“…Topology optimization uses constructive algorithms to reorganize the part in the design space therefore modifying the layout of the part into a complex structure that has higher performance [14] and lower cost due to low material requirements and this positively affects cost of manufacture by reducing waste, and cost of recycle. In the automotive industry for example, low weight and inferably low mass is an ideal trade-off for high performance vehicles such as the jet dragster, a jet-propelled car.…”

Optimization relates to the ultimate yield strength and the maximum stress incident on the current model under critical working conditions and finds through iterative processing a way to compensate for the strength requirement without going beyond the desired mass limits. In this paper, the horizontal sheet metal base of a horizontal toggle clamp is optimised for mass reduction using the finite element analysis in the computer aided design software. The sheet metal base material is the ANSI32 Steel. In the design software, it is designed with the thickness of 7 mm and it is intended to support a workload of up to 750 N. The constraints were a fixed point added at all the holes and at the bottom surface of the sheet metal base. A number of iterations were made for the 750N loading force across the base plate to run the simulation. For optimization, the aim was to minimize the mass of the base plate. The design parameters were Von Mises, factor of safety and displacement. The variables were the slots’ width and material thickness along the mid-surface of the sheet metal. The mass was reduced by more than thirty per cent overall.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process in which the product is composed of overlapping layers of a material that is added using devices such as 3D printers. Its process has been evolving for decades and nowadays it can be used for several applications and with different materials. One modern usage is for medical and dental purposes. Since it became possible to print metal, it has been a good solution for bone implants, once it must be done with biomaterials and can now replicate the bone structure, for that unit cells should compose the implant. Both conditions are now possible to be achieved by AM, and the current study will analyze, using finite element method, the possibilities to create specimens for tests which the final product would result in a 3D printed bone implant.

En la actualidad la práctica del ciclismo ha tenido un incremento considerable, así como el uso de bicicletas de montaña (Mountain Bike, MTB, en inglés), de cuadro rígido, utilizadas como medio de transporte y para competencia, debido a su costo asequible. Este tipo de bicicletas, al ser utilizadas para varios propósitos, presentan esfuerzos variados en su cuadro, que conllevan a sobrepasar las exigencias de diseño, presentándose fallos en las vainas superiores. Este tipo de fallo es analizado en este estudio, motivo por el cual se levanta la información referente al material del cuadro, cargas actuantes y modelado 3D. Posterior se genera un análisis de homologación del fallo y se determina una propuesta de mejora aplicando optimización geométrica, donde se determina un espesor de 3,50 mm en las vainas superiores, garantizando la resistencia del cuadro de bicicleta bajo las condiciones de estudio; es decir, un drop de 60 cm y carga de 74 kg, con la cual se garantiza que el esfuerzo en las vainas superiores no sobrepase el esfuerzo último del material de 890,94 MPa.
