FEM analysis for the bicycle
industry.
Prototyping is an expensive but necessary stage of a new product. To
reduce the cost of making
several prototypes and shorten the time-to-market, it is welcome when
the design is right the
first time. Redesigning or retooling when prototypes or even the first
production batches do not
comply with standards is very expensive. It is time consuming and it
also delays the time-to-market
for the new product. Digital testing in combination with a lot of real
world experience are
the tools to reduce these delays in the future.
A FEM analysis also provides a lot of information for future designs by
showing the stresspoints,
stress flow and magnitude. This knowledge guides evaluation to achieve
more refined designs in the future to stay ahead of the competition.
According to
NEN EN- 14764, 14766 & 14781 we provide the following simulations:
-
In phase / out of phase fatigue and overload tests for stems and
handlebars.
-
Fatigue test with pedaling forces and with vertical forces for bicycle
frames.
Beside the NEN EN guided tests we also provide:
-
Custom fatigue tests for other components.
-
Material advice of lightweight metals and their characteristics.
-
Custom (re)designing of components and frames.
