Abstract

This project provides an explanation of topology optimization on the bike collar bone that can be seen on the front of the head tube on a bicycle.The journey of this project is closely related to the three previous objectives.The first objective is to ensure that structural load analyzes achieve value that is aligned with the load applied to the model.Hence,the second objective to be achieved during this project is the implementation of the static pressure analysis on the part of the previously mentioned bicycle.Static pressure is aimed at obtaining a safety factor value of at least 1.0.While the last objective is about topology optimization,which is generally to reduce the weight of a model.Weight reduction was reduced by 35% on the front of the bike.In addition,the problem statement for this project is the weight of a bike frame,a form of aesthetic value,the manufacture of a bicycle frame that contributes to natural pollution,and the durability and integrity of the bike frame when the weight is reduced.The most critical project implementation starts as early as the power in simulation,until the model is physically matched by using 3D printing methods.The entire project based on the three stated objectives was implemented using Fusion 360 computer software.As soon as all the data on the load and the impact on the part of the bike mentioned above, the graph of the connection between the load charged against Von Mises,the safety factor,and the displacement value is built.Theoretical and comparative approaches to the original parts of the bike have also been implemented.Therefore topology optimization is proven that weight reduction does not affect the original function of a bicycle part.Finally,a review of new materials in the development of topology and printing process improvements has been suggested for future research.
