Shape Memory Alloys are smart materials that have the ability to recover large deformations when compared to common metallic materials such as steel and titanium. Among these alloys, the most common belong to the Ni-Ti ...

Over the years, with the construction of increasingly longer and lighter bridges, dynamic behavior becomes a limiting factor in the design of these structures. Therefore, it is important that structural vibration control ...

The separators are equipments used in the primary processing of the petroleum industry to separate the multiphase mixture from the producing wells. The work evaluated the effect of the internal devices of the separator ...

The corrosive process tends to degrade the metallic materials causing them to lose their mechanical properties and become unsuitable for their initial purpose. One of the corrosion prevention techniques is the use of ...

The high recyclability of plastic materials has increasingly driven the formation of recycledbased products, which has become an eco-sustainable and cost-effective alternative for companies use plastics as now materials. ...

Continuous casting is an innovative casting technology where the alloy is cast in the partially solidified state after undergoing mechanical stirring. This process allows the production of more homogeneous castings of ...

This work concerns the design, construction and study of the performance of a pilot scale equipment for drying sugarcane bagasse (by-product of sugar mills, distilleries and sugar mills). Sugarcane bagasse is found at the ...

A pulsatile flow pumping system allows replicating forms hydraulic flow wave, with reasonable accuracy for various simulations, for example physiological blood flows, inflows of low pressure hydraulic systems, etc. An ...

Cashew is a fruit with high nutritional value and great economic importance in the Northeast region of Brazil, however, it is highly perishable. There are several methods of conservation, being the freezing of the most ...

In recent years, cyclones have been used as a modern drying technology. In this sense, this research proposes a numerical study to describe drying of sugarcane bagasse, using the cyclone as dryer. To this end, it was adopted ...
