Abstract:
High performance mountain bike frames nowadays are commonly built of carbon composites (CFRP), because of their excellent material properties allowing very high stiffness and strength at low weights. But this material has also disadvantages as it is sensitive to transversal impact loads. Impacts damage the material inside and can therefor affect the structural safety. As impact damages are often barely visible from the outside, they are very critical for structural parts like bike frames. A moun...     »
