- Description
- Global emissions have been on the rise since the industrial era because of the increased energy-intensive human activities, which is a direct cause of global warming and climate change. Of the total emissions, around 17% is from the transportation sector, which significantly contributes to the emissions. One of the easiest ways to be more sustainable is to choose electric vehicles instead of Internal combustion engines. Almost 75% of the vehicles registered in India are two-wheelers, but there are no affordable and reliable electric two-wheelers. This research works to optimize and analyze the design of a step-through frame design for an electric bicycle. The frame design is analyzed by providing boundary and loading conditions with two different materials (Steel-AISI4130 and Aluminum AL6061). The numerical analysis is carried out using ANSYS APDL. The result of von Mises stress is 166MPa and 160.4MPa for steel and aluminum, respectively. The result of stress and displacement is within the acceptable limit.
