2.2 Finite Element Modeling
The model was created and the boundary conditions were applied to the model as shown in figure 01. Maximum force (95% man’s Weight of the population) is acting vertically downward to the end of the pedal. Force is 1160N to vertically downward to pedal. Crank is fixed as fixed support to the chain of the bicycle. Crank and pedal are connected with contact bond [2].
