the user wishes. For example, a geometry that minimize the friction loss.

In scientific and technological work two kinds of apparatus are normally used to obtain high pressure up to 7 GPa: cylindrical pistons or conic pistons. These setup allows pressures much higher than the limited rupture of materials which piece are made of. This is possible due to application of a special device called compound vessel. The present work analyses the construction, under normal working pressure, the junction between sector are kept closed and the junction surfaces have normal stress close to zero. The obtained correlation permits the determination, after fabrication and under loading, of stress and strain states of internal sector of the segmented rings compound vessel. It was necessary to design a special profile for the side surface of the sectors to obtain this proposed condition.

The development cycle of a satellite launch vehicle is a task that requires considerable maturity and commitment of the design team. The increasing complexity of the tasks involved and the frequent design changes do create the need for attempts to reduce the development cycle period as well as to implement their rational management. Although one may consider the aerospace industry as a highly developed one, it keeps its structure in a sequential manner, where the events quite often do not relate to each other, thus preventing the aerospace industry to benefit from effort and rework minimisation. This paper presents a retrospective analysis of the management and design tools recently used in the Brazilian aerospace projects and suggests the utilisation of some concurrent engineering tools which could enhance the performance and productivity of future projects.

An engineering design consists of comprehensible design requirements and it should outline possible solutions, assess them and select the best alternative. Today’s designer must be skilled and have a vast knowledge and a command of all external and internal influences around him and must always aim at achieving an efficient and competitive product at a low cost. The use, however, of one of the several well-known methodologies such as: Asimov; Pahl&Beitz; VDI 2221; among others, facilitates the designer’s job. On the other hand, is it worth having an efficient and competitive product that is not available at one specific moment of its lifespan? The temporal quality or life of a certain system is directly related to its availability, which is a direct function of the reliability and maintainability; aspects normally raised in specific areas such as in the nuclear, aeronautics and electronics areas. An assessment of the different design approaches raised show, however, that neither of these models focuses clearly on the specific use of the reliability in the several design stages, which proves the need of a deeper study of such aspect in the design process.

This paper presents the development of the conceptual design of a pilot reactor for metallic materials plasma processing. The users and design requirements of the reactor were established based on the results obtained from researches developed at the Materials Laboratory / Plasma Division / UFSC, with emphasis on plasma sintering of metallic materials. To these informations were applied organization and classification methodologies, such as the quality function deployment QFD, to define and establish the order of priorities of design specifications. Based on these specifications and using a functional analysis method, a functional model was developed, containing the following main partial functions: vacuum generation; energy supply; gas mixture supply; process containment; structural function; process control. This functional model promotes an electrical discharge environment in abnormal regime having the processing components as the cathode, in wich a set of parameters, such as pressure, temperature, gas flows, voltage and current are controlled during the process cycle, in order to reproduce the route that ensures the desired properties in the final product. From the functional model was built a morphological chart to generate alternative conceptions and these conceptions were submitted to a selection procedure to define the most suitable conceptual solution for the reactor.

The Theory of Elasticity is applied to the Mechanics of the Contact on this paper, the equations for knowing the magnitude of the forces in the indentation process are developed. The pressures, that are generated upon producing the notches, are calculated based on the mechanics of the contact and the boundary conditions as well as the properties of the material. The purpose is to apply these equations for the designing of the Indentation machine. The equations that describe the behavior of the stress in the edges of the notches of the indenter roller are used to compare the stress when its angles changes.
