1 Computer Aided Optimization Design Based on Ergonomics for the Frame Form Generation of Electric Bicycle Chih-Fu Wu a, Chun-Ming Lien b a Associate Professor, Graduate School of Industrial Design, Tatung University,Taiwan b Graduate Student, Graduate School of Industrial Design, Tatung University,Taiwan Abstract 1 line space When designing a bicycle frame, the concept development process of designers is often limited by the production process, such as the analysis of the traditional frame forms. This research is to discuss the difference of recognition between student, office staff, and bicycle designer for the forms of electrical bicycles. The main bicycle components, which affect the electrical bicycle frame style, battery location, motor position, saddle style, and basket, were experimented by the orthogonal array. Then the semantic differential method was used to analyze the recognition and quantitative analysis to research the form analysis of recognition. The results were revealed that the recognition of those adjectives, safe, comfortable, stable, and haughty, between the three group is different significantly, and the bicycle components, affected those adjectives, are different. The purpose of this study also explores the possible variations of frame design of city bicycles. The edge boundaries were decided by using the results generated from ergonomic measurements including the arrangement of components, such as batteries and motor, riding posture, weight, and pressure. After that, the technique of Topology Optimization Design including optimization algorithm, structural analysis tool, and Topology optimization method was used to help reconstruct the frame forms. Consequently, the better form design of the electrical bicycle was created, which could be compatible with the favorite of consumers. Therefore, integrate the needed factors of each group to obtain the best combination of component form, about the recognition of electrical bicycle, we can provide a design standard for the electrical bicycle in future. The planning and analysis method in this research are quite useful for the bicycle components of the new product development. Keywords: Ergonomics, Electric bicycle, Topology Optimization Design
2 1. Introduction Because the blossom of exercising is in vogue nowadays, it is investigated that bicycle is the most popular exercising product. An estimation shows that there are about one billion bicycles in the world, and there are about ninety to one hundred million new bicycles enter the market each year. According to the investigation by Yang [1] et al., the bicycle designers place importance on the place of the battery most, and then the motor, frame form is the last one that designers are concern about. They also cluster frames in exist to investigate the influence of the frame form on image perception. And Wang [2] et al. use Bezier to construct frame forms and then investigate the image perception. Therefore we can see that designers still like to use the frame form in exist to design bicycles. John Chris Jones, 1992[3] bought up that designers were limited by their ideas in mind in concept development process. This study will use CAE to help designers when develop the concepts, in case of the lose of thinking point, and stimulate a design s design concepts. The method also can be used in the field of product design in which needs to concentrate on structure intensity. 2. The Factor of Affecting Frame Form Yang [1] put bicycles into seven kind of groups: mount bike, sport bike, city bike, lady bike, children bike, and folding bike. But not every kind of bicycles can be used for being electric bicycles, as the fig.1 shows, nowadays electric bicycles are designed as the kinds of mount bike, city bike, lady bike, and folding bike. Taiwan Bicycle Industry R&D Center[5] classifies bicycles, and finds out that the frame form of city bike has more different form designs. So we chose city bike to be the research object. The city bike s property is between mount bike and lady bike. The difference is the design of the angle of seat tube and head tube, we can see the handlebar are all straight type, so the reason to affect the posture of riders is the angle of seat tube and head tube. 2.1Exprimental Design for the recognition of electrical bicycle The main bicycle components, which affect the electrical bicycle frame style, battery location, motor position, saddle style, and basket, were experimented by the orthogonal array. Coping with the variation of electric bicycles and standard wrapped frames, the final result of setting the electric bicycle standard was obtained as shown in Table1. Table 1. Standards of setting Parameters for City Bikes Component Symbol Frame X1 Wrapping Wrapping 1 2 Battery X2 In front of Behind seat seat tube tube Motor X3 Fork Rim Saddle X4 Regular Medical Basket X5 Yes No 2.2Riding Posture Upper tube Front tube Craig [5] has proved that if the body of the bicycle rider tilt forward 15o can increase 4% vital capacity. It is because tilt forward can remove the weight of the body from chest. Wu [6] et al. used motion system to measure and found that when the frames sizes are different, the riders change their posture a lot, and their body s tilt angle also change a lot. Therefore when riding a bicycle, the human body s posture are related to the sport efficacy of lower limbs. The riding posture will affect the spread of frame loading force. We use motion analysis system to measure the rider s tilt body when they ride city bike, the arms and handlebar s horizontal angle is 46 degree, the body and the seat cushion s horizontal angle is 56 degree. 2.3 The Place of the Loading Force on Frame Edmund R. Burke [7] found that there are five points contact with bicycle when riding a bicycle. These points are two hands, buttocks, and two feet s, as we can see in fig. 1. Fig.1: Ergonomic Measurement by Using Motion Analysis System 2.4 Stepping Force
3 Hontz [8] use EMG to analyze the EMG of the lower lumps muscle, and found out that the motion of stepping on pedal is in order. Groot[9] et al. found that the angle of the seat post has no influence on exerting pressure upon pedal. Cal stone and M. L. Hullt [10] s research that when riding a bicycle at the speed of 10.2km/h and at the stepping 97rpm, the force and torque of step are measured as 475N and 50N at the Z axis and X axis. 3. Structure Optimization Design Structure Optimization Design can develop product form. In this field, it includes Size Optimization Design, Form Optimization Design, and Topology Optimization Design. The tech of Size Optimization Design and Form Optimization Design have been developed leaving out nothing required; however, the traditional Size Optimization Design and Form Optimization Design need to dependent on designer s experiment to give structure s initial form, and the initial form will get different local optimal answer. After Bendsφe Kikuchi [11] brought up that the idea of getting optimal material(optimal material distribution, OMD ), Structure Optimization Design has stride forward to the field of Topology Optimization Design. Therefore Topology Optimization Design help to improve traditional design, and it includes three modules: Optimization algorithm, Structural analysis tool, and Topology optimization method. 3.1 Optimization Algorithm There are several kinds of Optimization method nowadays. John Holland brought out Genetic Algorithm, and its general idea is like gene in chromosome. Through choosing fitness value randomly to decide appropriate parent, then the parent through the process of reproduction, cossover, and mutation to obtain the better next generation. The parent and next generation mean different arrangement of gene, and after several times of operations, we can switch the arrangement into structure design field to decide the optimal distribution of material. 3.2 Topology Optimization Method Hrennikoff [12] first brought out Finite Element Method which is used to calculate the displacements of each node and the value of stresses of each element in the structure to check the design requirement of allowable displacement or stress. 4. Experiment Method This study first use Topology Optimization to obtain frame forms, and then analyze these frames by using cluster analysis. This step is to prove the structure intensity. After that, do another cluster analysis by mixing the Topology Optimization frames and the city bike frames in exist. 4.1 Defining the Limitation of the Topology Optimization First, define the general city bicycle form, and the material is set as AL6061-T6. This study define the rider s weight to be 980N; the loading of the seat post is %(the proportion of the arm and weight ) and then decompose it to horizontal and vertical force; the loading of the head tube is % and also decompose it to horizontal and vertical force, therefore, we define it to be 1960N. Fig.2 The Initial Design Range Coordinates Fig.3 The Place of the Head Tube, Seat Tube,Chainwheel & Cranksand and Their LoadingForce 4.2 Resulting the Topology Optimization Bicycle Frame Form
4 After defining the limitation of the initial design range and loading condition, we execute the Topology Optimization program. This program result about three hundred frame forms. It is because this study will pay attention to the out figure, we invite four subjects who have design background to delete the similar frames and reserve thirty frames. Next we investigate ten subjects, about 24 years old, six males and four females. These ten subjects were requested to see thirty kinds of frames which are shows as gray color on pictures which size are 8cm*6cm. The frame form shows by the Topology Optimization is composed by rectangle elements, so it still need to be embellished. When embellishing the frame form, we need to notice the frame structure element s color. Red indicates the place where the stress is the largest, then is purple, blue shows the finite element which has normal stress. Therefore we can embellish the frame form by the picture resulted from Topology Optimization program. Then follow up the ANSYS to analysis the frames static structures, we use the same structure edge boundaries definitions to observe if the result can fit the intensity design. 4.3 Comparing the Topology Optimization Frame and the City Bicycle Frame in Exist The frame forms composed by rectangle elements were show to the subjects to test the similarity, and then do cluster analysis to group the frames into nine groups. After that, we chose the representative frame for each group, and proceeded the next experiment. Before ANSYS, we analysis the structure by using the same material and edge boundaries. The result shows that this structure s stress (Von Mises) is on the center of chainwheel, the value is N/mm2, this structure s largest stress is 1013N/mm2. After the stage of the first experiment, we use cluster analysis to sift the representative frames, and mix with the city bicycle frames in exist to do another cluster analysis. We investigate ten subjects, about 26 years old, six males and four females who don t have design background. The subjects compare the similarity by looking at the frame pictures which the size is 8cm*6cm show as gray color. They degree of similarity is 0-10 points, 10 is the most similar one and 0 is not. 5. Result 5.1 recognition of traditional electrical bicycle The analysis is performed on these 10 adjectives for the city bikes individually. The results were revealed that the recognition of those adjectives, safe, comfortable, stable, and haughty, between the three group is different significantly, and the bicycle components, affected those adjectives, are different. 5.2 The analysis of the Frame Form Generation Fig.5: Pictures we show to the subjects. The left blue rows arerepresentative frameswhich were produced by TopologyOptimization, the gray two rows show the frames which wereembellished. Fig.6: The right pictureshows the Von Mises, and the left oneshows the meshed module
5 After cluster analysis, we group the frames into eight groups, and chose the representative frames for each group. Then collect twenty-one frames in exist together with nine Topology Optimization frames. There are thirty frames altogether to do another similarity experiment. In this experiment result, the number 2,21, and 30 frames ( Topology Optimization frames)were together with number 22 frame(the frame in exist)which can show that the frame produced by Topology Optimization can be the real frame form. However, in the seventh group, all the frames are produced by Topology Optimization, and the frame form is like mount bicycle, and the eighth group is isolated group. Fig.7 :The Eighth Group is Isolated Group 6. Discussion and Conclusion The seven groups were obtained by Topology Optimization and is an isolated group. The eighth group is also isolated, therefore, the frames in the seventh and eighth group are not similar. So we can know the Topology Optimization truly can produce new structures, and this result shows the Topology Optimization Design can help stimulate a design s design concepts. This study shows the Topology Optimization program, and it can help designers to develop the concepts, and produce the structure that designers can t think about. The frames produced by the Topology Optimization need to be given initial design range and edge boundaries to construct the structures which can be used in reality. And this study also shows the rationality that we can use Topology Optimization on other product design development. Fig.8: The Fourth Group Shows the Topology Optimization Frames Were Similar with the Frame in Exist Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank the National Science Council of the Republic of China for financially supporting this research under Grant No. NSC E References [1] Yang Li-Hui, A Study on Electric Bicycle Form Image Perception, Tatung University Graduate School of Industrial Design, 2003, pp [2] Wang Chung-Hsin, A Study on the Influence of the Features of a Bicycle's Frame Form on the Image perception, National Cheng Kung University Graduate School of Industrial Design, 2003, pp [3] Jones John Chris, Design Method, Taiwan, Lu Her, [4] Hwang Hsin-Fu, A Study on the Deisgn Tendency of Bicycle Form in 1999, Taiwan Bicycle & Healthy Technology R&D Center, 2001, pp [5] Craig Jr. A.
