DESIGN AND MATERIAL STUDY OF RACE BIKE CRANK

In this study we are going to study on design and material optimization of a race bike crank. The objective is to compare the stresses and weight saving of alternate crank material with existing steel crank. Increasing strength while decreasing or maintaining weight of the products is getting to be highly importan t research issue in this modern world. On design study compare alternative designs of crank for effective weight reductions. The best optimized design and material will be suggested. The material will be selected with objective of increasin g strength to we ight ratio.
