Mecanismo Diseñado y Simulado Virtualmente

Abstract

Objectives: To show a process to synthesize and analyze a crank mechanism oscillator function generator. Simulate it in a virtual reality environment, without losing its physical characteristic. Evaluate deviations between analytically desired and virtually obtained. Methodology: Using the analytical method described by Hartenberg and Denavit, a graphic package and an electronic spreadsheet; knowing the angle of rotation of the crank, the angular reference position of the crank, the displacement of the oscillator, the extreme values of the independent variable and the function; precision positions, link lengths, eccentricity and oscillator reference position were determined. The links were generated, the mechanism was assembled, analyzing fifteen of its positions. Of the infinite number of existing solutions, five were synthesized. For each solution that justify it, the deviation of the generated function was evaluated with respect to the desired one. Contribution: The friendly, fast, safe, accurate and parametric process was demonstrated; modifying the inputs and checking the update of the outputs, therefore it is a contribution to the scientific progress of the area.
