RESUMEN

En el presente trabajo se describe el procedimiento de rediseo, optimizacin y

construccin de las manguetas delanteras para el vehculo tipo Formula SAE que
particip en la competicin Formula Student 2012 en Alemania en el circuito de
Honckenheimring.

El objetivo de la investigacin es reducir las masas de las manguetas para obtener

un funcionamiento dinmico mejor del vehculo, as como ser ms competitivos en
eventos como el de Alemania donde los autos son uno 30% ms livianos.

En cinco captulos se dividi el trabajo y en los cuales se contempla el respectivo

anlisis de las fuerzas que intervienen en el funcionamiento de las manguetas
delanteras, proceso de optimizacin en software CAD y simulacin esttica en
Software de tipo FEM, as como las distintas fases que fueron parte de la
construccin y pruebas en el vehculo.

PALABRAS CLAVE:

Mangueta, optimizacin, FSAE, CAD, FEM, software.

SUMMARY

In this paper we describe the procedure of redesign, optimization and construction

of the front Upright for the Formula SAE vehicle that participated in the Formula
Student 2012 competition in Germany at the Honckenheimring circuit.

The objective of the research is to reduce the masses of the Upright to obtain a
better dynamic performance of the vehicle, as well as to be more competitive in
events such as the one in Germany where cars are 30% lighter.

In five chapters the work was divided and in which the respective analysis of the
forces involved in the operation of the front spindles is contemplated, optimization
process in CAD software and static simulation in FEM type Software, as well as the
different phases that They were part of the construction and tests on the vehicle.
