  • Material and Design Optimization for an Aluminum Bike Frame
    Material and Design Optimization for an Aluminum Bike Frame A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty Of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By _______________________________ Forrest Dwyer _______________________________ Adrian Shaw _______________________________ Richard Tombarelli April 26th, 2012 _______________________________ Professor Diana A. Lados Abstract Fatigue is a prominent failure mechanism for mountain bike frames, and can lead to serious accidents, costly recalls, and poor product image for bicycle frame manufacturers. The team collaborated with a local bike company, in the process of developing a new 6061-T6 aluminum mountain bike, to investigate the fatigue behavior of the new frame and optimize the material/heat treatment and frame design. The fatigue testing was done in-house using a test rig specifically built for this project according to the ASTM standard F2711-08 for horizontal loading. 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. The FEA model enabled the team to predict fatigue failure locations and cycles to failure, and was further validated using the experimental fatigue testing results obtained from the prototype frames. On the physical frames tested, thorough fractographic examinations were conducted to identify the fatigue crack initiation locations and crack propagation mechanisms using optical and scanning electron microscopy. To complete the project, systematic studies were performed to optimize the frame’s design, materials and heat treatment for improved fatigue resistance.
