The lecture will address wave-based approaches to the design of architected structures, with a focus on applications in vibroacoustic control. The topic is of great relevance to engineering, since the reduction of vibrations in mechanical structures and the resulting sound radiation represents a crucial challenge in sectors such as transportation industry. In these areas, the search for lower weight and greater energy efficiency limits the use of heavy viscoelastic coatings, traditionally applied to attenuate noise and vibrations.

O Professor Pelat will present alternative techniques capable of designing elastic wave propagation properties in structures, inducing physical effects that contribute to mitigate vibroacoustic fields. Among the strategies discussed are:

• Modulation of the thickness of structures, exploring the Acoustic Black Hole effect and Bragg diffraction filtering;
• Metastructures composed of elementary beams and plates, inspired by the Herschel-Quincke principle and lattice materials.

These methodologies are investigated from theoretical and numerical models, which analyze phenomena in terms of both waves and modes. Furthermore, optimization procedures are employed to design experimental prototypes adapted to real-world application contexts and evaluate their effectiveness.

The event is an opportunity to students, researchers and professionals interested in acoustics, vibrations and materials engineering learn about recent advances in the field and discuss innovative solutions with one of the international experts in the field.

Order date: 20/08/2025 (Wednesday)
Open Hours: 13:30
Location: Acoustics and Vibrations Laboratory (LAVI) - Room I-230

O Mechanical Engineering Program invites everyone to participate in the lecture "Hydrodynamics of poroelastic hydrogels: theory and biomicrofluidic applications", presented by Professor James J. Feng (University of British Columbia).

Order date: August 08, 2025 (Friday)
Open Hours: 13h30min
Location: Technology Center, Block I - room -241 - University City, Fundão Island

Hydrogels are polymer networks swollen by an aqueous solvent. For their softness, porosity and biocompatibility, they are finding exciting applications in many fields, eg, as sensor and actuator, and as cell scaffolds in tissue engineering. Two aspects of hydrogel mechanics have been studied separately in the past. The first is the swelling of gels in a quiescent solvent bath triggered by an environmental stimulus such as a change in temperature or pH, and the second is the solvent flow around and into a gel, driven by an external pressure gradient or moving boundary. As both aspects coexist and indeed interact with each other in emerging applications, we have developed a poroelasticity model that integrates these two aspects into a single framework. 

In this talk, I will first describe the theoretical model, and then demonstrate how the coupling between swelling and flow gives rise to novel physics in simple flows. In particular, we use finite elements to solve for flow through gels containing biological cells modeled as hyperelastic inclusions. In geometries that occur frequently in microfluidic cell cultures, we examine how the perfusion engenders interstitial flow in the gels that displaces and deforms the embedded cells. This provides a tool to design the geometry and flow conditions to achieve optimal flow and stress fields inside the hydrogels and around the cells.

About the Speaker: 
James J. Feng received his BS (1985) and MS (1988) degrees from Peking University in Beijing, and his Ph.D. (1995) from the University of Minnesota, all in Fluid Mechanics. After a postdoctoral stint at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he was appointed an associate professor in 1998 at the Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics in New York City. In 2004, he moved to the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, with a joint appointment in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Mathematics. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, and a recipient of the CAIMS Research Prize (Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society). His current research covers multiphase and interfacial fluid dynamics, and biomechanics of cells and tissues.

Today, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, an important date for us to reflect on the gender equity in all areas of knowledge. Gender equity transcends mere equality of opportunity; it is a commitment to transforming social structures to ensure that women have equal access to development in research, innovation and leadershipOn the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, it is essential to celebrate initiatives that promote the presence of women in various fields of knowledge.

The project Girls in Science - UFRJ, founded in 2017 by the historian Gabriella da Silva MendesThe project emerged to inspire girls to pursue careers in science. Resulting from her master's research, the project aims not only to inspire but also to provide tools that make innovation more accessible. accessible and diverse.

Gabriella explains that the idea for the project arose from a discomfort with the inequalities faced by women in science, detected during her activities in a public school in Rio de Janeiro. She emphasizes that gender equality requires a careful analysis of the needs and differences between genders and advocates for actions that promote it. hiring and promotion of women to prominent positions..

The project emphasizes the importance of bringing female models from various scientific fields, breaking gender stereotypes ...and showing that all areas are relevant. Gabriella also notes the need for early encouragement and highlights historical female figures who served as inspiration, such as... Marie Curie e mother Jemison.

To encourage girls and young women to persevere in academia, Gabriella suggests practical experiencesContact with professionals in the areas STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), and the sharing of resources that promote the female empowerment in these fields. Today, she continues her academic career, participating in projects aimed at increasing female representation in science.

The evaluation of undergraduate courses at UFRJ exceeded expectations, with 160 out of 175 courses received grades of 4 and 5.In 2020, there were 122 courses with these grades, and the target for the following monitoring was 132, but the result achieved 91,4% of courses with the highest ratings..

The concepts are obtained by National Student Performance Examination (Enade) and through the recognition process of MECwhich analyzes pedagogical project, faculty and infrastructure. Institutional Educational Attorney's Office da UFRJ It provides training for coordinators and supports students during assessments.

More than 18 kilometers separate Ilha do Fundão and the city of Tokyo, where the UFRJ robotics team, MinervaBots, achieved its most recent accomplishment: winning a competition in a country that is a leader in the field.e. Last December, students Anne Victória Rodrigues da Costa, from Mechanical Engineering, and Lígia Calina Bueno Bonifácio, from Electronic and Computer Engineering, became world champions in the Robot Sumo Tournament. The team's robot, nicknamed Zé Pequeno, had the best performance among more than 63 participating nationalities. Despite the recent victories, Zé Pequeno's history in the arenas is intertwined with the very origins of the team, which has been active for 13 years.

Created in 2012, the team uses the theoretical content learned in the classroom to build robots that participate in national and international robotics competitions. In total, it already has more than 50 students, both undergraduate and graduate, and participates in nine categories in various tournaments. In the best "UFC" style, robot combat has categories divided by weight and size. Minerva stands out in four of them: combat, sumo, trekking, and line follower. In the combat category, in which the objective is to destroy or damage the opponent's device, the team has won seven trophies. In the category competed in by Anne and Lígia, nicknamed mini sumo, the winner is the one who removes their rival from the arena first. In this modality alone, Minerva has accumulated 10 podium finishes, three of them in first place.

The team is currently led by Micaela Luz, a student of Electronic and Computer Engineering, and Ryan Sales, from the Control and Automation Engineering course. As leaders, they coordinate those responsible for the projects of each competition device. “No one owns a robot that is solely their own; it’s a division of responsibility among other members,” explains Micaela. “We have members who look at what we need to improve in competitions, and this information is passed on to all members who work with a robot.”

This Friday, 06/09, happened the Seminar "Multi-fidelity Autoencoders for Aerodynamic Analysis" on Dr. Ettore Saetta, University of Naples Federico II No. Mechanical Engineering Program at COPPE/UFRJ, as part of the traditional seminars Arthur Palmeira Ripper. She wrote about a Machine Learning technique which has been gaining prominence in engineering literature and related areas, namely Autoencoders. In this technique, data is compressed by obtaining the latent space, a compact set of variables that condenses the information of a field (Encoder) and can recover this same field through decompression (Decoder). This procedure can be interpreted as a non-linear version of the technique known as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD).

O Dr. Saetta showed how Autoencoders can be used in aerodynamics problems, exemplifying with the flow around airplane wings, where variables such as angle of attack and wing thickness were analyzed. The results showed excellent prediction and computational cost savings. The discussions after the presentation generated insights into new avenues to be explored. This work was developed in collaboration with Stanford University and showed the promising potential in the use of Autoencoders.

In name of Mechanical Engineering Program at COPPE/UFRJ, I thank the Dr. Saetta from excellent presentation and the opportunity for discussions on the subject.

Urban Integration of Airports through Noise Control

Speaker: Prof. Jules Ghislain Slama

SUMMARY:

At the same time that an airport brings several benefits for nearby populations, it is also a extensive source of noise, responsible for adverse effects. Noise control in the vicinity of airports is a complex multidisciplinary problem, with several possible ways of approach. In view of this complexity, ICAO - The International Civil Aviation Organization proposes in Resolution A33 / 7, the call “Balanced Approach” for airport noise management. They are four aspects considered: Noise control at source (quieter aircraft), Land use planning and management (noise zoning), Adoption of operational procedures for noise reduction (landing, takeoff and change of routes), Operations restrictions (airport operating hours restrictions). The conference aims to present some contribuições do Study group in Airport Noise on the subject. During research work developed with the Infrared, various aspects of the issue of Airport Noise Control were treated and resulted in dissertations, theses, final projects and publications. We can mention: the introduction of new curves of noise in the metrics LAeqD e LAeqN (A-weighted equivalent level, day or night, respectively) used to characterize airport noise in the area surrounding the airport, definition of Airport Acoustic Amplitude based on the relationship between daytime and nighttime aircraft movements and the definition of an airport's acoustic influence area. Studies were also carried out on compatibility between the urban zoning and airport noise. Important results concerning the issue of heliport zoning were produced. The use of expert systems was investigated. Fuzzy to define discomfort from metrics LAeqD and LAeqN and the application of transforms wavelet for sound event detection aeronautical and aircraft identification. The theory of differentially flat systems was used to generate the inputs of guidance of an aircraft from a glide path relative to an operational procedure with noise reduction.
