    Simulações computacionais de escoamentos sobre aerofólios e asas usando software livre
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2025-12-11) Bastos, Isadora Venancio; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; Mariano, Felipe Pamplona; Mariano, Felipe Pamplona; Beghelli, Júlio Modesto; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui
    Wings operate with maximum efficiency when they achieve the highest ratio between the lift coefficient and the drag coefficient. These coefficients are dimensionless numbers related to the interactions exerted by a fluid flow on solid objects and are essential for optimizing wing designs as well as for other aerodynamic applications, such as optimizing wind turbines, compressors and hydraulic pumps. The computational approach makes it possible to develop different studies for different aerodynamic profiles at little cost compared to experiments, so it is possible to analyze in detail how a wing behaves under different flow conditions. In order to investigate these coefficients, a geometric model and three-dimensional complex meshes were developed to study air flow over a wing formed by a NACA 4415 profile, with a 10º angle of attack, unit chord length and two different spam lengths. This analysis is conducted with a Reynolds number of 750,000. For this purpose, the OpenFOAM software was chosen, as it is a free, open-source software dedicated to solving Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) problems. In addition to OpenFOAM, CAD software was used to generate the geometric model, in this case the wing; the SnappyHexMesh mesh generator, supplied with OpenFOAM itself, and to choose, among those available, the most suitable computational algorithms to carry out the simulations. Specifically, SimpleFOAM was chosen, a classic algorithm that solves the Navier Stokes equations in steady state for incompressible and turbulent flow. The main result obtained is the development of a specific process for carrying out computer simulations of three-dimensional turbulent flows over complex (non-Cartesian) geometries.

    The automated recognition of leaf diseases is one of the main challenges of Agriculture 4.0, requiring methodologies that integrate agronomic knowledge, image collection for monitoring, and advanced machine learning techniques. This study aims to perform a comparative analysis of different convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures applied to the detection of leaf diseases in tomato plants, including target spot. Three widely recognized architectures were used: ResNet-50, Inceptionv3, and VGG-16, exploring combinations of hyperparameters such as learning rate, optimizers, and the use of weight decay. Additionally, activation maps were employed to identify relevant visual patterns that influence the models’ decisions. The results show that ResNet-50 achieved the best overall performance and stability, followed by Inception-v3, while VGG-16 exhibited greater sensitivity to training configurations. Through this analysis, we aim to understand the impact of these variations on network performance, providing valuable insights for improving models applied to crop protection management and precision agriculture.

    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-05) Pimenta, Jader Fillipe Cabral; Belchior, Fernando Nunes; Belchior, Fernando Nunes; Santos, Josephy Dias; Oliveira, Antonio Melo de
    Electricity is an indispensable resource in modern society, essential for economic, social, and technological development. Its importance lies in sustaining the operation of basic infrastructure, such as hospitals, transportation, telecommunications, and supply systems, permeating all areas of daily life, from household activities to industrial processes. However, mere access to energy is not sufficient; the quality of supply is equally crucial. Parameters of Power Quality (PQ), such as voltage and frequency stability, harmonic control, and power factor, directly influence the reliability and efficiency of the supply. Non-compliance with these standards can result in power outages, equipment overloads, and damage, leading to economic losses and safety risks. Thus, maintaining high PQ is essential to prevent interruptions and ensure user well-being. In the industrial sector, the importance of PQ is even greater due to the complexity of production processes. High-quality electricity is critical for the efficient operation of precision equipment, automated systems, and production lines, as variations such as overvoltage’s, harmonic distortions, and frequency fluctuations can cause unexpected stoppages, shorten equipment lifespan, and increase maintenance costs. The electricity photovoltaic generation has been widely adopted in industrial facilities as a cost-reduction strategy and for being a more sustainable source in terms of environmental preservation. This practice aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN), particularly SDG 7, which aims to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy. This study analyzed the relationship between this type of generation and the compliance with PQ parameters in an industrial facility. Concepts were addressed, and aspects such as steady-state voltage, power factor, harmonic distortions, frequency, voltage imbalance, and reverse power flow were evaluated. Real data collected over a week were graphically processed to illustrate the impacts of power injection from the plant on quality indicators. Compliance was assessed based on PRODIST standards.

    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-11-11) Pinto, Carlos Daniel Silva; Figueiredo, Kléber Mendes de; Figueiredo, Kléber Mendes de; Vilela, Carlos Alberto de Almeida; Colvero, Diogo Appel
    The study was motivated by the critical importance of sterilization performed by autoclaves for the proper and safe treatment of patients in hospital environments. It aimed to improve the maintenance plan for a Baumer HI VAC MX II B0112 autoclave used for sterilization in a hospital setting, classified as a Category V pressure vessel under NR 13. The methodology included an analysis of the maintenance history (2022–2023), identification of critical components, implementation of predictive maintenance techniques (non-destructive testing and visual inspection), optimization of the maintenance schedule, improvement in inventory management, and the implementation of a data recording and analysis system. The results showed an increase in maintenance performance indicators, with a 23.4% improvement in MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), rising from 255.5 to 315.22 hours. Additionally, there was a 29% reduction in MTTR (Mean Time to Repair), decreasing from 18.65 to 13.25 hours, and an increase in equipment availability from 92.37% to 95.97%. Improvements included predictive maintenance, schedule optimization based on actual wear, integrated inventory management, and compliance with regulations such as RDC 15. Despite the short post-improvement analysis period (6 months), the project demonstrated potential to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. Continuous monitoring, full implementation of the proposed actions, and expansion of the predictive maintenance plan are recommended. The project contributed to the optimization of sterilization processes, positively impacting the quality of patient care and the safety of medical procedures.

    Metamaterials are structures designed to exhibit physical properties not found in natural materials, such as controlled manipulation of sound waves, enhancing acoustic mitigation. When combined with additive manufacturing, this technology offers new possibilities for acoustic insulation. This study aims to explore the concept and application of the acoustic metamaterial model UOM (Ultra-open Metamaterial) proposed by Ghaffarivardavagh (2018), validating its efficiency in sound transmission loss based on its geometry. Additionally, the research investigates the advantages of simulations applied to acoustic silencers, evaluating their accuracy through impedance tube tests in conjunction with additive manufacturing of the silencer. The results indicate that the study's objectives were achieved, showing alignment between analytical, simulated, and tested results, with error margins ranging from 0.4% to 8.0%. The tests also showed proximity to the simulations, with a 3.5% error in the frequencies of maximum transmission loss, despite differences in peak absolute values. However, the fabrication of physical models using 3D resin printing revealed structural weaknesses due to reduced dimensions, highlighting challenges to be addressed for improved practical feasibility.

    Deep learning para reconhecimento de sinais da LIBRAS como tecnologia assistiva
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-12) Pedrosa, Samuel França da Costa; Santana, Adriano César; Santana, Adriano César; Castro, Marcelo Stehling de; Nerys, José Wilson Lima
    Communication is essential for social inclusion, yet the lack of linguistic accessibility often marginalizes specific groups, such as the Brazilian deaf community. This project proposes the use of deep learning to recognize signals from Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) with the aim of translating them, through model predictions, into written Portuguese. Initially, videos of people signing were collected to form a dataset, which was subjected to processes of extraction and mapping of key body points using open-source tools provided by MediaPipe. The extracted data was processed and used as input for two designed models: one based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and another on Transformers. The study revealed that model performance is influenced by the alignment methods applied during data processing. The Transformer demonstrated superior results in terms of accuracy and generalization, albeit with higher computational demands. Conversely, the LSTM model showed satisfactory performance in terms of computational efficiency but exhibited limitations as classification complexity increased. One of the primary challenges was the difficulty in building a rich and robust dataset, due to the scarcity of available content for collection and extraction, especially when compared to other natural languages, whether textual or spoken. This limitation partially restricted the models' generalization capabilities. Despite these challenges, the project achieved promising results, suggesting that with enhanced and expanded datasets, its application as assistive technology can be extended to more complex scenarios with broader applicability. This study represents an advancement in the use of deep learning to promote inclusion and accessibility for the Brazilian deaf community.

    Representação simplificada de um alimentador de média tensão da região metropolitana de Goiânia
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-12) Nascimento, Guilherme Pereira do; Lima, Ian Douglas Jacob de; Kopcak, Igor; Kopcak, Igor; Brigatto, Gelson Antônio Andrêa; Garces Negrete, Lina Paola
    Studies on electric power systems, given its physical dimensions and power ratings, as well as its economic and social relevance, are typically conducted through computational simulations based on mathematical models of electrical grids, generators, loads, substations, and other components. The limitations regarding “bench testing” and even field testing create a demand for test systems that represent real networks for computational simulations, which can support various types of analysis. In this regard, benchmark test systems have historically been used as reference models. Depending on the objective or phenomenon to be analyzed, there are specific reduced test systems whose mathematical models are more appropriate for focusing on studies related to operational planning, system stability, and network protection security, among other possibilities. This paper develops a reduced equivalent of an electrical grid that serves the metropolitan area of Goiânia, based on data available in the literature as well as data requested from the local utility company, and it is representative of the dynamic behavior of this small portion of the National Interconnected System (SIN).

    This study investigates a possible bias in oversampling via data windowing of vocal signals. Previous studies indicate that there is a bias for gait data when the data is treated independently, in addition there are statistical studies that show that data from the same individual carry similar information. An approach based on three databases containing vocal signals was used, two of which were unbalanced and one balanced. The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Naive Bayes and Decision Tree (DT) algorithms were applied, with pre-processing using StandardScaler and PCA behavior analysis. Cross validation was done with k-fold Cross Validation, with k=5, in all 3 bases, adapted for scenarios with and without bias in the training data. Models evaluated without considering bias showed inflated performances, while the rigorous approach showed more modest results. It is concluded that samples from the same individual in training and testing can inflate the performance of models, and it is crucial to apply oversampling correctly to develop reliable models for diagnosing PD.

    Análise do funcionamento das funções 51, 27, 59 e 87 em diversas condições de curto-circuito de uma linha de transmissão de alta tensão utilizando o software ATPDraw
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-12) Souza, Alex de Almeida Rodrigues de; Campos, Laura Ferreira; Almeida, Maria Leonor Silva de; Almeida, Maria Leonor Silva de; Kopcak, Igor; Belchior, Fernando Nunes
    The present study investigates, through the implementation in the ATPDraw software, the behavior of four functions commonly used in the protection of high-voltage transmission lines: overcurrent (51), overvoltage (59), undervoltage (27), and differential (87) functions. ATPDraw, a program used for simulating electromagnetic transients in power systems, servesas a tool to study the behavior of these protection functions under different fault scenarios. It offers a practical and detailed approach, enabling the modeling of transient behavior in electrical systems and the evaluation of how different protection strategies can mitigate interruption risks, contributing to a safer and more reliable electrical grid. The results revealed that the performance of protection functions is strongly influenced by operating conditions, such as the type of short circuit (monophase or three-phase), fault resistance, and fault location. While functions like 87 proved to be highly effective and consistent across all tested scenarios, current- or voltage-based functions such as 51, 27, and 59 exhibited variations under specific conditions, such as high fault resistance or fault locations. These findings highlight the importance of precise adjustments and the integration of diverse protection strategies to maximize system reliability and safety. The research concludes that simulation tools like ATPDraw are essential for validating protection settings and enhancing the performance of complex electrical systems.

    Avaliação da confiabilidade em sistemas de distribuição de energia elétrica com alta inserção de geração distribuída: uma abordagem através do método de Newton-Raphson e da simulação de Monte Carlo
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-11) Sabreu , Igor Lyncoln da Silva; Garces Negrete, Lina Paola; Garces Negrete, Lina Paola; Brigatto, Gelson Antônio Andréa; Belchior, Fernando Nunes
    This study aimed to evaluate the influence of distributed generation (DG) on reliability parameters in electrical distribution systems, analyzing such metrics before and after allocation. In a different way, this work adopts the integration of the Monte Carlo technique with the Newton-Raphson method, applied to the resolution of the power flow problem, incorporating islanding detection based on Graph Theory. In addition, the use of the goodness-of-fit test (adherence) allows validating the adequacy of probabilistic distribution functions to stochastic variables, ensuring a diagnosis that is more faithful to real behavior. The analyzes were performed using the 14-bus RBTS test system. To this end, five indices were chosen to assess grid reliability: LOLE (Loss Of Load Expectation), LOEE (Loss OF Energy Expectation), FEC (Frequency of Exceeding Capacity), IEC (Interrupted Energy Consumption) and IVR (Interruption Value Rate) , which together provide an excellent perspective of the system. With the addition of decentralized generation, an increase in system availability was noted, a decrease in voltage deviations in the grid, a reduction in unserved energy and fewer occurrences of failures. Thus, the integration of decentralized generation not only improves the parameters evaluated, but also highlights the points in the network that require greater care and allocation of resources, whether in protection devices and systems or in predictive maintenance actions, preventing possible technical complications and excessively high corrective expenses, following the objectives and guidelines of SDG 7 (Sustainable Development Goals), proposed by the UN (United Nations), which aims at clean and affordable energy.

    Análise da inversão do fluxo de potência em instalação elétrica industrial com geração de energia solar fotovoltaica
    (Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-03) Ferreira, Gabriel Fernandes; Belchior, Fernando Nunes; Belchior, Fernando Nunes; Oliveira, Antônio Melo de; Castro, Marcelo Stehling de; Pires Junior, Kairo Hitler De Almeida Faria
    The increasing integration of distributed generation, particularly solar photovoltaic energy, in industrial installations has revealed critical challenges for the stability and quality of electrical systems. Phenomena such as power flow inversion, harmonic distortions, current and voltage imbalances, and power factor variations add complexity to electrical operations, demanding advanced monitoring and control techniques. These challenges are further exacerbated in industrial contexts, where energy demand is highly dynamic and subject to abrupt changes, intensifying the interactions between local generation and the electrical grid. Such dynamics can significantly impact system reliability, compromising equipment efficiency, reducing lifespan, and increasing operational costs. Moreover, energy quality distortions can cause premature wear of critical components, transformer overloads, and disruptions to plant operations, directly affecting productivity. These consequences highlight the need for solutions that align electrical operations with regulatory compliance, ensuring system stability and efficiency. The main motivation for this study emerged from an incident reported by the maintenance team at Volga Engenharia, where an overload in the entry transformer tripped its protections, disconnecting it from the system and preventing catastrophic equipment failure. This critical event highlighted the need to deeply understand the phenomena associated with distributed generation, particularly power flow inversion and its impacts on the electrical system. In this context, the opportunity arose to align this academic research project with the challenges faced by the company, focusing on practical and technical solutions. Throughout the development of this work, the scope of the analysis expanded to address additional issues related to energy quality and specific operational conditions of the plant. Data obtained during monitoring provided a detailed view of the effects of abrupt power flow inversion and its implications on other critical parameters, such as current imbalances and harmonic distortions. This analysis reinforces the importance of studies like this one, aiming not only to understand the challenges posed by distributed generation but also to propose solutions that ensure efficiency, safety, and sustainability for industrial systems.
