Diseño y simulación de una cámara de vacío para el estudio de la interacción de partículas cargadas con materia

Abstract

The present investigation, whose objective is: design and simulate a vacuum chamber for the study of the interaction of charged particles with matter. It is presented as a feasible project, proposing a solution for the manufacturing of vacuum chambers in the country. This study presents selection criteria for: operation modules and materials. The mechanical design values calculation is taken from VIII section of ASME code, about pressure vessel design and the material selection is executed with the Ashby graphic method. The behavior of materials under pre-stablished conditions is verified by simulations executed in SolidWorks. As a result of this work, a virtual model of the vaccum chamber with all its elements coupled including manufacturing and assembly drawing is presented. The final part of this work proposes solutions to be adopted to guarantee the correct functioning of the system, based on the analysis of supplier catalogs.
