Results of FEA
11
Results of FEA
Less stress in the middle Therefore room for opti
mization of material thickness

FEA Results
Area of symetrical stress on the top tube

Future work
  • Apply FEA with entire frame
  • Run more cases with dynamic loading
  • Model tubes of frame with varying cross-section
    (thinner in darker blue areas)
  • Add welding at contacts and add gussets
  • Perform corrections to Pro-E model with
  • the cross-section removed from the places
    where the tubes intersect
