Diseño y análisis de una estructura rígida para montaje en un chasis cama baja para transporte de pasajeros.

Abstract

The design and analysis of a rigid structure for assembling a low-bed chassis in passenger transportation was researched. The procedures for the design and analysis are the low-bed chassis selection, materials selection, sizing, type of junctions, based on the ANT (National Transportation Agency) regulations in force, using tools which help to determine the customer’s requirements and needs as the Quality House, and in this way offering a useful product for the customer’s satisfaction. In order to obtain results, design and simulation software such as Solidworks and Ansys were used to assign different types of parameters which are fundamental for the present design; the most relevant results are the Von Misses effort, security factor, as well as the fatigue analysis of each element which compounds the rigid structure and are favorable when complementing with an easy-handle connector for a better adaptability in the manufacture. It can be deduced that through the connector and a structure with the appropriate materials the chassis can support different loads combined with acceptable security factors. It is recommended that the rigid structure be constructed under the regulations in force in the country in this case the INEN (Ecuadorian Institute of Normalization).
