Analysis of Bicycle Frame Using Composite Material

Rector-Technical, AMET University, Chennai

Abstract

The casing of the bike is the fundamental structure to help the outer burdens. Conventional materials of the bike outline are steel or aluminum amalgam. With the end goal of lessening weight, the carbon/epoxy composite materials are presently generally used to make the bike outlines. The auxiliary examination of the casing is an essential stage in the outline procedure of the bike. Limited component technique was embraced to examination the basic practices of composite bike outline. Distinctive stacking succession and fiber heading have diverse effect on the disappointment list, i.e. the worry to quality proportion at various stacking conditions. Thus an ideal handle configuration must be finished. The quality estimations of T300 carbon/epoxy composite are utilized as a part of this examination. On the premise of Maximum anxiety rule, an ideal utilize outline for various stacking conditions has been recommended in this work. The best stacking arrangement of the composite edge is recommended on the premise of Failure list of the previously mentioned criteria. Singular Ply disappointment is considered and the employ disappointment will happen when disappointment list esteem is more noteworthy than one. Bike outline demonstrating was done in CATIA V5 programming. Shell component is utilized to demonstrate the composite bike outline. Two testing techniques for the bike outline, i.e. frontal and vertical burdens are embraced in the examination. From the limited component investigation comes about, feeble areas, that is locales with higher anxiety focus are recognized on the bike outline. With a specific end goal to diminish this anxiety fixation, Structural changes are done on the edge work. Limited component investigation is again done on the casing work to approve the discoveries.
