Abstract
In this paper, different materials have been selected using Ashby's charts of young's modulus with density (E vs. ρ) and strength with density (σ vs. ρ). The selected materials were analyzed for static forces on a diamond-typed bicycle frame in SOLIDWORKS, a computer-aided design software. The primary focus is to select a material of high strength, high stiffness, and lower mass as possible. The different materials selected for this purpose from Ashby's charts are CFRP, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and steel alloys. For analysis, the rider's weight distribution is considered as 30%, 45%, and 25% on the handlebar, bottom bracket, and rider’s seat, respectively. Based on various parameters such as maximum displacement, maximum stress-induced, and maximum stress to density ratio, it has been concluded that CFRP is the best-suited material for high strength, stiffness with lower mass for a bicycle frame.
