The "offshore of tomorrow" is being defined in our generation. Awaken by climate change, we were made aware that the exploration of fossil fuels for the sole use of thermal energy cannot be sustainable in the distant future. The effect humanity has played in changing the climate of the planet by the emission of greenhouse gases is a pressing agenda for many, if not all, countries committe…
Several phenomena from engineering and other branches of knowledge are modelled by means of nonlinear equations. In some cases, the linearization of the mathematical models may lead to results without physical meaning. Even though present in a number of problems, studies involving nonlinear dynamics usually are developed under the scope of archetypical oscillators (for example, the Duffin…

Inspired by current problems of fluid-structure interaction in deep-sea water intake risers, currently in vogue for the cooling of oil and gas processing plants in FPSOs, and by divergence and fluttering instabilities of flexible pipes used in the excavation of caverns in salt rock domes, the research project will use an extensive experimental database collected and analyzed within the sc…
The dynamic behavior introduced by internal flow in flexible pipe is an essential problem of Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI). It characterizes an open system, in which Mechanical formulations must include terms related to material transport so that a precise mathematical modeling can be executed. In the master's thesis, the candidate worked with bidimensional nonlinear models of extens…
In the context of oil exploration, flexible pipes (risers) are often used to capture deep water, which is generally colder than the surface, to be used to cool the plant, improving its energy efficiency. These pipes are subject to wave action, platform/ship movements and internal water flow, making their dynamics extremely complex and non-linear. In order to gain a better understanding of…
Gliders are autonomous subsurface navigation platforms, with low energy consumption and great autonomy, capable of operating for months and covering distances of hundreds or thousands of nautical miles. During navigation, gliders perform vertical submergence and emersion trajectories, crossing columns of water with thicknesses typically between 50 m and 1000 m. Thus, when instrumented wit…
A literature review on mathematical modeling of dynamic systems reveals that the main developments on the areas of lumped parameter systems and distributed parameter systems are far apart from each other, from the abstract conception of the models to simulation techniques. If, in one hand, it would be useful to propose an unified point of view for the modeling procedures of both lumped an…

Fundamental principles of mechanics were primarily conceived for constant mass systems and material volumes. The process of constructing a mathematical formalism that is adequate for variable-mass systems has so become an active and particular research field of mechanics. This plan of research goes toward this sense. It refers to a research specially dedicated to investigations regarding …
