“…Currently, the finite elements method is widely used. There are many publications available which describe usage of this tool in simulations in order to assess the strain of steel bicycle frames [26][27][28], as well as frames made of aluminum [29][30][31], composites [32][33][34]. There are also articles which compare constructions of frames made of various materials e.g.…”

“…There is a noticeable lack of studies describing the modelling of external loads of frames relating to real-life road conditions. The study [29] makes an attempt to do this, however, the presented analyses refer to a frame with no suspension.…”

This paper is a case study conducted to present an approach to the process of designing new products using virtual prototyping. During the first stage of research a digital geometric model of the vehicle was created. Secondly it underwent a series of tests utilising the multibody system method in order to determine the forces and displacements in selected construction nodes of the vehicle during its movement on an uneven surface. In consequence the most dangerous case of loads was identified. The obtained results were used to conduct detailed strength testing of the bicycle frame and changes its geometry. For the purposes of this case study two FEA software environments (Inventor and SolidWorks) were used. It has been confirmed that using method allows to implement the process of creating a new product more effectively as well as to assess the influence of the conditions of its usage more efficiently. It was stated that using of different software environments increases the complexity of the technical process of production preparation but at the same time increases the certainty of prototype testing. The presented example of simulation calculations made for the bicycle can be considered as a useful method for calculating other prototypes with high complexity of construction due to its systematized character of chosen conditions and testing procedure. It allows to verify the correctness of construction, functionality and perform many analyses, which can contribute to the elimination of possible errors as early as at the construction stage.

Simulation tests for strength of the bicycle frame with profiles and universal connectors

Abstract: The article presents the concept of constructing a bicycle frame made of profiles and universal connectors, so that the user can build a frame adapted to his height. The geometry of spatial models was developed and the durability of the proposed solutions was analyzed.
