Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Gestão Organizacional) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Catalão, 2015.http://repositorio.ufcat.edu.br/tede/handle/tede/5460In order to collaborate with technology and accessibility, this work proposes the development of a Space Frame chassis, constructed with polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). To the development were used PVC tubes and fittings, commonly used in civil builders. The essential parameters of the PVC were obtained experimentally and used to simulate the chassis. Along the development, analyses of tension and deformation were made in the proposed structure. Using computer simulation, the finite element analysis could provide the structure behaviour in different scenarios, as bending, tension and deformation.application/pdfAcesso AbertoSpace frameMétodo dos elementos finitosSimulação computacionalCloreto de polivinila (pvc)Baixo custoSpace frameFinite element methodComputational simulationPolyvinyl chlorideLow costADMINISTRACAO::ADMINISTRACAO DE EMPRESASDissertação
