This special issue of RITA contains the papers of the Tutorials presented at the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing, SIBGRAPI 2007. It was a pleasure to receive 17 submissions, two of them from foreign countries. The majority of them have a very high standard but, because of time and space constraints, only six of them could be accepted. Herein texts associated to five of them are presented. These papers address a number of current research issues as well as conceptual information seek by the students and researchers of the field, as summarized as follows.

In the production of lightweight composite parts, resin infusion is the leading technology due to its excellent quality-to-cost ratio [1], [2]. Not only is there no need to use expensive equipment such as autoclaves, but the resulting fiber to resin ratio is very high, which makes parts very stiff, strong, and lightweight [3], [4]. Other advantages include a glossy surface and a structure that free of macro-pores, provided when the process is well prepared. The equipment used in this process allows one to manufacture part in virtually any size and shape [5]. The main difficulty is to design resin feed lines in way that will saturate fabrics until the resin gels. To facilitate this process design finite element codes can be used to simulate the flow of resin during infusion [6].

Modern engineering practice requires advanced numerical modeling because, among other things, it reduces the costs associated with prototyping or predicting the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations during operation in certain defined conditions. Different methods have so far been used to implement the real structure into the numerical version. The most popular have been variations of the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this Special Issue has been to familiarize the reader with the latest applications of the FEM for the modeling and analysis of diverse mechanical problems. Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the Special Issue.

Finite element method and structural mechanics method are used to study the blast furnace shell modal analysis and the natural frequencies and mode shapes have been calculated. The two methods were compared and validated , and the results provide a theoretical foundation for the anti-vibration capabilities design of blast furnace shell in the future .

The combustion of fuel takes place inside the cylinder with the oxygen of the air, producing a very high-pressure combustion gas. The combustion gas does work on the piston and then passes through the connecting rod to the crankshaft. The reciprocating translational motion of the piston may damage the connecting rod. A simulation using ANSYS was performed on each of the three connecting rod materials. Results showed that the maximum deformation occurred in the connecting rod made of structural steel, aluminium alloy, and titanium alloy was 0.239 mm, 0.672 mm, and 0.496 mm, respectively.
