When we want to incorporate FEA techniques in ouranalysis, we should consider ways to simplify our model. A bike frame has avery small thickness relative to its surface area. Therefore, we can analyzethe geometry using shells.

Analysis (computational) times are much lower for shellsthan solid geometry.4 n: _9 N* L: |
Furthermore, laminar edges (coincident surfaces) aretreated as bonded, so there is no need to worry about knitting your surfacesbefore starting your analysis.$ h2 E6 `1 a( I: w& @( v
[attach]365869[/attach]Tapered vs. Non-Tapered Head TubeThere is quite a lot of hype about ‘tapered head tubes’ inthe performance cycling world [where the bottom profile of the head tube tapersout], but how much of a difference does it actually make? To find out, I ran astatic analysis to see if there was any noticeable effect on the frame’sstiffness.

These are simplified definitions for a body with onedegree of freedom. This can be applied to our case by analyzing the resultantdeflection in the direction of the applied force as long as one force isapplied at a time for each analysis.! e/ k! j# G7 Z
First, let’s look at the torsional stiffness. In order tocalculate torsional stiffness (for the Head Tube) we can create a resultantplot of the circumferential deflection about the Head Tube Axis (HT AXIS).* u5 O7 f7 c) o( n) T# ]9 F

By taking advantage of the extra spaceon the non-drive side, I was able to increase the lateral stiffness of theframe by 11%.
In the next part, I will furtherimprove the performance of the frame design by using CFD (computational fluiddynamics) analysis to optimize for aerodynamic performance.

這篇文章給人印象深刻的不是分析,而是自行車架的3D草圖。不要抱怨軟件如何如何,還是多檢討自己吧。
