    Caracterización de las propiedades mecánicas a tensión y compresión del filamento pla madera para la obtención de piezas mediante impresión 3D
    (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Castro Cano, Brayan Estiven; Caicedo Romero, Daniel Alexander; Pastrán Beltrán, Oswaldo; Pastrán Beltrán, Oswaldo [0000-0003-1829-1777]
    In the current context of increasing demand for sustainable materials and the search for alternatives to traditional plastics, research on biodegradable composites for additive manufacturing has gained significant relevance. Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer derived from renewable resources, has emerged as a popular option in 3D printing. However, its mechanical properties may limit its application in certain areas. To address this limitation, the incorporation of recycled wood into PLA has been proposed as a promising solution. This approach aims not only to improve the mechanical properties of 3D printed materials but also to reduce environmental impact by utilizing recycled materials. The combination of PLA with recycled wood can result in composites that are more durable, lightweight, and rigid, thereby expanding their range of applications in 3D printing. The overall goal of the research is to evaluate the potential of PLA combined with recycled wood as a material for 3D printing, focusing on the characterization of its mechanical properties in tension and compression. To achieve this, the research is based on several fundamental aspects, including the study of the mechanical properties of pure PLA, the selection of the printer capable of using this filament, and the configuration parameters in 3D printing. Specifically, existing literature on PLA behavior under tension and compression, the influence of different types of fillers in 3D printing, ASTM standards such as ASTM D638 for tensile tests and ASTM D695 for compression tests is reviewed. Finally, samples are prepared by designing and fabricating standardized test specimens according to ASTM standards, and 3D printing of the specimens is carried out by varying the printing parameters according to the experimental design. Mechanical tests are conducted using the machine universal Testing Machine WDW-10 recording the force and deformation data for each test. The results obtained are statistically analyzed to compare the mechanical properties of the different samples and thus identify the relationship between the printing parameters and the mechanical properties. It is expected that the results of this research will allow to characterize the tensile and compressive mechanical properties of PLA combined with wood, identify the most effective printing parameters, and evaluate the potential of the composite material.

    Implementación de herramientas de aprendizaje automático (IA) para la predicción de rugosidad de superficie en torneado
    (Universidad Francisco José de Caldas) Arias Santamaría, Juan Daniel; Carrillo Quevedo, Edwin Ricardo; Forero Casallas, John Alejandro
    The implementation of new technologies in engineering is at the forefront, thanks to the continuous advancements in computer science, given the ability to transmit and analyze information automatically. This is the case with the incorporation of machine learning methods in machining processes through algorithms, codes, and artificial intelligence, which optimize part production. This undergraduate monograph proposes the implementation of machine learning tools, primarily artificial intelligence, for predicting surface roughness in turning, based on the calculation of cutting parameters relevant to the manufacturing process. To this end, we propose the validation of machine learning from emerging artificial intelligences (ChatGPT, Meta, and Gemini) through collaborative interaction and information provision. This includes the development of a code for calculating cutting parameters in Python and experimental data from turning processes (extracted from databases) to train these tools. The respective validation of the feasibility of incorporating these machine learning models for surface roughness prediction will be carried out through statistical evaluation and comparison. It is expected that, through proper training of artificial intelligence, results will be obtained that generate precision in surface roughness prediction, while limiting errors due to misinterpretation and ambiguity by AIs, given that they are Large Language Models (LLM) that tend to generate errors in matters related to computation and correlation of numerical information.

    The purpose of this thesis is to study the behavior of a multiphase fluid when joined in a mixing tee of a thermal plant using finite element analysis, where the mixing of water in liquid state and air occurs. For this study, specialized computational tools are used to evaluate both the behavior of the multiphase fluid and the thermal gradients generated in the component. The development of this document is structured through the following stages: initially, an exhaustive bibliographic review is carried out on finite element analysis especially applied to mixing tees, with an emphasis on thermal and fluid analysis. Subsequently, a specific case study is defined based on real operating conditions for a water-air mixture, establishing the operating parameters that delimited the scope of the project. The design and modeling of the mixing tee for the thermal plant is carried out applying ASME B16.9, ASME B31.1 and B36.10 standards, using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2024. The model is exported to Ansys Workbench to perform the corresponding analyses. Simulations are run using the CFD module to study the behavior of the fluid mixture, and the Ansys Fluent module is used to evaluate the thermal gradients under study. The results analysis focuses on the behavior of the fluids when mixed, identifying flow variations and their thermal gradients. This provides valuable information for understanding the thermomechanical behavior of the mixing tee in relation to its integrity in thermal power plant applications.

    This project proposes developing the management and creation of a reliability-based maintenance (RCM) plan for a Heat & Control PC-26 fryer on a potato chip production line. This plan aims to implement maintenance activities that adequately address the needs of the equipment, improving plant availability. Currently, the snack production company where the potato chip fryer equipment is located lacks maintenance software, a defined preventive maintenance plan, intervention instructions, checklists, procedures, lubrication routes, properly identified equipment, and historical information on the different assets such as: failures, interventions, downtime, critical spare parts, life records, among others. Therefore, only corrective interventions are carried out on the plant's machinery, and specifically on the potato chip fryer, directly affecting the company's productivity, increasing costs and downtime, decreasing the reliability and useful life of the equipment, and generating high safety risks. Using the RCM (Reliability-Based Maintenance) methodology, during the development of this project, a maintenance plan will be created for a Heat & Control PC-26 brand fryer, performing failure analysis, identifying the critical components that affect the machine's productivity, and strategies will be proposed to reduce the occurrence of unscheduled stops and mitigate their impact on the equipment. Upon completion of this project, a preventive maintenance plan will be completed for the French fryer equipment, establishing the maintenance frequencies for each of its components. A maintenance history and technical sheet will be created, recording the maintenance history, failures, a list of critical spare parts, specifications, causes of failure, and other information. Additionally, maintenance instructions will be created for the most critical tasks encountered and lubrication routes, thereby increasing the company's productivity, increasing equipment reliability, reducing unscheduled downtime, reducing maintenance costs, and improving safety.

    Diseño de molde para procesos de inyección de plástico y fabricación de sus placas de núcleo y cavidad de manera didáctica

    When designing a mold for a part manufactured by injection molding, it is essential to focus on producing parts in cycles with relatively short time spans, they must fulfill the function for which they will be manufactured, the quality, the cost and seeking to reduce the waste of resources in the process, for this reason, carrying out the design, manufacturing and validation process of an injection mold requires responsibility, knowledge and commitment on the part of the engineer, who must clearly understand the previously stated requirements [1]. It is essential to rely on the existing computer-aided design technologies or tools (CAD/CAM/CAE), which allow the design and development of components, so it is necessary to have the skills and abilities to use this type of technology and thus provide optimal solutions. When executing this project, a series of steps were observed that are required for the design and manufacture of a prototype injection mold, for this this research was mainly divided into seven stages. The first phase basically consists of identifying the manufacturing needs of the part, examining first of all what tools the machining center located in the faculty facilities is equipped with and thus identifying the complexities, limitations and scopes in order to know the ideal working parameters of the equipment and finally to define the geometry of the part. In the second stage, the simulation of the process was carried out with the help of CAE tools (MoldFlow Adviser), in addition, the theoretical corroboration of the parameters of a complete injection cycle was carried out supported by documentation from injection machinery manufacturers and documentation from research and academic works in order to size the required equipment, in this way making a comparison guaranteeing that what is shown in the simulated analyses is as close to reality as possible with the data obtained theoretically. In the third stage, on the other hand, the dimensions and geometries that govern the injection mold are established. 3D models of the cavity and insert plates, clamping and ejector plates, feed and cooling channels, ejection mechanisms, sprue and other components that make up the total assembly of the mold are obtained. In addition, the plans for each of them are drawn up, which will facilitate their understanding and operation. Once the 3D models of the mold components have been defined, the fourth stage of the project begins, in which the conditions are established and the trajectories for the machining operations that will be carried out for the manufacture of the core and insert plates of the mold are developed. The paths that the tools will take are simulated and corroborated to obtain the desired geometries in order to avoid future damage to the material at the time of machining and finally the NC codes necessary for the manufacturing practice of the plates are obtained. In the fifth stage, the manufacturing phase was executed with the help of CAM tools and was materialized with the equipment with which the faculty is equipped, specifically with the CNC machining center. The final product is a manipulable prototype of the cavity and core plates of the mold for injection processes, as well as the files to view in a virtual environment the rest of the components that intervene in the process and together, ensure optimal performance. The sixth stage is based on the financial evaluation which consists of a calculation of costs of materials, labor and equipment, as well as an estimate of the machining times to execute the manufacture of the components that make up the injection mold object of study of this project, and thus, give it a more industrial approach. The results obtained will serve as a basis for making informed decisions about the investment in the injection mold, the economic viability and its impact on future production processes. The culmination of this project comes hand in hand with the seventh stage, here the focus is on the materialization, elaboration and socialization of the technical document that details the investigative and practical process carried out, from the conceptual design to the manufacture of the core plates and insert of the mold. This document not only serves as a historical record of the project, but also constitutes a valuable tool for future references, allowing for process replication, design optimization, and resolution of possible incidents in injection cycle processes.
