Problem Description Your job will be to analyze various components of a mountain bicycle. We will start with the pedal. Let’s assume a 200 lb person riding this bike is standing, balanced evenly on each pedal. Material (Steel) properties as specified below. Use a rough analysis to determine where the high stress areas exist that will require additional mesh refinement. | WORKSHOP 3 - BICYCLE PEDAL STATIC ANALYSIS Problem Description Your job will be to analyze various components of a mountain bicycle.
