Metodología predictiva para el análisis de asiento trasero en pruebas de anclaje de cinturón de seguridad

Predictive methodology for rear seat analysis in seat belt anchorage testings

José Guadalupe Velasco Ortega GIOVANNI VIDAL FLORES (2023, [Artículo])

Se presenta una metodología a seguir para el análisis de un asiento trasero durante la prueba de anclaje del cinturón de seguridad, establecida en la norma FMVSS 210 por sus siglas en ingles Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Es importante destacar que el cinturón de seguridad reduce el riesgo de lesiones, y en caso de colisión, el cinturón ayuda a distribuir la fuerza del impacto en una superficie más grande es decir la estructura metálica del asiento, lo que se busca es minimizar el riesgo de lesiones graves. La metodología propuesta tiene el fin de predecir el desempeño como función del desplazamiento de la estructura metálica mediante el uso del elemento finito (FEM). En esta metodología, se analiza la menor cantidad de elementos que compone la estructura del asiento con el propósito de reducir el tiempo del análisis, considerando solo los elementos y componentes que tienen mayor efecto con el desempeño del cinturón de seguridad, generando el análisis más rápido y eficiente. Al contrastar los resultados obtenidos a través del análisis mediante elemento finito con las pruebas reales se determinó que el método FEM es eficaz para predecir los puntos débiles de la estructura metálica que influyen en el desplazamiento y/o deformación del asiento durante la prueba.

A methodology is presented for analysis of a rear seat during the Safety Belt Anchorage test established in FMVSS 210 [1], which stands for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. It is important to note that the safety belt reduces the risk of injury, and in the event of a collision, the belt helps distribute the force of the impact over a larger surface area, namely the metal structure of the seat. The goal is to minimize the risk of serious injuries. The goal of proposed methodology is to predict the performance as a function of displacement of the metal structure by using Finite Element Method (FEM). In this methodology, the minimum number of elements that make up the seat structure is analyzed in order to reduce analysis time, considering only the elements that play and have effect on the performance of the safety belt, thus generating a faster and more efficient analysis. By comparing the results obtained through Finite Element Method with the actual test, it was determined that the FEM method is effective in predicting the weak points of the metal structure that influence the displacement and/or deformation of the seat during the test.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been associated with testicular damage. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystemic disease that affects different organs, but its effect on the testes is unknown. A study analyzing germ cell involvement on BALB/c mice was carried out. A parallel comparative study was conducted that investigated alterations in the germinal epithelium of male humans that died from an unrelated acute event. The complete medical histories and histologic samples of the thoracic aorta, liver tissue, and testicular tissue from the deceased subjects were collected. The degree of germinal epithelial loss (DGEL) was evaluated and the clinical and histologic data were compared between individuals with and without NAFLD. The only metabolic or morphologic variable that caused a significant difference in the DGEL, in both the animal model and humans, was the presence of liver steatosis. The percentage of steatosis was also correlated with the percentage of the DGEL. In humans, steatosis (greater than 20%) increased the risk 12-fold for presenting with a severe DGEL (OR: 12.5; 95% CI [1.2, 128.9]; p = .03). There was no association with age above 50 years or MS components. Steatosis grade was also correlated with atherosclerosis grade. NAFLD was a strongly associated factor implicated in severe DGEL, as well as the testis was identified as a probable target organ for damage caused by the disease. his finding could result in the search for new approach strategies in the management of men with fertility problems. Further studies are required to confirm these results.

Aproximación de señales acústicas a través de funciones polinomiales

Approximation of acoustic signals through polynomial functions

Andrea Cruz Rojas (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Las señales acústicas presentan diversas características, como la frecuencia, amplitud y duración. Existen varias formas de representar una señal acústica, siendo la representación en el dominio del tiempo la más común. Esta representación permite visualizar la variación de la amplitud a lo largo del tiempo, analizar la duración, la forma de onda y los cambios rápidos o lentos en la amplitud. Sin embargo, las señales acústicas pueden contener un gran número de elementos, lo que resulta en archivos digitales de gran tamaño que dificultan su envío y almacenamiento. En este trabajo, se llevó a cabo un estudio de aproximación de señales acústicas utilizando diversas funciones polinomiales, como las funciones Zernike, Bessel y Jinc para reducir la cantidad de datos necesarios para representar la señal acústica, lo que simplifica la manipulación de dichos datos. El objetivo es identificar qué polinomio y cuántos coeficientes ofrecen un mejor rendimiento, es decir, una mejor señal acústica. Este estudio se basa en una evaluación objetiva y subjetiva de la reconstrucción de las señales acústicas, lo cual, hasta donde tenemos conocimiento, no se ha estudiado utilizando ambas metodologías en conjunto.

Acoustic signals have various characteristics, such as frequency, amplitude and duration. There are several ways to represent an acoustic signal, with time domain representation being the most common. This representation allows you to visualize the variation of the amplitude over time, analyze the duration, the waveform and the fast or slow changes in the amplitude. However, acoustic signals can contain a large number of elements, resulting in large digital files that make them difficult to send and store. In this work, an approximation study of acoustic signals was carried out using various polynomial functions, such as the Zernike, Bessel and Jinc functions to reduce the amount of data necessary to represent the acoustic signal, which simplifies the manipulation of said data. The objective is to identify which polynomial and how many coefficients offer better performance, that is, a better acoustic signal. This study is based on an objective and subjective evaluation of the reconstruction of acoustic signals, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been studied using both methodologies together.
