| Abstract: | There are currently many different forms and
manufacturing methods for bicycle seat post on the market. This study
uses aluminum alloys (A7075) as research materials, and utilizes finite
element analysis software along with Taguchi method to design and
analyze in order to develop appropriate extrusion dies. A series of
simulation analyses in which the variables depend on different
thicknesses of the long axis and short axis of the seat post are reveal the
effectiveness of decreasing the warp and force deformation in the
bicycle seat post extrusion process. We used the multi-quality
characteristics (effective strain, effective stress and mold load) of
Taguchi method to find the optimal design parameters of design factors.
The simulation analysis provided insight into the optimal processing
conditions of the sectional shape of an aluminum alloy (A7075) bicycle
seat post. The experiment with simulation analysis shows satisfactory
results, such as process, mould dimension and mould parameters are
obtained. |
