Abstract

[ES] Diseño y dimensionado de la viga de soporte de un ondulador, determinando la posición optima de sus apoyos así como la sección transversal necesaria y la geometría de la misma, y modelado y análisis en Autodesk Inventor Professional.

[EN] This project intends to the design and dimensioning of the support beam of an undulator, taking into consideration beams with different cross-sections, subjected to the static loading. The structural analysis of the beam was made with the use of the Autodesk Inventor Professional. The performed calculations allow for the selection of the optimal shape and cross-section of the beam. Firstly, some preliminary calculations, to determinate analytically the optimal location for support were made in order to determine minimum deflections both in the centre as well as at both ends of the beam (the least favourable points). Such calculation was made with the use of the classical theoretical solutions. The detailed analysis of the beam deflection was performed in the Autodesk Inventor Professional. It allows for evaluate possibilities of the Autodesk software in the further design process and allows to calculate a more accurate behaviour of the designed structure. Once that is done, the optimal moment of inertia for the beam was calculated. It allows for the selection of the typical and standardized cross-section of the beams. A few examples were selected, calculated, and finally compared in the project. Once the optimal cross-section was determined, the beam was modelled in 3D and the corresponding 2D sketches were attached.
