Bamboo Bike Frame Deflection Strength Test #2 - Daisy

[carcano38]

This is more of a test for the fork then the bike frame.

where did you get your bamboo from??? it looks soo clean compared to the one growing my ayrd

[HariVIyer]

hmmm...will it blend?

Work(J) = Load(N) x Distance(m). The load is in Newtons, not the energy. But this equation would be ok if the load applied load remains constant. In this test, the load is not constant because it comes from 0 to 890N. So you would need to use the average load. The right equation would be as follows: Work(J) = 1/2 x Load(N) x Distance(m). So, to achieve a strain energy of 40 J, the deflection would be about 9cm and not 4.4.

Energy is not in newton...

@Numeriwar "Should the energy absorption reading at 890 N..."

Not "energy absorption of 890 N...", AT 890 N, meaning that when 890 Newtons are applied the energy absorbed be less than 40J....

nvm i just watched the how to make a bamboo bike video xD

[dpsrush]

what do u use to connect the bamboo to the metal sockets, glue?
