Fabricación de un retrovisor para el vehículo SUZUKI FORSA con material compuesto de matriz polimérica de poliéster y refuerzo natural de cabuya

Abstract

The present project aims to produce a rear-view mirror for vehicle Suzuki Forsa with composite material of polymeric matrix polyester. The modeling of the rear-view mirrors was realized in a software CAD, in which outline three types of models to determine the model optimal considered for the manufacture with composite material to 30% fiber of agave and 70% of polyester resin. Using computational fluid dynamics DFC, was determined that the MOD_0 model complies with all the necessary features, since presents a drag coefficient lower to the other two giving a value of 0.53 being the most aerodynamic; in the same way the value of the lower maximum effort of 0.982 MPa, total deformation is minimal in comparison to the other models of 0.099 mm and finally its minimal factor of safety of 15 being the model that was used for the manufacture. Then proceed to the construction of the model of the rear-view mirror by manual stratification, it was realized the essays of destructive and not destructive type in which data were tabulated of weight, cost, hardness, impact resistance to impact and durability, being these 0.455g, 10 USD, 25.53HB, 5.2 J and 50 years respectively, the results obtained in the laboratory of strength of materials will serve to carry out the comparative analyses with the rear-view mirror that is currently on the market. Representing a direct competition since it means a new technology with lower cost, better quality, excellent properties of impact and hardness and especially friendly with the environment by their time of biodegradation.
