Foldable Motor Bike
The folding motor bike designed for use in dense urban areas where
congestion is a problem. Already heavily used in most Indian cities, scooters and
motorbike provide cheaper, faster transportation than cars, but parking can still be
difficult. By allowing the motorbike to fold - reducing its footprint by more than
half- and by implementing a one-way user share model that does not require
motorbike ownership, many of the current issues involving transportation in dense
urban areas can be addressed.
Analysis of the elements of the motorbike that experience the most stress
are key structural elements in order to make them lighter while maintaining the
strength necessary for long life in a consumer environment.
The foldable motor bike was analyzed under maximum load conditions to
determine the safety factor of two of the frame components that experience the
most stress: the front fork and the main folding pivot axle.
We already have seen manyfoldable motorcycles in the global market but the
mainidea of this project is to provide a foldable motorcyclewhich is light & sleek
yet rigid & safe, easy tohandle and easy to maintain. Unlike theconventional
motorcycles.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The biggest problem with a road bike is that its large. Taking it on public
transportation is often challenging, if not impossible. And, you cant toss a
couple of these in your trunk like you can a folding bike.
You also have to lock up the bike so that thieves dont target it.
PROPOSED WORK
DESIGN CALCULATION
JOINT DESIGN
P = working load (N)
1. SELECTION OF MATERIAL
C10 mild steel
Carbon content = (0.10-0.18%)
Magnesium
= (0.40-0.70%)
Yield strength
= 200 n/mm2
CALCULATION OF DIMENSIONS
DIMENSIONS OF PIN
D = ((2*p)/( * ))1/2 = ((2* 1500) / (20* )) 1/2 = 7.0mm
Standard diameter = 15mm
DIMENSION OF b, a
b = 1.25 * d = 1.25 * 15 = 18mm
a = 0.75 * d = 0.75* 15 = 11.25 = 12 mm
DIMENSION OF EYE
D0 = 2*d = 2 * 15 = 30 mm
5. CHECK FOR STRESS IN THE EYE
Tensile
t = p/ b( d0-d )= 1500 / 18(30-15) = 5.55 mpa
t< 20 mpa
Compressive
c = p/ bd = 1500 / 18*15 = 5.55 mpa c < 20 mpa
Shear
= p/ b( d0-d ) = 1500 / 18(30-15)
= 5.55 mpa
< 10 mpa
