| + | ::*Component Summary Chart |
| − | : Group 22 and 21 are working on the mini road bike. Group 21 is reverse engineering the front half of the bike while our group, 22, is taking apart the back end of the bike. For front half of bike disassembly see [http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/wiki/Group_21_-_Beginner_Cruiser_Motorcycle Group 21.] Although both groups are working independently, both groups will be meeting the third week in order to take apart the engine together. This will ensure neither group is short handed time for dissection. <br/> | + | ::*Detailed Component Summary |
| − | <br/>'''Materials:'''
| + | :*Design Revision |
| − | <br/>
| + | :*Solid Model |
| − | : For our group to reverse engineer our product, we need to have the right tools. A few of the tools that will be needed are a ratchet and socket set, an Allen wrench set, needle nose and Flathead pliers. The Allen wrenches as well as the ratchet and socket set will be used for the majority of the disassembly. The Philips and Flathead screwdrivers will be used for smaller components such as the light. The Flathead will be specifically used for the valves on the carburetor. A crescent wrench will be used for removing the front fork from the frame of the bike. A gear puller and channel locks are also good tools to have for the project.<br/> | + | :*Engineering Analysis |
| − | <br/>'''Time:'''

| + | |
| − | # We will take a week to take apart the brakes, gears, and rear wheel assembly. Our plan is to take everything behind the engine while group twenty-one takes everything in front of the engine.
| + | |
| − | # The front fork, headlight and handle bar assembly will be taken apart by Group 21. This will eliminate the need for both groups to perform the assembly and disassembly of the bike twice. For front half of bike disassembly see [http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/wiki/Group_21_-_Beginner_Cruiser_Motorcycle Group 21.]

| − | <br/>'''Challenges:'''
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | : Some challenges we are expecting to encounter include taking apart the clutch, reassembling the engine, reassembling the pull start, taking the gears off, and putting the brakes back into working order. The clutch works on centrifugal force using springs to engage and disengage the power to the rear wheel, group members who have worked with clutches before explained how difficult they can be to work with. The reassembly of the engine needs to done in such a way that all of the peaces must go in and be tightened to a manufacturer specific tolerance. As for the gears some of them look to be held on by only a bolt while others look like they were pressed onto a spine and if that’s the case a gear puller may or may not work. The reassembly of the brake is the last part that we foresee having a problem with, not that we think it is overly difficult but experience says that it may take a few tries to get them to an acceptable state.<br/>
| + | |
| − | <br/>'''Capabilities:'''
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | : Members of group have owned a motorbike prior to project and are familiar with the parts and components of the project bike. One member has experience with computers well enough to work on the Wikipedia web site. One member has experience completely taking apart an engine. The back end of the bike has the brake components, and multiple members are familiar with taking off and reapplying brakes on vehicles.<br/>
| + | |
| − | <br/>'''Shortcomings:'''
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | : Most members don’t have much solid modeling skills or web site building skills. Time constraints on the due dates will be challenging since all members are full time students. Most of the group members have not taken apart an engine, and the engine is agreeable to be the most testing part on the project.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ===Management Proposal=== | + | ==Critical Project Review== |
| − | The following Gantt chart outlines our plan from start to finish including reassembly and delivery of the project. The chart starts from October 20th 2009 and is separated into 10 day increments until the final due date of December 11th 2009. The opening steps of the project are located at the bottom of the chart and the final portion of the product is located at the top of the chart.

| − | ===Initial Product Assessment===
| + | :'''Seat:''' |
| − | '''What is the intended use of your product?'''<br/> | + | |
| − | : Our product is meant to be used as a recreational vehicle for off road riding, as well for regular day-to-day transportation. The product is more aimed at home use rather than professional use. The bike has off road and racing capabilities. The two functions that can be used for this product are transportation and even the possibility of hauling small loads. Also, and possibly the most fun, would be the function of racing the motorbike.<br/>
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | '''How do you think the product works?'''<br/>
| + | :: Place the seat back on to its position on the frame. Screw in the two 1/4inch nuts and the middle 3/4inch nut using their respective wrenches. |
| − | : A 196cc gasoline engine drives our product. The gasoline is used in a combustion process that powers a shaft that will turn a chain attached to the rear wheel. The front of the bike has a freely rotating wheel that enables the bike to turn, as well as an automatic headlamp for safety. During the combustion process, chemical energy is used to produce mechanical energy. There is also electrical energy, radiation energy, and internal energy used in our system. The chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy to move the bike, and into electrical energy to power the headlamp. The light in the headlamp is emitted radiation energy, and there is internal energy stored in the original gasoline used to start the system.<br/> | + | {|align="center" |

| | + | |} |
| | + | <br style="clear:both" /> |
| | | | |
| − | '''How complex is the product?'''<br/>
| |
| − | : The most complex part of our mini road bike is its engine. However looking more closely, each individual component becomes less and less complex as your break it down. The mini bike is less complex then a regular motorcycle, or even a car, but much more complicated than a human powered bike. We estimated that there were around 50 or so components used. This number includes the brakes, frame, tires, light, engine, capacitor, chain, shaft, and many other components that go into making the bike functionable. <br/>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''What materials are used?'''<br/> | + | :'''Rear Fender:''' |
| − | : The product is comprised of many different materials both seen on the surface of the bike and in the engine. Some of the materials that are not clearly visible are different metals, rubber, plastics, copper wires, and padding for the seating. More materials that are visible include glass, metal, plastics, and leather/fabric for the seat.<br/>
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | '''If you had to use this product, would you be happy with it?'''<br/>
| + | :: Place the fender in its designated location under the seat on the bike. There are 4 9mm nuts that need to be tightened using a 9mm socket wrench and two bolts two either side on the interior of the fender. A metal bracket must be placed on the interior of the fender between the bolts and the fender itself. |
| − | : Our group decided that yes, we would all be happy with using this product, especially after testing out the product on 10/7. The seat on the bike is very comfortable with ample cushioning for a comfortable ride. The bike is also extremely easy to use. There are no gears to worry about, as well as no worry of accidentally switching into neutral. Yes, the product does require some regular maintenance. The servicing can include maintenance on the engine, oil, fuses, tire pressure, and replacing a light bulb. The service on the bike does range from easy maintenance to difficult/time consuming maintenance.<br/> | + | {|align="center" |

| | + | <br style="clear:both" /> |
| | | | |
| − | '''What other alternatives to this product are there?'''<br/> | + | :'''Hand Brake and brake line:''' |
| − | : Being as there so many different bikes available, there are always alternatives to our mini motorcycle. You can always use alternative transportation such as a car, a train, or a bus. A few alternatives to our mini bike include a Baja Heat mini bike, costing about $720, a Harley Davidson motorcycle costing around $16,500, and a 200cc dirt bike costing about $800. Some advantages for the Harley are the performance and the name. The dirt bike is able to go faster than our mini bike, and is quite more agile. The Baja Heat mini bike is a comparable item to our in cost and performance. The disadvantages include the cost of a Harley motorcycle. In addition, a dirt bike can be very dangerous, and you have to buy extra gear for all of the bikes. Also bad weather will inhibit a motorcycle rider for riding, and accidents are often more deadly and dangerous on a motorcycle than in any other vehicle. | + | ::Place the break line in between the handle and the top bracket. The handle and the top bracket of the hand brake can be assembled using a Phillips head screw driver on the single screw. The top and bottom bracket are assembled by using a 9mm wrench on the two bolts. Once the front portion of the bike is assembled this assembly will be secured to the handle bars. |

| | | | |
| − | ==PRELIMINARY PRODUCT REVIEW==
| + | :'''Brake System:''' |
| − | ===Causes For Corrective Action===
| + | ::Turn the bolt counterclockwise to clamp the spring. Secure the bracket using a 10mm wrench on the bolt. When placing the drum brake back on the bike the brake line must be aligned with the space in the bracket. Attach a black bracket to the drum brake using a 10mm socket wrench. Insert a pin through the bolt to secure the bolt in place. |
| − | : There was no real cause for any corrective action during the disassembly of the product. Our management plans worked fairly well due to the fact that all group members have similar schedules and were able to attend meetings regularly. Our group met twice a week every time the dissection lab has been open. By designating the front half of the bike to Group 22, we were able to remain on schedule easily. Each member handled their responsibilities with precision. By each member being present and on task we were able to complete each step in a timely fashion. Our group did not stray from the time line established on the Gantt chart. One challenge we approached was being unsure where to place our disassembled portions of the bike. Due to the congestion of the dissection lab space was severely limited. However, that was resolved by making use of space under a counter in a corner of the dissection lab. With this space we were able to stack all of our remaining materials in an “out of the way” location in an attempt to prevent any potential accidental tampering with the product. | + | {|align="center" |

| − | : The wheel is removed next. Remove the chain from the drive gear located on the tire. The chain won’t be removed from the assembly since it is still attached to the engine. Loosen the nut on the end of the axle by using a 12mm socket wrench on one end while using a 12mm wrench on the other to hold it in place. There are two washers attached to the axle that have a bolt attached to it perpendicular to the axle. They are located on either side of the tire and each is attached to the frame by 9mm nuts. Remove these nuts by using a 9mm socket wrench. The axle can now slide out of the tire. The axle has two cylinder spacers that will come off with the axle. | + | |

The pull rope must then wrap around this wheel. The rope must be wound around the inner wheel of the main housing. Pull the rope to tighten the spring. This allows the spring to reach a maximum tension. Rewind the rope around the main housing so it retracts when it is pulled. Once the pull start is reassembled attach the assembly to the flywheel cover using three 8mm bolts and an 8mm socket wrench. |

| − | '''Reasons for Materials Used:'''<br/>
| + | ===Final Assembly Evaluation:=== |
| − | : Aluminum was used because it is cheap and fairly strong and doesn’t need to withstand any heavy collisions. Also, Aluminum was used because it is not that great of a conductor of heat, and is used as the material for the heat shield.<br/>
| + | :* Our product runs as well as it did prior to disassembly. In fact, our bikes speed was increased by making minor adjustments to the throttle. We adjusted the max position of the throttle and increased the idle position to slightly below the clutch’s engaging rpm. In doing so the bike’s performance increased. Unfortunately, after reassembly we discovered that our headlight bulb was broken or malfunctioning. We also noticed that we would have to secure our cables to the frame using tape. We believe the headlight was broken when our disassembled bike pieces were moved by an unknown party in between group meetings. The headlight is not shattered or fractured in anyway, it just fails to illuminate. |
| − | | + | :* The difference in assembly and disassembly can be found in the speed of both processes. Although the exact times were not documented, it took us approximately 4 days to fully disassemble the bike. Reassembly only took two group meetings. All the same tools were used for both processes. The only difference was the use of tape instead of sip ties. |
| − | : The plastic was used where liquid was involved and where the parts needed to move a little bit. The plastic allows some sway and movement with the parts, and is strong enough to handle some wear and tear. The plastic is also used because it is a cheap alternative to other types of materials, and it can be replaced easily with little or no cost. <br/>
| + | :* It is necessary to consider that the pull start was incredibly difficult to reassemble. It should not be taken apart unless there is a problem with the mechanism. Upon reassembly, it should also be taken into consideration that the idle position for the throttle should not be too high. By not taking this into consideration the bike upon start may take off by itself. |
| − | | + | |
| − | : Stainless steel was used in the springs as most springs are made of stainless steel according to www.indspring.com/material.html. Stainless steel was used because it is a very strong type of metal, and is very resistive to wear and tear, and will last a long time. <br/>
| + | |
| − | : Zinc was used in the carburetor as most carburetors use zinc according to www.alibaba.com/product-gs/.../JAWA350_6V_Carburetor.html.

| − | ===Design Revision=== | + | |
| − | *One design revision would be to change the position of the exhaust. Currently, the exhaust it is positioned to blow hot air on to the seat. If you were to ride the bike for a long time the seat would get very hot and you could potentially burn yourself on the seat and the metal surrounding the seat. We would move the exhaust by placing the exhaust exit near the back of the bike close to the wheels, such as in a Harley Davidson bike. If we were to fix it on the current bike we would put a funnel where the exhaust exits and run the funnel to the back of the bike by the wheel. By changing the exhaust you make it more comfortable and safer to ride for a long period of time. Making these changes would not increase the price very much. The material added to the bike would not add to the weight enough to affect the speed or gas mileage of the bike. We are surprised that they still have the exhaust blowing on the seat as it is very uncomfortable. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *A second design revision we would consider for the road bike would be the steering ability of the Baja Mini Bike. During our initial testing of the bike, we found that the turning capabilities of the bike were nothing to be desired. There is a bar on the front wheel which inhibits the bike from turning sharply. Because of the bikes inability to turn effectively, a rider could potentially crash when trying to maneuver the bike in tight spaces. The only way we can fix this problem is if we were to remove the turning stopper already in place on the road bike. Another fix for this problem would be decreasing the size of the bar, giving the bike better turning abilities rather than giving the bike full rotation. In doing so, this would increase the functionality of the bike, as well as making a safer ride for the owner. This design change would cost the company very little or money at all, and wouldn’t be hard to complete. It would be a very easy change for the company to make in their design, and would yield more satisfied customers.

| − | ===='''Assumptions'''====
| + | |
| − | *The cable is a static problem.
| + | |
| − | *The cable is made of steel (most brake cables are made from steel).
| + | |
| − | *The tensile strength of the steel assuming it is type: AISI 1060 0.6% carbon is 2200X106 N/m2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_strength).
| + | |
| − | *The radius of the wire is .25 cm.
| + | |
| − | *No friction on cable.
| + | |
| − | *No outside forces acting on the cable.
| + | |
| − | *No gravitational force on the cable.
| + | |
| − | *No fatigue on the cable.
| + | |
| − | *The force from hand acts at a single point in only the Y direction.
| + | |
| − | *The brake cable doesn’t slip when the brake is applied.
| + | |
| − | ===='''Governing Equations'''====
| + | |
| − | Static Problem: Moment (at pin) = 0 = Force*distance

| − | Tension (needed to snap wire) = Tensile strength * area

| + | |
| − | F= 16614 N<br/>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===='''Solution Check'''====
| + | |
| − | : The units check out for force, and the answer seems reasonable for the strength of steel and the way the handle is oriented. The moments were correctly configured and the math checks out. The force to break the cable is more than a human can apply so it shouldn’t break from forces of the rider.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===='''Interpretation and Discussion:'''====
| + | |
| − | : The answer will vary depending upon how much fatigue the wire has experienced. As the cable experiences more fatigue, the smaller the force it would take to break the cable. Friction would also cause fatigue on the wire. On the real mini bike the steel may be different than the one I assumed, and therefore would have a different strength. There is no way to find out as it is not listed on any web sites and I don’t know how to tell different types of steel apart from sight. If the radius of the cable was changed, this would change the outcome. The greater the radius, the more force you would need to snap the cable. The cable is not a static problem in real life so the outcome would be different. The gravitational and other outside forces would have an effect on the fatigue and the force on the cable. The force on the brake in real life wouldn’t act as a single force but would be spread out all over the brake. If the tensile strength were stronger you would need a greater force to snap the cable. The force required is very high, too high for the rider to snap it. I expected that because steel is very strong and a human cannot break it by themselves. The only way the cable could snap from the riders force would be if it wore down from friction or fatigue. Also, when the break is pulled, there is some give on the cable from the hand brake, which would change the force to snap to cable. The distance from the pin would also change the answer. The farther away the force is applied the greater tension is applied. The force also would be spread out over the brake not as I assumed. This would change the force applied to the brake and where it acts. It would act as a function over the hand brake not as a single force. This would change the force applied and the force applied to the cable. Also, the hand brake on the bike would most likely deform or break if that much pressure was applied. The pin connecting the cable to the hand brake would also break before the cable was to fail if this much pressure was applied.
