Rediseño y automatización del equipo para realizar ensayos de deflexión en vigas para el laboratorio de la UPS

Abstract

This work was done because of the need to improve the learning in the area of strength of materials for students of mechanical engineering. To do this it was decide to redesign and automate the beam deflection team which presented some drawbacks in practic e, affecting the good performance of the same. For such change a diagnosis of existing equipment, in which the operational status of all your items for later reuse was verified. A study of alternatives for certain items of equipment whose studies rely on c ost, reliability, accuracy and operation was performed. This study was able to verify what are the most suitable elements for an excellent team performance. Once you know all the minors to redesign, it proceeded to redesign and design the different compone nts, which underwent several calculations to verify the correct application during operation to avoid errors, for this factor was applied security which guarantee the equipment will not be defective during operation or misuse. With the redesign and / or de sign, the automation which has several electrical and electronic fittings because this team will show all data from a PC and its charts was performed, since it is equipped with a DAQ, strain gages, and several position sensors which carry all the informati on to the PC, also via L abview software to view information on the PC.
