Análise da junta soldada na união da estrutura do veículo Baja SAE

Abstract

The Baja SAE championship is growing day by day all over the world, thus, studies are necessary for modification and upgrading as a differential at engineering. Several improvement studies about Baja SAE vehicle are performed for example studies about design, design improvements and studies that prove safety and quality of the project. The roll cage is extremely important for the safety of the pilot in case of mechanical shocks during competitions. It is used a welding process at the tube joints for the cage manufacturing. This process causes damage of mechanical properties of the material, this phenomenon is called Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). Trying to prove the roll cage manufacturing quality, this term paper has as study object proof bodies for simulation of roll cage joints to be checked through destructive and nondestructive mechanical testing.
