Stress Analysis of Bicycle Frame using Different Materials by FEA

The present study deals with the use of a finite element analysis to study the comparative behavior for a standard bicycle frame under a range of measured cases using four different materials such as Steel, Aluminum 6061 T6, Titanium grade 9 and Carbon Fiber. The modeling of the bicycle frame is done using CATIA V5 and the analysis is carried out in ANSYS 16.0. The stress acting within the bicycle are analyzed with respect of frame performance relating to static strength related to load applied. In this study static structural analysis of the bicycle frame is conducted under different load conditions such as static start-up, steady state pedaling, vertical impact, horizontal impact and rear wheel braking in four different materials using ANSYS.
