Aim :
The aim of the work is design, analysis and fabricate a
bicycle frame. To increase strength and reduce the weight of
bicycle .
Objectives :
we are selecting the three different materials and
analysis the properties for each material . Then we compare and
select the best one and fabricate the bicycle frame

Introduction
Literature Review
Name of the author: M.V.Pazare
Concept:
This paper deals with the stress analysis of bicycle frame (mild
steel). The analysis is carried out in ANSYS and compared with
theoretical results. In theoretical analysis the frame is treated as
truss like structure and the stresses in various members of frame
like top tube, down tube are determined, considering various
condition like vertical impact, horizontal impact. Also Analysis is
done considering the above conditions.

Conclusion
In this project we concluded that alloy steel is most suitable
for the frame fabrication depends on the following conditions
that are given,
As previously specified this prototype was constructed in an
attempt become familiar with the fabrication method and to
validate the finite element analysis.
The first and most substantial improvement which
reevaluated from the fabrication of this prototype is the
realization that the weights of alloy steel. This frame seems
generally too sulky have reduction of the frame thickness
was in order.
