Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Low carbon steel (AISI 1018) has excellent weldability & produces a uniform and harder case and it is considered the best steel for carburized parts. Specific manufacturing controls are used for surface preparation, chemical composition, rolling and heating processes. Low carbon steel offers a good balance of toughness, strength and ductility. It is used to improve drilling, machining, threading and punching process.

M. Badruddin et.al., [21]   said that this paper is investigation of mechanical properties of cold drawn AISI 1018 at high temperature steady state conditions. The proposed models for prediction of the high-temperature mechanical properties of CDS AISI 1018 could be used to evaluate the response of CDS AISI 1018 structures in a fire if the thermal creep effect is not significant. M. Badruddin et.al.,[22]  said that low cycle fatigue properties of aluminizing Coating on cold Drawn AISI 1018 steel.  This testing is two typing in  mechanical and the low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of cold-drawn AISI 1018 steel (CDS 1018) with and without hot-dip aluminizing (HDA) coating had been experimentally investigated at room temperature. The tensile properties and the LCF properties were determined from tensile test results and cyclic strain-fatigue test results, respectively. Mohammed Z. Hasan et.al.,[24] said that Liquid carburizing is considered as one of surface heat treatment techniques of steel, where it is possible to produce surface layers with high hardness and good corrosion-wear resistance carburizing process. Increasing the period leads to an increase in the effective thickness or depth of the carbonized layer formed on the surface.

Polymer exchange membrane (PEM) Fuel cells, is being developed mainly for transport application, As well as for stationary fuel-cell application and portable fuel-cell application. The materials  lower temperature pressure ranges (50 to 100oC) and a special proton-conducting PEMFCs generate electricity and operate on the opposite principle to (PEM)electrolysis, which consumes electricity PEMFCs have high power density, low weight and volumes as compared to other fuel cells. Low temperature operation allows them to start quickly and also results in less wear and tear of system components. Noor U1 Hassan.et.al [2] study the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell in bipolar plate is one of the most significant contributes substantially Graphite polymer composites to the low-cost structure and the light weight of the stacks. It is main aim of the low cost and light weight bipolar plates using novel design, fabrication method and high performance. Azadeh Kheirandish.et.al [3] Said Fuel cells on pollution caused by burning fossil fuels,  proton exchange membrane fuel cell is advances for the future of the transportation industry. This aim of dynamic model for (pem) fuel cell is using an electric bicycle. It is the good results in linear regression model.  Azadeh Kheirandish.et.al [4]   this said that experimental process in  Zero-emission fuel cell driven systems are advances in the future of the transportation industry that have the potential to replace internal combustion engines, it is also save up to 28% of energy in electric vehicle. Azadeh Kheirandish.et.al [5] Said that Modelling Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell is the fundamental step in designing efficient systems for achieving higher performance.

Dimitrios Apostolou [6] Said that estimation in bike range under different routes and rides the rider opinions and a low financial evaluation of hydrogen fuel cost compared to other urban vehicle alternatives. This is low-pressure hydrogen storage it is used light duty vehicles.  Yean-Der Kuana.et.al [7] Said that using reinforced composite laminate graphite bipolar plate is designed to have high electric conductivity, low corrosion and good mechanical strength characteristics. It is  main aim  thermoset type phenolic resin process as matrix with a plain type graphite fiber cloth adopted  as the composite laminate reinforcement. The two common materials adopted for bipolar plates are carbon and metal. The developed bipolar plates is good stability are assembled into a single cell and tested . Xiong Shusheng.et.al [8] Said that on board hydrogen using fuel cell vehicles power source to drive the motor & lithium battery is used as the auxiliary power source to accelerate and recycle energy in order to meet the special requirements, like energy recovery, power and dynamic characteristics vehicles. It is compared to fuel cell hybrid drive pure fuel cell drive. Meiyappan siva pandian.et.al [9] Said that efficiency and economics is using polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell best performance & advantages, like simplicity, lifetime effectiveness, quick start up, low operating temperature and easy maintenance. The fuel cells as an parameters alternative power source have its electrical efficiency and also power output directly related to its economics. Wei-Lung Yua.et.al [10] Convey that it’s analysis in proton exchange membrane fuel cell various combinations of these parameters there are six primary parameters. It’s two method fractional factorial design & Taguchi method. It is possible to improve the fuel cell performance. Kui Jiao.et.al [13] polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology, there has been increasing demand for clean and sustainable global energy applications. The many device-level and infrastructure challenges that need to be overcome before wide commercialization can be realized, one of the most critical ones is increasing the PEMFC power density, and ambitious goals have been proposed globally. M. Muthukumar.et.al [19] Studied the working principle and the performance curves of fuel cells used for FCEV are discussed. The various components and accessories used in fuel cell systems and electric systems are studied. The efficiency of a fuel cell is analysed in different load profiles. As it is unable run a vehicle in one single fuel cell, we tend to stack the fuel cell in series or parallel to get the maximum power productivity to operate the vehicle.

II.  DESIGN SETUP

Bicycle frame parts measurements

A.  Bicycle Frame

The gear bicycle is environmentally friendly, safe and are a form of exercise with many other advantages, the bicycle industry has promoting them as green products. the major producer of bicycles and their components and is a centre for the development of manufacturing process technology and materials science. The appearance of a bicycle is no longer limited to the traditional style research and development have led to ergonomic designs with low-riding drag, a lightweight frame, greater strength, and improved handling to meet customized needs.

There are several challenges faced during the integration of customer/user requirements into the design process. In many instances, customers do not have knowledge on how to design the product, and customer-specified configurations need to be feasible and optimized for performance. The gear bicycle frame is a standard component of a bicycle, and every bicycle factory has a different design. Other important components are the tires, wheels, and pedals. The geometry of the frame governs the properties and performance of the bicycle. The lengths and angles of the frame affect a rider’s riding comfort and behavior. The gear bicycle fuel cell using fuel-cell technology, which uses pollution-free hydrogen gas to generate an electric current, could ignite gear bicycle fuel cell.  It is gear bicycle by using fuel cell lifelong fuel source.
