Optimisation of the Spoked Bicycle Wheel University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering & Sciences Optimisation of the Spoked Bicycle Wheel Submitted by Jason Keller In fulfilment of the requirements of the ENG4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical, in full) Submitted: October, 2013 {Page left intentionally blank} Optimisation of the Spoked Bicycle Wheel ABSTRACT Despite the long history of bicycle wheels, there has been very few design changes because the current design is known to work. This study aimed to develop a method to provide optimised spoking geometries for rear bicycle wheels. MATLAB® was used to optimise the spoke geometries based on the best combination of torsional and lateral stiffness. The developed script can be easily adapted to calculate the optimised geometry for any wheel with tensioned spokes. The load responses of the optimised wheels were then compared with conventional 2X and 3X spoke patterns and three commercially available wheels using ANSYS® FEA software. When the optimised geometries were simulated in ANSYS® under torsional, radial and lateral loads, their performance was better than the conventionally spoked and commercial wheels that had similar specifications. These results confirmed that wheel design can be improved. The recommended guidelines produced in this study only apply to the wheel geometries contain herein, as certain limits were imposed on the hub flange radius and the spoke diameters. Limitations on the use of existing theoretical models have also been identified. Keywords: Bicycle wheel, rear wheel, dished wheel, ANSYS, MATLAB, torsional stiffness, lateral stiffness, design, optimisation.

  • How to Build a 36 Spoke Bicycle Wheel
    How to build a 36 spoke bicycle wheel. You’ll need: Hub & rim (for 36 spokes) 36 spokes & nipples. Spoke wrench & small flat screwdriver) How it’s done: 1.1) Insert spokes into every other hole on one side of the hub - spokes turning towards hub. 1.2) Locate the valve hole (the only hole larger than the others). Insert a random spoke into the hole right next to the valvehole, on the right side and screw on a nipple - be Figure 1.2 sure to only screw on a few turns, using your fingers or a small screwdriver Insert the next spoke into the forth hole, from the one you’ve just used. (See figure 1.2) 1 2 Flip “wheel”. 2.1) As 1.1, but be sure to place the spokes, just right of the spokes on the other side of the hub. This part is very important. 2,2) Insert spokes, starting at the valvehole (again), just right of the spokes from the other side. (See figure 2.2) Figure 2.2 3 Flip “wheel”. 3.1) Insert spokes in the last 9 holes. This time away from the hub. 3.2) Twist hub towards left. Spokes will turn left towards the rim, instead of straight. Follow the pattern “Over, over, under and skip a hole” (there’ll be only two holes left for the spoke to fit in) to insert the spokes in the rim. The spokes should turn the opposite direction of the ones already in the rim. (See figure 3.2) Figure 3.2 Over red and blue, under red, skip a hole.

  • Electronic Automatic Transmission for Bicycle Design Document
    Electronic Automatic Transmission for Bicycle Design Document Tianqi Liu, Ruijie Qi, and Xingkai Zhou Team 4 ECE 445 – Spring 2018 TA: Hershel Rege 1 Introduction 1.1 Objective Nowadays, an increasing number of people commute by bicycles in US. With the development of technology, bicycles that equipped with the transmission system including chain rings, front derailleur, cassettes, and rear derailleur, are more and more widespread. However, it is a challenging thing for most bikers to decide which is the optimal gear under various circumstances and when to change gear. Thus, electronic automatic transmission for bicycle can satisfy the need of most inexperienced bikers. There are three main advantages to use with automatic transmission system. Firstly, it can make your journey more comfortably. Except for expert bikers, many people cannot select the right gear unconsciously. Moreover, with so many traffic signals and stop signs in the city, bikers have to change gears very frequently to stop and restart. However, with this system equipped in the bicycle, bikers can only think about pedalling. Secondly, electronic automatic gear shifting system can guarantee bikers a safer journey. It is dangerous for a rider to shift gears manually under some specific conditions such as braking, accelerating. Thirdly, bikers can ride more efficiently. With the optimal gear ready, the riders could always paddle at an efficient range of cadence. For those inexperienced riders who choose the wrong gears, they will either paddle too slow which could exhaust themselves quickly or paddle too fast which makes the power delivery inefficiently. Bicycle changes gears by pulling or releasing a metal cable connected to the derailleurs.

    6th Annual International Cycling Safety Conference 21-22 September 2017, Davis, California, USA Analytical Model for the Radial Strength and Collapse of the Bicycle Wheel Matthew Ford*, Oluwaseyi Balogun# *Department of Mechanical Engineering #Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Northwestern University Northwestern University 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL, 60208, USA 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL, 60208, USA email: [email protected] email: [email protected] Keywords: bicycle wheel, strength, buckling, collapse, crash prevention, finite-element modeling 1 INTRODUCTION The bicycle wheel is a versatile engineering structure which serves many functions including supporting radial and lateral loads, transmitting propulsive torque, and sustaining braking loads. When a wheel is overloaded radially it typically buckles laterally (or “tacos”) which renders the wheel unridable. It is both of theoretical interest and practical importance to develop a theory for the strength—and failure—of the wheel. We analyze the failure mechanisms of tension-spoked wheels using a combination of computational and theoretical approaches. There are two primary failures which both lead to wheel collapse: loss of spoke tension, and lateral buckling of the rim. Designing against either failure mode presents a conflict because increasing spoke tension prevents spokes from going slack, but it also decreases the lateral stiffness of the rim, which is under compression due to the spokes. By analyzing these two modes separately and then equating the critical loads, we develop an expression for the wheel strength which is independent of spoke tension. 2 BUCKLING OF SPOKED WHEELS A bicycle wheel may buckle laterally—or “taco”—due to excessive spoke tension, lateral force, or radial force.

  • The Telescope Stand Inspiration for Marcel Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel
    Kunstgeschichte. Open Peer Reviewed Journal www.kunstgeschichte-ejournal.net STEPHEN FAWCETT (BALDERTON , NOTTINGHAMSHIRE ) The Telescope Stand Inspiration for Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel Readymade Abstract This article is the result of research following on from the author’s previous article on the same subject, ›The Inspiration for Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel Readymade‹ written in 2007. In that article the author argued by process of deduction that Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel was inspired by an improvised telescope stand and was not the product of the artist’s imagination as the artist claimed. This article presents new supporting evidence of a Great War period photograph of an improvised telescope stand made with a bicycle wheel and forks. This article also examines the dating of the first version and construction of the authorised versions of Bicycle Wheel and presents new evidence for the source of the forks component of the 1916 version. <1> Bicycle Wheel is a three-dimensional artwork by French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). This well-known Readymade exists today in various artist-authorised versions. 1 I have been fortunate to find a Great War era photograph (fig. 1) showing the inverted front forks and wheel of a bicycle being used as a universal type mounting for a telescope, an item of military equipment, exactly as I imagined in my 2007 article. 2 Although this telescope stand does not employ a stool, it nonetheless offers considerable support for my original contention that Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel was copied from an improvised telescope stand and was not the product of the artist’s imagination as he claimed.
