In this paper, a design of a vehicle called Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) will be developed, which must comply with the competition requirements of the ASME standard, since it has as purpose in the future to participate in the student competition organized by this association (ASME). In order to achieve compliance with the objectives of the vehicle design, a process was followed, in which the first step was to know the requirements that the model to be made must have, in accordance with the standard, that is, both in terms of form and materials to be used. Three different structures were made, which met the requirements of the model. These models were simulated with finite elements to determine their viability, which were subjected to various static loads, among which are loads due to overturning, impacts; Likewise, the fastenings to which the system is exposed were considered, these fastenings were considered of the fixed type. According to the results obtained, the model meets the needs of the ASME standard, in addition to being a light and safe vehicle for the driver.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
