| Abstract [eng] |
Nowadays bike has quite an important place among other modes of transport. It provides greater freedom of movement, and it is used for leisure, travelling, tourism and sports. It is not only convenient but also cost-effective vehicle of travelling. As the bicycle wheel is one of its most important elements that determine the wheel control, so it is important that the static strength and rigidity would comply with the requirements of qualify. Quality requirements compliance has an impact on the quality and safety of the bicycle. Compliance to the requirements is determined during the experiment. The experiment is considered positive if there are no breaks, cracks, scratches and the structural changes in shape meet the permitted levels. In order to analyse and experimentally verify the handlebar static strength and rigidity using tenzosensor measurement and information system operated by „Catman” software has been made an experimental bicycle wheel strength and rigidity analysis. Experimental results and finite element method calculations showed that the bicycle wheel meets the strength and rigidity standards requirements and don’t exceed them. |
