Abstract

The need for bicycle transportation with strength and aesthetics as well as light weight is increasing, so it is necessary to innovate material technology to overcome these needs. The main components of a bicycle are the frame, wheels, handlebar, and pedals. In addition to the safety factor, what needs to be considered is the weight of the bicycle. Bicycle frame materials are generally made of steel and aluminium. To reduce the weight of the bicycle, the frame material is replaced by using carbon fibre material so that the bicycle becomes lighter and makes the rider less tired. The purpose of the study was to determine the number of layers, fibre direction and the type of carbon and Hybrid (carbon and hemp) used as bicycle frames. Using carbon fibre with plain (P), twill (T), and jacquard (J) types, with the number of layers every three layers and five layers (P3, P5, PH3, PH5, T3, T5, TH3, TH5, J3, J5, JH3, JH5), the tensile test was carried out using the BSEN 10002 standard, the compression test with the ASTM D695 standard and the impact test with the Charpy method using the ASTM E23 standard. Compression and tensile testing using a Taernogroki machine. The test results show that there is an effect of the type of carbon fibre and coating on the stress obtained from the tensile, compressive and impact tests, which show that Twill type carbon fibre is the strongest with stress of 540.60 kg/mm2, 525 kg/mm2 and 0.0157 N/ mm2, while the strongest layer type is pure carbon fibre layer type, and for the number of layers the strongest is five layers.
