A MOVEMENT AND STRAIN MODEL OF THE BICYCLE
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2010, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The bicycle is an extremely popular, non-polluting means of transportation and leisure, of ancient tradition and high perspectives. Therefore, the interest in manufacturing perfected bicycles with improved characteristics is justified. Designing gearings that should allow the bicyclist to move along at the desired speed under various conditions of road and resistance to advancement is of high interest.The paper herein submits a brief history and a simple movement and strain model of the bicycle, as necessary initial stage to the purpose of a critical analysis upon the gearings currently used in bicycles. Based on the elaborated model, an analysis of the variation in the movement and strain parameters of the bicycle are performed, different correlations of their variations being enhanced.
