    Application of multivariate statistic of U, Th and Pb concentrations and Pb Isotopic signatures in the assessment of geogenic and anthropogenic sources in a U-mineralized area.
    (2019) Vecchia, Adriana Monica Dalla; Lena, Jorge Carvalho de; Ladeira, Ana Cláudia Queiroz
    This work presents a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) study using Pbi- sotope signatures and U, Th and Pb concentrations from groundwater, sedi- ments and rocks (granites and orthogneisses) of the Complex of Lagoa Real (Bahia, Brazil). This area is naturally enriched in U and Th, with the occur- rence of Pb derived from the radioactive decay of the elements (238U, 235U and 232Th) in the form of their stable isotopes 206Pb, 207Pb and 208Pb in addition to the natural isotope 204Pb. Sampling was carried out in the rainy season (De- cember to January) and the points were selected according to regional hy- drology and geology. Thirty samples were analyzed: 12 of groundwater (AP) and 18 of sediments (S). The results show that the use of isotopic ratios allows discrimination between geogenic and anthropogenic samples. This informa- tion is not obtained using only the analysis of concentration data. Statistically, the isotopic data of Pb stand out as an efficient tool in the characterization of sources in the scenario investigated, allowing an effective environmental monitoring and a better management of the mining activities.

    Statistical modeling of fatigue crack growth rate in pre-strained 7475-T7351 aluminum alloy.
    (2008) Al-Rubaie, Kassim Shamil Fadhil; Barroso, Emerson Kellem Lana; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa
    In this study, 7475-T7351 aluminum strips were subjected to two tensile pre-strain levels of 3% and 5%. Using compact tension C(T) specimens, fatigue crack growth tests were conducted under constant amplitude loading at stress ratios of 0.1 and 0.5 in air and at room temperature. Three fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) models, namely, Collipriest, Priddle, and NASGRO were examined. To handle the effect of stress ratio on FCGR, Walker equivalent stress intensity factor model was used. Consequently, generalized Collipriest (GC), generalized Priddle (GP), and generalized NASGRO (GN) models were developed and fitted to the FCGR data. It was shown that both GC and GP models fit the FCGR data in a similar fashion. However, the GP model provided a better fit than the GC model. The GN model was found to be the most appropriate model for the data. Therefore, this model may be suggested for use in critical applications, such as aeronautical structural design.

    Fatigue crack growth analysis of pre-strained 7475–T7351 aluminum alloy.
    (2006) Al-Rubaie, Kassim Shamil Fadhil; Barroso, Emerson Kellem Lana; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa
    Aluminum alloys are widely used in aeronautical design due to their good mechanical properties and low densities. Among these alloys, 7475 (Al–Zn–Mg–Cu), modified from 7075, is successfully used due to strength similar to that of 7075 and superior fracture toughness. In this study, strips of 7475–T7351 were subjected to two tensile pre-strain levels of 3 and 5%. Using compact tension C(T) specimens, fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted in air under constant amplitude loading at a stress ratio of 0.5. Three FCG rate models, namely Collipriest, Priddle, and modified Forman were examined. The results showed that both fracture toughness and FCG resistance decreased with an increase in the prestrain level. Both Collipriest and Priddle models fit the FCG rate data in a similar fashion. However, the Priddle model provided a better fit than Collipriest. The modified Forman model provided the best fit to the FCG rate data as compared with the other two models. The modified Forman model used to fit other unpublished FCG data and its response was also superior to the others. Therefore, this model may be suggested for use in critical applications, such as aeronautical structural design.
