Modelling and Numerical Simulation via Variational Calculus

The finite element computational simulation methodology, starting with the variational formulation of the problem, allows students to quickly familiarize themselves with finite element theory, to solve complex partial differential equations, to implement their own customized software to simulate a specific physical phenomenon required in their research, and to learn the necessity and importance of the variational calculus. It is a different approach in relation to what is present in the current finite element computational simulation commercial software, which contains the implementation of the final discrete (matrix) formulation of a problem, thus limiting the physical phenomena (differential equations) that can be modeled only to those problems already implemented in the Software. In the new approach we start with the variational formulation, thus allowing more flexibility and generality in the computational simulation of the physical phenomena (partial differential equations). The aim of this course is to teach the concepts of a finite element computational simulation methodology that allows starting from the variational formulation of the problem to solve partial differential equations. In this way, concepts will be explored on the finite element method, variational calculation, high order linear system solution techniques and other concepts involved in the method. As a tool will be used FENICS software (free license), which is a recent computational tool that follows the concept of modeling from the variational formulation.

Statistical Process Monitoring

With the growth of the globalization and new opening markets, the concern of the companies to monitor the quality of the products and/or services has increased as quality becomes a decisive factor to guarantee its permanence in the market. Consequently, companies are increasingly driven to invest in the management and technologies to intensify their market competitiveness and provide an increase in the quality and cost /benefit of your products and/or services. In this scenario, statistical methods, mainly the control charts, have become an indispensable tool when they are used to monitor the quality of products and/or services. Control charts was proposed by Walter Shewhart at 30s and traditionally they have been used to monitor production process but recently been employed to monitor other types of process like service, surveillance of diseases. The control charts can be classified in different manners. They may be according to the number of quality characteristics as univariate control chart when there is a single quality characteristic of interest or multivariate control chart when more than one quality characteristic is monitored. Or according to the nature of quality characteristic we have attribute control chart (when the nature is qualitative) and variable control chart (when involves measurement). Or if the monitored statistic takes into account the previous observations (as the CUSUM type control chart or EWMA type control chart) or not (only the current observation, called Shewhart type control chart). Motivated by the increase of the number of the contributions on this subject and the relevance of this tool in the monitoring of industrial process, the new control charts and improvement in the existed ones have been continuously proposed by many researchers. The aim of this course is to present the main types of control charts and how design them adequately in order to meet desirable performance metrics. The aim of this course is to present the main tools used to monitor statistically a process. Engineering School (EP) São Paulo main campus Development of statistical concepts and theory underlying procedures used in quality control applications: error of type I and II; run length; average run length. Process improvement strategies, univariate control charts for process monitoring: Shewhart type control chart, Cumulative sum type control chart, EWMA type control chart, adaptative type control chart, multivariate process monitoring, profile monitoring, health-related surveillance, Markov chains: steady state, zero state, the use of basic time series models.

Engineering Component Design

This course stresses on one aspect of design which is the design for strength. Other aspects of design are touched on the surface. The design for strength means determining the appropriate size and material of structures or components to be designed so that they are free from mechanical failures such as yielding, fracturing and buckling. Students will be exposed with static and dynamic failure theories. As a start, students are to design simple structures that they have encountered before: rod, beam, shaft and thin and thick cylinders. Following that, students will learn how to design mechanical components that include bolts, welding, bearings, gears and belts. The applications of these components in machinery will also be exposed. Throughout the semester, students will be tested with open-ended design problems that may come in forms of tutorial, test and projects 1. Classify material’s properties and materials for engineering use 2. Ability to analyze and synthesis engineering knowledge in design of engineering devices. 3. Convey the analysis results not only to team members but also to instructors 4. Presenting the idea of project based on specific case study.
