Artur Henrique de Freitas Avelar
Adjunct Professor at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ), working in teaching, modeling, mechanisms, mechanical transmissions and development of computational tools for teaching support.
The site brings together adapted class notes, technical articles and support pages linked to academic and educational projects.
Technical content with practical utility
The proposal is to bring together explanations, figures, equations and usage guides that help students, teachers and professionals to better understand certain topics in mechanical engineering.
The texts published here prioritize conceptual clarity, didactic application and direct connection with real analysis and design problems.
What you find here
Barbudenge's content is organized around four main fronts:
- original technical articles on planetary gears, cams and mechanisms;
- usage guides for tools and projects linked to the portal, such as Engrenarium;
- quick reference material such as glossaries and frequently asked questions;
- institutional context for projects linked to LASME/UFSJ.
When a page points to an external software, laboratory or repository, it explains what technical problem that resource helps to study and in what situation it can be used.
Publication criteria
Original content
The texts are written specifically for this portal. When there is reference to books, tools or external pages, the objective is to contextualize or complement the material, not to reproduce generic descriptions or excerpts from third parties.
Didactic emphasis
The pages seek to explain concepts, show relationships between variables, indicate practical uses and point out limitations. The focus is on helping the reader learn something concrete, not just taking them to another website.
Gradual update
The portal is progressively updated. New articles, explanatory pages, and supporting materials are added as they mature in classroom, research, and software development.
Transparency
Institutional information, contact and privacy policy are publicly available. The aim is to make it clear who maintains the website, what its purpose is and how visitors can get in touch.
How the portal connects to other resources
Barbudenge also serves as a support point for related projects, but each of them has a different function:
- Engrenarium: software and simulator aimed at visualizing and analyzing planetary gears. On the portal, it now appears inside the projects page alongside Engrenarium Web and Interactive Powertrain.
- LASME/UFSJ: institutional page of the laboratory, used to present academic context and links with teaching, research and development.
- GitHub: repositories and source code related to projects published or maintained by the author.
This distinction is important: the website does not replace the software, the laboratory or the repository. It explains the functioning and technical use of these resources so that the visitor knows when each of them is useful.
