Bike Crank: Part 2

Created using ANSYS 14.5

Learning Goals

In this tutorial, you will learn to:

  • Determine the strain values that would be measured by a strain rosette mounted on the bike crank. 
  • Verify the finite-element results from ANSYS by comparing it with hand calculations (beam theory). 

Problem Specification

Consider adding a strain rosette to the ANSYS bike crank model, from the previous bike crank tutorial, to predict the strain that would be measured by a rosette mounted on the crank model. The rosette is placed along the top edge on the front face of the crank, midway between the support hole and the loaded hole. The specifications of the rosettes are shown below.
