Diseño del sistema de transmisión para un prototipo Baja SAE.

Abstract

The objective of this work is the design of the transmission system for the Baja SAE prototype of the Santo Tomás University under the established parameters in the SAE standard for the competition. Thus, this document presents the set of computer models and those calculations used for the design of each subsystem. For this, the SAE regulations that govern the design specifications are presented; after that, the paper presents the design alternatives proposed in order to solve the design problem; these alternatives are evaluated with a matrix that allows to select the one that fits better in its stablished parameters. To this alternative, calculations to prevent the fatigue failure are made. Finally, and through the software ANSYS and its finite element methods, is presented a validation for the previous calculations and an improvement of the design are using a topological optimization module. It is concluded, satisfactorily, with the generation of a design proposal that covers the requirements of each element and those of the competition itself.
