CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND STRESS ANALYSIS OF THE COMPOSITE FRAME OF DIRT JUMP MOUNTAIN BIKE

The subject of this paper is conceptual design and stress analyses of the composite frame for a special mauntain bike. The existing solutions for frames of this type were analyzed, and the design was conceptualized, which was thoroughly analyzed for extreme loads occurring on the Dirt Jump Mountain Bike Frames. By using the methodology of conceptual design, we have obtained a conceptual solution of the frame, which has been evaluated as optimal one based on a set of criteria. We later confirmed this hypothesis by the stress and other analyzes we carried out to validate the frame, and found that the chosen conceptual solution really meets all the criteria.
