FEA Analysis of a Bicycle Brake Lever
Problem A bicycle brake lever was analyzed for stress and deflection with classical methods and simplified geometry in Case Study 1B (p. 206). Analyze this assembly with FEA and compare the results to the earlier study.
Given The geometry and loading are known from Case Study 1A (p. 79) and a classical stress analysis was done in Case Study 1B (p .206). The average human’s hand can develop a grip force of about 267 N (60 lb) in the lever position shown.
Assumptions A static analysis is acceptable due to a small number of load cycles.
