ABSTRACT

In this paper, the research object is the cycling equipment which is a common fitness equipment. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were optimized in a virtual prototype, and analysis was carried out on its structural mechanical characteristics and dynamic performance, etc. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were obtained through modal, random response and harmonic response analyses, and the structural reasonability after optimization was verified. This research will ptovide clues to avoid unreasonable design of the cycling equipment, besides an effective analysis was made and assessment method for cycling equipment design was proposed.

Keywords:

Dynamics, finite element, optimization of cycling equipment.
