aesthetic and ergonomics for bicycle pdf
Abstract
A bicycle is a pedal driven , human-powered vechicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the
other.Bicycle is a mode of transportation. It is a good exercise machine. We can use it to move around or get good exercise.Completely we can say it is a good source of excercise.In the current project, effort has been made to understand the product and its market.following this the product trends are studied. By market survey, users requirements reflected various needs in the product. The different product of various brands were studied and bench marked. After benchmarking process problem identification was done and ergonomic issues of users in user environment were studied. The users interaction with the product, GEMBA, quality function deployment(QFD)table were made for bench marking. Considering all important parametres product design specification(PDS) wasformulated. Concepts were generated using themeboard of the users products. metaphores from nature and sportiveness were considered to get design inputs. Concepts were selected andfinalised from the generated concepts by Pugh's chart.Thefinal concept was modeled in 3D using PROlE, Photoshop, and ALIAS Studio Tools. For the final product appearance model was made using MDF media. The modifications to improve aesthetic of the bicycle and ergonomics are represented and disscused in the paper.
