Bicycle Crank
grabcad
1) Determine the displacements and stresses in a bike crank using 3D FEA capabilities in ANSYS Mechanical. 2) Verify the finite-element results from ANSYS by refining the mesh and also comparing with hand calculations. Material properties: The bicycle crank's material is aluminum 6061-t6. The Young's modulus is 10,000 ksi, and the Poisson's Ratio is .33. Boundary conditions: Apply a load of 100 lbf in the y-direction on the right hole surface and fix the 3 left hole surfaces as shown below. Note that this is an approximation of the actual loads and constraints on the bike crank.
