Abstract

Mountain bikes have become a popular mode of transportation and recreation among extreme sports enthusiasts. A strong and lightweight frame design is crucial to support performance and ensure rider safety, especially in challenging terrain conditions. This study aims to explore the optimization of mountain bike frame design with a focus on the use of high-strength carbon materials. The research evaluates the performance and durability of the frame through Von Mises stress analysis, displacement, and safety factor under load variations of 65 kg, 70 kg, and 75 kg. The analysis results show that the stress increases with the load, from 7.298 MPa at 65 kg to 8.421 MPa at 75 kg. Displacement also increases, from 0.004982 mm to 0.005748 mm. The safety factor remains above 15, indicating a high safety margin for the material. These findings suggest that although stress and deformation increase, the frame design still meets the strength standards required for user safety. This research contributes significantly to the development of more efficient, sustainable bicycles, and serves as a reference for manufacturers in designing safe and comfortable products. Recommendations for further testing include dynamic load analysis to understand the frame's behavior under real-world usage conditions. Keywords: AL 6061, Mountain Bike Frame, Simulation

Abstract

To accommodate heavy tool movement, forklifts are commonly used. However, a forklift is too large for use in confined workspaces within small industries. Therefore, it is proposed that a 'Working Lift Cart' be designed with a compact size. This research aims to design and develop a compact lift cart that offers flexible movement and reduces operational risks compared to existing forklift products. The method employed in this research involves a direct analysis of two proposed product plan concepts. The proposed concepts are selected based on a needs analysis. The chosen concept undergoes a safety risk analysis from the operator's perspective using the RULA method, while the product design is subjected to static stress analysis on the frame and the lifter. The results indicate that the second concept, with greater operational flexibility, is chosen. The RULA analysis, conducted using CATIA software, indicates that operating with a remote controller is significantly safer and less prone to injury. However, manual operation is retained for usability purposes. The analysis of the frame structure and lifter shows that the proposed design is safe for a 100 kg load on the lifter.
