A New Concept of Bicycle Frame Design

Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1

Abstract

For the research purposes two of bicycle frame concepts have been developed. The biggest attention is given to the aesthetic and ergonomic aspects. After developing the concept of bicycle frames, their CAD models are created and FE analysis is performed. The distribution of loads is examined in critical frame areas, as well as deformation occurred under the influence of the real working load. The discussion of the results is performed and recommendations are given how the proposed conceptual solutions can became practically feasible. At the end of the paper are given the directions for further research on this topic.
