Abstract
This work looked into the finite element analysis of Bamboo frame bicycle using commonly used Computer Aided Design softwares. A solid model of the frame was created and a finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted using the ASTM standard as a guide, with appropriate mechanical properties for various sections of the bike and the joining welds. A maximum weight of 120kg was used for the weight and seat analysis, from the analysis performed, the most fragile area was identified as being the tubes near the bottom bracket, extra carbon fiber wrapping during assembly is recommended during production for the frame. Due to the nature of Nigeria’s (developing country) road, we simulated a pothole situation using a horizontal force of 1000N to the front tire. The analysis showed that the highest stress would occur nearest to the point of impact with the pothole.
