MODELADO DE SOMBREROS
Abstract
Se desarrolló un procedimiento para modelar sombreros con el fin de poder compararlos en lo referente a su capacidad como elementos protectores de radiación ultravioleta solar. Se realizó la validación del procedimiento de modelado desarrollado por comparación con resultados experimentales realizados con un maniquí puesto al sol. Una vez realizada la validación, se realizaron las simulaciones necesarias para poder entender cuales son las principales variables que afectan a la eficiencia de los sombreros y en que proporción lo hacen. Luego de algunos análisis relacionados a la factibilidad económica y técnica de la fabricación de sombreros, se centró la atención en tres modelos de sombreros: la gorra tradicional, una gorra con solapa lateral y un sombrero con ala elíptica. Finalmente, para cada uno de estos modelos de sombreros se realizaron las simulaciones necesarias para poder compararlos.
A method to model hats enabling the analysis and comparison of their physical qualities, such as, protection from UV solar radiation was developed. The modelling method was validated through experimental results obtained using a mannequin exposed to the sun. Simulations were run to better understand which are the main variables that affect the performance of the hats. After an analysis of the economic and technical feasibility of fabricating the different hats, three hat designs were chosen for further study and simulations: traditional baseball cap, a cap with side flaps (wings) and a cap with an elliptic flap.
