Figure 1: Dommy part.

1. (30 points) Mass: 879.63 g .

2 Static Analysis
Directions. From the designed dommy part, fix the internal face of the green circles and apply a blue arrow
direction force with 500 N in the face of the blue circle. After, fulfill the following information.

1. (10 points) Max Von Mises Stress: 2.043e7 Pa .

2. (10 points) Max Displacement:
5.435e-1 mm .
1.35
3. (10 points) FOS1 (Max von Mises Stress): .

3 Design Improvement
Directions. Considering the same loads and fixtures of the previous section, modify the dommy part in
order to obtain a better FOS, as closest to 1.5, avoiding changing the red values. After, fulfill the following
information.
1. (20 points) Mass2 : 881.80 g .

2. (30 points) FOS (Max von Mises Stress)3 : 1.508 .

1 Factor of Safety.
2 Incresing less than 1 % is not penalized. In other case, % equivalent penalization is applied.
3 Error less than 1 % is not penalized. In other case, % equivalent penalization is applied.
