Structural analysis and optimization of bicycle frame designs

Abstract

This article analyzes the stress and optimizes the design of a customized bicycle frame using Pro/ENGINEER digital solid modeling computer-aided design software. This study attempts to verify the stress and displacement response of several types of bicycle frames using a wireframe model and then analyze the solid structure. In summary, for a shell-entity frame, the diamond-type frame (diamond-shaped) has the highest rigidity. The mechanical properties of AZ60/Al2O3p magnesium metal matrix nanocomposites by equal channel angular extrusion almost achieve the level of Al6061 aluminum.
