Development of validated simulation methods for the vibration test of bicycle frame.

Projectet completed at Tube Investments of India (Aug2017-April2018).

The objective of the project was to formulate a new FE simulation methodology (Static and Dynamic- Harmonic) and compare the simulated results with the laboratory test results to validate the proposed methodologies.

In this study unified harmonic based fatigue evaluation technique was developed for a bicycle frames which was more reliable than linear static solution.

Using this harmonic analysis technique a good correlation was found between prototype testing and FEA analysis.

Hence this helped to reduce development time. Tools used- Hypermesh, Ansys workbench
