The aim of this work is to present the methodological process to design a device capable of performing Bulge tests. This kind of device allows obtaining more information about the plastic behavior of a material than the one provided by a traditional tensile test. The engineering specifications of the device were evaluated through the QFD methodology. Then, a basic design of the device was performed based on available analytical models such as thick-walled pressure vessel theory, annular plate theory, and a basic plasticity model for the biaxial stress state. Later, a detailed design of the device was proposed, which was evaluated by means of a 3D model of finite elements and a linearstatic analysis for the main components. Finally, a 2D axisymmetric model and a dynamic non-linear analysis were performed to validate the proposed design. The main novelty of the work consists of articulating the methodology of the mechanical design process and the conception, design, and validation of a Bulge device while solving the deficiencies found in the literature regarding the design and validation processes of this type of devices.

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el proceso metodológico para diseñar un dispositivo capaz de realizar ensayos Bulge. Este tipo de dispositivos permite obtener más información del comportamiento plástico de un material que la proporcionada por un ensayo de tensión tradicional. Se evaluaron los requerimientos de diseño del dispositivo a través de la metodología QFD. Seguidamente se realizó un diseño básico del dispositivo basado en modelos analíticos disponibles como la teoría de recipientes a presión de pared gruesa, la teoría de placas anulares y un modelo de plasticidad básico para el estado biaxial de esfuerzo. Luego, se propuso un diseño detallado del dispositivo, el cual fue evaluado mediante un modelo 3D de elementos finitos y un análisis lineal-estático para los componentes principales. Finalmente, se realizaron un modelo axisimétrico 2D y un análisis no-lineal para validar el diseño propuesto. La novedad principal del trabajo consiste en articular la metodología del proceso de diseño mecánico y la concepción, diseño y validación de un dispositivo Bulge, solventando las carencias encontradas en la literatura en cuanto a procesos de diseño y validación de este tipo de dispositivos.
