The following application proposes Dr. Robert Birch as a Fellowship Research Visitor (RV) who will, over a 12-month period, advise and assist the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in establishing a new laboratory facility devoted to the study of advanced materials. This new laboratory, to be known as the 'Laboratory of Advanced Structures (LAS)', will primarily investigate the performance…
In this joint CECS/UFABC and EPUSP research project, we intend to study the effects of geometric nonlinearities on vibrations of rotating machines support structures. Dynamic characteristics of structures depend on their stiffness and mass. With those, we determine their natural frequencies and modes of free vibrations. Nevertheless, the initial stiffness of a structure, computed in its u…

We intend, in this Project, to study and implement computational schemes to minimize the mass of trussed metal structures of aerospace vehicles, under self-weight and aerodynamic loadings. Mass minimization is optimization problem. We will develop computational algorithms using the Microsoft Excel Solver. The design variables are the diameter and wall thickness of the tubular members of t…
Due to the great geographic dimensions of Brazil, and to the great amount of Electrical Transmission Lines (LT), totalizing thousand of kilometers in the country, one strong concern of the companies energy concessionaires respects the state of maintenance of the structures of the LT's (currently exists a special concern with the lines that already present aging signals, due to a long peri…
We intend in this work to study and program the optimization of reinforced concrete eolic towers and their respective foundations, submitted to the wind and turbines dynamic loading. The costs of the structures and foundations will be minimized. The problem of cost minimization is an optimization problem. Computational programs, based on the Augmented Lagrangian Method (Chahande and Arora…
