Residential painting is a primary service widely performed anywhere in the world. The objective of the project was to develop equipment aimed at facilitating this task, adding a certain degree of automation to the stages ...

In Brazil, not all Engineering graduates work in careers typical of their area of study. Each year, the number of vacancies in Engineering schools increases, meanwhile Brazil experiences de-industrialization in recent ...

In machining processes the feed and cut movement are the main responsible for the power consumption, justifying a deep study about it in mechanical engineering courses. The power consumption is due to the machining forces ...

Machining processes dominate the manufacturing industry, being vital for the delivery consumer goods with reliability and quality, but some self-excited phenomenon such as chatter are limiting in the delivery of these ...

Titanium alloys are of great importance as biomaterials due to their high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Titanium has a low elasticity modulus when compared to steel alloys of similar mechanical resistance, ...

Public universities have a limited budget, which results on the acquisition difficulty of some equipment needed for laboratory practices. Due to the shortage of equipment, activities need to be adapted or ...

A critical parameter in machining processes is the final surface quality of the machined part, directly related to self-excited vibrations that arise in these processes due to the interaction between the cutting tool and ...

The Brazilian transport matrix is mainly composed of road transport, meaning that the country has more than 1.7 million kilometers of highways, of which 66% have problems in their state of conservation. Monitoring the ...

In order to enhance the operational efficiency of mechanical components, predictive maintenance has emerged as a critical technique for detecting potential failures before they lead to severe consequences such as accidents, ...

This work describes the design of a gearbox for a Baja SAE vehicle, for the Baja UFSCar team, and a study to measure the impact of the rotational inertia of the transmission system on the prototype's performance. The ...
