Diseño y simulación de una máquina de scrum para entrenamientos del equipo de rugby de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana campus El Girón

Abstract

In this technological proposal, the design and simulation of a scrum machine for training of the rugby team of the Salesian Polytechnic University Campus Girón is presented, the current situation of the team was investigated, from where measurements of the players would be taken. necessary to carry out the optimal design for the equipment. We proceeded to identify different alternatives that fit the needs of the team where different selection parameters would be taken into account, such as cost, ease of construction, functionality, aesthetics, safety and adaptability, with these criteria alternative number three was selected as the optimal for design. With the selected alternative, the load analysis was carried out to determine the friction force of the Scrum machine and the impact force produced by the Scrum where it should be greater than the friction force. The impact force obtained from the scrum was 7110 N and approached 8000 N to carry out the simulation, it began by designing the parts that make up the machine, using the properties of A36 steel, stainless aluminum and balsa wood. At the time of carrying out the simulation, it was found that the effort obtained was 581.23 𝑘𝑔/𝑐𝑚2 and since it was less than the admissible effort of A36 steel, it was concluded that the design is valid for the rugby team of the Salesian Polytechnic University.
