Finite Element Analysis and Strength Appraisement of LX200 Motorcycle Frame

Xiaohui Shi

Abstract

With the software of CATIA and MSC.PATRAN,the finite element analysis model of LX200 motorcycle frame is built by combining it with the structure characteristic and actual loads.Then the feasibility and effectiveness of the model are verified.At last finite element calculation is applied to the model,and the strength of the frame is appraised based on the results of finite element calculation.The result shows that the design of LX200 motorcycle frame is conservative,and its weight can be considerably decreased.
