INTRODUCTION

(Fracture) Toughness

IS Unit? Physical aspect?Lower value of Kc?

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

ConsequenceWhat are materials with the best Kc/Re and Kc²/Re ratio?

When do we use respectively Kc/E and Kc²/E ?

MATERIALS SELECTION FOR BICYCLES

Beams Wheel spokes

MATERIALS SELECTION FOR BICYCLES (BEAMS)

Generally: Bending, shearing, compression, tension and torsion elements.

Here, simplified hypothesis : bending tubes only
