Informe de trabajo de grado – Modalidad : auxiliar de investigación

Abstract

This report shows a compilation of the entire investigative procedure in relation to technical aids based on Guadua Angustifolia Kunth, belonging to the Biomechanics seedbed of the GIDINT group, throughout the Mechanical Engineering career at the Santo Tomás Tunja University. The investigative process covered a period that began in the first semester of 2015 and ended in the first semester of 2018 where, as an engineering objective and challenge, Guadua Angustifolia Kunth was proposed as a structural material for technical aids such as stretchers, especially the scoop stretcher. The idea began by raising a technical aid that, for this project, the spoon-type stretcher was chosen, widely used in pre-hospital care (APH) to accidents that compromise the central nervous system through injuries at the cervical level, where Guadua Angustifolia Kunth Being a type of bamboo, it was taken as a reference to implement in a scoop-type stretcher. As research products, presentations were made, writing articles, among other topics that were covered in this seedbed to give excellent results against the main problem, reduce both costs of technical assistance and weight in kilograms in the entire structure of the scoop stretcher . This process required the search for sources, the design and simulation of prototypes, experimentation with bamboo and finally the explanation of the results through lectures, in a long three-year process that concludes in this detailed report below.
