This work aims to model the consolidation process of saturated poroelastic media, under the light of Biot's theory, through the coupling of meshless methods. The proposed approach consists of solving each phase of the phenomenon independently within each time interval, by using the&...

This thesis examines the seismic response of gentle slopes in soft clay through centrifuge experiments and numerical modeling. A series of centrifuge tests considering slope angles of 3 and 6 degrees was performed on kaolin clay models. A model preparation methodology was developed ...

Atmospheric models are resources that estimate wind speed and direction. Simulations precision and accuracy vary, among other factors, with local and temporal conditions. In this study, a sensitivity analysis of the WRF model to the adjustment of its physical parameters is carried out.&...

In order to properly control external devices using brain signals recorded noninvasively at the scalp through Electroencephalography (EEG), it is fundamental to establish the difference between movement-related signals and attention-related signals. In this work, we compare electrophysiological measurements...

The micro- and mini-distributed generation (MMGD) has significantly increased after the normative resolution No. 482/2012 in Brazil, the installed capacity surpassed 7 GW in 2021. In the international context, a similar event was observed, whose process generated a cross-subsidy for other&#x...

This article, based on the Marxist approach and work psychodynamics Christophe Dejours, proposes a discussion of the contemporary world of work, under the aegis of neoliberalism, and of the consequences that this brings to the health of the worker, causing suffering not only the&#x...
