STRUCTURE DESIGN

This is an analysis of the foot of a robotic leg.

The piece that has been selected for this project was a part of a robot (as it's
mentioned before), which is a foot of a robotic leg. All this in order to apply a force to
it which puts pressure on the piece to analyze the deformation that it can have
depending on the material that was implemented, which in this case is cast steel.
In this case we are not going to use the connection tool since in this case we have a
complete figure and not an assembly.

In the figure it shows the fixed position below the figure with the vectors in green. It is
important to keep in mind that when we try to calculate and do a static analysis, the
figure must not move in order to see the torsion points or depending on it.
The image shows the face to which we are giving the vertical force and where it
carries out the load. In this Static Analysis is where we select to apply the external
load in this case in Newtons(N).

STRUCTURE FEA ANALYSIS, GRAPH INTERPRETATION

In this case, the red part is where a greater displacement of the object will be
obtained once the external load is applied.
As we can observe in the image, a force of 30N is applied to the piece and we can
notice that this piece is distorded. Having a yield point of 5000.
SAFETY FACTOR AND MATERIAL SELECTION

We have selected due to its properties since it is the most used in this type of
equipment. In this case is cast steel.

A factor of safety of 1.0 at a location means that the material at that location has
begun to fail. A factor of safety greater than 1.0 at a location means that the material
at that location is safe.
CONCLUSIONS

Gustavo Omar Campos López:

In this project I was able to realize the different change factors that a piece could
have when it is exerted with a force, so we can deduce what material it should
contain to have a safety factor and this helps improve the quality of these pieces.

Misael Chiquito Resendiz:

I had already had to simulate a figure and represent the external forces existing in
my figure. This practice makes you realize that any object can have twisting
movements or weak points.

Humberto Muñoz Moreno:

Through the study of this type of analysis we can see how an external force will act
on the object we have and how it will affect that part of the piece to prevent any
damage to the piece if it does not support the amount of weight.

Jose Adan Hernandez Morales:

It is important to know the possible forces that we can have in different pieces, since
depending on our material it is the support of the loads that we can apply to them.

Abdiel Jhonatan Vazquez Ton: This homework seemed interesting to me since it is

possible to analyze the loads that act on a structure and as in solidworks it is
possible to do it, see the loads in detail as well as see the deformations.
