Abstract

First of all I would like to thank my advisor Prof. Lukas Landau for giving me the opportunity to work on this thesis. With his continuous support and motivation, he has shown his passion towards lecturing and assisting students. More than that, he presents a friendly behavior, striving for meaningful interactions with students and fellow professors. For all above said and for treating with all regard my own ideas onto this research topic, he deserves my sincere gratitude. I also want to express my gratitude to the professors from CETUC for sharing experience and knowledge during the courses lectures. For this reason, it is worth to mention the professors Raimundo Sampaio Neto, José Mauro Pedro Fortes and, especially, Rodrigo Caiado de Lamare, who has contributed directly and indirectly to this work, with mentorship and paper review. Furthermore, I want to thank IMBEL for enabling the completion of this thesis by allowing the flexibility of the working hours during this period. More specifically, I want to thank Colonel Marcus Vinícius dos Santos Fernandes for this support, understanding the importance of the master's degree for the career of an engineer.
