1. Project Unbreakable Debra Rich & Carmen Prieto ME 104Q Fall 2004 The purpose of this project was to design a bridge using Aluminum Alloy as the metal. The goal is for the bridge to have the greatest ratio for weight it holds to actual weight of the bridge. The bridge should be able to hold approximately 500 pounds without any damage to the body. To design the bridge we used the program ANSYS Workbench. This program allowed us to build the bridge and apply a force in order to determine the amount of weight that it could potentially hold without experiencing any damage. After designing and performing the simulation in ANSYS Workbench, the application Microsoft PowerPoint was used to draw the blueprints for the bridge in order for it to be built. After performing the simulation process using ANSYS Workbench our bridge should be able to hold approximating 500 pounds with any damage. In fact, it should be able to hold 7,000 pounds before damage occurs to the body. As a result, our bridge has a safety factor of 15. Our bridge also has a Maximum Equivalent Stress of 3.539e7 and a Maximum Shear Stress of 2.035e7. The bridge also has a Total Deformation of.132e-3. In designing the bridge we also had to put into consideration the fact that a 3” by 5” index card needs to fit under the center of the bridge. All pieces touching the table also need to be able to fit in the area of a 3” by 5” index card as well. We designed our bridge to meet this factors and to be a strong and sturdy bridge. We also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, so we used arcs to support the bridge. To conclude, our bridge should be able to support approximately 500 pounds without any damage done to it. However, because aesthetics were a large factor in the designing of the bridge, it will probably not have the greatest ratio of weight that it holds to weight of the bridge.
