Projeto mecânico de um dinamômetro inercial para análise do veículo de alta eficiência energética da equipe UTECO

Abstract

The present work is about a project that analyzes an inertia dynamometer transmission, with the goal of get the torque and power of an internal combustion prototype vehicle to reach a better energetic efficiency of a small size vehicle. This vehicle is developed as an extension project at UTFPR-GP, and participates at the Shell Eco-marathon competition. In this context, the work approaches theoretical studies as physical principles of mechanics, state of art of the inertia dynamometers, basics studies of some electronic devices and the tool DFMEA as a cornerstone on the conduction of the development of this work that will help on the final creation of the project. The work counts with the support of softwares for the elaboration of technical drawings, 3D modeling and virtual simulations, for a future real fabrication. As final considerations, it’s believable that the obtained results are satisfactory, due to the confiability on the methods used, with consolidated tools in industrial projects, assisting for a better energetic efficiency of the vehicle, and supporting all the necessary loads for its proper operation.
